Plan, including the power and authority: 
 (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be
granted; 
 (ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any, of Incentive Stock Options,
Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Deferred Stock Awards and Unrestricted Stock Awards, or any combination of the foregoing, granted to any one or more grantees;

(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(c), to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be

include a limitation as to the amount of Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the conversion ratio
or price of other Awards and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Administrator’s delegate or delegates that were
consistent with the terms of the Plan. 
 (d) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Committee, nor any member of
either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Committee (and any delegate thereof) shall be
entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent
permitted by law and/or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company. 

SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION  

(a) Stock Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3, the maximum number of shares of Stock reserved as
available for issuance under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of (A) 7,973,725 (which represents the sum of the original number of 723,725 shares authorized by stockholders on April 12, 2006, an additional 3,000,000 shares authorized by
stockholders on April 18, 2007, an additional 1,850,000 authorized by the stockholders on April 9, 2009, and an additional 2,400,000 authorized by the Board on February 23, 2012 (subject to stockholder approval)), plus (B) the
number of shares of Stock underlying any grants under the Company’s Stock Option Plan that are forfeited, canceled or are terminated (other than by exercise) after March 10, 2006. 

(b) Add-Back of Certain Shares. If (i) any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, an Award expires, or is canceled or
otherwise terminated, (ii) shares are tendered by a grantee or withheld by the Company in payment of the purchase price of an Option, or to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award, (iii) shares subject to a Stock
Appreciation Right are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof or (vi) any shares subject to an award under the Company’s Stock Option Plan are forfeited, or an award under the
Company’s Stock Option Plan expires or is settled for cash (in whole or in part), in each case, the shares subject to such Award or award under the Company’s Stock Option Plan shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration,
cancellation, tender or cash settlement, again be available for Awards under the Plan. 
 (c) Intentionally Omitted.

 (d) Individual Limitations. Shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of
Award; provided, however, that Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to no more than 1,000,000 shares of Stock may be granted to any one individual grantee during any one calendar year period. In addition, no more than 1,000,000
shares of Stock may be issued pursuant to the Plan as Incentive Stock Options. 
 (e) Character of Shares. Any shares of
Stock issued hereunder may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market or otherwise. 
 (f) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(g) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different
shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or
proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that can be granted to any one individual grantee and the maximum number of
shares that may be granted under a Performance-based Award or as Incentive Stock Options, (iii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iv) the repurchase price, if any, per
share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (v) the price for each share subject to any 

  
 3 








 
then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan
resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares. 
 The Administrator shall also adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards in a proportionate manner to take into consideration
material changes in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or any other similar event to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, provided that no such adjustment shall be
made in the case of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, without the consent of the grantee, if it would constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. 

(g) Mergers and Other Transactions. In the case of and subject to the consummation of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (iii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which the outstanding shares of Stock are
converted into or exchanged for a different kind of securities of the successor entity and the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the
successor entity immediately upon completion of such transaction, or (iv) the sale of all of the Stock of the Company to an unrelated person or entity (in each case, a “Sale Event”), all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are
not exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Sale Event shall become fully exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event and all other Awards shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the
Sale Event, except as the Administrator may otherwise specify with respect to particular Awards in the relevant Award documentation, and Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and
nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Administrator’s discretion. Upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate, unless provision is made in connection with the
Sale Event in the sole discretion of the parties thereto for the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with
appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder). In the event of such termination, each grantee shall
be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by such grantee, including those that will become
exercisable upon the consummation of the Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Sale Event. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 3(g), in the event of a Sale Event pursuant to which holders of the Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the Sale Event, the Company
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the
value as determined by the Administrator of the consideration payable per share of Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the
extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 (h) Substitute Awards. The Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees, directors or other key persons of another corporation in
connection with the merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the
substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers appropriate in the circumstances. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the Plan or the applicable limitations for grant to a
grantee under Section 3(d) or 10(d), nor shall shares subject to a Substitute Award again be available for Awards under the Plan to the extent of any forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement as provided in paragraph (b) above.

 SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY  

Grantees under the Plan will be such officers and other employees, Non-Employee Directors and key persons (including consultants and
prospective employees) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its discretion. 

SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS  
 (a) Grant of Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. 

Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be
deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as
the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.

 (b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this
Section 5 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the
option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. 

(c) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more
than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant. 

(d) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in
installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only
as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. 
 (e) Method of
Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods
to the extent provided in the Option Award agreement: 
 (i) In cash, by certified or bank check or other
instrument acceptable to the Administrator; 
 (ii) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of
shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value
on the exercise date. To the extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under FAS 123R or other applicable accounting rules, such surrendered shares shall have been owned by the optionee for at least six months; or 

(iii) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions
to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall
comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. 
 Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the
exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of
any other requirements contained in the Option Award agreement or applicable provisions of laws (including the 

  
 5 








 
satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned
shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares attested to. 

(f) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under
Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and
subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS  
 (a) Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the
Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right, which price shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant (or more than the option exercise price per share, if
the Stock Appreciation Right was granted in tandem with a Stock Option) multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. 

(b) Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator in tandem with,
or independently of, any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the
time of the grant of such Option. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, such Stock Appreciation Right may be granted only at the time of the grant of the Option. 

A Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted in tandem with a Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be
exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option. 
 (c) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation
Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator, subject to the following: 

(i) The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
date of grant. 
 (ii) Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options shall be exercisable at such time
or times and to the extent that the related Stock Options shall be exercisable. 
 (iii) Upon exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right, the applicable portion of any related Option shall be surrendered. 
 (iv) No Stock
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. 
 SECTION 7.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS  
 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award is an
Award entitling the recipient to acquire, at such purchase price (which may be zero) as determined by the Administrator, shares of Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant
(“Restricted Stock”). Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award is contingent on the
grantee executing the Restricted Stock Award agreement. The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. 

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon execution of a written instrument setting forth the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any
applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Stock, subject to such conditions contained in the written instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Award. 

Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Stock shall be accompanied by a notation on the
records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until 

  
 6 








 
such Restricted Stock are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is
vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe. 

(c) Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except
as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 15 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued,
if any, if a grantee’s employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Stock that has not vested at the time of termination shall automatically and without any
requirement of notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at its original purchase price from such grantee or such grantee’s legal representative simultaneously
with such termination of employment (or other service relationship), and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of unvested
Restricted Stock that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration. 
 (d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions
on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Stock and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such Restricted Stock shall have a performance-based goal, the
restriction period with respect to such shares shall not be less than one year, and in the event any such Restricted Stock shall have a time-based restriction, the total restriction period with respect to such shares shall not be less than three
years; provided, however, that Restricted Stock with a time-based restriction may become vested incrementally over such three-year period. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives
and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Stock and shall be deemed “vested.” Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to
Section 15 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued, a grantee’s rights in any shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or other service
relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries and such shares shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7(c) above. 
 (e) Dividends. A grantee shall have the right to receive dividends paid with respect to his shares of Restricted Stock; provided, however, if the vesting of the Restricted Stock Award is subject to
the attainment of performance goals, any dividends paid by the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Award prior to the attainment of such performance goals shall accrue and shall not be paid to the grantee until and only to the extent the
performance goals are attained and the Restricted Stock Award is earned. 
 SECTION 8. DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS 

 (a) Nature of Deferred Stock Awards. A Deferred Stock Award is an Award of phantom stock units to a grantee,
subject to restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.
The grant of a Deferred Stock Award is contingent on the grantee executing the Deferred Stock Award agreement. The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among
individual Awards and grantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such Deferred Stock Award shall have a performance-based goal, the restriction period with respect to such award shall not be less than one year, and in the event
any such Deferred Stock Award shall have a time-based restriction, the total restriction period with respect to such award shall not be less than three years; provided, however, that any Deferred Stock Award with a time-based restriction may become
vested incrementally over such three-year period. The minimum restriction period requirements of the preceding sentence shall not apply to Deferred Stock Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors or consultants. At the end of the deferral period, the
Deferred Stock Award, to the extent vested, shall be paid to the grantee in the form of shares of Stock. 
 (b) Election to
Receive Deferred Stock Awards in Lieu of Compensation. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of a Deferred Stock Award.
Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the 

  
 7 








 
Company no later than the date specified by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. The Administrator
shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any such deferred compensation shall
be converted to a fixed number of phantom stock units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee but for the deferral. 

(c) Rights as a Stockholder. During the deferral period, a grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder; provided, however, that
the grantee may be credited with dividend equivalent rights with respect to the phantom stock units underlying his Deferred Stock Award, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
vesting of the Deferred Stock Award is subject to the attainment of performance goals, any Dividend Equivalent Rights accrued with respect to the Deferred Stock Award prior to the attainment of such performance goals shall not be paid to the
grantee until and only to the extent the performance goals are attained and the Deferred Stock Award is earned. 
 (d)
Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 15 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued, a grantee’s right in all Deferred Stock Awards that
have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 
 SECTION 9. UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS  
 Grant
or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any grantee pursuant to which such grantee
may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such
grantee. 
 SECTION 10. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Restricted Stock Award or Deferred Stock Award granted to a Covered
Employee is intended to qualify as “Performance-based Compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a “Performance-based Award”), such Award shall comply with the provisions set
forth below: 
 (a) Performance Criteria. The performance criteria (“Performance Criteria”) used in performance
goals governing Performance-based Awards granted to Covered Employees may include any or all of the following objectives, described as such objectives relate to Company-wide objectives or of the subsidiary, division, department or function with the
Company or subsidiary in which the Covered Employee is employed: (i) market value; (ii) book value; (iii) earnings per share; (iv) market share; (v) operating profit; (vi) net income; (vii) cash flow;
(viii) return on capital; (ix) return on assets; (x) return on equity; (xi) margins; (xii) total shareholder return; (xiii) sales or product volume growth; (xiv) productivity improvement; (xv) costs or
expenses; (xvi) net debt reduction; (xvii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (xviii) unit volume; (xix) net sales; (xx) balance sheet measurements; (xxi) selling, general and administrative
expense; (xxii) revenue or (xxiii) any other objective value-based performance measure. Performance Criteria may be measured in absolute terms or as compared to the results of a peer group or index. 

(b) Grant of Performance-based Awards. With respect to each Performance-based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Committee
shall select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the Performance Criteria for such grant, and the achievement targets with respect to each
performance criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-based Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount payable,
upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The Performance Criteria established by the Committee may be (but need not be) different for each Performance Cycle and different goals may be applicable to Performance-based Awards to
different Covered Employees. 
 (c) Payment of Performance-based Awards. Following the completion of a Performance Cycle,
the Committee shall meet to review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Criteria for the Performance Cycle have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate and certify in writing the amount of the


  
 8 








 
Performance-based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The Committee shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee’s Performance-based Award, and, in doing so, may reduce
or eliminate the amount of the Performance-based Award for a Covered Employee if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. 
 (d) Maximum Award Payable. The maximum performance-based award payable to any one Covered Employee under the Plan for a performance cycle is 500,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 3 hereof). 
 SECTION 11. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS  

(a) Transferability. Except as provided in Section 11(b) below, during a grantee’s lifetime, his or her Awards shall be
exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee’s incapacity. 
 No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in
part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void. 

(b) Committee Action. Notwithstanding Section 11(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award
agreement regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer his or her Awards (other than any Incentive Stock Options) to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the
benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable
Award. 
 (c) Family Member. For purposes of Section 11(b), “family member” shall mean a grantee’s
child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person
sharing the grantee’s household (other than a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) control the
management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests. 
 (d) Designation of Beneficiary. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award
payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased
grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate. 

SECTION 12. TAX WITHHOLDING  
 (a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross
income of the grantee for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with
respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver evidence of
book entry (or stock certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee. 
 (b) Payment in Stock. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee may elect to have the Company’s minimum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by
(i) authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due,
or (ii) transferring to the Company shares of Stock owned by the grantee with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

 SECTION 13. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION UNDER
SECTION 409A. 
 In the event any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan is granted with an
exercise price of less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (regardless of whether or not such exercise price is intentionally or unintentionally priced at less than Fair Market Value), or such grant is materially modified
and deemed a new grant at a time when the Fair Market Value exceeds the exercise price, or any other Award is otherwise determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A
Award”), the following additional conditions shall apply and shall supersede any contrary provisions of this Plan or the terms of any agreement relating to such 409A Award. 

(a) Exercise and Distribution. Except as provided in Section 13(b) hereof, no 409A Award shall be exercisable or
distributable earlier than upon one of the following: 
 (i) Specified Time. A specified time or a fixed
schedule set forth in the written instrument evidencing the 409A Award. 
 (ii) Separation from Service.
Separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A) by the 409A Award grantee; provided, however, that if the 409A Award grantee is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(1) of the Code and
regulations promulgated thereunder), exercise or distribution under this Section 13(a)(ii) may not be made before the date that is six months after the date of separation from service. 

(iii) Death. The date of death of the 409A Award grantee. 

(iv) Disability. The date the 409A Award grantee becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 13(c)(ii)
hereof). 
 (v) Unforeseeable Emergency. The occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency (within the meaning
of Section 13(c)(iii) hereof), but only if the net value (after payment of the exercise price) of the number of shares of Stock that become issuable does not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay
taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the exercise, after taking into account the extent to which the emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the grantee’s other
assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship). 
 (vi) Change in
Control Event. The occurrence of a Change in Control Event (within the meaning of Section 13(c)(i) hereof), including the Company’s discretionary exercise of the right to accelerate vesting of such grant upon a Change in Control Event
or to terminate the Plan or any 409A Award granted hereunder within 12 months of the Change in Control Event. 
 (b) No
Acceleration. A 409A Award may not be accelerated or exercised prior to the time specified in Section 13(a) hereof, except in the case of one of the following events: 

(i) Domestic Relations Order. The 409A Award may permit the acceleration of the exercise or distribution time or
schedule to an individual other than the grantee as may be necessary to comply with the terms of a domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code). 

(ii) Conflicts of Interest. The 409A Award may permit the acceleration of the exercise or distribution time or
schedule as may be necessary to comply with the terms of a certificate of divestiture (as defined in Section 1043(b)(2) of the Code). 
 (iii) Change in Control Event. The Administrator may exercise the discretionary right to accelerate the vesting of such 409A Award upon a Change in Control Event or to terminate the Plan or any
409A Award granted thereunder within 12 months of the Change in Control Event and cancel the 409A Award for compensation. 
 (c)
Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 13 and not for other purposes of the Plan, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below: 
 (i) “Change in Control Event” means the occurrence of a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the assets of the Company (as defined in Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the regulations promulgated under Section 409A). 

  
 10 









 (ii) “Disabled” means a grantee who (i) is unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (ii) is,
by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not
less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries. 

(iii) “Unforeseeable Emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the grantee resulting from an
illness or accident of the grantee, the grantee’s spouse, or a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code) of the grantee, loss of the grantee’s property due to casualty, or similar extraordinary and unforeseeable
circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the grantee. 
 SECTION 14. TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.
 
 For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment: 

(a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another;
or 
 (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if
the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing. 

SECTION 15. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION  
 The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful
purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including without limitation, any stock dividend, stock
split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares) as provided in Section 3(f) or 3(g), unless there is stockholder approval, the terms of
outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Any material Plan amendments (other than amendments that curtail the scope of the Plan), including any Plan
amendments that (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) expand the type of Awards available under, materially expand the eligibility to participate in, or materially extend the term of, the Plan, or
(iii) materially change the method of determining Fair Market Value, shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. In addition, to the extent determined by the Administrator to be
required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or to ensure that compensation earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based compensation under
Section 162(m) of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 15 shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any
action permitted pursuant to Section 3(g). 
 SECTION 16. STATUS OF PLAN  

With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received
by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may
authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the
foregoing sentence. 
 SECTION 17. GENERAL PROVISIONS  

(a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an
Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal
and stock exchange or similar requirements have been satisfied. 

  
 11 









 
The Administrator may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it deems appropriate. 

(b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when
the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed
delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known
address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). 
 (c) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and
such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

 (d) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to such
Company’s insider trading policy and procedures, as in effect from time to time. 
 (e) Forfeiture of Awards under
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then any grantee
who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company for the amount of any Award received by such individual under the Plan during the 12-month period
following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. 

SECTION 18. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN  

This amended and restated Plan shall become effective upon approval by the holders of a majority of the votes cast at
a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder after the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the date the amended and
restated Plan is approved by the stockholders. 
 SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW  

This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.
