Amended 2010 Management Incentive Plan 
  

	SECTION 1.	GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE PLAN; DEFINITIONS 

 The name of the plan is the Papa
Murphy’s Holdings, Inc. Amended 2010 Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and enable the officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key persons of Papa Murphy’s Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries, upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. It is
anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company’s welfare will assure a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company’s behalf and
strengthening their desire to remain with the Company. 
 The Plan is intended to be a “compensatory benefit plan” within the
meaning of Rule 701 under the Act. 
 The following terms shall be defined as set forth below: 

“Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. 

“Award” or “Awards,” except where referring to a particular category of grant under the Plan, shall
include Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Unrestricted Stock Awards, or any combination of the foregoing. 

“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company or its successor entity. 

“Cause” shall mean, (x) with respect to any grantee with an employment agreement with the Company,
“cause” as defined in such employment agreement or (y), with respect to any employee without such an employment agreement: the termination of the grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of (i) the
commission of any act by a grantee constituting financial dishonesty against the Company (which act would be chargeable as a crime under applicable law); (ii) a grantee’s engaging in any other act of dishonesty, fraud, intentional
misrepresentation, moral turpitude, illegality or harassment which, as determined in good faith by the Board, would: (A) materially adversely affect the business or the reputation of the Company with its current or prospective customers,
suppliers, lenders and/or other third parties with whom it does or might do business; or (B) expose the Company to a risk of civil or criminal legal damages, liabilities or penalties; (iii) the repeated failure by a grantee to follow the
directives of the Company’s chief executive officer or Board, (iv) any material misconduct, violation of the Company’s policies, or willful and deliberate non-performance of duty by the grantee in connection with the business affairs
of the Company or (v) material breach by the grantee of any of the grantee’s obligations to the Company under this Plan, any restricted stock grant agreement, employment agreement or non-competition agreement.

at the end of this Plan. 
 “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the

Shares shall be the per Share Fair Market Value thereof, disregarding any discount for minority interest, as determined in good faith by the Board in accordance with applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the
foregoing (i) if the Stock trades on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value on any given date is the closing sale price on such date; (ii) if the Stock does not trade on any national securities exchange but is admitted to
trading on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), the Fair Market Value on any given date is the closing sale price as reported by NASDAQ on such date;’ or if no such closing sale
price information is available, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Stock reported on such date. For any date that is not a trading day, the Fair Market Value of the Stock for such date will be determined by using the
closing sale price or the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices, as appropriate, for the immediately preceding trading day. The Committee can substitute a particular time of day or other measure of closing sale price if appropriate
because of changes in exchange or market procedures. 
 “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the
following events: (i) a substantial adverse change in the nature or scope of the grantee’s responsibilities, authorities, powers, functions or duties; (ii) a reduction in the grantee’s annual base salary except for
across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting all or substantially all management employees; or (iii) the relocation of the offices at which the grantee is principally employed to a location more than 50 miles from such offices.

of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or other interests in one of the other corporations or entities in the chain.

 (c) Delegation of Authority to Grant
Awards. The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company all or part of the Committee’s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards at Fair Market Value, and in the event of such
delegation, such Chief Executive Officer shall be deemed a one-person Committee of the Board. Any such delegation by the Committee shall 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 Option, the conversion ratio or price of other Awards and the vesting criteria. The Committee may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action
shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Committee’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 delegatee 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 delegatee thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and

officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time. 
  

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

 (a) Stock
Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 361,957 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). The Committee, in its sole discretion, may make a
number of shares of Common Stock available for granting Incentive Stock Options under the Plan, subject to Section 3(b) hereof and the provisions of Sections 422 and 424 of the Code and any successor


  
 4 








 
provisions. In the event that any outstanding Award expires, is forfeited, cancelled or is settled for cash, the shares subject to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation,
expiration, termination or settlement for cash, shall again be available for Awards under this Plan. 
 (b) Changes in Stock.
Subject to Section 3(c) 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, consolidation or 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 Committee shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and
(iv) the exercise price and/or exchange price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan. The adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued
under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares. 

The Committee may also adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to
take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or any other event if it is determined by the Committee that such adjustment is appropriate to
avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, provided that no such adjustment shall be made in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, 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. 
 (c) Mergers and Other Sale Events. 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 (other than in connection with an Initial Public Offering) in which the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for 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, (iv) the sale of all or a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the
Company to an unrelated person or entity or (v) any other transaction (other than an Initial Public Offering) in which, the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the
outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction (in each case, regardless of the form thereof, a “Sale Event”), unless otherwise provided in the Award agreement, the Plan and all outstanding
Options issued hereunder shall terminate upon the effective time of any such Sale Event, unless provision is made in connection with such 

  
 5 








 
transaction in the sole discretion of the parties thereto for the assumption or continuation of Options theretofore granted (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder) by the successor
entity, or the substitution of such Options with new Options of the successor entity or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with such adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the per share exercise prices as such parties shall agree (after
taking into account any acceleration If any, 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 Committee, to exercise all
outstanding Options held by such grantee which are then exercisable or will become exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be subject to
the consummation of the Sale Event (The treatment of Restricted Stock Award in connection with any such transaction shall be as specified in the relevant Award agreement). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that provision
is made in connection with the Sale Event for the assumption or continuation of Awards, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, then, except as the Committee may otherwise determine with respect
to particular Awards, any Award so assumed or continued or substituted therefor shall be deemed vested and exercisable in full upon the date on which the grantee’s employment or service relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries or
successor entity, as the case may be, terminates if such termination occurs (i) within 18 months after such Sale Event and (ii) such termination is by the Company or its Subsidiaries or successor entity without Cause or by the grantee for
“Good Reason”. 
 (d) Substitute Awards. The Committee 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 a 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 Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances. Any substitute Awards granted under the Plan
shall not count against the share limitation set forth in Section 3(a). 
  

	SECTION 4.	ELIGIBILITY 

 Grantees in the Plan will be such full or part-time
officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key persons (including prospective employees) of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are responsible for, or contribute to, the management, growth or profitability of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
  

	SECTION 5.	STOCK OPTIONS 

 Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be
pursuant to a Stock Option agreement which shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. Stock Option agreements need not be identical. 

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 

  
 6 








 
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. 
 No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after the date which
is ten years from the date the Plan is approved by the Board. 
 (a) Terms of Stock Options. Stock Options granted under the
Plan 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 Committee shall deem desirable. If the Committee so determines, Stock Options may
be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the grantee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, as well as in addition to other compensation. 

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the
time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10 percent of the combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair
Market Value on the grant date. 
 (ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock
Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10 percent of the combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant. 

(iii) 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 Committee at or after the grant date. The Committee 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. 
 (iv) 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 Award agreement or as otherwise provided by the Committee: 
 (A) In cash, by certified or bank check, or
other instrument acceptable to the Committee in U.S. funds payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the purchase price of such Option Shares; 

  
 7 








 (B) By the optionee delivering to the Company a promissory note if the Board has
expressly authorized the loan of, funds to the optionee for the purpose of enabling or assisting the optionee to effect the exercise of his or her Stock Option; provided that at least so much of the exercise price as represents the par value of the
Stock shall be paid other than with a promissory note if required by state law; 
 (C) If permitted by the Committee, through
the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or have been beneficially owned by the optionee for at least six months 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; 
 (D) If permitted by the
Committee, 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 to pay 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 Committee shall
prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. 
 Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. No certificates for
shares of Stock so purchased will be issued to optionee until the Company has completed all steps required by law to be taken in connection with the issuance and sale of the shares, including without limitation (i) receipt of a representation
from the optionee at the time of exercise of the Option that the optionee is purchasing the shares for the optionee’s own account and not with a view to any sale or distribution thereof, (ii) the legending of any certificate representing
the shares to evidence the foregoing representations and restrictions, and (iii) obtaining from optionee payment or provision for all withholding taxes due as a result of the exercise of the Option. The delivery of certificates representing 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 or her 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. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock
through the attestation method, the shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares attested to. 

(b) 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. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account generally in the order in
which they are granted. Each provision of the Plan and each Award Agreement ‘elating to an Incentive Stock Option shall be construed so that each Incentive Stock Option shall be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the
Code, and any provisions of the Award Agreement thereof that cannot be so construed shall be disregarded. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

  
 8 








 (c) Non-transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the
optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee, or by the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of
the optionee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in an Award agreement that the optionee may transfer, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to
members of his or her immediate family, 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 Option. 
  

	SECTION 6.	RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. A
Restricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the Company may, in its sale discretion, grant or sell, at such purchase price as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, shares of Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions
as the Committee may determine at the time of grant (“Restricted Stock”), which purchase price shall be payable in cash or other form of consideration acceptable to the Committee. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other
service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the Committee, 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 Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in subsection (d) below of this Section, and the
grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank. 
 (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. If a grantee’s employment (or other
service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates under the conditions specified in the relevant instrument relating to the Award, or upon such other event or events as may be stated in the instrument evidencing the Award, the
Company or its assigns shall have the right or shall agree, as may be specified in the relevant instrument, to repurchase some or all of the shares of Stock subject to the Award at such purchase price as is set forth in such instrument. 

(d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Committee 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 Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further rights of the Company or its assigns as may be specified in the instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock
Award. 

  
 9 








 (e) Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Code concerning Restricted Stock, the Participant shall be required to file promptly a copy of such election with the Company. 

(f) Waiver, Deferral and Reinvestment of Dividends. The Restricted Stock Award agreement may require or permit the immediate
payment, waiver, deferral or investment of dividends paid on the Restricted Stock. 
  

	SECTION 7.	UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 (a) Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Committee) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any grantee, pursuant to which such grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any
vesting restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan, which purchase price shall be payable in cash or other form of consideration acceptable to the Committee. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted or sold as described in the
preceding sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to such individual. 

(b) Elections to Receive Unrestricted Stock In Lieu of Compensation. Subject to Section 409A of the Code, upon the request
of a grantee and with the consent of the Committee, each such grantee may, pursuant to an advance written election delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Committee, receive a portion of the cash compensation otherwise due
to such grantee in the form of shares of Unrestricted Stock either currently or on a deferred basis. 
 (c) Restrictions on
Transfers. The right to receive shares of Unrestricted Stock on a deferred basis may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

 

	SECTION 8.	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 Committee regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld 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 stock certificates to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax obligations being satisfied by the grantee. 

(b) Payment in Stock. Subject to approval by the Committee, a grantee may elect to have the 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 

  
 10 








 
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 minimum withholding amount due. 
  

	SECTION 9.	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 Committee otherwise so
provides in writing. 
  

	SECTION 10.	AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION 

 The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the
Plan and the Committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award (or provide substitute Awards at the same or reduced exercise or purchase price or with no exercise or purchase price in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan), but such price, if any, must satisfy the requirements which would apply to the substitute or amended Award if it were then initially granted under this Plan 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. If and to the extent determined by the Committee to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are
qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders who are eligible to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 10 shall limit the Board’s or
Committee’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c). 
  

	SECTION 11.	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 Committee shall otherwise expressly determine in connection
with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Committee 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 12.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 (a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal
Requirements. The Committee 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


  
 11 








 
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. The Committee
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. 

(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-related restrictions, terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee, or in accordance with policies set by the Committee, from time to time.

 (e) Loans to Award Recipients. The Company shall have the authority to make loans to recipients of Awards hereunder
(including to facilitate the purchase of shares) and shall further have the authority to issue shares for promissory notes hereunder. 

(f) 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 13.	COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE 

 (a) General. The Company
intends that the Plan and all Awards be structured in compliance with, or to satisfy an exemption from, Section 409A of the Code and all regulations, guidance, compliance programs, and other interpretative authority thereunder (“Section
409A”), such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A as a result of the payments. Notwithstanding the Company’s intention, in the event any Award is subject to Section 409A, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion and without a participant’s prior consent, amend the Plan and/or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and actions with retroactive
effect) as are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Plan and/or any Award from the application of Section 409A, (b) preserve the intended tax treatment of any such Award, or (c) comply with the requirements of
Section 409A, including without limitation any such regulations guidance, compliance programs, and other interpretative authority that may be issued after the date of the grant.

 (b) Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the
Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) as
a result of his or her separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, until the date of death of the
specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award agreement) on the day that immediately follows the end of such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. Any remaining payments of
nonqualified deferred compensation shall be paid without delay and at the time or times such payments are otherwise scheduled to be made. 

(c) Separation from Service. A termination of service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of the
Plan or any Award agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A upon or following a termination of service, unless such termination is also a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and the payment thereof prior to a “separation from service” would violate Section 409A. For purposes of any such provision of the Plan or any Award agreement
relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “termination of service,” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” 

 

	SECTION 14.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

	SECTION 15.	GOVERNING LAW 

 This Plan and all Awards and actions taken
thereunder shall be governed by Delaware law, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.
