 SECTION 4. Shares Available for Awards.

 (a) Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c): the maximum number of Shares
available for issuance in respect of Awards made under the Plan shall be 8 million Shares, provided, however, that if for any reason any Award under the Plan or under any Prior Plan (other than a Substitute Award) is forfeited, canceled,
or expired, or is withheld by the Company from an Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units upon its vesting for the payment of income taxes on a Participant’s behalf, the number of Shares available for issuance in respect of Awards
under the Plan shall be increased by the number of Shares so forfeited, canceled, expired or withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following shall not increase the number of Shares available for issuance in respect
of Awards under the Plan: (i) Shares delivered in payment of an Option and (ii) Shares that are repurchased by the Company with Option proceeds. In addition, Shares covered by an SAR, to the extent that it is exercised and settled in
Shares, and regardless of whether or not Shares are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the SAR, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan. Subject to the foregoing, Shares may be made available from the
authorized but unissued Shares of the Company or from Shares reacquired by the Company. 
 (b) Individual Stock-Based
Awards. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), no Participant may receive Options or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than 2,000,000 Shares in the aggregate;
provided, however, that such number may be increased with respect to any Participant by any Shares available for grant to such Participant in accordance with this Section 4(b) in any prior years that were not granted in such prior year.
No provision of this Section 4(b) shall be construed as limiting the amount of any other stock-based or cash-based award which may be granted to any Participant. 

  
 4 








 (c) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), change in the capital or shares of capital stock, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or extraordinary transaction or event which affects the Shares, then the Committee shall
make such adjustment, if any, in such manner as it deems appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, in (i) the number and type of Shares (or other
securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards both to any individual and to all Participants, (ii) outstanding Awards including without limitation the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property)
subject thereto, and (iii) the grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to outstanding Awards and, if deemed appropriate, make provision for cash payments to the holders of outstanding Awards; provided, however, that the number of
Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number. 
 (d) Substitute Awards. Shares
underlying Substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan for any purpose. 
 SECTION
5. Eligibility. 
 Any employee of or consultant to the Company or any Affiliate, or any director of the Company, is eligible to be
designated a Participant. 
 SECTION 6. Awards. 

(a) Options. (i) Grant. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants with such terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. The Award Agreement shall specify: 

(A) the purchase price per Share under each Option, provided, however, that such price shall be not less than 100%
of the fair market value of the Shares underlying such Option on the date of grant (except in the case of Substitute Awards); 

(B) the term of each Option (not to exceed ten years); and 

(C) the time or times at which an Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, the method or methods by which and the
form or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards or other property, or any combination thereof, having a fair market value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price) in which payment of the exercise price with
respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made. 
 (ii) Other Terms. Notwithstanding the following terms, the
Committee may impose other terms that may be more or less favorable to the Company as it deems fit. Unless the Committee shall impose such other terms, the following conditions shall apply: 

  
 5 








 (A) Exercise. A Participant electing to exercise an Option shall
give written notice to the Company, as may be specified by the Committee, of exercise of the Option and the number of Shares elected for exercise, such notice to be accompanied by such instruments or documents as may be required by the Committee,
and shall tender the purchase price of the Shares elected for exercise. 
 (B) Payment. At the time of
exercise of an Option payment in full, or adequate provision therefore, in cash or in Shares or any combination thereof, at the option of the Participant, shall be made for all Shares then being purchased. 

(C) Issuance. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares unless and until: 

(1) if the class of Shares at the time is listed upon any stock exchange, the Shares to be issued have been listed, or
authorized to be added to the list upon official notice of issuance, upon such exchange, and 
 (2) in the opinion
of the Company’s counsel there has been compliance with applicable law in connection with the issuance and delivery of Shares and such issuance shall have been approved by the Company’s counsel. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company may require from the Participant such investment representation
or such agreement, if any, as the Company’s counsel may consider necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933 as then in effect, and may require that the Participant agree that any sale of the Shares will be made only in such
manner as shall be in accordance with law and that the Participant will notify the Company of any intent to make any disposition of the Shares whether by sale, gift or otherwise. The Participant shall take any action reasonably requested by the
Company in such connection. A Participant shall have the rights of a stockholder only as and when Shares have been actually issued to the Participant pursuant to the Plan. 

(D) Minimum Vesting. Options may not become fully exercisable prior to the third anniversary of the date of
grant, except as provided in Section 6(a)(ii)(E) and Section 7(f) below. 
 (E) Termination of Employment;
Death. If the employment of a Participant terminates for any reason or if a Participant dies (whether before or after the normal retirement date), Options shall be or become exercisable only as provided in (1) through (5) below:

 (1) If such termination is voluntary on the part of the Participant, such Option may be exercised only if and to the
extent such Option was exercisable at the date of termination and only within thirty days (extended to the next business day if falling on a weekend or holiday) after the date of termination. Except as so exercised such Option shall expire at the
end of such period. 
 (2) If such termination is involuntary on the part of the Participant, such Option may be
exercised only if and to the extent such Option was exercisable at the date of termination and only within ninety days (extended to the next business day if falling on a weekend or holiday) after the date of termination. Except as so exercised such
Option shall expire at the end of such period. 
 (3) If an employee retires on or after the normal retirement date,
such Option shall continue to be and become exercisable in accordance with its terms and the provisions of this Plan. 

  
 6 








 (4) If a Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of permanent
and total disability, all unexercisable installments of such Option shall thereupon become exercisable and shall remain exercisable for the remainder of the Option term. 

(5) If a Participant dies, all unexercisable installments of such Option shall thereupon become exercisable and, at any
time or times within one year after such death, the Option may be exercised, as to all or any unexercised portion of the Option. The Company may decline to deliver Shares to a designated beneficiary until it receives indemnity against claims of
third parties satisfactory to the Company. Except as so exercised such Option shall expire at the end of such period. 

(F) The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of
Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. The maximum number of Shares that may be awarded as Incentive Stock Options is 8 million. 

(b) Restoration Options. The Committee may only grant a Participant a restoration Option under this Plan with respect to an
option granted by the Company under the Prior Plans, or with respect to a restoration option resulting from such an option, when the Company is contractually bound to grant such restoration Option, and the Participant pays the exercise price by
delivering Shares or by attesting to the ownership of such Shares. The restoration option is equal to the number of Shares delivered or attested to by the Participant, and the exercise price shall not be less than 100 percent of the fair market
value of the Shares on the date the restoration option is granted. A restoration option otherwise will have the same terms as the original option. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, (i) no restoration option shall be granted unless
the recipient is an active employee at the time of grant and (ii) the number of Shares which are subject to a restoration Option shall not exceed the number of whole Shares exchanged in payment for the exercise of the underlying Option. No
restoration Options shall otherwise be granted under this Plan. 
 (c) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is
authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants. Subject to the terms of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of
(i) the fair market value of one Share on the date of exercise or, if the Committee shall so determine in the case of any such right other than one related to any Incentive Stock Option, at any time during a specified period before or after the
date of exercise over (ii) the fair market value on the date of grant. Stock Appreciation Rights may not fully vest prior to the third anniversary of the date of grant, except as provided in Sections 6(d)(iv)(B) and 7(f) below. 

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the grant price, which shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of
the Shares underlying the Stock Appreciation Right on the date of grant, term (not to exceed ten years), methods of exercise and settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right and may impose such conditions or
restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate. 
 (d) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units. 
 (i) Issuance. The Committee is authorized to grant to Participants Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall
consist of Shares, and Restricted Stock Units which shall give the Participant the right to receive cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, in each case 

  
 7 








 
subject to the termination of the Restricted Period determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the following terms, the Committee may impose other terms that may be more or less favorable to
the Company as it deems fit. In the absence of any such differing provisions, Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall have the provisions described below. 

(ii) Restrictions. The Restricted Period may differ among Participants and may have different expiration dates with respect to
portions of Shares covered by the same Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall have such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right
to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in installments or otherwise (including the achievement of performance
measures as set forth in Section 6(e) hereof), as the Committee may deem appropriate. Any Shares or other securities distributed with respect to Restricted Stock or which a Participant is otherwise entitled to receive by reason of such Shares
shall be subject to the restrictions contained in the applicable Award Agreement. Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units may not fully vest prior to the third anniversary of the date of grant, except as provided in
Sections 6(d)(iv)(B), 6(e)(iii) and 7(f) below. Subject to the aforementioned restrictions and the provisions of the Plan, a Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock. 

(iii) Registration. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem
appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of stock certificates. 
 (iv) Termination;
Death. If a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason, all Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units theretofore awarded to the Participant which are still subject to restrictions shall upon such termination be forfeited
and transferred back to the Company, except as provided in clauses (A) and (B) below. 
 (A) If an employee ceases to be
employed by reason of retirement on or after normal retirement date, the restrictions contained in the Award of Restricted Stock or the Restricted Stock Unit shall continue to lapse in the same manner as though employment had not terminated, subject
to clause (B) below and Sections 6(d)(v) and 7(f). 
 (B) If a Participant ceases to be employed by reason of permanent and
total disability or if a Participant dies, whether before or after the normal retirement date, the restrictions contained in such Participant’s Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall lapse. 

(C) At the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Company shall deliver Shares in the case of an Award of Restricted Stock or Shares,
cash, securities or other property, in the case of a Restricted Stock Unit, as follows: 
 (1) if an assignment to a
trust has been made in accordance with Section 7(d)(ii)(B), to such trust; or 
 (2) if the Restricted Period
has expired by reason of death and a beneficiary has been designated in form approved by the Company, to the beneficiary so designated; or 

(3) in all other cases, to the Participant or the legal representative of the Participant’s estate. 

  
 8 








 (v) Acceleration. New Awards granted to a Participant in or after the calendar
year in which such Participant attains age 65 will vest in five equal annual installments or such earlier vesting as may be specified in the Award Agreement. With respect to an Award granted to a Participant prior to the calendar year in which
the Participant attains age 65, if in the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 65 the Restricted Period then remaining thereunder is longer than five years, the Restricted Period shall be shortened so that commencing in the
calendar year that a Participant attains age 66, the restrictions contained in the Award shall lapse in equal annual installments such that the Participant shall be fully vested not later than the end of the calendar year in which the
Participant attains age 70. 
 (e) Performance Awards. 

(i) The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance Awards to Participants. 

(ii) Subject to the terms of the Plan, a Performance Award granted under the Plan (A) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares
(including, without limitation, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units), other securities or other Awards, and (B) shall confer on the holder thereof rights valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or exercisable by, the holder
of the Performance Award, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any
performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee. Unless the Committee
determines otherwise, the performance period relating to any Performance Award shall be at least one calendar year commencing January 1 and ending December 31 (except in circumstances in connection with a Change in Control, in which event
the performance period may be shorter than one year). 
 (iii) Every Performance Award to a member of the Executive Group shall, if the
Committee intends that such Award should constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, include a pre-established formula, such that payment, retention or vesting of the Award is
subject to the achievement during a performance period or periods, as determined by the Committee, of a level or levels, as determined by the Committee, of one or more performance measures with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates,

the Company. The following shall be excluded in determining whether any performance criterion has been attained: losses resulting from discontinued operations, extraordinary losses (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as
currently in effect), the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and other unusual, non-recurring items of loss that are separately identified and quantified in the Company’s audited financial statements. Performance measures may
vary from Performance Award to Performance Award and from Participant to Participant and may be established on a stand-alone basis, in tandem or in the alternative. For any Performance Award, the maximum amount that may be delivered or earned in
settlement of all such Awards granted in any year shall be (x) if and to the extent that such Awards are denominated in Shares, 2,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c)) and (y) if and to the extent
that such Awards are denominated in cash, $10,000,000. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall not be authorized to increase the amount payable under any Award to which this Section 6(e)(iii) applies upon
attainment of such pre-established formula. 
 (f) Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant to
Participants Awards under which the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any)
shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested. Subject to the terms of the Plan, such Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, but shall not be awarded on unearned Performance
Awards. 
 (g) Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or determined by the Committee, 

(i) Awards granted to, or otherwise held by, employees will terminate, expire and be forfeited upon termination of employment, which shall
include a change in status from employee to consultant and termination by reason of the fact that an entity is no longer an Affiliate, and 

(ii) a Participant’s employment shall not be considered to be terminated (A) in the case of approved sick leave or other
approved leave of absence (not to exceed one year or such other period as the Committee may determine), or (B) in the case of a transfer among the Company and its Affiliates. 

(h) Termination of Awards. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Plan or instruments evidencing Awards granted
hereunder, other than the provisions of Section 7(f), the Committee may terminate any Award (including the unexercised portion of any Option and any Award of 

  
 10 








 
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units which remains subject to restrictions) concurrently with or at any time following termination of employment regardless of the reason for such
termination of employment if the Committee shall determine that the Participant has engaged in any activity detrimental to the interests of the Company or an Affiliate. 

SECTION 7. General. 

(a) No Cash Consideration for Awards. Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration
as may be required by applicable law. 
 (b) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of
the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in substitution for any other Award or any award granted under any other Plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards
or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under another Plan of the Company or an Affiliate, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 

(c) Forms of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or
transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise, or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or
other property, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and procedures may
include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments. 

(d) Limits on Transfer of Awards. Awards cannot be transferred, except the Committee is hereby authorized to permit the
transfer of Awards under the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine: 

(i) No Award or right under any Award may be sold, encumbered, pledged, alienated, attached, assigned or transferred in
any manner and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. 

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(d)(i) above: 

(A) An Option may be transferred: 

(1) to a beneficiary designated by the Participant in writing on a form approved by the Committee; 

(2) by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution to the personal representative, executor or administrator
of the Participant’s estate; or 
 (3) to a revocable grantor trust established by the Participant for the sole
benefit of the Participant during the Participant’s life, and under the terms of which the Participant is and remains the sole trustee until death or physical or mental incapacity. Such assignment shall be effected by a written instrument in
form and content satisfactory to the Committee, and the Participant shall deliver to the Committee a true copy of the agreement or other document evidencing such trust. If 

  
 11 








 
in the judgment of the Committee the trust to which a Participant may attempt to assign rights under such an Award does not meet the criteria of a trust to which an assignment is permitted by the
terms hereof, or if after assignment, because of amendment, by force of law or any other reason such trust no longer meets such criteria, such attempted assignment shall be void and may be disregarded by the Committee and the Company and all rights
to any such Options shall revert to and remain solely with the Participant. Notwithstanding a qualified assignment, for the purpose of determining compensation arising by reason of the Option, the Participant, and not the trust to which rights under
such an Option may be assigned, shall continue to be considered an employee or consultant, as the case may be, of the Company or an Affiliate, but such trust and the Participant shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Award
Agreement and this Plan. Shares issued in the name of and delivered to such trust shall be conclusively considered issuance and delivery to the Participant. 

(B) A Participant may assign or transfer rights under an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units: 

(1) to a beneficiary designated by the Participant in writing on a form approved by the Committee; 

(2) by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution to the personal representative, executor or administrator
of the Participant’s estate; or 
 (3) to a revocable grantor trust established by the Participant for the
sole benefit of the Participant during the Participant’s life, and under the terms of which the Participant is and remains the sole trustee until death or physical or mental incapacity. Such assignment shall be effected by a written instrument
in form and content satisfactory to the Committee, and the Participant shall deliver to the Committee a true copy of the agreement or other document evidencing such trust. If in the judgment of the Committee the trust to which a Participant may
attempt to assign rights under such an Award does not meet the criteria of a trust to which an assignment is permitted by the terms hereof, or if after assignment, because of amendment, by force of law or any other reason such trust no longer meets
such criteria, such attempted assignment shall be void and may be disregarded by the Committee and the Company and all rights to any such Awards shall revert to and remain solely with the Participant. Notwithstanding a qualified assignment, for the
purpose of determining compensation arising by reason of the Award, the Participant, and not the trust to which rights under such an Award may be assigned, shall continue to be considered an employee or consultant, as the case may be, of the Company
or an Affiliate, but such trust and the Participant shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and this Plan. Shares issued in the name of and delivered to such trust shall be conclusively considered issuance and
delivery to the Participant. 
 (iii) The Committee, the Company and its officers, agents and employees may rely upon any
beneficiary designation, assignment or other instrument of transfer, copies of trust agreements and any other documents delivered to them by or on behalf of the Participant which they believe genuine and any action taken by them in reliance thereon
shall be 

  
 12 








 
conclusive and binding upon the Participant, any trustee, the personal representatives of the Participant’s estate and all persons asserting a claim based on an Award. The delivery by a
Participant of a beneficiary designation, or an assignment of rights under an Award as permitted hereunder, shall constitute the Participant’s irrevocable undertaking to hold the Committee, the Company and its officers, agents and employees
harmless against claims, including any cost or expense incurred in defending against claims, of any person (including the Participant) which may be asserted or alleged to be based on an Award subject to a beneficiary designation or an assignment. In
addition, the Company may decline to deliver Shares to a beneficiary, heir or trustee until it receives indemnity against claims of third parties satisfactory to the Company. 

(e) Share Certificates. All certificates for, or other indicia of, Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan
pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed and any applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions. 
 (f) Change in Control. 

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Plan or instruments evidencing Awards granted hereunder, upon a Change in Control of the Company
the vesting of all rights of Participants under outstanding Awards shall be accelerated and all restrictions thereon shall terminate in order that Participants may fully realize the benefits thereunder. Such acceleration shall include, without
limitation, the immediate exercisability in full of all Options and the termination of restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Further, in addition to the Committee’s authority set forth in Section 4(c), the Committee,
as constituted before such Change in Control, is authorized, and has sole discretion, as to any Award, either at the time such Award is made hereunder or any time thereafter, to take any one or more of the following actions: (A) provide for the
purchase of any such Award, upon the Participant’s request, for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently
exercisable or payable; (B) make such adjustment to any such Award then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control; and (C) cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights
substituted therefore, by the acquiring or surviving corporation after such Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the terms of any Award Agreement (i) such acceleration of vesting and lapse of any Restricted Period shall not
accelerate the time of payment of any Award, other than an Option, constituting deferred compensation not exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; and (ii) at the time of any Change in Control, shares subject to any Award
which have not then become fully vested (“legacy awards”) shall thereupon become fully vested as provided above only if the Committee fails to substitute successor awards as provided in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) which
are equal to the then-current value of fully vested legacy awards and the shares of the acquiring or surviving corporation are marketable securities tradable on any national securities exchange, provided that for legacy awards that do not become
fully vested, the vesting schedule applicable to the legacy awards shall continue, as if the Change in Control had not occurred, as to such successor awards; provided, further, that such successor awards shall immediately vest at the time which the


  
 13 








 
Committee determines, within 24 months following the date of Change in Control, that any such person shall have been terminated involuntarily by the Company for a reason other than gross
negligence or deliberate misconduct which demonstrably harms the Company, or that any such person shall have resigned for Good Reason as such term has been previously defined, and rules for its application established, by the Committee. 

(g) Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or of any Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award
outstanding hereunder may at any time be cancelled in the Committee’s sole discretion upon payment of the value of such Award to the holder thereof in cash or in another Award hereunder, such value to be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. 
 (h) Option Repricing. Except as provided in Section 4(c) and in connection with the granting of a
Substitute Award, no outstanding Option may be cancelled and replaced with an Option having a lower exercise price. 
 (i) Clawback Upon
Restatement. In the event the Company has a restatement of its financial statements, other than as a result of changes to accounting rules and regulations, the Committee shall have the discretion at any time (notwithstanding any expiration of
this Plan or of the rights or obligations otherwise arising hereunder) to require any Participant to return all cash or Shares which he may have acquired (or which he is deemed to have acquired) as a result of any Performance Award payment or as a
result of the sale of Shares which may have vested under any Award, and to waive, forfeit and surrender to the Company the right to any unrealized Performance Award payments and to all unsold vested Shares and all unvested Shares made under any
Award (whether or not such Participant may then be an employee, consultant or director of the Company or any of its affiliates, and whether or not such Participant’s or any other person’s misconduct may have caused such restatement),
provided that such payment or right to payment or Award was earned, paid or granted during the three-year period preceding the date of restatement of such restated financial results and provided, further, that any such recovery shall be offset by
recovery otherwise obtained hereunder. The Committee retains discretion regarding the application of these provisions.  

SECTION 8. Amendment and Termination. 

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan: 

(a) Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend the Plan and the Board or the Committee may amend any outstanding Award;
provided, however, that: (I) no Plan amendment shall be effective until approved by stockholders of the Company (i) if any stockholder approval thereof is required in order for the Plan to continue to satisfy the conditions of the applicable rules
and regulations that the Committee has determined to be necessary to comply with, and (ii) if such Plan amendment would materially (A) increase the number of Shares available under the Plan or issuable to a Participant (other than a change in the
number of Shares made in connection with an event described in Section 4(c) hereof), (B) change the types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan, (C) expand the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, or (D) directly or
indirectly (including through an exchange of underwater options or SARs for cash or other Awards) reduce the 

  
 14 








 
price at which an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable (other than in connection with an event described in Section 4(c) hereof or the granting of a Substitute Award), and (II)
without the consent of affected Participants no amendment of the Plan or (other than as permitted or required herein) of any Award may impair the rights of Participants under outstanding Awards. 

(b) Waivers. The Committee may waive any conditions to the Company’s obligations or rights of the Company
under any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of any Participant. 

(c) Adjustments of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee shall
be authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) hereof) affecting the
Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits to be made available under the Plan; provided, however, no such adjustment shall be made to an Award granted under Section 6(e)(iii) if the Committee intends such Award to
constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” unless such adjustment is permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 SECTION
9. Correction of Defects, Omissions, and Inconsistencies. 
 The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile
any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to effectuate the Plan. 
 SECTION 10. General
Provisions. 
 (a) No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award
under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards of the same type and the determination of the Committee to grant a waiver
or modification of any Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the same with respect to each Participant. 

(b) Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or
transfer made under any Award or under the Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the
Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or Affiliate to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. 

(c) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from
adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of options and other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

  
 15 








 (d) No Right to Employment or Service. The grant of an Award shall not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or service, free from any liability, or
any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding the parties. 

(e) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall
be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable Federal law. 
 (f) Severability. If any
provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision
shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 

(g) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate
fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such
right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 
 (h) No Fractional
Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares,
or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. 

(i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.
Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. 
 SECTION
11. Term. 
 The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the Company’s stockholders and no Awards shall be
made under the Plan after May 6, 2024.
