*Appointment of Chief Financial Officer*

On April 6, 2026, Veradigm Inc. (the "Company") announced the appointment of Christian Greyenbuhl as the Company's new Chief Financial Officer, effective as of the later of (a) May 11, 2026 and (b) the first business day following the date that the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, or as otherwise agreed (such later date, the "Effective Date"). Mr. Greyenbuhl has also been designated as the principal financial officer and the principal accounting officer of the Company, effective as of the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, Mr. Greyenbuhl will replace Mr. Leland Westerfield, who has been serving as the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Greyenbuhl, age 49, most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Ministry Brands, LLC ("Ministry Brands"), a technology company serving mission-focused organizations, where he led the finance organization since November 2022. From November 2021 until November 2022, Mr. Greyenbuhl was Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance and Investor Relations at Xplor Technologies LLC ("Xplor Technologies"), a global provider of SaaS, embedded payments and commerce-accelerating technologies, where he established investor relations infrastructure and helped prepare Xplor Technologies for its initial public offering. Prior to his time at Xplor Technologies, Mr. Greyenbuhl held increasingly senior finance roles at Automatic Data Processing Inc. ("ADP"), a global provider of human capital management solutions, including serving most recently as General Manager - Globalview North America from August 2020 through November 2021. Before joining ADP, he spent over a decade at PricewaterhouseCoopers, specializing in SEC reporting, technical accounting, and capital markets transactions. Mr. Greyenbuhl is a Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland and has an inactive license as a Certified Public Accountant.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Greyenbuhl and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as an executive officer of the Company, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Greyenbuhl and any director or executive officer of the Company. Mr. Greyenbuhl has not engaged in any transaction that would be reportable as a related party transaction under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Greyenbuhl and the Company entered into a letter agreement, dated April 1, 2026 (the "Letter Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Greyenbuhl will be eligible to receive the following payments and benefits: (i) an annual base salary of $580,000; (ii) a sign-on bonus (the "Sign-On Bonus") in the amount of $300,000, payable, less applicable withholdings, 50% on or promptly following the Effective Date and 50% on or about the date that is the first anniversary of the Effective Date; (iii) a target annual bonus of 75% percent of his annual base salary, with the actual bonus amount to be determined in accordance with payout metrics and scales established by the Compensation Committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"); and (iv) an initial equity grant with a value of $3,000,000, consisting of (A) restricted stock units with a value of $1,500,000, which are scheduled to vest in four equal annual installments, and (B) performance stock units with a value of $1,500,000, which will vest following the conclusion of a three-year performance period based on achievement of performance metrics to be determined by the Board (or a committee thereof), in each case subject to his continued employment with the Company. Commencing with the 2027 annual grant cycle, Mr. Greyenbuhl will be eligible for annual equity awards with a grant date fair value of at least $2,500,000. The amount of the Sign-On Bonus paid to Mr. Greyenbuhl is subject to repayment in the event that his employment is terminated (other than by Mr. Greyenbuhl for "Good

------

Reason" or by the Company for "Cause", in each case as defined in the Severance Agreement defined below) prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date. In the event that Mr. Greyenbuhl's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or he resigns for "Good Reason", he will be entitled to any then-unpaid portion of the Sign-On Bonus.

In addition to the Letter Agreement, on April 1, 2026, Mr. Greyenbuhl and the Company entered into an Agreement for the Payment of Benefits Following Termination of Employment (the "Severance Agreement") pursuant to which, in the event that Mr. Greyenbuhl's employment is terminated outside of the "Change in Control Period" (as defined in the Severance Agreement) by the Company other than for Cause, death or "Disability" (as defined in the Severance Agreement) outside of the "Change in Control Period" (as defined in the Severance Agreement), then, subject to his execution of a release of claims and continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants, he will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of his base salary and target annual bonus; (ii) any earned but unpaid bonus amounts; (iii) reimbursement of the cost of COBRA continuation coverage at active employee rates for up to 12 months; and (iv) the accelerated vesting of any portions of his outstanding equity awards that were scheduled to vest in the 12-month period following the termination date, based on target performance (or actual performance where determinable within such 12-month period) with respect to performance-based awards.

In the event that Mr. Greyenbuhl's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason, in each case, during the Change in Control Period, then, subject to his execution of a release of claims and continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants, he will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of his base salary and target annual bonus; (ii) any earned but unpaid bonus amounts; (iii) reimbursement of the cost of COBRA continuation coverage at active employee rates for up to 12 months; and (iv) the full vesting of any outstanding equity awards, based on target performance with respect to performance-based awards. For purposes of the Severance Agreement, "Change in Control Period" means the period beginning upon the date that is three months prior to a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Severance Agreement) and ending (a) on the first anniversary of the Change in Control with respect to the amounts described in clause (i) above, and (b) on the second anniversary of the Change in Control with respect to the equity vesting described in clause (iv) above.

The above descriptions of the Letter Agreement and the Severance Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

*Executive Officer Transition Matters*

On March 31, 2026, the Company notified Lee Westerfield, the Company's Interim Financial Officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, that, effective as of the Effective Date, he would no longer be employed by the Company. Pursuant to the agreement entered into between Mr. Westerfield and the Company on December 31, 2025, Mr. Westerfield is entitled to continue receiving base salary compensation through December 31, 2026, subject to his execution of a mutually agreeable consulting agreement with the Company and a non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company.

[\*\*\*\*\*\*]

Dear Christian,

We are pleased to offer you the role of Chief Financial Officer, reporting to Don Trigg, CEO. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Start Date (as defined below), you will be designated as the "principal financial officer" and the "principal accounting officer" of Veradigm Inc. (together with is subsidiaries, "Veradigm" or the "Company") for purposes of the Company's financial statements and periodic filings.

Your "Start Date" is scheduled for the later of (a) May 11, 2026, and (b) the business day following the filing by the Company of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, or as otherwise agreed. Should you need to amend the Start Date, please contact me immediately.

To confirm the details of the offer, you will receive an annualized salary of $580,000.00, to be paid semi-monthly (less any withholdings required by law or authorized by you). You are eligible to be considered for an annual salary increase as per company policy and practices applicable to your role. Your base salary, as such base salary may be increased hereunder is your "Base Salary." In addition, you will receive a sign-on bonus of $300,000.00 (the "Sign-On Bonus") payable, in each case less applicable withholdings, (a) 50% on or promptly following the Start Date, and (b) 50% on or about the one-year anniversary of the Start Date. The Sign-On Bonus, less all federal, state, and local income taxes withheld by the Company at the time of payment, and less any employment taxes (including FICA) withheld at the time of payment, shall be subject to repayment by you in the event of a termination of your employment either (x) by you (other than for "Good Reason"), or (y) by the Company for "Cause", in each case prior to the two-year anniversary of the Start Date. For purposes of this letter, "Good Reason" and "Cause" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement for the Payment of Benefits Following Termination of Employment between you and Veradigm dated as of the date hereof (the "Severance Agreement"). Notwithstanding the payment schedule set forth above, if the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you resign for Good Reason, the Company shall pay you any then-unpaid portion of the Sign-On Bonus within thirty (30) days following your last day of employment.

You are eligible to receive a cash performance bonus which at target will be 75% of your Base Salary but may, based on performance, be less than or exceed such amount (up to a maximum of 200% of your target bonus). You will receive a cash performance bonus for the 2026 fiscal year as if you were employed by the Company for the entire fiscal year, subject to the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, at the same time performance bonuses are paid to other senior executives for the 2026 fiscal year. Performance bonus payments are not guaranteed as they are dependent upon several factors such as the Company's financial performance and individual performance. The bonus plan is subject to the terms and conditions recommended by our CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

------

Once you commence employment, on the first business day of the month following your Start Date, you will be issued a stock award valued at $3,000,000.00, consisting of (a) $1,500,000.00 awarded as restricted stock units ("RSUs"), which will vest, subject to your continued employment, in one-quarter increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, and (b) $1,500,000.00 awarded as performance stock units ("PSUs"), which will vest based on achievement of applicable performance metrics over a three-year period, subject to your continued employment with the Company. The performance metrics and payout scale for the PSUs, including any thresholds for overachievement, will be determined by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) and communicated at the time of approval. Additionally, during each future annual equity grant cycle with other senior executives, beginning with the 2027 equity grant cycle, the Company shall grant you an annual equity award grant with a grant date value of at least $2,500,000.00.

As a full-time employee, you will be eligible to participate in Veradigm's benefits as described on the Onboarding Portal.

Otherwise, your next opportunity to elect benefits will be during open enrollment, which typically occurs in October and is effective on January 1st of the following year.

You may also participate in the Veradigm retirement savings plan on either a pre-or-post tax basis. The Veradigm retirement savings plan also provides a generous company match.

As a U.S. exempt associate, Veradigm will provide you with Flex PTO in accordance with the US Flexible Time Off (Flex PTO) Policy. There is no set number of PTO days that accrue each year and there is no limit on the amount of PTO you may take under the Flex PTO Policy. Flex PTO may be taken at a time that is mutually agreed upon between you and your leader and approval will be based on business needs.

This offer is contingent upon proof of your legal authorization to work in the United States, successful completion of a background check, and the execution of the Veradigm Inventions, Arbitration and Restrictive Covenant Agreement ("IARCA"). Further, you agree that you will not retain and will not bring to Veradigm any of your former employers' property or confidential and proprietary information and you will not use or disclose any of your former employers' property and/or confidential and proprietary information in connection with your employment at Veradigm. During the time period specified in any agreement you may have entered into with your former employer, the Company will not ask you to - and you will not be expected to - solicit applicable customers of your former employer for purposes of selling them competitive products made available by the Company or otherwise take any action contrary to the terms of any such agreement.

As a condition of your employment with Veradigm, you agree to submit to drug testing in accordance with Veradigm policy and as needed, based on the requirements of any Veradigm client to which you may be assigned.

Subject to the terms of the Severance Agreement, employment with Veradigm is at-will, which means that either you or the Company may terminate your employment for any reason, or for no reason.

The Company agrees to advance and indemnify you for all costs, damages, losses and expenses reasonably and actually incurred by you in connection with any and all third-party claims or proceedings arising from, as a result of, or in connection with your employment by Veradigm (and service in any other offices or directorships with any subsidiary or affiliate of Veradigm, as applicable) to the greatest extent permitted under Veradigm's organizational documents and applicable law. This right to advancement of expenses and indemnification shall not apply to, and Veradigm will have no obligation to advance or indemnify you with respect to, any action, suit or proceeding brought by you or on your behalf against Veradigm, or by Veradigm against you.

------

In addition, Veradigm will pay or reimburse you for proper and necessary expenses incurred by you in the performance of your duties as Chief Financial Officer, including without limitation, travel expenses, subject to your compliance with Veradigm' s Global Travel and Expense Policy in effect from time to time.

We are confident that you will bring to this role the experience and competencies that represent our core values. We are solution seekers, community builders, and life changers. Together we can change what is possible, and you will be a key player in making that happen. We wish you every success in your new position!

For purposes of this IARCA, "**Restricted Territory**" means either: (i) during my employment with Veradigm, anywhere in the world; or (ii) after cessation of my employment with Veradigm, then, in descending order of preference based on legal enforceability, (A) within the United States (including its territories) and within each country in which Veradigm has conducted business or directed material resources in soliciting business in the prior twenty-four (24) month period, (B) within the United States (including its territories) and within any other county that at any time was within the scope of my employment with Veradigm, (C) within any country that at any time during last two (2) years of my employment with Veradigm was within the scope of such employment, or (D) within any geographic region(s) that at any time during last two (2) years of my employment with Veradigm was within the scope of such employment.

g. I agree that in the event a court determines the length of time or the geographic area or activities prohibited under this Section 5, or under Sections 3, 4, 7, 8 or 9, are too restrictive to be enforceable, the court may reduce the scope of the restriction to the extent necessary to make the restriction enforceable.

6. **<u>Reasonableness of Restriction</u>**. I acknowledge that the foregoing non-solicitation, non-competition and non-interference restrictions placed upon me are necessary and reasonable to avoid the improper disclosure or use of Confidential Information, and that it has been made clear to me that my compliance with this IARCA is a material condition to my employment or continued employment by Veradigm. I further acknowledge and agree that, if I breach any of the requirements of Sections 3, 4 or 5, the twelve (12) month restricted period set forth therein shall be tolled during the time of such breach.

I further acknowledge and agree that Veradigm has attempted to impose the restrictions contained hereunder only to the extent necessary to protect Veradigm from unfair competition and the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information. However, should the scope or enforceability of any restrictive covenant be disputed at any time, I specifically agree that a court may modify or enforce the covenant to the full extent it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time.

7. **<u>Non-Disclosure</u>**. I will not, subject to Section 16 below, during the period of my employment with Veradigm (other than as needed to fulfill the authorized scope of my employment duties with Veradigm) or thereafter use for myself or for others or divulge or convey to any other person (except those persons designated by Veradigm) any Confidential Information obtained by me during the period of my employment with Veradigm. I agree to observe all OF Veradigm's policies and procedures concerning such Confidential Information. I agree that, except as may be permitted by written Veradigm's policies, I will not remove from Veradigm's premises any such Confidential Information without the written authorization of Veradigm. My obligations under this IARCA will

------

continue with respect to Confidential Information until such information becomes generally available from public sources through no fault of mine. If I am requested, become legally compelled by subpoena or otherwise, or am required by a regulatory body to make any disclosure that is prohibited by this Section, I will promptly (subject to section 16 below) notify Veradigm so that Veradigm may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy if Veradigm deems such protection or remedy necessary under the circumstances. Subject to the foregoing, I may furnish only that portion of Confidential Information that I am legally compelled or required to disclose. The restrictions set forth herein are in addition to and not in lieu of any obligations I may have by law with respect to Confidential Information, including any obligations I may have under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and/or similar statutes as applicable in the state of my residence and/or the state of my primary work location.

8. **<u>Definition of Confidential Information</u>**. As used herein, "Confidential Information" shall include, but is not limited to, the following categories of information, knowledge, or data currently known or later developed or acquired relating to Veradigm's business or received by Veradigm in confidence from or about third parties, in each case when the same is not in the public domain or otherwise publicly available (other than as result of a wrongful act of an agent or employee of Veradigm):

a. Any information concerning Veradigm's products, business, business relationships, business plans or strategies, marketing plans, contract provisions, actual or prospective suppliers or vendors, services, actual or anticipated research or development, new product development, inventions, prototypes, models, solutions, discussion guides, documentation, techniques, actual or planned patent applications, technological or engineering data, formulae, processes, designs, production plans or methods, or any related technical or manufacturing know-how or other information;

b. Any information concerning Veradigm's financial or profit data, pricing or cost formulas, margins, marketing information, sales representative or distributor lists, or any information relating to corporate developments (including possible acquisitions or divestitures);

c. Any information concerning Veradigm's current or prospective customer lists or arrangements, equipment or methods used or preferred by Veradigm's customers, or the patients of customers;

d. Any information concerning Veradigm's use of computer software, source code, object code, or algorithms or architecture retained in or related to Veradigm's computer or computer systems;

e. Any personal or performance information about any Veradigm's employee other than me;

f. Any information supplied to or acquired by Veradigm under an obligation to keep such information confidential, including without limitation Protected Health Information (PHI) as that term is defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA);

g. Any information, whether or not designated as confidential, obtained or observed by me or other Veradigm employees during training sessions related to my work for Veradigm; and

h. Any other information treated as trade secrets or otherwise confidential by Veradigm.

------

I hereby acknowledge that some of this information may not be a "trade secret" under applicable law. Nevertheless, I agree not to disclose it or otherwise act with respect to such Confidential Information in a manner violative of this IARCA. Confidential Information shall not include: (i) information that is known to others in the industry in which the Company does business or the public, (ii) information that is publicly known or made available prior to the time of disclosure to me , (iii) my general experience, knowledge, and business contacts, or (iv) information for which my disclosure is protected by law

9. **<u>Inventions, Discoveries, and Work for Hire</u>**.

a. I recognize and agree that all ideas, formulae, inventions, copyrights, drawings, methods, techniques, devices, patents and patent applications, processes, enhancements, potential marketing and sales relationships, inventions, research, plans for products or services, marketing plans, computer software (including source code and object code) and related documentation, original works of authorship, characters, know-how, trade secrets, information, technical and non-technical data, developments, discoveries, improvements, modifications, technology, algorithms, and designs, and with respect to each of the foregoing, whether or not subject to patent or copyright protection, and any derivative works based thereon (collectively, the "**Inventions**") conceived by me, alone or with others, during the time of my employment, whether or not during working hours or using Veradigm's facilities or equipment, that are within the scope of Veradigm's business operations, or that relate to any of Veradigm' actual or anticipated or contemplated work, or projects or research or development, are the sole and exclusive property of Veradigm (or its designated affiliate). I acknowledge that I have and shall have no intellectual property or other right, title or interest in or to any such Inventions. I further agree that (i) I will promptly disclose all Inventions to Veradigm and hereby assign to Veradigm all present and future rights I have or may have in those Inventions; and (ii) all of the Inventions eligible under the copyright laws are "work made for hire." At the request of and without charge to Veradigm, I will do all things deemed by Veradigm to be reasonably necessary to perfect title to the Inventions in Veradigm and to assist in obtaining for Veradigm such patents, copyrights or other protection as may be provided under law and desired by Veradigm, including but not limited to executing and signing any and all relevant applications, assignments, or other instruments. I further agree to provide, at Veradigm's request, declarations and affidavits and to give testimony, in depositions, hearings, or trials, in support of inventorship. These obligations continue even after any termination of the employment relationship. Veradigm agrees that I will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in providing such assistance to Veradigm. In the event Veradigm is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document or documents needed to apply for or prosecute any patent, copyright or other right or protection, for any reason whatsoever, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Veradigm and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any such application or other document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights, or similar protections thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(x) if I'm not a California Employee, I acknowledge that Veradigm has informed me that the provisions of this Section 9 will not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of Veradigm was used and which were developed entirely on my own time, unless (1) the Invention relates (i) to the business of Veradigm, or (ii) to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of Veradigm, or (2) the Invention results from any work performed by me for Veradigm; or

------

(y) if I am a California Employee, I acknowledge that pursuant to California Labor Code Section 2870, Veradigm has informed me that the provisions of this Section 9 will not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of Veradigm was used and which were developed entirely on my own time, unless (1) the Invention relates at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the Invention (i) to the business of Veradigm, or (ii) to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of Veradigm, or (2) the Invention results from any work performed by me for Veradigm.

For purposes of this IARCA, an Invention shall be deemed to have been made during my employment if during such period, the Invention was conceived, in part or in whole, or first actually reduced to practice during my employment with Veradigm. I further agree and acknowledge that any patent application filed within a year after termination of my employment shall be presumed to relate to an Invention made during the term of my employment unless I can provide evidence to the contrary.

On the signature page of this IARCA, I will indicate to Veradigm whether or not I have any inventions which: (i) occurred prior to the commencement of my employment relationship with Veradigm; (ii) relate in some way to any of Veradigm' actual or anticipated business or research or development; and (iii) I consider to be my personal property (in whole or in part) ("**Personal Inventions**").

10. **<u>Arbitration</u>**.

a. Except for claims or disputes that are not arbitrable pursuant to applicable law, and subject to the remainder of this Section 10 and Section 16 below, Veradigm and I agree that all claims or disputes arising out of or relating to: (i) our employment relationship, the terms and conditions of such employment, or the termination of such employment, or (ii) this IARCA, or the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this IARCA or any portion thereof, that may exist or arise between me, on the one hand, and Veradigm, any benefit plan, successor or assign of Veradigm, or any owner, director, officer, member, employee, shareholder, agent, or representative of any of them (in their respective capacities as such), on the other hand, shall be submitted for and resolved through final and binding individual arbitration in accordance with this Section 10. Any and all such claims and disputes shall be brought solely in my individual capacity as a single claimant, and not as a claimant, representative or class member (or similar capacity) in any purported multiple-claimant, class, collective, representative, or other similar proceeding ("Class Claims"). Veradigm and I each hereby waive our respective rights to bring, prosecute, participate in or benefit from any such Class Claim, and agree that no such Class Claim may or shall be brought, asserted or maintained in any forum, including any court or in arbitration. Except for claims or disputes that are not arbitrable pursuant to applicable law, and except as provided in this Section 10 and Section 16 below, claims and disputes subject to arbitration hereunder include without limitation: (i) claims and disputes by Veradigm relating to my employment and claims and disputes by me for employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination or defamation under any federal, state, or local law, regulation, ordinance, or Executive Order or under common law, and further include without limitation claims under any of the following statutes (as in effect or amended from time to time): Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and any applicable state, local or other laws and regulations; and (ii) any claim or dispute involving arbitrability (except as provided below) or alleging that this IARCA or any portion thereof is a contract of adhesion, lacks consideration, is substantively or procedurally unconscionable, is void against public policy, or otherwise is void or voidable for any reason.

------

b. The arbitration shall be conducted in the city (or nearest significant metropolitan area to the city) where the employee is employed by and before a single neutral member of an arbitration panel in the city (or nearest significant metropolitan area to the city) where the employee is employed (or by such other arbitrator or in such other place to which the parties agree in writing) in accordance with the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures (as in effect or amended from time to time), except as set forth in this Section 10. The arbitrator shall have no power to modify the provisions of this IARCA (except pursuant to Section 19 herein), or to make an award or impose a remedy that is not available to a court of general jurisdiction sitting in the city (or nearest significant metropolitan area to the city) where the employee is employed or that was not requested by a party to the claim or dispute, and the jurisdiction of the arbitrator is limited accordingly. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this IARCA, in no event may the arbitrator arbitrate any Class Claim, or consolidate or allow any party to join any claims of any other employee or person in a single arbitration proceeding (whether as a multiple-claimant, class, collective, representative, or other similar proceeding) without the express written consent of Veradigm and me, and the jurisdiction of the arbitrator is limited accordingly.

c. The arbitrator shall apply applicable statutes of limitation. The attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine shall be governed by, and the arbitrator shall apply to such issues, federal law, including without limitation Rules 26(b)(3), (4) and (5) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (as in effect or amended from time to time) and the attorney-client privilege as articulated in Upjohn Co. v. United States, 449 U.S. 383 (1981) and its progeny, but excluding any choice of law rules or principles (e.g., Federal Rule of Evidence 501) that might otherwise cause state law, or some other law besides federal law, to govern the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. To the extent required by law, Veradigm shall pay the fees and costs of the arbitrator that exceed those normally incurred in the filing of a lawsuit in court. Adequate discovery will be permitted by the arbitrator consistent with applicable law and the objectives of arbitration. The arbitrator's decision or award (which shall be in writing summarizing the basis therefor) shall be final and binding (subject only to such limited review, if any, as may be available under applicable law), and judgment thereupon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

d. The parties acknowledge and agree that this IARCA and this Section 10 are entered into in connection with employment that involves and is expected to involve interstate commerce, and therefore are governed by and subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

e. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

i. Either party may in their respective discretion pursue any and all claims and disputes arising under any provision of Sections 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 in any court of competent jurisdiction, without being required to arbitrate any such claims (whether they seek monetary damages, any form of injunctive or declaratory relief or other remedies).

ii. Any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to the waiver of or prohibition on Class Claims in this IARCA (including any claim or proceeding challenging the validity or enforceability of such waiver or prohibition, whether as substantively or procedurally unconscionable, void against law or public policy, or otherwise, and further including any claim or dispute seeking to assert a Class Claim in arbitration or in court despite such waiver or prohibition) shall be brought exclusively in

------

and decided exclusively by a federal court (or state court if the federal court would not have jurisdiction) so that such a court may determine the validity and enforceability of such waiver or prohibition, and shall not be brought in arbitration or decided by any arbitrator(s). The jurisdiction of the arbitrator hereunder is hereby limited accordingly. In the event such waiver of or prohibition on Class Claims is judicially held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason with respect to a given claim or dispute, any such Class Claims that may be asserted shall be asserted, if at all, exclusively in and decided exclusively by a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction, and not in arbitration, and the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 10 shall be null and void as to such Class Claims. The parties hereto are not, under any circumstances, agreeing to, requiring or permitting arbitration of any Class Claim in any respects.

iii. If and to the extent required by Section 8116 of the 2010 Department of Defense Appropriations Act, Pub. L. No. 111-118, 123 Stat. 2409 (2009), Section 8102 of the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, Pub. L. No. 112-10, 125 Stat. 38 (2011), any similar subsequent statute or Executive Order, or any regulations promulgated thereunder, the provisions of this Section 10 shall not apply to or be enforced with respect to any claim or dispute by me under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, or any tort claim by me related to or arising out of sexual assault or harassment, including all such claims for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, or negligent hiring, supervision, or retention.

iv. Any arbitration conducted hereunder, and all communications with respect thereto or in the course thereof, including all transcripts, briefs and exhibits, shall be confidential. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing or except as is necessary to enforce this IARCA or any award, and subject to Section 16 below, the parties, their representatives and the arbitrator shall not disclose to any third parties (other than to the parties' respective attorneys, accountants, and spouses, as applicable, each of whom shall maintain such information in strict confidence, and, in the case of Veradigm, except as reasonably necessary in the course of Veradigm business) any information regarding the arbitration process or proceeding, including any testimony or other evidence presented and the terms of any award.

11. **<u>Prior Employment</u>**. I hereby agree that during the course and scope of the employment relationship with Veradigm I shall neither disclose or use any confidential information, invention, or work of authorship derived from, developed or obtained in any prior employment relationship, and understand that any such disclosure or use would be injurious to the economic and legal interests of Veradigm. I further represent and agree that, if any prior employer commences any legal proceeding in connection with any restrictive covenant, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, or non-competition agreement, (i) I shall be entirely responsible for my own legal fees in connection with the defense of same; and (ii) I shall indemnify and hold harmless Veradigm, its affiliates, suppliers, vendors, customers and clients from any costs and liability arising therefrom including, but not limited to, legal fees, expenses, licenses, royalty payments, and any other damages.

12. **<u>Return of Data</u>**. In the event of the termination of my employment with Veradigm for any reason whatsoever, I agree to deliver promptly to Veradigm all formulas, correspondence, reports, computer programs and similar items, customer lists, marketing and sales data and all other materials pertaining to Confidential Information, and all copies thereof, obtained by me during the period of my employment with Veradigm which are in my possession or under my control. I further agree that I will not make or retain any copies of any of the foregoing and will so represent to Veradigm upon termination of my employment, subject to Section 16 below.

------

13. **<u>Non-Disparagement</u>**. Subject to Section 16, Veradigm and I agree that during my employment with Veradigm and for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, neither I nor Veradigm will make any statement, or imply any meaning through action or inaction, if such statement or implication would be adverse to the interests of myself or Veradigm, as applicable, and its customers or its vendors or may reasonably cause myself, Veradigm or any of the foregoing embarrassment or humiliation; or otherwise cause or contribute to myself, Veradigm or any of the foregoing being held in disrepute by the public or any other Veradigm customer(s), vendor(s) or employee(s). The restrictions of this Section shall apply to, but are not limited to, communication via the Internet, any intranet, or other electronic means, such as social media web sites, electronic bulletin boards, blogs, email messages, text messages or any other electronic message.

14. **<u>Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedies for Breach</u>**. I further expressly acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this IARCA shall entitle Veradigm, in addition to any other legal remedies available to it, to obtain injunctive relief, to prevent any violation of this IARCA without the necessity of Veradigm posting bond or furnishing other security and without proving special damages or irreparable injury. I recognize, acknowledge and agree that such injunctive relief is necessary to protect Veradigm's interest. I understand that in addition to any other remedies available to Veradigm at law or in equity or under this IARCA for violation of this IARCA, other agreements or compensatory or benefit arrangements I have with Veradigm may include provisions that specify certain consequences thereunder that will result from my violation of this IARCA, which consequences may include repaying Veradigm or foregoing certain equity awards or monies, and any such consequences shall not be considered by me or any trier of fact as a forfeiture, penalty, duplicative remedy or exclusive remedy.

15. **<u>Employment</u>**. Nothing contained in this IARCA creates any right of employment or limits or restricts Veradigm's or my right to terminate my employment at any time with or without cause. I understand and agree that I will at all times be an "at-will" employee and therefore can be terminated by Veradigm for any or no cause, subject to the terms of any effective, written, and mutually executed agreement between me and Veradigm regarding the terms of my employment with Veradigm.

16. **<u>No Interference</u>**. Notwithstanding any other provision of this IARCA, nothing in this IARCA shall prohibit me from confidentially or otherwise communicating or filing a charge or complaint with a governmental agency or regulatory entity, participating in a governmental agency or regulatory investigation, or giving truthful testimony or disclosures to a governmental agency or regulatory entity. However, nothing herein limits or waives Veradigm's right to seek arbitration or dismissal (pursuant to Section 10 above or otherwise) of any claim or dispute, if any, brought by me or on my behalf in any court.

U.S. federal law provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official (either directly or indirectly) or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this IARCA limits or otherwise affects any such legal rights or creates liability for any such protected conduct. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual—(i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

------

17. **<u>Notification to Third Parties</u>**. Veradigm may, at any time during or after the termination of my employment with Veradigm, notify any person, corporation, partnership or other business entity employing or engaging me or evidencing an intention to employ or engage me as to the existence and provisions of this IARCA.

18. **<u>Entire Agreement; Non-Waiver</u>**. To the maximum extent enforceable, this IARCA constitutes the entire agreement between Veradigm and me with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes all previous written, oral or implied understandings between myself and Veradigm (including any current affiliate of Veradigm or any predecessor in interest of any such affiliate) with respect to such matters. No waiver by Veradigm of a breach by me of any covenant or undertaking of this IARCA shall be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of any covenant or undertaking, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing signed by Veradigm.

19. **<u>Severability</u>**. Subject to any judicial modification provisions above. If any provision or provisions of this IARCA shall be void, unlawful or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision or provisions shall be deemed stricken from this IARCA, but the IARCA shall not otherwise be affected and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

20. **<u>Assignability, Binding Effect</u>**. This IARCA (or any of the rights and/or obligations herein) may be assigned by Veradigm and shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Veradigm or its successors, assigns, and representatives. If Veradigm makes any such assignment, I agree that this IARCA shall remain binding upon me in any event. This IARCA may not be changed in whole or in part except in a writing that is signed by a duly authorized officer of Veradigm and is acknowledged and agreed to by me. This IARCA, and the obligations hereunder, shall be binding upon me and my successors, heirs, executors and representatives.

21. **<u>Headings</u>**. The headings in this IARCA are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

22. **<u>Acceptance</u>**. I agree that this IARCA is accepted by me through either (i) my original, facsimile or scanned image signature or (ii) my action of acceptance through an electronic system, where such system allows me to see and review the full IARCA. I further agree that Veradigm is deemed to have accepted this IARCA as evidenced by my employment with Veradigm, the payment of wages or monies to me, or the provision of benefits to me.

23. **<u>Personal Inventions</u>**. In regard to Section 9 above, I represent that I do or do not have any Personal Inventions (as defined in Section 9 above) by marking one of the boxes below:

(check the appropriate box)

Yes, I have Personal Inventions.

☒ No, I do not have Personal Inventions.

------

If I have selected the "Yes" box above, I will promptly contact my Human Resources representative or my immediate supervisor and must provide a description of my Personal Inventions on Exhibit A hereto.

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, the parties hereto have entered into this IARCA by executing this Agreement or otherwise taking an action of acceptance, with intention to be bound by this Agreement as of such execution or action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date that the Executive's employment with the Company (or any successor) ends, which date shall be specified in the Notice of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive's employment shall not be deemed to have been terminated solely as a result of the Executive becoming an employee of any direct or indirect successor to the business or assets of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) "Good Reason Process" shall mean, in the event of the occurrence of a Good Reason, Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment and receive the benefits set forth in this Agreement, upon delivery of written notice to Company no later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of the occurrence giving rise to Good Reason; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the expiration of thirty (30) days after receipt by Company of such written notice if Company has not cured within the thirty (30)-day period (the "Cure Period"). If Company so effects a cure, the Good Reason notice shall be deemed rescinded and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice and lapse of time shall not be required with respect to any event or circumstance which is the same or substantially the same as an event or circumstance with respect to which notice and an opportunity to cure has been given within the previous six (6) months. If the Company fails to cure the Good Reason event, then the Executive must terminate his or her employment within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Cure Period.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) "Restrictive Covenants Agreement" shall mean the Inventions and Restrictive Covenant Agreement, Inventions, Arbitration and Restrictive Covenant Agreement or a similar agreement entered into between the Executive and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Term</u>. This Agreement may not be terminated so long as Executive continues to serve in a role with substantially equivalent scope and responsibilities. Any determination by the Company, the Board or a committee of the Board that materially reduces Executive's role, responsibilities or scope such that Executive ceases to serve in a substantially equivalent role shall constitute "Good Reason" under Section 1(j)(ii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Termination Benefits Generally</u>. In the event the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive payment of any Base Salary amounts and pro-rata bonus amount based on actual performance that have accrued but have not been paid as of the Termination Date and any benefits, including conversion and continuation rights, provided upon termination of employment under the Company's employee benefit plans and policies (not including any severance, separation pay, or supplemental unemployment benefit plan) in accordance with the terms of such plans and policies (collectively the "Accrued Obligations"), within the time required by law but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Termination Not in Connection with a Change in Control</u>. In the event of a termination of the Executive's employment by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability at any time other than during the Change in Control Period, with respect to such Executive, in addition to the Accrued Benefits, subject to his or her execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities (the "Release"), which shall include provisions relating to confidentiality, return of property, and non-disparagement and a reaffirmation of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and the Release becoming irrevocable, in no event more than sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination, and subject to the Executive complying with this Agreement and the Release, the Company shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) pay the Executive an amount equal to the sum of (i) one (1) times Executive's Base Salary and (ii) 100% of the Executive's annual target bonus in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination, such amounts to be payable regardless of whether Executive obtains other employment and is compensated therefor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) accelerate the vesting of any equity awards held by the Executive that were scheduled to vest in the twelve-month period immediately following the Date of Termination to become fully vested, exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Date of Termination and to be distributed in accordance with the underlying equity award agreements, including performance-based equity awards, which shall vest at target (or based on actual performance if determinable within such twelve-month period) (for the avoidance of doubt, any unvested equity that was scheduled to vest beyond the twelve-month period following the Date of Termination will be forfeited); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if the Executive was participating in the Company's group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company, based on the premiums as of the Date of Termination, until the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination and (ii) the date on which the Executive obtains other employment.

------

The amounts payable under Section 4(a) shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company's payroll practice over twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination, with the first payment commencing within sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the amounts shall be paid in the second calendar year no later than the last day of such 60-day period; provided further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Date of Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Termination in Connection with a Change in Control</u>. In the event a Qualified Termination Event occurs within the Change in Control Period, then with respect to such Executive, in addition to the Accrued Benefits, subject to his or her execution and non-revocation of Release and the Release becoming irrevocable, in no event more than sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination, and subject to the Executive complying with this Agreement and the Release, the Company shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) pay to the Executive an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of Base Salary plus (ii) 100% of the Executive's annual target bonus in effect immediately prior to the Qualified Termination Event (or the Executive's target bonus in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, if higher);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) accelerate the vesting of 100% of the outstanding and unvested equity awards held by the Executive to immediately become fully vested, exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Date of Termination and such awards to be distributed in accordance with the underlying equity award agreements; provided, that the performance conditions applicable to any outstanding and unvested equity awards subject to performance conditions will be deemed satisfied at the target level specified in the terms of the applicable award agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if the Executive was participating in the Company's group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company, based on the premiums as of the Date of Termination, until the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination and (ii) the date on which the Executive obtains other employment.

The amounts payable under Section 5(a) shall be paid out in a lump sum within sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, (i) in the event the Date of Termination occurs within three months prior to the Change in Control or (ii) the Change in Control is not a "change in control event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then the amount payable under Section 5(a) shall be paid at the time specified with respect to Section 4(a); provided, further, if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the amounts shall be paid in the second calendar year no later than the last day of the 60-day period. For the avoidance of doubt, the severance pay and benefits provided in this Section 5 shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 4 and Executive shall not be entitled to the severance pay and benefits under both Sections 4 and 5 hereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Additional Limitation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder (the "Aggregate Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In the event of such reduction, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (i) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (ii) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (iii) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (iv) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For purposes of this Section 6, the "After Tax Amount" means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on the Executive as a result of the Executive's receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes (if any) which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 6(a) shall be made by the Accounting Firm, which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Restrictive Covenants Agreement</u>. As a condition to entering into this Agreement, each Executive shall continue to comply with the terms and conditions contained in the Restrictive Covenants Agreements or similar agreement entered into between the Executive and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Withholding</u>. All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Section 409A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to the twenty (20) percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one (1) day after the Executive's separation from service, or (ii) the Executive's death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and that all amounts payable hereunder shall be exempt from Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent possible, under either the separation pay exemption pursuant to Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) or as short-term deferrals pursuant to Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4). To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is not exempt from Section 409A of the Code and ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes "non-qualified deferred compensation" under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive's termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive's "separation from service." The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). In addition, to the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes "non-qualified deferred compensation" under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that a Change in Control does not constitute a "change in control event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then the amounts payable under Sections 5(b) and 5(c) shall be paid at the same time as set forth in Section 4(a) and 4(b) to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Notice and Date of Termination</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notice of Termination. A termination of the Executive's employment shall be communicated by Notice of Termination from the Company to the Executive or vice versa in accordance with this Section 10.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notice to the Company. Any notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company, or to the Company at the following physical or email address:

------

The Committee may delegate some or all of its power and authority hereunder to the Board or, subject to applicable law, to a subcommittee of the Board, a member of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer of the Company as the Committee deems appropriate; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Committee may not delegate its power and authority to a member of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer of the Company with regard to the selection for participation in this Plan of an officer, director or other person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or decisions concerning the timing, pricing or amount of an award to such an officer, director or other person.

No member of the Board or Committee, and neither the Chief Executive Officer nor any other executive officer to whom the Committee delegates any of its power and authority hereunder, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in connection with this Plan in good faith, and the members of the Board and the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including attorneys' fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law (except as otherwise may be provided in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and/or By-laws) and under any directors' and officers' liability insurance that may be in effect from time to time.

**1.4. <u>Eligibility</u>.** Participants in this Plan shall consist of such officers, other employees, Non-Employee Directors, independent contractors, and persons expected to become officers, other employees, Non-Employee Directors and independent contractors, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as the Committee in its sole discretion may select from time to time. The Committee's selection of a person to participate in this Plan at any time shall not require the Committee to select such person to participate in this Plan at any other time. Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, for purposes of this Plan, references to employment by the Company shall also mean employment by a Subsidiary, and references to employment shall include service as a Non-Employee Director or independent contractor. The Company may determine, in its sole discretion, whether a participant is deemed to be employed during a leave of absence. The aggregate value of cash compensation and the grant date fair value of shares of Common Stock that may be awarded or granted during any fiscal year of the Company to any Non-Employee Director shall not exceed $750,000.

**1.5. <u>Shares Available</u>.** Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.7 and to all other limits set forth in this Section 1.5, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall initially be available for all awards under this Plan shall be 17,000,000. The number of shares of Common Stock that remain available for future grants under the Plan shall be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that become subject to outstanding options, outstanding Free-Standing SARs, outstanding Stock Awards and outstanding Performance Units denominated in shares of Common Stock, other than Substitute Awards.

------

To the extent that shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding option, SAR or stock award granted under this Plan are not issued or delivered by reason of (i) the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award (excluding shares subject to an option cancelled upon settlement in shares of a related tandem SAR or shares subject to a tandem SAR cancelled upon exercise of a related option) or (ii) the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares of Common Stock shall again be available under this Plan; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that shares of Common Stock subject to an award under this Plan shall not again be available under this Plan if such shares are (x) shares that were subject to a stock-settled SAR and were not issued or delivered upon the net settlement of such SAR, (y) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the purchase price or the withholding taxes related to an outstanding award and (z) shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise. The number of shares subject to outstanding awards granted under a Prior Plan that are not issued or delivered pursuant to the terms of such Prior Plan shall not become available under this Plan pursuant to this paragraph and instead shall again be available shares under the applicable Prior Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock available for awards under this Plan shall not be reduced by (i) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Substitute Awards or (ii) available shares under a stockholder approved plan of a company or other entity which was a party to a corporate transaction with the Company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such corporate transaction) which become subject to awards granted under this Plan (subject to applicable stock exchange requirements). Shares of Common Stock to be delivered under this Plan shall be made available from authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, or authorized and issued shares of Common Stock reacquired and held as treasury shares or otherwise or a combination thereof.

**II. STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS** 

**2.1 <u>Stock Options</u>.** The Committee may, in its discretion, grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock to such eligible persons as may be selected by the Committee. Options may be granted in addition to, or in lieu of, any other compensation payable to officers, other employees, Non-Employee Directors and independent contractors, and in all cases shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Number of Shares and Purchase Price</u>. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to an option and the purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the option shall be determined by the Committee; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such option.

------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an option that is a Substitute Award, the purchase price per share of the shares subject to such option may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant, provided, that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the shares subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate purchase price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise to the Substitute Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Committee) of the shares of the predecessor company or other entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate purchase price of such shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Option Period and Exercisability</u>. The period during which an option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no option shall be exercised later than seven (7) years after its date of grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, determine that an option is to be granted as a Performance Option and may establish an applicable Performance Period and Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of such option or to the exercisability of all or a portion of such option. The Committee shall determine whether an option shall become exercisable in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable option, or portion thereof, may be exercised only with respect to whole shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Method of Exercise</u>. An option may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased and accompanying such notice with payment therefor in full (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company's satisfaction) either (A) in cash, (B) by delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy such obligation, (D) in cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or (E) a combination of (A), (B) and (C), in each case to the extent set forth in the Agreement relating to the option, (ii) if applicable, by surrendering to the Company any Tandem SARs which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of the option and (iii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to pay such purchase price shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the optionee. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued and no certificate representing Common Stock shall be delivered until the full purchase price therefor and any withholding taxes thereon, as described in Section 5.5, have been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company's satisfaction).

**2.2 <u>Stock Appreciation Rights</u>.** The Committee may, in its discretion, grant SARs to such eligible persons as may be selected by the Committee. The Agreement relating to an SAR shall specify whether the SAR is a Tandem SAR or a Free-Standing SAR.

------

SARs shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Number of SARs and Base Price</u>. The number of SARs subject to an award shall be determined by the Committee. The base price of a Tandem SAR shall be the purchase price per share of Common Stock of the related option. The base price of a Free-Standing SAR shall be determined by the Committee; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such base price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such SAR (or, if earlier, the date of grant of the option for which the SAR is exchanged or substituted).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an SAR that is a Substitute Award, the base price per share of the shares subject to such SAR may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant, provided, that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the shares subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate base price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise to the Substitute Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Committee) of the shares of the predecessor company or other entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate base price of such shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Exercise Period and Exercisability</u>. The period for the exercise of an SAR shall be determined by the Committee; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no SAR shall be exercised later than seven (7) years after its date of grant; and <u>provided further</u>, that no Tandem SAR shall be exercised later than the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of the related option. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an SAR or to the exercisability of all or a portion of an SAR. The Committee shall determine whether an SAR may be exercised in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable SAR, or portion thereof, may be exercised, in the case of a Tandem SAR, only with respect to whole shares of Common Stock and, in the case of a Free-Standing SAR, only with respect to a whole number of SARs. If an SAR is exercised for shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(c), or such shares shall be transferred to the holder in book entry form with restrictions on the shares duly noted, and the holder of such Restricted Stock shall have such rights of a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(d). Prior to the exercise of a stock-settled SAR, the holder of such SAR shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such SAR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Method of Exercise</u>. A Tandem SAR may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole SARs which are being exercised, (ii) by surrendering to the Company any options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of the Tandem SAR and (iii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. A Free-Standing SAR may be exercised (A) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the whole number of SARs which are being exercised and (B) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued and no certificate representing Common Stock shall be delivered until any withholding taxes thereon, as described in Section 5.5, have been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company's satisfaction).

------

**2.3 <u>Termination of Employment or Service</u>.** All of the terms relating to the exercise, cancellation or other disposition of an option or SAR upon a termination of employment with or service to the Company of the holder of such option or SAR, as the case may be, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason, shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable award Agreement.

**2.4 <u>No Repricing</u>.** Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary and subject to Section 5.7, the Committee shall not (i) reduce the purchase price or base price of any previously granted option or SAR, (ii) cancel any previously granted option or SAR in exchange for another option or SAR with a lower purchase price or base price or (iii) cancel any previously granted option or SAR in exchange for cash or another award if the purchase price of such option or the base price of such SAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such cancellation, in each case other than in connection with a Change in Control, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

**2.5 <u>Dividend Equivalents</u>**. Notwithstanding anything in an Agreement to the contrary, the holder of an option or SAR shall not be entitled to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such option or SAR.

**III. STOCK AWARDS** 

**3.1 <u>Stock Awards</u>.** The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Awards to such eligible persons as may be selected by the Committee. The minimum Restriction Period and the minimum Performance Period specified in Section 3.2(b) relating to Restricted Stock Awards and specified in Section 3.3(b) relating to Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall not be applicable to awards granted under this Plan with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, does not exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of shares available for awards under this Plan. The Agreement relating to a Stock Award shall specify whether the Stock Award is a Restricted Stock Award or a Restricted Stock Unit Award.

**3.2 <u>Terms of Restricted Stock Awards</u>.** Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Number of Shares and Other Terms</u>. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award and the Restriction Period, Performance Period (if any) and Performance Measures (if any) applicable to a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Vesting and Forfeiture</u>. The Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award shall provide, in the manner determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and subject to the provisions of this Plan, for the vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award (i) if the holder of such award remains continuously in the employment of the Company during the specified Restriction Period or (ii) if specified Performance Measures (if any) are satisfied or met during a

------

specified Performance Period, and for the forfeiture of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award (x) if the holder of such award does not remain continuously in the employment of the Company during the specified Restriction Period or (y) if specified Performance Measures (if any) are not satisfied or met during a specified Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 3.1, 5.3 and 5.8 (i) the Restriction Period of a Restricted Stock Award not subject to Performance Measures shall not be less than one (1) year, subject to pro-rata vesting during such one-year Restriction Period, and (ii) the Performance Period of a Restricted Stock Award subject to Performance Measures shall not be less that one (1) year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Stock Issuance</u>. During the Restriction Period, the shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by a custodian in book entry form with restrictions on such shares duly noted or, alternatively, a certificate or certificates representing a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the holder's name and may bear a legend, in addition to any legend which may be required pursuant to Section 5.6, indicating that the ownership of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate is subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock Award.

Termination of this Plan shall not affect the terms or conditions of any award granted prior to termination. Awards hereunder may be made at any time prior to the termination of this Plan.

**5.2 <u>Amendments</u>.** The Board may amend this Plan as it shall deem advisable; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no amendment to the Plan shall be effective without the approval of the Company's stockholders if (i) stockholder approval is required by Section 2.4 or by applicable law, rule or regulation, including any rule of any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then traded, or (ii) the Non-Employee Director compensation limit set forth in Section 1.4 is increased; <u>provided</u> <u>further</u>, that no amendment may materially impair the rights of a holder of an outstanding award without the consent of such holder.

An Agreement (or an employment agreement referred to therein) may provide that, or the Committee may, in its sole discretion at any time, take action such that in the event of a termination of employment or service, in the event of a Change in Control or as otherwise determined by the Committee (i) any or all outstanding options and SARs shall become exercisable in part or in full, (ii) all or a portion of the Restriction Period

------

applicable to any outstanding Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Units shall lapse, (iii) all or a portion of the Performance Period applicable to any outstanding award shall lapse, and (iv) the Performance Measures (if any) applicable to any outstanding award shall be deemed to be satisfied at the target, maximum or any other interim level. No award shall be valid until an Agreement is executed by the Company and, to the extent required by the Company, the recipient of such award and, upon such execution and delivery of the Agreement to the Company within the time period specified by the Company, such award shall be effective as of the effective date set forth in the Agreement.

**5.4 <u>Non-Transferability</u>.** No award shall be transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company or, to the extent expressly permitted in the Agreement relating to such award, to the holder's family members, a trust or entity established by the holder for estate planning purposes or a charitable organization designated by the holder, in each case, without consideration. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence or the Agreement relating to an award, each award may be exercised or settled during the holder's lifetime only by the holder or the holder's legal representative or similar person. Except as permitted by the second preceding sentence, no award may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any award, such award and all rights thereunder shall immediately become null and void.

**5.5 <u>Tax Withholding</u>.** The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock or the payment of any cash pursuant to an award made hereunder, payment by the holder of such award of any federal, state, local or other taxes which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with such award. An Agreement may provide that (a) the Company shall withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to a holder, having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with an award (the "Tax Date"), or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation or (b) the holder may satisfy any such obligation by any of the following means: (i) a cash payment to the Company, (ii) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (iii) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, in either case equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (iv) in the case of the exercise of an option, a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or (v) any combination of (i), (ii) and (iii), in each case to the extent set forth in the Agreement relating to the award. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the minimum statutory withholding rate (or, if permitted by the Company, such other rate as will not cause adverse accounting consequences under the accounting rules then in effect). Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder.

------

**5.6 <u>Restrictions on Shares</u>.** Each award made hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the delivery of shares thereunder, such shares shall not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to any award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

**5.7 <u>Adjustment</u>.** In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation or any successor or replacement accounting standard) that causes the per share value of shares of Common Stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization through an extraordinary cash dividend, the number and class of securities available under this Plan, the terms of each outstanding option and SAR (including the number and class of securities subject to each outstanding option or SAR and the purchase price or base price per share), the terms of each outstanding Stock Award (including the number and class of securities subject thereto), and the terms of each outstanding Performance Unit (including the number and class of securities subject thereto, if applicable), shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding options and SARs in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of participants. In either case, the decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.

**5.8 <u>Change in Control</u>.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Double-Trigger Vesting</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.3 or provided in an Agreement or another agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company and a termination of employment or service under circumstances determined by the Board or the Committee and set forth in the Agreement within 24 months following such Change in Control or within three months prior thereto in connection with such Change in Control (i) the outstanding options and SARs shall immediately become exercisable in full or in part, (ii) the Restriction Period applicable to the outstanding Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall lapse in full or in part, (iii) the Performance Period applicable to the outstanding awards shall lapse in full or in part, and (iv) the Performance Measures applicable to the outstanding awards shall be deemed to be satisfied at the target, maximum or any other interim level.

immediately cancelled by the Company, and to provide for the holder to receive (A) a cash payment in an amount equal to (x) in the case of an option or an SAR, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the portion of such option
or SAR surrendered, to the extent such option or SAR is then exercisable or becomes exercisable pursuant to Section 5.3 or the terms of an award Agreement or other agreement, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Common Stock as of the date of the Change in Control, over the purchase price or base price per share of Common Stock subject to such option or SAR, (y) in the case of a Stock Award, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the
portion of such award surrendered, to the extent the Restriction Period and Performance Period, if any, on such Stock Award have lapsed or will lapse pursuant to Section 5.3 or the terms of an award Agreement or other agreement and to the
extent that the Performance Measures, if any, have been satisfied or are deemed satisfied pursuant to Section 5.3 or the terms of an award Agreement or other agreement, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the
