 c. Yew acknowledges that he has been involved with the Corporation since its inception, that he has special knowledge of the Corporation

 11. Confidential Information. Yew acknowledges that his employment with the Corporation has brought him into close contact with
Confidential Material of the Corporation and its present and potential customers, suppliers, joint venture partners and others with which it establishes business relationships, which is not readily available to the public. Yew further acknowledges
that his employment with the Corporation has brought him into close contact with Confidential Material of third parties that has been disclosed to the Corporation in confidence. 
  
 For the purposes of this Stock Sale Agreement, Confidential Material includes information concerning the business of the
Corporation or other sources of the Confidential Material as currently conducted or plans for the future conduct thereof, including, without limitation, customer and prospect lists and files, technical and operational requirements, marketing
approaches and plans, security concerns, methods of doing business, potential acquisition candidates, cost and pricing data, the identity and skills of employees or consultants, financial data and all other similar information, and all proprietary
information concerning the System heretofore or hereafter developed, including, without limitation, technical specifications, protocols, methods of operation, specifications, data, drawings, diagrams, designs, processes, prototypes and equipment
which the Corporation or other sources of the Confidential Material own, plan, propose to develop or develop, whether for their own use or for the use by their customers or licensees and all component parts of any of the foregoing, irrespective of

modifications. 
  
 Yew acknowledges that the Corporation has
already expended, and expects to expend, substantial sums and has devoted and expects to devote substantial other resources to create the proprietary Confidential Material on which the business of the Corporation depends and to create other

damages that could be incurred by the Corporation and its reputation from the breach or violation of its customers’ or potential customers’ confidences. Yew further acknowledges the competitive value and confidential nature 

  

 6 

 
of the Confidential Material and the damage that could result to the Corporation if information contained therein is disclosed to any third party. Yew shall
at all times treat the Confidential Material as the valuable proprietary information of the Corporation and shall notify Corporation in writing if he learns of the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Material. Yew shall safeguard the
Confidential Material with all due care. Yew hereby agrees that the Confidential Material will be used solely for the benefit of the Corporation and that he shall keep such information confidential and not use it for any other purpose, publish it or
disclose it to any other party or assist any other party to obtain any benefit from the Confidential Material to solicit business from or to provide any products or services to the Corporation and shall deliver promptly to the Corporation all

 12. Enforcement. Yew acknowledges that the provisions of Sections 11 and 9 hereof are essential to the goodwill and potential profitability of the Corporation and have provided a substantial inducement for the
Corporation and Purchaser to execute, and perform their obligations under this Stock Sale Agreement and that the application thereof will not involve a substantial hardship upon his future business or livelihood. Yew agrees that a violation of the
covenants set forth in Sections 8 or 9 hereof, or any provision thereof, will cause irreparable injury to the Corporation and the Corporation shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, at law or in equity, to an
injunction enjoining and restraining Yew from doing or continuing to do any such act and any other violations or threatened violations of such covenants or provisions. 
  
 If any provision of Sections 11 and 12 hereof as applied to any circumstance shall be adjudged by a court to be invalid or
unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provisions of Sections 11 or 12; the application of such provision in any other circumstances or the validity or enforceability of Sections 11 or 12 in any other jurisdiction. If any
provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, Yew agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration or area, or both, of
such provision or to delete specific words or phrases (“blue-penciling”) and in its reduced or blue-penciled form such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. 
  
 Yew intends to, and does hereby, confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained herein upon the courts of any state
of the United States or any other governmental jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such states or jurisdictions shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of
such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination shall not bar or in any way affect the Corporation’ right to the relief provided above in the courts of any state or jurisdiction within the geographical
scope of such covenants, as to breaches of such covenants in 

  

 7 

 
such other respective states or jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state or jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into
diverse and independent covenants. 
  
 13. Indemnification of
Yew. The Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Yew, to the greatest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) which he shall incur or suffer based upon, arising out of or otherwise involving his actions taken as an officer, director or employee of the Corporation, which actions were either taken in good faith or at the direction of Hsieh
or any other officer or employee of the Corporation, other than Yew. To this end, Yew shall be named as an “Additional Insured” on any Directors and Officers Insurance Policy procured or carried by Corporation for a period of three (3)
years following the Closing Date. Provided that the same is available at a commercially reasonable rate. To the extent that Yew shall have acted outside the course and scope of his duties as an officer, director or employee of Corporation, or shall
have acted in bad faith, he shall then indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Corporation, and such officers, directors, and employees of the Corporation affected by such conduct, to the greatest extent permitted by law, from and against all
losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the extent that the same are not covered by insurance. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any right of
subrogation against Yew. 
  
 14. Release. Subject to the
provisions of paragraph 13, above, the Corporation hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Yew and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and Yew hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
releases, acquits and forever discharges the Corporation and its shareholders and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, directors, officers, managers, employees, representatives, attorneys, successors and assigns, including without
limitation, Hsieh (the releasing party is referred to herein as the “releasor” and the party or person being released is referred to herein as the “releasee”) from all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, grievances,
sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims and demands whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, joint or several, in law, admiralty and equity (collectively, “Claims”), which against the releasee, the releasor or his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall
or may have for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world to the date hereof, including, without limitation, those arising out of or relating in any manner to (a) Yew’s interest in the
Corporation as a shareholder, (b) Yew’s employment relationship with the Corporation, (c) Yew’s position in the Corporation as an officer or director, or (d) any promise or implied promise by the Corporation and/or Hsieh with respect to

arising from or relating in any way to any act or failure to act by the Corporation or its representatives or any of them, (2) all Claims arising from or relating in any way to Yew’s employment relationship with the Corporation or the
termination thereof, including any Claims which have been asserted or could have been asserted against any Released Party, (3) any and all Claims which might have been asserted by Yew in any suit, claim or charge for or on account of any matter or
thing whatsoever that has occurred up to and including the date of this Agreement, under any and all laws, statutes, orders, regulations or any other claim or right(s), and any claim under the laws of the United States or the State of California,
including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, the California Constitution, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Gov. Code Section 12940 et seq.; as provided for by California Civil Code Section 1541. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of paragraph 13, above, Yew specifically acknowledges that, by this Agreement, he is releasing the
Corporation and its shareholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives, attorneys, successors and assigns from any claim Yew has or may have had concerning his employment with or separation from the Corporation, including, but
not limited to, any claim for disputed compensation, wrongful discharge, breach of any employment contract, for invasion of privacy, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, breach of any covenant of good faith and fair dealing,
negligence, wrongful termination or unjust dismissal, or under any federal, state or local law dealing with discrimination. 
  
 15. General Release. Releasor hereby waives any and all rights releasor may have under the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the
State of California or any other law of similar effect, which reads as follows: 
  
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT
WITH THE DEBTOR. 
  
 The parties hereto each represent that
they have read and understand the foregoing provision of California Civil Code Section 1542, and in so waiving such provision, hereby acknowledge that he or it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which he or it now
believes to be true with respect to the matters herein released, but agrees that he or it has taken that possibility into account in determining the amount of consideration to be given under this Stock Sale Agreement, and that the general releases
herein given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts, of which each party expressly assumes the risk. Thus, 

  

 9 

 
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the releasees, releasor
expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which releasor does not know of or suspect to exist in releasor’s favor at the time of signing this Agreement, and that this
Agreement contemplates the release of any such Claim or Claims. Yew hereto represents that he has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel and to secure independent advice and counsel concerning every aspect of the foregoing release
and the rights and liabilities being relinquished hereby, and that he fully understands that he is giving up all rights that he may have legally to pursue legal claims against the Corporation and its shareholders, officers, directors, managers,
employees, representatives, attorneys, successors and assigns. Yew specifically acknowledges that he has entered into this Agreement of his own free will after having had the opportunity to consult with any advisor that he desires. 
  
 16. Further Assurances and Cooperation. At any time or from time to
time following the purchase of the Shares by Purchaser, Shareholder and his estate shall, at the request of the Corporation or Purchaser and without further consideration, execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and take all such
further action as the Corporation or Purchaser may reasonably request in order to more effectively vest the Purchaser with full and complete title to the Shares or in order to assist the Purchaser in exercising his rights with respect thereto.
Promptly upon the determination of the amounts to be reported on the Form K-1 and the final calculation of the Tax Distribution and thereby the Purchase Price and Additional Payment, the Purchaser and his successors and assigns shall, at the request
of Shareholder and without further consideration, execute and deliver (i) an amendment to the Promissory Note or an amended and restated Promissory Note to reflect the amount of the Additional Payment, (ii) and any amendments, and modifications or

amounts paid to Yew by the Corporation or Purchaser or of the Corporation as to any matter which Yew may reasonably have knowledge or to the extent Yew may be of material assistance to the Corporation in addressing such audit.

are used to pay the exercise price of an Option, such Shares must have been held by the Participant for such period of time, if any, as necessary to avoid variable accounting for the Option. 
  
 (d) EXERCISE TERM. In no event may any Option be
exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant Date. 
  
 (e) ADDITIONAL OPTIONS UPON EXERCISE. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide in an original Award Certificate for the automatic grant of a new Option to any Participant who delivers Shares as full
or partial payment of the exercise price of the original Option. Any new Option granted in such a case (i) shall be for the same number of Shares as the Participant delivered in exercising the original Option, (ii) shall have an exercise price of
100% of the Fair Market Value of the surrendered Shares on the date of exercise of the original Option (the grant date for the new Option), and (iii) shall have a term equal to the unexpired term of the original Option. 
  
 7.2. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The terms of any Incentive Stock Options
granted under the Plan must comply with the following additional rules: 
  
 (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the Grant Date. 
  
 (b) LAPSE OF OPTION. An Incentive Stock Option shall lapse upon the earliest of the following
circumstances; provided, however, that the Committee may, prior to the lapse of the Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in subsections (3), (4) and (5) below, provide in writing that the Option will extend until a later date,
but if an Option is so extended and is exercised after the dates specified in subsections (3) and (4) below or more than three months after termination of employment for any other reason, it will automatically become a Nonstatutory Stock Option:

  
 (1) The expiration date set forth in the
Award Certificate. 
  
 (2) The tenth anniversary
of the Grant Date. 
  
 (3) Three months after
termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant for any reason other than the Participant’s Disability or death. 
  

 - 11 - 

 (4) One year after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a
Participant by reason of the Participant’s Disability. 
  
 (5) One year after the Participant’s death if the Participant dies while employed, or during the three-month period described in paragraph (3) or during the one-year period described in paragraph (4) and before
the Option otherwise lapses. 
  
 Unless the exercisability of the Incentive Stock
Option is accelerated as provided in Article 13, if a Participant exercises an Option after termination of employment, the Option may be exercised only with respect to the Shares that were otherwise vested on the Participant’s termination of
employment. Upon the Participant’s death, any exercisable Incentive Stock Options may be exercised by the Participant’s beneficiary, determined in accordance with Section 13.5. 
  
 (c) INDIVIDUAL DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date)
of all Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.00. 
  
 (d) TEN PERCENT OWNERS. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the Grant Date, owns stock possessing
more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary unless the exercise price per Share of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share at the Grant Date and
the Option expires no later than five years after the Grant Date. 
  
 (e) EXPIRATION OF AUTHORITY TO GRANT INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted pursuant to the Plan after the day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of date the Plan was adopted
by the Board, or the termination of the Plan, if earlier. 
  
 (f) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. During a Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s Disability, by the Participant’s
guardian or legal representative. 
  
 (g)
ELIGIBLE GRANTEES. The Committee may not grant an Incentive Stock Option to a person who is not at the Grant Date an employee of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
  
 8.1. GRANT OF
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants on the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) RIGHT TO PAYMENT. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant to whom it is granted has the right to
receive the excess, if any, of: 
  
 (1) The Fair
Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise; over 
  

 - 12 - 

 (2) The grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as determined by the Committee, which
shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of one Share on the Grant Date in the case of any Stock Appreciation Right related to an Incentive Stock Option. 
  

(b) OTHER TERMS. All awards of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate. The terms, methods of
exercise, methods of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award and shall be reflected in the
Award Certificate. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 
 PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
  
 9.1. GRANT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Shares or Performance Units to Participants on such terms and
conditions as may be selected by the Committee. The Committee shall have the complete discretion to determine the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units granted to each Participant and to designate the provisions of such Performance
Awards as provided in Section 4.3. 
  
 9.2. PERFORMANCE
GOALS. The Committee may establish performance goals for Performance Awards which may be based on any criteria selected by the Committee. Such performance goals may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that
relate to the performance of an Affiliate or a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the
Company or the manner in which the Company or an Affiliate conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render performance goals to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance goals in whole or in part, as the Committee deems
appropriate. If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit or function during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the performance goals or performance period are no longer appropriate and may
(i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable performance period as it deems appropriate to make such goals and period comparable to the initial goals and period, or (ii) make a cash payment to the participant in amount
determined by the Committee. 
  
 9.3. RIGHT TO PAYMENT. The
grant of a Performance Share to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive at a specified later time a specified number of Shares, or the equivalent cash value, if the performance goals established by the Committee are achieved and the
other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. The grant of a Performance Unit to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive at a specified later time a specified dollar value in cash or other property, including Shares, variable under
conditions specified in the Award, if the performance goals in the Award are achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. The Committee shall set performance goals and other terms or conditions to payment of the Performance
Awards in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and value of the Performance Awards that will be paid to the Participant. 
  
 9.4. OTHER TERMS. Performance Awards may be payable in cash, Stock, or other property, and have such other terms and
conditions as determined by the Committee and reflected in the Award Certificate. For purposes of determining the number of Shares to be used in payment of a Performance Award denominated in cash but payable in whole or in part in Shares 

 

 - 13 - 

 or Restricted Stock, the number of Shares to be so paid will be determined by dividing the cash value of the Award to be
so paid by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of determination by the Committee of the amount of the payment under the Award, or, if the Committee so directs, the date immediately preceding the date the Award is paid. 
  
 ARTICLE 10 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS 
  
 10.1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. An Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate setting forth the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable to the Award. 
  
 10.2.
ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote
Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of performance goals or
otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Certificate, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, and
the Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock Units until such time as Shares of Stock are paid in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. 
  
 10.3. FORFEITURE. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at
the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of Continuous Status as a Participant during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the applicable restriction period, Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Award Certificate that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock
or Restricted Stock Units. 
  
 10.4. DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED
STOCK. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the Participant at the time of grant either by book-entry registration or by delivering to the Participant, or a custodian or escrow agent (including, without limitation, the Company or one
or more of its employees) designated by the Committee, a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Participant. If physical certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant,
such certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. 
  
 ARTICLE 11 
 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

  
 11.1 GRANT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. The Committee
is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Participants subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall entitle the Participant to receive payments equal to dividends with respect to all or a
portion of the number of Shares of Stock subject to an Award, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents 
  

 - 14 - 

 be paid or distributed when accrued or be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares of Stock, or otherwise
reinvested. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
 STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS 
  
 12.1. GRANT OF STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to
Participants such other Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including without limitation
Shares awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, and Awards valued by reference to book value of Shares
or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Parents or Subsidiaries. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. 
  
 ARTICLE 13 
 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO
AWARDS 
  
 13.1. STAND-ALONE, TANDEM, AND SUBSTITUTE
AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or (subject to Section 15.2(c)) in substitution for, any other Award granted under the Plan. If an Award is
granted in substitution for another Award, the Committee may require the surrender of such other Award in consideration of the grant of the new Award. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same
time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 
  
 13.2. TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with the
Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from its Grant Date (or, if Section 7.2(d) applies, five years from its Grant Date). 
  
 13.3. FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award Certificate, payments or transfers to be made by
the Company or an Affiliate on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such form as the Committee determines at or after the Grant Date, including without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may
be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee. 
  
 13.4. LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may be
pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No
unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order that would
satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Award under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result
in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock 
  

 - 15 - 

 Option to fail to be described in Code Section 422(b), and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into
account any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable Awards. 
  
 13.5 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 13.4, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise
the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all
terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Certificate applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Certificate otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If
no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or
revocation is filed with the Committee. 
  
 13.6. COMPLIANCE
WITH LAWS. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any
national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to
the Stock. 
  
 13.7 ACCELERATION UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY OR
RETIREMENT. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate, upon the Participant’s death or Disability during his or her Continuous Status as a Participant, or upon the Participant’s Retirement, all of such Participant’s
outstanding Options, SARs, and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions on his or her outstanding Awards shall lapse. Any exercisable Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in
accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(c), the excess Options shall be deemed to be
Nonstatutory Stock Options. 
  
 13.8. SPECIFIED ACCELERATION
EVENTS. An Award Certificate, applicable plan document, or separate agreement with a Participant may provide that some or all of a Participant’s outstanding Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall
become fully exercisable, or that some or all of the restrictions on a Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, upon the occurrence of a specified future event, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control or the
Participant’s employment being terminated in connection with a Change of Control. 
  
 13.9. ACCELERATION FOR OTHER REASONS. Regardless of whether an event has occurred as described in Section 13.7 or 13.8 above, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that all or a portion
of a Participant’s Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully or partially exercisable, and/or that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of a Participant’s outstanding
Awards shall lapse, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this
Section 13.9. 
  
 13.10 EFFECT OF ACCELERATION. If an Award
is accelerated under Section 13.8 or Section 13.9, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that the Award will expire 
  

 - 16 - 

 after a designated period of time after such acceleration to the extent not then exercised, (ii) that the Award will be
settled in cash rather than Stock, (iii) that the Award will be assumed by another party to a transaction giving rise to the acceleration or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that the Award may
be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, or (v) any combination of the
foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. To the extent that such acceleration causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed
the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(c), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options. 
  
 13.11. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of
employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant shall not be deemed to terminate (i) in a
circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Company to an Affiliate, transfers from an Affiliate to the Company, or transfers from one Affiliate to another Affiliate, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or prior to
such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the Company or any Affiliate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to extend beyond three months from the date a
Participant is deemed to be an employee of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary for purposes of Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, the Options held by such Participant shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options. 
  
 ARTICLE 14 
 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 
  
 14.1. GENERAL. In the event of a corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee may adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or potential
benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of
the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and exercisable and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will
be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair
Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different
for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination
or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically be adjusted
proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.

 ARTICLE 15 
 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 
  
 15.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without shareholder approval; provided, however, that if an
amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, (i) materially increase the number of Shares available under the Plan, (ii) expand the types of awards available under the Plan, (iii) materially expand the class
of participants eligible to participate in the Plan, (iv) materially extend the term of the Plan, or (iv) otherwise constitute a material change requiring shareholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing
or other requirements of an Exchange, then such amendment shall be subject to shareholder approval; and provided further, that the Board or Committee may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of shareholders of the Company
for any reason, including by reason of such approval being necessary or deemed advisable to (i) permit Awards made hereunder to be exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, (ii) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an
Exchange, or (iii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. 
  
 15.2. AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may, without additional consideration, amend, modify or terminate
any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; provided, however: 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if
the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise or base price of such Award); 
  
 (b) The original term of an Option may not be extended without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article 14, the exercise
price of an Option may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; and 
  
 (d) No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the
written consent of the Participant affected thereby. An outstanding Award shall not be deemed to be “adversely affected” by a Plan amendment if such amendment would not reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award
had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment (with the per-share value of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the
date of such amendment over the exercise or base price of such Award). 
  

 - 18 - 

 ARTICLE 16 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 16.1. NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS; NON-UNIFORM DETERMINATIONS. No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to
treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such Eligible
Participants are similarly situated). 
  
 16.2. NO STOCKHOLDER
RIGHTS. No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 
  
 16.3. WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or
require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or
other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. If Shares are surrendered to the Company to satisfy withholding obligations in excess of the minimum withholding obligation, such Shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested
shares for such period of time, if any, as necessary to avoid variable accounting for the Award. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, require
or permit that any such withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be
withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. 
  
 16.4. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED SERVICE. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Certificate or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan,
shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, director or consultant at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as
an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a Participant’s Award or otherwise. 
  
 16.5. UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to
any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

  
 16.6. INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under
applicable law, each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such
member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such member may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts
paid by such member in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him provided he gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own
behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such 
  

 - 19 - 

 persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or
otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
  
 16.7. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or
benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. 
  
 16.8. EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company or its Affiliates. 
  
 16.9. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any
conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
  
 16.10. GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include
the plural. 
  
 16.11. FRACTIONAL SHARES . No fractional
Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down. 
  
 16.12. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no
Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act),
sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or
qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in
connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the
Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee’s
determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state 
  

 - 20 - 

 or foreign law or to take any other action in order to cause the issuance and delivery of such
certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement. 
  
 16.13. GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. 
  
 16.14 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Each Award Certificate may contain such
other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided that such other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 
  

16.15. NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The grant of any Award shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make
adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for
proper corporate purposes, to grant or assume awards, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee
may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award granted to such Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan.
