 7.4 Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem
advisable or appropriate, in accordance with this Section 7.4. For example, the Committee may set restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, divisional, or individual), applicable Federal or state
securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of the restrictions applicable to such Shares.

 7.5 Removal of Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall be
released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse, and remove any restrictions; provided, however, that the
Period of Restriction on Shares granted to a Section 16 Person may not lapse until at least six (6) months after the Grant Date. After the restrictions have lapsed, the Participant shall be entitled to have any legend or legends under
Section 7.4 removed from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares shall be freely transferable by the Participant.

distribution that constitutes a “derivative security” or an “equity security” under section 16 of the 1934 Act shall be subject to a Period of Restriction equal to the longer of: (a) the remaining Period of Restriction on
the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the dividend or distribution is paid; or (b) six (6) months.

Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Employees and Consultants at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee shall
have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to any Participant. 
 8.2 Initial
Value. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee on or before the Grant Date. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

 8.3 Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Committee shall set performance objectives in its discretion which, depending on
the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units or Shares that will be paid out to the Participants. The Committee may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or
individual goals, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion. The time period during which the performance objectives must be met shall be called the “Performance Period”. Performance Periods of Awards granted to
Section 16 Persons shall exceed six (6) months in length (or such shorter period as may be permissible while maintaining compliance with Rule 16b-3). Each Award of Performance Units/Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that
shall specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
 8.4
Earning of Performance Units and Performance Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units or Shares earned during the Performance Period,
depending upon the extent to which the applicable performance objectives have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit or Share, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives for Award; provided
that Performance Periods of Awards granted to Section 16 Persons shall not be less than six (6) months (or such shorter period as may be permissible while maintaining compliance with Rule 16b-3). 
 8.5 Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be made as soon as practicable after the
expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned such Awards in cash, Shares or a combination thereof. 
 8.6 Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be forfeited to the Company, and again shall be available for grant under
the Plan. 
  

	9.	Nonemployee Directors 








 9.1 Granting of Options. If any class of equity securities of the Company is registered under
section 12 of the 1934 Act, on the first trading day of each fiscal quarter of the Company, each Nonemployee Director will automatically receive under the Plan a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase 3,750 Shares. Future automatic grants will cease
and be suspended at any time that there are not sufficient Shares available under the Plan. Grants of Options under this Section 9 shall supersede and replace the automatic grant of options under the Company’s 1994 Stock Option Plan.

 9.2 Terms of Options. 
 9.2.1 Option Agreement. Each Option granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement which shall be executed by the Participant and the Company. 
 9.2.2 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for the Shares subject to each Option granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be 100% of the Fair
Market Value of such Shares on the Grant Date. 
 9.2.3 Exercisability. Each Option granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall
become exercisable in full one year after the date the Option is granted. If a Nonemployee Director incurs a Termination of Service for a reason other than Retirement, death or Disability, his or her Options which are not exercisable on the date of
such Termination shall never become exercisable. If the Termination of Service is on account of Retirement, death or Disability, the Option shall become exercisable in full on the date of the Termination of Service. 
 9.2.4 Expiration of Options. Each Option shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following events: 
 (a) The expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; or 
 (b) The expiration of three (3) months from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death, Disability or Retirement; or 
 (c) The expiration of one (1) year from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Disability or Retirement. 

9.2.5 Death of Director. Notwithstanding Section 9.2.4, if a Director dies prior to the expiration of his or her options in accordance
with Section 9.2.4, his or her options shall terminate one (1) year after the date of his or her death. 
 9.2.6 Special Rule
for Retirement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2.4, if the exercisability of an Option is accelerated under Section 9.2.3 on account of the Participant’s Retirement, such Option shall terminate upon the first to occur
of: (a) The expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option was granted; or (b) the expiration of one year from the date of the Participant’s death. 
 9.2.7 Not Incentive Stock Options. Options granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall not be designated as Incentive Stock Options. 

9.2.8 Other Terms. All provisions of the Plan not inconsistent with this Section 9 shall apply to Options granted to Nonemployee
Directors; provided, however, that Section 5.2 (relating to the Committee’s discretion to set the terms and conditions of Options) shall be inapplicable with respect to Nonemployee Directors. 
 9.3 Elections by Nonemployee Directors. Pursuant to such procedures as the Board (in its discretion) may adopt from time to time, each Nonemployee
Director may elect to forego receipt of all or a portion of committee fees and meeting fees otherwise due to the Nonemployee Director in exchange for Shares. The number of Shares received by any Nonemployee Director shall equal the amount of
foregone compensation divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that the compensation otherwise would have been paid to the Nonemployee Director, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares. 








 
The procedures adopted by the Board for elections under this Section 9.3 shall be designed to ensure that any such election by a Nonemployee Director
will not disqualify him or her as a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3. 
  

	10.	Section 162(m) Deduction Qualification 

 10.1
Awards for Covered Officers. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, all Awards to Covered Officers shall be made in a manner that allows for the full deductibility of the Award by the Company or its Subsidiaries under
Section 162(m) of the Code. All Awards for Covered Officers shall comply with the provisions of this of this Section 10. 
 10.2
Designation of Covered Officers. For each Performance Period, the Committee will designate which Participants are Covered Officers prior to the completion of 25% of the Performance Period (or such earlier or later date as is permitted or
required by Section 162(m)). 
 10.3 Establishment of Performance Goals and Awards for Covered Officers. Prior to the completion
of 25% of a Performance Period (or such earlier or later date as is permitted or required by Section 162(m)), the Committee shall in its sole discretion, for each such Performance Period: (a) determine and establish in writing one or more
Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Period for each Covered Officer; and (b) either (i) assign each Covered Officer a target Award expressed as a fixed number of Shares or a whole dollar amount or (ii) establish a payout
table or formula for purposes of determining the Award payable to each Covered Officer. Each payout table or formula: (a) shall be in writing; (b) shall be based on a comparison of actual performance to the Performance Goals; (c) may
include a “floor” which is the level of achievement of the Performance Goal in which payout begins; and (d) shall provide for an actual Award equal to or less than the Covered Officer’s target Award, depending on the extent to
which actual performance approached or reached the Performance Goal. Such preestablished Performance Goals and Awards must state, in terms of an objective formula or standard, the method for computing the amount of the Award payable to each Covered
Officer if the Performance Goal is met. A formula or standard is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant performance results could calculate the amount to be paid to the Covered Officer. The Committee may establish any number of
Performance Periods, Performance Goals and Awards for any Covered Officer running concurrently, in whole or in part, provided, that in so doing the Committee does not jeopardize the Company’s deduction for such Awards under Section 162(m)
of the Code. The Committee may select different Performance Goals and Awards for different Covered Officers. 
 10.4 Certification of
Achievement of Performance Goals and Amount of Awards. After the end of each Performance Period, or such earlier date if the Performance Goals are achieved, the Committee shall certify in writing, prior to the unconditional payment of any Award,
that the Performance Goals for the Performance Period and all other material terms of the Plan were satisfied and to what extent they were satisfied. The Committee shall determine the actual Award for each Covered Officer based on the payout
table/formula established in section 10.3, as the case may be. Extraordinary Events shall either be excluded or included in determining the extent to which the corresponding Performance Goal has been achieved, whichever will produce the higher
Award, provided, however, notwithstanding the attainment of specified Performance Goals, the Committee has the discretion to reduce or eliminate an Award that would otherwise be paid to any Participant, including any Covered Officer, based on the
Committee’s evaluation of Extraordinary Events or other factors. Without limiting the manner of computing Awards set forth in the preceding sentence, with respect to Covered Officers, the Committee may not under any circumstances increase the
amount of an Award. 
 10.5 Maximum Award. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate Awards payable to
any Participant under the Plan for any Performance Period shall not exceed One Million (1,000,000) Shares, which maximum number of Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.3. 
  

	11.	Miscellaneous 








 11.1 Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary,
in the event of a breach of conduct by a Participant or former Participant (including, without limitation, any conduct prejudicial to or in conflict with the Company or an Affiliate), or any activity of a Participant or former Participant in
competition with any of the businesses of the Company or an Affiliate, the Committee may (a) cancel any outstanding Award granted to the Participant, in whole or in part, whether or not vested, and/or (b) if such conduct or activity occurs
within one year following the exercise or payment of an Award, require the former Participant to repay the Company any gain realized or payment received upon the exercise or payment of such Award (with such gain or repayment valued as of the date of
exercise or payment). Such cancellation or repayment obligation shall be effective as of the date specified by the Committee. Any repayment obligation may be satisfied in Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof (based upon the Fair Market
Value of Common Stock on the day prior to the date of payment), and the Committee may provide for an offset to any future payments owed by the Company or Affiliate to such person if necessary to satisfy the repayment obligation. The determination of
whether any Participant or or former Participant has engaged in a breach of conduct or any activity in competition with any of the businesses of the Company or an Affiliate shall be determined by the Committee in good faith and in its sole
discretion. 
 11.2 No Effect on Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) shall
not be deemed a Termination of Service. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. 
 11.3
Participation. No Employee or Consultant 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. 
 11.4 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 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 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. 
 11.5 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. 
 11.6 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. 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. 
 11.7 Nontransferability of Awards; Unfunded Plan. 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 11.5. All rights with respect to an Award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her
lifetime only to the Participant. 








 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may transfer a Nonqualified Stock Option either (a) to members of his or her immediate family (as defined
in Rule 16a-1 promulgated under the 1934 Act), to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships or other entities in which such family members are the only partners or owners, provided that the Participant does not
receive any consideration for the transfer, or (b) if such transfer is approved by the Committee. Any Nonqualified Stock Option held by such transferees are subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to such Nonqualified Stock
Options immediately prior to transfer based on the transferor Participant’s continuing relationship with the Company. It is intended that the Plan be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. The Plan does not give a Participant
any interest, lien or claim against any specific asset of the Company. No Participant or beneficiary shall have any rights under this Plan other than as a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 
 11.8 No Rights as Stockholder. Except to the limited extent provided in Sections 7.6 and 7.7, no Participant (nor any beneficiary) shall have any
of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the
Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (or beneficiary). 
 11.9 Withholding Requirements.
Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), 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 (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof). 
 11.10 Withholding Arrangements. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding obligations
in connection with an Award by (a) having the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or (b) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the
withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount which the Committee determines, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to
the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld. 
 11.11 Deferrals. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares
that would otherwise be delivered to a Participant under the Plan. Any such deferral elections shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
  

	12.	Amendment, Termination, and Duration 

 12.1
Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. However, if and to the extent required to maintain the Plan’s qualification
under Rule 16b-3, any such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval. In addition, as required by Rule 16b-3, the provisions of Section 9 regarding the formula for determining the amount, exercise price, and timing of Nonemployee
Director Options shall in no event be amended more than once every six (6) months, other than to comport with changes in the Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). (ERISA is inapplicable to
the Plan.) 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 previously granted to such Participant. No Award may be granted during any
period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 
 12.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall commence on the date specified
herein, and subject to Section 12.1 (regarding the Board’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), shall remain in effect 








 
thereafter. However, without further stockholder approval, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after March 16, 2009. 
  

	13.	Legal Construction 

 13.1 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. 
 13.2 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. 
 13.3 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. 
 13.4 Compliance with Rule 16b-3. Transactions under this Plan with respect to Section 16 Persons
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. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, if the Committee specifically determines that compliance with Rule 16b-3 no longer is required, all references in the Plan to Rule 16b-3 shall be null and void.

 13.5 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State
of Delaware. 
 13.6 Captions. Captions are provided herein for convenience only, and shall not serve as a basis for interpretation or
