The Committee may retain the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee on account of actions taken
by the Grantee in violation or breach of or in conflict with any non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or
any Affiliate thereof, to the extent specified in such Award Agreement applicable to the Grantee. Furthermore, the Company may annul an Award if the Grantee is an employee of the Company or any Affiliate thereof and is terminated for Cause as
defined in the applicable Award Agreement or the Plan or any other agreement with the Grantee, as applicable. 
 Furthermore, if the Company

 Shares covered by an Award shall be counted as used as of the Grant Date.

are not purchased or are forfeited or expire, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any Stock subject thereto, then the number of shares of Stock counted against the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan with respect
to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination or expiration, again be available for making Awards under the Plan in the same amount as such shares were counted against the limit set forth in Section 4.1. The

of an Option as provided in Section 9.2, (ii) deducted or delivered from payment of an Award of an Option in connection with the Company’s tax withholding obligations as provided in Section 13.3, or

	 	5.3.	Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 

 The Committee may, at any time and from time to
time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Awards have not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent stated by the Committee, required by
Applicable Laws or required by applicable stock exchange listing requirements. No amendment will be made to the no-repricing provisions of Section 3.4 or the option pricing provisions of Section 8.1 without the approval of
the Company’s stockholders. No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore awarded under the Plan.

 - 7 - 









	8.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS 

  

	 	8.1.	Option Price. 

 The Option Price of each Option shall be fixed as the Fair Market Value
on the date of grant and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option. 
  

	 	8.2.	Vesting. 

 Subject to Sections 8.3 and 12.3 hereof, each Option granted under
the Plan shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement. For purposes of this Section 8.2, fractional numbers of shares of Stock subject to an
Option shall be rounded down to the next nearest whole number. 
  

	 	8.3.	Term. 

 Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase
shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in
the Award Agreement relating to such Option. 
  

	 	8.4.	Termination of Service. 

 Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the
Grantee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Grantee’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan,
and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service. 
  

	 	8.5.	Limitations on Exercise of Option. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in
no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company as provided herein or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 12 hereof which results in
termination of the Option. 
  

	 	8.6.	Method of Exercise. 

 Subject to the terms of Section 9 and
Section 12.3, an Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company of notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office, on the form specified by the Company and in
accordance with any additional procedures specified by the Committee. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the
shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to an Award. 

  
 - 8 - 









	 	8.7.	Rights of Holders of Options. 

 Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award
Agreement, an individual holding or entity exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the
voting of the subject shares of Stock) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 12 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for
which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance. 
  

	 	8.8.	Delivery of Stock Certificates. 

 Promptly after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee
and the payment in full of the Option Price, such Grantee shall be entitled to the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of the shares of Stock subject to the Option. 

 

	 	8.9.	Transferability of Options. 

 During the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in
the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. 
  

	9.	FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS 

  

	 	9.1.	General Rule. 

 Payment of the Option Price for the shares purchased pursuant to the
exercise of an Option shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company. 
  

	 	9.2.	Surrender of Stock. 

 To the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the
Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part through the tender or attestation to the Company of shares of Stock, which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option
Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender. 
  

	 	9.3.	Cashless Exercise. 

 With respect to an Option only, to the extent permitted by law and
to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a
licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 13.3, or, with the
consent of the Company, by issuing the number of shares equal in value to the difference between the Option Price and the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the portion of the Option being exercised. 

  
 - 9 - 









	 	9.4.	Other Forms of Payment. 

 To the extent the Award Agreement so provides and/or unless
otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, payment of the Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option may be made in any other form that is consistent with Applicable Laws, regulations and rules, including, without
limitation, Service. 
  

	10.	PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

defined in Code Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by a Grantee with an Applicable Entity, except an agreement,
contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999 (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect
provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a
“Benefit Arrangement”), any right to exercise, vesting, payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan shall be reduced or eliminated: 
  

	 	(i)	to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit
Arrangements, would cause any exercise, vesting, payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2) as then in effect (a “Parachute
Payment”); and 

  

	 	(ii)	if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the
maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. 


The Company shall accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments to be made furthest in the
future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Option, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments. 
  

	11.	REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 

  

	 	11.1.	General. 

 The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under
any Award if the sale or issuance of such shares of Stock would constitute a violation by the Grantee, any other individual or entity exercising an Option, or the Company or an Affiliate of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to an Award
upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance 

  
 - 10 - 








 
or purchase of shares of Stock hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any other individual or entity exercising an Option pursuant to such Award unless such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Award. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to
the shares of Stock covered by such Award, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue such shares of Stock unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other individual or entity exercising an Option
may acquire such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated
to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to
comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from
registration, the exercise of such Option under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption. 

 

	 	11.2.	Rule 16b-3. 

 During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Awards pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options granted hereunder that would otherwise be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act will qualify for the
exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative with respect to such
Awards to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Committee may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in
any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement. 
  

	12.	EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 

  

	 	12.1.	Changes in Stock. 

 If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or
decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of stock or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of stock,
exchange of stock, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares
of stock for which grants of Options may be made under the Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which Awards are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and
accordingly so that 

  
 - 11 - 








 
the proportionate interest of the Grantee immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding
Options shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of an outstanding Option, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share. The
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the Company’s stockholders of
securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary dividend but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Company shall, in such manner as the Company deems
appropriate, adjust (i) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and/or (ii) the exercise price of outstanding Options to reflect such distribution. 

 

	 	12.2.	Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which Does Not Constitute a Corporate Transaction. 


Subject to Section 12.3 hereof, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the
Company with one or more other entities which does not constitute a Corporate Transaction, any Option theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to
such Option would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be the same as
the aggregate Option Price of the shares of Stock remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement evidencing an Award, any restrictions
applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement shares received by the Grantee as a result of the reorganization, merger or consolidation. 
  

	 	12.3.	Corporate Transaction in which Awards are not Assumed. 

 Upon the occurrence of a
Corporate Transaction in which outstanding Options are not being assumed or continued, fifteen days prior to the scheduled consummation of such Corporate Transaction, all Options outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable and
shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen days. 
 With respect to the period during which Options can be exercised, (i) any
exercise of an Option during such fifteen-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the event and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation of the event, and (ii) upon consummation of any Corporate Transaction,
the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options shall terminate. The Committee shall send notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all individuals who hold Options not later than the time at which the Company gives notice
thereof to its stockholders. 
 In addition, the Committee may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Options
and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Committee acting in good faith), equal to the product of the number of shares of Stock subject


  
 - 12 - 








 
to such Options (the “Award Stock”) multiplied by the amount, if any, by which (x) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such
transaction exceeds (y) the Option Price applicable to such Award Stock. 
  

	 	12.4.	Corporation Transaction in which Awards are Assumed. 

 The Plan and Options theretofore
granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any Corporate Transaction to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Corporate Transaction for the assumption or continuation of the
Options theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options for new common stock options relating to the stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding
any consideration that is not common stock) and option exercise prices in order to provide equivalent value to the Awards. In the event a Grantee’s Award is assumed, continued or substituted upon the consummation of any Corporate Transaction
and his employment is terminated without Cause within one year following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, the Grantee’s Award will be fully vested and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning on the date of
such termination and for the one-year period immediately following such termination. 
  

	 	12.5.	Adjustments. 

 Adjustments under this Section 12 related to shares of Stock
or securities of the Company shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions
resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share. This Section 12.5 does not limit the Company’s ability to provide for alternative treatment of Awards outstanding
under the Plan in the event of change of control events that are not Corporate Transactions. 
  

	 	12.6.	No Limitations on Company. 

 The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect
or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part
of its business or assets. 
  

	13.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

  

	 	13.1.	Disclaimer of Rights. 

 No provision in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall
be construed to confer upon any individual or entity the right to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company or any Affiliate either to
increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any individual or entity at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual or entity and the Company or any Affiliate. In addition, notwithstanding
anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise 

  
 - 13 - 








 
stated in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such Grantee continues to be provide
Service. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan and
Awards shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. 

 

	 	13.2.	Nonexclusivity of the Plan. 

 Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the
Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Committee to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either
generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals) as the Committee in its discretion determines desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than
under the Plan. 
  

	 	13.3.	Withholding Taxes. 

 The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the
right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon
the exercise of an Option or pursuant to an Award. At the time of such vesting or exercise, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or an Affiliate may reasonably determine to be
necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation; provided, however, that if there is a same day sale, the Grantee shall pay such withholding obligation on the day that the same day sale is completed. For purposes of determining
taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding obligation under this Section 13.3, notwithstanding Section 2.15 or this Section 13.3, for any Shares that are sold on the same day that such Shares are
first legally saleable pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, Fair Market Value shall be determined based upon the sale price for such Shares so long as the grantee has provided the Company with advance written notice of such sale.

  

	 	13.4.	Captions. 

 The use of captions in this Plan or any Award Agreement is for the
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement. 
  

	 	13.5.	Other Provisions. 

 Each Award granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 

  
 - 14 - 









	 	13.6.	Number and Gender. 

 With respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall
include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc., as the context requires. 
  

	 	13.7.	Severability. 

 If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined
to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other
jurisdiction. 
  

	 	13.8.	Governing Law. 

 The validity and construction of this Plan and the instruments
evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan and the instruments
evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 
  

	 	13.9.	Code Section 409A. 

 The Company intends to comply with Code Section 409A, or
an exemption to Code Section 409A, with regard to Awards hereunder that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that a Grantee would be subject to the
additional 20% tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Code Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award granted under this Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent
necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Committee.
