ENGAGEMENT; ACCEPTANCE 

Section 2.01 Engagement; Acceptance. 

The Issuer hereby engages Clayton to act as the Asset Representations Reviewer for the Issuer. Clayton hereby accepts the engagement and agrees
to perform the obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer on the terms stated in this Agreement. 
 Section 2.02 Eligibility
of Asset Representations Reviewer. 
 Clayton represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Sponsor that it is an Eligible Asset
Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Issuer, the Sponsor and the Servicer promptly if it is not, or on the occurrence of any action that would result in it not being, an Eligible Asset Representations
Reviewer. 
 Section 2.03 Independence of the Asset Representations Reviewer. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will be an independent contractor and will not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee for the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, the Asset Representations Reviewer

ARTICLE III. 
 DUTIES OF
THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER 
 Section 3.01 Review Scope. 

The parties confirm that the Asset Representations Review is not responsible for (a) reviewing the Receivables for compliance with the
representations and warranties under the Transaction Documents, except as described in this Agreement or (b) determining whether noncompliance with the representations and warranties constitutes a breach of the Eligibility Representations. For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that the review is not designed to determine why an Obligor is delinquent or the creditworthiness of the Obligor, either at the time of any Asset Review or at the time of origination of the related
Receivable. Further, the Asset Review is not designed to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any Test Fail (as defined in Section 3.05). 

  
 3 

 Section 3.02 Review Notices. 

Upon receipt of (i) a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 7.6(b) of the Indenture and
(ii) the Review Materials in accordance with Section 3.03 of this Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to begin, and may not begin, an
Asset Review until the Asset Representations Reviewer receives a Review Notice. Within ten Business Days of receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer shall provide the list of Subject Receivables to the Asset Representations Reviewer in the format
selected by the Servicer to the address specified in Section 9.02. 
 None of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Sponsor nor the
Asset Representations Reviewer is obligated to verify whether the Indenture Trustee properly determined that a Review Notice was required. None or the Issuer, the Sponsor nor the Asset Representations Reviewer is obligated to verify the accuracy or
completeness of the list of Subject Receivables provided by the Servicer. 
 Section 3.03 Review Materials. 

The Servicer will provide reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the Asset Review. Within 60 days of receipt
by the Servicer of the Review Notice, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with the Review Materials for all Subject Receivables in one or more of the following ways, as elected by the Servicer: (i) by providing access
to the Servicer’s receivables system, either remotely or at one or more of the properties of the Servicer; (ii) by electronic posting of Review Materials to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has
access; (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at one or more of the properties of the Servicer where the Receivables Files are located; (iv) by sending originals or photocopies of Review Materials to the Asset Representations
Reviewer at the address specified in Section 9.02; or (v) in another manner agreed to by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review
Materials so long as such redaction or removal does not result in a change in the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for any failure of the Review Materials to be accurate and
complete, including any failure that results in the Review Materials being misleading in any material respect. 
 Section 3.04
Missing or Incomplete Review Materials. 
 The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Tests for each Eligible Representation
only using documentation that is made available. Upon receipt of the Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will complete an initial document inventory to verify there are no systemic documentation errors, including but not limited to
consistently missing or incomplete information in each Subject Receivable File. Once the Asset Representations Reviewer has confirmed the majority of the Review Materials have been provided in accordance with Section 3.03, the Asset
Representations Reviewer will commence the Asset Review. In instances where Review Material is not accessible, clearly unidentifiable, and/or illegible, the Asset Representations Reviewer will request that the Servicer (with a copy to the Sponsor)
provide an updated copy of such Review Material. If the Servicer and the 

  
 4 

 
Sponsor have not provided the missing Review Material for a Subject Receivable to the Asset Representations Reviewer within 60 days of notification by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the
parties agree that such Subject Receivable will have a Test Incomplete for the related Test(s) and the Review Report will indicate the reason for the Test Incomplete. 

Section 3.05 The Asset Representations Review. 

For an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform the applicable procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit A for
each Eligibility Representation. In the course of its review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will use the Review Materials listed in Exhibit A. For each Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a
“Test Pass”), if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or if the Test could not be concluded as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials (a “Test Incomplete”). 

If a Subject Receivable was included in a prior Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not conduct additional Tests on any such
duplicate Subject Receivable unless such Subject Receivable was deemed a Test Incomplete as a result of the failure of the Servicer and the Sponsor to provide missing Review Material for such Subject Receivable and the Sponsor elects to have such
Subject Receivable included in the current Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will include the previously reported Test results for any such duplicate Subject Receivable within the Review Report for the current Asset Review. 

Section 3.06 Review Period. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review within 60 days of receiving access to the Review Materials in accordance with
Section 3.03 (such time period, the “Review Period”); provided, that if additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.04, the Review Period
will be extended for an additional 30 days. 
 Section 3.07 Review Report. 

Within five Business Days following the applicable Review Period described in Section 3.06, the Asset Representations Reviewer will
provide the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer and Indenture Trustee with (i) a report (a “Review Report”) specifying for each Subject Receivable whether there was a Test Pass, a Test Fail, a Test Incomplete (as contemplated by
Section 3.05) or a Test Complete (as contemplated by Section 3.08) for each Test and Subject Receivable and (ii) the related Review Invoice. The Review Report will include a summary of the findings and conclusions of the
Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the Asset Review to be included in the Form 10-D for the Issuer for the Collection Period in which the Review Report is received. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report
does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to forward the Review Report to any Noteholder or any other person. 

  
 5 

 Section 3.08 Completion of Review for Certain Subject Receivables. 

Following the delivery of the list of the Subject Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Subject Receivable is paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer by the Sponsor or the Servicer in accordance with the Transaction Documents. On
receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Receivables and the Asset Review of such Receivables will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the Review Report
will indicate a Test Complete for the Receivables and the related reason. 
 Section 3.09 Termination of Review. 

If an Asset Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date (including any payment in full as a result of any
early redemption of the Notes), the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten days before that Payment Date. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset
Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report. 
 Section 3.10 Review and Procedure Limitations. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred, (ii) to
determine whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct an Asset Review and may rely on the information in any Review Notice delivered by the Indenture Trustee, (iii) to determine which Receivables are Subject Receivables
and may rely on the list of Subject Receivables provided by the Servicer, (iv) to confirm the validity of the Review Materials, (v) other than as specified in Section 3.03, to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials, or
(vi) to take any action or to cause any other party to take any action under any of the Transaction Documents to enforce any remedies for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, including any Eligibility Representation. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall only be required to perform the testing procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit
A, and shall have no obligation to perform to perform additional testing procedures on any Subject Receivables or to consider any additional information provided by any party. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to
provide reporting or other information other than the Review Report described in Section 3.07. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may provide additional information about any Subject Receivable that it determines in good faith
to be material to its performance of an Asset Review. 
 Section 3.11 Review Systems. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall maintain and utilize an electronic case management system to manage the Tests and to provide
systematic control over each step in the Review process and ensure consistency and repeatability for the Tests. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that these systems allow for each Subject Receivable and the related Review Materials to
be individually tracked and stored as contemplated by this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain adequate staff that is properly trained to conduct Asset Reviews as required by this Agreement. 

  
 6 

 Section 3.12 Representatives. 

(a) Servicer Representative. The Servicer will provide reasonable access to one or more designated representatives to respond to
reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its completion of an Asset Review. 
 (b) Asset
Representations Review Representative. The Asset Representations Reviewer will provide reasonable access to one or more designated representatives to respond to reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Servicer, the Sponsor, the Issuer or
the Indenture Trustee during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s completion of an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to respond to requests or inquires, and other than as specified in
Section 3.13 shall not respond to requests or inquiries, made by any Person not party to this Agreement other than the Indenture Trustee; provided, that if the Asset Representations Reviewer receives any request or inquiry from a
Person not a party to this Agreement, then the Asset Representations Reviewer may inform such Person that they may contact the Servicer and/or the Indenture Trustee with respect to such request or inquiry. 

Section 3.13 Dispute Resolution. 

If a Subject Receivable that was reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer during an Asset Review is the subject of a dispute resolution
proceeding under Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of a party to the proceeding. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and
reasonable compensation of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its participation in any dispute resolution proceeding will be considered expenses of the Requesting Party for the dispute resolution and (subject to Section 4.03) will be
paid by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the mediator or arbitrator for the dispute resolution according to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

Section 3.14 Records Retention. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain copies of Review Materials, Review Reports and internal work papers and correspondence
(collectively the “Client Records”) for a period of two years after the termination of this Agreement. At the expiration of the retention period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall return all Client Records to the Servicer, in
electronic format or, to the extent held in tangible form, in that form. Upon the return of the Client Records, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to retain such Client Records or to respond to inquiries concerning the Asset
Review. 
 Section 3.15 No Delegation. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer may not delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the consent of
the Issuer, the Sponsor and the Servicer.

 ARTICLE IV. 

PAYMENTS TO ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW 

Section 4.01 Annual Fee. 

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal
to $7,500.00 (the “Annual ARR Fee”) during the term of this Agreement, which shall be paid by or on behalf of the Sponsor within 30 days of the date hereof, with respect to the initial Annual ARR Fee, and within 30 days of the
annual anniversary of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 6.02, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall refund to the Sponsor a portion of
the Annual ARR Fee attributable to the portion of the annual period during which Clayton will no longer act as the Asset Representations Reviewer, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Annual ARR Fee for each day during the annual
period is an amount equal to the Annual ARR Fee divided by 365. 
 Section 4.02 Review Fee. 

Following the completion of an Asset Review and delivery to the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Issuer of the Review
Report and the related Review Invoice, the Sponsor shall pay to the Asset Representations Reviewer a fee of $200.00 for each Subject Receivable for which the Asset Review was completed plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with travel to the location at which Review Materials are made available in accordance with Section 3.03 (the “Review Fee”). However, no Review Fee will be charged for any Subject Receivable which was included in a prior
Asset Review or for which no Tests were completed prior to the Asset Representations Reviewer being notified of a termination of the Asset review according to Section 3.09. To the extent not paid by the Sponsor and outstanding for at
least 90 days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Issuer of the Review Invoice, the Review Fee shall be paid by the Issuer pursuant to the priority of payments sets forth in Section 4.4 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no aggregate limit on the Review Fee paid by the Sponsor to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this
Section 4.02. 
 Section 4.03 Dispute Resolution Expenses. 

If the Asset Representations Reviewer participates in a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.13 and its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable compensation for the time it incurs in participating in the proceeding are not paid by a party to the dispute resolution within ninety (90) days of the end of the proceeding, the Sponsor will reimburse the
Asset Representations Reviewer for such expenses upon receipt of a detailed invoice. 
 Section 4.04 Payment. 

All payments made to the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be made to the account specified by the Asset Representations Reviewer from time
to time in writing to the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Issuer. 

  
 8 

 Section 4.05 Payments by the Issuer. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges and agrees that any payments payable by the Issuer under this Agreement, including pursuant to
this Article IV or Section 5.03, shall be limited to amounts available to make such payments pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as applicable.

obligations under, this Agreement). 
 (c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Clayton of this Agreement other than (i) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made and

Servicer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of an action in its capacity as Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this Agreement,
or for errors in judgment, whether arising from express or implied duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Asset Representations Reviewer against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of this Agreement or negligence in the performance of its duties. In no event will the Asset Representations Reviewer be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage
(including loss of profit) even if the Asset Representations Reviewer has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer and any director, officer, employee, or agent may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its

defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage or liability resulting from (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence or (ii) the Asset
Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement.

Trustee, and its officers, directors, successors, assigns, legal representatives, agents, and servants (each an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes, claims, actions, investigations, proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted at any time against an Indemnified Person (whether or not also indemnified against by any other person) which arose out of the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Asset Representations Reviewer in the performance of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Person from and against expenses arising or resulting from
(i) the Indemnified Person’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, or (ii) the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Indemnified Person.

Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own information of like import, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable standard of care.

  
 13 

 (c) Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include, and this Agreement imposes no
obligations with respect to, information that:

be disclosed by applicable law, statute, or regulation. 
 (d) Disclosure by Operation of Law. If either party is requested to
disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information under a subpoena, or inquiry issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial or administrative agency or legislative body or committee, such party shall (i) to the extent
permitted by law, promptly notify the other party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (ii) consult with the other party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and

assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information to be disclosed. Each party shall reimburse the other party for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such party’s
effort to comply with this section.

interest in the future success of the operations of the Company, (iii) attract outstanding individuals, and (iv) retain and motivate such individuals. The Plan is intended to provide eligible individuals with the opportunity to acquire an

hereunder are conditioned on and shall be of no force or effect until the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company. The Committee (or its delegate in accordance with Section 3.4(b) hereof) may grant Awards, the entitlement to which
shall be expressly subject to the condition that the Plan shall have been approved by the stockholders of the Company.

	 	(f)	Prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and procedures relating to the Plan; 

  

	 	(g)	Determine the terms and provisions of Award agreements; 

  
 6 

	 	(h)	Appoint designees or agents (who need not be members of the Committee or employees of the Company) to assist the Committee with the administration of the Plan; 

 

	 	(i)	Communicate the material terms of each Award to its recipient within a relatively short period of time after approval; and 

  

	 	(j)	Make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. 

 3.2
Committee Discretion. The Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, and without amendment to the Plan, have the power to waive or modify, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under this Plan;
provided, however, that (i) the Committee shall only have the power to accelerate an Award in the event of the death or disability of a Participant or upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) the Committee shall
not have any discretion to accelerate, waive, or modify any term or condition of an Award that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code if such discretion
would cause the Award to not so qualify. In the event of a Change of Control, the provisions of Section 13 hereof shall be mandatory and shall govern the vesting and exercisability schedule of any Award granted hereunder. 

3.3 Indemnification. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action, omission, or determination made in good faith. The Company shall
indemnify (to the extent permitted under Delaware law) and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been
delegated against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission, or determination relating to the Plan, unless, in
either case, such action, omission, or determination was taken or made by such member, director, or employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of the Company. The determination, interpretations, and other
actions of the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes and on all persons. 
  

	3.4	Committee Delegation. 

  

	 	(a)	The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company. The Committee may appoint an Administrative
Agent, who need not be a member of the Committee or an employee of the Company, to assist the Committee in administration of the Plan and to whom it may delegate such powers as the Committee deems appropriate, except that the Committee shall
determine any dispute. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, or in any Award agreement entered into hereunder, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient, and it shall be
the sole and final judge of such inconsistency; 

  
 7 

	 	(b)	The Committee has delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to grant Awards to employees of the Company who are not the Company’s executive officers (as such term is defined for purposes of
Section 16 of the Exchange Act) and who are below the level of Regional Vice President or Vice President; provided, that any such Awards may only be granted in accordance with guidelines established by the Committee. 

3.5 Compliance with Section 162(m). Except as expressly otherwise stated in any resolution of the Committee, the Plan is intended to comply
with the requirements of Section 162(m) or any successor section(s) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”) with respect to any Covered Employee and shall be administered, interpreted, and construed consistently therewith. The
Committee is authorized to take such additional action, if any, that may be required to ensure that the Plan and any Award under the Plan for any such Covered Employee intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) does indeed satisfy
such requirements, taking into account any regulations or other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. 
 Section 4 

Stock Subject to the Plan 
 4.1 Number of
Shares. Subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, up to (a) 25,500,000 shares of Stock are authorized for issuance under the Plan plus (b) the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding awards, as of the
Effective Date, under the Prior Plan that on or after the Effective Date cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than shares tendered, surrendered, or withheld in connection with the exercise or settlement of such awards or the
related tax withholding obligations), and subject to such restrictions or other provisions as the Committee may from time to time deem necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of aggregate shares of Stock available for issuance under the
Plan at any given time shall be reduced by (i) 1.0 share for each share of Stock granted in the form of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or (ii) 2.39 shares for each share of Stock granted in the form of any Award that is not a
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right. During the duration of the Plan, no Eligible Person may be granted Options which in the aggregate cover in excess of 5 percent of the total shares of Stock authorized under the Plan. No Award may be granted
under the Plan on or after the 10-year anniversary of the Effective Date. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, within the aggregate limit described in the first sentence of this Section 4.1, up to 25,500,000 shares of Stock may be
issued pursuant to ISOs granted under the Plan. 
 4.2 Availability of Shares Not Issued under Awards. If shares of Stock which may be
issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan awarded hereunder are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, or surrendered or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the holder of such Award, the shares of Stock with
respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination, or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that in such case, the number of shares of Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall increase by 1.0 share for each share related to a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right that is so forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, surrendered, or expired and by 2.39 shares for each such share which is not
related to a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right. The number of shares available shall not be increased by shares tendered, 

  
 8 

 
surrendered or withheld in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award or the related tax withholding obligations. Furthermore, when a SAR is settled in shares, the number of shares
subject to the SAR under the SAR Award agreement will be counted against the aggregate number of shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan as one share for every share subject to the SAR, regardless of the number of shares
used to settle the SAR upon exercise. 
 4.3 Stock Offered. The Company shall at all times during the term of the Plan retain as authorized
and unissued Stock and/or Stock in the Company’s treasury, at least the number of shares from time to time require under the provisions of the Plan, or otherwise assure itself of its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 

4.4 Adjustments for Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc. If the Company shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its outstanding shares
of Stock or change in any way the rights and privileges of such shares by means of the payment of a Stock dividend or any other distribution upon such shares payable in Stock or rights to acquire Stock, or through a Stock split, reverse Stock split,
subdivision, consolidation, combination, reclassification, or recapitalization involving the Stock (any of the foregoing being herein called a “capital restructuring”), then in relation to the Stock that is affected by one or more of the
above events, the numbers, rights, and privileges of the following shall be, in each case, equitably and proportionally adjusted to take into account the occurrence of any of the above events: (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock or other
property (including cash) that may thereafter be issued pursuant to subsections 4.1 and 4.10, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock or other property (including cash) issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the
exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award, (iv) the Performance Goals, and (v) the individual limitations applicable to Awards, provided that, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, such adjustment in clauses
(i), (ii), and (iii) shall be made in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 4.5 Other Changes in Stock. In
the event there shall be any change, other than as specified in subsections 4.4 hereof, in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock or of any stock or other securities into which the Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been
exchanged, and if the Committee shall in its discretion determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards or which have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan but are
not then subject to an Award, then such adjustments shall be made by the Committee and shall be effective for all purposes of the Plan and on each outstanding Award that involves the particular type of stock for which a change was effected. 

4.6 Rights to Subscribe. If the Company shall at any time grant to the holders of its Stock rights to subscribe pro rata for additional
shares thereof or for any other securities of the Company or of any other corporation, there shall be reserved with respect to the shares then under an outstanding Award to any Participant of the particular class of Stock involved the Stock or other
securities which the Participant would have been entitled to subscribe for if immediately prior to such grant the Participant had exercised his entire Option. If, upon exercise of any such Option, the Participant subscribes for the additional shares
or other securities, the aggregate Option Price shall be increased by the amount of the price that is payable by the Participant for 

  
 9 

 
such additional shares or other securities as if the Participant had exercised his entire Option immediately prior to the grant of such additional shares or other securities. 

4.7 General Adjustment Rules. No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 4 shall require the Company to sell a fractional
share of Stock under any Option, or otherwise issue a fractional share of Stock, and the total substitution or adjustment with respect to each Option shall be limited by deleting any fractional share. In the case of any such substitution or
adjustment, the aggregate Option Price for the shares of Stock then subject to the Option shall remain unchanged but the Option Price per share under each such Option shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect the greater or lesser
number of shares of Stock or other securities into which the Stock subject to the Option may have been changed. 
 4.8 Determination by the Committee,
Etc. Adjustments under this Section 4 shall be made by the Committee, whose determinations with regard thereto shall be final and binding upon all parties. 

4.9 Code Section 409A. For any Award that is not subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A before the adjustments identified in
the preceding sections of this Section 4, no adjustment shall be made that would cause the Award to become subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. For an Award that is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A before the
adjustments identified in the preceding sections of this Section 4, no adjustment shall cause the Award to violate Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, without the prior written consent of both the Participant and the Committee. 

 

	4.10	Award Limits. The following limits shall apply to grants of all Awards under the Plan: 

  

	 	(a)	Options: The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Options granted in any calendar year to any one Participant shall be 1,250,000 shares. 

 

	 	(b)	SARs: The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be subject to Stock Appreciation Rights granted in any calendar year to any one Participant shall be 1,250,000 shares. Any shares covered by Options
which include tandem SARs granted to one Participant in any calendar year shall reduce this limit on the number of shares subject to SARs that can be granted to such Participant in such calendar year. 

 

	 	(c)	Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units: The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted in any calendar year
to any one Participant shall be 500,000 shares. 

  

	 	(d)	Performance Awards: The maximum aggregate grant with respect to Performance Awards granted in any calendar year to any one Participant shall be 500,000 shares (or SARs based on the value of such
number of shares). If any Performance Award is settled in cash, the amount of such cash can be no more than the Fair Market Value of the Stock underlying such Performance Award. 

  
 10 

	 	(e)	Cash Payment: The maximum aggregate amount of compensation that may be paid under all Cash-Based Awards (including the Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock paid in satisfaction of such Cash-Based
Awards) granted in any calendar year to any one Participant shall be $15,000,000. 

  

	 	(f)	Non-Employee Directors: In addition to any other limitations set forth in this Section 4.10, Awards granted under the Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant who is a non-employee
director shall be limited to an aggregate number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value on the grant date not to exceed $300,000. 

 To
the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, shares subject to Options or SARs which are canceled shall continue to be counted against the limits set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) immediately preceding. 

4.11 Repayment/Forfeiture/Claw-back of Awards. Each Participant’s Award (including any proceeds, gains, or other economic benefit
actually or constructively received by a Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award) shall be conditioned on repayment, forfeiture, or claw-back in accordance with the Company’s claw-back policy, if any, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and/or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, if applicable, and any other applicable law and the related Award agreement shall reflect any such condition. 

4.12 Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to a Participant, entitling the Participant to
receive cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock, or other periodic payments. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection
with another Award. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock, Awards, or other investment vehicles, and subject to risk of
forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents shall not be granted in connection with the grant of any Options or Stock Appreciation Right. 

Section 5 
 Granting of
Awards to Participants 
 5.1 Participation. Participants in the Plan shall be those Eligible Persons who, in the judgment of the Committee
(or, pursuant to Section 3.4(b), the Chief Executive Officer of the Company), are performing, or during the term of their incentive arrangement will perform, vital services in the management, operation, and development of the Company or an
Affiliate, and significantly contribute, or are expected to significantly contribute, to the achievement of the Company’s long-term corporate economic objectives. Participants may be granted from time to time one or more Awards; provided,
however, that the grant of each such Award shall be separately approved by the Committee or granted in accordance with Section 3.4(b) hereof, and receipt of one such Award shall not result in automatic receipt of any other Award. Upon
determination that an Award is to be granted to a Participant, as soon as practicable, written 

  
 11 

 
notice shall be given to such person, specifying the terms, conditions, rights, and duties related thereto. Each Participant shall, if required by the Committee, enter into an agreement with the
Company, in such form as the Committee shall determine and which is consistent with the provisions of the Plan, specifying such terms, conditions, rights, and duties. Awards shall be deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant
resolution of the Committee (or, in the case of grants made pursuant to Section 3.4(b), in accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee), which date shall be the date of any related agreement with the Participant. In the event of
any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and any such agreement entered into hereunder, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 
 Awards
granted to members of the Board shall be recommended to the full Board by the Management Development and Compensation Committee and approved by the full Board. 

5.2 Notification to Participants and Delivery of Documents. As soon as practicable after such determinations have been made, each Participant
shall be notified of (a) his/her designation as a Participant, (b) the date of grant, (c) the number and type of Awards granted to the Participant, (d) in the case of Performance Awards, the Performance Period and Performance
Goals, (e) in the case of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, the Restriction Period (as defined in subsection 8.1), and (f) any other terms or conditions imposed by the Committee with respect to the Award. 

5.3 Delivery of Award Agreement. This requirement for delivery of a written Award agreement is satisfied by electronic delivery of such
agreement provided that evidence of the Participant’s receipt of such electronic delivery is available to the Company and such delivery is not prohibited by applicable laws and regulations. 

Section 6 
 Stock Options

 6.1 Grant of Stock Options. Coincident with or following designation for participation in the Plan, an Eligible Person may be granted one
or more Options. Grants of Options under the Plan shall be made by the Committee or in accordance with Section 3.4(b). In no event shall the exercise of one Option affect the right to exercise any other Option or affect the number of shares of
Stock for which any other Option may be exercised, except as provided in subsection 6.2(j) hereof. 
 6.2 Stock Option Agreements. Each Option
granted under the Plan shall be identified as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option (or, if no such identification is made, then it shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option) and evidenced by a written agreement which shall be
entered into by the Company and the Participant to whom the Option is granted, and which shall contain the following terms and conditions set out in this subsection 6.2, as well as such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the
Committee may consider appropriate. 
  

	 	(a)	Number of Shares. Each Stock Option agreement shall state that it covers a specified number of shares of Stock, as determined by the Committee. 

  
 12 

	 	(b)	Price. The price at which each share of Stock covered by an Option may be purchased, the Option Price, shall be determined in each case by the Committee and set forth in the Stock Option agreement. The
price may vary according to a formula specified in the Stock Option agreement, but in no event shall the Option Price ever be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Option is granted. 

 

	 	(c)	No Backdating. There shall be no backdating of Options, and each Option shall be dated the actual date that the Committee adopts the resolution awarding the grant of such Option. 

 

	 	(d)	Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns (or is attributed to own by virtue of the
Internal Revenue Code) Stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate unless (i) the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least 110 percent of the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted and (ii) such Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

 To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Stock of the Company with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable
for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other option plan of the Company (or any Affiliate) shall exceed $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Such Fair Market Value shall
be determined as of the date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted. 
  

	 	(e)	Duration of Options. Each Stock Option agreement shall state the period of time, determined by the Committee, within which the Option may be exercised by the Participant (the “Option Period”).
The Option Period must end, in all cases, not more than ten years from the date an Option is granted. 

  

	 	(f)	Termination of Options. During the lifetime of a Participant to whom a Stock Option is granted, the Stock Option may be exercised only by such Participant or, in the case of disability (as determined
pursuant to the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan or any successor plan) by the Participant’s designated legal representative, except to the extent such exercise would cause any Award intended to qualify as an ISO not to so qualify. Once
a Participant to whom a Stock Option was granted dies, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or, with respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, as otherwise
provided in Section 15.2. Unless the Stock Option agreement shall specify a longer or shorter period, at the discretion of the Committee, then the Participant (or representative, or, if applicable pursuant to Section 15.2, designated
beneficiary) may exercise the Stock Option for a period of up to three months after such Participant terminates employment or ceases to be a member of the Board. 

  
 13 

	 	(g)	Exercise, Payments, Etc. 

  

	 	(i)	Each Stock Option agreement shall provide that the method for exercising the Option granted therein shall be by delivery to the Administrative Agent of written notice specifying the number of shares of Stock with
respect to which such Option is exercised and payment to the Company of the aggregate Option Price. Such notice shall be in a form satisfactory to the Committee and shall specify the particular Options (or portions thereof) which are being exercised
and the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Options are being exercised. The Participant’s obligation to deliver written notice of exercise is satisfied by electronic delivery of such notice through means satisfactory to the
Committee and prescribed by the Company. The exercise of the Option shall be deemed effective on the date such notice is received by the Administrative Agent and payment is made to the Company of the aggregate Option Price (the “Exercise
Date”); however, if payment of the aggregate Option Price is made pursuant to a sale of shares of Stock as contemplated by subsection 6.2(g)(iv)(E) below, the Exercise Date shall be deemed to be the date of such sale. If requested by the
Company, such notice shall contain the Participant’s representation that he or she is purchasing the Stock for investment purposes only and his or her agreement not to sell any Stock so purchased in any manner that is in violation of the
Exchange Act or any applicable state law, and such restriction, or notice thereof, shall be placed on the certificates representing the Stock so purchased. The purchase of such Stock shall take place upon delivery of such notice to the
Administrative Agent, at which time the aggregate Option Price shall be paid in full to the Company by any of the methods or any combination of the methods set forth in subsection 6.2(g)(iv) below. 

 

	 	(ii)	The shares of Stock to which the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of the Option shall be issued by the Company and either (A) delivered by electronic means to an account designated by the
Participant or (B) delivered to the Participant in the form of a properly executed certificate or certificates representing such shares of Stock. If shares of Stock are used to pay all or part of the aggregate Option Price, the Company shall
issue and deliver to the Participant the additional shares of Stock, in excess of the aggregate Option Price or portion thereof paid using shares of Stock, to which the Participant is entitled as a result of the Option exercise. 

 

	 	(iii)	The Company’s obligation to deliver the shares of Stock to which the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of the Option shall be subject to the payment in full to the Company of the aggregate Option
Price and the required tax withholding. 

  

	 	(iv)	The aggregate Option Price shall be paid by any of the following methods or any combination of the following methods: 

  
 14 

	 	(A)	in cash, including the wire transfer of funds in U.S. dollars to one of the Company’s bank accounts located in the United States, with such bank account to be designated from time to time by the Company;

  

	 	(B)	by personal, certified, or cashier’s check payable in U.S. dollars to the order of the Company; 

  

	 	(C)	by delivery to the Company or the Administrative Agent of certificates representing a number of shares of Stock then owned by the Participant, the aggregate Fair Market Value of which (as of the Exercise Date) is equal
to the aggregate Option Price of the Option being exercised, properly endorsed for transfer to the Company; 

  

	 	(D)	by certification or attestation to the Company or the Administrative Agent of the Participant’s ownership (as of the Exercise Date) of a number of shares of Stock, the aggregate Fair Market Value of which (as of
the Exercise Date) is not greater than the aggregate Option Price of the Option being exercised; or 

  

	 	(E)	by delivery to the Company or the Administrative Agent of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company, by wire transfer or check as noted
in subsection 6.2(g)(iv)(A) and (B) above, the amount of the proceeds of the sale of all or a portion of the Stock or of a loan from the broker to the Participant necessary to pay the aggregate Option Price. 

 

	 	(h)	Tax Withholding. Each Stock Option agreement shall provide that, upon exercise of the Option, the Participant shall make appropriate arrangements with the Company to provide for not less than the minimum
amount of tax withholding required by law, including without limitation Sections 3102 and 3402 or any successor section(s) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and local income and other tax laws, by payment of such taxes in cash
(including wire transfer), by check, or as provided in Section 12 hereof. 

  

	 	(i)	 Repricing Prohibited. Subject to Sections 4, 6, 13, 14, and 17, outstanding Stock Options granted
under this Plan shall not be repriced without approval by the Company’s stockholders. In particular, neither the Board nor the Committee may take any action: (1) to amend the terms of an outstanding Option or SAR to reduce the Option Price
or grant price thereof, cancel an Option or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR with a lower Option Price or grant price, or take any other action (whether in the form of an amendment, cancellation or replacement grant, or a cash-out of
underwater options) that has an economic effect that is the same as any such reduction or cancellation or (2) to cancel an outstanding Option or SAR having an Option Price or grant price above the
then-

  
 15 

	 	
current Fair Market Value of the Stock in exchange for the grant of another type of Award, without, in each such case, first obtaining approval of the stockholders of the Company of such action.

  

	 	(j)	Stockholder Privileges. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Stock covered by an Option until the Participant becomes the holder of record of such Stock.
Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, no adjustments shall be made for dividends or other distributions or other rights as to which there is a record date preceding the date on which such Participant becomes the holder of record of such
Stock. 

  

	 	(k)	Section 409A Avoidance. Once granted, no Stock Option shall be modified, extended, or renewed in any way that would cause the Stock Option to be subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The
Option Period shall not be extended to any date that would cause the Stock Option to become subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Option Price shall not be adjusted to reflect any dividends declared and paid on the Stock between
the date of grant and the date the Stock Option is exercised. 

  

	 	(l)	Vesting Period. Each Stock Option agreement shall state the vesting period (the period which ends as of a date that the Option is no longer restricted or subject to forfeiture) that applies to the
specified number of shares of Stock granted pursuant thereto. In respect of the employees of the Company (including executive officers), such vesting period for the entire Option award shall in no event be less than three years following the grant
date, and, subject to Sections 13 and 14 of the Plan, the Committee may not waive such minimum vesting period except in the case of the Participant’s death or disability. 

Section 7 
 Stock Appreciation
Rights 
 7.1 Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee (or, if so provided pursuant to Section 3.4(b), the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company) is authorized to grant SARs to Participants either alone (“freestanding”) or in tandem with other Awards, including Performance Awards, Options, and Restricted Stock. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with any Award must
be granted at the same time as the Award is granted. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Options. Options granted in tandem with
Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee shall establish the terms and conditions applicable to any Stock Appreciation Rights,
which terms and conditions need not be uniform but may not be inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall generally be subject to terms and conditions substantially similar to those described in
Section 4 and subsection 6.2 for Options, including, but not limited to, the requirements of subsections 6.2(b), (d), (i), and (l) and subsection 4.7 regarding general adjustment rules, minimum price, duration, and prohibition on
repricing. 

  
 16 

 7.2 Section 409A Avoidance. The SAR Price may be fixed on the date it is granted or the SAR
Price may vary according to an objective formula specified by the Committee at the time of grant. However, the SAR Price can never be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant. The SAR grant must specify the number of shares
to which it applies, which must be fixed at the date of grant (subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 4, 6, and 12). Once granted, no SAR shall be modified, extended, or renewed in any way that would cause the SAR to be subject to Internal
Revenue Code Section 409A. The period during which the SAR may be exercised shall not be extended to any date that would cause the SAR to become subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The value of the SAR shall not be adjusted to
reflect any dividends declared and paid on the Stock between the date of grant and the date the SAR is exercised. 
 Section 8 

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 
 8.1
Restriction Period. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units is made, the Committee shall establish the terms and conditions applicable to such Award, including the period of time (the “Restriction
Period”) and attainment of performance goals during which certain restrictions established by the Committee shall apply to the Award. In respect of the employees of the Company (including executive officers), such Restriction Period, the time
ending as of the date upon which the entire Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units is no longer restricted or subject to forfeiture provisions, shall in no event be less than three years following the initial grant date of the Award of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (such Restriction Period to include periods of time during which the achievement of specific performance goals or other performance is measured with respect to such Awards), and, subject to Sections 13 and
14 of the Plan, the Committee may not waive such minimum Restriction Period except in the case of the Participant’s death or disability. Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may also be made in accordance with
Section 3.4(b). Each such Award, and designated portions of the same Award, may have a different Restriction Period. Except as permitted or pursuant to Sections 13 and 14 hereof, the Restriction Period applicable to a particular Award shall not
be changed. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may or may not be subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. If they are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the grant of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units
must contain the provisions needed to comply with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, including but not limited to (i) the timing of any election to defer receipt of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units beyond
the date of vesting, (ii) the timing of any payout election, and (iii) the timing of the settlement of Restricted Stock or a Restricted Stock Unit. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are subject to Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A may be adjusted to reflect any dividends declared and paid on the Stock between the date of grant and the date the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit vests, but only to the extent permitted in IRS guidance of general
applicability. 
 8.2 Certificates for Stock. Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If
certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted
Stock, that 

  
 17 

 
the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock represented by a
stock certificate registered in the name of the Participant. 
 8.3 Restricted Stock Terms and Conditions. Participants shall have the right
to enjoy all shareholder rights during the Restriction Period except that: 
  

	 	(a)	The Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the Stock certificate until the Restriction Period shall have expired. 

  

	 	(b)	The Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Stock during the Restriction Period. 

 

	 	(c)	A breach of the terms and conditions established by the Committee with respect to the Restricted Stock shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock and any dividends withheld thereon. 

 

	 	(d)	Dividends and Splits. As a condition to the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may specify whether any cash dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in additional
shares of Restricted Stock or applied to the purchase of additional Awards under this Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Stock distributed in connection with a Stock split or Stock dividend, and other property distributed as a
dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed. 

8.4 Restricted Stock Units. The Committee (or, if so provided pursuant to Section 3.4(b), the Chief Executive Officer of the Company) is
authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Participants, which are rights to receive Stock at the end of a specified deferral period, subject to the following terms and conditions: 

Award and Restrictions. Settlement of an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall occur as specified for such Restricted Stock Unit by the
Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 8.5) in the related Award agreement. In addition, Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions (which may include a risk of
forfeiture) as the Committee may impose, if any, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the vesting or deferral period, as the case may be, or at earlier specified times (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future
service requirements), separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. Restricted Stock Units shall be satisfied by the delivery of cash or Stock in the amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the
specified number of shares of Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. 

8.5 Deferral of Receipt of Restricted Stock Units. With the consent of the Committee, a Participant who has been granted a Restricted Stock Unit
may by compliance with the then 

  
 18 

 
applicable procedures under the Plan irrevocably elect in writing to defer receipt of all or any part of any distribution associated with that Restricted Stock Unit Award in accordance with
either the terms and conditions of the Deferred Delivery Plan or the terms and conditions specified under the grant agreement and related documents. The terms and conditions of any such deferral, including, but not limited to, the period of time
for, and form of, election; the manner and method of payout; and the use and form of Dividend Equivalents in respect of stock-based units resulting from such deferral, shall be as determined by the Committee. The Committee may, at any time and from
time to time, but prospectively only except as hereinafter provided, amend, modify, change, suspend, or cancel any and all of the rights, procedures, mechanics, and timing parameters relating to such deferrals. In addition, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, accelerate the pay out of such deferrals (and any earnings thereon), or any portion thereof, either in a lump sum or in a series of payments, but only to the extent that the payment or the change in timing of the payment will not
cause a violation of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. 
 8.6 Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Obligations. The Committee is
authorized to grant Stock as a bonus, or to grant Stock or other Awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under this Plan or under plans or compensatory arrangements, provided that, in the case of Participants subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the Committee to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisitions of Stock or other Awards are exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act. Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee. In the case of any grant of Stock to an officer of the Company or an Affiliate in lieu of salary or other cash
compensation, the number of shares granted in place of such compensation shall be reasonable, as determined by the Committee. 

Section 9 
 Performance
Awards 
 9.1 Compliance with Section 162(m). The provisions of the Plan are intended to ensure that all Options and SARs granted hereunder to
any Participant who is a Covered Employee at the time of exercise of such Option or SAR qualify for exemption from the limitation on deductibility imposed by Section 162(m) and that such Options and SARs shall therefore be considered
Performance-Based Compensation and the Plan shall be interpreted and operated consistent with that intention. The Committee may designate any Award (other than an Option or SAR) as Performance-Based Compensation upon grant, in each case based upon a
determination that (i) the Participant is designated a Covered Employee with respect to such Award and (ii) the Committee wishes such Award to be subject this Section 9 and qualify for exemption from the limitation on deductibility
imposed by Section 162(m). The Committee shall have the sole authority to specify which Awards are to be granted in compliance with this Section 9 and treated as Performance-Based Compensation. The term “Performance-Based
Compensation” means compensation under an Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) for certain performance-based compensation paid to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
nothing in the Plan shall be construed to mean that an Award that does not satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) does not constitute performance-based compensation for other purposes, including
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. 

  
 19 

 9.2 Establishment of Performance Goals for Company. Performance Goals applicable to an Award
intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be established by the Committee in its absolute discretion on or before the date of grant and within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of,
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)(4)(C), or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder, for performance-based compensation. Such Performance Goals may include or be based upon any of the following criteria, either in
absolute amount, per share, or per barrel of oil equivalent (boe): pretax income or after tax income, operating profit, return on equity, return on capital employed, total shareholder return, capital or investment, earnings, book value, increase in
cash flow return, sales or revenues, operating expenses (including, but not limited to, lease operating expenses, severance taxes and other production taxes, gathering and transportation, general and administrative costs, and other components of
operating expenses), stock price appreciation, implementation or completion of critical projects or processes, production growth, reserve growth, and/or corporate acquisition goals based on value of assets acquired or similar objective measures.

 Where applicable, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of attaining a specified level of a particular criteria or attaining a percentage
increase or decrease in a particular criteria, and may be applied relative to internal goals or levels attained in prior years or related to other companies or indices or as ratios expressing relationship between Performance Goals, or any
combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. 
 The Performance Goals may include a threshold level of performance below which no vesting will
occur, levels of performance at which specified vesting will occur, and a maximum level of performance at which full vesting will occur. 
 The Committee
may in its discretion classify Participants into as many groups as it determines, and as to any Participant relate his/her Performance Goals partially, or entirely, to the measured performance, either absolutely or relatively, of an identified
subsidiary, division, operating company, test strategy, or new venture of the Company and/or its Affiliates. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, payment or vesting of any Award intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall not be made until the applicable Performance Goals have been satisfied and any other material terms of such Award were in fact satisfied. The Committee
shall certify in writing the attainment of each Performance Goal. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall have no discretion to
increase the amount payable pursuant to Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation beyond the amount that would otherwise be payable upon attainment of the applicable Performance Goal(s). The Committee shall, however,
retain the discretion to decrease the amount payable pursuant to such Awards below the amount that would otherwise be payable upon attainment of the applicable Performance Goal(s), either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as
the Committee determines. The Committee may determine with respect to any Award intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation that an evaluation of 

  
 20 

 
performance may include or exclude the impact, if any, on reported financial results of any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs,
(b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions, (d) reorganization or restructuring programs, (e) acquisitions or divestitures, (f) foreign
exchange gains and losses, or (g) gains and losses that are treated as unusual or infrequent under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 225. Such inclusions or exclusions shall be prescribed in a form and at a time that meets the
requirements of Code Section 162(m) for qualification of the Award as Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable Performance Goals with respect to an Award intended to qualify as
Performance-Based Compensation, except in the case of the Participant’s death or disability, or a Change of Control. 
 9.3 Levels of Performance
Required to Earn Performance Awards. At or about the same time that Performance Goals are established for a specific period, the Committee shall in its absolute discretion establish the percentage of the Award intended to qualify as
Performance-Based Compensation granted for such Performance Period which shall be earned by the Participant for various levels of performance measured in relation to achievement of Performance Goals for such Performance Period. The Committee shall
have the discretion to determine the Performance Period for any Participant, including any new hiree Participant, which may be for a Performance Period of less than one year; provided, however, that any such Performance Award intended
to be Performance-Based Compensation must satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m). 
 9.4 Committee Discretion. In the event that
applicable tax or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing performance measures or permit flexibility with respect to the terms of any Award or Awards to be treated as Performance-Based Compensation without
obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. Performance Awards shall include Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation and
any other Awards using the criteria set forth in this Section 9, provided that, for Awards not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may make Performance Awards based on any
criteria or performance measures it determines to be appropriate and may increase or decrease the amount payable pursuant to such Awards as it subjectively determines. 

9.5 Other Restrictions. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions applicable to any Performance Award, which may include
restrictions on the payment of cash or the delivery of Stock payable in connection with the Performance Award and restrictions that could result in the future forfeiture of all or part of any cash or Stock earned. The Committee may provide that
shares of Stock issued in connection with a Performance Award be held in escrow and/or legended. Performance Awards may or may not be subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. If a Performance Award is subject to Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A, the Performance Award grant agreement shall contain the terms and conditions needed to comply with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, including but not limited to (i) the timing of any election to
defer receipt of the Performance Award, (ii) the timing of any payout election, and (iii) the timing of the actual payment of the Performance Award. Performance Awards that are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A may be
adjusted to 

  
 21 

 
reflect any dividends declared and paid on the Stock between the date of grant and the date the Performance Award is paid, but only to the extent permitted in IRS guidance of general
applicability. 
 9.6 Notification to Participants. Promptly after the Committee has established the Performance Goals with respect to a
Performance Award, the Participant shall be provided with written notice of the Performance Goals so established. 
 9.7 Measurement of Performance
against Performance Goals. The Committee shall, as soon as practicable after the close of a Performance Period, determine (a) the extent to which the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have been achieved and (b) the
percentage of the Performance Awards earned as a result. 
 These determinations shall be absolute and final as to the facts and conclusions therein made
and be binding on all parties. Promptly after the Committee has made the foregoing determination, each Participant who has earned Performance Awards shall be notified. For all purposes of this Plan, notice shall be deemed to have been given the date
action is taken by the Committee making the determination. Participants may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of their Performance Awards during the Performance Period. 

9.8 Treatment of Performance Awards Earned. Upon the Committee’s determination that a percentage of any Performance Award has been earned
for a Performance Period, Participants to whom such earned Performance Awards have been granted and who have been in the employ of the Company or Affiliates continuously from the date of grant until the end of the Performance Period, subject to the
exceptions set forth in the Performance Award agreement and in Sections 11 and 13 hereof, shall be entitled, subject to the other conditions of this Plan, to payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Performance Awards. Performance
Awards shall under no circumstances become earned or have any value whatsoever for any Participant who is not in the employ of the Company or its Affiliates continuously during the entire Performance Period for which such Performance Award was
granted, except as provided in Sections 11 and 13. 
 9.9 Payment of Performance Awards. Payment of a Performance Award for a Performance
Period may be made in cash or Stock as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, or as provided in the Award agreement. 
 9.10 Subsequent
Performance Award Grants. Following the grant of Performance Awards with respect to a Performance Period, additional Participants may be designated by the Committee for grant of Performance Awards for such Performance Period subject to the
same terms and conditions set forth for the initial grants, except that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce the value of the amounts to which subsequent Participants may become entitled, prorated according to reduced time spent during
the Performance Period, and the applicable Performance Award agreement shall be modified to reflect such reduction. 

  
 22 

 9.11 Stockholder Privileges. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to
any shares of Stock covered by a Performance Award until the Participant becomes the holder of record of such Stock. 
 Section 10 

Cash-Based Awards 
 10.1 Grant of
Cash-Based Awards. The Committee may grant Cash-Based Awards not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan to a Participant in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may designate a Cash-Based Award as a Performance Award. 
 10.2 Cash-Based Award Agreement. Each grant of Cash-Based Awards under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement which shall be entered into by the Company and the Participant to whom the Cash-Based Award is granted (or, in the alternative, a written statement provided by the Company to the Participant). Such
written agreement or statement shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to each Cash-Based Award. 
 10.3 Vesting and Other
Conditions. A Cash-Based Award may be subject to the completion of a service period, the achievement of one or more performance conditions or such other conditions and requirements as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Each
Cash-Based Award shall specify a potential payment amount or payment range as determined by the Committee. If the Committee exercises its discretion to subject the vesting of a Cash-Based Award to the achievement of one or more performance
conditions, the amount of the Cash-Based Award that shall be paid to the Participant will depend on the extent to which such performance conditions are met and the satisfaction of any service-based payment conditions. 

10.4 Payment of Cash-Based Awards. Payment, if any, with respect to Cash-Based Awards shall be made in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Award agreement or statement, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The timing and form of the payment of a Cash-Based Award shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award agreement or
statement, unless the Committee chooses to provide in the applicable Award agreement or statement that a Participant may elect in accordance with such procedures and limitations as the Committee may specify, the timing and form of payout. 

Section 11 
 Termination of
Employment, Death, Disability, etc. 
 11.1 Termination of Employment. Except as provided herein, the treatment of an Award upon a termination
of employment or any other service relationship by and between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate shall be specified in the agreement controlling such Award. To the extent such Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, such
termination of employment or any other service relationship shall be a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) with respect to any Award intended to comply with Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code; provided, that a “separation from service” shall occur only if both the Company and the Participant expect the Participant’s level of services to 

  
 23 

 
permanently drop by more than half. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant’s employment shall be deemed to terminate on the last day of his active and actual employment with the Company
or Affiliate, whether that date is chosen unilaterally by the Company or Affiliate or by mutual agreement and whether or not advance notice is given. No period of notice that is, or ought to be, given under applicable law shall be taken into account
in determining entitlement to exercise or settlement of an Award under the Plan. 
 11.2 Termination for Cause. If the employment of the
Participant by the Company is terminated for cause, as determined by the Committee, all Awards to such Participant shall thereafter be void for all purposes. As used in subsections 11.2, and 11.3 hereof, “cause” shall mean an act of the
Participant that constitutes common law fraud, a felony, or gross malfeasance of duty. The effect of this subsection 11.2 shall be limited to determining the consequences of a termination and that nothing in this subsection 11.2 shall restrict or
otherwise interfere with the Company’s discretion with respect to the termination of any employee. 
 11.3 Performance Awards. Except as
set forth below, each Performance Award shall state that each such Award shall be subject to the condition that the Participant has remained an Eligible Person from the date of grant until the applicable vesting date as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	If the Participant voluntarily leaves the employment of the Company or an Affiliate, or if the employment of the Participant is terminated by the Company for cause or otherwise, any Performance Award to such Participant
not previously vested shall thereafter be void and forfeited for all purposes. 

  

	 	(b)	Unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, a Participant shall become vested in all Performance Awards that have met the Performance Goals within the Performance Period on the date the Participant retires from
employment with the Company on or after attaining retirement age (which for all purposes of this Plan is determined to be age 65, unless otherwise designated by the Committee at the time the Award is granted), on the date the Participant dies while
employed by the Company, or on the date the Participant terminates service with the Company and the Affiliates due to permanent disability (as determined pursuant to the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan or any successor plan, unless the
Performance award is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, in which case “permanent disability” must also fall within the meaning specified in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C) or a more restrictive meaning
established by the Committee) while employed by the Company. Such Participant shall not become entitled to any payment which may arise due to the occurrence of a Performance Goal after the Participant dies, terminates service due to permanent
disability, or retires. The amount of payment shall be determined under an Award agreement and such payment shall occur as soon as administratively convenient following the date the Participant dies, terminates service due to permanent disability,
or retires, but in no event shall the payment occur later than March 15 in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, so terminates service, or retired. If the Participant dies before receiving
payment, the payment shall be made to those entitled pursuant to Section 15.2 of this Plan. 

  
 24 

 11.4 Forfeiture Provisions. Subject to Sections 13 and 15, in the event a Participant terminates
employment during a Restriction Period for the Participant’s Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, such Awards will be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide for proration or full payout in the event of
(a) death, (b) permanent disability, or (c) any other circumstances the Committee may determine. 
 Section 12 

Tax Withholding 
 12.1 Withholding
Requirement. The Company and any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, or any payment relating to an Award under this Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, amounts of withholding and other taxes or social
security payments due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of
withholding taxes and other tax or social security obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof, in satisfaction of a
Participant’s tax obligations, either on a mandatory or elective basis at the discretion of the Committee. 
 12.2 Withholding Requirement –
Stock Options and SARs. The Company’s obligations to deliver shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or SAR shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of all applicable federal, state, and local income and other tax
and social security withholding requirements. 
 12.3 At the time the Committee grants an Option, it may, in its sole discretion, grant the Participant an
election to pay all such amounts of required tax withholding, or any part thereof: 
  

	 	(a)	by the delivery to the Company or the Administrative Agent of a number of shares of Stock then owned by the Participant, the aggregate Fair Market Value of which (as of the Exercise Date) is not greater than the amount
required to be withheld; 

  

	 	(b)	by certification or attestation to the Company or the Administrative Agent of the Participant’s ownership (as of the Exercise Date) of a number of shares of Stock, the aggregate Fair Market Value of which (as of
the Exercise Date) is not greater than the amount required to be withheld; or 

  

	 	(c)	by the Company or the Administrative Agent withholding from the shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant upon exercise of the Option, a number of shares of Stock, the aggregate Fair Market Value of which
(as of the Exercise Date) is not greater than the amount required to be withheld. Any such elections by Participants to have shares of Stock withheld for this purpose will be subject to the following restrictions: 

 

	 	(i)	all elections shall be made on or prior to the Exercise Date; and 

  
 25 

	 	(ii)	all elections shall be irrevocable. 

 12.4 Section 16 Requirements. If the Participant is an
officer or director of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 or any successor section(s) of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”), the Participant must satisfy the requirements of Section 16 and any applicable rules and
regulations thereunder with respect to the use of shares of Stock to satisfy such tax withholding obligation. 
 12.5 Restricted Stock and Performance
Award Payment and Tax Withholding. Each Restricted Stock and Performance Award agreement shall provide that, upon payment of any entitlement under such an Award, the Participant shall make appropriate arrangements with the Company to provide
for the amount of minimum tax and social security withholding required by law, including without limitation Sections 3102 and 3402 or any successor section(s) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and local income and other tax and
social security laws. The withholding may be deducted from the Award. Any payment under such an Award shall be made in a proportion of cash and shares of Stock, determined by the Committee, such that the cash portion shall be sufficient to cover the
withholding amount required by this Section. The cash portion of any payment shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the applicable date of vesting to which such tax withholding relates. Such cash portion shall be withheld
by the Company to satisfy applicable tax and social security withholding requirements. 
 Section 13 

Change of Control 
 13.1 In
General. In the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company and unless otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement: 
  

	 	(a)	Without further action by the Committee or the Board, 

 all outstanding Options shall fully vest upon the
Participant’s Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause occurring on or after a Change of Control. Such newly vested Options shall be fully exercisable as of the date of the Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination
with Cause on or after a Change of Control occurs. 
  

	 	(b)	Without further action by the Committee or the Board, 

 all unvested Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted
Stock Units shall fully vest upon the Participant’s Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause occurring on or after a Change of Control. Such newly vested Restricted Stock Units shall be converted to Stock and the Participant
shall be issued the requisite number of shares, after any withholding under Section 12, as soon as administratively practicable after the Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause on or after a Change of Control occurs, unless
the Participant had elected to defer Restricted Stock Units to the Deferred Delivery Plan in which case the Participant’s account in the Deferred Delivery Plan shall be credited with deferred Restricted Stock Units as of the date of the
Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause on or after the Change of Control occurs. 

  
 26 

	 	(c)	Assuming the achievement of a Performance Goal, the entitlement to receive cash and Stock under any outstanding Performance Award grants shall vest automatically, without further action by the Committee or the Board,
and shall become payable as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	If such Change of Control occurs subsequent to the achievement of a Performance Goal, any remainder of such payout amount shall vest as of the date of the Participant’s Involuntary Termination or Voluntary
Termination with Cause occurring on or after the date of such Change of Control and shall be paid by the Company to the Participant within thirty (30) days of the date of such Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause which
occurs on or after the date of the Change of Control in the manner set out in subsection 13.1 hereof. 

  

	 	(ii)	If such Change of Control occurs prior to the achievement of a Performance Goal, the applicable payout amount shall vest in full for which the Performance Period has not yet ended as of the date of the
Participant’s Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause occurring on or after such Change of Control and shall be paid by the Company to the Participant within thirty (30) days after the later of (1) the date of the
Participant’s Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause or (2) the date that the Performance Period ends. The payment will occur only if the Participant is employed at the time that the Performance Period ends or if the
Performance Period ends after the Participant’s Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination with Cause occurring on or after the Change of Control. For purposes of this paragraph, the Committee shall determine whether, and to what extent,
any such Performance Goal has been met as of the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Change of Control. 

  

	 	(iii)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, all Performance Awards will be governed by the Award agreement, including, but not limited to, the determination of the payment amount, vesting,
and the timing of such payment. 

  

	 	(d)	To the extent that any Award is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the Award shall contain appropriate provisions to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, which shall supersede the
provisions of subsections (a), (b), and (c). 

  
 27 

 Section 14 

Reorganization or Liquidation 
 In the event that
the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation and the Company is not the surviving corporation, or if all or substantially all of the assets or more than 20 percent of the outstanding voting stock of the Company is acquired by any
other corporation, business entity, or person, or in case of a reorganization (other than a reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or liquidation of the Company, then the Committee, or the board of directors of any corporation
assuming the obligations of the Company, shall, as to the Plan and outstanding Awards make appropriate provision for the adoption and continuation of the Plan by the acquiring or successor corporation and for the protection of any holders of such
outstanding Awards by the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate stock of the Company or of the merged, consolidated, or otherwise reorganized corporation which will be issuable with respect to the Stock. Additionally, upon the occurrence
of such an event and provided that a Performance Goal has occurred, upon written notice to the Participants, the Committee may accelerate the vesting and payment dates of the entitlement to receive cash and Stock under outstanding Awards so that all
such existing entitlements are paid prior to any such event. If a Performance Goal has not yet been attained, the Committee in its discretion may make equitable payment or adjustment. 

In its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the terms of an agreement applicable to any
Award or by resolution adopted prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control or an event described in this Section 14, that any outstanding Award (or portion thereof) shall be converted into a right to receive cash, on or as soon as
practicable following the closing date or expiration date of the transaction resulting in the Change of Control or such event in an amount equal to the highest value of the consideration to be received in connection with such transaction for one
share of Stock, or, if higher, the highest Fair Market Value of a share of Stock during the thirty (30) consecutive business days immediately prior to the closing date or expiration date of such transaction, less the per-share Option Price or
grant price of SARs, as applicable to the Award, multiplied by the number of shares subject to such Award, or the applicable portion thereof. 

Section 15 
 Rights of
Employees and Participants 
 15.1 Employment. Neither anything contained in the Plan or any agreement nor the granting of any Award under the
Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by the Company or any Affiliate, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate, at any time, to terminate such
employment or to increase or decrease the level of the Participant’s compensation from the level in existence at the time of the Award. 
 An Eligible
Person who has been granted an Award in one year shall not necessarily be entitled to be granted Awards in subsequent years. 
 15.2
Non-transferability. Except as otherwise determined at any time by the Committee as to any Awards other than ISOs, no right or interest of any Participant in an Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be assignable or transferable
during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or subjected to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, 

  
 28 

 
or otherwise, including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy, or court order; provided that the Committee may permit further transferability of Awards other than
ISOs, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability, subject to any applicable Restriction Period; provided further, however, that no Award may be transferred for
value or other consideration without first obtaining approval thereof by the stockholders of the Company. In the event of a Participant’s death, a Participant’s rights and interests in any Award as set forth in an Award agreement, shall be
transferable by testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, with respect to Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, a beneficiary designation that is in a form approved by the Committee and in compliance with the provisions of
this Plan, applicable law, and the applicable Award agreement, and payment of any entitlements due under the Plan shall be made to the Participant’s designated beneficiary, legal representatives, heirs, or legatees, as applicable. If in the
opinion of the Committee a person entitled to payments or to exercise rights with respect to the Plan is disabled from caring for his or her affairs because of mental condition, physical condition, or age, payment due such person may be made to, and
such rights shall be exercised by, such person’s guardian, conservator, or other legal personal representative upon furnishing the Committee with evidence satisfactory to the Committee of such status. If any individual entitled to payment or to
exercise rights with respect to the Plan is a minor, the Committee shall cause the payment to be made to (or the right to be exercised by) the custodian or representative who, under the state law of the minor’s domicile, is authorized to act on
behalf of the minor or is authorized to receive funds on behalf of the minor. With respect to those Awards, if any, that are permitted to be transferred to another individual, references in the Plan to exercise or payment related to such Awards by
or to the Participant shall be deemed to include, as determined by the Committee, the Participant’s permitted transferee. A Participant’s unexercised Option or SAR, or amounts due but remaining unpaid to such Participant, at the
Participant’s death, shall be exercised or paid as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or, with respect to any unexercised Option or SAR other than an Incentive Stock Option, in accordance with the
Participant’s beneficiary designation in a form approved by the Committee and in compliance with the provisions of this Plan, applicable law and the applicable Award agreement. In the event any Award is exercised by or otherwise paid to the
executors, administrators, heirs, or distributees of the estate of a deceased Participant, or the transferee or designated beneficiary of an Award, in any such case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award agreement
and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be specified from time to time by the Committee, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue shares of Stock thereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied, as determined in the
discretion of the Committee, that the person or persons exercising such Award, or to receive such payment, are the duly appointed legal representative of the deceased Participant’s estate or the proper legatees or distributees thereof, or the
valid transferee or designated beneficiary of such Award, as applicable. Any purported assignment, transfer, or encumbrance of an Award that does not comply with this Section 15.2 shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. 

15.3 Noncompliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. If an Award is subject to the requirements of Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A, to the extent that the Company or an Affiliate takes any action that causes a violation of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A or fails to take reasonable actions required to comply with Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A, in each case as determined by the Committee, the Company shall pay an additional amount to the 

  
 29 

 
Participant (or beneficiary) equal to the additional income tax imposed pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A on the Participant as a result of such violation, plus any taxes
imposed on this additional payment. 
 Section 16 

Other Employee Benefits 
 The amount of any
income deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of the payment under an Award or exercise shall not constitute “earnings” or “compensation” with respect to which any other employee benefits of such Participant are
determined, including without limitation benefits under any pension, profit sharing, life insurance, or salary continuation plan. 

Section 17 
 Amendment,
Modification, and Termination 
 The Committee or the Board may at any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or modify the Plan, and the Committee
or the Board may, to the extent permitted by the Plan, from time to time amend or modify the terms of any Award theretofore granted, including any Award agreement, in each case, retroactively or prospectively; provided, however, that
no amendment or modification of the Plan may become effective without approval of the amendment or modification by the Company’s stockholders if stockholder approval is required to enable the Plan to satisfy an applicable statutory or
regulatory requirements, unless the Company, on the advice of outside counsel, determines that stockholder approval is not necessary. 
 Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan, no amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan or any Award shall adversely affect the previously accrued material rights or benefits of a Participant under any outstanding Award theretofore awarded under the
Plan, without the consent of such Participant holding such Award, except to the extent necessary to avoid a violation of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A or the Board or the Committee determines, on advice of outside counsel or the
Company’s independent accountants, that such amendment or modification is required for the Company, the Plan, or the Award to satisfy, comply with, or meet the requirements of any law, regulation, listing rule, or accounting standard applicable
to the Company. 
 The Committee shall have the authority to adopt (without the necessity for further stockholder approval) such modifications, procedures,
and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with the provisions of the laws (including, but not limited to, tax laws and regulations) of countries other than the United States in which the Company may operate, so as to assure the
viability of the benefits of the Plan to Participants employed in such countries.

 Section 18 

Requirements of Law 
 18.1 Requirements of
Law. The issuance of Stock and the payment of cash pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company may require a Participant, as a
condition of receiving payment under an Award, to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to such effect as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable
state securities laws. 
 18.2 Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that this Plan shall comply with the provisions of, or an
exemption from, Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations relating thereto. Awards are intended to be exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A to the extent possible. Any Award or payment that qualifies for an
exemption shall be considered as the first payment(s) made under the Plan. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Plan shall be
treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the deferral election rules and the exemption for certain short-term deferral amounts under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. In no event may the Participant, directly or
indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A under this Plan. 
 Six-Month Delay for
Specified Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, to the extent that the right to any payment (including the provision of benefits) hereunder provides for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(d)(1), the payment shall be paid (or provided) in accordance with the following: If the Participant is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (the “Separation Date”), and if an exemption from the six (6) month delay requirement of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) is not available, then
no such payment shall be made or commence during the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on the date that is six months following the Separation Date or, if earlier, on the date of the Participant’s death. The amount of any
payment that would otherwise be paid to the Participant during this period shall instead be paid to the Participant on the first day of the first calendar month following the end of the period. 

Prohibition on Acceleration. Unless a payment is exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the date of payment may not be
accelerated and any payment made pursuant to the termination and liquidation of the Plan shall not be accelerated except in compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A generally and Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)
specifically. 
 18.3 Section 16 Requirements. If a Participant is an officer or director of the Company within the meaning of Section 16
of the Exchange Act, Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to all conditions required under Rule 16b-3, or any successor rule(s) promulgated under the Exchange Act, to qualify the Award for any exemption from the provisions of Section 16
available under such Rule. Such conditions are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall be set forth in the agreement with the Participant, which describes the Award. 

18.4 Governing Law. The Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
