ARTICLE III 

ADMINISTRATION 
 3.1
The Committee. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Committee. To the extent required to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 (if the Board is not acting as the
Committee under the Plan) or necessary to obtain the exception for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, as applicable, it is intended that each member of the Committee shall, at the time such member takes any action
with respect to an Award under the Plan that is intended to qualify for the exemptions provided by Rule 16b-3 or to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, as
applicable, be a Qualifying Director. If it is later determined that one or more members of the Committee do not so qualify, actions taken by the Committee prior to such determination shall be valid despite such failure to qualify. 

3.2 Grants of Awards. The Committee shall have full authority to grant, pursuant to the terms of the Plan and applicable
law, to Eligible Individuals: (i) Stock Options, (ii) Restricted Stock, (iii) Performance Awards; (iv) Other Stock-Based Awards; and (v) Other Cash-Based Awards. In particular, subject to the provisions of the Plan and
applicable law, the Committee shall have the authority to: 
 (a) select the Eligible Individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be
granted hereunder; 
 (b) determine whether and to what extent Awards, or any combination thereof, are to be granted hereunder to one or
more Eligible Individuals; 
 (c) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 

(d) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not
limited to, the exercise or purchase price (if any), any restriction or limitation, any vesting schedule or acceleration thereof, or any forfeiture restrictions or waiver thereof, regarding any Award and the shares of Common Stock relating thereto,
based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion); 

  
 7 








 (e) provide for the accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions of any Award at any time; 

(f) determine the amount of cash (if any) to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 

(g) determine whether and under what circumstances a Stock Option may be settled in cash, Common Stock and/or Restricted Stock under
Section 6.4(d); 
 (h) determine whether a Stock Option is an Incentive Stock Option or
Non-Qualified Stock Option; 
 (i) impose a “blackout” period during which Options may not
be exercised; 
 (j) determine whether to require a Participant, as a condition of the granting of any Award, to not sell or otherwise
dispose of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Award for a period of time as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, following the date of the acquisition of such Award; and 

(k) modify, extend or renew an Award, subject to Article XI and Section 6.4(g), provided, however, that such action does not subject the
Award to Section 409A of the Code without the consent of the Participant. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the
securities of the Company are listed or traded, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or
persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may delegate to one or more officers of any member of the Company Entities, the
authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of, or which is allocated to, the Committee herein, and which may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for
grants of Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.2, it is intended that any action under the Plan intended to qualify for an exemption provided by Rule 16b-3, and/or the exception under Section 162(m) of the Code related to persons who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and/or who are, or who are reasonably expected to be, “covered
employees” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, will be taken only by the Board or by a committee or subcommittee of two or more Qualifying Directors. However, the fact that any member of such committee or subcommittee shall fail to
qualify as a Qualifying Director shall not invalidate any action that is otherwise valid under the Plan. 
 3.3
Guidelines. Subject to Article XI hereof, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan and perform all acts, including the delegation of its
responsibilities (to the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable stock exchange rules), as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable; to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and
any Award Agreements relating thereto); and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or 

  
 8 








 
reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to effectuate the purpose and intent of the Plan. The Committee may adopt
special guidelines and provisions for persons who are residing in or employed in, or subject to, the taxes of, any domestic or foreign jurisdictions to comply with applicable tax and securities laws of such domestic or foreign jurisdictions. For the
avoidance of doubt, in taking actions under this Section 3.3, the Committee shall act in good faith. To the extent applicable, the Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule
16b-3, and, with respect to Awards intended to be “performance-based,” the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a
manner so as to comply therewith. 
 3.4 Decisions Final. Any decision, interpretation or other action made or taken in
good faith by or at the direction of the Company, the Board or the Committee (or any of its members) arising out of or in connection with the Plan shall be within the absolute discretion of all and each of them, as the case may be, and shall be
final, binding and conclusive on all Persons, including all employees and Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 

3.5 Designation of Consultants/Liability. 

(a) The Committee may designate employees of the Company and professional advisors to assist the Committee in the administration of the Plan
and (to the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable exchange rules) may grant authority to officers to execute agreements or other documents on behalf of the Committee. 

(b) The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may
rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant and any computation received from any such consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee or the Board in the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent shall be
paid by the Company. The Committee, its members and any person designated or granted authority pursuant to sub-section (a) above shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with
respect to the Plan. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no officer or employee of the Company or its Affiliates or member or former member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination made in good
faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under it. 
 ARTICLE IV

acquired for the treasury of the Company or both. The Share Reserve is comprised of (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2) 

  
 9 








 
(i) the “Emergence Pool” consisting of 5,843,773 shares and (ii) the “Additional Pool” consisting of 1,537,836 shares. The maximum number of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan shall be equal to the Share Reserve. If any Option or Other Stock-Based Award granted under the Plan expires, terminates or is canceled for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any unexercised Award shall again be available for the purpose of Awards under the Plan. If any shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other
Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock awarded under the Plan to a Participant are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares
of Common Stock shall again be available for purposes of Awards under the Plan. Any Award under the Plan settled in cash shall not be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations. Shares withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the
applicable exercise price or withholding taxes upon the issuance, vesting or settlement of Awards, in each case, shall not be available for future issuance under the Plan. The aggregate grant date fair value of all Awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any calendar year (excluding Awards made pursuant to deferred compensation arrangements made in lieu of all or a portion of cash retainers and any dividends payable in respect of
outstanding Awards) shall not exceed $750,000. 
 (b) Individual Participant Limitations. To the extent required by
Section 162(m) of the Code for Awards under the Plan to qualify as “performance-based compensation,” the following individual Participant limitations shall apply (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2): 

(i) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in respect of Performance Awards denominated in shares granted to any
individual Participant for a single fiscal year during a Performance Period (or with respect to each single fiscal year in the event a Performance Period extends beyond a single fiscal year) shall be the number of shares that have an aggregate grant
date fair value of $10,000,000 (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that such number of shares shall not exceed the remaining number of shares of Common Stock in the Share Reserve as of the grant date), or in the event such
share-denominated Performance Award is paid in cash, other securities, other Awards or other property, no more than the Fair Market Value of such shares on the last day of the Performance Period to which such Award relates; and 

(ii) The maximum amount that can be paid to any individual Participant for a fiscal year during a Performance Period (or with respect to each
single fiscal year in the event a Performance Period extends beyond a single fiscal year) pursuant to a Performance Award denominated in cash shall be $20,000,000. 

(c) Substitute Awards. Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in
substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the Share
Reserve; provided that Substitute Awards issued in connection with the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding Options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be counted against the aggregate number of shares available for
Incentive Stock Options awarded 

  
 10 








 
under the Plan. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, available shares under a stockholder-approved plan of an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the
Company combines (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the acquisition or combination transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. 

4.2 Changes. 

(a) The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders
of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate,
(iii) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or part of the
assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of
Section 10.1: 
 (i) If the Company at any time subdivides (by any split, recapitalization or otherwise) the outstanding Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or combines (by reverse split, combination or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the respective exercise prices for outstanding Awards that
provide for a Participant elected exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards, the aggregate number or kind of securities that thereafter may be issued under the Plan and the other limits contained in
Section 4.1, in each case, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. 

(ii) Excepting transactions covered by Section 4.2(b)(i), if the Company effects any merger, consolidation, statutory exchange, spin-off, reorganization, sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s assets or business, or other corporate transaction or event in such a manner that the Company’s outstanding shares of
Common Stock are converted into the right to receive (or the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive in exchange therefor), either immediately or upon liquidation of the Company, securities or other property of the Company or other entity

covered by Section 4.2(b)(i) or 4.2(b)(ii), including by reason of any extraordinary dividend (whether cash or equity), any conversion, any adjustment, any issuance of any class of securities convertible or exercisable into, or exercisable for,
any class of equity securities of the Company that affects the shares of Common Stock, then the Committee shall adjust any Award and make such other equitable or proportional adjustments to the Plan to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights
granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. 
 (iv) Any such adjustment determined by the Committee pursuant to this
Section 4.2(b) shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Persons including all employees and Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. Any adjustment to, or assumption or
substitution of, an Award under this Section 4.2(b) shall be intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto),
to the extent applicable. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.2 or in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no additional rights under the Plan by reason of any transaction or event described in this
Section 4.2. 
 (v) Fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or this
Section 4.2(b) shall be aggregated until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise or payment by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and rounding-up for
fractions equal to or greater than one-half. No cash settlements shall be required with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each
Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan. 

4.3 Minimum Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously
unissued shares of Common Stock are issued under the Plan, such shares shall not be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law. 

ARTICLE V

 ARTICLE VI 

STOCK OPTIONS 
 6.1
Options. Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be of one of two types: (a) an Incentive Stock Option or (b) a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 6.2 Grants. The Committee shall have the authority to
grant to any Eligible Employee one or more Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options, in each case, pursuant to an Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the
authority to grant any Consultant or Non-Employee Director one or more Non-Qualified Stock Options. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Stock Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified
Stock Option. If required by the Award Agreement, an Eligible Individual selected to receive Stock Options shall not have any right with respect to such Award, unless and until such Eligible Individual has delivered a fully executed copy of the
Award Agreement evidencing the Award to the Company, to the extent required by the Committee, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. 

6.3 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of the Plan relating to
Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the
Participants affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422. 
 6.4 Terms of Options.
Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable,
including those set forth in an Award Agreement: 
 (a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a
Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, provided that (i) the per share exercise price of a Stock Option shall not be less than 100% (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent
Stockholder, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and (ii) with respect to any Stock Options granted hereunder from the Emergence Pool, the per share exercise price for such Stock Options shall be the higher
of (A) the Emergence Share Price and (B) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. 
 (b) Stock Option
Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted; and provided further that the term of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not exceed five years. 

  
 13 








 (c) Exercisability. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time
or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without
limitation, that such Stock Option is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part (including, without
limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Stock Option may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. 

(d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under Section 6.4(c), to the
extent vested, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company (or to its agent specifically designated for such purpose) specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased (which notice may be provided in an electronic form to the extent acceptable to the Committee and the Company). Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price as follows, as determined by the
Committee in the Award Agreement or otherwise: (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Common Stock is traded on a national
securities exchange, and the Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate value equal to the purchase price; (iii) by having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option; or (iv) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee
(including, without limitation, with the consent of the Committee, by payment in full or in part in the form of Common Stock owned by the Participant, based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date as determined by the
Committee). No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any Federal, state, local and non-U.S. income, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld or otherwise made arrangements for the satisfaction of such taxes in a manner permitted under the terms of the Plan or any Award
Agreement. 
 (e) Non-Transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be Transferable by
the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine,
in its sole discretion, at the time of grant or thereafter that a Non-Qualified Stock Option that is otherwise not Transferable pursuant to this Section is Transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part
and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Committee. A Non-Qualified Stock Option that is Transferred to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be
subsequently Transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) remains subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement; and (iii) may be exercised by such Family Member. Any shares of
Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or a permissible transferee pursuant
to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

  
 14 








 (f) Termination by Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in
the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, if a Participant’s Termination is by reason of death or Disability, all Stock Options that are held by such Participant
that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or in the case of the Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s estate) at any time within a
period of one (1) year from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options. 

(g) Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise
in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, if a Participant’s Termination is by involuntary termination by a Company Entity without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), all Stock Options that are held
by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond
the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options. 
 (h) Voluntary Resignation. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee
in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, if a Participant’s Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in Section 6.4(i)(y)
hereof), all Stock Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options. 
 (i) Termination for Cause.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, if a Participant’s Termination (x) is by a Company Entity for Cause or
(y) is a voluntary Termination (as provided in Section 6.4(h)) after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination by a Company Entity for Cause, all Stock Options, whether vested or not vested, that are held by such
Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 
 (j) Unvested Stock Options. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, Stock Options that are not vested or exercisable as of the date of a Participant’s
Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 
 (k) Incentive Stock Option Limitations.
To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under the
Plan and/or any other stock option plan of any Company Entity exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. In addition, if an Eligible Employee does not remain employed by a
Company Entity at all times from the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted until three months prior to the date of exercise thereof (or such 

  
 15 








 
other period as required by applicable law), such Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Should any provision of the Plan not be
necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may amend the Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders of the
Company. 
 (l) Form, Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the
limitations of the Plan, including those set forth in the following sentence, Stock Options shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may (i) modify, extend or renew outstanding
Stock Options granted under the Plan and (ii) accept the surrender of outstanding Stock Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Stock Options or other Awards in substitution therefor (to the extent
not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company in accordance with Section 4.2 (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary
cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), an outstanding Stock Option may not be
modified to reduce the exercise price thereof nor may a new Stock Option at a lower price be substituted for a surrendered Stock Option, unless such action is approved by the stockholders of the Company. 

(m) Early Exercise. The Committee may provide that a Stock Option include a provision whereby the Participant may elect at any time
before the Participant’s Termination to exercise the Stock Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option prior to the full vesting of the Stock Option, and such shares shall be subject to the provisions
of Article VII and be treated as Restricted Stock, which will remain subject to the original vesting schedule applicable to the predecessor Stock Option. Unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of
the Company or to any other restriction the Committee determines to be appropriate. 
 (n) Other Terms and Conditions. The Committee
may include a provision in an Award Agreement providing for the automatic exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of such Option if the Participant has failed
to exercise the Non-Qualified Stock Option as of such date, with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Non-Qualified Stock
Option exceeds the exercise price of such Non-Qualified Stock Option on the date of expiration of such Option, subject to Section 13.4. Stock Options may contain such other provisions, which shall not be
inconsistent with any of the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The recipient of a Stock Option under this Article VI shall not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents in
respect of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option. The Company will evidence each Participant’s ownership of Common Stock issued upon exercise of a Stock Option pursuant to a designated system, such as book entries by
the transfer agent; if a stock certificate for such shares of Common Stock is issued, it will be substantially in the form set forth in Section 7.2(c). 

  
 16 








 ARTICLE VII 

RESTRICTED STOCK 

7.1 Awards of Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards
granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Eligible Individuals, to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock shall be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Participant
(subject to Section 7.2), the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards. 

The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance targets (including, one or
more Performance Goals) or such other factor(s) as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, including to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. 

7.2 Awards and Certificates. If required by the Award Agreement, Eligible Individuals selected to receive Restricted
Stock shall not have any right with respect to such Award, unless and until such Participant has delivered a fully executed copy of the Award Agreement evidencing the Award to the Company, to the extent required by the Committee, and has otherwise
complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. Further, such Award shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (a)
Purchase Price. The purchase price of Restricted Stock shall be fixed by the Committee. Subject to Section 4.3, the purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law, and, to the extent
not so permitted, such purchase price may not be less than par value. 
 (b) Acceptance. Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted
within a period of 60 days (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) after the grant date, by executing a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has designated thereunder. 

(c) Legend. The Company will evidence each Participant’s ownership of Restricted Stock pursuant to a designated system, such as
book entries by the transfer agent. If a stock certificate for such shares of Restricted Stock is issued, such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and shall, in addition to such legends required by applicable securities
laws, bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form: 

“The anticipation, alienation, attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge of the shares of stock represented
hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Avaya Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as it may be amended, the “Plan”) and an Agreement entered into between
the registered owner and the Company dated __________. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company.” 

  
 17 








 (d) Custody. If stock certificates are issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock,
the Committee may require that any stock certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have
delivered a duly signed stock power or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the
Company of all or a portion of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event that such Award is forfeited in whole or part or otherwise transferred to the Company. 

7.3 Restrictions and Conditions. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the
following restrictions and conditions and such other terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion: 

(a) Restriction Period. The Participant shall not be permitted to Transfer shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan during the
period or periods set by the Committee (the “Restriction Period”) commencing on the date of such Award, as set forth in the Award Agreement and such agreement shall set forth a vesting schedule and any event that would accelerate
vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock. Within these limits, based on service, attainment of one or more Performance Goals pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(ii) and/or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole
discretion, the Committee may condition the grant or provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments in whole or in part, or may accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Restricted Stock Award and/or waive the deferral limitations
for all or any part of any Restricted Stock Award. 
 (b) Rights as a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 7.3(a) and this
Section 7.3(b) or as otherwise determined by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company, including,
without limitation, the right to receive dividends (the payment of which may be deferred (without interest) until, and conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period, as determined in the Committee’s sole discretion), the
right to vote such shares and, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of shares of Restricted Stock, the right to tender such shares. 

(c) Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise in accordance with the
terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason during the relevant Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction will be forfeited for no consideration. 

(d) Lapse of Restrictions. If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the shares of Restricted Stock,
such earned shares (and to the extent ownership of such shares is evidenced by stock certificates, the stock certificates for such shares) shall be delivered to the Participant. All legends shall be removed from said certificates at the time of
delivery to the Participant, except as otherwise required by applicable law or other limitations imposed by the Committee. 

  
 18 








 ARTICLE VIII 

PERFORMANCE AWARDS 

8.1 Performance Awards. The Committee may designate an Award (including any Restricted Stock and any Other Stock-Based
Award) at grant as a Performance Award payable upon the attainment of specific Performance Goals. The Committee may grant Performance Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the
Code, as well as Performance Awards that are not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Performance Award is payable in shares of Restricted Stock, such shares shall be
transferable to the Participant only upon attainment of the relevant Performance Goal in accordance with Article VII. If the Performance Award is denominated in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant Performance Goals either in
cash, shares of Common Stock, restricted stock units and/or in shares of Restricted Stock (based on the then current Fair Market Value of such shares), as determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Performance Award shall
be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form that is not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee may from time to time approve. With respect to Performance Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall condition the right to payment of any Performance Award upon the attainment of objective Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 8.2(c). If required by the
Award Agreement, an Eligible Individual selected to receive Performance Awards shall not have any right with respect to such Award, unless and until such Eligible Individual has delivered a fully executed copy of the Award Agreement evidencing the
Award to the Company, to the extent required by the Committee, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. 

8.2 Terms and Conditions. Performance Awards awarded pursuant to this Article VIII shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion: 
 (a) Earning of
Performance Award. At the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 8.2(c) are achieved and the percentage of each Performance
Award that has been earned and certify such results in writing. 
 (b) Non-Transferability.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, Performance Awards may not be Transferred during the Performance Period. 

(c) Objective Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards. With respect to Performance Awards that are intended to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall establish the objective Performance Goals for the earning of Performance Awards based on a Performance Period applicable to each Participant or
class of Participants in writing prior to the beginning of the applicable Performance Period or at 

  
 19 








 
such later date as permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code and while the outcome of the Performance Goals are substantially uncertain. Such Performance Goals may incorporate, if and only
to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type
events or circumstances. To the extent that any such provision would create impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall be of no force or effect, with
respect to Performance Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 

(d) Payment. Following the Committee’s determination in accordance with Section 8.2(a), the Company shall settle Performance
Awards, in such form (including, without limitation, in shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock, restricted stock units and/or in cash) as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to such Participant’s earned Performance Awards.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, award an amount less than the earned Performance Awards and/or subject the payment of all or part of any Performance Award to additional vesting, forfeiture and deferral
conditions as it deems appropriate. 
 (e) Termination. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan,
upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason during the Performance Period for a given Performance Award, the Performance Award in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at
grant. 
 ARTICLE IX 

OTHER STOCK-BASED AND CASH-BASED AWARDS 

9.1 Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to Eligible Individuals Other Stock-Based Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to, shares of Common Stock awarded purely as
a bonus and not subject to restrictions or conditions, shares of Common Stock in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, stock equivalent units, SARs, restricted stock
units, and Awards valued by reference to book value of shares of Common Stock. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. 

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine the Eligible Individuals, to whom, and the time or
times at which, such Awards shall be made, the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions of the Awards. If required by the Award Agreement, an Eligible Individual selected to receive Other
Stock-Based Awards shall not have any right with respect to such Award, unless and until such Eligible Individual has delivered a fully executed copy of the Award Agreement evidencing the Award to the Company, to the extent required by the
Committee, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. 

  
 20 








 9.2 Terms and Conditions. Other Stock-Based Awards made pursuant to this
Article IX shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion: 

(a) Non-Transferability. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the
Plan, shares of Common Stock subject to Awards made under this Article IX may not be Transferred prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period lapses.

 (b) Vesting. Any Award under this Article IX and any Common Stock covered by any such Award shall vest or be forfeited to the
extent so provided in the Award Agreement, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 
 (c) Price. Subject to
Section 4.3, Common Stock issued on a bonus basis under this Article IX may be issued for no cash consideration. Subject to Section 4.3, Common Stock purchased pursuant to a purchase right awarded under this Article IX shall be priced, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 9.3 Other Cash-Based Awards. The Committee may from time to time
grant Other Cash-Based Awards to Eligible Individuals in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, as it shall determine in
its sole discretion. Other Cash-Based Awards may be granted subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions or may be awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to restrictions or conditions, and if subject to vesting conditions, the Committee may
accelerate the vesting of such Awards at any time in its sole discretion. The grant of an Other Cash-Based Award shall not require a segregation of any of the Company’s assets for satisfaction of the Company’s payment obligation
thereunder. 
 ARTICLE X 

CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS 

10.1 Benefits. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), and except as otherwise provided by
the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise, 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: 

(a) Awards, whether or not then vested, shall be continued, assumed, or have new rights substituted therefor, as determined by the Committee
in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and restrictions to which shares of Restricted Stock or any other Award granted prior to the Change in Control are subject shall not lapse upon a Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, any assumed or substituted Stock Option shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1
(and any amendment thereto); 
 (b) The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, Awards or provide for a
period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event; 

  
 21 








 (c) 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 of
Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Stock Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market
Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option or SAR over the aggregate exercise price of such Stock Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in such event, any Stock Option
or SAR having a per share exercise price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor); 

(d) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding and unexercised Stock Options or any Other Stock-Based Award that
provides for a Participant elected exercise, effective as of the date of the Change in Control, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of consummation of the Change in Control, in
which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Change in Control, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of such Participant’s Awards that are
then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award Agreements), but any such exercise shall be 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 for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void. 

(e) 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. Any escrow, holdback, earnout or similar provisions in the definitive agreement(s) relating to such transaction may apply to any payment to the holders of Awards to the same extent and in the same manner as
such provisions apply to the holders of shares of Common Stock.
 10.2 Change in Control. A “Change in
Control” shall be deemed to occur if: 
 (a) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act (other than the Company or any of the Company Entities, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of the Company Entities, or any other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the
stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Common Stock of the Company), becoming the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; 

  
 22 








 (b) during any period of 12 consecutive calendar months, individuals who were directors of the
Company on the first day of such period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the
first day of such period whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors will be considered as though
such individual were an Incumbent Director, but excluding, for purposes of this proviso, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened proxy contest with respect to election or removal of
directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a “person” (as used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), in each case, other than the Board, which individual, for the avoidance of
doubt, shall not be deemed to be an Incumbent Director for purposes of this Section 10.2(b), regardless of whether such individual was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent
Directors; 
 (c) consummation of a reorganization (excluding a reorganization under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
United States Code), merger, consolidation or other similar business combination (any of the foregoing, a “Business Combination”) of the Company with any other corporation, in any case with respect to which the Company voting
securities outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination do not, immediately following such Business Combination, continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the Company or any
ultimate parent thereof) more than 50% of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (or its successor) or any ultimate parent thereof after the Business Combination; or

OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in
whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred to in Article XIII or Section 409A of the Code), or suspend or
terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise, and the Committee may amend the Plan to the extent such amendment is (a) ministerial or administrative in nature and does not result in a material change to the cost of the Plan or
(b) required by law; provided, that (i) no such amendment, suspension or termination by the Board or the Committee will occur without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement
applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock may


  
 23 








 
be listed or quoted or to prevent the Company from being denied a tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code) and (ii) unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided
herein, the rights of a Participant, with respect to all Awards granted prior to any amendment (whether by the Board or the Committee), suspension or termination, may not be impaired in any way without the express written consent of such
Participant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or any Award Agreement at any time without a Participant’s consent only to comply with applicable law, including Section 409A of the Code. The
Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Article IV or as otherwise specifically provided herein no such amendment or other action by the Committee shall impair in any way the

arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

13.3 No Right to Employment/Directorship/Consultancy. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Option or other Award
hereunder shall give any Participant or other employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director any right with respect to continuance of employment, consultancy or directorship by the Company or any Affiliate, nor
shall the Plan nor the grant of any Option or other Award hereunder limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate by which an employee is employed or a Consultant or Non-Employee Director is
retained to terminate such employment, consultancy or directorship at any time.

to the amount required to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) up to the maximum extent permitted by the accounting rules applicable to the
Company as then in effect without adverse accounting treatment, unless the Participant elects to pay such obligations in cash.

no such suspension shall extend the term of any Award.

representations and information that the Company requests and otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, exemption, consent or approval the Company deems necessary or appropriate.

 EXHIBIT A 

PERFORMANCE GOALS 
 To the extent
permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, performance goals established for purposes of Awards intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, shall be based on the attainment of certain target
levels of, or a specified increase or decrease (as applicable) in one or more of the following: 
  

	 	•	 	Non-GAAP performance measures included in any of the Company’s SEC filings; 

  

	 	•	 	Net interest income, total other income, total costs and expenses, income before taxes, net income, revenue and/or earnings per share; 


 

	 	•	 	Debt or other similar financial obligations of the Company, which may be calculated net of cash balances and/or other offsets and adjustments as may be established by the Committee in its sole discretion;


  

	 	•	 	Net cash provided in (used by) operating activities, investing activities, and/or financing activities; 

  

	 	•	 	Market share; 

  

	 	•	 	Generation performance, customer churn, ending customer count, customer satisfaction, average days sales outstanding, energizing events issues/success, customer complaints/success, systems availability and downtime,
contribution margin, and safety and environmental improvements; 

  

	 	•	 	Operating margin, return on equity, return on assets, and/or return on invested capital; or 

  

	 	•	 	Total shareholder return, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, or the growth in value of an investment in the Common Stock assuming the reinvestment of dividends. 


With respect to Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, to
the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, also exclude, or adjust to reflect, the impact of an event or occurrence that the Committee determines should be appropriately excluded or
adjusted, including: 
 (a) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items or events, and other unusual or non-recurring charges as described in Accounting Standards Codification 225-20, “Extraordinary and Unusual Items,” and/or management’s discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations appearing or incorporated by reference in the Company’s Form 10-K for the applicable year; 

(b) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the Company’s
management; 
 (c) a change in tax law or accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting principles; or 

(d) a decision to accelerate or defer capital expenditures or expenses contrary to the timing reflected in the Company’s annual financial
plan. 







 Performance goals may also be based upon objectively determinable individual participant
performance goals, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. In addition, Awards that are not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code may be based on the performance goals
set forth herein or on such other performance goals as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or without regard to any performance goals. 

In addition, such performance goals may be based upon the attainment of specified levels of Company (or subsidiary, division, other
operational unit, administrative department or product category of the Company) performance under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of one or more other companies or one or more groups of companies (e.g., an
index). With respect to Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, but only to the extent permitted under
Section 162(m) of the Code (including, without limitation, compliance with any requirements for stockholder approval), the Committee may also: 

(a) designate additional business criteria on which the performance goals may be based; or 

(b) adjust, modify or amend the aforementioned business criteria.
