terms will have the meanings set forth below: 
 (a) “Award” means an Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option,
Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Award Unit granted to a Participant pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, any of which the Committee may structure to qualify in whole or in part as
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (b) “Award Agreement” means a written
agreement or other instrument as approved from time to time by the Committee implementing the grant of each Award. An Agreement may be in the form of an agreement to be executed by both the Participant and the Company (or an authorized
representative of the Company) or certificates, notices or similar instruments as approved by the Committee. 
 (c) “Board”
means the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (d) “Change in Control” means, unless the Committee or the Board provides
otherwise, the occurrence of any of the following events:

Exchange Act) of 50% or more of either (i) the then outstanding Shares (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote

Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board or another committee of two or more directors as established by the Board will administer the Plan (the “Committee”). Any power of the Committee may also be exercised by the Board of
Directors, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or

will control. 
 (b) Delegation of Authority by the Committee. The Committee may delegate to a subcommittee (a
“Subcommittee”) composed of one or more officers of the Company (who may but need not be members of the Board) the ability to grant Awards and take the same actions as the Committee described in Section 3(c) or elsewhere in the
Plan with respect to Participants who are not executive officers; provided, however, that the resolution authorizing the Subcommittee must specify the total number of Shares that may be subject to Awards granted by the Subcommittee pursuant to the
delegated authority. Any Award granted by the Subcommittee will be subject to the form of Award Agreement approved in advance by the Committee. No officer who is a member of the Subcommittee may be granted Awards under the authority delegated to the
Subcommittee. Any action by any Subcommittee within the scope of such delegation will be treated for all purposes as if taken by the Committee and references in this Plan to the Committee will include any such Subcommittee. The Committee may also
delegate the 

  

 4 








 
administration of the Plan to one or more officers of the Company (each a “Plan Administrator”), and the Plan Administrator(s) may have the
authority to execute and distribute Award Agreements or other documents evidencing or relating to Awards, maintain records relating to the grant, vesting, exercise, forfeiture or expiration of Awards, process or oversee the issuance of Shares upon
the exercise, vesting and/or settlement of an Award, interpret and administer the terms of Award Agreements and to take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and of Awards under the Plan, subject to
the Committee’s ultimate authority to administer and interpret the Plan. 
 (c) Powers of Committee. Subject to the express
provisions of this Plan, the Committee will be authorized and empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation: (i) to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein; (ii) to determine which persons are eligible under Section 4 to be granted Awards and the timing of Awards, if any, to be
granted to such eligible persons; (iii) to grant Awards to Participants and determine the terms and conditions of Awards, including the number of Shares subject to Awards and the exercise or purchase price of such Shares and the circumstances
under which Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or expire, which terms may but need not be conditioned upon the passage of time, continued employment, the satisfaction of performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events
(including events which the Board or the Committee determine constitute a Change in Control), or other factors; (iv) to establish and certify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant,
issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any Award; (v) to prescribe and amend the terms of Award Agreements or other documents relating to Awards made under this Plan (which may be different) and the terms of or form of any
document or notice the Participants are required to deliver to the Company; (vi) to determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 13; (vii) to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and
regulations under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, and to make exceptions to any such provisions in good faith and for the benefit of the Company; and (viii) to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. 
 (d) Determinations by the Committee. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations by the Committee related to the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of or operation of any Award granted hereunder, will be final and binding on all Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns
or other persons holding or claiming rights under the Plan or any Award. The Committee will consider those factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making any decisions, determinations and interpretations including,
without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. 
 (e) Subsidiary Awards. In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by a Subsidiary, the Company may implement such a grant, if the Committee so directs, by issuing any subject shares to the
Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, 

  

 5 








 
the Subsidiary may issue the Award by and in its name and the Award will be deemed granted on the date determined by the Committee. 
  

	4.	Eligibility 

 The Committee may select any Director
or person who is a current or prospective officer or employee of the Company or of any Subsidiary for the grant of Awards. Options intending to qualify as Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary
within the meaning of the Code. 
  

	5.	Effective Date and Termination of Plan 

 The
Company’s Board adopted this Plan as of June 16, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), subject to approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Plan will remain available for the grant of Awards until the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may terminate the Plan at any time. Termination of the Plan will not affect the rights and obligations of the Participants and the Company arising under Awards
previously granted and then in effect. 
  

	6.	Shares Subject to the Plan and to Awards 

 (a)
Aggregate Limits. The maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to all Awards is 400,000. The aggregate number of Shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards will be subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 13. The Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or shares that the Company reacquired, including shares purchased in the open market. 
 (b) Issuance of Shares. For purposes of Section 6(a), the aggregate number of Shares issued under this Plan at any time equals only the
number of Shares actually issued upon exercise or settlement of an Award. Shares (i) subject to Awards that are canceled, expired, forfeited or settled in cash and (ii) that are delivered or deemed delivered to the Company in payment or
satisfaction of the exercise price or tax withholding obligation of an Award will again be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan. 
 (c) Tax Code Limits. The maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable under all Awards granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant is 150,000, which number will be calculated and
adjusted pursuant to Section 13 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The maximum
aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan is 400,000, which number will be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 13 only to the extent that such calculation
or adjustment will not affect the status of any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. The maximum amount payable pursuant to that portion of a Performance Award Unit granted under this Plan in
any calendar year to any Participant that is denominated in dollars (as opposed to Shares) and is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code is Four Hundred Thousand
($400,000).

	7.	Options 

 (a) Option Awards. The Committee
may grant Options to Participants at any time prior to the termination of the Plan. No Participant will have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to Options until said Shares have been issued. Each Option will be evidenced
by an Award Agreement. Options granted pursuant to the Plan may be different but each Option must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. 
 (b) Price. The Committee will establish the exercise price per Share of each Option, which, in no event will the purchase price be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; provided,
however, that if the Participant owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a “10% Shareholder”), the purchase price of the Option must be at least 110 percent of
the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; and provided further, however, that the exercise price per Share with respect to an Option that is granted in connection with a merger or other acquisition as a substitute or replacement award
for options held by optionees of the acquired entity may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date such Option is granted if based on a formula set forth in the terms of the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the
agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition. The exercise price of any Option may be paid in cash or, to the extent allowed by the Committee, an irrevocable commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the Shares
issuable under an Option, the delivery of previously owned Shares, withholding of Shares deliverable upon exercise or a combination thereof. 
 (c) No Repricing. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 13) the exercise price of an Option may not be reduced without shareholder approval. 
 (d) Vesting and Expiration of Options. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, Options shall vest monthly following the grant date as to
1/48th of the Options granted (for a total of four year vesting) Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement, the vesting period and/or exercisability of an Option may be adjusted by the Committee during or to reflect the effects of
any period during which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full-time basis, and the Committee may take into consideration any accounting consequences to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
the Shares are quoted on the NASDAQ National Market or other national stock exchange, in the case of an Option granted to persons other than directors or officers of the Company, the Option’s vesting period shall be at least 20% per year
over five years from the date the Option is granted, subject to reasonable conditions including, without limitation, continued employment; provided, however, that in the case of an Option granted to officers of the Company or its affiliates, the
Option shall vest at any time or during any period established by the Committee subject to the terms of this Plan and the Award Agreement. Each Option will expire within a period of not more than ten (10) years from the date of grant, subject
to earlier expiration of an Option upon termination of service as specified in the Award Agreement. 
 (e) Incentive Stock Options.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, in the case of the grant of an Option intending to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option: (i)if the Participant is a 10% Shareholder, the Option must expire within a period of not more


  

 7 








 
than five (5) years from the date of grant, and (ii) termination of employment will occur when the person to whom an Award was granted ceases to be
an employee (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, options designated as
Incentive Stock Options will be ineligible for treatment under the Code as Incentive Stock Options (and will be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock Options) to the extent that (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares (determined as of the time
of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Options into account in the order in which they
were granted, or (ii) such Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three (3) months after of termination of employment (or such other period of time provided in Section 422 of the Code). 
  

	8.	Stock Appreciation Rights 

 Stock Appreciation
Rights may be granted to Participants either in tandem with or as a component of other Awards granted under the Plan (“tandem SARs”) or not in conjunction with other Awards (“freestanding SARs”) and may, but need
not, relate to a specific Option granted under Section 7. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights do not need to be the same with respect to each grant or each recipient. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be
granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option. All Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan will be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as
set forth in Section 7; provided, however, that Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with a previously granted Option will have the terms and conditions of such Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 7, the Committee may
impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it deems appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Shares, cash or a combination of both. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s
capitalization (as described in Section 13), the exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right may not be reduced without shareholder approval. Each Stock Appreciation Right will be evidenced by an Award Agreement. 
  

	9.	Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 

 (a)
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time before the termination of the Plan to Participants selected by the Committee. Restricted Stock is an award or issuance
of Shares the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems appropriate.
Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in units of Shares under which the issuance of Shares is subject to such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms, as the Committee deems appropriate. Each grant of
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, each Restricted Stock Unit will be equal to one Share. To the extent determined by the Committee, Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units may be satisfied or settled in Shares, cash or a combination thereof. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan do not need to be 

  

 8 








 
identical, but each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 (b) Contents of Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement will contain provisions regarding (i) the number of Shares or Restricted
Stock Units subject to such Award or a formula for determining such number, (ii) the purchase price of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment, (iii) the performance criteria, if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria
that will determine the number of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting and/or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units as may be determined by the Committee, (v) the term of the performance period, if any, as to which performance will be measured for determining the number of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, (vi) restrictions on the
transferability of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, and (vii) such further terms and conditions in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined by the Committee. Shares issued under a Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit Award may be issued in the name of the Participant and held by the Participant or held by the Company, in each case as the Committee may provide. 
 (c) Vesting and Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will occur when and in such installments as the Committee
determines or under criteria the Committees establishes, which may include Qualifying Performance Criteria or other Criteria. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of Shares under any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Award that is based upon continued employment or the passage of time shall vest or be settled in full over a period determined by the Committee, and the Committee may provide for the satisfaction and/or lapse of all conditions under any such Award
in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or in connection with a Change in Control, and the Committee may provide that any such restriction or limitation will not apply in the case of a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award
that is issued in payment or settlement of compensation that has been earned by the Participant. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the performance criteria for any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit that is intended to
satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified when the Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit is granted. 
 (d) Discretionary Adjustments and Limits. Subject to the limits imposed under Section 162(m)
of the Code for Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance based compensation,” notwithstanding the satisfaction of any performance goals, the Committee, to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, may reduce the number of
Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee
will determine. 
 (e) Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock
granted under this Plan may exercise full voting rights with respect to those shares during the period of restriction. Participants will have no voting rights 

  

 9 








 
with respect to Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s
stock ledger. 
 (f) Dividends and Distributions. Participants in whose name Restricted Stock is granted will be entitled to receive
all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares, unless determined otherwise by the Committee. Any such dividends or distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock and subject to the
same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were distributed. Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units will be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents only to the extent provided by the Committee.

  

	10.	Performance Award Units 

 (a) General. Each
Performance Award Unit Award will confer upon the Participant the opportunity to earn a future payment tied to the level of achievement with respect to the performance criteria established for a performance period established by the Committee.

 (b) Award Agreement. The terms of any Performance Award Unit will be set forth in an Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement
evidencing an Performance Award Unit will contain provisions about (i) the target and maximum amount payable to the Participant as a Performance Award Unit, (ii) the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that
will determine the amount of such payment, (iii) the term of the performance period as to which performance will be measured for determining the amount of any payment, (iv) the timing of any payment earned by virtue of performance,
(v) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the Performance Award Unit before actual payment, (vi) forfeiture provisions and (vii) such further terms and conditions, in each case consistent with this Plan as the Committee may
periodically determine. 
 (c) Performance Criteria. The Committee will establish the performance criteria and level of achievement
versus these criteria that will determine the target and maximum amount payable under a Performance Award Unit, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. The Committee may specify the percentage of
the target Performance Award Unit that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the performance criteria for any
portion of a Performance Award Unit that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be a measure based on the Qualifying Performance Criteria the
Committee selects and specifies when the Performance Award Unit is granted. 
 (d) Timing and Form of Payment. The Committee will
determine the timing of payment of any Performance Award Unit. Payment of the amount due under a Performance Award Unit may be made in cash or in Shares, as determined by the Committee. 
 (e) Discretionary Adjustments. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the Committee may, to the extent specified in the Award
Agreement, reduce the amount paid under a Performance Award Unit on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee will determine. 
  

 10 









	11.	Deferral of Gains 

 The Committee may, in an Award
Agreement or otherwise, provide for the deferred delivery of Shares upon settlement, vesting or other events with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or in payment or satisfaction of a Performance Award Unit. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any deferral of the delivery of Shares or any other payment with respect to any Award be allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition
of the additional tax under Section 409A(1)(B) of the Code. 
  

	12.	Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Awards 

 The Committee may provide that the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or issued under an Award will be subject to such further agreements, restrictions,
conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify before the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or
transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the shares issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including the actual or constructive surrender of Shares already owned by the Participant) or
payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued under
an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Participant and holders of other
Company equity compensation arrangements, and (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers. 
  

	13.	Adjustment of and Changes in the Stock 

 (a) In the
event that the number of Shares increases or decreases through a reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, dividend (other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or otherwise, then the
Committee may appropriately adjust each Share that has been authorized for issuance under the Plan, whether such Share is then currently subject to or may become subject to an Award under the Plan, as well as the per share limits set forth in
Section 6 to reflect such increase or decrease, unless the Company provides otherwise under the terms of such transaction. The Committee may also adjust the terms of any outstanding Award as to price, number of Shares subject to such Award and
other terms to reflect the foregoing events. 
 (b) In the event of any other change in the number or kind of outstanding Shares, or any
stock or other securities into which such Shares have been changed, or for which Shares have been exchanged, whether by reason of a Change in Control, other merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Committee will, in its sole discretion,
determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be effected. In addition, in the event of a change described in this paragraph, the 

  

 11 








 
Committee may accelerate the time or times at which any Award may be exercised and may provide for cancellation of such accelerated Awards that are not
exercised within a time prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any adjustment to Options granted pursuant to this Plan intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options must comply with the
requirements, provisions and restrictions of the Code. 
 (c) No right to purchase fractional shares will result from any adjustment in
Awards pursuant to this Section 13. In case of any such adjustment, the shares subject to the Award will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Company will give notice of any adjustment made to each Participant, and such adjustment
(whether or not notice is given) will be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan. 
  

	14.	Qualifying Performance-Based Compensation 

 (a)
General. The Committee may specify a percentage of an Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance criteria for any
portion of an Award that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by
the Committee and specified at the time the Award is granted. The Committee will certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment, settlement or vesting
of any Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of Shares issued or the amount paid
under an Award intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code may, to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, be reduced by the Committee on the basis
of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines. 
 (b) Qualifying Performance Criteria. For
purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria” will mean any of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a
business unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either quarterly, semi-annually, annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to
previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as the Committee specifies: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) total shareholder return, (vi) return on capital (including return on total capital or return on capital employed), (vii) return on assets or net assets,
(viii) market capitalization, (ix) economic value added, (x) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xi) revenue, (xii) income or net income, (xiii) operating income, (xiv) operating profit or net operating profit,
(xv) operating margin or profit margin, (xvi) return on operating revenue, (xvii) cash from operations, (xviii) operating ratio, (xix) operating revenue, (xx) product sales (including new user sales), or
(xxi) customer service. To the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may appropriately adjust any performance evaluation under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs
during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation, claims, judgments or 

  

 12 








 
settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results,
(iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (v) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s Forms 10-K or 10-Q for the applicable year. For purposes of clarification and not limitation, at the discretion of the Committee, performance criteria employed pursuant to
the Plan may also include items not constituting Qualifying Performance Criteria, or the Committee may appropriately adjust any performance evaluation of Qualifying Performance Criteria or such other criteria in a manner not consistent with
Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that compensation may not be determined to be “performance-based compensation” pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code. 
  

	15.	Transferability 

 Unless the Committee specifies
otherwise, each Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, provided that, if the Shares are quoted on the NASDAQ
National Market System or other national stock exchange, the Award may also be transferred (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order or (iii) to any “family member” of the Participant (as such term is defined in
Section 1(a)(5) of the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act), to trusts solely for the benefit of such family members and to partnerships in which such family members and/or trusts are the only partners; provided that
following any such transfer or assignment the Award will remain subject to substantially the same terms applicable to the Award while held by the Participant, as modified as the Committee shall determine appropriate, and the transferee shall execute
an agreement agreeing to be bound by such terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (ii) and (iii) immediately above shall not be available with respect to Incentive Stock Options. Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be
exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant, the Participant’s guardian or legal representative or an individual or an authorized transferee of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as permitted pursuant to this
Plan. 
  

	16.	Suspension or Termination of Awards 

 Except as
otherwise provided by the Committee or by applicable law (including, without limitation, Delaware law), if at any time (including after a notice of exercise has been delivered or an Award has vested) the Chief Executive Officer or any other person
designated by the Committee (each such person, an “Authorized Officer”) reasonably believes that a Participant may have committed an Act of Misconduct as described in this Section 16 (which shall constitute “cause”
for termination of employment or service), the Authorized Officer, Committee or Board of Directors may suspend the Participant’s rights to exercise any Option, to vest in an Award, and/or to receive payment for or receive Shares in settlement
of an Award pending a determination of whether an Act of Misconduct has been committed. 
 If the Committee or an Authorized Officer
determines a Participant has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any Subsidiary, breach of fiduciary duty, violation of Company ethics policy or code of conduct, deliberate
disregard of Company or Subsidiary rules, or if a Participant makes an unauthorized 

  

 13 








 
disclosure of any Company or Subsidiary trade secret or confidential information, solicits any employee or service provider to leave the employ or cease
providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary, breaches any intellectual property or assignment of inventions covenant, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, breaches any non-competition agreement, induces any Company or
Subsidiary customer to breach a contract with the Company or any Subsidiary or to cease doing business with the Company or any Subsidiary, or induces any principal for whom the Company or any Subsidiary acts as agent to terminate such agency
relationship (any of the foregoing acts, an “Act of Misconduct”), then except as otherwise provided by the Committee or by applicable law (including, without limitation, Delaware law), (i) neither the Participant nor his or her
estate nor transferee will be entitled to exercise any Option or Stock Appreciation Right whatsoever, vest in or have the restrictions on an Incentive Award lapse, or otherwise receive payment or Shares under any Award, and (ii) the Participant
will forfeit all outstanding Awards. In making such determination, the Committee or an Authorized Officer may give the Participant an opportunity to appear and present evidence on his or her behalf at a hearing before the Committee or an opportunity
to submit written comments, documents, information and arguments to be considered by the Committee. Any dispute by a Participant or other person as to the determination of the Committee must be resolved pursuant to Section 23. 
  

	17.	Compliance with Laws and Regulations 

 The grant,
issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards under this Plan, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver shares of such Awards, will be subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations,
stock exchange rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company will not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any shares before the completion of any
registration or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body, which the Committee will determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to
or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder, the Company and
its Subsidiaries will be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such shares absent such requisite authority. No Option will be exercisable and no shares will be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless
a registration statement with respect to the shares underlying such Stock Option or other Award is effective and current or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary. In the event that the Committee determines that the Company
is prohibited from issuing shares in respect of an Award pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for a cash payment to the holder of the Award in settlement thereof in lieu of the issuance of shares
under the Award. 
 If an Award is granted to or held by a Participant employed or providing services outside the United States, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may
also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards to comply 

  

 14 








 
with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home
country. 
  

	18.	Withholding 

 To the extent required by applicable
federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant must satisfy, in a manner satisfactory to the Company, any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of an Option exercise, disposition of shares issued under an Incentive Stock Option, the
vesting of or settlement of Shares or deferred units under an Award, an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code or otherwise with respect to an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries will not be required to issue Shares, make any
payment or to recognize the transfer or disposition of shares until the Participant satisfies such obligations. The Committee may permit these obligations to be satisfied by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be
issued to the Participant upon exercise of the Option or the vesting or settlement of an Award, or by tendering shares previously acquired. 
  

	19.	Amendment of the Plan or Awards 

 The Board may
amend, alter or discontinue this Plan and the Committee may amend, or alter any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 13, no such amendment will,
without the approval of the shareholders of the Company: 
 (a) increase the maximum number of shares for which Awards may be granted under
this Plan; 
 (b) reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 7(a); 
 (c) reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options; 
 (d) extend the term of this Plan; 
 (e) change the class of persons eligible to be Participants; 

(f) otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring shareholder approval by applicable law or under the listing requirements of the NASDAQ National
Market or other national stock exchange or other market in which Share prices are quoted; or 
 (g) increase the individual maximum limits in
Section 6(c). 
 No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award or Award Agreement will be made which would impair the rights of the
holder of an Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no such consent will be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion and before the date of any Change in Control that such amendment or alteration either is
required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation. 
  

 15 









	20.	No Liability of Company 

 The Company and any
Subsidiary or affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence will not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (i) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and (ii) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other
person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted hereunder. 
  

	21.	Non-Exclusivity of Plan 

 Neither the adoption of
this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may
deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
  

	22.	Governing Law 

 This Plan and any agreements or
other documents hereunder will be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law. Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Awards to a provision of law
or to a rule or regulation will be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability. 
  

	23.	Arbitration of Disputes 

 If a Participant or other
holder of an Award or person claiming a right under an Award or the Plan wishes to challenge any action of the Committee, the person may do so only by submitting to binding arbitration with respect to such decision. The review by the arbitrator will
be limited to determining whether the Participant or other Award holder has proven that the Committee’s decision was arbitrary or capricious. This arbitration will be the sole and exclusive review permitted of the Committee’s decision.
Participants, Award holders and persons claiming rights under an Award or the Plan explicitly waive any right to judicial review. 
 Notice
of demand for arbitration will be made in writing to the Committee within thirty (30) days after the applicable decision by the Committee. The arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement of the Committee and the Participant. If the
Committee and the Participant are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator, no matter how selected, must be neutral within the meaning of the Commercial Rules of
Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator will administer and conduct the arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Rules of Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association. Each side will bear its own fees
and expenses, including its own attorney’s fees, and each side will bear one half of the arbitrator’s fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator will have the discretion to award the prevailing party its fees and expenses.
The arbitrator will have no authority to award 

  

 16 








 
exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, or other extracontractual damages. The decision of the arbitrator on the issue(s) presented for
arbitration will be final and conclusive and any court of competent jurisdiction may enforce it. 
  

	24.	No Right to Employment, Reelection or Continued Service 

 Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment, service on the Board or service for the
Company at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan will
constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its affiliates. This Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on
the part of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its affiliates. 
  

	25.	Financial Statements 

 To the extent required by
applicable law, each Participant will receive a copy of the Company’s annual financial statements.
