respect to an Award under the Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder of the Award or the Committee; (ix) interpret and administer the Plan and any

all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award or Award Agreement, and any employee of the Company or any Affiliate. 
 (b) Delegation. The Committee may delegate its powers and duties under the Plan to one or more officers or Directors of the Company, subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as the
Committee may establish in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Committee shall not delegate its powers and duties under the Plan (i) with regard to officers or directors of the Company or any Affiliate who are subject to

Corporation Law. 
 (c) Power and Authority of the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Board may, at any time and from time to time, without any further action of the Committee, exercise the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan, unless the exercise of such powers and duties by the Board would cause the Plan not to comply
with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m). 
 Section 4. Shares Available for Awards 

(a) Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that may
be issued under all Awards under the Plan shall be the sum of (i) 29,500,000 and (ii) any Shares subject to awards as of May 22, 2012 under the Company’s 2007 Stock Plan that, on or after the effective date of the Plan, cease for
any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of such awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable Shares). The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan
pursuant to clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall be the same number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Company’s 2007 Stock Plan with respect to such awards. Shares to be issued under the
Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, treasury shares or Shares acquired in the open market or otherwise. If an Award terminates, is forfeited or is cancelled without the issuance of any Shares, or if any Shares covered by an Award or to which
an Award relates are not issued for any other reason, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award, to the extent of any such 

  
 -5-

 
termination, forfeiture, cancellation or other event, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan. If Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited or otherwise reacquired by the
Company prior to vesting, whether or not dividends have been paid on such Shares, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award of Restricted Stock, to the extent of any
such forfeiture or reacquisition by the Company, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan. Shares that are withheld in full or partial payment to the Company of the purchase or exercise price relating to any Award or in connection
with the satisfaction of tax obligations relating to any Award shall not be available for granting Awards under the Plan. Additionally, if an Option is net exercised, as permitted by Section 6(a)(iii), the number of Shares counted against the
aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award shall be the gross amount of Shares subject to the Award. 
 (b) Accounting for Awards. For purposes of this Section 4, if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award or to which such
Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan. With respect to Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or any other Awards under the Plan the value of
which Awards is based solely on an increase in the value of the Shares after the date of grant of such Awards, the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan shall be reduced by one Share for each Share covered by or payable under such
Award or to which such Award relates. With respect to any Awards other than Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or any other Awards under the Plan the value of which Awards is based solely on an increase in the value of the Shares after the date of
grant of such Awards, the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan shall be reduced by 2.63 Shares for each Share covered by such Award or to which such Award relates. For Stock Appreciation Rights settled in Shares upon exercise, the
aggregate number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, rather than the number of Shares actually issued upon exercise, shall be counted against the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. Awards
that do not entitle the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares and Awards that are settled in cash shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. 

(c) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of 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
purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to
be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) that thereafter may be made the subject of
Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the purchase price or exercise price with respect to any Award and (iv) the limitations contained in
Section 4(d) of the Plan; provided, however, that the number of Shares covered by any Award or to which such Award relates shall always be a whole number. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee or the Board, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 (d) Award Limitations Under the Plan. 

 

	 	(i)	Section 162(m) Limitation for Certain Types of Awards. No Eligible Person that may be a “covered person” within the meaning of Section 162(m)
may be granted Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or any other Award or Awards under the Plan, the value of which Award or Awards is based solely on an increase in the value of the Shares after the date of grant of such Award or Awards, and which is
intended to represent “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m), for more than 2,000,000 Shares or, if such Award is payable in cash, for an amount greater than the Fair Market Value of 2,000,000
Shares at the time of payment (subject, in each case, to adjustment as provided for in Section 4(c) of the Plan) in the aggregate in any calendar year. 

 

	 	(ii)	Section 162(m) Limitations for Performance Awards. 

  

	 	(A)	Performance Awards Denominated in Shares. No Eligible Person that may be a “covered person” within the meaning of Section 162(m) may be granted
Awards denominated in Shares under the Plan which are intended to represent “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) (including, without limitation, Performance Awards, Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units), for more than 2,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 4(c) of the Plan) in the aggregate in any calendar year. The limitation contained in this Section 4(d)(ii)(A) does not apply to any
Award subject to the limitations contained in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii)(B). 

  

	 	(B)	Performance Awards Denominated in Cash. The maximum amount payable pursuant to all Performance Awards denominated in cash under the Plan which are intended to
represent “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) to any Participant that may be a “covered person” within the meaning of Section 162(m) in the aggregate in any calendar year
shall be $10,000,000 in value, whether payable in cash, Shares or other property. The limitation contained in this Section 4(d)(ii)(B) does not apply to any Award subject to the limitations contained in Section 4(d)(i) or
Section 4(d)(ii)(A). 

  

	 	(iii)	Limitation for Awards to Consultants and Advisors. Awards will only be granted to consultants or advisors in compliance with Rule 405 of the Securities Act.

  

	 	(iv)	The limitations contained in this Section 4(d) shall apply only with respect to Awards granted under this Plan, and limitations on awards granted under any other
stockholder approved executive incentive plan maintained by the Company will be governed solely by the terms of such other plan. 

  
 -7-

 Section 5. Eligibility 
 Any Eligible Person shall be eligible to be designated a Participant. In determining which Eligible Persons shall receive an Award and the terms of any Award, the Committee may take into account the
nature of the services rendered by the respective Eligible Persons, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, shall deem relevant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may only be granted to full-time or part-time employees (which term as used herein includes, without limitation, officers and Directors who are also employees), and an Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted
to an employee of an Affiliate unless such Affiliate is also a “subsidiary corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code or any successor provision. 

Section 6. Awards 

(a) Options. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Eligible Persons with the following terms and conditions and with such
additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine: 
  

	 	(i)	Exercise Price. The purchase price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option; provided, however, that the Committee may designate a purchase price below Fair Market Value on the date of grant (A) to the extent necessary or appropriate, as determined by the
Committee, to satisfy applicable legal or regulatory requirements of a foreign jurisdiction or (B) if the Option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an
Affiliate. 

  

	 	(ii)	Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall not be longer than 10 years from the date of grant.

  

	 	(iii)	Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part and the method or methods by
which, and the form or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the applicable exercise price) in
which, payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made. Alternatively, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit a Non-Qualified Stock Option (but not an Incentive Stock Option) to be exercised by
delivering to the Participant a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of exercise) equal to the excess, if positive, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Non-Qualified Stock Option being
exercised, on the date of exercise, over the exercise price of the Non-Qualified Stock Option for such Shares. 

  
 -8-

	 	(iv)	Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the following additional provisions shall apply to the grant of Options which are
intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options: 

  

	 	(A)	The Committee will not grant Incentive Stock Options in which the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the Shares with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan and all other plans of the Company and its Affiliates) shall exceed $100,000. 

 

	 	(B)	All Incentive Stock Options must be granted within 10 years from the earlier of the date on which this Plan was adopted by the Board or the date this Plan was approved
by the stockholders of the Company. 

  

	 	(C)	Unless sooner exercised, all Incentive Stock Options shall expire and no longer be exercisable no later than 10 years after the date of grant; provided,
however, that in the case of a grant of an Incentive Stock Option to a Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Affiliate, such Incentive Stock Option shall expire and no longer be exercisable no later than five years from the date of grant. 

 

	 	(D)	The purchase price per Share for an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock
Option; provided, however, that, in the case of the grant of an Incentive Stock Option to a Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) stock possessing more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Affiliate, the purchase price per Share purchasable under an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
grant of the Incentive Stock Option. 

  

	 	(E)	Any Incentive Stock Option authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, but shall in all events be consistent
with and contain all provisions required in order to qualify the Option as an Incentive Stock Option. 

 (b)
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall
confer on the holder thereof a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine, at any time during a specified period before or after
the date of exercise) over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the Committee, which price shall not be less than 

  
 -9-

 
100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right; provided, however, that the Committee may designate a per share grant price below Fair
Market Value on the date of grant (A) to the extent necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Committee, to satisfy applicable legal or regulatory requirements of a foreign jurisdiction or (B) if the Stock Appreciation Right is
granted in substitution for a stock appreciation right previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price, term,
methods of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall
not be longer than 10 years from the date of grant. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate. 

(c) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant an Award of Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine: 

 

	 	(i)	Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without
limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in
such installments or otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit acceleration of vesting of such Awards in certain events including, but not limited to, the Participant’s death,
disability, termination, retirement or a Change of Control. 

  

	 	(ii)	Issuance and Delivery of Shares. Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted and may be evidenced in such
manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered
in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. Shares representing Restricted Stock that are no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered to the
Participant promptly after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived. In the case of Restricted Stock Units, no Shares shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted. Upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions and the restricted period
relating to Restricted Stock Units evidencing the right to receive Shares, such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the holder of the Restricted Stock Units. 

 

	 	(iii)	 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon a Participant’s termination of employment or resignation or removal as a
Director (in either case, as determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted 

  
 -10-

	 	
Stock and all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at such time shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds
that a waiver would be in the best interest of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

 (d) Performance Awards. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance Awards to Eligible
Persons subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Performance Award granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units), other securities, other Awards or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive payments, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more performance goals during such performance periods as
the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted, the amount of any payment or
transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award and any other terms and conditions of any Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee. Performance Awards that are granted to Eligible Persons who may be “covered employees”
under Section 162(m) and that are intended to be “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m), to the extent required by Section 162(m), shall be conditioned solely on the achievement of
one or more objective Performance Goals established by the Committee within the time prescribed by Section 162(m), and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 162(m), as described below. 

 

	 	(i)	Timing of Designations; Duration of Performance Periods. For each Award intended to be “qualified performance-based compensation,” the Committee shall,
not later than 90 days after the beginning of each performance period, (i) designate all Participants for such performance period and (ii) establish the objective performance factors for each Participant for that performance period on the
basis of one or more objective Performance Goals; provided, however, that, with respect to such Performance Goals, the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the Committee actually establishes each Performance Goal. The Committee
shall have sole discretion to determine the applicable performance period, provided that in the case of a performance period less than 12 months, in no event shall a Performance Goal be considered to be pre-established if it is established after 25
percent of the performance period (as scheduled in good faith at the time the Performance Goal is established) has elapsed. 

  

	 	(ii)	Certification. Following the close of each performance period and prior to payment of any amount to a Participant with respect to an Award intended to be
“qualified performance-based compensation,” the Committee shall certify in writing as to the attainment of all factors (including the performance factors for a Participant) upon which any payments to a Participant for that performance
period are to be based. 

  
 -11-

	 	(iii)	Payment of Qualified Performance Awards. Certified Awards shall be paid no later than two and one-half months following the conclusion of the applicable
performance period; provided, however, that the Committee may establish procedures that allow for the payment of Awards on a deferred basis subject to the requirements of Section 409A. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the
amount of a payout achieved and otherwise to be paid in connection with an Award intended to be “qualified performance-based compensation,” but may not exercise discretion to increase such amount. 

(e) Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons under which the
Participant shall be entitled to receive payments (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property as determined in the discretion of the Committee) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to holders of
Shares with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons in connection with grants of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to such Eligible Persons. 

(f) Stock Awards. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Eligible Persons Shares without restrictions thereon, as deemed
by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such Stock Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. 

(g) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that are
denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose
of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. The consideration paid by the Participant may be paid by such method or methods and in such form
or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property or any combination thereof), as the Committee shall determine. 
 (h) General. 
  

	 	(i)	Consideration for Awards. Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash or other consideration as may be determined by the Committee or
required by applicable law. 

  

	 	(ii)	Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in
substitution for any other Award or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the
Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 

  
 -12-

	 	(iii)	Forms of Payment under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an
Affiliate upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property or any combination thereof),
and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the
payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents with respect to installment or deferred payments. 

 

	 	(iv)	Term of Awards. Subject to Section 6(a)(iv)(C), the term of each Award shall be for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant as determined by
the Committee at the time of grant. 

  

	 	(v)	Limits on Transfer of Awards. Except as provided by the Committee or by this Plan, any Award (other than Stock Awards) and any right under any such Award shall
not be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by transfer of an Award back to the Company, including transfer of an Award (but not any Option) to the Company in connection with a deferral
election under a Company deferred compensation plan. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Awards of Incentive Stock Options shall not be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The
Committee may establish procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a Person or Persons, as beneficiary or beneficiaries, to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any
Award in the event of the Participant’s death. The Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it determines, may permit a Participant to transfer a Non-Qualified Stock Option to any “family
member” (as defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor to such Instructions or such Form) under the Securities Act) at any time that such Participant holds such Option, provided that such transfers may not be for
“value” (as defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor to such Instructions or such Form) under the Securities Act) and the family member may not make any subsequent transfers other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Each Award under the Plan or right under any such Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant (except as provided herein or in an Award Agreement or amendment thereto relating
to a Non-Qualified Stock Option) or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. No Award (other than a Stock Award) or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise
encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. 

  
 -13-

	 	(vi)	Restrictions; Securities Exchange Listing. All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject
to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable federal or state securities laws and regulatory requirements, and the Committee may cause appropriate entries to be made with respect to, or legends to be placed on
the certificates for, such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares or other securities covered by an Award unless and until the requirements of any federal or state securities
or other laws, rules or regulations (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined by the Company to be applicable are satisfied. 

  

	 	(vii)	Section 409A Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that
constitutes “deferred compensation” to a Participant under Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder is otherwise payable or distributable to a Participant under the Plan or any Award Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence
of a Change of Control or due to the Participant’s disability or “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A), such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such
circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change of Control, disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability or separation
from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable proposed or final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by
reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. Any payment or distribution that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a Specified Employee (as determined by the Committee in good faith) on account of separation from service may
not be made before the date which is six months after the date of the Specified Employee’s separation from service (or if earlier, upon the Specified Employee’s death) unless the payment or distribution is exempt from the application of
Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. 

 Section 7. Amendment and Termination;
Corrections 
 (a) Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at
any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, prior approval of the stockholders of the Company shall be required for any amendment to the Plan that: 

 

	 	(i)	requires stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange
applicable to the Company; 

  

	 	(ii)	increases the number of shares authorized under the Plan as specified in Section 4(a) of the Plan; 

  
 -14-

	 	(iii)	increases the number of shares subject to the limitations contained in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii)(A) of the Plan or the dollar amount subject to the
limitation contained in Section 4(d)(ii)(B) of the Plan; 

  

	 	(iv)	permits repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, which is prohibited by Section 3(a)(v) of the Plan; 

 

	 	(v)	permits the award of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at a price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, contrary to the provisions of Section 6(a) and Section 6(b) of the Plan; or 

  

	 	(vi)	would cause Section 162(m) to become unavailable with respect to the Plan. 

 (b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such action may adversely affect the rights of the holder of such Award without
the consent of the Participant or holder or beneficiary thereof. The Company intends that Awards under the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Section 409A to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder, and the Committee shall administer and
interpret the Plan and all Award Agreements in a manner consistent with that intent. If any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, the Committee may amend that provision (or take
any other action reasonably necessary) to avoid any adverse tax results and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof.

 (c) Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to implement or maintain the effectiveness of the Plan. 
 Section 8. Income Tax Withholding 
 In order to comply with all
applicable federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state, local or foreign payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which
are the sole and absolute responsibility of a Participant, are withheld or collected from such Participant. In order to assist a Participant in paying all or a portion of the applicable taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise or receipt of
(or the lapse of restrictions relating to) an Award, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax obligation by (a) electing to have the
Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or (b) delivering to the Company
Shares other than Shares issuable upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. The election, if any, must be made on or before the date that the amount
of tax to be withheld is determined. 

  
 -15-

 Section 9. General Provisions 

(a) No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Person, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the
Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with
respect to different Participants. 
 (b) Award Agreements. No Participant shall have rights under an Award granted to
such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant, or until such Award Agreement is delivered and accepted through an electronic
medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company. 
 (c) Plan Provisions Control. In the event that any
provision of an Award Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the Plan as set forth herein or subsequently amended, the terms of the Plan shall control. 

(d) No Rights of Stockholders. Except with respect to Restricted Stock and Stock Awards, neither a Participant nor the
Participant’s legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise or payment of any Award, in whole or in part, unless and until such
Shares have been issued. 
 (e) No Limit on Other Compensation Plans or Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall
prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans or arrangements, and such plans or arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

(f) No Right to Employment or Directorship. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be
retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliate, or the right to be retained as a Director, nor will it affect in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time, with or without
cause, or remove a Director in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, or remove a Director who is a Participant, free from any liability or any claim under the
Plan or any Award, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. By participating in the Plan, each Participant shall be deemed to have accepted all the conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of any rules
and regulations adopted by the Committee and shall be fully bound thereby. 
 (g) Governing Law. The internal law, and
not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the validity, construction and effect of the Plan or any Award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award. 

(h) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended
without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in
full force and effect. 

  
 -16-

 (i) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be
construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or
any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 
 (j) Other Benefits. No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Participant under the Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Participant’s compensation or
benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, disability, severance, termination pay, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company, unless required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan. 

(k) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee
shall determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. 

(l) Headings. Headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such
headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. 
 (m) Consultation With Professional Tax and Investment Advisors. The holder of any Award granted hereunder acknowledges that the grant, exercise, vesting or any payment with respect to such an
Award, and the sale or other disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, may have tax consequences pursuant to the Code or under local, state or international tax laws. Such a holder further acknowledges that such holder is relying
solely and exclusively on the holder’s own professional tax and investment advisors with respect to any and all such matters (and is not relying, in any manner, on the Company or any of its employees or representatives). Finally, such a holder
understands and agrees that any and all tax consequences resulting from the Award and its grant, exercise, vesting or any payment with respect thereto, and the sale or other disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, is solely and
exclusively the responsibility of such holder without any expectation or understanding that the Company or any of its employees, representatives or Affiliates will pay or reimburse such holder for such taxes or other items. 

(n) Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations. The Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Persons who are foreign
nationals, who are located outside the United States, who are United States citizens or resident aliens on global assignments in foreign nations, who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to
(or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee,
be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply
with such legal or regulatory provisions. 

  
 -17-

 (o) Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award
or Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the authority to establish any “blackout” period that the Company deems necessary or advisable with respect to any or all Awards. 

Section 10. Clawback or Recoupment 
 All Awards under this Plan shall be subject to forfeiture or other penalties pursuant to the Company’s Clawback Policy, as amended from time to time, and such forfeiture and/or penalty conditions or
provisions as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 Section 11. Effective Date of the Plan;
Effect on Prior Plan 
 The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company to be held on July 17, 2012 and the Plan shall be effective as of the date of such stockholder approval. On and after the date of stockholder approval of the Plan, no awards shall be granted under the Company’s
2007 Stock Plan, but all outstanding awards previously granted under the 2007 Stock Plan shall remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof. 
 Section 12. Term of the Plan 
 No Award shall be granted under the Plan
after (i) 10 years from the earlier of the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board or the date of stockholder approval or (ii) any earlier date of discontinuation or termination established pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Plan;
provided, however, that in the case of a Performance Award intended to be “qualified performance-based compensation,” no such Performance Award shall be granted under the Plan after the fifth year following the year in which
stockholders approved the Performance Goals unless and until the Performance Goals are re-approved by the stockholders. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may
extend beyond such dates, and the authority of the Committee provided for hereunder with respect to the Plan and any Awards, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond the termination of the Plan.
