LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

1. Purpose. The purpose of this Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Newmark Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing a means to attract, retain, motivate and reward present and prospective directors, officers, employees and consultants of and
service providers to the Company and its affiliates and to enable such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company, thereby promoting a closer identity of interests between such persons and the Company’s
stockholders.

SARs), Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Stock granted as a bonus or in lieu of other awards, Dividend Equivalents and Other Stock-Based Awards, are as set forth in Section 6 of the Plan. Such awards, together with any other right or interest

(a) “Award Agreement” means any written agreement, contract, notice or other instrument or document
evidencing an Award. 
 (b) “Beneficiaries” means the person, persons, trust or trusts which
have been designated by a Participant in his or her most recent written beneficiary designation filed with the Committee to receive the benefits specified under the Plan upon such Participant’s death or, if there is no designated Beneficiary or
surviving designated Beneficiary, then the person, persons, trust or trusts entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive such benefits. 

(c) “BGC” means BGC Partners, Inc. (or any successor thereto (other than the Company)).

Exchange Act), excluding the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary or any employee benefit plan sponsored by any of the foregoing, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of shares of common stock of the
Company representing 30% of either (x) the total number of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, or (y) the total voting power with respect to the election of directors; or

was approved by a vote 







 
of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than any individual whose nomination for election to Board membership was not endorsed by the Company’s
management prior to, or at the time of, such individual’s initial nomination for election) shall be, for purposes of this clause (ii), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; 

(iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, a reverse stock split of outstanding voting securities, or the issuance of shares of stock of the Company in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another entity; provided, however,
that a Change in Control shall not occur under this clause (iii) if consummation of the transaction would result in at least 70% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company (or, if not the Company, the entity
that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Company’s business) outstanding immediately after such transaction being beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act) by at least 75% of the
holders of outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the transaction, with the voting power of each such continuing holder relative to other such continuing holders not substantially altered in the transaction; or

Seventh Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan or any successor plan thereto) of BGC occurs. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, neither
the completion of the Company’s separation from BGC, initial public offering, or any spin-off of the Company from BGC (nor any of the transactions that may occur in furtherance of either such event) shall constitute a Change in Control.

such Stock on a given date shall be based upon the closing market price or, if unavailable, the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share of the Stock at the end of regular trading on such date (or, if there was no trading or quotation
in the Stock on such date, on the next preceding date on which there was trading or quotation) as provided by one of such organizations.

Section 5 hereof, has been granted an Award under the Plan. 
 (m) “Rule 16b-3” means

3. Administration. 

(a) Authority of the Committee. Except as otherwise provided below, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall have full and final authority to take the following actions, in each case subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan: 

(i) to select persons to whom Awards may be granted; 

(ii) to determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each such person; 

(iii) to determine the number of Awards to be granted, the number of shares of Stock to which an Award will relate, the terms
and conditions of any Award granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, any exercise price, grant price or purchase price, any restriction or condition, any schedule for lapse of restrictions or conditions relating to transferability or
forfeiture, exercisability or settlement of an Award, and waivers or accelerations thereof, performance conditions relating to an Award (including, without limitation, performance conditions relating to Awards not intended to be governed by
Section 7(e) and waivers and modifications thereof), based in each case on such considerations as the Committee shall determine), and all other matters to be determined in connection with an Award; 

  
 -3- 








 (iv) to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances an Award
may be settled, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid, in cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; 

(v) to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances cash, Stock, other Awards or other property payable with
respect to an Award will be deferred either automatically or at the election of the Committee or at the election of the Participant; 

(vi) to determine the restrictions, if any, to which Stock received upon exercise or settlement of an Award shall be subject
(including, without limitation, lock-ups and other transfer restrictions), including, without limitation, conditioning the delivery of such Stock upon the execution by the Participant of any agreement providing for such restrictions; 

(vii) to prescribe the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Participant; 

(viii) to adopt, amend, suspend, waive and rescind such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee may deem
necessary or advisable to administer the Plan; 
 (ix) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan and to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award, rules and regulations, Award Agreement or other instrument hereunder; and 

(x) to make all other decisions and determinations as may be required under the terms of the Plan or as the Committee may deem
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. 
 Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, the Board shall perform the
functions of the Committee for purposes of granting awards to directors who serve on the Committee, and, to the extent permitted under applicable law and regulation, the Board may perform any function of the Committee under the Plan for any other
purpose, including without limitation for the purpose of ensuring that transactions under the Plan by Participants who are then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company are exempt under Rule 16b-3. In any case in
which the Board is performing a function of the Committee under the Plan, each reference to the Committee herein shall be deemed to refer to the Board, except where the context otherwise requires. 

(b) Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. Any action of the Committee with respect to the Plan shall be taken in its sole
discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries, Participants, any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant and stockholders, except to the
extent the Committee may subsequently modify, or take further action not consistent with, its prior action. If not specified in the Plan, the time at which the Committee must or may make any determination shall be determined by the Committee, and
any such  

  
 -4- 








 
determination may thereafter be modified by the Committee (subject to Section 8(e)). The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee,
shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. Except as provided under Section 7(e), the Committee may delegate to officers or managers of the Company the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall
determine, to perform such functions as the Committee may determine, to the extent permitted under applicable law and regulation. 

(c) Limitation of Liability; Indemnification. Each member of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company acting on
behalf of the Committee shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or other employee of the Company, its Parent or Subsidiaries, the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm or any legal counsel or other professional retained by the Company or the Committee to assist in the administration of the Plan. No member of the Committee, or any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf
of the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company acting on its behalf
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. 

4. Stock Subject to Plan. 

(a) Amount of Stock Reserved. The aggregate number of shares of Stock delivered pursuant to the exercise or settlement of Awards
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 400 million shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), all of which may be shares of Stock subject to ISOs. If an Award valued by reference to Stock is settled in cash, the number of
shares to which such Award relates shall be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of this Section 4(a). Any shares of Stock delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares
or shares acquired in the market on a Participant’s behalf. 
 (b) Annual Per-Participant Limitations. During any
calendar year, no Participant may be granted Awards, including Options and SARS, that may be settled by delivery of more than 15 million shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c). In addition, with respect to
Awards that may be settled solely in cash, no Participant may be paid during any calendar year cash amounts relating to such Awards that exceed the greater of the Fair Market Value of the number of shares of Stock set forth in the preceding sentence
at the date of grant or the date of settlement of Award. This provision sets forth two separate limitations, so that Awards that may be settled solely by delivery of Stock will not operate to reduce the amount of cash-only Awards, and vice versa;
nevertheless, Awards that may be settled in Stock or cash must not exceed either limitation. 
 (c) Adjustments. In the
event that the Committee shall determine that any recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Stock or other securities, Stock dividend or other special, large
and non-recurring dividend or distribution (whether in the form of cash, securities or other property), liquidation, dissolution, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects  

  
 -5- 








 
the Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem
equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock reserved and available for Awards under Section 4(a), including shares reserved for ISOs, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock specified in the annual
per-Participant limitations under Section 4(b), (iii) the number and kind of shares of outstanding Restricted Stock or other outstanding Awards in connection with which shares have been issued, (iv) the number and kind of shares that
may be issued in respect of other outstanding Awards and (v) the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any Award (or, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may make provision for a cash payment, including, without limitation,
payment based upon the Award’s intrinsic (i.e., in-the-money) value, if any, with respect to any outstanding Award). In addition, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in,
Awards (including, without limitation, cancellation of unexercised or outstanding Awards, with or without the payment of any consideration (which may, if paid, include cash, stock or other property) therefor, substitution of Awards using stock of a
successor or other entity) in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events (including, without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence and events constituting a Change in Control) affecting the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary
or the financial statements of the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable law, regulation, or accounting principles. 

(d) Repricing. As to any Award granted as an Option or an SAR, the Committee may not, without prior stockholder approval to the
extent required under applicable law, regulation or exchange rule, subsequently reduce the exercise or grant price relating to such Award, or take such other action as may be considered a repricing of such Award under generally accepted accounting
principles. 
 5. Eligibility. Directors, officers and employees of the Company or its Parent or any Subsidiary, and
persons who provide consulting or other services to the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary deemed by the Committee to be of substantial value to the Company or its Parent or Subsidiaries, are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan. In
addition, persons who have been offered employment by, or agreed to become a director of, or agreed to provide consulting or other services to, the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary, and persons employed by or providing services to an entity
that the Committee reasonably expects to become a Subsidiary of the Company, are eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan. 

6. Specific Terms of Awards. 

(a) General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. In addition, the Committee may
impose on any Award or the exercise or settlement thereof such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, terms and conditions requiring
forfeiture of Awards or of the cash, Stock, other Awards or other property received by the Participant in payment or settlement of Awards, in the event of termination of employment or service of the Participant, or in the case of the
Participant’s violation of Company policies, restrictions or other requirements. 

  
 -6- 








 Except as expressly provided by the Committee (including for purposes of complying with the
requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to lawful consideration for the issuance of shares), no consideration other than services shall be required as consideration for the grant (but not the exercise or settlement) of any
Award. 
 (b) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant options to purchase Stock (including “reload” options
automatically granted to offset specified exercises of Options) on the following terms and conditions (“Options”): 

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price of one share of Stock purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the
Committee; provided, however, that the price of one share of Stock which may be purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of grant of such Option. 

(ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in
whole or in part, the methods by which such exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid, the form of such payment, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards or other property (including notes or other contractual obligations of
Participants to make payment on a deferred basis, such as through “cashless exercise” arrangements, to the extent permitted under applicable law and regulation), and the methods by which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to
Participants. 
 (iii) Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall determine the period, if any, during
which Options shall be exercisable following a Participant’s termination of his or her employment or service relationship with the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, (A) during any period
that an Option is exercisable following termination of employment or service, it shall be exercisable only to the extent it was exercisable upon such termination of employment or service, and (B) if such termination of employment or service is
for cause, as determined by the Committee unless the Participant’s employment or service agreement otherwise defines cause (in which case, cause shall be determined in accordance with such agreement), all Options held by the Participant shall
immediately terminate. 
 (iv) Sale of the Company. Upon the consummation of any transaction whereby the Company (or
any successor to the Company or substantially all of its business) becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of any corporation, all Options outstanding under the Plan shall terminate (after taking into account any accelerated vesting pursuant to
Section 7(f)), with or without the payment of any consideration therefor, including, without limitation, payment of the intrinsic (i.e., in-the-money) value, if any, of such Options, as determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 4(c),
unless such other corporation shall continue or assume the Plan as it relates to Options then outstanding (in which case, such other corporation shall be treated as the Company for all purposes hereunder, and, pursuant to Section 4(c), the
Committee shall make appropriate adjustment in the 

  
 -7- 








 
number and kind of shares of Stock subject thereto and the exercise price per share thereof to reflect consummation of such transaction). If the Plan is not to be so assumed, the Company shall
notify the Participant of consummation of such transaction at least ten days in advance thereof. 
 (v) Options Providing
Favorable Tax Treatment. The Committee may grant Options that may afford a Participant with favorable treatment under the tax laws applicable to such Participant, including, without limitation, ISOs. If Stock acquired by exercise of an ISO is
sold or otherwise disposed of within two years after the date of grant of the ISO or within one year after the transfer of such Stock to the Participant, the holder of the Stock immediately prior to the disposition shall promptly notify the Company
in writing of the date and terms of the disposition and shall provide such other information regarding the disposition as the Company may reasonably require in order to secure any deduction then available against the Company’s or any other
corporation’s taxable income. The Company may impose such procedures as it determines necessary or advisable to ensure that such notification is made. Each Option granted as an ISO shall be designated as such in the Award Agreement relating to
such Option. 
 (c) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant stock appreciation rights on the following
terms and conditions (“SARs”): 
 (i) Right to Payment. An SAR shall confer on the Participant
to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine in the case of any such right other than one related
to an ISO, the Fair Market Value of one share at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise), over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined by the Committee as of the date of grant of the SAR, which shall be not
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of grant. 
 (ii) Other Terms. The Committee
shall determine the time or times at which an SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to
Participants, whether or not an SAR shall be in tandem with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. “Limited SARs” that may only be exercised upon the occurrence of a Change in Control may be granted on such terms,
not inconsistent with this Section 6(c), as the Committee may determine. Limited SARs may be either freestanding or in tandem with other Awards. 

  
 -8- 








 (d) Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock that is subject to
restrictions based on continued employment or service on the following terms and conditions (“Restricted Stock”): 

(i) Grant and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. Except to the extent restricted
under the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock, a Participant granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Stock or the
right to receive dividends thereon. 
 (ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon
termination of employment or service (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited and reacquired by the
Company; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or
in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes. 
 (iii) Certificates for Stock. Restricted Stock
granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates may bear an appropriate legend referring to the
terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may retain physical possession of the certificate, in which case the Participant shall be required to have delivered a stock power to the Company, endorsed in
blank, relating to the Restricted Stock. 
 (iv) Dividends. Dividends paid on Restricted Stock shall be either paid at
the dividend payment date in cash or in shares of unrestricted Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or the payment of such dividends shall be deferred and/or the amount or value thereof automatically reinvested in
additional Restricted Stock, other Awards, or other investment vehicles, as the Committee shall determine or permit the Participant to elect. Stock distributed in connection with a Stock split or Stock dividend, and other property distributed as a
dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 

(e) Deferred Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant units representing the right to receive Stock at a future date subject
to the following terms and conditions (“Deferred Stock”): 

  
 -9- 








 (i) Award and Restrictions. Delivery of Stock shall occur upon expiration
of the deferral period specified for an Award of Deferred Stock by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). In addition, Deferred Stock shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, if
any, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier specified times, separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. 

(ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment or service (as
determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply (as provided in the Award Agreement evidencing the Deferred Stock), all Deferred Stock that is at
that time subject to such forfeiture conditions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture
conditions relating to Deferred Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes. 

(f) Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Cash Obligations. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock as a bonus, or to grant Stock
or other Awards in lieu of Company obligations to pay cash under other plans or compensatory arrangements. 
 (g) Dividend
Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant awards entitling the Participant to receive cash, Stock, other Awards or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock (“Dividend
Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with any other Award. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been
reinvested in additional Stock, Awards or other investment vehicles, and be subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. Dividend Equivalents may be paid, distributed or accrued in connection
with any Award, whether or not vested. 
 (h) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to
limitations under applicable law and regulation, to grant such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Stock and factors that may influence the value of
Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Stock, purchase rights for Stock, Awards with
value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries
(“Other Stock-Based Awards”). An award granted under the Newmark Holdings, L.P. Participation Plan that involves a limited partnership interest in Newmark Holdings, L.P. that is exchangeable for or otherwise represents a right to
acquire Stock in accordance with Section 4.5 of that plan shall also constitute an Other Stock-Based Award within the meaning of this Section 6(h). In addition, Awards granted to provide shares of Stock issuable upon the exchange of
exchangeable compensatory Newmark Holdings, L.P. founding partner interests shall constitute Other Stock-Based Awards within the meaning of this Section 6(h). The Committee shall determine the terms 


  
 -10- 








 
and conditions of Other Stock-Based Awards. Stock issued pursuant to such an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 6(h) shall be purchased for such
consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine. Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award
under the Plan, may be granted pursuant to this Section 6(h). 
 7. Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards. 

(a) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, as determined by the Committee, be
granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company, its Parent or Subsidiaries or any business entity to be acquired by the
Company or a Subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company, its Parent or Subsidiaries. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards, awards or rights may be granted either as of the same time as
or a different time from the grant of such other Awards, awards or rights. 
 (b) Term of Awards. The term of each Award
shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any ISO or SAR granted in tandem therewith exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant (or such shorter period as may
be applicable under Section 422 of the Code). 
 (c) Form of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan
and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company, its Parent or Subsidiaries upon the grant, exercise or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash,
Stock, other Awards or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis. Such payments may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on
installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in Stock. 

(d) Loans in Connection with an Award. The Company may not, in connection with any Award, extend, maintain, renew, guarantee or
arrange for credit in the form of a personal loan to any Participant who is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of the Exchange Act); provided, however, that, with the consent of the Committee, and subject at all times
to, and only to the extent, if any, permitted under applicable law and regulation and other binding obligations or provisions applicable to the Company, the Company may extend, maintain, renew, guarantee or arrange for credit in the form of a
personal loan to a Participant who is not such a director or executive officer in connection with any Award, including the payment by such Participant of any or all federal, state or local income or other taxes due in connection with any Award.
Subject to such limitations, the Committee shall have full authority to decide whether to make a loan hereunder and to determine the amount, terms and provisions of any such loan, including, without limitation, the interest rate to be charged in
respect of any such loan, whether the loan is to be with or without recourse against the borrower, the terms on which the loan is to be repaid and the conditions, if any, under which the loan may be forgiven. 

  
 -11- 








 (e) Performance-Based Awards. 

(i) Setting of Performance Objectives. The Committee may designate any Award, the grant, exercisability or
settlement of which is subject to the achievement of performance conditions, as a performance-based Award subject to this Section 7(e), in order to qualify such Award as “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code. The performance objectives for an Award subject to this Section 7(e) shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to such criteria, as specified by
the Committee but subject to this Section 7(e). Performance objectives shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. Business criteria used by the Committee in establishing performance
objectives for Awards subject to this Section 7(e) shall be based exclusively on one or more of the following corporate-wide or subsidiary, division or operating unit financial and strategic measures: 

(i) pre-tax or after-tax net income, 

(ii) pre-tax or after-tax operating income, 

(iii) gross revenue, 

(iv) profit margin, 

(v) stock price, dividends and/or total stockholder return, 

(vi) cash flow(s), 

(vii) market share, 

(viii) pre-tax or after-tax earnings per share, 

(ix) pre-tax or after-tax operating earnings per share, 

(x) expenses, 

(xi) return on equity, or 

(xii) strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue, market penetration,
or geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures, or any combination thereof (in each case before or after such objective income and expense allocations or adjustments as the Committee may
specify within the applicable period). 

  
 -12- 








 The levels of performance required with respect to such business criteria may be
expressed on an absolute and/or relative basis, may be based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on current internal targets, the past performance of the Company (including the performance of one or more subsidiaries, divisions and/or operating
units) and/or the past or current performance of other companies, and in the case of earnings-based measures, may use or employ comparisons relating to capital (including, without limitation, the cost of capital), stockholders’ equity and/or
shares outstanding, or to assets or net assets. Performance objectives may differ for such Awards to different Participants. The Committee shall specify the weighting to be given to each performance objective for purposes of determining the final
amount payable with respect to any such Award. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a payout otherwise to be made in connection with an Award subject to this Section 7(e), but may not exercise discretion to increase such
amount, and the Committee may consider other performance criteria in exercising such discretion. 
 The Committee may not
delegate any responsibility with respect to an Award subject to this Section 7(e). 
 (ii) Impact of
Extraordinary Items or Changes in Accounting. To the extent applicable, the measures used in setting performance objectives for any given performance period shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) in a manner consistent with the methods used in the Company’s audited financial statements, without regard to (i) extraordinary items as determined by the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm in accordance with GAAP, (ii) changes in accounting, unless, in each case, the Committee decides otherwise within the period described in Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.162-27(e)(2) (as may be amended from time to time) for a given performance period,
or (iii) non-recurring acquisition expenses and restructuring charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in calculating operating earnings or operating income (including on a per share basis), the Committee may, within the period described in
Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.162-27(e)(2) (as may be amended from time to time) for a given performance period, provide that such calculation shall be made on the same basis as reflected in a release of the Company’s earnings for a previously completed
period as specified by the Committee. 
 (f) Acceleration Upon a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, except as set forth in an Award Agreement, all conditions and/or restrictions relating to the continued performance of services and/or the achievement of performance objectives with respect to the exercisability or full
enjoyment of an Award shall accelerate or otherwise lapse immediately prior to a Change in Control. 
 8. General
Provisions. 
 (a) Issuance of Stock; Compliance with Laws and Obligations. The Company shall not be obligated to
issue or deliver Stock in connection with any Award or take any other action under the Plan in a transaction subject to the requirements of any applicable federal or state securities law, any requirement under any listing agreement between the
Company and any national securities exchange or any other law, regulation or contractual obligation of the  

  
 -13- 








 
Company until the Company is satisfied that such laws, requirements, regulations, and other obligations of the Company have been complied with in full. Certificates representing shares of Stock
issued under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as may be applicable under such laws, requirements, regulations and other obligations of the Company, including any requirement that a legend or legends be
placed thereon. 
 (b) Limitations on Transferability. Awards and other rights under the Plan shall not be transferable by a
Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death, shall not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, or otherwise subject to the claims of
creditors, and, in the case of ISOs and SARs in tandem therewith, shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by such Participant or his guardian or legal representative; provided, however, that such Awards and other rights (other
than ISOs and SARs in tandem therewith) may be transferred to one or more transferees during the lifetime of the Participant to the extent and on such terms and conditions as then may be permitted by the Committee. A Beneficiary, transferee, or
other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
and to any additional terms and conditions determined by the Committee, whether imposed at or subsequent to the grant or transfer of the Award. 

(c) No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any
employee, director or other person the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary to terminate any
employee’s employment or other person’s service at any time or with the right of the Board or stockholders to remove any director. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, (i) an approved leave of absence shall
not be considered a termination of employment or service for purposes of an Award, and (ii) any Participant who is employed by or performs services for a Parent or a Subsidiary shall be considered to have terminated employment or service for
purposes of an Award if such Parent or Subsidiary no longer qualifies as a Parent or Subsidiary, unless such Participant remains employed by the Company, a Parent, or a Subsidiary. 

(d) Taxes. The Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries are authorized to withhold from any delivery of Stock in connection with an
Award, any other payment relating to an Award or any payroll or other payment to a Participant amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as
the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall
include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax obligations. 

(e) Changes to the Plan and Awards. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or the
Committee’s authority to grant Awards under the Plan without the consent of stockholders or Participants, except that any such action shall be subject  

  
 -14- 








 
to the approval of the Company’s stockholders at or before the next annual meeting of stockholders for which the record date is after such Board action if such stockholder approval is
required by any federal or state law or regulation or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, and the Board may otherwise determine to submit other such changes to the Plan to stockholders for approval; provided, however, that, without the
consent of an affected Participant, no such action may materially impair the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted to him or her (as such rights are set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement). The Committee may waive any
conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such action may
materially impair the rights of such Participant under such Award (as such rights are set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or the Committee may take any action, including, without limitation,
actions affecting or terminating outstanding Awards if and to the extent permitted by the Plan or applicable Award Agreement. The Board or the Committee shall also have the authority to establish separate sub-plans under the Plan with respect to
Participants resident in a particular jurisdiction (the terms of which shall not be inconsistent with those of the Plan) if necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law or regulation of such jurisdiction. 

(f) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there
is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. No Award shall confer on any Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Stock is duly issued or transferred and delivered to the Participant in
accordance with the terms of the Award or, in the case of an Option, the Option is duly exercised. 
 (g) Unfunded Status of
Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan
or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the
Company’s obligations under the Plan to deliver cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property pursuant to any Award, which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee
otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant. 
 (h) Non-exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the
adoption of the Plan by the Board nor any submission of the Plan or amendments thereto to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other
compensatory arrangements as it may deem necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

 (i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award.
The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

 (j) Compliance with Law and Regulation. It is the intent of the Company that
employee Options, SARs and other Awards designated as Awards subject to Section 7(e) shall constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Accordingly, if any provision of
the Plan or any Award Agreement relating to an Award intended by the Company to be “qualified performance-based compensation” does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall
be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements, and no provision shall be deemed to confer upon the Committee or any other person discretion to increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable in
connection with any such Award upon attainment of the performance objectives. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that the Plan and all transactions under the Plan comply with
applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. In addition, it is the intent of the Company that ISOs comply with applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code, and that, to the extent applicable, Awards comply with the requirements of Sections 409A
and 280G of the Code or an exception from such requirements. The Committee may revoke any Award if it is contrary to law or regulation or modify an Award to bring it into compliance with any applicable law or regulation. 

(k) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any
Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and applicable federal law. 

(l) Plan Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board (the “Effective
Date”); provided that it has been approved or is thereafter approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules and listing standards of the applicable stock exchange. 

(m) Plan Termination. The Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by the Board.
