The Texas Business Organizations Code ("TBOC") permits a Texas corporation to limit in its charter the liability of the corporation's directors to the corporation or its shareholders for conduct in the performance of such director's duties. However, Texas law does not permit any limitation of liability of a director who is found liable to the corporation or is found liable because the director improperly received a personal benefit for: (1) breaching a duty of loyalty owed to the corporation; (2) failing to act in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the corporation; or (3) engaging in willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of a director's duty to the corporation.

Sections 8.101 and 8.103 of the TBOC provide that a Texas corporation may indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director only if a determination is made that such indemnification is permissible under the TBOC: (i) by a majority vote of the directors who at the time of the vote are disinterested and independent, regardless of whether such directors constitute a quorum; (ii) by a majority vote of a board committee designated by a majority of disinterested and independent directors and consisting solely of disinterested and independent directors; (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors as set forth in (i) or (ii); (iv) by the shareholders in a vote that excludes the shares held by directors who are not disinterested and independent; or (v) by unanimous vote of the shareholders. The power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in good faith and, in the case of conduct in the person's official capacity as a director, in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation, and, in all other cases, that the person's conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 8.104 of the TBOC provides that a Texas corporation may pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, reasonable expenses incurred by a present director who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding after the corporation receives a written affirmation by the director of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under Section 8.101 of the TBOC and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that he has not met that standard or if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of the director is not otherwise permitted under the TBOC. Section 8.105 of the TBOC also provides that reasonable expenses incurred by a former director or officer, or a present or former employee or agent of the corporation, who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation, in advance of the final disposition of the action, as the corporation considers appropriate.

Section 8.105 of the TBOC provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to a person who is not a director, including an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation as provided by: (i) the corporation's governing documents; (ii) an action by the corporation's governing authority; (iii) resolution by the shareholders; (iv) contract; or (v) common law. As consistent with Section 8.105 of the TBOC, a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to persons who are not directors to the same extent that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to directors.

Under the Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles of Incorporation"), none of the Registrant's directors will be liable to the Registrant or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director's capacity as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for any transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director's office, (iv) for acts

------

or omissions for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by statute, or (v) for acts related to an unlawful stock repurchase or dividend payment. The Articles of Incorporation further provide that, if the statutes of Texas are amended to further limit the liability of a director, then the liability of the Registrant's directors will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by any such provision.

The Registrant's Bylaws provide that each of the Registrant's directors and officers, and any person who served at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation in which the Registrant owns shares or of which the Registrant is a creditor, is indemnified by the Registrant against any costs and expenses, including (i) counsel fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, or other claim, action, suit, or proceeding, whether by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, in which such director or officer may become involved or with which such director or officer may be threatened by reason of such director or officer being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or by reason of his or her serving or having served at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, provided that, in connection with such matter, such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) payments in settlement or in satisfaction of any judgment, fine or penalty incurred by reason of their positions with the Registrant or such other corporation. The Registrant also has policies insuring its officers and directors and certain officers and directors of its wholly owned subsidiaries against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, the Registrant has an Indemnification Agreement with each of its directors and officers providing for the indemnification of each such person to the fullest extent permitted by Texas law.

The Registrant's Bylaws also provide that (i) to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by law, the Registrant may advance expenses to directors and officers in connection with a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, or threat thereof, upon receipt of a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Registrant's Bylaws and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant and (ii) the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any circumstance or transaction in which compensation resulting from or in respect of an Award would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A if the foregoing definition of "Change of Control" were to apply, but would not result in the imposition of any additional tax if the term "Change of Control" were defined herein to mean a "change in control event" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), then "Change of Control" shall mean a "change in control event" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), but only to the extent necessary to prevent such compensation from becoming subject to an additional tax under Section 409A.

Shares will not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Upon payment in Shares pursuant to the exercise or settlement of an Award, the number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan will be reduced only by the number of Shares actually issued in such exercise or settlement. If a Participant pays the exercise price (or purchase price, if applicable) of an Award through the tender or withholding of Shares as full or partial payment of such exercise price, or if Shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company, the number of Shares so tendered or withheld will again be available for issuance pursuant to future Awards under this Plan. (b) Lapsed Awards. If any outstanding Award under this Plan expires or is terminated or canceled or forfeited 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, the Shares allocable to the terminated portion of the Award or the forfeited or repurchased Shares (the foregoing being, "Lapsed Awards") will again be available for grant under this Plan. Similarly, the Shares subject to Lapsed Awards under the Prior Plan shall add to the maximum number of Shares that are available for issuance under Section 3(a) of this Plan.

-6- (d) Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as are sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Plan. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued Shares, treasury shares or Shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. (e) Shares under Plans of Acquired Companies. Shares issued or transferred pursuant to an Award granted in substitution for outstanding awards, or in connection with assumed awards, previously granted by a company or other entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines, shall not count against the limits in the first sentence of Section 3(a) hereof. 4.

![](sci2026equityincentivepl007.jpg)

-7- (vii) forfeit vested and unvested Shares (or require the return of money equivalent if the Award was previously settled in cash or the Shares subject to a previously-settled Award were previously sold) subject to a Participant's outstanding Award(s) if such Participant's status as a Service Provider is terminated by the Company for Cause, and such may apply even if the terms and conditions of an Award Agreement are to the contrary; (viii) construe and interpret the terms of this Plan and Awards granted pursuant to this Plan; (ix) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, including rules and regulations relating to the creation and administration of sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying Applicable Laws of jurisdictions other than the United States; (x) amend the terms of any outstanding Award, including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercise period of Awards and accelerate the satisfaction of any vesting criteria or waiver of forfeiture or repurchase restrictions, but any amendment that would adversely affect the Participant's rights under an outstanding Award will not be made without the Participant's written consent; provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in this Plan to the contrary, no amendment may be implemented that would reduce the exercise price of, reprice or cancel and re-grant outstanding stock options without a prior affirmative vote of the Company's shareholders; (xi) allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares or cash to be issued upon exercise or vesting of an Award up to the number of Shares or cash having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld up to the maximum individual income tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction. The Fair Market Value of any Shares to be withheld is to be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined, and all elections by a Participant to have Shares or cash withheld for this purpose are to be made, in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; (xii) authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; (xiii) allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to the Participant under an Award; (xiv) determine whether Awards are to be settled in Shares, cash or in a combination of Shares and cash; (xv) determine whether Awards are to be adjusted for Dividend Equivalent Rights; (xvi) create Other Stock-Based Awards for issuance under this Plan; (xvii) establish a program whereby Service Providers designated by the Administrator can reduce compensation otherwise payable in cash in exchange for Awards under this Plan; (xviii) impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued as a result of or under an Award, including without limitation,

![](sci2026equityincentivepl008.jpg)

-8- (A) restrictions under an insider trading policy, and (B) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers; (xix) establish one or more programs under this Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of Performance Criteria, or other event that absent the election, would entitle the Participant to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award; (xx) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in and/or supply any omission in this Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award; (xxi) to correct administrative errors; and (xxii) make all other determinations that the Administrator deems necessary or advisable for administering this Plan. The express grant in this Plan of any specific power to the Administrator will not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator. However, the Administrator may not exercise any right or power reserved to the Board. (c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's decisions, determinations, actions and interpretations will be final, conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this Plan. (d) Indemnification. The Company shall defend and indemnify the Indemnitees to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, to the Texas Business Organizations Code as now or hereafter in effect, and any other applicable laws against (i) all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, settlements, excise taxes, fines, and penalties incurred in connection with the defense of any Claim to which any of them is a party or is otherwise involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act in connection with this Plan, or in connection with any Award granted under this Plan; and (ii) all amounts required to be paid by them in settlement of a Claim (provided the settlement is approved by the Company) or required to be paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any Claim. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, but not limited to the Texas Business Organizations Code, advance expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Claim prior to the final disposition of such Claim, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as provided herein, which undertaking need not be secured and may be accepted without regard to the Indemnitee's ability to make repayment. Indemnification and advancement rights under this Section shall be mandatory in the case of any Indemnitee who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Claim. However, no person will be entitled to indemnification to the extent it is determined in such Claim that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company (or in the case of a criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). The Company may enter into separate indemnification agreements with any Indemnitee providing rights broader than, or supplementary to, those provided herein, and may purchase and maintain insurance to protect any Indemnitee against any liability asserted and incurred, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person under this Section or otherwise. In addition, to be entitled to indemnification, the Indemnitee must, within thirty (30) days after written notice of the Claim, offer the Company, in writing, the opportunity, at the Company's expense, to defend the Claim. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of Formation, Bylaws, any

-9- agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee as to events occurring prior to such person ceasing to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person. No amendment or repeal of this Section shall adversely affect any right of an Indemnitee existing with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. For purposes of this Section 4(d), (y) the term "Claim" shall mean any threatened, pending or completed claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therein, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative and (z) the term "Indemnitee" means members of the Board, the Committee, the Administrator, officers and Employees of the Company or of an Affiliate to whom authority to act for the Board, the Committee, the Administrator or the Company is delegated under this Plan, including any person serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or another entity or as a plan administrator or committee member for any benefit plan. If any portion of this Section shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been invalidated, and to the fullest extent permitted by law. 5. Eligibility. With the exception of Incentive Stock Options, Awards may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. 6. Limitations. (a) Minimum Vesting Schedule. Each Award issued under this Plan shall have a minimum vesting period of not less than one (1) year; provided, however, that (i) no minimum vesting period shall apply with respect to grants of up to five percent (5%) of the amount designated in Section 3(a) above, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15(a), and (ii) this Section 6(a) shall not apply to Awards settled in cash. (b) $100,000 Limitation for Incentive Stock Options. Each Option must be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(b), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Options with respect to such Shares are granted. (c) Repricing and Reload Options Prohibited. Except as provided in Section 15(a) (entitled "Adjustments"), and as an additional clarification to the latter language contained in Section 4(b)(x), the Company shall not, without obtaining shareholder approval: (i) amend or modify the terms of any outstanding Option or SAR to reduce the exercise price of such outstanding Option or SAR; (ii) cancel, exchange or permit or accept the surrender of any outstanding Option or SAR in exchange for an Option or SAR with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option or SAR; or (iii) cancel, exchange or permit or accept the surrender of any outstanding Option or SAR in exchange for any other Award, cash or securities for purposes of repricing such Option or SAR. (d) Director Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the maximum aggregate dollar amount that may be subject to Awards to Directors in any calendar year shall not exceed $900,000. For purposes of this limit, the value of such Awards shall be calculated based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes.

-10- 7. Options. (a) Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine. (b) Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option must be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the exercise price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions (if any) applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine. (c) Term of Option. The term of each Option must be stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term must be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option must be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. (d) Option Exercise Price and Consideration. (i) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option is to be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option: (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price must be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price must be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. (2) In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price will be determined by the Administrator, but must not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant unless the terms of such Nonqualified Stock Option comply with Section 409A of the Code. (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code. (ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any

------

![](sci2026equityincentivepl011.jpg)

-11- conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the satisfaction of such conditions at any time. (e) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration for exercising an Option, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, may consist entirely of: (i) cash or cash equivalents; (ii) check; (iii) in the discretion of the Administrator, surrendering or attesting to the ownership of Shares that are already owned by the Participant that meet the conditions established by the Administrator to avoid adverse accounting consequences, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised; (iv) in the discretion of the Administrator, payment may be made in whole or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the exercise price and/or any withholding taxes; (v) in the discretion of the Administrator, through a "net exercise" such that, without the payment of any funds, the Participant may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares equal to (A) the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined by the Administrator) less the exercise price per Share, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value per Share. The number of net Shares to be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares; (vi) in the discretion of the Administrator, a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Participant; (vii) in the discretion of the Administrator, any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or (viii) in the discretion of the Administrator, any other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares permitted by Applicable Laws. (f) Exercise of Option. (i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted under this Plan will be exercisable according to the terms of this Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (x) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, (y) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (including provision for any applicable tax withholding), and (z) all representations and documents reasonably requested by the Administrator. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and this Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option must be

------

![](sci2026equityincentivepl012.jpg)

-12- issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment is to be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 or the applicable Award Agreement. Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. (ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider (Other than Death or Disability). If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant's death or Disability, the Participant may exercise the vested portion of his or her Option within the time period specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). If the Award Agreement does not specify a time period within which the vested portion of such Option must be exercised after the Participant ceasing to be a Service Provider, the vested portion of such Option will be exercisable for three (3) months after the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider (other than upon the Participant's death or Disability). Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or by the Administrator, if the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option on the date the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider (other than upon the Participant's death or Disability), then immediately thereafter, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall be forfeited. Additionally, if the Participant does not exercise his or her Option as to all of the vested Shares within the time period specified herein, then immediately thereafter, the Option will terminate and the Shares covered by the unexercised portion of the Option shall be forfeited. (iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of his or her Disability, the Participant may exercise the vested portion of his or her Option within the time period specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). If the Award Agreement does not specify a time period within which the vested portion of such Option must be exercised after the Participant ceasing to be a Service Provider as a result of his or her Disability, the vested portion of such Option will be exercisable for twelve (12) months after the Participant ceasing to be a Service Provider as a result of his or her Disability. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or by the Administrator, if the Participant is not vested as to the Participant's entire Option on the date he or she ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of his or her Disability, then immediately thereafter, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall be forfeited. Additionally, if the Participant does not exercise his or her Option as to all of the vested Shares within the time period specified herein, then immediately thereafter, the Option will terminate and the Shares covered by the unexercised portion of the Option shall be forfeited. (iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the vested portion of the Option may be exercised within the time period specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the beneficiary designated by the Participant prior to his or her death; provided that such designation must be acceptable to the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then the vested portion of the Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant's estate, or by the persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. If the Award Agreement does not specify a time period within which the vested portion of such Option must be exercised after a Participant's death, the vested portion of such Option will be exercisable for twelve (12) months after his or her death. Unless

------

-13- otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or by the Administrator, if the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option on the date he or she ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant's death, then immediately thereafter, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall be forfeited. Additionally, if the Participant's beneficiary, personal representative or permitted transferee does not exercise the Option as to all of the vested Shares within the time period specified herein, then immediately thereafter, the Option will terminate. 8. Restricted Stock. (a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines. (b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock must be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine. (c) Removal of Restrictions. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. (d) Voting Rights. Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. (e) Dividends and Other Distributions. Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that if so determined by the Administrator and provided by the Award Agreement, such dividends and distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid, and otherwise shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year in which such dividends or distributions are paid to shareholders (or, if later, the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following the date such dividends or distributions are paid to shareholders). 9. Stock Appreciation Rights. (a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, a SAR may be granted to a Service Provider at any time and from time to time as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator has complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Service Provider. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(b), the Administrator has complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under this Plan, including the sole discretion to accelerate exercisability at any time, but the per Share exercise price that will determine the amount of the payment the Company receives upon exercise of a SAR will not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant unless the terms of such SAR comply with Section 409A of the Code. (b) SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant must be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the exercise price, the term, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine. (c) Expiration of SARs. A SAR granted under this Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, as set forth in the Award Agreement; but no SAR

![](sci2026equityincentivepl014.jpg)

-14- may be exercisable later than ten (10) years after the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 7(f)(ii), 7(f)(iii) and 7(f)(iv) also apply to SARs. (d) Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: (i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise and the exercise price; by (ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon the exercise of a SAR may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. 10. Restricted Stock Units. (a) Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines. (b) Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units must be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine. (c) Removal of Restrictions. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. (d) Voting Rights. Participants holding Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares represented by Restricted Stock 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). (e) Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock 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 Stock Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Shares, as determined by the Administrator. The number of additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded 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 Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per Share on such date. If so determined by the Administrator and provided by the Award Agreement, such cash amount or additional Restricted Stock 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 Stock Units originally granted. If the Award Agreement provides for current payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights in cash, such amounts shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year in which the corresponding dividends are paid to shareholders (or, if later, the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the date such dividends are paid to shareholders).

-15- 11. Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares. (a) Grant of Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Administrator has complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares granted to each Service Provider. (b) Value of Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares. Each Performance Stock Unit and Performance Share must have an initial value established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share must have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. (c) Performance Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator may set Performance Criteria in its sole discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares that will be paid out to the Participant. Each award of Performance Stock Units or Performance Shares must be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the Performance Period and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator in its sole discretion may determine. The Administrator may set Performance Criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals (including solely continued service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. (d) Earning of Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Stock Units or Performance Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Stock Units or Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding Performance Criteria have been achieved. After the grant of Performance Stock Units or Performance Shares, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, reduce or waive any performance objectives for the Performance Stock Units or Performance Shares. (e) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Stock Units. Payment of earned Performance Stock Units, if any, will be made after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period at the time determined by the Administrator. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Stock Units in the form of cash, in Shares or in a combination of cash and Shares. (f) Cancellation of Performance Stock Units or Performance Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Stock Units and Performance Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and the Shares subject to such Awards (if any) will again be available for grant under this Plan as set forth in Section 3. 12. Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other Awards granted under this Plan and/or cash awards made outside of this Plan. The Administrator has authority to determine the Service Providers to whom and the time or times at which Other Stock-Based Awards are to be made, the amount of such Other Stock-Based Awards, and all other conditions of the Other Stock-Based Awards, including any dividend or distribution rights and whether the Award should be paid in cash. 13. Leaves of Absence. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted under this Plan will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence and will resume on the date the Participant returns to work on a regular schedule as determined by the Company; provided, that no vesting credit will be awarded for the time vesting has been suspended during such leave of absence. A

------

![](sci2026equityincentivepl016.jpg)

-16- Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company or any Affiliate. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no leave of absence may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not guaranteed by statute or contract, then at the end of three (3) months after the expiration of the leave of absence, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option. 14. Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. 15. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control. (a) Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or other non-recurring dividends or distributions, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of stock, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction that affects the Shares, an adjustment will be made, as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan. Such adjustment may include an adjustment to the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under this Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the number and class of Shares issuable pursuant to Options, and the numerical limits contained in Sections 3 and 6(b). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the number of Shares subject to any Award always will be a whole number. (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practical prior to the effective date of the proposed transaction. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award, to the extent applicable, until ten (10) days prior to the transaction as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award will lapse with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares underlying such Award, and that any Award vesting will accelerate in full, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or vested, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such liquidation or dissolution. (c) Change in Control – Assumption, Continuation or Substitution. This Section 15(c) will apply except to the extent otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary entity of the successor corporation. With respect to Awards that are assumed or substituted, if on the date of (or following the assumption or substitution), the Participant's status as a Service Provider is terminated without Cause within twenty-four (24) months following the date of the Change in Control, then all restrictions on Awards granted to such Participant will lapse, and the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise, if applicable, his or her Awards, and, to the extent applicable, all Performance Criteria and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions deemed satisfied. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, then immediately prior to such Change in Control, all

------

![](sci2026equityincentivepl017.jpg)

-17- outstanding Awards shall become fully vested, all applicable restrictions shall lapse, all performance objectives, Performance Criteria and other vesting criteria shall be deemed achieved at targeted levels and, with respect to Options or SARs, Participants shall have the right to exercise the Option or SAR as to all of the Shares (or cash subject thereto), including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or SAR is not assumed or substituted on the Change in Control, the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR shall be exercisable, to the extent vested, for a period of up to 15 days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For purposes of this Section 15(c), an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to an Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether securities, cash or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares). Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned, or is paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance objectives shall not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of the performance objectives without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to performance objectives only to reflect the successor corporation's post- Change in Control corporate structure shall not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. 16. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or a later date as is determined by the Administrator. The Administrator will provide a notice of the determination to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 17. Board and Shareholder Approval; Term of Plan. The Board approved this Plan on March 9, 2026 and the Company's shareholders approved this Plan on May 6, 2026, to be effective May 6, 2026. From its effectiveness, this Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 18. 18. Amendment and Termination of this Plan. (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate this Plan. (b) Shareholder Approval. The Company will obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws. To the extent it is desired to grant Incentive Stock Options under this Plan, then approval of this Plan by the shareholders of the Company must occur within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board. Such approval by shareholders of the Company shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Law. Incentive Stock Options may be granted, but Incentive Stock Options may not be exercised, prior to approval of this Plan by shareholders of the Company. (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of this Plan will materially or adversely impair the rights of any Participant, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of this Plan will not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it under this Plan with respect to Awards granted under this Plan prior to the date of termination. No Shares shall be issued or sold under this Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an Award granted prior to the termination of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Administrator shall have unilateral authority to

------

![](sci2026equityincentivepl018.jpg)

-18- amend an Award, without Participant consent, to the minimum extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and such amendment shall not be deemed to materially impair the rights of such Participant. 19. Conditions upon Issuance of Shares. (a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of the Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or receiving the Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute the Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. (c) Taxes. As a condition to the exercise or settlement of an Award, the Participant shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award under the laws of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under this Plan until the foregoing obligations are satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the exercise or settlement of any Award, the Company shall have the right to withhold taxes from any compensation or other amounts that the Company may owe to the Participant, or to require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company may be required to withhold with respect to the Shares issued to the Participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator in its sole discretion may authorize the Participant to satisfy all or part of any withholding tax liability by: (i) having the Company withhold from the Shares that would otherwise be issued upon the exercise or settlement of an Award up to that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value, as of the date the withholding tax liability arises, sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligations based on the maximum individual income tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction; and/or (ii) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered Shares having a Fair Market Value, as of the date the withholding tax liability arises, equal to the amount of the Company's withholding tax liability to be so satisfied. Subject to the preceding sentence, the exercisability or settlement of any Award Agreement shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 20. Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Plan or an Award to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan or any Award Agreement are invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will 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 this Plan or Award, as applicable, will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 21. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained. 22. No Rights to Awards. No Participant, eligible Service Provider, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under this Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of a Service Provider, Participant, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under this Plan. The

------

![](sci2026equityincentivepl019.jpg)

-19- terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants. 23. No Shareholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, a Participant has none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by an Award until the Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares. 24. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued and the Administrator will determine, in its sole discretion, whether cash will be paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares will be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate. 25. Governing Law. This Plan, all Award Agreements, and all related matters, are to be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to choice of law principles that direct the Applicable Laws of another state. 26. No Effect on Terms of Employment or Consulting Relationship. This Plan does not confer upon any Participant any right as a Service Provider, nor does it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant's service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. 27. No Trust or Fund Created. Neither this Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 28. Section 409A. It is the intention of the Company that no Award be "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent that the Administrator specifically determines otherwise, and this Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards are to be interpreted accordingly. The following rules will apply to Awards that are intended to comply with Section 409A: (a) Any distribution of a 409A Award following a separation from service that would be subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code as a distribution following a separation from service of a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) will occur no earlier than the expiration of the six-month (6) period following such separation from service. (b) In the case of any distribution of any other 409A Award, if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in this Plan or Award Agreement or other governing document, the distribution will be made not later than the end of the calendar year during which the settlement of the 409A Award is specified to occur. (c) Each payment that a Participant may receive with respect to a 409A Award will be treated as a "separate payment" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 29. Construction. Headings in this Plan are included for convenience and are not to be considered in the interpretation of this Plan. References to sections are to Sections of this Plan unless otherwise indicated. Pronouns include the masculine, feminine, neutral, singular or plural as the identity of the antecedent may require. This Plan is to be construed according to its fair meaning and is not to be strictly construed against the Company.

-20- 30. Compensation Recoupment. All compensation and Awards payable or paid under this Plan and any sub-plans will be subject to the Company's ability to recover incentive-based compensation from executive officers, as is or may be required by the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, any regulations or rules promulgated thereunder, or any other "clawback" provision required by Applicable Law or the listing standards of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, including the Company's Incentive Award Recoupment effective October 2, 2023, as amended. \* \* \* \* \*
