assets, each under Section 409A of the Code or otherwise constitutes a change on control within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, if the Company treats an event as a Change in Control that does not

opinion of the Committee, renders a Participant unable or incompetent to carry out the job responsibilities which such Participant held or tasks to which such Participant was assigned at the time the disability was incurred and which is expected to
be permanent or for an indefinite period. With respect to any Award that constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A and is subject to Code Section 409A, the Committee may not find that a Disability exists with respect to the
applicable Participant unless, in the Committee’s opinion, such Participant is also “disabled” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

employee of the Company or Subsidiary during such period. An individual shall not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the
Company or any Subsidiaries. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed 90 days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence
approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three months following the 91st day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by a Participant shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a
Nonqualified Stock Option. Neither service as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company shall be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company.

adjustments or modifications in the terms of any Awards that it deems appropriate to reflect any Corporate Transaction, including, but not limited to, modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods, subject to

Section 162(m) and treated as Performance-Based Compensation.

the capital charge is equal to invested capital multiplied by the weighted average cost of capital;

Measure(s) may, as the Committee, in its sole discretion deems appropriate, (i) relate to the performance of the Company or any Subsidiary as a whole or any business unit or division of the Company or any Subsidiary or any combination thereof,
(ii) be compared to the performance of a group of comparator companies, or published or special index, (iii) be based on change in the Performance Measure over a specified period of time and such change may be measured based on an
arithmetic change over the specified period (e.g., cumulative change or average change), or percentage change over the specified period (e.g., cumulative percentage change, average percentage change or compounded percentage change), (iv) relate
to or be compared to one or more other Performance Measures, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to
the Performance Measures specified in this Article 15. 

  
 23 








 15.3 Evaluation of Performance. The Committee may provide in any Award intended to qualify
as Performance-Based Compensation that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude the impact, if any, on reported financial results of any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs,
(b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) changes in tax laws, accounting principles or other laws or provisions, (d) reorganization or restructuring programs, (e) acquisitions or divestitures, (f) foreign
exchange gains and losses, (g) gains and losses that are treated as extraordinary items under Financial Accounting Standard No. 145 (Accounting Standards Codification 225), (h) foreign exchange gains and losses or
(i) reorganization or restructuring program. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees; they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility. 

15.4 Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation. Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be
adjusted upward. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines, in its sole discretion. 

15.5 Committee Discretion. In the event that applicable tax or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the
governing Performance Measures or permit flexibility with respect to the terms of any Award or Awards to be treated as Performance-Based Compensation without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to
make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may make such grants
without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 15.2. 

Article 16. Nonemployee Director Awards 

16.1 Awards to Nonemployee Directors. The Board or Committee shall determine and approve all Awards to Nonemployee Directors. The terms
and conditions of any grant of any Award to a Nonemployee Director shall be set forth in an Award Agreement. 
 16.2 Awards in Lieu of
Fees. The Board or Committee may permit a Nonemployee Director the opportunity to receive an Award in lieu of payment of all or a portion of future director fees (including but not limited to cash retainer fees and meeting fees) or other type of
Awards pursuant to such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee may prescribe and set forth in an applicable sub-plan or Award Agreement. 

16.3 Annual Award Limits. The maximum aggregate number of Shares for which Awards may be granted to any Nonemployee Director in any
calendar year shall be 100,000. 

  
 24 








 Article 17. Effect of a Change in Control 

17.1 Certain Rules. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, any spin-off of a division or subsidiary of the Company to its
stockholders will not constitute a Change in Control of the Company. 
 17.2 Discretionary Treatment; Default Provisions. The
Committee shall determine the treatment of outstanding Awards prior to a Change in Control, except that to the extent the Committee takes no action (and except as otherwise expressly provided for in an Award Agreement or as required to comply with
Code Section 409A): 
 (a) all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding shall become immediately and fully exercisable,
notwithstanding any provision therein for the exercise in installments; 
 (b) all restrictions and conditions of all Restricted Stock then
outstanding shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the Change in Control; and 
 (c) all Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents
and any Award subject to performance goals, including Performance Stock or Performance Stock Units, shall become vested and deemed earned or satisfied at target, notwithstanding that the applicable performance cycle, retention cycle or restriction
conditions shall not have been completed or met, and shall be settled pro rata, based on the proportion of the applicable performance period during which the Participant was employed, in cash, Shares or a combination thereof as provided for under
the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise settled within 30 days of the Change in Control (except to the extent that payment must be made pursuant to its original schedule in order to comply with Code Section 409A). 

17.3 Potential Treatment. Without limitation, except as expressly provided for in an Agreement, the Committee may elect prior to a
Change in Control, that in the event of a Change in Control, that all or any portion of an Award, with no requirement of uniform treatment: 

(a) Shall be assumed or an equivalent award be substituted by the successor corporation in any Change in Control transaction, or a parent or
subsidiary of such successor corporation; 
 (b) Shall be cancelled or forfeited and settled in cash (except where such action would cause
an excise tax to be payable pursuant to Code Section 409A); or 
 (c) With respect to any unexercised portion of an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, shall be cancelled following the time permitted to exercise said Award. 
 17.4 409A Limitation. Following a
Change in Control, no action shall be taken under the Plan that will cause any Award that has previously been determined to be (or is determined to be) subject to Code Section 409A to fail to comply in any respect with Code Section 409A
without the written consent of the Participant. 

  
 25 








 Article 18. Dividends and Dividend Equivalents 

With respect to an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may grant or limit the right of a Participant to receive dividends declared on
Shares that are subject to such Award granted to the Participant, with such dividends credited to the Participant as of the applicable dividend payment dates that occur during a period determined by the Committee; provided, however,
that in the case of an Award of Restricted Stock as to which vesting depends upon the satisfaction of one or more performance conditions or solely upon the satisfaction of a service condition, such dividends shall be subject to the same performance
conditions or service conditions, as applicable, as the underlying Award. Dividends shall be converted to and paid in cash or additional Shares or Awards by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the
Committee. 
 Except for Options, SARs and Restricted Stock, the Committee may grant dividend equivalent payments (“Dividend
Equivalents”) to a Participant based on the dividends declared on Shares that are subject to any Award granted to the Participant, with such Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant as of the applicable dividend payment dates that
occur during a period determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in the case of an Award as to which vesting depends upon the satisfaction of one or more performance conditions or solely upon the satisfaction of a service
condition, such Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same performance conditions or service conditions, as applicable, as the underlying Award. Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to and paid in cash or additional Shares or Awards by
such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. 
 Article 19. Beneficiary Designation 

Each Participant under this Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
to whom any benefit under this Plan is to be paid in case of his death before he receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the
Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such beneficiary designation, benefits remaining unpaid or rights remaining unexercised at
the Participant’s death shall be paid to or exercised by the Participant’s executor, administrator or legal representative. 
 Article 20.
Rights of Participants 
 20.1 Employment. Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall (a) interfere with or limit in
any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law or (b) confer upon any Participant any right to continue
his employment or service as a Director or Third-Party Service Provider for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company or any Subsidiary and,
accordingly, subject to Articles 3 and 21, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be amended or terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board or Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company,
any Subsidiary, the Committee or the Board. 

  
 26 








 20.2 Participation. No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award
under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. 
 20.3 Rights as a Stockholder. Except as
otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares. 

Article 21. Amendment and Termination 

21.1 Amendment and Termination of the Plan and Awards.  

(a) Subject to subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 21.1 and Section 21.3 of the Plan, the Board may at any time amend
or terminate the Plan or amend or terminate any outstanding Award. 
 (b) Except as provided for in Section 4.4, the terms of an
outstanding Award may not be amended, without prior stockholder approval, to: 
 (i) reduce the Option Price of an outstanding Option or to
reduce the Grant Price of an outstanding SAR, 
 (ii) cancel an outstanding Option or SAR in exchange for other Options or SARs with an
Option Price or Grant Price, as applicable, that is less than the Option Price of the cancelled Option or the Grant Price of the cancelled SAR, as applicable, or 

(iii) cancel an outstanding Option with an Option Price that is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of cancellation or
cancel an outstanding SAR with a Grant Price that is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of cancellation in exchange for cash or another Award. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of this Plan shall be made without stockholder approval if stockholder approval is required
pursuant to rules promulgated by any stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares are listed or quoted or by applicable U.S. state corporate laws or regulations, applicable U.S. federal laws or regulations and the applicable laws of any
foreign country or jurisdiction where Awards are, or will be, granted under the Plan. 
 21.2 Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of
Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. Subject to Section 15.4, the Committee may 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 4.4) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments
are appropriate in order to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be
conclusive and binding on Participants under this Plan. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any adjustment to the Award made pursuant to this Section 21.2 without further consideration or action. 

  
 27 








 21.3 Awards Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the
contrary, other than Sections 21.2, 21.4 and 21.5, no termination or amendment of this Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under this Plan, without the written consent of the
Participant holding such Award. 
 21.4 Amendment to Conform to Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the
contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or an Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or an Award Agreement to any law relating to plans of this or
similar nature, and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 21.4 to the Plan and any Award without further
consideration or action. 
 21.5 Deferred Compensation. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Award Agreement, it is not
intended that any Award under this Plan, in form and/or operation, will constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and therefore, it is intended that each Award will not be subject to the requirements
applicable to deferred compensation under section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If a Participant is a “specified employee” as defined under Code Section 409A and the Participant’s Award is to be settled on
account of the Participant’s separation from service (for reasons other than death) and such Award constitutes “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A, then any portion of the Participant’s Award that
would otherwise be settled during the six-month period commencing on the Participant’s separation from service shall be settled as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the six-month period (or following the Participant’s death
if it occurs during such six-month period). 
 Article 22. General Provisions 

22.1 Forfeiture Events.  

(a) In addition to the forfeiture events specified in Section 22.1(b), the Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the
Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable treatment of an
Award. 
 (b) A Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause shall result in the forfeiture of the Participant’s outstanding and
unexercisable Options and SARs and any outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards granted to the Participant as of the date immediately
preceding the Participant’s Termination of Service. 
 22.2 Tax Withholding.  

(a) Minimum Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the
Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements, domestic or foreign, with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan but in no event shall such deduction or
withholding or remittance exceed the minimum statutory withholding requirements. 

  
 28 








 (b) Share Withholding. With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARS,
upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, upon the settlement of Restricted Stock Units, or upon the achievement of performance goals related to Performance Shares, or any other taxable event arising as a result of an Award granted
hereunder (collectively referred to as “Share Payment”), a Participant may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold from the Share
Payment the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of the withholding is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory withholding requirement but in no event shall such withholding exceed the minimum statutory withholding
requirement. All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, and signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

22.3 Legend. The certificates for Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on
transfer of such Shares. 
 22.4 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein
also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 
 22.5
Severability. In the event any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the
illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 22.6 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares
under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 

22.7 Delivery of Title. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under this Plan
prior to: 
 (a) Obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and 

(b) Completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any
governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. 
 22.8 Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of
the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability
in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 
 22.9
Investment Representations. The Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to an Award under this Plan to represent and warrant in writing that the individual is acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present
intention to sell or distribute such Shares. 

  
 29 








 22.10 Employees Based Outside of the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company or any Subsidiaries operate or have Employees, Directors or Third-Party Service Providers, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and
authority to: 
 (a) Determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by this Plan; 

(b) Determine which Employees, Directors or Third-Party Service Providers outside the United States are eligible to participate in this Plan;

 (c) Modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees, Directors or Third-Party Service Providers outside the United
States to comply with applicable foreign laws; 
 (d) Establish sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to
the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable. Any sub-plans and modifications to Plan terms and procedures established under this Section 22.10 by the Committee shall be attached to this Plan document as appendices; and 

(e) Take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local
government regulatory exemptions or approvals. 
 Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be
granted, that would violate applicable law. 
 22.11 Uncertificated Shares. To the extent that this Plan provides for issuance of
certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange. 

22.12 Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company or any
Subsidiaries may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship
between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other individual. To the extent that any individual acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Subsidiary under this Plan, such right shall be no
greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, and no
special or separate fund shall be established, and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in this Plan. 

22.13 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Award. The Committee shall
determine whether cash, Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated. 

  
 30 








 22.14 Retirement and Welfare Plans. Neither Awards made under this Plan nor Shares or cash
paid pursuant to such Awards may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s retirement plans (both qualified and nonqualified) or
welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit. 

22.15 Nonexclusivity of this Plan. The adoption of this Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the
Board or Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable for any Participant. 
 22.16 No Constraint on
Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (i) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or, (ii) limit the right or power of the Company or a Subsidiary to take any action that such entity deems to
be necessary or appropriate. 
 22.17 Governing Law. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of
Delaware excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. 

22.18 Delivery and Execution of Electronic Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may (i) deliver by
email or other electronic means (including posting on a website maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company) all documents relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder (including without limitation, prospectuses
required by the Commission) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements) and (ii) permit Participant’s to electronically execute
applicable Plan documents (including, but not limited to, Award Agreements) in a manner prescribed to the Committee. 
 22.19 No
Representations or Warranties Regarding Tax Effect. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Company, Subsidiaries, the Board and the Committee neither represent nor warrant the tax treatment under any federal, state, local
or foreign laws and regulations thereunder (individually and collectively referred to as the “Tax Laws”) of any Award granted or any amounts paid to any Participant under the Plan including, but not limited to, when and to what
extent such Awards or amounts may be subject to tax, penalties and interest under the Tax Laws. 

  
 31 








 22.20 Indemnification. Subject to requirements of the laws of the state of Delaware, each
individual who is or shall have been a member of the Board, or a Committee appointed by the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Article 3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she
may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any
judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his/her own
behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability or expense is a result of his/her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to
which such individuals may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 

22.21 Successors. All obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any
successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company
