 ARTICLE 1 
 PURPOSE 
  
 1.1 GENERAL. The purpose of the SCG Holding Corporation 2000
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the success and enhance the value of SCG Holding Corporation (the “Company”) by linking the personal interests of its members of the Board, employees, officers, and executives of,
and consultants and advisors to, the Company to those of Company stockholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance in order to generate superior returns to shareholders of the Company. The Plan is further
intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of members of the Board, employees, officers, and executives of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company upon whose judgment, interest,
and special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely dependent. 
  
 ARTICLE 2 
 EFFECTIVE DATE 
  
 2.1 EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan is effective as of the date the Plan is approved by the Board (the
“Effective Date”). Within 12 months of the Effective Date, the Plan must be approved by the Company’s shareholders. The Plan will be deemed to be approved by the shareholders if it receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of stock of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company’s Bylaws or by written consent of a majority of the Company’s
shareholders in lieu of a meeting. Any awards granted under the Plan prior to shareholder approval are effective when made (unless the Committee specifies otherwise at the time of grant), but no Award may be exercised or settled and no restrictions
relating to any Award may lapse before the Plan is approved by the shareholders as provided above. If the shareholders fail to approve the Plan, any Award previously made shall be automatically canceled without any further act.

 Stock Option shall lapse, unless it is previously exercised, on the earlier of (i) the date on which the
Option would have lapsed had the Participant not become Disabled or lived and had his employment status (i.e., whether the Participant was employed by the Company on the date of his Disability or death or had previously terminated employment)
remained unchanged; or (ii) 12 months after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment on account of Disability or death. Upon the Participant’s Disability or death, any Incentive Stock Options exercisable at the

Agreement. 
  
 10.2 ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS.
Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the

 restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited, provided, however,
that the Committee may provide in any Restricted Stock Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the
Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock. 
  
 10.4 CERTIFICATES FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall

and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse. 
  
 ARTICLE 11 
 PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

  
 11.1 PURPOSE. The purpose of this Article 11
is to provide the Committee the ability to qualify the Performance Share Awards under Article 9 and the Restricted Stock Awards under Article 10 as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee, in its
discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Article 11 shall control over any contrary provision contained in Articles 9 or 10. 
  
 11.2 APPLICABILITY. This Article 11 shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the Committee to
receive Performance-Based Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Restricted Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards to Covered Employees that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 11. The designation of a Covered Employee as
a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation
of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other
period. 
  
 11.3 DISCRETION OF COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO
PERFORMANCE AWARDS. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type of Performance-Based Awards to be issued, the kind and/or level of the
Performance Goal, and whether the Performance Goal is to apply to the Company, a Subsidiary or any division or business unit thereof. 
  
 11.4 PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company
or a Subsidiary on the last day of the Performance Period to be eligible for a Performance Award for such Performance Period. Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment under a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period
only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. In determining the actual size of an individual Performance-Based Award, 
  

 11 








 the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in
its sole and absolute discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. 
  
 11.5 MAXIMUM AWARD PAYABLE. The maximum Performance-Based Award payable to any one Participant under the Plan for a Performance Period is 2,500,000 shares of Stock, or in the event the Performance-Based
Award is paid in cash, such maximum Performance-Based Award shall be determined by multiplying 2,500,000 by the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock as of the date of grant of the Performance-Based Award. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
 TAKE OWNERSHIP GRANTS 
  
 12.1 TAKE OWNERSHIP GRANTS. The Take Ownership Grants shall be awarded to Participants selected by the Committee and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) EFFECTIVE DATE OF GRANTS. The effective date of the Take Ownership Grants
shall be on the day on which the Company’s initial public offering of Stock is consummated; provided, however, that Take Ownership Grants shall not be made to those persons who are not United States residents if the jurisdiction in which any
such person resides prohibits such Grants or makes it impractical for the Company to make such Grants. 
  
 (b) EXERCISE PRICE FOR GRANTS. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the exercise price per share of Stock under the Take Ownership Grants shall be
the price at which the Company’s Stock is offered under its initial public offering of Stock (“IPO Price”), provided, however, that, with respect to Participants who do not reside in the United States, if the day on which the Company
receives approval by the applicable foreign jurisdiction to offer Stock to Participants residing in that jurisdiction is later than the day on which the Company’s initial public offering becomes effective, the exercise price per share of Stock
under the Take Ownership Grants shall be the Fair Market Value on the day on which the Company receives approval by the applicable foreign jurisdiction to offer Stock to such Participants. 
  
 (c) AMOUNT OF THE TAKE OWNERSHIP GRANTS. Each Participant selected to receive
a Take Ownership Grant shall be entitled to receive an Option to purchase 50 shares of Stock. Such Option shall be designated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
  

(d) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Take Ownership Grants shall become fully exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant.

  
 (e) PAYMENT. The Committee shall determine the methods by
which the exercise price of the Take Ownership Grants may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, promissory note, shares of Stock (through actual tender or by attestation), or other property (including broker-assisted
“cashless exercise” arrangements), and the methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. 
  

 12 








 (f) EVIDENCE OF GRANT. All Take Ownership Grants shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement between
the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall provide that upon a Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason, the Participant may, at any time within 90 days after the
effective date of the Participant’s termination, exercise the Take Ownership Grant to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Take Ownership Grant at the date of termination, provided that in no event shall the Take
Ownership Grant be exercisable after its expiration date, as provided in the Award Agreement. The Award Agreement shall also include such other provisions as determined by the Committee. 
  
 ARTICLE 13 
 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
  
 13.1
STAND-ALONE AND TANDEM AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or
in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 
  
 13.2 EXCHANGE PROVISIONS. The Committee may at any time offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash,
Stock, or another Award, based on the terms and conditions the Committee determines and communicates to the Participant at the time the offer is made. 
  
 13.3 TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term
of any Incentive Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with the Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant. 
  
 13.4 FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award Agreement,
payments or transfers to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee determines at or after the time of grant, including without limitation, cash, promissory note, Stock,
other Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee.

  
 13.5 LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of
a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than
the Company or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 13.6 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 13.5, a Participant
may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the 
  

 13 








 Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary,
legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement
otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his beneficiary with respect to more than 50
% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the written consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled
thereto under the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the
Committee. 
  
 13.7 STOCK CERTIFICATES.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Awards, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of
counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded.
All Stock certificates delivered under the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with Federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and
regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.
In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws,
regulations, or requirements. 
  
 13.8 ACCELERATION UPON A
CHANGE OF CONTROL. At the time of the grant of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other Award or any time thereafter, the Board shall have the authority and discretion, but shall not have any obligation, to provide for the acceleration
of the vesting and exercisability of any outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other Award upon a Change in Control. 
  
 ARTICLE 14 
 CHANGES IN CAPITAL
STRUCTURE 
  
 14.1 GENERAL. 
  
 (a) SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANT. In the event of any change in the number of
shares of Stock outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or similar corporate change, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which the
Committee may grant Awards shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Stock outstanding by reason of any other event or transaction, the Committee may, but need not, make such adjustments
in the number and class of shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted as the Committee may deem appropriate. 
  

 14 








 (b) OUTSTANDING AWARDS—INCREASE OR DECREASE IN ISSUED SHARES WITHOUT CONSIDERATION. Subject to any
required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the
shares of Stock), or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall proportionally adjust the number of shares of Stock subject to each outstanding
Award and the exercise price per share of Stock of each such Award. 
  
 (c) OUTSTANDING AWARDS—CERTAIN MERGERS. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event that the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or
consolidation as a result of which the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities which a holder of the
number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have received in such merger or consolidation. 
  
 (d) OUTSTANDING AWARDS—CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, (iii) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iv) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving
corporation but the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation and/or other property, including cash, the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, have the power to: 
  
 (1) cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of
such event, each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Award was granted an amount in cash, for each share of Stock
subject to such Award, respectively, equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Stock as a result of such event over (B) the
exercise of such Award; or 
  
 (2) provide for
the exchange of each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) for an option, a stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance share award or performance-based award with respect to, as
appropriate, some or all of the property for which such Award is exchanged and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion in the exercise price or value of the option, stock appreciate
right, restricted stock award, performance share award or performance-based award or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance share award or performance-based
award or, if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to the Participant to whom such Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Award. 
  

 15 








 (e) OUTSTANDING AWARDS—OTHER CHANGES. In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the
Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in Article 14, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to Awards outstanding on the date on which such
change occurs and in the per share exercise price of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. 
  
 (f) NO OTHER RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of
shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly
provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of
Stock subject to an Award or the exercise price of any Award. 
  
 ARTICLE 15 
 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION 
  
 15.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. With the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to
time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any
Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required. 
  
 15.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including without limitation, the provisions of Article 14, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any
material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant. 
  
 ARTICLE 16 
 PROVISIONS RELATING TO FRENCH EMPLOYEES 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the
following provisions shall apply to Awards granted to any employee who is a French citizen or who works primarily in France as of the grant date (referred to herein as “French Employee”).

herein, no French Employee who would otherwise be considered a consultant under French law may be granted an Award under the Plan. 
  
 16.2 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The last sentence of Section 3.1(d) (definition of Cause) shall not apply to French Employees. 
  
 16.3 TEN PERCENT OWNERS. Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a) above,

 16 








 16.4 EXERCISE PRICE. Notwithstanding Section 7.1(a) above, all Awards granted to French
Employees shall be granted at an exercise price per share equal to Fair Market Value per share as of the grant date. 
  
 16.5 TIME LIMITATIONS. No Options shall be granted to any French Employee five years after the later of (a) the date the Company’s
stockholders initially approved the Plan, or (b) the date the Plan has been subsequently re-authorized, in its original form or as amended from time to time by the Board, by the Company’s stockholders. 
  
 16.6 VESTING OF OPTIONS. Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b) above,
no portion of any Award granted to a French Employee shall become exercisable before the five-year anniversary of the grant date. 
  
 16.7 EFFECT OF PARTICIPANT’S DEATH. Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b) or any other provision hereof, upon a French Employee’s death,
the vested portion of such Participant’s Award shall remain exercisable for a period of six months after the date of his death and shall be exercisable by his heirs. 
  
 16.8 EXCHANGE OF OPTIONS. Notwithstanding Section 13.2 above, the Company shall not terminate any portion of
an Award granted to any French Employee.

OF OPTIONS. Notwithstanding Section 14.1 herein, any adjustment made to any Award granted to a French Employee shall comply with applicable French law. 
  

ARTICLE 17 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS

  
 17.1 NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Participant,
employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly. 
  
 17.2 NO STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS. No Award gives the Participant any
of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 
  
 17.3 WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to
remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. With the
Committee’s consent, a Participant may elect to have the Company withhold from those Stock that would otherwise be received upon the exercise of any Option, a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount
necessary to satisfy the Company’s applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding obligations. 
  
 17.4 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company or any 
  

 17 








 Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 17.5 UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan
or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 17.6 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or
in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her provided he or
she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. 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 Articles 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. 
  
 17.7 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan
shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 17.8 EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be
borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
  
 17.9 TITLES
AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
  
 17.10 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of stock shall be
issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate. 
  
 17.11 SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. With respect to any person who
is, on the relevant date, obligated to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any
provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be void to the extent permitted by law and voidable as deemed advisable by the Committee. 
  
 17.12 GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or
otherwise shall be subject to all applicable 
  

 18 








 laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under
no obligation to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any of the shares of Stock paid under the Plan. If the shares paid under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. 
  
 17.13 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware.
