Independent Director; provided, that the authority and validity of any act taken or not taken by the Administrator shall not be affected if any person administering the Plan is not an Outside Director or a Non-Employee Director. Except as
specifically reserved to the Board under the terms of the Plan, and subject to any limitations set forth in the charter of the Compensation Committee, the Administrator shall have full and final authority to operate, manage and administer the Plan
on behalf of the Company. 
 (b) Powers of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to grant Awards
consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the power and authority: 
 (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to
time be granted; 
 (ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any, of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Unrestricted Stock Awards, Performance Share Awards, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Cash Awards, or any combination of the foregoing, granted to any one or more

of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, and to approve the form of written instruments evidencing the Awards; except that repricing of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be
permitted without shareholder approval and further provided that, other than by reason of, or in connection with. death, Disability, retirement, involuntary termination of employment by the Company (without cause), or Change in Control, the

(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 6(a)(ii), to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; 

  
 4 

 (vii) to determine at any time whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances
distribution or the receipt of Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the grantee and whether and to what extent the Company shall pay or credit amounts constituting
interest (at rates determined by the Administrator) or dividends or deemed dividends on such deferrals; 
 (viii) at any time to adopt,
alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for administration and operation of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related
written instruments); to make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan; to decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan; and

All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees. 

(c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. The Administrator, in its discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of

at Fair Market Value, to individuals who are not Reporting Persons or Covered Employees. Any such delegation by the Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount or value of Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation
and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price of any Stock Option, the conversion ratio or price of other Awards and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but
such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Administrator’s delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan. 

(d) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable
for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Administrator (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and
reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time. 
  

	Section 4.	Stock Issuable Under the Plan; Mergers; Substitution  

 (a) Stock
Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall initially be 40,300,000 shares (the “Initial Limit”), 

  
 5 

 
provided that on July 1, 2014 the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be adjusted, as necessary, to equal fifteen percent (15%) of the
number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the initial closing of Company’s initial public offering and, if applicable, the closing of any exercise of the overallotment option granted to the underwriters in the
Company’s initial public offering and on each July 1 thereafter, the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be cumulatively increased by four percent (4%) of the number of shares of Stock
issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding June 30 or such lesser number of shares of Stock as determined by the Administrator (the “Annual Increase”). Subject to such overall limitation, the maximum aggregate number of
shares of Stock that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on July 1, 2014 and on each July 1 thereafter by the lesser of the Annual Increase for such year or twenty
million (20,000,000) shares of Stock, subject in all cases to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) (the “Authorized Pool”). For purposes of this limitation, in respect of any shares of Stock under any Award which shares are
forfeited, canceled, satisfied without the issuance of Stock, otherwise terminated, or, for shares of Stock issued pursuant to any unvested full value Award, reacquired by the Company at not more than the grantee’s purchase price (other than by
exercise) (“Unissued Shares”), the number of shares of Stock that were removed from the Authorized Pool for such Unissued Shares shall be added back to the Authorized Pool. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the exercise of any Award to
the extent that the Award is exercised through tendering (or attesting to) previously owned shares or through withholding shares that would otherwise be awarded and to the extent shares are withheld for tax withholding purposes, the Authorized Pool
shall be reduced by the gross number of shares of Stock being exercised without giving effect to the number of shares tendered or withheld. Subject to such overall limitation, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any
type or types of Award, including Incentive Stock Options, but except for Unrestricted Stock Awards (for which the maximum number of shares issuable subject to such Awards is limited to ten percent (10%) of such maximum number); provided
however than the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to all Awards that may be granted under this Plan to any individual in the aggregate in any fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed the Initial Limit, subject to adjustment under
Section 4(b) below. The shares available for issuance from the Authorized Pool may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury, or shares purchased on the open market. 

(b) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 20 hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger
or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or
subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Stock that can be granted to any one
individual grantee, (iii) the maximum number of shares that may be granted under a Performance-Based Award, (iv) the number and kind of shares or 

  
 6 

 
other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (v) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (vi) the price for
each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) as
to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such
adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares. 
 The Administrator may also
adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or
dispositions of stock or property or any other event if it is determined by the Administrator that such adjustment is appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, provided that no such adjustment shall be made in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, without the consent of the grantee, if it would constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. 

(c) Substitute Awards. The Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by
employees, directors or other key persons of another corporation in connection with the merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of
the employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers appropriate in the circumstances. Any substitute Awards granted under the Plan shall not count
against the share limitation applicable to individuals set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 4(a). 
  

	Section 5.	Eligibility  

 Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees
(including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company or a Subsidiary. All other Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors and key persons (including consultants and prospective employees) of the Company and its
Subsidiaries. 
  

	Section 6.	Stock Options 

 Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such
form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. 
 Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or
Nonstatutory Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option
does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 

  
 7 

 (a) Stock Options. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be
granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish. 

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 6
shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d)
of the Code) more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the option price of such Incentive Stock
Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. 
 (ii) Option Term. The term of
each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Stock Option is granted. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of
Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the term of such Stock
Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant. 
 (iii) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options
shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the Grant Date. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any
Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. 

(iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company,
specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods to the extent provided in the Option Award agreement: 

(A) In cash, or by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; 

(B) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under
any company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; 
 (C) By a
“cashless exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the optionee delivers to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and
acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event 

  
 8 

 
the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as
the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure;
 (D) By a “net exercise” arrangement
pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; or 

(E) Any other method permitted by the Administrator. 

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the shares of Stock to be purchased
pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the
fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award agreement or applicable provisions of laws. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number
of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares attested to. 

(v) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under
Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and
subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 

(vi) Exercise Period following Termination. When an optionee’s employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and
its Subsidiaries terminates, the optionee’s Stock Options may be exercised within the period of time specified in the Award Agreement evidencing the Option, to the extent that the Option is vested on the optionee’s Termination Date. In the
absence of a specific period of time set forth in the Award Agreement a Stock Option shall remain exercisable (to the extent vested on the optionee’s Termination Date): (i) for three (3) months following the Termination Date upon any
termination other than for Disability or death; or (ii) for twelve (12) months following the Termination Date upon termination for Disability or death, or if an optionee dies within three (3) months after his Termination Date;
provided however that in no event shall any Option be exercisable after the expiration of the term of such Option. 
 (b)
Non-transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only
by the optionee, or by the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the optionee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide in the

  
 9 

 
Award Agreement regarding a given Option, or may agree in writing with respect to an outstanding Option, that the optionee may transfer his Nonstatutory Stock Options to members of his immediate
family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this
Plan and the applicable Option. 
 (c) Form of Settlement. Shares of Stock issued upon exercise of a Stock Option shall be free
of all restrictions under the Plan, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. 
  

	Section 7.	Stock Appreciation Rights  

 (a) Nature of Stock Appreciation
Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive cash or shares of Stock, as determined by the Administrator, having a value on the date of exercise calculated as follows: (i) the Grant Date exercise
price of a share of Stock is (ii) subtracted from the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of exercise and (iii) the difference is multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall
have been exercised. 
 (b) Exercise Price of Stock Appreciation Rights. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall
not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date. 
 (c) Grant and Exercise of Stock
Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan. 

(d) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and
conditions as shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years. 

(e) Exercise Period following Termination. When a recipient’s employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its
Subsidiaries terminates, the recipient’s Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised within the period of time specified in the Award Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right, to the extent that the Stock Appreciation Right is
exercisable on the recipient’s Termination Date. In the absence of a specific period of time set forth in the Award Agreement a Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable (to the extent exercisable on the recipient’s Termination
Date): (i) for three (3) months following the Termination Date upon any termination other than for Disability or death; or (ii) for twelve (12) months following the Termination Date upon termination for Disability or death, or if
a recipient dies within three (3) months after his Termination Date; provided however that in no event shall any Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable after the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right. 

  
 10 

	Section 8.	Restricted Stock Awards 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock
Awards. A Restricted Stock Award is an Award entitling the recipient to acquire, at such purchase price (if any) as determined by the Administrator, shares of Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may
determine at the time of grant (“Restricted Stock”). Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The grant of a Restricted Stock
Award is contingent on the grantee executing the Restricted Stock Award agreement. The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and
grantees. 
 (b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon execution of a written instrument setting forth the Restricted Stock Award and
payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Stock, subject to any exceptions or conditions contained in the written instrument evidencing the Restricted
Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in Section 8(d) below, and the grantee
shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank. 
 (c)
Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award agreement. If a grantee’s employment (or
other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, the Company shall have the right to repurchase Restricted Stock that has not vested at the time of termination at its original purchase price, if any, from
the grantee or the grantee’s legal representative. Unless otherwise stated in the written instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Award, any Restricted Stock for which the grantee did not pay any purchase price and which is not vested at the
time of the grantee’s termination of employment (or other service relationship) shall automatically be forfeited immediately following such termination. 

(d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of
pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Stock and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment
of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Stock and shall be deemed “vested.” Except as may otherwise be provided by the
Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued, a grantee’s rights in any shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the
grantee’s termination of employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries and such shares shall be subject to forfeiture or the Company’s right of repurchase as provided in Section 8(c) above. 

  
 11 

 (e) Waiver, Deferral and Reinvestment of Dividends. The Restricted Stock Award
agreement may require or permit the immediate payment, waiver, deferral or investment of dividends paid on the Restricted Stock. 
  

	Section 9.	Restricted Stock Units  

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock
Units. A Restricted Stock Unit is a contract right representing the right to receive, upon its vesting, one share of Stock (or a percentage or multiple of one share of Stock if so specified in the Award Agreement evidencing the Award) for
each Restricted Stock Unit awarded to a grantee and represents an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Administrator shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant.
Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Administrator,
and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. At the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrator, in its discretion, may determine either at the time of grant or at the time of settlement, that a Restricted Stock Unit shall be settled in cash. To the extent that an award of Restricted Stock Units is subject to Section 409A,
it may contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order for such Award to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. 

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the
grantee upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the unissued shares of Stock underlying his Restricted Stock Units, subject to such terms and
conditions as the Administrator may determine. 
 (c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator
either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate immediately following the
grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 
  

	Section 10.	Unrestricted Stock Awards  

 (a) Grant or Sale of Unrestricted
Stock. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at a purchase price (determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any grantee, pursuant to which such grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any
restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due
to such participant.

	Section 11.	Performance Share Awards  

 (a) Nature of Performance Share
Awards. A Performance Share Award is an Award entitling the recipient to acquire shares of Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals; provided however that the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either at the time
of grant or at the time of settlement that a Performance Share Award will be settled in cash. The Administrator may make Performance Share Awards independent of or in connection with the granting of any other Award under the Plan. The Administrator
in its sole discretion shall determine whether and to whom Performance Share Awards shall be made, the performance goals, the periods during which performance is to be measured (which in the aggregate shall not be less than one (1) year), and
all other limitations and conditions. 
 (b) Restrictions of Transfer. Performance Share Awards, and all rights with respect to
such Awards, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered. 
 (c) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee
receiving a Performance Share Award shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares actually received by the grantee under the Plan and not with respect to shares subject to the Award but not actually received by the grantee. A grantee
shall be entitled to receive a stock certificate or book entry evidencing the acquisition of shares of Stock (unless the Administrator has provided for cash settlement) only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in the Performance Share
Award agreement (or in a performance plan adopted by the Administrator). 
 (d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided
by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Performance Share Awards shall automatically terminate immediately following the
grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 
  

	Section 12.	Cash Awards 

 The Administrator, in its discretion, may provide for cash
payments to be made under the Plan as a form of Award, and may provide for Cash Awards to be made to Covered Employees pursuant to Section 13 below. Such Cash Awards may be made subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the
Administrator considers necessary or advisable. 
  

	Section 13.	Performance-Based Awards to Covered Employees  

 (a) Performance-Based
Awards. A Performance-Based Award means any Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share Award or Cash Award granted to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under
Section 162(m) of the Code and any regulations appurtenant thereto. Any employee or other key person providing services to the Company and who is selected by the Administrator may be granted one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a
Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Share Award or Cash Award payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Administrator and related to one or more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on
a specified date or dates or over any period or 

  
 13 

 
periods determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for any Performance Period.
Depending on the Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall company performance or the performance of a division, business unit, or an individual. The Administrator, in
its discretion, may adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals for such Performance Period in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of an individual (i) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or
extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development, (ii) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or (iii) in
response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions provided however, that the Administrator may not exercise such discretion in a manner that would increase the
Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Employee. Each Performance-Based Award shall comply with the provisions set forth below. 
 (b)
Grant of Performance-Based Awards. With respect to each Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Administrator shall select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum
period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the Performance Criteria for such grant, and the Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no amount will become payable
with respect to such Award). Each Performance-Based Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount payable, upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The Performance Criteria established by the
Administrator may be (but need not be) different for each Performance Period and different Performance Goals may be applicable to Performance-Based Awards to different Covered Employees. 

(c) Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Administrator shall review and
certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, shall calculate and certify in writing the amount of the Performance-Based Awards earned for the Performance Period. The
Administrator shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee’s Performance-Based Award, and, in doing so, may reduce (but not increase) or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award for a Covered Employee if, in its sole
judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. 
 (d) Maximum Award Payable. The maximum Performance-Based Award
payable to any one Covered Employee under the Plan for any 12-month period that is included in a Performance Period is a number of shares of Stock equal to the Initial Limit, (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c) hereof) or two
million dollars ($2,000,000) in the case of a Performance-Based Award that is a Cash-Based Award.

  
 14 

	Section 14.	Dividend Equivalent Rights 

 (a) Dividend Equivalent Rights. A
Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash dividends that would be paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other award to which it relates) if such shares were
held by the recipient. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any participant, as a component of another Award or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the grant.
Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at
Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof,
in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such
other award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions
different from such other award. 
 (b) Interest Equivalents. Any Award under this Plan that is settled in whole or in part in
cash on a deferred basis may, but need not, provide in the grant for interest equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be specified
by the grant. 
  

	Section 15.	Tax Withholding  

 (a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall,
no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes taxable, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state,
local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due
to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver stock certificates to any grantee is subject to and is conditioned on tax obligations being satisfied by the grantee. 

(b) Payment in Stock. If provided in the instrument evidencing an Award, either the grantee or the Company may elect to have the
statutory minimum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) withholding from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the
withholding is effected) that would satisfy such withholding amount due, or (ii) allowing a grantee to transfer to the Company shares of Stock owned by the grantee with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected)
that would satisfy such withholding amount due. 
  

	Section 16.	Section 409A Awards  

 To the extent that any Award is determined to
constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be 

  
 15 

 
subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award
is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior
to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to
interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any 409A Award may not be accelerated or postponed except to the extent permitted by Section 409A. 

 

	Section 17.	Transfer, Leave Of Absence, Etc.  

 For purposes of the Plan, the following
events shall not be deemed a termination of employment: 
 (a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the
Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or 
 (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or
for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so
provides in writing. 
  

	Section 18.	Amendments and Termination 

 Subject to requirements of law or any stock
exchange or similar rules which would require a vote of the Company’s shareholders, the Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of
satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. If and to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the
Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or to ensure that compensation earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code,
if and to the extent intended to so qualify, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 18 shall limit the Administrator’s authority to
take any action permitted pursuant to Section 4(c). 
  

	Section 19.	Status of Plan  

 With respect to the portion of any Award that has not
been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in
connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder,
provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence. 

  
 16 

	Section 20.	Change in Control Provisions  

 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control as defined in this Section 20, the Administrator in its discretion may, at the time an Award is made or at any time thereafter, take one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time period relating
to the exercise or payment of the Award; (ii) provide for termination of any Awards not exercised prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control; provided that the holder of any such Award is given written notice of such prospective action by
the Administrator at least ten calendar days prior to the effective date of the Change in Control; (iii) provide for payment to the holder of the Award of cash or other property with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount that would have been
received upon the exercise or payment of the Award had the Award been exercised or paid upon the Change in Control in exchange for cancellation of the Award; (iv) adjust the terms of the Award in a manner determined by the Administrator to
reflect the Change in Control; (v) cause the Award to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity; or (vi) make such other provision as the Administrator may consider equitable to the holders of Awards and in the best
interests of the Company. 
 (b) “Change in Control” or “Change in Control of the Company” shall mean the occurrence of
any one of the following: 
 (i) Any “Person”, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act, other than the
Company or a Subsidiary, becomes a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3, as amended, as promulgated under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, of securities representing more than 50% of the
combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; 
 (ii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other Person, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
voting securities of the surviving entity), more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; 

(iii) The closing of a sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; 

(iv) Individuals who constitute the Board on the date hereof (“Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board; provided, that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the date hereof, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors shall be
treated as an Incumbent Director unless he or she assumed office as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors; or 

(v) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; 

  
 17 

 
provided, in each case, that such event also constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) if necessary to
avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A. 
  

	Section 21.	General Provisions 

 (a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal
Requirements. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. 

No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar
requirements, whether located in the United States or a foreign jurisdiction, have been satisfied. The Administrator may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it deems appropriate.

 No Award under the Plan shall be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, as defined in Code Section 409A, unless such Award meets
in form and in operation the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2),(3), and (4). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Plan, Awards may be made to an individual who is a foreign national or employed or performing services outside of the United States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as the Administrator
considers necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with applicable laws 
 (b) Delivery of Stock
Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to
the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. In lieu of delivery of stock certificates, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law and the Articles of Organization and by-laws of the Company, issue shares of
Stock hereunder in book entry form. 
 (c) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan
shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards
do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 (d) Trading Policy
Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to such company’s insider trading policy, as in effect from time to time. 

(e) Forfeiture of Awards under Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the
material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then, to the extent required by law, any grantee who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture
under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company for the amount of any Award received by such individual under the Plan 

  
 18 

 
during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying such
financial reporting requirement. 
 (f) Delivery and Execution of Electronic Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Company may (i) deliver by email or other electronic means (including posting on a web site maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company) all documents relating to the Plan and any Award thereunder
(including without limitation, prospectuses required by the SEC) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements) and (ii) permit
participants in the Plan to electronically execute applicable Plan documents (including but not limited to, Award Agreements) in a manner prescribed by the Administrator.

stockholders, Stock Options and other Awards may be granted hereunder on and after adoption of this Plan by the Board. 
  

	Section 23.	Governing Law

shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

Offering Period unless the Participant delivers to the Company a new payroll deduction authorization.

reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to such

 A Participant may file with the Company a written
designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Stock and/or cash under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s death whether subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to the issuance of shares, or in the
event of a Participant’s death prior to exercise of an option. Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary
validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver any such Stock and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant. 

 

	16.	Transferability 

 Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s account nor
any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such
attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect. 
  

	17.	Use of Funds 

 All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under this Plan may
be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. 
  

	18.	Effect of Changes in Stock 

 If the Company shall subdivide, combine or otherwise
reclassify the Stock which has been or may be optioned under this Plan, or shall declare thereon any dividend payable in shares of such Stock, or shall take any other action of a similar nature affecting such Stock, then the number and class of
shares of Stock which may thereafter be optioned (in the aggregate and to any Participant) shall be adjusted accordingly and in the case of each option outstanding at the time of any such action, the number and class of shares which may thereafter
be purchased pursuant to such option and the Option Price per share shall be adjusted to such extent as shall be determined by the Committee, with the approval of independent public accountants and counsel, to be necessary to preserve the rights of
the holder of such option. 
  

	19.	Merger or Consolidation 

 In the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.
In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”) which shall be prior to the date
of the proposed sale or merger. The Company shall notify each Participant, in writing, at least five days prior to the New Exercise Date, (i) that the Exercise Date has been changed to the New Exercise Date, and (ii) that the
Participant’s option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date unless the Participant withdraws from the Offering Period, pursuant to Section 10(a), prior to the New Exercise Date.

	20.	Amendment or Termination 

 The Board or the Committee may at any time terminate or amend
the Plan in any respect, except that any amendment to increase the aggregate number of shares reserved under the Plan (except pursuant to Section 18) shall require approval of the shareholders of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Board or the Committee may, at any time, terminate the Plan and refund (without interest) amounts in Participants’ accounts or shorten any ongoing or future Offering Period. 

 

	21.	No Right to Employment 

 Neither eligibility to participate in nor participation in the
Plan shall be deemed to create any right of continued employment or in any way affect the right of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary to terminate employment of any Employee. 

 

	22.	Notices 

 All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company pursuant to
the Plan shall be made on forms prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when received by the Company. 
  

	23.	Effective Date and Term of Plan 

 The Plan shall become effective when approved by the
shareholders of the Company. The Plan shall continue in effect for ten (10) years following the date of such approval, unless terminated earlier by the Board or the Committee. 

 

	24.	Conditions upon Issuance of Shares 

 Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option
unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may
then be listed. 
  

	25.	Governing Law 

 The Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable provisions of the Code.
