**Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.**

Sections 1741-1750 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 (the "BCL") and the Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers and certain other persons. Under Sections 1741-1750 of the BCL, directors and officers of the Registrant may be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses incurred in connection with actions (including, under certain circumstances, derivative actions) brought against such director or officer by reason of his or her status as a representative of the Registrant, or by reason of the fact that such director or officer serves or served as a representative of another entity at the Registrant's request, so long as the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. As permitted under the BCL, the Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify directors and officers against all expenses incurred in connection with actions (including derivative actions) brought against such director or officer by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or by reason of the fact that such director or officer serves or served as an employee or agent of any entity at the Registrant's request, unless the act or failure to act on the part of the director or officer giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court in a final, binding adjudication to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. The Registrant's Bylaws authorize the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance to insure its indemnification obligations on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any such capacity.

Consistent with the indemnification provisions of the Registrant's Bylaws and under the BCL, the Registrant has entered into a separate indemnity agreement with each director and certain executive officers. Under each indemnity agreement, the Registrant contractually indemnifies the indemnitee, and assumes for itself maximum liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims against such indemnitee in connection with his or her service to the Registrant and its subsidiaries. In particular, under each indemnity agreement, the Registrant agrees (i) that it shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect directors' and officers' liability insurance in reasonable amounts from established and reputable insurers, and that in all policies of such directors' and officers' liability insurance, the indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide the indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the other indemnitees serving the Registrant in a capacity similar to that of the particular indemnitee; (ii) that it shall indemnify the indemnitee against all expenses and liabilities related to any proceeding to which the indemnitee is was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, including, without limitation, a proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant, by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, and/or agent of the Registrant, or by reason of anything done or not done by the indemnitee in any such capacity, at any time in the past, present or future, provided the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant; and (iii) that if prior to, during the pendency or after completion of any proceeding described in clause (ii) herein, the indemnitee becomes deceased, the Registrant shall indemnify the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever actually and reasonably incurred to the extent the indemnitee would have been entitled to indemnification described in clause (ii) herein were the indemnitee still alive. As is stated therein, the intent of each indemnity agreement is to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to the indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law.

**Item 9. Undertakings.** 

(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

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

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

**SIGNATURES**

InterDigital, Inc.

200 Bellevue Parkway, Suite 300

Wilmington, Delaware 19809-3727

RE: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to InterDigital , Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), in connection with the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Commission</u>") of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>") for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), 3,700,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "<u>Shares</u>"), issuable under the Company's 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "<u>Plan</u>").

This opinion is being furnished to the Company in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the Shares.

As the Company's counsel, we have examined such documents and such matters of fact and law that we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinion expressed herein. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as original documents, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of natural persons who are signatories to the documents examined by us, and the legal power and authority of all persons signing on behalf of parties to all documents. We have further assumed, without independent investigation or verification, the accuracy and completeness of all corporate records made available to us by the Company and that there has been no oral modification of, or amendment or supplement (including any express or implied waiver, however arising) to, any of the documents used by us to form the basis of our opinion expressed herein.

In rendering our opinion expressed herein, we have assumed that (i) prior to the issuance of any of the Shares, there will exist under the Company's Articles of Incorporation the requisite number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock; (ii) the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan will remain in effect and unchanged at all times during which the Shares are issued by the Company; and (iii) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, at the time of issuance of the Shares, will continue to be effective under the Securities Act.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the holders and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (not less than par value) in the circumstances contemplated by the Plan, assuming in each case that the individual issuances, grants or awards under the Plan are duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and duly issued, granted or awarded and exercised in accordance with the requirements of law and the Plan (and the agreements and awards duly adopted thereunder and in accordance therewith), the issue and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

This opinion has been prepared, and should be interpreted, in accordance with customary practice followed in the preparation of opinion letters by lawyers who regularly give, and such customary practice followed by lawyers who on behalf of their clients regularly advise opinion recipients regarding, opinion letters of this kind. The opinion expressed herein is based upon the law as in effect and the documentation and facts known to us on the date hereof. We have not undertaken to advise the Company or any other person of any subsequent changes in the law or of any facts that hereafter may come to our attention.

We are members of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the foregoing opinion is limited to the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

------

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. We do not consider that we are "experts" within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder, with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this opinion as an exhibit or otherwise.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Dechert LLP

## Exhibit 10.1

**EXHIBIT 10.1**

**INTERDIGITAL, INC.** 

**2025 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN** 

1. <u>Purposes of the Plan</u>. The purposes of this Plan are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to attract and retain the best available personnel,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and Consultants, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to promote the success of the Company's business.

The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, Performance Shares, Incentive Cash Bonuses, and other stock or cash awards as the Administrator may determine.

2. <u>Definitions</u>. As used herein, the following definitions will apply:

(c) "<u>Applicable Laws</u>" means the requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards and the related issuance of Shares under U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and, only to the extent applicable with respect to an Award or Awards, the tax, securities, exchange control, and other laws of any jurisdictions other than the United States where Awards are, or will be, awarded under the Plan. Reference to a section of an Applicable Law or regulation related to that section shall include such section or regulation, any valid regulation issued under such section, and any comparable provision of any future legislation or regulation amending, supplementing or superseding such section or regulation.

(d) "<u>Award</u>" means, individually or collectively, a grant under the Plan of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares, Incentive Cash Bonuses, or other stock or cash awards as the Administrator may determine.

Further, if the shareholders of the Company immediately before such change in ownership continue to retain immediately after the change in ownership, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Shares of the Company's voting stock immediately prior to the change in ownership, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company or of the ultimate parent entity of the Company, such event shall not be considered a Change in Control under this subsection (i). For this purpose, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more corporations or other business entities that own the Company, as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities; or

------

(ii) A change in the effective control of the Company that occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this subsection (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(iii) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets that occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets:

Any Shares subject to Full Value Awards shall be counted against the maximum Share limitation of this Section 3(a) as two (2.0) Shares for every Share subject thereto. The Shares that may be issued under the Plan may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. After the Effective Date, no awards shall be granted under the 2017 Plan.

(b) <u>Share Counting</u>. Any Shares related to Awards, whether granted under this Plan or the 2017 Plan, that at any time on or after March 31, 2025, terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares (including but not limited to settlement of an Award at less than the target number of Shares), are settled in cash in lieu of Shares, or are exchanged with the Committee's permission, prior to the issuance of Shares, for Awards not involving Shares, shall be available again (or, with respect to awards granted under the 2017 Plan, shall be added to the Shares available) for grant under this Plan. In addition, Shares related to Awards, whether granted under this Plan or the 2017 Plan, that at any time after March 31, 2025 are used to pay the withholding taxes related to any outstanding Full Value Award shall be available again (or, with respect to full value awards granted under the 2017 Plan, shall be added to the Shares available) for grant under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Shares (whether subject to Awards granted under this Plan or the 2017 Plan) may not again be made available for issuance as Awards under the Plan: (i) Shares not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) Shares used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes related to any outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or (iii) Shares reacquired by the Company with the amount received upon exercise of Options.

(c) <u>Incentive Stock Options</u>. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal 200% of the sum of the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a) and, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(b).

(d) <u>Share Reserve</u>. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

(f) <u>Substitute Awards</u>. If the Administrator grants Awards in substitution for equity compensation awards outstanding under a plan maintained by an entity acquired by or consolidated with the Company, the grant of those substitute Awards will neither decrease the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan under Section 3(a) nor be added to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan under Section 3(b).

(g) <u>Outside Director Limits</u>. No Outside Director may, in any Fiscal Year, be paid cash compensation and granted Awards with an aggregate value (determined under GAAP with respect to Awards) greater than $750,000, except that such limit will be increased to $1,500,000 in the Fiscal Year (1) that an Outside Director serves as the independent Chair of the Board or as a lead independent director or (2) of his or her initial service as an Outside Director.

------

(ii) <u>Rule 16b-3</u>. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

(iii) <u>Other Administration</u>. Other than as provided above, the Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.

(iv) <u>Further Delegation</u>. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Board or a Committee may delegate to one or more Officers the authority to grant Awards to Employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who are not Officers, provided that the delegation must specify any limitations on the authority required by Applicable Laws, including the maximum number or value of Shares that may be subject to the Awards granted by such Officer(s). Such delegation may be revoked at any time by the Board or Committee. Any such Awards will be granted on the form of Award Agreement most recently approved for use by the Board or a Committee consisting solely of Directors, unless the resolutions delegating the authority permit the Officer(s) to use a different form of Award Agreement approved by the Board or a Committee consisting solely of Directors.

(b) <u>Powers of the Administrator</u>. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;

(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by or the value of each Award granted hereunder;

(iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan (provided that all forms of Award Agreement must be approved by the Board or the Committee of Directors acting as the Administrator);

(v) to determine the terms and conditions, consistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

(vi) subject to Section 4(e), to determine whether Awards will be adjusted for Dividend Equivalents;

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws;

(ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Sections 4(d) and 20 of the Plan), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to the applicable limits in Section 6(b) of the Plan);

(x) to waive any terms, conditions or restrictions;

(xi) to allow Participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 15 of the Plan;

(xii) to delegate ministerial duties to any of the Company's Employees;

(xiii) to authorize any person to take any steps and execute, on behalf of the Company, any documents required for an Award previously granted by the Administrator to be effective;

(xiv) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award; and

(xv) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c) <u>Effect of Administrator's Decision</u>. The Administrator's decisions, determinations, and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards and will be given the maximum deference permitted by Applicable Laws.

------

(d) <u>No Repricing or Cash Buyouts</u>. Other than pursuant to Section 14(a), the Administrator shall not without the approval of the Company's shareholders (i) reduce the grant price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right after the date of grant, (ii) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right when the grant price per Share exceeds the Fair Market Value of one Share in exchange for cash or another Award (other than in connection with a Change in Control), or (iii) take any other action with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed.

<u>(e) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents</u>. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may, if so determined by the Administrator, be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to the number of Shares covered by the Award, as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator may provide that Dividend Equivalents (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested and shall provide that the Dividend Equivalents are subject to the same vesting or performance conditions as the underlying Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award that is subject to vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Award shall only be paid out to the Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests. For the avoidance of doubt, dividend or Dividend Equivalents may not be granted in connection with an Option or Stock Appreciation Rights.

5. <u>Eligibility</u>. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Incentive Cash Bonuses, and such other cash or stock awards as the Administrator determines may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.

6. <u>Stock Options</u>.

(a) <u>Annual $100,000 Limit on Incentive Stock Options</u>. Notwithstanding the designation of an Option as an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the portion of the Options falling within such limit will be Incentive Stock Options and the excess Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b) <u>Term of Option</u>. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement but will not exceed 10 years from the date the Option is granted. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be 5 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(c) <u>Option Exercise Price and Consideration</u>.

(i) <u>Exercise Price</u>. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

(1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(2) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

------

(ii) <u>Waiting Period and Exercise Dates</u>. At the time an Option is granted and subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

(iii) <u>Form of Consideration</u>. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Administrator) on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (4) consideration received by the Company under a broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (5) by net exercise; (6) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (7) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

(d) <u>Exercise of Option</u>. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator, subject to the provisions of this Plan, and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) a notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the Person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends, Dividend Equivalents or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

Each Award Agreement will specify the applicable post-termination exercise period following termination as a Service Provider.

7. <u>Restricted Stock</u>.

(a) <u>Grant of Restricted Stock</u>. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(e) <u>Removal of Restrictions</u>. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.

(f) <u>Voting Rights</u>. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

------

(g) <u>Dividends and Other Distributions</u>. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement; provided, however that such dividends and distributions will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability (as applicable) as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, and the Company will hold such dividends and distributions until the restrictions on the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid have lapsed.

(h) <u>Return of Restricted Stock to Company</u>. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan in accordance with Section 3(b).

8. <u>Restricted Stock Units</u>.

(a) <u>Grant of Restricted Stock Units</u>. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator.

(b) <u>Restricted Stock Unit Agreement</u>. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify such terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine, including all terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, the number of Restricted Stock Units and the form of payout, which, subject to Section 8(e), will be left to the discretion of the Administrator.

(c) <u>Vesting Criteria and Other Terms</u>. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, regional, department, business unit, business segment, Affiliate, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued status as a Service Provider), applicable federal or state securities laws or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. After the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any restrictions for such Restricted Stock Units.

(d) <u>Earning Restricted Stock Units</u>. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as specified in the Award Agreement.

(e) <u>Form and Timing of Payment</u>. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof. Shares represented by Restricted Stock Units that are fully paid in cash again will be available for grant under the Plan.

(f) <u>Cancellation</u>. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company and become available for grant under the Plan.

9. <u>Stock Appreciation Rights</u>.

(a) <u>Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b) <u>Exercise Price and Other Terms</u>. The Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan, provided, however, that Stock Appreciation Rights may not be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

(c) <u>Stock Appreciation Right Agreement</u>. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the per Share exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(d) <u>Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights</u>. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than 10 years from the date of grant thereof.

(e) <u>Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount</u>. A Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

------

(i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the per Share exercise price; multiplied by

(ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. Shares issued upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until any such Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends, Dividend Equivalents or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right, notwithstanding the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) any such Shares promptly after the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

10. <u>Performance Units and Performance Shares</u>.

(a) <u>Grant of Performance Units/Shares</u>. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b) <u>Value of Performance Units/Shares</u>. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

(c) <u>Performance Objectives and Other Terms</u>. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out. Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, regional, department, business unit, business segment, Affiliate, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued status as a Service Provider), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(d) <u>Earning of Performance Units/Shares</u>. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.

(e) <u>Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares</u>. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made at the time(s) specified in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof.

(f) <u>Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares</u>. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.

11. <u>Incentive Cash Bonuses</u>.

(a) <u>Grant of Incentive Cash Bonuses</u>. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Incentive Cash Bonuses may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator.

------

(b) <u>Terms of Incentive Cash Bonuses</u>. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine the terms and conditions of each Incentive Cash Bonus, including (i) the target and maximum amount payable to a Participant as an Incentive Cash Bonus, (ii) the performance objectives and level of achievement versus these objectives that shall determine the amount of such payment, (iii) the term of the Performance Period as to which performance shall be measured for determining the amount of any payment, (iv) the timing of any payment earned by virtue of performance, (v) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the Incentive Cash Bonus prior to actual payment, (vi) forfeiture provisions and (vii) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, regional, department, business unit, business segment, Affiliate, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued status as a Service Provider), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(c) <u>Earning Incentive Cash Bonuses</u>. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator.

(d) <u>Form and Timing of Payment</u>. Payment of any earned Incentive Cash Bonus will be made in cash as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Administrator.

(e) <u>Cancellation</u>. On the date determined by the Administrator, all unearned Incentive Cash Bonuses will be forfeited to the Company.

(f) <u>Discretionary Adjustments</u>. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the amount paid under an Incentive Cash Bonus on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may, to the extent determined by the Administrator, be adjusted by the Administrator on the basis of such further considerations as the Administrator shall determine.

12. <u>Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations</u>. All Awards granted under the Plan may be subject to any leave of absence policy that the Administrator may adopt prior to the grant of such Awards. The Company may condition approval of any such leave on a Participant agreeing to the terms of such leave of absence policy. In the absence of such a policy, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence that is longer than one (1) year. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate of the Company employing the Employee or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or among the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate of the Company. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed 3 months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then 6 months following the first (1st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

13. <u>Transferability of Awards</u>.

(a) <u>General</u>. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 13(b), an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.

(b) <u>Limited Transferability</u>. The Administrator may permit an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) to be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, during a Participant's lifetime: (i) under a domestic relations order, official marital settlement agreement or other divorce or separation instrument as permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(b)(2); or (ii) to a "family member," within the meaning of and in accordance with the instructions for Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act, to the extent such assignment or transfer is in connection with the Participant's estate plan; or (iii) to the extent required by any Applicable Laws. Any individual or entity to whom an Award is transferred will be subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to the Participant who transferred the Award, including the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. If an Award is unvested, then the Participant's status as a Service Provider will continue to determine whether the Award will vest and when the Award will expire. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event may Options be transferable to third-party financial institutions without shareholder approval.

------

14. <u>Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control</u>.

(a) <u>Adjustments</u>. In the event that any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire securities of the Company, other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares, or any similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any of its successors) affecting the Shares occurs (including, without limitation, a Change in Control), the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the numerical Share limits in Section 3 of the Plan.

(b) <u>Dissolution or Liquidation</u>. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it previously has not been exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c) <u>Change in Control</u>. Except as set forth in this Section 14(c), in the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity or a Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that Awards may be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of Shares and prices. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 14(c), the Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.

Except as otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, in the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

For the purposes of this Section 14(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

For the purposes of this Section 14(c), an Award will be considered assumed if the Award is terminated in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights as of the date of the occurrence of the merger or Change in Control. Any such cash or property may be subjected to any escrow applicable to holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control. If, as of the date of the occurrence of the merger or Change in Control, the Administrator determines that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment. The amount of cash or property can be subjected to vesting and paid to the Participant over the original vesting schedule of the Award.

------

Notwithstanding anything in Section 14(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation's post-merger or post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

The Administrator will have authority to modify Awards in connection with a merger or Change in Control: (i) in a manner that causes the Awards to lose their tax-preferred status; (ii) to terminate any right a Participant has to exercise an Option prior to vesting in the Shares subject to the Option (i.e., "early exercise"), so that following the closing of the merger or Change in Control, the Option may only be exercised only to the extent it is vested; (iii) to reduce the per Share exercise price of an Award in a manner that is disproportionate to the increase in the number of Shares subject to the Award, as long as the amount that would be received upon exercise of the Award immediately before and immediately following the closing of the merger or Change in Control is equivalent and the adjustment complies with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(v)(D); and (iv) to suspend a Participant's right to exercise an Option during a limited period of time preceding and or following the closing of the merger or Change in Control without Participant consent if such suspension is administratively necessary or advisable to permit the closing of the merger or Change in Control.

(d) <u>Outside Director Awards</u>. With respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director, in the event of a Change in Control, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the Shares underlying such Award, including those Shares that would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Units, Performance Shares, and Incentive Cash Bonuses, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels, prorated based on the portion of the Performance Period that elapsed as of immediately prior to the Change in Control. All other terms and conditions with respect to such Awards with performance-based vesting will be deemed met.

15. <u>Tax</u>.

(a) <u>Withholding Requirements</u>. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof) or such earlier time as any tax withholding obligations are due, the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant's employment tax obligations) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

(b) <u>Withholding Arrangements</u>. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or a greater amount if that would not result in adverse financial accounting treatment, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory amount required to be withheld, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount that the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.

------

(c) <u>Compliance With Section 409A</u>. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A, the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A. Should any payments made in accordance with the Plan to a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A) be determined to be payments from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that are payable in connection with a Participant's "separation from service" (as defined under Section 409A), that are not exempt from Section 409A as a short-term deferral or otherwise, then such payments, to the extent otherwise payable within six months after the Participant's separation from service, and to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A, will be paid in a lump sum on the earlier of the date that is the fifth business day of the seventh month after the Participant's date of separation from service or the date of the Participant's death. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in the Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment. Participants shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.

16. <u>Forfeiture Events</u>.

(a) All Awards under the Plan will be subject to recoupment under the Company's current Clawback Policy (revised August 2023), as it may be amended or modified from time to time, and any subsequent clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company's securities are listed or other Applicable Laws. In addition, the Administrator may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right regarding previously acquired Shares or other cash or property. Unless this Section 16(a) is specifically mentioned and waived in an Award Agreement or other document, no recovery of compensation under a clawback policy or otherwise will be an event that triggers or contributes to any right of a Participant to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination" (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary, Parent, or Affiliate of the Company.

(b) The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant's rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but will not be limited to, termination of such Participant's status as Service Provider for cause or any specified action or inaction by a Participant, whether before or after such termination of service, that would constitute cause for termination of such Participant's status as a Service Provider.

17. <u>No Effect on Employment or Service</u>. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant's right or the right of the Company, or Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate of the Company, as applicable, to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

18. <u>Grant Date</u>. The grant date of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date that the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award or may be a later date if such later date is designated by the Administrator on the date of the determination or under an automatic grant policy. Notice of the grant will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

19. <u>Term of Plan</u>. Subject to Section 23 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon approval by the shareholders of the Company following its adoption by the Board (the "<u>Effective Date</u>"). It will continue in effect until terminated under Section 20, but no Incentive Stock Options may be granted after 10 years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

20. <u>Amendment and Termination of the Plan</u>.

(a) <u>Amendment and Termination</u>. The Board or Human Capital Committee of the Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b) <u>Shareholder Approval</u>. The Company will obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

------

(c) <u>Consent of Participants Generally Required</u>. Subject to Section 20(d) below, no amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan or an Award under it will materially impair the rights of any Participant without a signed, written agreement between the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it regarding Awards awarded under the Plan prior to such termination.

(d) <u>Exceptions to Consent Requirement</u>.

(i) A Participant's rights will not be deemed to have been impaired by any amendment, alteration, suspension or termination if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that the amendment, alteration, suspension or termination taken as a whole, does not materially impair the Participant's rights; and

(ii) Subject to any limitations of Applicable Laws, the Administrator may amend the terms of any one or more Awards without the affected Participant's consent even if it does materially impair the Participant's right if such amendment is done:

(1) in a manner specified by the Plan,

(2) to maintain the qualified status of the Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Code Section 422,

(3) to change the terms of an Incentive Stock Option, if such change results in impairment of the Award only because it impairs the qualified status of the Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Code Section 422,

(4) to clarify the manner of exemption from Code Section 409A or compliance with any requirements necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B), or

(5) to comply with other Applicable Laws.

21. <u>Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares</u>.

(a) <u>Legal Compliance</u>. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and may be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) <u>Investment Representations</u>. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

(c) <u>Failure to Accept Award</u>. If a Participant has not accepted an Award or has not taken all administrative and other steps (e.g., setting up an account with a broker designated by the Company) necessary for the Company to issue Shares upon the vesting, exercise, or settlement of the Award prior to the first date the Shares subject to such Award are scheduled to vest, then the Award will be cancelled on such date and the Shares subject to such Award immediately will revert to the Plan for no additional consideration unless otherwise provided by the Administrator.

22. <u>Inability to Obtain Authority</u>. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction or to complete or comply with the requirements of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state, federal or foreign law or under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchange on which Shares of the same class are then listed, or any other governmental or regulatory body, which authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary or advisable for the issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance will not have been obtained.

23. <u>Shareholder Approval</u>. The Plan will be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within 12 months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such shareholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

24. <u>Fractional Shares</u>. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.
