 2. Shelf Registration. 
 (a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a
Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared effective under the Securities Act no later than 180 calendar days following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) no Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration

take the form of an underwritten offering without the Company’s prior written agreement. 
 (b) The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts: 
 (i) to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order
to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders until the earliest of (1) the sale of all Registrable Securities registered under the Shelf Registration Statement; (2) the expiration of the period referred to in
Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, or any successor provision, with respect to all Registrable Securities held by Persons that are not Affiliates of the Company; and (3) two years from the date (the “Effective Date”) such Shelf

 (ii) after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, subject to
Section 3(a)(ii) hereof, promptly upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder (as defined herein) to take any action reasonably necessary to enable such Holder to use the Prospectus forming a
part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action necessary to identify such Holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that nothing in this

 The Company shall be deemed not to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if the Company voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any of such Registrable Securities
during that period, unless such action is (A) required by applicable law and the Company thereafter promptly complies with the requirements of paragraph 3(j) below or (B) permitted pursuant to Section 2(c) below. 
 (c) The Company may suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus, without incurring any obligation to pay Liquidated Damages,
for a period not to exceed 90 consecutive days or an aggregate of 120 days in any 12-month period (each, a “Suspension Period”) if the Company shall have determined in good faith that because of valid business reasons (not including
avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar events, it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend
such use, and prior to suspending such use the Company provides the Holders with written notice of such suspension, which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such suspension. 
 3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply:

 (a) (i) Not less than 30 calendar days prior to the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall mail the Notice
and Questionnaire to the Holders of Registrable Securities. No Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement as of the Effective Time, and no Holder shall be entitled to use the Prospectus
forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company by 
  

 5 

 the deadline for response set forth therein; provided, however, Holders of Registrable Securities shall have at
least 20 calendar days from the date on which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such Holders to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company. 
 (ii) After the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, promptly send a Notice and Questionnaire to such Holder. After the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall not be required to take any action to name such Holder as a
selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to enable such Holder to use the Prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities until such Holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to
the Company; provided, however, that from and after the beginning of the calendar quarter commencing after the twelve-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, in no event shall the Company be required to take any action to name any such
Holder(s) as selling securityholder(s) in the Shelf Registration Statement or to enable such Holder(s) to use the Prospectus forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement for resales of Registrable Securities (i) until such time as the
Company has received completed and signed Notices and Questionnaires with respect to at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities that were not Electing Holders at the Effective Time of the Registration Statement or
the last amendment thereto and (ii) more than once in any calendar quarter or during a Suspension Period. 
 (iii) Each
Electing Holder agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make information previously furnished to the Company by the Holder not materially misleading and any other information regarding such
Holder and the distribution of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. 
 (b) Unless such document is available on the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system of the Commission (“EDGAR”), the Company shall furnish to each Electing Holder upon request, prior to the Effective Time, a
conformed copy of the Shelf Registration Statement initially filed with the Commission, and shall furnish to such Holders upon request, promptly after the filing thereof with the Commission, conformed copies of each amendment thereto and each
amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, at the Effective Time or when so filed with the Commission, as the case may be, such comments as
such Holders and their respective counsel reasonably may propose. 
 (c) The Company shall promptly take such action as may be necessary so
that (i) each of the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and the Prospectus forming a part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto (and each report or other document incorporated therein by reference in each case)
complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) each of the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it 
  

 6 

 becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) each of the Prospectus forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, does not at any time during the
Effectiveness Period include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to take such action in respect of the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus if the Company has made a
determination pursuant to Section 2(c) for so long as suspension is continuing. 
 (d) The Company shall promptly advise each
Electing Holder, and shall confirm such advice in writing if so requested by any such Electing Holder: 
 (i) when a Shelf
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has become effective, and in the case of effectiveness of the initial Shelf Registration Statement (not including any post-effective amendments thereto) making a public announcement thereof by release
made to Reuters Economic Services and Bloomberg Business News; 
 (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; 
 (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for
such purpose; and 
 (iv) of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any state of facts that requires the making of
any changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (which advice shall be accompanied by an instruction to such
Holders to suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); provided, however, that no notice by the Company shall be required pursuant to this clause (iv) in the event
that the Company either promptly files a Prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other appropriate report that is incorporated by reference into the Shelf Registration Statement, which, in either case, contains the requisite
information that results in such Shelf Registration Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading). 
  

 7 

 (e) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance, and if issued to
obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or, if any such order or suspension is made effective during or results in any Suspension Period, at the earliest
practicable moment after the end of such Suspension Period. 
 (f) The Company shall furnish to each Electing Holder, upon written request of
such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and all post-effective amendments thereto, and, if such documents are not available on EDGAR, all reports, schedules, other documents and exhibits that are
filed with or incorporated by reference in the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (g) The Company shall, during the Effectiveness Period,
deliver to each Electing Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Electing Holder may reasonably
request in writing; and the Company consents (except during the periods specified in Section 2(c) above or during the continuance of any event or the existence of any state of facts described in Section 3(d)(ii), (iii) or
(iv) above) to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Electing Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto during the Effectiveness Period. 
 (h) Prior to any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify or cooperate with the Electing Holders and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for
offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Electing Holder may reasonably request in writing, (ii) keep such registrations or qualifications in effect and comply with
such laws so as to permit the continuance of offers and sales in such jurisdictions for so long as may be necessary to enable any Electing Holder or underwriter, if any, to complete its distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement, and (iii) take any and all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Company be obligated to (A) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify but for this Section 3(h), (B) file any general consent to service of
process in any jurisdiction where it is not as of the date hereof so subject or (C) take any action which would subject it to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (i) Unless any Registrable Securities shall be in book-entry or global certificate only form, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cooperate with the Electing Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, which certificates, if so required by any
securities exchange upon which any Registrable Securities are listed, shall be penned, lithographed or engraved, or produced by any combination of such methods, on steel engraved borders, and which certificates shall be free of any restrictive
legends and in such permitted denominations and registered in such names as Electing Holders may request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  

 8 

 (j) Upon the occurrence of any event or the existence of any state of facts contemplated by paragraph
3(d)(iv) above, the Company shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to any Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to
purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take such action in respect of the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or of the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement to the Prospectus if the Company has made a determination pursuant to Section 2(c) for so long as suspension is continuing. If the Company notifies the Electing Holders of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any state of
facts contemplated by Section 2(c) or paragraph 3(d)(iv) above, such Electing Holder shall suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been made and shall keep

 (m) Not later than the Effective Time of the
Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; in connection with such qualification, the Company shall cooperate with the Trustee under
the Indenture and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and the Company shall execute, and
shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a
timely manner. In the event that any such amendment or modification referred to in this Section 3(m) involves the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Indenture.

officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by such Electing Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as is customary for

confidential shall be kept confidential by such Electing Holders and any such underwriter, attorney or accountant, unless such disclosure is required to be made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such records, information
or documents become available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality, (y) they shall use such records, information and documents solely for the purposes of exercising rights under
this Agreement and they shall not engage in trading any securities of the Company until the Company makes such material non-public information publicly available; and provided further that, if the foregoing inspection and information

 10

 (iii)
in connection with any underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof to which the Company has agreed, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain opinions and letters of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions
(in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters) addressed to each Electing Holder participating in such underwritten offering and the underwriters, covering such matters as are customarily covered in
opinions requested in primary underwritten offerings of equity and convertible debt securities and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Managing Underwriters (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinions and
letters shall include, without limitation, a statement by such counsel that nothing came to the attention of such counsel in the course of their review of the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by
reference therein (other than the financial statements or other financial data therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion or belief) that has caused such counsel to believe that, as of the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration
Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the Shelf Registration Statement or such post-effective amendment contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be
stated therein necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (iv) in connection with any underwritten
offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof to which the Company has agreed, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent public accountants of the Company (and,
if necessary, from the independent public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Shelf Registration
Statement), addressed to each Electing Holder participating in such underwritten offering (if such Electing Holder has provided such letter, representations or documentation, if any, required for such cold comfort letter to be so addressed) and the
underwriters, such letters substantially in the form and covering the matters covered in the comfort letter delivered on the Closing Date; 
 (v) in connection with any underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof to which the Company has agreed, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Electing
Holders participating in such underwritten offering that hold a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold in such offering and the Managing Underwriters, if any, including, without limitation, certificates to evidence
compliance with Section 3(j) hereof and with any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreements entered into by the Company. 
  

 11 

 (q) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or other stock exchange or trading system on which the Common Stock primarily trades on or prior to the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement hereunder.

 (r) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall be an “affiliate” (as defined in
Rule 2720(b)(1) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision thereto)) of the Company or has a “conflict of interest” (as defined in Rule 2720(b)(7) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision thereto)) and such broker-dealer
shall underwrite, participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or assist in the distribution of any Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Company
shall assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of the NASD Rules, including, without limitation, by (A) engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720(b)(15) of the NASD Rules (or any
successor provision thereto)) to participate in the preparation of the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and to recommend the public offering price of such
Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof, and (C) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be
required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the NASD Rules. 
 (s) The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration, offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 6 hereof and shall bear or reimburse the Electing Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed $25,000, of a single counsel for Electing Holders, which counsel shall be selected by the Electing

Securities Act or Section 20 
  

 12 

 of the Exchange Act (each such person being sometimes referred to as an “Indemnified Person”) against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or any Prospectus contained therein
or furnished by the Company to any Indemnified Person, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses
are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified
Person expressly for use therein; and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 5 to the extent that it shall have been established that the sale or transfer giving rise to such loss, claim, damage
or liability shall have occurred during a Suspension Period. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Electing Holders. Each Electing Holder
agrees, as a consequence of the inclusion of any of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each other Electing Holder and each of their respective
directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any such other Electing Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Electing Holder expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company and any such other persons for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. 
 (c) Indemnification by Underwriters. Each Electing Holder agrees, as a consequence of the participation of any underwriter in an offering of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration Statement, that
such underwriter shall agree, and each underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional, if any, which facilitates the 
  

 13 

 disposition of Registrable Securities shall agree, as a consequence of facilitating such disposition of Registrable
Securities, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Electing Holder, and their respective directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any such Election Holder within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, or
any amendment or supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such underwriter, selling
agent or other securities professional expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company and such other persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim as such expenses are incurred. 
 (d) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection
(a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify such indemnifying party in writing
of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by subsection
(a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to
the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified
party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 5 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party
shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party
from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in 
  

 14 

 respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Electing Holders or any underwriters, selling agents or other securities professionals or all of
them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The obligations of the Electing Holders and any underwriters, selling agents or other securities professionals in this Section 5(e) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the percentage of principal amount of
Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 5, in no event will any (i) Electing Holder be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 5 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Holder from the sale
of such Holder’s Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act
and (ii) underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional be required to undertake liability to any person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter, selling
agent or other securities professional with respect to the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. 
 (g)
The obligations of the Company under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5 shall be in
addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified
party at law or in equity. 
  

 15 

 6. Underwritten Offering. Upon receipt of the Company’s prior written consent, any Holder of Registrable
Securities who desires to do so may sell Registrable Securities (in whole or in part) in an underwritten offering; provided that (i) the Electing Holders of at least 33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities then covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall request such an offering and (ii) at least such
aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Securities shall be included in such offering. Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall provide all Holders of Registrable Securities written notice of the request, which notice shall inform
such Holders that they have the opportunity to participate in the offering. In any such underwritten offering, the investment banker or bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by, and the underwriting
arrangements with respect thereto (including the size of the offering) will be approved by, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment bankers and
managers and underwriting arrangements must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Holder may participate in any underwritten offering contemplated hereby unless (a) such Holder agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities to
be included in the underwritten offering in accordance with any approved underwriting arrangements, (b) such Holder completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters
and other documents required under the terms of such approved underwriting arrangements, and (c) if such Holder is not then an Electing Holder, such Holder returns a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance
with Section 3(a)(ii) hereof within a reasonable amount of time before such underwritten offering. The Holders participating in any underwritten offering shall be responsible for any underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and, subject
to Section 4 hereof, expenses of their own counsel. The Company shall pay all expenses customarily borne by issuers in an underwritten offering, including but not limited to filing fees, the fees and disbursements of its counsel and independent
public accountants and any printing expenses incurred in connection with such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 3(n) hereof, upon receipt of a request from the Managing Underwriter or a
representative of holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in an underwritten offering to prepare and file an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus in connection with an underwritten
offering, the Company may delay the filing of any such amendment or supplement for up to 90 days if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that the Company has a bona fide business reason for such delay. For the
avoidance of doubt, the determination by the Company to consent to an underwritten offering shall be in the Company’s sole discretion. 
 7.
Liquidated Damages. 
 (a) If, on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date, a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission (each, a “Registration Default”), the
Company shall be required to pay liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) at a rate per annum equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount of Registrable Securities then remaining from and including the day
following such Registration Default until the earlier of (1) the time such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective or (2) the expiration of the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, no Liquidated Damages shall accrue
under this Section 7(a) during any Suspension Period. 
  

 16 

 (b) In the event that (i) the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective, (ii) the
Company suspends the use of the Prospectus pursuant to Section 2(c) or 3(j) hereof, (iii) the Holders are not authorized to use the Prospectus pursuant to Section 3(g) hereto or (iv) the Holders are otherwise prevented or
restricted by the Company from effecting sales pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (an “Effective Failure”) for more than 90 consecutive days or for more than 120 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 12-month period, then
the Company shall pay Liquidated Damages at a rate per annum equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount of Registrable Securities then remaining from such 91st consecutive day or the 121st day of the applicable 12-month period, as the case may be, that such failure has existed until the earlier of (1) the time the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective or the Holders of Registrable Securities are
again able to make sales under the Shelf Registration Statement or (2) the expiration of the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, no Liquidated Damages shall accrue under this Section 7(b) (A) with respect to the
Registrable Securities of any Holder that is not an Electing Holder or (B) during any Suspension Period. 
 (c) Any amounts to be paid
as Liquidated Damages pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 7 shall be paid in cash semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture), as
applicable, following the date of such Registration Default or Effective Failure, as applicable. Such Liquidated Damages will accrue (1) in respect of the applicable Registrable Securities at the rates set forth in paragraphs (a) or
(b) of this Section 7, as applicable, on the principal amount of such Registrable Securities. Liquidated Damages shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed in each 90-day period in which the Shelf Registration Statement
is not effective or is unusable. 
 (d) Except as provided in Section 8(b) hereof, the Liquidated Damages as set forth in this
Section 7 shall be the exclusive monetary remedy available to the Holders of Registrable Securities for such Registration Default or Effective Failure. In no event shall the amount of Liquidated Damages that the Company is required to pay
exceed the amount of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) in the aggregate, regardless of whether one or multiple Registration Defaults or Effective Failures exist. In addition, in no event shall the amount of Liquidated Damages plus any special
interest accruing pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Indenture that the Company is required to pay exceed the amount of one-half of one percent (0.50%) in the aggregate, regardless of whether one or multiple Registration Defaults or Effective
Failures exist. 
 (e) In no event shall Holders who have converted Securities into Common Stock be entitled to receive any Liquidated
Damages with respect to such Common Stock or the issue price of the Securities converted. 
 8. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Other Registration Rights. The Company may grant registration rights that would permit any person that is a third party the right to piggy-back
on any Shelf Registration Statement, provided that if the Managing Underwriter of any underwritten offering conducted 
  

 17 

 pursuant to Section 6 hereof notifies the Company and the Electing Holders that the total amount of securities which
the Electing Holders and the holders of such piggy-back rights intend to include in any Shelf Registration Statement is so large as to materially threaten the success of such offering (including the price at which such securities can be sold), then
the amount, number or kind of securities to be offered for the account of holders of such piggy-back rights will be reduced to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount, number and
kind recommended by the Managing Underwriter prior to any reduction in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (b) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there may be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the Holders from
time to time may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such Holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity and without limiting the remedies available to
the Electing Holders under Section 7 hereof, may be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Registration Rights
Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction. 
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement,
including this Section 8(c), may be amended, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, only by a written instrument duly executed by the Company and the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
Registrable Securities then outstanding. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this
Section 8(c), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, waiver or consent appears on the Securities or is delivered to such Holder. 
 (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be given as provided in the Indenture; provided, that, the Company may deliver notices and other communications
provided for or permitted hereunder to any Electing Holder to its address as set forth in its Notice and Questionnaire. 
 (e) Parties in
Interest. The parties to this Agreement intend that all Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this Agreement and that any Electing Holder shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
reason of such election with respect to the Registrable Securities which are included in a Shelf Registration Statement. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by
the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and any Holder from time to time of the Registrable Securities to the aforesaid extent. In the event that any transferee of any Holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable
Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be entitled to receive the benefits of and, if an Electing Holder, be
conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the aforesaid extent. 
  

 18 

 (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. 
 (i) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application
thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any
way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 (j) Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other provisions set forth in this Agreement or made
pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Electing Holder, any director, officer or partner of such Holder, any agent or
underwriter, any director, officer or partner of such agent or underwriter, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive the transfer and registration of the Registrable Securities of such Holder.

 APPENDIX A TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 EMC CORPORATION 
 FORM OF NOTICE OF
REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDER 
 ELECTION AND QUESTIONNAIRE 
 EMC Corporation (the “Company”) has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration
statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes
due 2011 and 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (collectively, the “Securities”) and the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued upon conversion thereof, in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2006 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company and the purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”). A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is
available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 In order to have Registrable Securities (as defined below) included in the Shelf Registration Statement (or a prospectus supplement or amendment
thereto), this Notice of Registration Statement and Selling Securityholder Election and Questionnaire (“Election and Questionnaire”) must be completed, executed and delivered to the Company at the address set forth below for receipt ON OR
BEFORE [DEADLINE FOR RESPONSE]. Beneficial owners of the Registrable Securities who do not complete, execute and return this Election and Questionnaire by such date (i) will not be named as selling securityholders in the Shelf Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus and (ii) may not use the Prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities. 
 Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own
securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. 
 The term “Registrable Securities” is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement and this Election and Questionnaire to mean all or any
portion of the Securities issued on November 17, 2006 under the Indenture in registered form and the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Securities; provided, however, that a security ceases to be a Registrable Security when
it is no longer a Restricted Security. 
 The term “Restricted Security” is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement and this
Election and Questionnaire to mean any Security or share of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof except any such Security or share of Common Stock which (i) has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold in a manner
contemplated by the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) has been transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or is transferable pursuant to paragraph (k) of such Rule 144 (or any
successor provision thereto), or (iii) has otherwise been transferred and a new Security or share of Common Stock not subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act has been delivered by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with
Section 3.5 of the Indenture.

 ELECTION 
 The undersigned holder (the “Selling Securityholder”) of Registrable Securities hereby elects to include in the Shelf Registration Statement the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it and listed
below in Item (3). The undersigned Selling Securityholder, by signing and returning this Election and Questionnaire, agrees to be bound with respect to such Registrable Securities by the terms and conditions of this Election and Questionnaire and
the Registration Rights Agreement (as a Holder and an Electing Holder thereunder), as if the undersigned Selling Securityholder were an original party thereto. 
 Pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement, the undersigned has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other selling Securityholder, from and against certain losses arising in connection with statements concerning the undersigned made in
the Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus in reliance upon the information provided in this Election and Questionnaire. 
 Upon any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Selling Securityholder will be required to deliver to the Company and the Trustee the Notice of Transfer (completed and signed) set forth in Exhibit 1

	(9)	  	Short sales and plan of distribution:
		
		  	The Commission has published the following guidance in connection with short sales (Telephone Interp. A. 65 (July 1997)):
		
		  	“An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of Common Stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale
of Common Stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the
shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

		 	The undersigned Selling Securityholder represents and agrees that the distribution of Securities and shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement will conform with this interpretative guidance.

		 	The undersigned Selling Securityholder represents and agrees that short positions taken prior to the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement will only be covered with
shares of the Company’s Common Stock purchased in the open market and will not be covered with shares of the Company’s Common Stock obtained upon conversion of the Securities.
		
	(10)	 	Plan of Distribution:
		
		 	Except as set forth below, the undersigned Selling Securityholder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities listed above in Item (3) only as follows (if at all): Such
Registrable Securities may be sold from time to time directly by the undersigned Selling Securityholder or, alternatively, through broker-dealers or agents. Such Registrable Securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at
prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be effected in transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on any national securities
exchanges or U.S. quotation system of a registered national securities association on which the Registrable Securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, (ii) in the over-the-counter market, (iii) in transactions otherwise than on such
exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market, or (iv) through the writing of options. In connection with sales of the Registrable Securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the Registrable Securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Securityholder may also sell Registrable Securities short and deliver Registrable Securities to close out such
short positions, or loan or pledge Registrable Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such securities.
		
		 	State any exceptions here:
		 		  	                                      
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                       
 
		
		 	Note: In no event may such method(s) of distribution take the form of an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities without the prior written agreement of the
Company.

 Ex-1Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 4.1 
 TRIMERIS, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 (formerly, the Trimeris, Inc. New Stock Option Plan) 
 1. Purpose  
 The Trimeris, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (formerly, the Trimeris, Inc. New Stock Option
Plan) (the “Plan”) is established to advance the interests of the Company’s stockholders by creating an incentive for, and enhancing the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate, key employees, directors and consultants
or advisors of Trimeris, Inc. and any successor corporations thereto (collectively, the “Company”) or future parent and/or subsidiary corporations of such corporation (as defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”)) (all of whom, along with the Company, sometimes being individually referred to as a “Participating Company” and collectively referred to as the
“Participating Company Group”) by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives and thereby better aligning the interests of such persons with those of the Company’s stockholders.

 2. Eligibility  
 All
of the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards (each, an “Award”) under the Plan. Any person who has been granted an Award
under the Plan shall be deemed a “Participant.” The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its sole discretion, shall determine which persons shall be granted Awards under the Plan. A director of the Company shall be
eligible to be granted an Incentive Stock Option (as hereinafter defined) only if the director is also an employee of the Company. A consultant or advisor to the Company or a non-employee director of the Company shall be eligible to be granted only
Awards other than Incentive Stock Options. Participants may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) relating to adjustments upon changes in stock, no person shall be eligible to be granted
options or restricted stock covering more than five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock in any calendar year. 
 3. Administration; Delegation  
 (a) Administration by Board. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board
shall have authority to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable from time to time. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. No member of the Board shall be liable for any
action or determination relating to the Plan. All decisions by the Board shall be made in the Board’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award. No director or
person acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board shall be liable for any action or determination under the Plan made in good faith. 
 (b) Delegation to Executive Officers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate to one or more executive officers of the Company the power to make Awards and exercise such other powers under the Plan as the
Board may determine, provided that the Board shall fix the maximum number of shares subject to Awards and the maximum number of shares for any one Participant to be made by such executive officers. 
 (c) Appointment of Committees. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or
more committees or subcommittees of the Board (each, a “Committee”). For so long as the common stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”), the Board shall appoint one such Committee of not less than two members, each member of which shall be a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. All references in the
Plan to the “Board” shall mean a Committee or the Board or the executive officer referred to in Section 3(b) to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee or executive
officer. 
 4. Stock Available For Awards  
 (a) Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Section 4(b), Awards may be made under the Plan for up to a maximum of Six Million Two-Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Nine-Hundred and Forty-One
(6,252,941) shares of Common Stock, any or all of which can be used for Incentive Stock Options. If any Award expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part or results
in any Common Stock not being issued, the unused Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan, subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, to any limitation required under the Code.
Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. 

 (b) Adjustments to Common Stock. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than a normal cash dividend,
(i) the number and class of securities available under this Plan, (ii) the number and class of security and exercise price per share subject to each outstanding Option (as defined below), (iii) the repurchase price per security
subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award (as defined below), and (iv) the terms of each other outstanding stock-based Award, if any, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) to
the extent the Board shall determine, in good faith, that such an adjustment (or substitution) is necessary and appropriate. If this Section 4(b) applies and Section 9(a) also applies to any event, Section 9(a) shall be applicable to
such event, and this Section 4(b) shall not be applicable. 
 5. Stock Options  
 (a) General. The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the number of shares of Common Stock
to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as it considers necessary or
advisable. Any Option granted to a Participant who is subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall not become exercisable for a period of at least six (6) months following the date of grant. An Option which is not
intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be designated a “Nonstatutory Stock Option.” The granting of discounted Nonstatutory Stock Options is expressly prohibited under this Plan. 
 (b) Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Board intends to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the
Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) shall only be granted to employees of the Company and shall be subject to and construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The Company shall have no liability to a
Participant who has been awarded an Option (an “Optionee”), or any other party, if an Option (or any part thereof) which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option. 
 (c) Exercise Price. The Board shall establish, in its sole discretion, the exercise price at the time each Option is granted and specify it in the
applicable option agreement; provided, however, that (i) the exercise price per share for an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option, as
determined by the Board in good faith (the “Fair Market Value”), and (ii) the exercise price per share of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted owns stock possessing
more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of a Participating Company within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code (a “Ten Percent Owner Optionee”) shall be not less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value. Nothing hereinabove shall require that any such assumption or modification result in the Option having the same characteristics, attributes or tax treatment as the Option for which it is
substituted. 
 (d) $100,000 Limitation. The aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date on which an Incentive Stock Option
is granted, of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options (determined without regard to this subsection) are first exercisable during any calendar year (under this Plan or under any other plan of the Participating
Company Group) by any Optionee shall not exceed $100,000. If such limitation would be exceeded with respect to an Optionee for a calendar year, the Incentive Stock Option shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Stock Option to the extent of such excess.

 (e) Time for Granting Incentive Stock Options. All Incentive Stock Options must be granted, if at all, within ten (10) years
from the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date the Plan is duly approved by the stockholders of the Company. 
 (f) Duration of Options. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable option agreement; provided, however, that (i) no Incentive Stock Option
shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted, (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the expiration of five
(5) years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted and (iii) no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the date the Optionee’s employment with the Participating Company Group is terminated for cause (as
determined in the sole discretion of the Board); and provided, further, that an Option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable no later than three (3) months after the date on which the Optionee terminates employment with the Participating
Company Group, unless Optionee’s employment with the Participating Company Group shall have terminated as a result of the Optionee’s death, disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or Retirement (as defined
herein). In the event the Optionee’s employment with the Participating Company Group shall have terminated due to Optionee’s disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option shall immediately cease to vest
and unvested portions shall expire immediately, while vested portions shall remain exercisable until the Option terminates, but no later than twelve (12) months from the date on which the Optionee’s employment terminated. In the event the
Optionee’s employment with the Participating Company Group shall have terminated due to Optionee’s death, the Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable and remain exercisable until the Option shall terminate no later than
twelve (12) months from the date on which the Optionee’s employment terminated. In the event the Optionee’s employment with the Participating Company Group shall have terminated due to Optionee’s Retirement, the Option (if
granted on or after November 28, 2001) shall immediately cease to vest and unvested portions shall expire immediately, while vested 

 portions shall remain exercisable until the expiration of ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted,
except as provided in Section 9. 
 For the purposes of this Plan, “Retirement” shall be defined as departing employment and
the Participating Company Group’s Board of Directors after attaining the minimum age of 60 years and completing (i) a minimum of ten (10) years of full-time service as an employee of the Participating Company Group or (ii) a
minimum of ten (10) years of full-time service, of which (I) at least five (5) years of full time service were as an employee of the Participating Company Group and (II) the remaining years were either from full time service as such
an employee or years of service (other than while employed by the Participating Company Group) on the Participating Company Group’s Board of Directors. 
 (g) Exercise of Options. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person together with payment in full as specified in Sections 5(c) and 5(f)
for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised. 
 (h) Payment Upon Exercise. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of
an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows: 
 (1) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company; 
 (2) except as the Board may otherwise provide in an option agreement, by delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy
broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by the Optionee to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash
or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; 
 (3) to the extent permitted by the Board and expressly provided in an option agreement,
(i) by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee valued at their Fair Market Value, which Common Stock was owned by the Optionee at least six (6) months prior to such delivery, or (ii) by payment of such other lawful
consideration as the Board may determine; or 
 (4) any combination of the above permitted forms of payment. 
 The Company shall not extend credit to or otherwise accept any promissory note of any Optionee in connection with the purchase of Common Stock upon the exercise of an
Option granted under the Plan. 
 6. Restricted Stock 
 (a) Grants. The Board may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated
or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or
periods established by the Board for such Award, and subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board shall determine (each, a “Restricted Stock Award”). 
 (b) Terms and Conditions. The Board shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Restricted Stock Award, including the duration of restrictions, conditions for repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue
price, if any; provided, however, that any Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant who is subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall restrict the release of shares under the Restricted Stock Award for a period of
at least six (6) months from the date of grant. Any stock certificates issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the name of the Participant and held in escrow by the Company, together with a stock power endorsed in
blank, with the Company (or its designee). At the expiration of the applicable restriction periods, the Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions to the Participant or if the Participant has
died, to the beneficiary designated, in a manner determined by the Board, by a Participant to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death (the “Designated Beneficiary”). In the
absence of an effective designation by a Participant, Designated Beneficiary shall mean the Participant’s estate. 
 7. Other Stock-based Awards

 The Board shall have the right to grant other Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board may
determine, including the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock and the grant of stock appreciation rights. 
 8. General Provisions Applicable to Awards 
 (a) Transferability of Awards. Except as the Board
may otherwise determine or provide in an Award, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees. 

 (b) Documentation. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument in such
form as the Board shall determine. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan. 
 (c) Board
Discretion. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each type of Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other type of Award. The terms of each type of Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants
uniformly. 
 (d) Termination of Status. The Board shall determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement,
authorized leave of absence or other change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated
Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award. 
 (e) Withholding. Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provision
satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with Awards to such Participant no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Board may allow Participants to satisfy such tax
obligations in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value. The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from
any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant. 
 (f) Amendment of Award. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same of a different type, changing the date or exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, provided
that the Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Board of Directors may not change the exercise price of any Incentive Stock Option or Nonstatutory Stock Option previously granted except pursuant to Section 9 and Section 4(b) of the Plan and Section 424(a) of the
Code. 
 (g) Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other
legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has
executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. 
 9. Acquisition Events 
 (a) Consequences of Acquisition Events. Except to the extent otherwise
provided in the instrument evidencing the Award or in any other agreement between the Participant and the Company: 
 (i) Upon the occurrence
of an Acquisition Event (as hereinafter defined), 
 (A) all Restricted Stock Awards then outstanding shall become fully vested and
immediately free of all restrictions; and 
 (B) all other stock-based Awards other than Options and stock appreciation rights shall become
immediately exercisable, realizable or vested in full, or shall be immediately free of all restrictions or conditions, as the case may be. 
 (ii) Upon the execution by the Company of an agreement to effect an Acquisition Event other than a Change of Control Event (as hereinafter defined), all Options and stock appreciation rights then outstanding shall become fully vested and
immediately exercisable in full upon the occurrence of the Acquisition Event or such earlier date as may be specified by the Board by written notice to the Participants, and the Board may take one or both of the following additional actions with
respect to then outstanding Options and stock appreciation rights: (A) provide that such Options and stock appreciation rights shall be assumed, or equivalent Options or stock appreciation rights be substituted by the acquiring or succeeding
corporation (or an affiliate thereof), or (B) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all then unexercised Options and stock appreciation rights will terminate to the extent not exercised by the Participants prior to the
consummation of such Acquisition Event or such earlier date as may be specified by the Board by written notice to Participants. 
 (iii)
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, all Options and stock appreciation rights then outstanding shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable in full. 
 As used herein, an “Acquisition Event” shall mean: (a) any merger or consolidation which results in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto representing (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 60% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company
or 

 such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; (b) any sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (c) the complete liquidation of the Company; or (d) the acquisition of “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company
representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (other than through a merger or consolidation or an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) by any “person,” as such term
is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders
of the Company (an event specified in this clause (d) being referred to as a “Change of Control Event”). 
 (b) Assumption
of Options Upon Certain Events. The Board may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees of another corporation who become employees of the Company as a result of a merger or consolidation of
the employing corporation with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of the employing corporation. The substitute Awards shall be granted on such terms and conditions as the Board considers appropriate in the
circumstances. 
 10. Miscellaneous 
 (a)
No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with
the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Award.

 (b) No Rights as Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall
have any right as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares. 
 (c) Status of Rights to Payments under Plan. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall, except as otherwise provided by the Board, be
no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall
be made to assure payment of such amounts, except as otherwise provided by the Committee. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Optionee any rights that are greater
than those of a general creditor of the Company. 
 (d) Subject to Law. The Plan and the grant of Awards hereunder shall be subject to
all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations and to such approvals by any United States government or regulatory agency as may be required. 
 (e) Severability. If any provision of this Plan or an option agreement is or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any agreement evidencing
an Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering
the intent of the Plan or the agreement, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan or the agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (f) Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the date on which it is adopted by the Board, but no Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee shall be effective unless and until the Plan has been approved
by the Company’s stockholders. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten years from the earlier of (i) the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board or (ii) the date the Plan was approved by the
Company’s stockholders, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date. 
 (g) Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend,
suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, provided that no increase in the total number of shares available for Awards under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Section 4(b) above) or for grants of
Incentive Stock Options under the Plan may be made, unless and until such amendment shall have been approved by the Company’s stockholders. 
 (h) Stockholder Approval. For purposes of this Plan, stockholder approval shall mean approval by a vote of the stockholders in accordance with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. 
 (i) Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law. 
 As amended, adopted by the Board of Directors
on April 21, 2006 and approved by shareholders on July 13, 2006.
