the Company will from time to time take whatever actions are necessary to file any required documents with governmental authorities, stock exchanges and transaction reporting systems to ensure that shares of Common Stock are available for issuance
pursuant to Awards. 
 6. Administration. 
 (a) The Committee will administer this Plan. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Committee will have
full and exclusive power and authority to administer this Plan and to take all actions that are specifically contemplated hereby or are necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration hereof. The Committee also will have full and
exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or proper, all of which powers will be exercised in the best interests of the Company and in keeping with
the objectives of this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for the extension of the exercisability of any Employee Award, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of any Employee Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any
restrictions contained in any Employee Award, waive any restriction or other provision of this Plan or any Employee Award or otherwise amend or modify any Employee Award in any manner that is either (i) not adverse to the Participant to whom
that Employee Award was granted or (ii) consented to in writing by that Participant; provided that the exercise price of an outstanding Option will not be reduced without approval of the stockholders of the Company. The Committee may grant an
Employee Award to any individual who has agreed in writing to become an Employee within six months after the date of that agreement, provided that the effectiveness of that Award will be subject to the condition that the individual actually becomes
an Employee within that time period. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Employee Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to
further the purposes of this Plan. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of this Plan will lie within its sole and absolute discretion and will be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned. 

(c) No member of the Committee or officer of the Company to whom the Committee has delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
7 of this Plan will be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or her, by any member of the Committee or by any officer of the Company in connection with the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his or her own willful
misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. 
 7. Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate to any Chairman of the Board
and to other senior officers of the Company its duties under this Plan on such terms and subject to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish, except that the Committee may not delegate to any person the authority to grant Awards
to, or take other action with respect to, Employee Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 8. Employee Awards. 
 (a) The Committee will determine the type or types of Employee Awards to be made and will designate from time to time the Employees who are to receive Employee Awards. Each Employee Award will be evidenced by an
Employee Award Agreement containing such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee determines in its sole discretion and signed by the Participant to whom the Employee Award is made and by an Authorized Officer for and on behalf of the
Company. Employee Awards may consist of those listed in this paragraph 8(a) hereof and may be granted singly or in combination or tandem with other Employee Awards. Employee Awards also may be made in combination or tandem with, in replacement of or
as alternatives to grants or rights under this Plan or any other employee plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including the plan of any acquired entity. No option may be granted in exchange or in replacement of an option having a higher
exercise price. An Employee Award may provide for the grant or issuance of additional, replacement or alternative Employee Awards upon the occurrence of specified events, including the exercise of the original Employee Award granted to a
Participant. All or part of an Employee Award may be subject to conditions established by the Committee, which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, achievement of specific business
objectives, increases in specified indices, attainment of specified growth rates and other comparable measurements of performance. If a Participant holding an Employee Award ceases to be an Employee, any unexercised, deferred, unexercisable,
unvested or unpaid portion of that Employee Award will be treated as set forth in the applicable Employee Award Agreement. 
 (i) Stock Option. An Employee Award may be in the form of an Option. An Option awarded pursuant to this Plan may consist of an Incentive Option or a Nonqualified Option. The price at which any share of Common Stock may be purchased
on the exercise of any Option will not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the date of grant of that Option, and the Committee will determine the other terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each Option,
including its term and the date or dates on which it becomes exercisable. 
 (ii) Stock Appreciation Right. An Employee
Award may be in the form of a SAR. The Committee will determine the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each SAR awarded pursuant to this Plan, including its term and the date or dates on which it becomes exercisable. 
 (iii) Stock Award. An Employee Award may be in the form of a Stock Award. The Committee will determine the terms, conditions and
limitations applicable to each Stock Award granted pursuant to this Plan. 
 (iv) Cash Award. An Employee Award may be
in the form of a Cash Award. The Committee will determine the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each Cash Award granted pursuant to this Plan. 
 (v) Performance Award. Without limiting the type or number of Employee Awards that may be made under the other provisions of this
Plan, an Employee Award may be in the form of a Performance Award. A Performance Award 

  

 5 







 
will be paid, vested or otherwise deliverable solely on account of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective Performance Goals established by
the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates or (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the
goal is established) and, in any event, while the outcome is substantially uncertain. A Performance Goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met. A Performance Goal may be based on
one or more business criteria, including, but not limited to, those that apply to the individual, one or more lines or classes of products or services of the Company, one or more business divisions, groups or units of the Company or the Company as a
whole and may include one or more of the following: increased revenue, net income, stock price, market share, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets or decrease in costs. Unless otherwise stated, a Performance Goal need not be based
on an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan
provisions applicable to Performance Goals and Performance Awards, it is the intent of this Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(e)(2)(i) or any successor law or regulation,
and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan will be guided by those provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of Performance Goals, the Committee must certify in writing that the
applicable Performance Goals were, in fact, satisfied. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Committee will determine the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to Performance Awards. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the following limitations will apply to each Employee Award: 
 (i) no Participant may be granted, during any one-year period, Employee Awards consisting of Options or SARs that are exercisable for more
than 300,000 shares of Common Stock; 
 (ii) no Participant may be granted, during any one-year period, Stock Awards covering
or relating to more than 10,000 shares of Common Stock (the limitation set forth in this clause (ii), together with the limitation set forth in clause (i) above, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stock-based Awards
Limitations”); and 
 (iii) no Participant may be granted Employee Awards consisting of cash or in any other form
permitted under this Plan (other than Employee Awards consisting of Options or SARs or otherwise consisting of shares of Common Stock or units denominated in such shares) in respect of any one-year period having a value determined on the date of
grant in excess of $1,000,000. 
 9. Payment of Awards. 
 (a) General. Payment of Employee Awards may be made in the form of cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof, and may include such restrictions as the Committee 

  

 6 







 
may determine, including, in the case of Common Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. If payment of an Employee Award is made in the
form of shares of Restricted Stock, the applicable Award Agreement relating to those shares will specify whether they are to be issued at the beginning or end of their Restriction Period If shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the
beginning of their Restriction Period, the certificates evidencing those shares (to the extent that those shares are so evidenced) will contain appropriate legends and restrictions that describe the terms and conditions of the restrictions
applicable thereto. If shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the end of their Restricted Period, the right to receive those shares will be evidenced by book entry registration or in such other manner as the Committee may determine.

 (b) Deferral. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payments of some or all
types of Employee Awards, subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee and the requirements of Section 409A. Any deferred payment of an Employee Award, whether elected by the Participant or specified by the applicable Award
Agreement or by the Committee, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the applicable Award Agreement so provides. 
 (c) Dividends and
Interest. Rights to dividends or Dividend Equivalents may be extended to and made part of any Employee Award consisting of shares of Common Stock or units denominated in shares of Common Stock, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions
as the Committee may establish. The Committee also may establish rules and procedures for the crediting of interest on deferred cash payments and Dividend Equivalents for Employee Awards consisting of shares of Common Stock or units denominated in
shares of Common Stock. 
 (d) Substitution of Awards. At the discretion of the Committee, a Participant who is an Employee may be
offered an election to substitute any Employee Award for another Employee Award or Awards of the same or a different type. 
 10. Stock
Option Exercise. The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under an Option will be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or, if elected by the optionee, the optionee may purchase those shares by means of tendering Common
Stock or surrendering another Award, including shares of Restricted Stock, valued at their Fair Market Value per share on the date of exercise or any combination thereof. The Committee will determine acceptable methods for Participants who are
Employees to tender Common Stock or other Employee Awards; provided, that any Common Stock that is or was the subject of an Employee Award may be so tendered only if it has been held by the Participant for six months. The Committee may provide for
procedures to permit the exercise or purchase of Employee Awards by use of the proceeds to be received from the sale of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Employee Award. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if shares of
Restricted Stock are tendered as consideration for the exercise of an Option, the number of the shares issued on the exercise of the Option that equals the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor will be subject to the
same restrictions as the Restricted Stock so submitted as well as to any additional restrictions the Committee may impose. 
 11.
Taxes. The Company will have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Employee Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of cash or shares of 

  

 7 







 
Common Stock under this Plan or at the time otherwise required by applicable law, an appropriate amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock or a
combination thereof for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of those taxes. The Committee may permit withholding to be satisfied
by the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Employee Award with respect to which withholding is required. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, those shares will be valued
at their Fair Market Value per share when the tax withholding is required to be made. The Committee may provide for loans, on either a short—term or demand basis, from the Company to a Participant who is an Employee to permit the payment of
taxes required by law. 
 12. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate
this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (i) no amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award
previously granted to that Participant will be made without the consent of that Participant and (ii) no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent such approval is required
by applicable legal requirements or the applicable requirements of the securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. 
 13.
Section 409A. The following provisions shall apply to this Plan, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary: 
 (a) This Plan
is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and ambiguous provisions, if any, shall be construed in a manner that is compliant with or exempt from the application of Section 409A. If a provision of the Plan would result in the
imposition of applicable taxes and interest under Section 409A, such provision may be reformed to avoid imposition of such taxes and interest and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect any rights or
benefits of the Participant hereunder. 
 (b) This Plan shall not be amended in a manner that would cause the Agreement or any amounts
payable under the Plan to fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, and, further, the provisions of any purported amendment that may reasonably be expected to result in such non-compliance shall be of no
force or effect with respect to the Agreement. 
 (c) The Plan shall neither cause nor permit any payment, benefit or consideration to be
substituted for a benefit that is payable under this Plan if such action would result in the failure of any amount that is subject to Section 409A to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A as of the Participant’s Date of Termination, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Plan upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A which are
subject to the provisions of Section 409A and are not otherwise excluded under Section 409A and would otherwise be payable during the first six-month period following such separation from service shall be paid on the first business day
next following the earlier of (a) the date that is six months and one day following the Date of Termination or (b) the date of Participant’s death. 
  

 8 







 (e) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment under this Plan shall be deemed to be a separate
payment. 
 14. Assignability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award
or any other benefit under this Plan will be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder. The Committee may prescribe and include in any Award Agreement other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation
of this Paragraph 13 will be null and void. 
 15. Adjustments. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 15 to the contrary, the Company shall neither cause nor permit any adjustments to any equity
interest to be made in a manner that would result in the equity interest’s becoming subject to Section 409A unless, after such adjustment, the equity interest is in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent
applicable. 
 (b) The existence of outstanding Awards will not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to
make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other
stock (whether or not that issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the Common Stock) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above. 
 (c) If any subdivision,
split or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock occurs, then, except with respect to the Awards outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date and consisting of
Options, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards in the form of Common Stock or units denominated in Common Stock, (iii) the exercise
or other price in respect of such Awards, (iv) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards and (v) the Stock-based Awards Limitations each will be proportionately adjusted by the Board to reflect the
consequences of that occurrence. If any recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, any adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting the
Common Stock or any distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends) occurs, the Board will make appropriate adjustments to the amounts or other items referred to in clauses (ii), (iii),
(iv) and (v) of the preceding sentence to give effect to that transaction; provided, that such adjustments will be only those as are necessary to maintain the 

  

 9 







 
proportionate interest of the holders of the Awards and preserve, without exceeding, the value of those Awards. In the event of a corporate merger,
consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee will be authorized to issue or assume Awards by means of substitution of new Awards, as appropriate, for previously issued Awards or to assume
previously issued Awards as part of such adjustment. 
 16. Restrictions. No Common Stock or other form of payment will be issued with
respect to any Award unless the Company is satisfied, on the basis of advice of its counsel, that the issuance will comply with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered under this Plan
(to the extent that the shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any securities exchange or transaction reporting system on which the Common Stock is then listed or to which it is admitted for quotation and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed
upon those certificates (if any) to make appropriate reference to those restrictions. 
 17. Unfunded Plan. Insofar as it provides for
Awards of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto, this Plan will be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are entitled to cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan, any such accounts
will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company will not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by cash, Common Stock or rights thereto, nor will this Plan be construed as providing for that
segregation, nor shall the Company, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of any cash, Common Stock or rights thereto to be granted under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of the Company to any Participant with respect to an
Award of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan shall be based solely on any contractual obligations that may be created by this Plan and any Award Agreement, and no such liability or obligation of the Company will be deemed to be
secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee will be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan.

 18. Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by
mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 19. Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of December 31, 2008.
