Plan’s provisions. The Committee shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to (a) interpret the Plan and the Awards,
(b) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Non-employee Directors who are

foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (c) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are
consistent therewith, (d) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules and (e) amend the terms of any Award, including, but not limited to, the power to accelerate the vesting of Awards. 
 3.3 Delegation by the Committee  The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all
or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more Directors or officers of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority and powers in any way that would jeopardize the Plan’s
qualification under Rule 16b-3. 
 3.4 Eligibility to Participate  No member of the Committee who is also a Non-employee Director
shall be excluded from participating in the Plan if otherwise eligible, but he or she shall not be entitled, as a member of the Committee, to act or pass upon any matters pertaining specifically to her or her own rights or Awards under the Plan.

 3.5 Decisions Binding  All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the Board, and any delegate of the Committee
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 
 SECTION 4 
 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 
 4.1 Number of Shares  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the total number of shares of Phantom Stock available for grant

 4.2 Adjustments in Awards and Authorized Shares  In the event that any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), 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, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company that affects the Shares, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number of shares of Phantom Stock that may be
delivered under the Plan, and the outstanding Awards, as determined by the Committee (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the
Plan. 
 SECTION 5 
 PHANTOM STOCK

 5.1 Grant of Phantom Stock  On the first business day on or after January 15, April 15, July 15, and

 -4- 








 
Amount” divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. On any Grant Date, the Grant Amount will equal the sum of (a) $8,500, plus
(b) the dollar value of any shortfall below $4,000 in the initial value of “Stock Units” (as defined in the Equity Plan) to be granted to the Non-employee Director under the Equity Plan on that date. 
 5.2 Terms of Phantom Stock Award Agreement. Each Award granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
(satisfactory to the Committee) that shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
 5.2.2 Vesting. Each Award granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall vest upon the first to occur of the following events: 
 (a) The expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date; or 
 (b) Cessation of a Participant’s service as a Non-employee Director for any reason, including, but not limited to, death, Disability,
retirement, resignation or non-reelection to the Board. 
 5.3 Value of Phantom Stock  On any date, each share of Phantom Stock
shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on that date. 
 5.4 Form and Timing of Payment of Phantom Stock. Payment
of vested Phantom Stock shall be made in cash and in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after vesting (but in no event more than two and one-half months after vesting). 
 5.5 Dividends and Other Distributions  Participants holding unvested shares of Phantom Stock shall be entitled to receive the cash equivalent
of all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Shares as determined by the Committee. Any such dividends or distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability, and form and timing of payment,
as the Phantom Stock with respect to which they were deemed paid. 
 SECTION 6 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 All amounts subject to Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan
shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. The interest of the Participant in his or her Awards, including his or her right to cash settlement thereof, shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. Nothing
contained in the Plan shall give any Participant or beneficiary any interest in or claim against any specific assets of the Company. 
 6.1
No Enlargement of Rights Nothing in the Plan shall be held or construed to confer upon any individual any right to continue as a member of the Board of Directors. 
  

 -5- 








 6.2 Indemnification Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the
Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) 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 the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (b) 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 claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided that he or she first shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own
expense, to handle and defend the same and if the Company fails to do so, he or she then may undertake to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of
indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them
harmless. 
 6.3 Successors All obligations of the Company under the 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 or assets of the Company. 
 6.4 Beneficiary Designations If permitted by the Committee, a Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any
vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee.
If a Participant designates a person other than or in addition to his or her spouse as a primary beneficiary, the designation shall be ineffective unless the Participant’s spouse consents to the designation. Any spousal consent required under
this Section shall be ineffective unless it (a) is set forth in writing in a form specified in the discretion of the Committee, (b) acknowledges the effect of the Participant’s designation of another person as his or her
beneficiary under the Plan, and (c) is signed by the spouse and witnessed by an authorized agent of the Committee or a notary public. Notwithstanding this consent requirement, if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Committee
that written spousal consent may not be obtained because the spouse cannot be located, his or her designation shall be effective without spousal consent. Any spousal consent required under this Section shall be valid only with respect to the
spouse who signs the consent. A Participant may revoke his or her beneficiary designation at any time, provided that such revocation is in writing. 
 In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any
unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate. 
 6.5 Limited
Transferability of Awards  No Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the limited extent provided
in Section 6.4. All rights with respect to an Award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the 

  

 -6- 








 
Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may, in a manner specified by the Committee, (a) transfer an Award to a Participant’s
spouse, former spouse or dependent pursuant to a court-approved domestic relations order which relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights, and (b) transfer an Award by bona fide gift and not for any
consideration, to (i) a member or members of the Participant’s immediate family, (ii) a trust established for the exclusive benefit of the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s immediate family, (iii) a
partnership, limited liability company or other entity whose only partners or members are the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s immediate family, and/or (iv) a foundation in which the Participant and/or member(s) of the
Participant’s immediate family control the management of the foundation’s assets. 
 6.6 Withholding Requirements Prior to
the payment of any cash pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, if any, required
to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof). 
 6.7 No Rights as Stockholder Except to the limited extent provided
in Section 5.5, no Participant (nor any beneficiary) shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Award. 
 SECTION 7 
 AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, AND DURATION 
 7.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any
time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. No Award may be
granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 
 7.2 Duration of the Plan The Plan shall be effective as
of January 15, 2009, and subject to Section 7.1 (regarding the Board’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), shall remain in effect through January 15, 2019. No Awards may be granted under the Plan after January 15, 2019.
However, the Plan shall remain in effect until all Awards granted on or before that date have been paid, settled or otherwise have expired or been canceled.

 SECTION 8 
 LEGAL CONSTRUCTION 
 8.1 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. 
 8.2 Severability  In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 8.3 Requirements of Law  The granting of Awards and the
issuance of Shares under the 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. 
 8.4 Securities Law Compliance  With respect to Section 16 Persons, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all
applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan, Award Agreement or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

 8.5 Section 409A  The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code so that none of
the payments and benefits provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, including but not
limited to Section 7.1 hereunder, the Board reserves the right to amend the Plan and/or the Awards as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participants, to comply with Section 409A of the
Code and to avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A (provided that no such amendment shall materially reduce the benefits provided hereunder). 
 8.6 Governing Law  The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California (but without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions).
