“Effective Date”). 
 1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the
interests of the Participating Company Group and its shareholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for the Participating Company Group and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and

(50%) of the total Fair Market Value or total combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors; provided, however, that a

(m) “Covered Employee” means, at any time the Plan is subject to Section 162(m), any Employee who is or may
reasonably be expected to become a “covered employee” as defined in Section 162(m), or any successor statute, and who is designated, either as an individual Employee or a member of a class of Employees, by the Committee no later than
the earlier of (i) the date that is ninety (90) days after the beginning of the Performance Period, or (ii) the date on which twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period has elapsed, as a “Covered Employee”

employee) in the records of a Participating Company and, with respect to any Incentive Stock Option granted to such person, who is an employee for purposes of Section 422 of the Code; provided, however, that neither service as a Director nor
payment of a Director’s fee shall be sufficient to constitute employment for purposes of the Plan. The Company shall determine in good faith and in the exercise of its discretion whether an individual has become or has ceased to be an Employee
and the effective date of such individual’s employment or termination of employment, as the case may be. For purposes of an individual’s rights, if any, under the terms of the Plan as of the time of the Company’s determination of
whether or not the individual is an Employee, all such determinations by the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive as to such rights, if any, notwithstanding that the Company or any court of law or governmental agency subsequently makes a

using actual transactions in the Shares as reported on a national or regional securities exchange or quotation system, or on any other basis consistent with the requirements of Section 409A (including, but not limited to, the determination of
Fair Market Value based on the average selling price of the Shares during a specified period that is within thirty (30) days before or thirty (30) days after such date, provided that, with respect to the grant of an Option, the commitment
to grant such Award based on such valuation method must be irrevocable before the beginning of the specified period). The Committee may vary its method of determination of the Fair Market Value as provided in this Section for different purposes
under the Plan to the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 (iii) If, on such date, the Shares are not listed or
quoted on a national or regional securities exchange or quotation system, the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be as determined by the Committee in good faith without regard to any restriction other than a restriction which, by its terms, will
never lapse, and in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.

and shall conform to the provisions of the Plan, and (c) each such Award shall conform to such other limits and guidelines as may be established from time to time by the Board and/or the Committee. 

3.3 Administration with Respect to Insiders. With respect to participation by Insiders in the Plan, at any time that any class of
equity security of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Plan shall be administered in compliance with the requirements, if any, of Rule 16b-3. 

3.4 Committee Complying with Section 162(m). If the Company is a “publicly held corporation” within the meaning
of Section 162(m), the Board may establish a Committee of “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) to approve the grant of any Award intended to result in the payment of Performance-Based Compensation. 

3.5 Powers of the Committee. In addition to any other powers set forth in the Plan and subject to the provisions
of the Plan, the Committee shall have the full and final power and authority, in its discretion: 
 (a) to determine the persons to whom,
and the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted and the number of Shares, units or monetary value to be subject to each Award; 

(b) to determine the type of Award granted; 

(c) to determine the Fair Market Value of Shares or other property; 

(d) to determine whether an Award shall be intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation; 

(e) to determine the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to each Award (which need not be identical) and any shares acquired
pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, (i) the exercise or purchase price of shares pursuant to any Award, (ii) the method of payment for shares purchased pursuant to any Award, (iii) the method for satisfaction of any tax
withholding obligation arising in connection with any Award, including by the withholding or delivery of Shares, (iv) the timing, terms and conditions of the exercisability or vesting of any Award or any shares acquired pursuant thereto,
(v) the Performance Measures, Performance Period, Performance Award Formula and Performance Goals applicable to any Award and the extent to which such Performance Goals have been attained, (vi) the time of expiration of any Award,

 (i) to accelerate, continue, extend or defer the
exercisability or vesting of any Award or any shares acquired pursuant thereto, including with respect to the period following a Participant’s termination of Service; 

(j) to prescribe, amend or rescind rules, guidelines and policies relating to the Plan, or to adopt sub-plans or supplements to, or
alternative versions of, the Plan, including, without limitation, as the Committee deems necessary or desirable to comply with the laws of, or to accommodate the tax policy, accounting principles or custom of, foreign jurisdictions whose residents
may be granted Awards; and 
 (k) to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award
Agreement and to make all other determinations and take such other actions with respect to the Plan or any Award as the Committee may deem advisable to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or applicable law. 

3.6 Option Repricing. The Committee shall have the authority, without additional approval by the shareholders of the Company, to
approve a program providing for either (a) the cancellation of outstanding Options having exercise prices per share greater than the then Fair Market Value of a Share (“Underwater Awards”) and the grant in substitution
for Underwater Awards of new Options covering the same or a different number of shares but having a lower exercise price per share then on the original grant date, or payments in cash, or (b) the substitution of other Awards for Underwater
Awards. 
 3.7 Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the
Committee or as officers or employees of the Participating Company Group, to the extent permitted by applicable law, members of the Board or the Committee and any officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for
the Board, the Committee or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by
them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it
shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or
proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same. 
  

	 	4.	SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. 


4.1 Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4, the maximum aggregate
number of Shares that may be 

  
 10 








 
issued under the Plan shall be equal to 1,280,000 shares and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired Shares or any combination thereof. Notwithstanding the forgoing, and subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 4.4, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to issuance at any given time in connection with outstanding Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed a number equal to ten percent
(10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis). All of the Shares issuable under the Plan, after taking into account any applicable adjustment under Sections 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 may be issued as
Incentive Stock Options. 
 4.2 Annual Increase in Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4.4, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan as set forth in Section 4.1 shall be cumulatively increased on July 1, 2015 and on each subsequent July 1 through and including July 1,
2024, by a number of shares (the “Annual Increase”) equal to the smaller of (a) four percent (4%) of the number of Shares of the Company issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding June 30, or
(b) an amount determined by the Board. 
 4.3 Share Counting. If an outstanding Award for any reason expires or is terminated or
canceled without having been exercised or settled in full, or if Shares acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company for an amount not greater than the Participant’s purchase
price, the Shares allocable to the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased Shares shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any
portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Shares withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 14.2 with respect to Options shall not be available for issuance under the Plan,
however, shares withheld for such basis on other Awards shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. If the exercise price of an Option is paid by means of a Net Exercise, then the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan
shall be reduced by the gross number of shares subject to the Option exercise. If the exercise price of an Option is paid by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of Shares owned by the Participant, the number of shares available
for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the Option is exercised. 
 4.4 Adjustments for
Changes in Capital Structure. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company and the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code to the extent applicable, in the event of any change in the Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, share dividend, share split, reverse share split, split-up, split-off, spin-off,
combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the shareholders of the Company in a form other than Shares (excepting regular,
periodic cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of Shares, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Awards, the Annual Increase,
and in the exercise or purchase price per share under any outstanding Award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the 

  
 11 








 
Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to
outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the “New Shares”), the Committee may unilaterally
amend the outstanding Awards to provide that such Awards are for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise or purchase price per share of, the outstanding Awards shall be adjusted in a fair and
equitable manner as determined by the Committee, in its discretion. Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the exercise or purchase price per share shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole cent, and in no event may the exercise or purchase price, if any, under any Award be decreased to an amount less than the nominal value, if any, of the Shares subject to such Award. The Committee in its discretion,
may also make such adjustments in the terms of any Award to reflect, or related to, such changes in the capital structure of the Company or distributions as it deems appropriate, including modification of Performance Goals, Performance Award
Formulas and Performance Periods. The adjustments determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section shall be final, binding and conclusive.  

4.5 Assumption or Substitution of Awards. The Committee may, without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder,
authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or Shares, or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, subject to compliance with
Section 409A, any other applicable provisions of the Code and/or applicable laws. 
  

	 	5.	ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION, MINIMUM EXERCISE/PURCHASE PRICE, AND INCENTIVE
STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS. 

 5.1 Persons Eligible for
Awards. Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants and Directors. 
 5.2 Participation in the Plan. Awards are granted
solely at the discretion of the Committee. Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award. However, eligibility in accordance with this Section shall not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted
an additional Award. 
 5.3 Minimum Exercise/Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent
required by applicable law, the minimum exercise or purchase price for a Share shall, after taking into account any adjustment pursuant to Section 4.4, assumption or substitution pursuant to Section 4.5, or any other provisions in the Plan
impacting the exercise or purchase price for a Share not be less than the nominal value of a Share. 
 5.4 Incentive Stock Option
Limitations.  
 (a) Persons Eligible. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who, on the
effective date of grant, is an Employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation (each being an “ISO-Qualifying Corporation”). Any person who is not an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying
Corporation on the effective date of the grant of an Option to such person may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 

  
 12 








 (b) Fair Market Value Limitation. To the extent that options designated as
Incentive Stock Options (granted under all equity plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year for Shares having a Fair Market Value greater than One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portion of such options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the
order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such Shares are granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation different from that set forth in this
Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and
as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall be
deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Upon exercise of the Option, shares issued pursuant to each such portion of the Option shall be separately identified. 

 

	 	6.	SHARE OPTIONS. 

 Options shall be
evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Shares covered thereby, in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject
to the following terms and conditions: 
 6.1 Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the
discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
Percent Owner shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 5.3, an
Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another
option in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Sections 409A or 424(a) of the Code. 
 6.2 Exercisability and Term of
Options. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award
Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of seven (7) years after the effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
Percent Owner shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option and (c) no Option granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards 

  
 13 








 
Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first exercisable until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of such Option (except in the event of such Employee’s death, disability or
retirement, upon a Change in Control, or as otherwise permitted by the Worker Economic Opportunity Act). Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of an Option, each Option shall terminate seven
(7) years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions. 
 6.3
Payment of Exercise Price. 
 (a) Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of
the exercise price for the number of Shares being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent; (ii) if permitted by the Committee and subject to the limitations contained in
Section 6.3(b), by means of (1) a Cashless Exercise, (2) a Share Tender Exercise or (3) a Net Exercise; (iii) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by
applicable law, or (iv) by any combination thereof. The Committee may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise
restrict one or more forms of consideration, taking into account such considerations as it deems advisable, including, without limitation, the permissibility of such provisions under applicable law. 

(b) Limitations on Forms of Consideration. 

(i) Cashless Exercise. A “Cashless Exercise” means the delivery of a properly executed notice of
exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without
limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s
sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company
notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants. 
 (ii) Share Tender Exercise. A
“Share Tender Exercise” means the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice accompanied by a Participant’s tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, in a form acceptable to the Company
of whole Shares owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. A Share Tender Exercise shall not be permitted if it would constitute
a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s Shares. If required by the Company, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of
Shares unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for a period of time required by the Company (and not used for another option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Company. 

  
 14 








 (iii) Net Exercise. A “Net Exercise” means the
delivery of a properly executed exercise notice followed by a procedure pursuant to which (1) the Company will reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option by the largest whole number of shares
having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and (2) the Participant shall pay to the Company in cash the remaining balance of such aggregate exercise
price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued. 
 (iv) Minimum payment Required. If any of
the foregoing exercise methods are implemented, the Company shall establish procedures, if required by applicable law, for the payment of a Share’s nominal value in a form acceptable under applicable law. 

6.4 Effect of Termination of Service. 

(a) Option Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided by this Plan and unless otherwise
provided by the Committee, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent it
is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter shall terminate. 
 (i)
Disability. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may
be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which
the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option (the “Option Expiration
Date”). 
 (ii) Death. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, the
Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise
the Option by reason of the Participant’s death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated,
but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Participant’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies within three (3) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the
Award Agreement) after the Participant’s termination of Service. 
 (iii) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause or if, following the Participant’s termination of Service and during any period in which the Option otherwise would remain exercisable, the
Participant engages in any act that would constitute Cause, the Option shall terminate in its entirety and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service or act. 

  
 15 








 (iv) Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates
for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the
expiration of three (3) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. 

(b) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination of Service for
Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.4(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 14 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until the later of (i) thirty (30) days
after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions or (ii) the end of the applicable time period under Section 6.4(a), but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. 

6.5 Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the
Participant’s guardian or legal representative. An Option shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the
Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such
Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act. An
Incentive Stock shall not be assignable or transferable. 
  

	 	7.	RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS. 


Restricted Share Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Restricted Share Units subject to the Award, in
such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

7.1 Grant of Restricted Share Unit Awards. Restricted Share Unit Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall
determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 8.4. If either the grant of a Restricted Share Unit Award or the Vesting Conditions with respect to such Award is to be
contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 8.3 through 8.5(a). 

7.2 Purchase Price. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) shall be required as a condition of receiving a
Restricted Share Unit Award, 

  
 16 








 
the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall
furnish consideration having a value not less than the required minimum payment for the Shares issued upon settlement of the Restricted Share Unit Award in such form as may be required and/or permitted under applicable law. 

7.3 Vesting. Restricted Share Unit Awards may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such
Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 8.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such
Award. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Share Unit Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to the Award would otherwise occur on a day on
which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Trading Compliance Policy, then the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on the first to occur of (a) the next trading day on which the sale
of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy; and (b) the last day of the calendar year in which the original vesting date occurred. 

7.4 Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights, and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares
represented by Restricted Share Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion,
may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Share Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Shares during the period beginning on the date such
Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid by crediting the Participant with
a cash amount or with additional whole Restricted Share Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Shares, as determined by the Committee. The number of additional Restricted Share Units (rounded down to the nearest whole number), if
any, to be credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of Shares represented by the Restricted Share Units previously credited to the Participant by
(b) the Fair Market Value per Share on such date. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided by the Award Agreement, such cash amount or additional Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and
shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Share Units originally subject to the Restricted Share Unit Award. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in Shares or other property or any other adjustment made
upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.4, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Restricted Share Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and
all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the Shares issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or
additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the Award. 

  
 17 








 7.5 Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set
forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Share Unit Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or disability), then the Participant shall
forfeit to the Company any Restricted Share Units pursuant to the Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service. 

7.6 Settlement of Restricted Share Unit Awards. The Company shall issue to a Participant on the date on which Restricted Share Units
subject to the Participant’s Restricted Share Unit Award vest or on such other date determined by the Committee in compliance with Section 409A, if applicable, and set forth in the Award Agreement one (1) Share (and/or any other new,
substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant to an adjustment described in Section 7.4) for each Restricted Share Unit then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable
taxes, if any. If permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt of all or any portion of the Shares or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to
this Section, and such deferred issuance date(s) and amount(s) elected by the Participant shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for settlement of any Restricted Share
Unit Award by payment to the Participant in cash of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the payment date of the Shares or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section. 

7.7 Nontransferability of Restricted Share Unit Awards. The right to receive shares pursuant to a Restricted Share Unit Award shall not
be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Share Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 

 

	 	8.	PERFORMANCE AWARDS. 

 Performance
Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions: 
 8.1 Types of Performance Awards Authorized. Performance Awards may be granted in the form of either Performance Shares
or Performance Units. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units subject thereto, the Performance Award Formula, the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Period applicable
to the Award, and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award. 
 8.2 Initial Value of Performance Shares and Performance
Units. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in granting a Performance Award, each Performance Share 

  
 18 








 
shall have an initial monetary value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) Share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4, on the effective date of grant of the Performance
Share, and each Performance Unit shall have an initial monetary value established by the Committee at the time of grant. The final value payable to the Participant in settlement of a Performance Award determined on the basis of the applicable
Performance Award Formula will depend on the extent to which Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period established by the Committee. 

8.3 Establishment of Performance Period, Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula. In granting each Performance Award, the
Committee shall establish in writing the applicable Performance Period, Performance Award Formula and one or more Performance Goals which, when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine on the basis of the Performance Award
Formula the final value of the Performance Award to be paid to the Participant. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements under Section 162(m) with respect to each Performance Award intended to result in the payment of
Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall establish the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award Formula applicable to each Performance Award no later than the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of
the applicable Performance Period or (b) the date on which 25% of the Performance Period has elapsed, and, in any event, at a time when the outcome of the Performance Goals remains substantially uncertain. Once established, the Performance
Goals and Performance Award Formula applicable to a Performance Award intended to result in the payment of Performance-Based Compensation to a Covered Employee shall not be changed during the Performance Period. The Company shall notify each
Participant granted a Performance Award of the terms of such Award, including the Performance Period, Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award Formula. 

8.4 Measurement of Performance Goals. Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee on the basis of targets to be attained
(“Performance Targets”) with respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance (each, a “Performance Measure”), subject to the following: 

(a) Performance Measures. Performance Measures shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s financial statements,
or, if such measures are not reported in the Company’s financial statements, they shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, a method used generally in the Company’s industry, or in accordance with a
methodology established by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award. As specified by the Committee, Performance Measures shall be calculated with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary Corporation consolidated therewith for
financial reporting purposes, one or more Subsidiary Corporations or such division or other business unit of any of them selected by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award, the
Performance Measures applicable to the Performance Award shall be calculated prior to the accrual of expense for any Performance Award for the same Performance Period and excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) on the Performance
Measures of any change in accounting standards or any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item, as determined by the Committee, occurring after the establishment of the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Award. Each such adjustment,
if any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from period to period for the 

  
 19 








 
calculation of Performance Measures in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights with respect to a Performance Award. Performance Measures may be based upon
one or more of the following, as determined by the Committee: (i) revenue; (ii) sales; (iii) expenses; (iv) operating income; (v) gross margin; (vi) operating margin; (vii) earnings before any one or more of:
share-based compensation expense, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (viii) pre-tax profit; (ix) net operating income; (x) net income; (xi) economic value added; (xii) free cash flow; (xiii) operating cash
flow; (xiv) balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; (xv) Share price; (xvi) earnings per share; (xvii) return on shareholder equity; (xviii) return on capital; (xix) return on assets;
(xx) return on investment; (xxi) total shareholder return; (xxii) employee satisfaction; (xxiii) employee retention; (xxiv) market share; (xxv) customer satisfaction; (xxvi) product development;
(xxvii) research and development expenses; (xxviii) completion of an identified special project; and (xxix) completion of a joint venture or other corporate transaction. 

(b) Performance Targets. Performance Targets may include a minimum, maximum, target level and intermediate levels of
performance, with the final value of a Performance Award determined under the applicable Performance Award Formula by the Performance Target level attained during the applicable Performance Period. A Performance Target may be stated as an absolute
value, an increase or decrease in a value, or as a value determined relative to an index, budget or other standard selected by the Committee. 

8.5 Settlement of Performance Awards. 

(a) Determination of Final Value. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a
Performance Award, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained and the resulting final value of the Award earned by the Participant and to be paid upon its settlement in accordance
with the applicable Performance Award Formula. 
 (b) Discretionary Adjustment of Award Formula. In its discretion, the
Committee may, either at the time it grants a Performance Award or at any time thereafter, provide for the positive or negative adjustment of the Performance Award Formula applicable to a Performance Award granted to any Participant who is not a
Covered Employee to reflect such Participant’s individual performance in his or her position with the Company or such other factors as the Committee may determine. If permitted under a Covered Employee’s Award Agreement, the Committee
shall have the discretion, on the basis of such criteria as may be established by the Committee, to reduce some or all of the value of the Performance Award that would otherwise be paid to the Covered Employee upon its settlement notwithstanding the
attainment of any Performance Goal and the resulting value of the Performance Award determined in accordance with the Performance Award Formula. No such reduction may result in an increase in the amount payable upon settlement of another
Participant’s Performance Award that is intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation. 
 (c) Effect of Leaves of
Absence. Unless otherwise required by law or a Participant’s Award Agreement, payment of the final value, if any, of a Performance Award held by a Participant who has taken in excess of thirty (30) days in unpaid leaves of absence
during a Performance Period shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days of the Participant’s Service during the Performance Period during which the Participant was not on an unpaid leave of absence. 

  
 20 








 (d) Notice to Participants. As soon as practicable following the Committee’s
determination and certification in accordance with Sections 8.5(a) and (b), the Company shall notify each Participant of the determination of the Committee. 

(e) Payment in Settlement of Performance Awards. As soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination and
certification in accordance with Sections 8.5(a) and (b), but in any event within the Short-Term Deferral Period described in Section 13.1 (except as otherwise provided below or consistent with the requirements of Section 409A),
payment shall be made to each eligible Participant (or such Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to receive such payment by reason of the Participant’s death) of the final value of the
Participant’s Performance Award. Payment of such amount shall be made in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award, payment shall be
made in a lump sum. If permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt of all or any portion of the payment to be made to the Participant pursuant to this Section, and
such deferred payment date(s) elected by the Participant shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. If any payment is to be made on a deferred basis, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, provide for the payment during the deferral
period of Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest. 
 (f) Provisions Applicable to Payment in Shares. If payment is to be made
in Shares, the number of such shares shall be determined by dividing the final value of the Performance Award by the Fair Market Value of a Share determined by the method specified in the Award Agreement. Shares issued in payment of any Performance
Award may be fully vested and freely transferable shares or may be Shares subject to Vesting Conditions. 
 8.6 Voting Rights; Dividend
Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares represented by Performance Share Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares, if any (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Performance Share Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend
Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Shares during the period beginning on the date the Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date on which the Performance
Shares are settled or the date on which they are forfeited. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be credited to the Participant either in cash or in the form of additional whole Performance Shares as of the date of payment of such cash
dividends on Shares, as determined by the Committee. The number of additional Performance Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number), if any, to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on the
dividend payment date with respect to the number of Shares represented by the Performance Shares previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per Share on such date. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be paid currently or may
be accumulated and paid to the extent that Performance Shares become nonforfeitable, as determined by the Committee. Settlement of Dividend Equivalent 

  
 21 








 
Rights may be made in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee, and may be paid on the same basis as settlement of the related Performance Share as provided in
Section 8.5. Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not be paid with respect to Performance Units. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in Shares or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the
Company as described in Section 4.4, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Performance Share Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or
other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the Shares issuable upon settlement of the Performance Share Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other
property shall be immediately subject to the same Performance Goals as are applicable to the Award. 
 8.7 Effect of Termination of
Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award, the effect of a Participant’s termination of Service on the Performance Award shall be as follows: 

(a) Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death or Disability of the Participant
before the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, the final value of the Participant’s Performance Award shall be determined by the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained with
respect to the entire Performance Period and shall be prorated based on the number of months of the Participant’s Service during the Performance Period. Payment shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted
by Section 8.5. 
 (b) Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason except
death or Disability before the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, such Award shall be forfeited in its entirety; provided, however, that in the event of an involuntary termination of the Participant’s
Service, the Committee, in its discretion, may waive the automatic forfeiture of all or any portion of any such Award and determine the final value of the Performance Award in the manner provided by Section 8.7(a). Payment of any amount
pursuant to this Section shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted by Section 8.5. 
 8.8
Nontransferability of Performance Awards. Prior to settlement in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, no Performance Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Performance Award granted to a Participant hereunder
shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 

  
 22 









	 	9.	CASH-BASED AWARDS AND OTHER SHARE-BASED AWARDS. 


Cash-Based Awards and Other Share-Based Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award
Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

9.1 Grant of Cash-Based Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may
grant Cash-Based Awards to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions, including the achievement of performance criteria, as the Committee may determine. 

9.2 Grant of Other Share-Based Awards. The Committee may grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not
otherwise described by the terms of this Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted securities, share-equivalent units, stock appreciation units, securities or debentures convertible into Shares or other forms determined by the
Committee) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Other Share-Based Awards may be made available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards or as payment in lieu of compensation to
which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Share-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual Shares to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares and may include, without limitation, Awards
designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws. 
 9.3 Value of Cash-Based and Other Share-Based Awards.
Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a monetary payment amount or payment range as determined by the Committee. Each Other Share-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of Shares or units based on such Shares, as determined by the Committee. The
Committee may require the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 8.4, as shall be established by the Committee and
set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance criteria, the final value of Cash-Based Awards or Other Share-Based Awards that will be paid to the Participant will depend on
the extent to which the performance criteria are met. The establishment of performance criteria with respect to the grant or vesting of any Cash-Based Award or Other Share-Based Award intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation shall follow
procedures substantially equivalent to those applicable to Performance Awards set forth in Section 8. 
 9.4 Payment or Settlement
of Cash-Based Awards and Other Share-Based Awards. Payment or settlement, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award or an Other Share-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, in cash, Shares or other
securities or any combination thereof as the Committee determines. The determination and certification of the final value with respect to any Cash-Based Award or Other Share-Based Award intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation shall
comply with the requirements applicable to Performance Awards set forth in Section 8. To the extent applicable, payment or settlement with respect to each Cash-Based Award and Other Share-Based Award shall be made in compliance with the
requirements of Section 409A. 
 9.5 Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no
voting rights with respect to Shares represented by Other Share-Based Awards until the date of the issuance of such Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), if
any, in settlement of such Award. However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Other Share-Based Award that the Participant shall be entitled to 

  
 23 








 
Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Shares during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each Share subject to
the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 7.4. Dividend Equivalent Rights
shall not be granted with respect to Cash-Based Awards. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in Shares or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.4,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Other Share-Based Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic
cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the Shares issuable upon settlement of such Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting
Conditions and performance criteria, if any, as are applicable to the Award. 
 9.6 Effect of Termination of Service. Each Award
Agreement evidencing a Cash-Based Award or Other Share-Based Award shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain such Award following termination of the Participant’s Service. Such provisions shall be
determined in the discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Cash-Based Awards or Other Share-Based Awards, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination, subject to the requirements of Section 409A, if
applicable. 
 9.7 Nontransferability of Cash-Based Awards and Other Share-Based Awards. Prior to the payment or settlement of a
Cash-Based Award or Other Share-Based Award, the Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the
Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any Shares issued in settlement of Cash-Based Awards and Other Share-Based Awards as it may
deem advisable, including, without limitation, minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded,
or under any state securities laws or foreign law applicable to such Shares. 
  

	 	10.	STANDARD FORMS OF AWARD AGREEMENT. 


10.1 Award Agreements. Each Award shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
appropriate form of Award Agreement approved by the Committee and as amended from time to time. No Award or purported Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement, which execution
may be evidenced by electronic means. 
 10.2 Authority to Vary Terms. The Committee shall have the authority
from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Award Agreement either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Award or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the
terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Award Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. 

  
 24 









	 	11.	CHANGE IN CONTROL. 


11.1 Effect of Change in Control on Awards. Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A, if applicable, the
Committee may provide for any one or more of the following: 
 (a) Accelerated Vesting. In its discretion, the
Committee may provide in the grant of any Award or at any other time may take action it deems appropriate to provide for acceleration of the exercisability, settlement, and/or vesting in connection with a Change in Control of each or any outstanding
Award or portion thereof and shares acquired pursuant thereto upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon, or following the Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee determines. Further,
unless otherwise provided by the applicable Award Agreement or determined by the Committee and subject to Section 13.4(f), in the event that the Acquiror (as defined below) elects not to assume, continue or substitute for, in accordance with
Section 11.1(b), any portion of an Award outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control, the exercisability and/or vesting of such portion of the Award held by a Participant whose Service has not terminated prior to the Change in
Control shall be accelerated in full effective as of a date prior to, but conditioned upon, the consummation of the Change in Control as determined by the Committee. 

(b) Assumption, Continuation or Substitution. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or
purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), may, without the consent of any Participant, assume, substitute for, or continue the Company’s rights
and obligations under each or any Award or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control or substitute for each or any such outstanding Award or portion thereof a substantially equivalent award with respect to the
Acquiror’s shares, as applicable. For purposes of this Section, if so determined by the Committee in its discretion, an Award denominated in Shares shall be deemed assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to
receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether shares, cash, other securities or property or a
combination thereof) to which a holder of a Share on the effective date of the Change in Control was entitled (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration is not solely common stock of the Acquiror, the Committee may, with the consent of the Acquiror, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or settlement of the Award, for
each Share subject to the Award, to consist solely of common stock of the Acquiror equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares pursuant to the Change in Control. Any Award or portion thereof which is
neither assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised or settled as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of
consummation of the Change in Control. 

  
 25 








 (c) Cash-Out of Outstanding Share-Based Awards. The Committee may, in its
discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award denominated in Shares or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control and not previously
exercised or settled shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee) of Shares subject to such canceled Award in (i) cash, (ii) Shares or of a
corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per Share in
the Change in Control, reduced (but not below zero) by the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under such Award. In the event such determination is made by the Committee, an Award having an exercise or purchase price per share equal to or
greater than the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per Share in the Change in Control may be canceled without payment of consideration to the holder thereof. Payment pursuant to this Section (reduced by applicable withholding taxes,
if any) shall be made to Participants in respect of the vested portions of their canceled Awards as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control and in respect of the unvested portions of their canceled Awards in accordance with
the vesting schedules applicable to such Awards. 
 11.2 Effect of Change in Control on Nonemployee Director Awards. 

Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A, if applicable, including as provided by Section 13.4(f), in the event
of a Change in Control, each outstanding Nonemployee Director Award shall become immediately exercisable and vested in full and, except to the extent assumed, continued or substituted for pursuant to Section 11.1(b), shall be settled effective
immediately prior to the time of consummation of the Change in Control. 
 11.3 Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the
Code. 
 (a) Excess Parachute Payment. If any acceleration of vesting pursuant to an Award and any other payment or
benefit received or to be received by a Participant would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an “excess
parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, or if such actions would result in the loss of a corporate tax deduction under Section 280G, then, provided such election would not subject the Participant to taxation under
Section 409A, the Participant shall elect to reduce the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for under the Award in order to avoid such characterization. Unless the Participant is subject to a written agreement between the Participant
and a Participating Company governing the order of reduction, to the extent amounts are to be reduced, then payments shall be accomplished by reducing or eliminating severance payments that the Participant may become entitled to, then reducing or
eliminating cash bonus payments, then by the reduction, or elimination of equity awards which are valued in full for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, then the reduction or elimination of accelerated vesting or settlement of other equity
awards and finally the reduction or elimination of other compensatory payments. Such reductions shall first come from each category to the extent such amounts constitute Section 409A Deferred Compensation and with respect to any category in
which there are multiple awards or grants, in reverse chronological order (i.e. with the most recent grant or award reduced or eliminated first). 

  
 26 








 (b) Determination by Independent Accountants. To aid the Participant in making any
election called for under Section 11.3(a), no later than the date of the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in an “excess parachute payment” to the Participant as described in Section 11.3(a),
the Company shall request a determination in writing by the professional firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes, or, if the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the Acquiror, the Company will
appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section. (the “Tax Firm”). As soon as practicable thereafter, the Tax Firm shall determine and report to the Company and the Participant the
amount of such acceleration of vesting, payments and benefits which would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant. For the purposes of such determination, the Tax Firm may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning
the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Tax Firm such information and documents as the Tax Firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The Company shall
bear all fees and expenses the Tax Firm charge in connection with its services contemplated by this Section. 
  

	 	12.	COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. 


The grant of Awards and the issuance of Shares or other property pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all requirements of
all applicable securities and other applicable laws rules and regulations, approvals by government agencies as may be required or as the Company deems necessary or advisable, and the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the
Shares may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable pursuant to the Award, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares under the Plan
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. As a condition to issuance of any Shares, the Company may require the Participant to
satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. 

  
 27 









	 	13.	COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A. 


13.1 Awards Subject to Section 409A. With respect to Awards granted to Participants who are, or become, subject to taxation under
the Code, the Company intends that Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, and the Plan shall be so construed. The provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to any Award or portion
thereof that constitutes or provides for payment of Section 409A Deferred Compensation. Such Awards may include, without limitation: 

(a) An Option that includes any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of
(i) the exercise or disposition of the Award or (ii) the time the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Award first becomes substantially vested. 

(b) Any Restricted Share Unit Award, Performance Award, Cash-Based Award or Other Share-Based Award that either (i) provides by its
terms for settlement of all or any portion of the Award at a time or upon an event that will or may occur later than the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period (as defined below) or (ii) permits the Participant granted the Award to elect one or
more dates or events upon which the Award will be settled after the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period. 
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 409A, the term “Short-Term Deferral Period” means the 2 1⁄2 month period ending on the later of (i) the 15th
day of the third month following the end of the Participant’s taxable year in which the right to payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or (ii) the 15th day of the third
month following the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the right to payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. For this purpose, the term “substantial risk of
forfeiture” shall have the meaning provided by Section 409A. 
 13.2 Deferral and/or Distribution Elections. Except as
otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, the following rules shall apply to any compensation deferral and/or payment elections (each, an “Election”) that may be permitted or required by the Committee pursuant to
an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation: 
 (a) Elections must be in writing and specify the amount of the payment in
settlement of an Award being deferred, as well as the time and form of payment as permitted by this Plan. 
 (b) Elections shall be made by
the end of the Participant’s taxable year prior to the year in which services commence for which an Award may be granted to the Participant. 

(c) Elections shall continue in effect until a written revocation or change in Election is received by the Company, except that a written
revocation or change in Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for making the Election determined in accordance with paragraph (b) above or as permitted by Section 13.3. 

13.3 Subsequent Elections. Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, any Award providing Section 409A
Deferred Compensation which permits a subsequent Election to delay the payment or change the form of payment in settlement of such Award shall comply with the following requirements: 

(a) No subsequent Election may take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the subsequent Election is made.


  
 28 








 (b) Each subsequent Election related to a payment in settlement of an Award not described in
Section 13.4(a)(ii), 13.4(a)(iii) or 13.4(a)(vi) must result in a delay of the payment for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made. 

(c) No subsequent Election related to a payment pursuant to Section 13.4(a)(iv) shall be made less than twelve (12) months before
the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made. 
 (d) Subsequent Elections shall continue in effect until a written
revocation or change in the subsequent Election is received by the Company, except that a written revocation or change in a subsequent Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for making the subsequent Election determined in
accordance the preceding paragraphs of this Section 13.3. 
 13.4 Payment of Section 409A Deferred
Compensation. 
 (a) Permissible Payments. Except as otherwise permitted or required by
Section 409A, an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation must provide for payment in settlement of the Award only upon one or more of the following: 

(i) The Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined by Section 409A); 

(ii) The Participant’s becoming “disabled” (as defined by Section 409A); 

(iii) The Participant’s death; 

(iv) A time or fixed schedule that is either (i) specified by the Committee upon the grant of an Award and set forth in the Award
Agreement evidencing such Award or (ii) specified by the Participant in an Election complying with the requirements of Section 13.2 or 13.3, as applicable; 

(v) A change in the ownership or effective control or the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company
determined in accordance with Section 409A; or 
 (vi) The occurrence of an “unforeseeable emergency” (as defined by
Section 409A). 
 (b) Installment Payments. It is the intent of this Plan that any right of a Participant to receive
installment payments (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall, for all purposes of Section 409A, be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. 

(c) Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employee Pursuant to Separation from Service. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, no payment pursuant to 

  
 29 








 
Section 13.4(a)(i) in settlement of an Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation may be made to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as defined by
Section 409A) as of the date of the Participant’s separation from service before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) that is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s separation
from service, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. All such amounts that would, but for this paragraph, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date shall be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date. 

(d) Payment Upon Disability. All distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation payable pursuant to
Section 13.4(a)(ii) by reason of a Participant becoming disabled shall be paid in a lump sum or in periodic installments as established by the Participant’s Election. If the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of
Section 409A Deferred Compensation upon becoming disabled, all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum upon the determination that the Participant has become disabled. 

(e) Payment Upon Death. If a Participant dies before complete distribution of amounts payable upon
settlement of an Award subject to Section 409A, such undistributed amounts shall be distributed to his or her beneficiary under the distribution method for death established by the Participant’s Election upon receipt by the Committee of
satisfactory notice and confirmation of the Participant’s death. If the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation upon death, all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum
upon receipt by the Committee of satisfactory notice and confirmation of the Participant’s death. 
 (f) Payment Upon Change in
Control. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation would become payable under this Plan by reason of a Change in
Control, such amount shall become payable only if the event constituting a Change in Control would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the
Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Any Award which constitutes Section 409A Deferred Compensation and which would vest and otherwise become payable upon a Change in Control as a result of the failure of the Acquiror to assume,
continue or substitute for such Award in accordance with Section 11.1(b) shall vest to the extent provided by such Award but shall be converted automatically at the effective time of such Change in Control into a right to receive, in cash on
the date or dates such award would have been settled in accordance with its then existing settlement schedule (or as required by Section 13.4(c)), an amount or amounts equal in the aggregate to the intrinsic value of the Award at the time of
the Change in Control. 
 (g) Payment Upon Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee shall have the authority to provide in the
Award Agreement evidencing any Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation for payment pursuant to Section 13.4(a)(vi) in settlement of all or a portion of such Award in the event that a Participant establishes, to the
satisfaction of the Committee, the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency. In such event, the amount(s) distributed with respect to such unforeseeable emergency cannot exceed the amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need plus
amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution(s), after taking into account the extent to which such 

  
 30 








 
emergency need is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets
would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under the Award. All distributions with respect to an unforeseeable emergency shall be made in a lump sum upon the Committee’s determination that an unforeseeable
emergency has occurred. The Committee’s decision with respect to whether an unforeseeable emergency has occurred and the manner in which, if at all, the payment in settlement of an Award shall be altered or modified, shall be final, conclusive,
and not subject to approval or appeal. 
 (h) Prohibition of Acceleration of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, this Plan does not permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation, except as permitted by Section 409A. 

(i) No Representation Regarding Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company
makes no representation that Awards shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A. No Participating Company shall be liable for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on a Participant by Section 409A. 

 

	 	14.	TAX WITHHOLDING. 

 14.1 Tax
Withholding in General. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal,
state, local and foreign taxes (including social insurance), if any, required by law to be withheld by any Participating Company with respect to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver
Shares, to release Shares from an escrow established pursuant to an Award Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan until the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant. 

14.2 Withholding in or Directed Sale of Shares. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the Shares
issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or settlement of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax
withholding obligations of any Participating Company. The Fair Market Value of any Shares withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding
rates. The Company may require a Participant to direct a broker, upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of an Award, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the Award determined by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to cover the tax
withholding obligations of any Participating Company and to remit an amount equal to such tax withholding obligations to such Participating Company in cash.

	 	15.	AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. 


The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, there
shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Sections 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive
Incentive Stock Options, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s shareholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system upon
which the Shares may then be listed or quoted. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Committee. Except as provided by the next sentence, no amendment, suspension
or termination of the Plan may have a materially adverse effect on any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may, in its
sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Award
Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A. 
  

	 	16.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 

 16.1
Repurchase Rights. Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to one or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time the Award is granted. The Company shall have
the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement
evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of Shares hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing Shares acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends
evidencing any such transfer restrictions. 
 16.2 Forfeiture Events. 

(a) 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 specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to,
termination of Service for Cause or any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute Cause for termination of Service, or any accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any
financial reporting requirements of securities laws as a result of which, and to the extent that, such reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment is required by applicable securities laws. 

(b) If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of
misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any Participant who knowingly or through gross 

  
 32 








 
negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, and any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic
forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall reimburse the Company for (i) the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award received by such Participant during the twelve- (12-) month period following the first
public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement, and (ii) any profits realized by such Participant from the
sale of securities of the Company during such twelve- (12-) month period. 
 16.3 Provision of Information. Each Participant shall be
given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the Company’s ordinary shareholders. 

16.4 Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director. No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be
selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere
with or limit in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award
shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company. 

16.5 Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Award until
the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.4 or another provision of the Plan. 
 16.6
Delivery of Title to Shares. Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the Shares acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means
of one or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry Shares credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such Shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the
Participant has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such Shares to the Participant in certificate form. 
 16.7 Fractional
Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award. 
 16.8 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 any Participating
Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit. 

  
 33 








 16.9 Beneficiary Designation. Subject to local laws and procedures, each Participant may
file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any benefit under the Plan to which the Participant is entitled in the event of such Participant’s death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each
designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. If a
married Participant designates a beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse, the effectiveness of such designation may be subject to the consent of the Participant’s spouse. If a Participant dies without an effective designation of a
beneficiary who is living at the time of the Participant’s death, the Company will pay any remaining unpaid benefits to the Participant’s legal representative. 

16.10 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby. 
 16.11 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit,
impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or another Participating Company’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 (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Participating Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate. 

16.12 Unfunded Obligation. Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to
Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be considered unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No Participating Company shall be required
to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments,
which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or
any Participating Company and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any assets of any Participating Company. The Participants shall have no claim against any
Participating Company for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan. 

16.13 No Representations or Covenants with respect to Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (a) qualify an Award
for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States (e.g., incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code) or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A),
the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, anything to the contrary in this Plan, 

  
 34 








 
including Section 13 hereof, notwithstanding. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on holders of Awards under
the Plan. 
 16.14 Choice of Law. Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction
and performance of the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Ireland, without regard to its conflict of law rules. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies that the foregoing sets forth the Nexvet Biopharma Public
Limited Company 2014 Equity Incentive Plan as duly adopted by the Board on October 14, 2014.
