 AVEANNA HEALTHCARE HOLDINGS INC. 

2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 

This Aveanna Healthcare Holdings, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is
effective as of April 28, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders no later than twelve (12) months after the Effective Date. If stockholder approval is not obtained, then
this Plan and any grants made hereunder shall immediately terminate and be null and void. 

1.      Purpose and Structure of the Plan and its
Sub-Plans. 
 1.1    The purpose of this Plan is (a) to provide eligible
employees of the Company and Participating Companies who wish to become stockholders in the Company a convenient method of doing so, (b) to encourage employees to work in the best interests of stockholders of the Company, (c) to support
recruitment and retention of qualified employees, and (d) to provide employees an advantageous means of accumulating long-term investments. It is believed that employee participation in the ownership of the business will be to the mutual
benefit of both the employees and the Company. This Plan document is an omnibus document which includes a sub-plan (“Statutory Plan”) designed to permit offerings of grants to employees
of certain Subsidiaries that are Participating Companies where such offerings are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code (although the Company makes no undertaking nor representation to obtain or maintain qualification
under Section 423 for any Subsidiary, individual, offering or grant) and also separate sub-plans (“Non-Statutory Plans”) which permit
offerings of grants to employees of certain Participating Companies which are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. Section 6 hereof sets forth the maximum number of shares to be offered under the Plan (and
its sub-plans), subject to adjustments as permitted under Sections 19 and 20 hereof. 

1.2    The Statutory Plan shall be a separate and independent plan from the
Non-Statutory Plans, provided, however, that the total number of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan applies in the aggregate to both the Statutory Plan and the
Non-Statutory Plans. Offerings under the Non-Statutory Plans may be made to achieve desired tax or other objectives in particular locations outside the United States of
America or to comply with local laws applicable to offerings in such foreign jurisdictions. Offerings under the Non-Statutory Plans may also be made to employees of entities that are not Subsidiaries. 

1.3    All employees who participate in the Statutory Plan shall have the same rights and privileges under such sub-plan except for differences that may be mandated by local law and are consistent with the requirements of Code Section 423(b)(5). The terms of the Statutory Plan


  
 1 














  

 
shall be those set forth in this Plan document to the extent such terms are consistent with the requirements for qualification under Code Section 423. The Committee may adopt Non-Statutory Plans applicable to particular Participating Companies or locations that are not participating in the Statutory Plan. The terms of each Non-Statutory Plan may
take precedence over other provisions in this document, with the exception of Sections 6, 19 and 20 hereof with respect to the total number of shares available to be offered under the Plan for all sub-plans.
Unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such Non-Statutory Plan, the provisions of this Plan document shall govern the operation of such Non-Statutory Plan. Except
to the extent expressly set forth herein or where the context suggests otherwise, any reference herein to “Plan” shall be construed to include a reference to the Statutory Plan and the Non-Statutory
Plans.

securities; provided that the provisions of this subsection (a) are not intended to apply to or include as a Change in Control any transaction that is specifically excepted from the definition of Change in Control under clause

entity or the ultimate parent company thereof (within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code); provided, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement an internal recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in
which no “person” is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of either the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding voting securities or the
then-outstanding economic interests shall not be considered a Change in Control; or 
 (d)    a complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in which any “person”, other than a person or persons who beneficially

all of the assets of the Company as of immediately prior to such sale or disposition of the Company’s assets.

doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in
substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction. The Committee shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its sole discretion, to determine
conclusively whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto.

3.      Employees Eligible to Participate. Any employee of a Participating Company who is in the
employ of any Participating Company as of the first Offering Date is eligible to participate in this Plan as of such first Offering Date and on each Offering Date thereafter, so long as the employee continues to be employed with a Participating
Company through and on such applicable Offering Date and Purchase Date; provided, however, that with respect to any offering under this Plan, the Committee may determine to exclude from eligibility any employee of the Company that is
permitted to be excluded from eligibility under Code Section 423 provided that such determination is made prior to the Offering Date to which such exclusion(s) relate which include the following: (a) employees who have been employed less
than 2 years, (b) employees whose customary employment is 20 hours or less per week, (c) employees whose customary employment is not more than 5 months in any calendar year, and/or (d) highly compensated employees (within the meaning
of Section 414(q) of the Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing, employees of a Participating Company who are citizens or residents of a foreign jurisdiction (without regard to whether they are also citizens of the United States or resident
aliens (within the meaning of Section 7701(b)(1)(A) of the Code)) shall not be eligible to participate in the Statutory Plan if: (i) the grant of an option under the Plan to such employee is prohibited under the laws of such jurisdiction;
or (ii) compliance with the laws of such foreign jurisdiction would cause the Statutory Plan to violate the requirements of Code Section 423. During paid leaves of absence (as determined in accordance with the Company’s and
Participating Company’s policies and procedures) and meeting the requirements of the applicable treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, a participant may elect to continue participation in the Plan for three months or for such longer
period as permitted under applicable treasury regulations. 
 4.      Offerings. During the term
of the Plan, the Committee may from time to time provide for time periods (each, an “offering”) under which the Committee will grant or provide for the right to subscribe for shares of Common Stock under the Plan to employees
(consisting of one or more Purchase Dates) on an Offering Date or Offering Dates selected by the Committee. Each offering will be for the period established by the Committee within its discretion; provided that


  
 5 














  

 
as of the Effective Date, each offering shall be a consecutive twelve (12) month period unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Each offering shall provide for one or more Purchase
Periods during such offering as determined by the Committee within its discretion. In order to become eligible to participate in an offering and purchase shares, an employee must complete and submit an Enrollment Agreement and any other necessary
documents before the Offering Date of the particular offering in which he or she wishes to participate as described in Sections 7 and 8 hereof. Participation in one offering under the Plan shall neither limit, nor require, participation in any other
offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, within its discretion, establish (a) different durations for an offering; (b) different terms for one or more offerings, (c) different commencing and ending dates for such
offerings, and/or (d) different durations for Purchase Periods during an offering; provided, however, that in no event shall any offering exceed twenty-seven (27) months. In the event the first or the last day of an offering is not a
regular business day, then the first day of the offering shall be deemed to be the next regular business day and the last day of the offering shall be deemed to be the last preceding regular business day. 

5.      Price. The Purchase Price per share shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of
(a) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date of such offering and (b) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date of such offering. 

6.      Number of Shares to be Offered. The maximum number of shares that will be offered under
the Plan is 5,404,926 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as permitted under Section 20 hereof (the “Share Reserve”). In addition, the total number shares of Common Stock available for issuance
pursuant to the Share Reserve under the Plan shall be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company following the Effective Date (and prior to the termination of the Plan) in an amount equal to the lesser of (a)
1,801,642 shares of Common Stock, (b) 1% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Company and (c) such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as determined by
the Board in its discretion. The shares to be sold to participants under the Plan will be Common Stock of the Company. If the total number of shares for which options are to be granted on any date in accordance with Section 12 hereof exceeds
the number of shares then available under the Plan or a given sub-plan (after deduction of all shares for which options have been exercised under the Plan or are then outstanding), the Company shall make a pro
rata allocation of the shares remaining available in as nearly a uniform manner as it determines is practicable and equitable. In such event, the payroll deductions to be made pursuant to the authorizations therefor shall be reduced accordingly and
the Company shall give written notice of the reduction to each employee affected. Any Shares delivered under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury shares. 

7.      Participation. 

7.1    An eligible employee may become a participant by completing an Enrollment Agreement provided by the Company and
submitting it to the Company, or with such other entity designated by the Company for this purpose, prior to the commencement of the offering to which it relates. The Enrollment Agreement may be completed during any enrollment period after the
employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, and will be effective as of the Offering Date next following the receipt of a properly completed Enrollment Agreement by the Company (or the Company’s designee for this purpose). 

  
 6 














  

 7.2    Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first
full payroll period following the Offering Date as described above and shall continue through subsequent offerings pursuant to Section 10 hereof until the participant’s termination of employment, subject to modification by the employee as
provided in Section 8.1 hereof, and unless participation is earlier withdrawn or suspended by the employee as provided in Section 9 hereof. 

7.3    Payroll deduction shall be the sole means of accumulating funds in a participant’s Account, except in foreign
countries where payroll deductions are not allowed, in which case the Company may authorize alternative payment methods. 

7.4    The Company may require current participants to complete a new Enrollment Agreement at any time it deems necessary
or desirable to facilitate Plan administration or for any other reason. 
 8.      Payroll Deductions. 

8.1    At the time an employee files a payroll deduction authorization, the employee shall elect to have deductions made
from the employee’s Compensation on each payday during each calendar year, which shall be in an amount not less than 1% and not more than 15% (or such greater percentage as the Committee may establish from time to time before an Offering Date,
subject to the individual limits set forth in this Plan and Section 423 of the Code). The amount of payroll deductions shall be a whole percentage (i.e., 1%, 2%, 3%, etc.) of the employee’s Compensation. Unless otherwise provided by the
Committee, a participant may elect, only one (1) time during per offering, to either (a) decrease the amount to be withheld from his or her Compensation during an offering or (b) discontinue payroll contributions during an offering,
by completing and filing with the Company an amended Enrollment Agreement authorizing the decrease or cessation of payroll deductions. The change shall be effective as of the beginning of the next payroll period following the date of filing the
amended Enrollment Agreement if the amended Enrollment Agreement is filed at least ten (10) days (or such earlier date as provided by the Committee within its discretion) prior to such date (the “Change Notice Date”)
and, if not, as of the beginning of the next succeeding payroll period. All payroll deductions accrued by a participant as of a Change Notice Date shall continue to be applied toward the purchase of Common Stock on the Purchase Date, unless a
participant withdraws from an offering or the Plan, pursuant to Section 9 hereof. An amended Enrollment Agreement shall remain in effect until the participant changes such Enrollment Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The
Committee may, from time to time, establish and/or change (i) limitations on the frequency and/or number of any permitted changes in the amount withheld during an offering, (ii) payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a
Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, and (iii) such other limitations or procedures as deemed advisable by the Committee in the Committee’s sole
discretion that are consistent with the Plan and in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 423. 

  
 7 














  

 8.2    All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to
his or her Account under the Plan. A participant may not make any separate cash payment into his or her Account nor may payment for shares be made other than by payroll deduction, except as provided under Section 7.3 hereof. 

8.3    A participant may withdraw from or suspend his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 9
hereof. A participant may also make a prospective election, by changing his or her payroll deduction amount to zero as set forth in, and pursuant to the terms of, Section 8.1 hereof, to cease participation in the Plan effective as of the next
Offering Date. 
 8.4    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of
the Code, Section 21 hereof, or any other applicable law, a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased, including to zero, at such time during any offering which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year that the
aggregate of all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to such offering and any other offering ending within the same calendar year are equal to $21,250. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in the participant’s
Enrollment Agreement at the beginning of the following offering which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless the participant withdraws from an offering or the Plan, pursuant to Section 9 hereof. 

9.      Withdrawal and Suspension. 

9.1    An employee may withdraw from an offering, in whole but not in part, at any time during the offering for which such
withdrawal is to be effective, or by any other date specified by the Administrator, by submitting a withdrawal notice to the Company, in which event the Company will refund the entire balance of his or her Account as soon as practicable thereafter.

 9.2    If an employee withdraws or suspends his or her participation pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, he or she
shall not participate in a subsequent offering unless and until he or she re-enters the Plan. To re-enter the Plan, an employee who has previously withdrawn or suspended
participation by reducing payroll deductions to zero must file a new Enrollment Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof and otherwise be eligible to participate in this Plan pursuant to the terms hereof. The employee’s re-entry into the Plan will not become effective before the beginning of the next offering following his or her withdrawal or suspension. 

10.      Automatic Re-Enrollment. At the termination of
each offering each participating employee who continues to be eligible to participate pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall be automatically re-enrolled in the next offering, unless the employee has advised
the Company otherwise. Upon termination of the Plan, any balance in each employee’s Account shall be refunded to him or her. 

11.      Interest. No interest will be paid or allowed on any money in the Accounts of
participating employees, except to the extent payment of interest is required by the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 

12.      Granting of Option. On each Offering Date, this Plan shall be deemed to have granted to
the participant an option for as many shares (which may include a fractional share) as he or she will be able to purchase with the amounts credited to his or her Account during his or her 

  
 8 














  

 
participation in that offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no participant may purchase more than 2,250 shares of Common Stock during any single offering. This number may be
adjusted as permitted pursuant to Section 20 hereof. 
 13.      Exercise of Option. 

13.1    Each employee who continues to be a participant in an offering on a Purchase Date during that offering shall be
deemed to have exercised his or her option on that Purchase Date and shall be deemed to have purchased from the Company the number of shares (which may not include a fractional share) of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan as the
balance of his or her Account on such date will pay for at the Purchase Price. 
 13.2    Unless otherwise determined by
the Committee, fractional shares shall not be issued hereunder and, as a result, any cash balance remaining in a participant’s Account at the termination of an offering that is not sufficient to purchase a whole share of Common Stock, shall be
carried over in the participant’s Account and applied to the purchase of Common Stock in the next offering, provided the participant participates in the next offering and the purchase complies with Section 21 hereof. If the Participant
does not participate in the next offering, such remaining cash balance shall be refunded to the participant as soon as practical after the Purchase Date. 

13.3    Any amount remaining to the credit of a participant’s Account after the purchase of shares by the Participant
on a Purchase Date which would be sufficient to purchase one or more full shares of Common Stock but for the limitations set forth in Sections 12 and/or 21 hereof shall be refunded to the participant as soon as practical after the Purchase Date.

 14.      Tax Obligations. To the extent any (a) grant of an option to purchase shares,
(b) purchase of shares, or (c) disposition of shares purchased under the Plan gives rise to any tax withholding obligation (including, without limitation, income and payroll withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction) the Administrator
may implement appropriate procedures to ensure that such tax withholding obligations are met. Those procedures may include, without limitation, increased withholding from an employee’s current compensation, cash payments to the Company or
another Participating Company by an employee, or a sale of a portion of the Common Stock purchased under the Plan, which sale may be required and initiated by the Company. 

15.      Employee’s Rights as a Stockholder. No participating employee shall have any right
as a stockholder with respect to any shares until the shares have been purchased in accordance with Section 13 above and the Common Stock has been issued by the Company. 

16.      Evidence of Stock Ownership. 

16.1    Following the end of each offering, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by each participant shall be
deposited into an account established in the participant’s name at the ESPP Broker. 
 16.2    A participant shall
be free to undertake a disposition (as that term is defined in Section 424(c) of the Code) of the shares in his or her ESPP Broker account at any time, whether by sale, exchange, gift, or other transfer of legal title, but in the absence of
such a disposition of the 

  
 9 














  

 
shares, the shares must remain in the participant’s ESPP Broker account until the holding period set forth in Section 423(a) of the Code has been satisfied. With respect to shares for
which the Section 423(a) holding period has been satisfied, the participant may move those shares to another brokerage account of participant’s choosing. 

16.3    Notwithstanding the above, shares of Common Stock purchased under a
Non-Statutory Plan may be moved to another brokerage account of the participant’s choosing at any time, without regard to the satisfaction of the Section 423(a) holding period, subject to applicable
law. 
 17.      Rights Not Transferable; Restrictions on Resale. 

17.1    No participant shall be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber either the
payroll deductions credited to his or her Account or an option or any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or rights to receive shares under the Plan other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such right and interest
shall not be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, or liabilities of the participant. If any such action is taken by the participant, or any claim is asserted by any other party in respect of such right and interest whether by
garnishment, levy, attachment or otherwise, the action or claim will be treated as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Section 9. During the participant’s lifetime, only the employee can make decisions regarding the
participation in or withdrawal from an offering under the Plan. 
 17.2    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
participants may not sell any shares of Common Stock acquired under the terms of the Plan until the expiration of the period commencing on each Purchase Date and ending 6 months later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time restriction on the sale
of shares will lapse upon the participant’s termination of employment due to participant’s death. 

18.      Termination or Transfer of Employment. 

18.1    Upon termination of employment for any or no reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, death or retirement,
the balance in the Account of a participating employee shall be paid to the employee or his or her estate. Whether and when employment is deemed terminated for purposes of this Plan shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion and
may be determined without regard to statutory notice periods or other periods following termination of active employment. 

18.2    In the event that a participant who is an employee of a Participating Company in a
Non-Statutory Plan is transferred and becomes an employee of a different Participating Company in a Non-Statutory Plan, during an offering, such individual may, subject
to the terms and eligibility of the Non-Statutory Plan of the new employer, become a participant under the Non-Statutory Plan of the new employer for the duration of the
offering in effect at that time. Unless otherwise required under local law, any payroll deductions or other approved contributions may continue to be held by the Participating Company former employer of the participant for the remainder of the
offering. At the next Purchase Date, all payroll deductions and other approved contributions made by or to such Participating Company former employer and/or the employer Participating Company shall be aggregated for the purchase of shares of
Common Stock under, and subject to the terms and limitations of, the Non-Statutory Plan of the new employer. 

  
 10 














  

 18.3    In the event that an employee of a Participating Company in the
Statutory Plan and who is a participant in the Statutory Plan is transferred and becomes an employee of a Participating Company in a Non-Statutory Plan during an offering, unless determined otherwise by the
Committee, such individual may, subject to the terms and eligibility of the Non-Statutory Plan of the new employer, become a participant under the Non-Statutory Plan of
the new employer for the duration of the offering in effect at that time. Unless otherwise required under local law, any payroll deductions may continue to be held by the Participating Company former employer for the remainder of the offering.
At the next Purchase Date, all payroll deductions and other approved contributions made by or to the Participating Company former employer and/or the employer Participating Company may be aggregated for the purchase of shares of Common Stock under,
and subject to the terms and limitations of, the Non-Statutory Plan of the new employer. 

19.      Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan. 

19.1    The Committee may amend the Plan in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however that
(a) to the extent required for compliance with Code Section 423 or any applicable law or regulation, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment that will (i) increase the total number of shares as to which options may be
granted under the Plan, except as provided in Section 20 hereof, (ii) modify the class of employees eligible to receive options, or (iii) otherwise require stockholder approval under any applicable law or regulation ((i), (ii) and
(iii) being collectively referred to as the “Specified Amendments“); (b) notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 22, the approval by the Board, which may not be delegated to the Committee, will be required for
the approval of any of the Specified Amendments; and (c) except as provided in this Section 19 or Section 24, no amendment to the Plan shall make any change in any option previously granted which adversely affects the rights of any
Participant. 
 19.2    The Plan shall continue in effect for ten (10) years from the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may at any time and for any reason suspend or terminate the Plan. During any period of suspension or upon termination of the Plan, no options shall be granted. 

19.3    Except as provided in Section 20 hereof, no such termination of the Plan may affect options previously
granted, provided that the Plan or an offering may be terminated by the Board on a Purchase Date or by the Board’s setting a new Purchase Date with respect to an offering then in progress if the Board determines that termination of the Plan
and/or the offering is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders or if continuation of the Plan and/or the offering would cause the Company to incur adverse accounting charges as a result of a change after the Effective Date in the
generally accepted accounting rules applicable to the Plan. 
 20.      Changes in
Capitalization. In the event of reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, offerings of rights, or any other change in the structure of the common shares of the Company, the
Committee shall make such adjustment, if any, as it may deem appropriate in the number, kind, and the price of shares 

  
 11 














  

 
available for purchase under the Plan, and in the number of shares which an employee is entitled to purchase including, without limitation, closing an offering early and permitting purchase on
the last business day of the reduced offering period, or terminating an offering and refunding participants’ Account balances. 

21.      Share Ownership. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no employee shall
be permitted to subscribe for any shares under the Plan if the employee, immediately after such subscription, owns shares (including all shares that may be purchased under outstanding subscriptions under the Plan) possessing 5% or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations. For the foregoing purposes the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining share ownership and shares the
employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as owned by the employee. In addition, no employee shall be allowed to subscribe for any shares under the Plan that permit his or her rights to purchase shares under all “employee
stock purchase plans” of the Company and its parent or subsidiary corporations to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such shares (determined at the time such right to subscribe is granted) for each calendar year in
which the right to subscribe is outstanding at any time. Notwithstanding the above, lower limitations may be imposed with respect to participants in a Non-Statutory Plan or participants in the Statutory Plan
who are subject to laws of another jurisdiction where lower limitations are required. 
 22.      Administration and Board
Authority. 
 22.1    The Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, the
Board has delegated its full authority under the Plan to the Committee, and the Committee may further delegate any or all of its authority under this Plan to such senior officer(s) of the Company as it may designate, to the extent not prohibited by
law or rules of the Code and/or the applicable stock exchange under which the Common Stock is traded. Notwithstanding any such delegation of authority, the Board may itself take any action under the Plan in its discretion at any time, and any
reference in this Plan document to the rights and obligations of the Committee shall be construed to apply equally to the Board. Any references to the Board mean only the Board. The authority that may be delegated by the Committee includes, without
limitation, the authority to (a) establish Non-Statutory Plans and determine the terms of such sub-plans (including, without limitation, rules and procedures
regarding handling of payroll deductions or other approved contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates that vary with local requirements and determining the
eligible employees that may enroll in a Non-Statutory Plan), (b) designate from time to time which Subsidiaries (that are Participating Companies) will participate in the Statutory Plan and which Participating
Companies will participate in a particular Non-Statutory Plan, (c) determine procedures for eligible employees to enroll in or withdraw from a sub-plan, setting or
changing payroll deduction amounts, and obtaining necessary tax withholdings, (d) allocate the available shares under the Plan to the sub-plans for particular offerings and (e) adopt amendments to
the Plan or any sub-plan including, without limitation, amendments to increase the shares available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 20 hereof (but not including increases in the available
shares above the maximum permitted by Sections 6 and 20 hereof which shall require Board and stockholder approval). 

  
 12 














  

 22.2    The Committee shall be vested with full authority and discretion
to construe the terms of the Plan and make factual determinations under the Plan, and to make, administer, and interpret such rules and regulations as it deems necessary to administer the Plan, and any determination, decision, or action of the
Committee in connection with the construction, interpretation, administration, or application of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all participants and any and all persons claiming under or through any participant. The Committee
may retain outside entities and professionals to assist in the administration of the Plan including, without limitation, a vendor or vendors to perform enrollment and brokerage services. The authority of the Committee will specifically include,
without limitation, the power to make any changes to the Plan with respect to the participation of employees of any Subsidiary or Affiliate that is organized under the laws of a country other than the United States of America when the Committee
deems such changes to be necessary or appropriate to achieve a desired tax treatment in such foreign jurisdiction or to comply with the laws applicable to such non-U.S. Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Those
changes may include, without limitation, the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries or Affiliates from participation in the Plan; modifications to eligibility criteria, maximum number or value of shares that may be purchased in a given period, or
other requirements set forth herein; and procedural or administrative modifications. Any modification relating to offerings to a particular Participating Company will apply only to that Participating Company and will apply equally to all similarly
situated employees of that Participating Company. The rights and privileges of all employees granted options under the Statutory Plan shall be the same. To the extent any changes approved by the Committee would jeopardize the tax-qualified status of the Statutory Plan, the change shall cause the Participating Companies affected thereby to be considered Participating Companies under a Non-Statutory
Plan or Non- Statutory Plans instead of the Statutory Plan. 

22.3    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 22.1 and 22.2 above, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto (“Rule 16b-3”) provides specific requirements for the administrators of
plans of this type, the Plan shall only be administered by such body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3. Unless permitted by Rule
16b-3, no discretion concerning decisions regarding the Plan shall be afforded to any person that is not “disinterested” as that term is used in Rule 16b-3.

 23.      Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company or
other entity designated for a particular purpose under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received by the Company or other designated entity, or when received in the form specified by the Company at the
location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 
 24.      Change of
Control. In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding option shall be assumed, continued or an equivalent option substituted by the successor company or parent thereof (the “Successor Company”). In the event that
the Successor Company refuses to assume, continue or substitute for the option, any offering then in progress shall either be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date or by cancelling such offering and returning all Account balances to the
respective participants. If an offering is to be shorted and not cancelled, then the new Purchase Date shall be a specified date before the date of the Change of Control as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall notify each
participant in writing, prior 

  
 13 














  

 
to the new Purchase Date (the times period of which shall be determined by the Administrator within its discretion), that the Purchase Date for the participant’s option has been changed to
the new Purchase Date and that the participant’s option shall be exercised automatically on the new Purchase Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from an offering then in progress or the Plan as provided in
Section 9 hereof. 
 25.      Dissolution or Liquidation of the Company. In the event of
the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the offering then in progress shall be cancelled and all Account balances shall be returned to the respective participants.  

26.      Limitations on Sale of Stock Purchased Under the Plan. The Plan is intended to provide
Common Stock for investment and not for resale. The Company does not, however, intend to restrict or influence any employee in the conduct of the employee’s own affairs. An employee, therefore, may sell Common Stock purchased under the Plan at
any time the employee chooses, subject to compliance with any applicable Federal, state or foreign securities laws and policies and/or participation rules established by the Committee, and any Company and Participating Company policies. THE EMPLOYEE
ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY MARKET FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF THE COMPANY’S STOCK. 

27.      Governmental Regulation/Compliance with Applicable Law/Separate Offering. The
Company’s obligation to sell and deliver shares of the Company’s Common Stock under this Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such shares. In
addition, the terms of an offering under this Plan, or the rights of an employee under an offering, may be modified to the extent required by applicable law. For purposes of this Plan, the Committee also may designate separate offerings under the
Plan (the terms of which need not be identical) in which eligible employees of one or more Participating Companies will participate, even if the dates of the offerings are identical. 

28.      No Employment/Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any employee the
right to continue in employment for any period of specific duration, nor interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate employing such person), or of any employee, which rights are hereby
expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause. 

29.      Dates and Times. All references in the Plan to a date or time are intended to refer to
dates and times determined pursuant to U.S. Eastern Time. Business days for purposes of the Plan are U.S. business days. 

30.      Masculine and Feminine, Singular and Plural. Whenever used in the Plan, a pronoun shall
include the opposite gender and the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular, whenever the context shall plainly so require. 

31.      Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury trial. The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws, and applicable federal law. The agreed venue and method for resolving disputes relating to an Award Agreement or the Plan shall be as set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement, or in the absence of such provision, as applies to disputes relating to or arising out of the Participant’s service with 

  
 14 














  

 
the Company and its Affiliates, including the termination thereof. Unless otherwise specifically provided by explicit reference to the jury waiver provision in this
Section 31 in an applicable Award Agreement, each Participant, TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT THE PARTICIPANT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF,
DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN OR ANY AWARD AGREEMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND AGREES THAT ANY OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF
ITS AFFILIATES OR THE PARTICIPANT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES, ON THE ONE
HAND, AND THE PARTICIPANT, ON THE OTHER HAND, IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE PLAN OR ANY AWARD AGREEMENT, AND THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. 
 32.      No Liability of Committee
Members. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such Committee member or on his or her behalf in his or her capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of
judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the
Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such
person’s own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them
or hold them harmless. 
 33.      Data Collection. By participating in the Plan or accepting
any rights under it, each participant consents to the collection and processing of personal data relating to the participant so that the Company and its Subsidiaries can fulfill their obligations and exercise their rights under the Plan and
generally administer and manage the Plan. This data will include, but may not be limited to, data about participation in the Plan and shares offered or received, purchased or sold under the Plan from time to time and other appropriate financial and
other data about the participant and the participant’s participation in the Plan.
