 3.    Administration. 

(a)    Authority of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, except to the extent the
Board elects to administer the Plan, in which case the Plan shall be administered by only those directors who are Independent Directors, in which case references herein to the “Committee” shall be deemed to include references to the
Independent members of the Board. The Committee shall have full and final authority, subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to select Eligible Persons to become Participants, grant Awards, determine the type, number and other
terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, Awards, prescribe Award Agreements (which need not be identical for each Participant) and rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, construe and interpret the Plan and Award
Agreements and correct defects, supply omissions or reconcile inconsistencies therein, and to make all other decisions and determinations as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. In exercising any
discretion granted to the Committee under the Plan or pursuant to any Award, the Committee shall not be required to follow past practices, act in a manner consistent with past practices, or treat any Eligible Person or Participant in a manner
consistent with the treatment of other Eligible Persons or Participants. 
 (b)    Manner of Exercise of Committee
Authority. The Committee, and not the Board, shall exercise sole and exclusive discretion on any matter relating to a Participant then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to the extent necessary in
order that transactions by such Participant shall be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company,
its Related Entities, Eligible Persons, Participants, Beneficiaries, transferees under Section 10(b) hereof or other persons claiming rights from or through a Participant, and shareholders. The express grant of any specific power to the
Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. The Committee may delegate to officers or managers of the Company or any Related Entity, or committees thereof, the
authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions, including administrative functions as the Committee may determine to the extent that such delegation will not result in the loss of an exemption under Rule
16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan. 

  
 7 








 (c)    Limitation of Liability. The Committee and the Board,
and each member thereof, shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or Employee, the Company’s independent auditors, Consultants or any other agents assisting in
the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and the Board, and any officer or Employee acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee or the Board, shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in
good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action or determination. 

4.    Shares Subject to Plan. 

(a)    Limitation on Overall Number of Shares Available for Delivery Under Plan. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 10(c) hereof, the total number of Shares reserved and available for delivery under the Plan shall be 40,940,000. Any Shares that are subject to Awards shall be counted against this limit as one (1) Share for every one
(1) Share granted. Any Shares delivered under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. 

(b)    Application of Limitation to Grants of Award. No Award may be granted if the number of Shares to be
delivered in connection with such an Award or, in the case of an Award relating to Shares but settled only in cash (such as cash-only Stock Appreciation Rights), the number of Shares to which such Award relates, exceeds the number of Shares
remaining available for delivery under the Plan, minus the number of Shares deliverable in settlement of or relating to then outstanding Awards. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double
counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute awards) and make adjustments if the number of Shares actually delivered differs from the number of Shares previously counted in connection with an Award. 

(c)    Availability of Shares Not Delivered under Awards and Adjustments to Limits. 

(i)    If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without issuance of such Shares, or
any Award is settled for cash or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Shares subject to such Award, the Shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, again be available for Awards under the Plan, subject to Section 4(c)(v). 

(ii)    In the event that any Option or other Award granted hereunder is exercised through the tendering of Shares
(either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Shares by the Company, or withholding tax liabilities arising from such option or other award are satisfied by the tendering of Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the
withholding of Shares by the Company, then only the number of Shares issued net of the Shares tendered or withheld shall be counted for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for grant under the Plan. 

(iii)    Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan or authorized for grant to a
Participant in any period. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Related Entity or with which the Company or any Related Entity combines has shares available under a
pre-existing plan approved by shareholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for delivery pursuant to the terms of such
pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration
payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for delivery under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available
shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not
Employees or Directors prior to such acquisition or combination. 

  
 8 








 (iv)    Any Share that again becomes available for delivery pursuant to this
Section 4(c) shall be added back as one (1) Share under the Plan. 
 (v)    Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 4(c) to the contrary but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10(c) hereof, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan as a result of the exercise of the Incentive Stock Options shall be
40,940,000 shares. 
 5.    Eligibility; Per-Person Award Limitations. Awards
may be granted under the Plan only to Eligible Persons. In any fiscal year of the Company during any part of which the Plan is in effect, no Participant may be granted (i) Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to more than 1,000,000
Shares or (ii) Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Performance Shares and/or Other Stock-Based Awards with respect to more than 2,000,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10(c) (the “Adjustment”),
provided, however, that the Adjustment will be limited to not less than 1,000,000 Shares for Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and not less than 2,000,000 for Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Performance Shares and/or Other Stock-Based Awards.

 6.    Specific Terms of Awards. 

(a)    General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. In
addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 10(e)), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee
shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service and terms permitting a Participant to make elections relating to his or her Award. The Committee shall retain
full power and discretion to accelerate, waive or modify, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan. Except in cases in which the Committee is authorized to require other forms of consideration under the
Plan, or to the extent other forms of consideration must be paid to satisfy the requirements of Delaware law, no consideration other than services may be required for the grant (as opposed to the exercise) of any Award. 

  
 9 








 (b)    Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to
any Eligible Person on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i)    Exercise Price. Other than in
connection with Substitute Awards, the exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option and shall not, in any event, be less than the par value of
a Share on the date of grant of the Option. If an Employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company (or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the exercise price of such
Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted. 

(ii)    Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which or the
circumstances under which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at which Options shall cease to be or become exercisable following
termination of Continuous Service or upon other conditions, the methods by which the exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid (including in the discretion of the Committee a cashless exercise procedure), the form of such payment, including,
without limitation, cash, Shares (including without limitation the withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the Award), other Awards or awards granted under other plans of the Company or a Related Entity, and the methods by or forms
in which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. 
 (iii)    Incentive Stock
Options. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to
Incentive Stock Options (including any Stock Appreciation Right issued in tandem therewith) shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify either the Plan or
any Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code, unless the Participant has first requested, or consents to, the change that will result in such disqualification. Thus, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 422 of
the Code, Options granted as Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following special terms and conditions: 

(A)    the Option shall not be exercisable for more than ten years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted;
provided, however, that if a Participant owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent corporation or
subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) and the Incentive Stock Option is granted to such Participant, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be (to the
extent required by the Code at the time of the grant) for no more than five years from the date of grant; and 

  
 10 








 (B)    The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the
Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and all other option plans of the Company (and any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are
defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) that become exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year shall not (to the extent required by the Code at the time of the grant) exceed $100,000. 

(iv)    No Option Repricings. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization
(as described in Section 10(c)), the exercise price of an Option may not be Repriced without stockholder approval. 

(c)    Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Eligible Person
in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option (a “Tandem Stock Appreciation Right”), or without regard to any Option (a “Freestanding
Stock Appreciation Right”), in each case upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following: 

(i)    Right to Payment. A Stock Appreciation Right shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a
right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as determined by the Committee. The grant price of a Stock
Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, in the case of a Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right, or less than the associated Option exercise price, in the case of a Tandem Stock
Appreciation Right. 
 (ii)    Other Terms. The Committee shall determine at the date of grant or
thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at
which Stock Appreciation Rights shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of Continuous Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or
forms in which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, whether or not a Stock Appreciation Right shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation
Right. 
 (iii)    Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights. Any Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be granted
at the same time as the related Option is granted or, for Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option. Any Tandem Stock Appreciation Right related to an Option may be exercised
only when the related Option would be exercisable and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the related Option exceeds the exercise price at which Shares can be acquired pursuant to the Option. In addition, if a Tandem Stock Appreciation
Right exists with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option, then an exercise or termination of such Option shall not reduce the number of Shares to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right applies until the number
of Shares then exercisable under such Option equals the number of 

  
 11 








 
Shares to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right applies. Any Option related to a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Tandem Stock Appreciation
Right has been exercised, and any Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Option has been exercised. 

(d)    Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Awards to any Eligible
Person on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i)    Grant and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards
shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, or as otherwise provided in this Plan, covering a period of time specified by the Committee (the
“Restriction Period”). The terms of any Restricted Stock Award granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the
Plan. The restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may
determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Except to the extent restricted under the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award, a Participant granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a
stockholder, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon (subject to any mandatory reinvestment or other requirement imposed by the Committee). During the Restriction Period, subject to
Section 10(b) below, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the Participant. 

(ii)    Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of a
Participant’s Continuous Service during the applicable Restriction Period, the Participant’s Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to a risk of forfeiture that has not lapsed or otherwise been satisfied shall be forfeited and
reacquired by the Company; provided that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Awards shall be waived in whole or
in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes. 
 (iii)    Certificates for Stock.
Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that such certificates
bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, that the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company,
endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock. 
 (iv)    Dividends and Splits. As a condition to
the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may require or permit a Participant to elect that any cash dividends paid on a Share of Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock or applied to the
purchase of additional Awards under the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Shares distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a
risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Shares or other property have been distributed. 

  
 12 








 (e)    Deferred Stock Award. The Committee is authorized to
grant Deferred Stock Awards to any Eligible Person on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i)    Award and
Restrictions. Satisfaction of a Deferred Stock Award shall occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for such Deferred Stock Award by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). In addition,
a Deferred Stock Award shall be subject to such restrictions (which may include a risk of forfeiture) as the Committee may impose, if any, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier specified times (including
based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. A Deferred Stock Award may be satisfied by delivery of Shares, cash equal to
the Fair Market Value of the specified number of Shares covered by the Deferred Stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. Prior to satisfaction of a Deferred Stock Award, a Deferred Stock
Award carries no voting or dividend or other rights associated with Share ownership. 

(ii)    Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of a
Participant’s Continuous Service during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply (as provided in the Award Agreement evidencing the Deferred Stock Award), the Participant’s Deferred Stock Award
that is at that time subject to a risk of forfeiture that has not lapsed or otherwise been satisfied shall be forfeited; provided that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual
case, that forfeiture conditions relating to a Deferred Stock Award shall 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 the forfeiture of
any Deferred Stock Award. 
 (iii)    Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee
at date of grant, any Dividend Equivalents that are granted with respect to any Deferred Stock Award shall be either (A) paid with respect to such Deferred Stock Award at the dividend payment date in cash or in Shares of unrestricted stock
having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or (B) deferred with respect to such Deferred Stock Award and the amount or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional Deferred Stock, other Awards or other
investment vehicles, as the Committee shall determine or permit the Participant to elect. 
 (f)    Bonus Stock
and Awards in Lieu of Obligations. The Committee is authorized to grant Shares to any Eligible Persons as a bonus, or to grant Shares or other Awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory
arrangements, provided that, in the case of Eligible Persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the Committee to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisition of Shares or
other Awards are exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Shares or Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee. 

  
 13 








 (g)    Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to
grant Dividend Equivalents to any Eligible Person entitling the Eligible Person to receive cash, Shares or other Awards equal in value to the regular dividends paid with respect to a specified number of Shares. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on
a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or other investment vehicles,
and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. 

(h)    Performance Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Awards to any Eligible Person
payable in cash, Shares, other Awards or a combination, on terms and conditions established by the Committee, subject to the provisions of Section 8 if and to the extent that the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine that an Award
shall be subject to those provisions. The performance criteria to be achieved during any Performance Period and the length of the Performance Period shall be determined by the Committee upon the grant of each Performance Award. Except as provided in
Section 9 or as may be provided in an Award Agreement, Performance Awards will be distributed only after the end of the relevant Performance Period. The performance goals to be achieved for each Performance Period shall be conclusively
determined by the Committee and may be based upon the criteria set forth in Section 8(b), or in the case of an Award that the Committee determines shall not be subject to Section 8 hereof, any other criteria that the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine should be used for that purpose. The amount of the Award to be distributed shall be conclusively determined by the Committee. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the
Performance Period or, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, on a deferred basis. 

(i)    Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law,
to grant to any Eligible Person such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the
Plan. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan, and such Other Stock-Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards
granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. 
 7.    Certain
Provisions Applicable to Awards. 
 (a)    Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. Awards
granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with, or in substitution for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Related Entity, or any
business entity to be acquired by the Company or a Related Entity, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Related Entity, provided, however, no such substitution shall cause an Award to be Repriced. Such
additional, tandem, and substitute Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution for another Award or award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or award in consideration for the grant of the new
Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any Related Entity, in which the value of Shares subject to the Award is equivalent in value to the
cash compensation (for example, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock), or in which the exercise price, grant price or purchase price of the Award in the nature of a right that may be exercised is equal to the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares
minus the value of the cash compensation surrendered (for example, Options or Stock Appreciation Right granted with an exercise price or grant price “discounted” by the amount of the cash compensation surrendered). 

  
 14 








 (b)    Term of Awards and Vesting Schedule. The term of each
Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided that in no event shall the term of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right exceed a period of ten years (or in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such shorter term as
may be required under Section 422 of the Code). Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the vesting schedule or forfeiture period for Awards shall be at least one (1) year from the date of grant. 

(c)    Form and Timing of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award
Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Related Entity upon the exercise of an Option or other Award or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Shares or
other Awards. 
 (d)    Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is
the intent of the Company that the grant of any Awards to or other transaction by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16 pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions
acknowledged in writing to be non-exempt by such Participant). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule
16b-3 then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule
16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b). 

(e)    Code Section 409A. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Award unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with applicable laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. Without limiting the foregoing, the Plan
is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Committee shall make a good faith effort to interpret and administer the Plan in compliance therewith. Any
payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable laws require otherwise. For purposes of
Section 409A of the Code, each installment payment provided under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties
under Section 409A of the Code, (a) amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of
Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier), and
(b) amounts payable upon the termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service shall only be payable if such termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Company, any Related Entity nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the
Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty. 

  
 15 








 (e)    Clawbacks. The Company shall have the right to recoup or
“claw back” any payment made with respect to an Award under the Plan to the extent necessary to comply with applicable federal securities laws. 

8.    Performance Awards. 

(a)    Section 16 Employees. The Committee, in its discretion, shall follow the process set forth in this
Section 8 for Performance Awards made to Employees subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. 

(b)    Performance Criteria. If an Award is subject to this Section 8, then the lapsing of restrictions
thereon and the distribution of cash or Shares pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be contingent upon achievement of one or more objective performance goals. Performance goals shall be objective financial or operating goals or individually-based
subjective goals established for an Award by the Committee. One or more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for Related Entities, or for business or geographical units of the Company and/or a Related
Entity (except with respect to the total shareholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be considered to be objective financial or operating goals: (1) earnings per share; (2) revenues or margins; (3) cash flow;
(4) operating margin; (5) return on net assets, investment, capital, or equity; (6) economic value added; (7) direct contribution; (8) net income; pretax earnings; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings after interest expense and before extraordinary or special items; operating income; income before interest income or expense, unusual items and income taxes, local, state or federal and
excluding budgeted and actual bonuses which might be paid under any ongoing bonus plans of the Company; (9) working capital; (10) management of fixed costs or variable costs; (11) identification or consummation of investment
opportunities or completion of specified projects in accordance with corporate business plans, including strategic mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; (12) total shareholder return; (13) debt reduction; (14) market share;
(15) entry into new markets, either geographically or by business unit; (16) customer retention and satisfaction; and (17) strategic plan development and implementation, including turnaround plans. Any of the above goals may be
determined on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of
companies that are comparable to the Company. The Committee shall exclude the impact of an event or occurrence which the Committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including without limitation (i) restructurings, discontinued
operations, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (ii) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the
Company’s management, or (iii) a change in accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting principles. 

  
 16 








 (c)    Performance Period. Achievement of performance goals in
respect of Performance Awards shall be measured over a Performance Period as specified by the Committee. 
 9.    Change
in Control. 
 (a)    Effect of a Change in Control. Subject to Section 9(a)(iv), and if and only to
the extent provided in the Award Agreement, or to the extent otherwise determined by the Committee, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, as defined in Section 9(b): 

(i)    Any Option or Stock Appreciation Right that was not previously vested and exercisable as of the time of the Change
in Control, shall become immediately vested and exercisable, subject to applicable restrictions set forth in Section 10(a) hereof. 

(ii)    Any restrictions, deferral of settlement, and forfeiture conditions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award,
Deferred Stock Award or an Other Stock-Based Award subject only to future service requirements granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested as of the time of the Change in Control, except to the extent of any
waiver by the Participant and subject to applicable restrictions set forth in Section 10(a) hereof. 

(iii)    With respect to any outstanding Award subject to achievement of performance goals and conditions under the Plan,
the Committee may, in its discretion, deem such performance goals and conditions as having been met as of the date of the Change in Control. 

(iv)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Award Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the
absolute discretion and approval of the Committee, if in the event of a Change in Control the successor company assumes or substitutes for an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Deferred Stock Award or Other Stock-Based Award,
then each such outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Deferred Stock Award or Other Stock-Based Award shall not be accelerated as described in Sections 9(a)(i), (ii) and (iii). For the purposes of this
Section 9(a)(iv), an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Deferred Stock Award or Other Stock-Based Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Change in Control the Award confers the right to
purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Deferred Stock Award or Other Stock-Based Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other
securities or property) received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor company or its parent or
subsidiary, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary, provide that the consideration to be received upon the exercise or vesting of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Deferred
Stock Award or Other Stock-Based Award, for each Share subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
Shares in the transaction constituting a Change in Control. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding. 

  
 17 








 (b)    Definition of Change in Control. Unless otherwise
specified in an Award Agreement, a “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(i)    The acquisition by any Person of Beneficial Ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than fifty percent (50%) of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common
Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”) (the
foregoing Beneficial Ownership hereinafter being referred to as a “Controlling Interest”); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 9(b), the following acquisitions shall not constitute or result in a Change
in Control: (u) any acquisition directly from the Company; (v) any acquisition by the Company; (w) any acquisition by any Person that as of the Effective Date owns Beneficial Ownership of a Controlling Interest; (x) any
acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Related Entity; (y) any acquisition by Dr. Phillip Frost or by any Person controlled by Dr. Phillip Frost, including, but not
limited to, the Frost Gamma Investments Trust or (z) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subsection (iii) below; or 

(ii)    During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the Effective Date)
individuals who constitute the Board on the Effective Date (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to
the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a
member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or 

(iii)    Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction
involving the Company or any of its Related Entities, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or equity of another entity by the Company or any of its Related Entities (each
a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the Beneficial Owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of the then outstanding equity securities and the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of members of the board of directors (or comparable governing body of an entity that does not have such a board), as the case may be, of the entity
resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries)
in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any
employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination or any Person that as of the Effective Date owns Beneficial Ownership of a Controlling Interest) beneficially owns, directly or
indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the then outstanding equity securities of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity except to the
extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or other governing body of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the
Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or 

  
 18 








 (iv)    Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 10.    General Provisions. 

(a)    Compliance With Legal and Other Requirements. The Company may, to the extent deemed necessary or
advisable by the Committee, postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of other benefits under any Award until completion of such registration or qualification of such Shares or other required action under any federal or state law, rule
or regulation, listing or other required action with respect to any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares or other Company securities are listed or quoted, or compliance with any other obligation of the Company, as the
Committee, may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations, furnish such information and comply with or be subject to such other conditions as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or
delivery of Shares or payment of other benefits in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, listing requirements, or other obligations. 

(b)    Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries. No Award or other right or interest granted under the Plan
shall be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant to any party, or assigned or transferred by such Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
to a Beneficiary upon the death of a Participant, and such Awards or rights that may be exercisable shall be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative, except that Awards
and other rights (other than Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in tandem therewith) may be transferred to one or more Beneficiaries or other transferees during the lifetime of the Participant, and may be exercised by such
transferees in accordance with the terms of such Award, but only if and to the extent such transfers are permitted by the Committee pursuant to the express terms of an Award Agreement (subject to any terms and conditions which the Committee may
impose thereon). A Beneficiary, transferee, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant, except as
otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. 

  
 19 








 (c)    Adjustments. 

(i)    Adjustments to Awards. In the event that any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether
in the form of cash, Shares, or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution
or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares and/or such other securities of the Company or any other issuer such that a substitution, exchange, or adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate, then the Committee
shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, substitute, exchange or adjust any or all of (A) the number and kind of Shares which may be delivered in connection with Awards granted thereafter, (B) the number and kind of Shares by which
annual per-person Award limitations are measured under Section 5 hereof, (C) the number and kind of Shares subject to or deliverable in respect of outstanding Awards, (D) the exercise price,
grant price or purchase price relating to any Award and/or make provision for payment of cash or other property in respect of any outstanding Award, and (E) any other aspect of any Award that the Committee determines to be appropriate. 

(ii)    Adjustments in Case of Certain Transactions. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other
reorganization in which the Company does not survive, or in the event of any Change in Control, any outstanding Awards may be dealt with in accordance with any of the following approaches, as determined by the agreement effectuating the transaction
or, if and to the extent not so determined, as determined by the Committee: (A) the continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving entity, (B) the assumption or substitution for, as those terms are
defined in Section 9(b)(iv) hereof, the outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent or subsidiary, (C) full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards, or (D) settlement of the value of
the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents or other property followed by cancellation of such Awards (which value, in the case of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, shall be measured by the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value
of a Share exceeds the exercise or grant price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as of the effective date of the transaction). The Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 10(c)(ii) a
reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after the approval of such transaction), in order that Participants may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date
of such transaction within which to exercise any Awards that are then exercisable (including any Awards that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction). A Participant may condition his exercise of any Awards upon the
consummation of the transaction. 
 (iii)    Other Adjustments. The Committee (and the Board if and only
to the extent such authority is not required to be exercised by the Committee to comply with relevant provisions of the Code) is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards (including
Performance Awards, or performance goals relating thereto) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets) affecting the Company, any Related Entity or any
business unit, or the financial statements of the Company or any Related Entity, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, tax rates and regulations or business conditions or in view of the Committee’s
assessment of the business strategy of the Company, any Related Entity or business unit thereof, performance of comparable organizations, economic and business conditions, personal performance of a Participant, and any other circumstances deemed
relevant. 

  
 20 








 (d)    Taxes. The Company and any Related Entity are authorized
to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any payroll or other payment to a Participant, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in
connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company or any Related Entity and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other
tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Shares and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax obligations, either on a mandatory or elective basis
in the discretion of the Committee, subject to compliance with applicable law. 
 (e)    Amendment and Termination
of the Plan or Awards. The Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards under the Plan, or any Award Agreement, without the consent of stockholders or
Participants, except that any such amendment shall be subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company in the manner and to the extent required by applicable law (including applicable stock exchange requirements). In addition, without limiting
the foregoing, unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, no such amendment shall be made that would: 

(i)    materially increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan,
other than an increase pursuant to Section 10(c); 
 (ii)    reduce the minimum exercise price for
Options granted under the Plan; 
 (iii)    Reprice any outstanding Awards, other than in connection
with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 10(c)); or 

(iv)    change the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Board or Committee action may materially and adversely
affect the rights of such Participant under any previously granted and outstanding Award. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Award, unless agreed to in a writing signed
by the Participant and the Company. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto, except as otherwise provided in
the Plan; provided that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee or the Board action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award. 

  
 21 








 (f)    Limitation on Rights Conferred Under Plan. Neither the
Plan nor any action taken hereunder or under any Award shall be construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or Participant or in the employ or service of the Company or a Related
Entity; (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company or a Related Entity to terminate any Eligible Person’s or Participant’s Continuous Service at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or Participant any claim to
be granted any Award under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other Participants and Employees, or (iv) conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company including, without limitation, any right to receive
dividends or distributions, any right to vote or act by written consent, any right to attend meetings of stockholders or any right to receive any information concerning the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation or
prospects, unless and until such time as the Participant is duly issued Shares on the stock books of the Company in accordance with the terms of an Award. None of the Company, its officers or its directors shall have any fiduciary obligation to the
Participant with respect to any Awards unless and until the Participant is duly issued Shares pursuant to the Award on the stock books of the Company in accordance with the terms of an Award. Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s
officers, directors, representatives or agents are granting any rights under the Plan to the Participant whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, other than those rights expressly set forth in this Plan or the Award Agreement. 

(g)    Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Plan is intended to constitute an
“unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant or obligation to deliver Shares pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such
Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts and deposit therein cash or Shares, or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s
obligations under the Plan. Such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant. The trustee of such trusts
may be authorized to dispose of trust assets and reinvest the proceeds in alternative investments, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify and in accordance with applicable law. 

(h)    Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the
shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable. 

(i)    Payments in the Event of Forfeitures; Fractional Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, in the event of a forfeiture of an Award with respect to which a Participant paid cash or other consideration, the Participant shall be repaid the amount of such cash or other consideration. No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be
forfeited or otherwise eliminated. 

  
 22 








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

(k)    Non-U.S. Laws. The Committee shall have the authority to
adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its Related Entities may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from

 EXHIBIT A 

OPTIONS – ADDENDUM 

France 
 The Committee has determined that
it is necessary and advisable to establish a sub-plan for the purpose of permitting options to qualify for the French specific tax and social security treatment. Therefore, options granted under the

(the “French Participants”) of its Related Entities may be granted under the terms of this Addendum as follows: 
  

	1.	Definitions: 

 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set
forth in the Plan and in the Option Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Addendum and the Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail except for the following additional
terms that shall be defined as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	Grant Date: the term “Grant Date” shall be the date on which the Board or the Committee (i) designates the French Participant(s), (ii) sets up the Exercise Price of the options, and (iii) specifies
the terms and conditions of the options. 

  

	 	•	 	Related Entities: the term “Related Entities” means the companies within the meaning of Article L. 225-197-2 of the French
Commercial Code or any provision substituted for same. 

  

	2.	Specific conditions laid down under this Addendum: 

  

	1)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, options granted to any Participant who is a consultant, an “Administrateur,” or a member of the “Conseil de Surveillance,” as these terms are defined
in French Corporate law, and who does not have a work contract with the Company or its Related Companies will be deemed to have not been granted an option pursuant to this Addendum. 


 

	2)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of options offered through the Plan cannot exceed one third of the capital of the Company. This limit is reduced to 10% of the company capital if the options
are granted over treasury shares. 

  

	3)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no option can be granted to a French Participant who holds directly or indirectly more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s share capital. 


 








	4)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any option with an Exercise Price on the Grant Date of the option that is less than 80% of the average of the market value of the underlying share during the twenty
(20) trading days (using opening quotation) preceding the Grant Date shall be deemed to have not been granted under this Addendum. In addition, with respect to options to purchase existing shares, any option with an Exercise Price that is less
than 80% of the average price paid by the Company to buy back the Shares it holds as at Grant Date shall be deemed to have not been granted under this Addendum.

capital increase subscription rights (“détachement du coupon”).

	8)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Exercise Price of an option shall be adjusted only upon the occurrence of the events under section L.225-181 of the French
Commercial Code. Any reduction by the Company, to the Exercise Price of an outstanding and unexercised option previously issued under this Addendum, to the current Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares shall be deemed to not have been an option
granted under this Addendum. 

  

	9)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of the death of a French Participant, the heirs of such French Participant shall have a six (6)-month period from the date of such French Participant’s
death, to exercise all or part of the options held by such French Participant on the day of his death regardless of whether or not they are vested. As a consequence, all the options held by such French Participant which have not yet been exercised
by his/her heirs upon the expiration of the aforementioned six (6)-month period, shall be definitively and automatically forfeited.
