the ability of the Company and its Affiliates to attract and retain key individuals who are essential to the progress, growth and profitability of the Company. 
 1.3 Duration of Plan. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten years from the Effective Date. After the Plan is terminated, no Awards may be granted but

 ARTICLE IV 

GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO AWARDS 
 4.1 Authority to Grant Awards. The Committee may grant Awards to those Employees and Directors as the Committee shall from time to time determine, under the terms and conditions of the
Plan. Subject only to any applicable limitations set out in the Plan, the number of shares of Stock or other value to be covered by any Award to be granted under the Plan shall be as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

4.2 Dedicated Shares; Maximum Awards.  

(a) Number of Shares of Stock Dedicated under the Plan for Awards. 

(i) The aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan is 28,400,000.

 (ii) The aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which ISOs may be granted under the Plan is
2,000,000. 
 (iii) The maximum value of all Awards that may be granted to a Director in a single Fiscal
Year is $600,000 (for purposes of this subsection (a)(iii), the “value” of each Award to a Director in a particular Fiscal Year shall be as determined by the Committee). 

(b) Annual Award Limits. Unless and until the Committee determines that an Award to a Covered Employee shall
not be designed to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the following limits (each an “Annual Award Limit” and, collectively, “Annual Award Limits”) shall apply to grants of such Awards under
the Plan: 
 (i) The maximum number of shares of Stock with respect to which Options or SARs may be
granted to a Participant during a Fiscal Year is 1,000,000, plus the amount of the Participant’s unused applicable Annual Award Limit for Options and SARs as of the close of the previous Fiscal Year. 

(ii) The maximum number of shares of Stock with respect to which Performance Stock Awards or Performance Unit Awards
may be granted to an Employee during a Fiscal Year is 400,000. 
 (c) Share Usage. 

(i) Each of the foregoing numerical limits stated in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) shall be subject to adjustment
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5. The numbers of shares of Stock stated in this Section 4.2 shall also be increased by such number of shares of Stock as become subject to substitute Awards granted pursuant to
Article XII; provided, however, that such increase shall be conditioned upon the approval of the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is required by law or applicable stock exchange rules. 

(ii) Shares of Stock covered by, or in respect of, any Full Value Award granted on or after the Effective Date shall
be counted against the aggregate share limit for Awards set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i) as 2.45 shares for every one share covered by, or in respect of, such Full Value Award. (For example, if 100 shares of Stock are issued in connection with a
Restricted Stock Award, 245 shares shall be counted against the aggregate share limit for Awards set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i) in connection with such Restricted Stock Award.) Shares of Stock covered by, or in respect of, any Full Value Award
granted prior to the Effective Date or any other Award (i.e., that is not a Full Value Award) shall be counted against the aggregate share limit for Awards set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i) as one share. 

(iii) Any Awards that operate in tandem with (whether granted simultaneously with or at a different time from) other
Awards may be counted or not counted pursuant to procedures adopted by the Committee in order to avoid double counting. 
 (iv) If any shares of Stock covered by an Award, or to which an Award relates, are not delivered pursuant to the Plan because such Award is forfeited or cancelled in accordance with the terms of such
Award and the Plan, then, to the extent of such forfeiture or cancellation, the shares of Stock covered by such Award or to which such Award relates, or in the case of a Full Value Award granted on or after the Effective Date the number of shares of
Stock otherwise counted against the aggregate share limit for Awards set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i) (as described in subsection (ii) above), shall not count against the aggregate share limit for Awards set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i)
and shall again be available for Awards under the Plan. 

  
 6 

 (v) If shares of Stock are withheld from payment of an Award to satisfy
tax obligations with respect to such Award or are deemed tendered in payment of the Option Price of an Option to which such shares relate, such shares of Stock shall count against the aggregate share limit for Awards set forth in
Section 4.2(a)(i) and shall not be available for Awards under the Plan. When a SAR is settled in shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock subject to the SAR under the SAR Award Agreement will be counted against the aggregate share limit
for Awards under the Plan set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i) 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 Non-Transferability. From and after the Effective Date, an Award shall not be transferable by the Holder
other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, or, if specifically approved by the Committee, pursuant to a domestic relations court order. A Holder may designate, in a manner established by the Committee, a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Holder and to receive any property distributable with respect to any Award upon the death of the Holder. An Award shall be exercisable, during the Holder’s lifetime, only by him or her, or his or her
attorney in fact or guardian; by a permitted transferee in the case of a permitted transfer; and by the Holder’s executor, administrator or beneficiary in the case of death. 

4.4 Requirements of Law. The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Award if
issuing those shares of Stock would constitute or result in a violation by the Holder or the Company of any provision of any law, statute or regulation of any governmental authority. Specifically, in connection with any applicable statute or
regulation relating to the registration of securities, upon exercise of any Option or pursuant to any other Award, the Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Stock unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it to the
effect that the Holder will not transfer the shares of Stock except in accordance with applicable law, including receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that any proposed transfer complies with applicable law. The
determination by the Committee on this matter shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any shares of Stock covered by the Plan pursuant to applicable securities laws of any country or
any political subdivision. In the event the shares of Stock issuable on exercise of an Option or pursuant to any other Award are not registered, the Company may imprint on the certificate evidencing the shares of Stock any legend that counsel for
the Company considers necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law, or, should the shares of Stock be represented by book or electronic entry rather than a certificate, the Company may take such steps to restrict transfer of the shares of
Stock as counsel for the Company considers necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to cause or enable the exercise of an Option or any other Award, or the
issuance of shares of Stock pursuant thereto, to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. 

4.5 Changes in the Company’s Capital Structure.  

(a) The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference shares ahead of or affecting the Stock or Stock rights, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether
of a similar character or otherwise. 
 (b) If the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of
Stock or other capital readjustment, the payment of a Stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or property, then (1) the number,
class or series and per share price of Stock subject to outstanding Options or other Awards under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted in such a manner as to entitle a Holder to receive upon exercise of an Option or other Award, for the same
aggregate cash consideration, the equivalent total number and class or series of Stock the Holder would have received had the Holder exercised his or her Option or other Award in full immediately prior to the event requiring the adjustment, and
(2) the number and class or series of Stock then reserved to be issued under the Plan shall be adjusted by substituting for the total number and class or series of Stock then reserved, that number and class or series of Stock that would have
been received by the owner of an equal number of outstanding shares of Stock of each class or series of Stock as the result of the event requiring the adjustment. 

  
 7 

 (c) If while unexercised Options or other Awards remain outstanding
under the Plan (1) the Company shall not be the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation or other reorganization (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity other than an entity that was wholly-owned by the Company immediately prior to
such merger, consolidation or other reorganization); (2) the Company sells, leases or exchanges or agrees to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity (other than an entity wholly-owned by the
Company); (3) the Company is to be dissolved; or (4) the Company is a party to any other corporate transaction (as defined under section 424(a) of the Code and applicable Department of Treasury regulations) that is not described in
clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this sentence (each such event is referred to herein as a “Corporate Change”), then, except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or another agreement between the Holder and the
Company (provided that such exceptions shall not apply in the case of a reincorporation merger), or as a result of the Committee’s effectuation of one or more of the alternatives described below, there shall be no acceleration of the time at
which any Award then outstanding may be exercised, and no later than ten days after the approval by the stockholders of the Company of such Corporate Change, the Committee, acting in its sole and absolute discretion without the consent or approval
of any Holder, shall act to effect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual Holders and which may vary among Awards held by any individual Holder (provided that, with respect to a reincorporation merger in which
Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares will receive one ordinary share of the successor corporation for each ordinary share of the Company, none of such alternatives shall apply and, without Committee action, each Award shall automatically
convert into a similar award of the successor corporation exercisable for the same number of ordinary shares of the successor as the Award was exercisable for ordinary shares of Stock of the Company): 

(1) accelerate the time at which some or all of the Awards then outstanding may be exercised so that such Awards may
be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a specified date (before or after such Corporate Change) fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all such Awards that remain unexercised and all rights of Holders thereunder
shall terminate; 
 (2) require the mandatory surrender to the Company by all or selected Holders of some or
all of the then outstanding Awards held by such Holders (irrespective of whether such Awards are then exercisable under the provisions of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement evidencing such Award) as of a date, before or after such Corporate
Change, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Award and the Company shall pay to each such Holder an amount of cash per share equal to the excess, if any, of the per share price offered to stockholders
of the Company in connection with such Corporate Change over the exercise prices under such Award for such shares; 
 (3) with respect to all or selected Holders, have some or all of their then outstanding Awards (whether vested or unvested) assumed or have a new award of a similar nature substituted for some or all
of their then outstanding Awards under the Plan (whether vested or unvested) by an entity which is a party to the transaction resulting in such Corporate Change and which is then employing such Holder or which is affiliated or associated with such
Holder in the same or a substantially similar manner as the Company prior to the Corporate Change, or a parent or subsidiary of such entity, provided that (A) such assumption or substitution is on a basis where the excess of the aggregate Fair
Market Value of all Stock subject to the Award immediately after the assumption or substitution over the aggregate exercise price of such Stock is equal to the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Stock subject to the Award immediately
before such assumption or substitution over the aggregate exercise price of such Stock, and (B) the assumed rights under such existing Award or the substituted rights under such new Award, as the case may be, will have the same terms and
conditions as the rights under the existing Award assumed or substituted for, as the case may be; 

(4) provide that the number and class or series of Stock covered by an Award (whether vested or unvested) theretofore
granted shall be adjusted so that such Award when exercised shall thereafter cover the number and class or series of Stock or other securities or property (including, without limitation, cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to
the terms of the agreement or plan relating to such Corporate Change if, immediately prior to such Corporate Change, the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock then covered by such Award; or 

(5) make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Corporate
Change (provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that no such adjustment is necessary to reflect such Corporate Change). 

Any adjustment effected by the Committee under this Section 4.5 shall be designed to provide the Holder with the
intrinsic value of his or her Award, as determined prior to the Corporate Change, or, if applicable, equalize the Fair Market Value of the Award before and after the Corporate Change. 

In effecting one or more of the alternatives set out in paragraphs (3), (4) or (5) immediately above, and
except as otherwise may be provided in an Award Agreement, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent or approval of any Holder, may accelerate the time at which some or all Awards then outstanding may be exercised.

  
 8 

 To the extent that a Corporate Change also constitutes as a Change in
Control of the Company, then the provisions of Article XIII shall govern in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 4.5 and Article XIII. 
 (d) In the event of changes in the outstanding Stock by reason of recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization
occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Section 4.5, any outstanding Award and any Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee in its sole and absolute
discretion as to the number and price of Stock or other consideration subject to such Award. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Stock, the aggregate number of shares of Stock available under the Plan may be appropriately adjusted by
the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. 
 (e) After a merger of one or more corporations
into the Company or after a consolidation of the Company and one or more corporations in which the Company shall be the surviving corporation, each Holder shall be entitled to have his Restricted Stock appropriately adjusted based on the manner in
which the shares of Stock were adjusted under the terms of the agreement of merger or consolidation. 

(f) The issuance by the Company of stock of any class or series, or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for,
stock of any class or series, for cash or property, or for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe for them, or upon conversion or exchange of stock or obligations of the Company convertible
into, or exchangeable for, stock or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason of such issuance shall be made with respect to, the number, class or series, or price of shares of Stock then subject to outstanding Options or other
Awards. 
 4.6 Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. Except as specified in an applicable Award
Agreement, no Holder shall exercise the election permitted under section 83(b) of the Code with respect to any Award. 

4.7 Forfeiture for Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement, if a
Participant Separates From Service based on a Termination for Cause, then as of the date of such separation, any Awards awarded to the Holder that have not been exercised by the Holder (including all Awards that have not yet vested) will be
forfeited to the Company. The findings and decision of the Committee or the Board, if applicable, with respect to such matter, including those regarding the acts of the Holder and the damage done to the Company, will be final for all purposes. No
decision of the Committee, however, will affect the finality of the discharge of the individual by the Company or an Affiliate. 

4.8 Forfeiture Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Holder’s rights, payments, and
benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such
events may include, but shall not be limited to, Termination for Cause, termination of the Holder’s provision of services to the Company or its Affiliates, Involuntary Termination for performance reasons (as determined and designated by an
appropriate Employee), violation of material policies of the Company and its Affiliates, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Holder, or other conduct by the Holder that is detrimental to
the business or reputation of the Company and its Affiliates. 
 4.9 Award Agreements. Each Award shall be
embodied in a written or electronic agreement that shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Award Agreement shall be in such form as determined by the Committee, and a Holder may be required to sign the Award Agreement to the
extent the Committee determines, in its sole discretion. The Award Agreement may contain any other provisions that the Committee in its discretion shall deem advisable which are not inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan. 

4.10 Amendments of Award Agreements. The terms of any outstanding Award under the Plan may be amended from time to time
by the Committee in its discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate and that is consistent with the terms of the Plan. However, no such amendment shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of a Holder without his or her written
consent. Except as specified in Section 4.5, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Committee shall not (a) directly or indirectly lower the Option Price of a previously granted Option, (b) cancel
(1) an Option when the Option Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Stock or (2) a SAR when the grant price of the SAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock in respect of which the SAR was granted,
in either case in exchange for another Award (other than in connection with substitute Awards), cash or other property or (c) take any other action with respect to an Option that may be treated as a “repricing” under the rules and
regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other principal national securities exchange on which the Company is then listed). 
 4.11 Rights as Stockholder. A Holder shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to Stock covered by an Option, a SAR, an RSU, a Performance Unit, or an Other Stock-Based
Award until the date, if any, such Stock is issued by the Company. 
 4.12 Issuance of Shares of Stock. Shares
of Stock, when issued, may be represented by a certificate or by book or electronic entry. 

  
 9 

 4.13 Restrictions on Stock Received. The Committee may impose such
conditions and/or restrictions on any shares of Stock issued pursuant to an Award as it may deem advisable or desirable. These restrictions may include, but shall not be limited to, a requirement that the Holder hold the shares of Stock for a
specified period of time. 
 4.14 Compliance With Section 409A. Awards shall be designed and operated in
such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A and shall be
construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A, the Award shall be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner intended to
meet the requirements of Section 409A, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto. In addition, to the extent an Award is subject to Section 409A, a Holder’s payment under such an Award shall be made at such
time as is specified in the applicable Award Agreement. The Award Agreement shall specify that the payment will be made (1) by a date that is no later than the date that is two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the end of the Fiscal Year in
which the Award payment is no longer subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture or (2) at a time that is Permissible under Section 409A, including any six-month delay in payment following Separation from Service that is required as a
result of the Holder being a “specified employee” of the Company (as such term is defined in Section 409A). 

4.15 Date of Grant. The date on which an Option or SAR is granted shall be the date the Company completes the corporate
action constituting an offer of stock for sale to an individual Holder under the terms and conditions of the Option or SAR; provided that such corporate action shall not be considered complete until the date on which the maximum number
of shares that can be purchased under the Option granted to such Holder and the minimum Option price are fixed or determinable. If the corporate action contemplates an immediate offer of stock for sale to a class of individuals, then the date of the
granting of an Option is the time or date of that corporate action, if the offer is to be made immediately. If the corporate action contemplates a particular date on which the offer is to be made, then the date of grant is the contemplated date of
the offer. 
 4.16 Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards, in the discretion of the
Committee, may be granted either alone or in addition to, or in tandem with any other Award or any Award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or
in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Award or Awards. 

4.17 Vesting and Acceleration Limitations. Awards which are not granted or maintained in accordance with the following
provisions shall be limited in the aggregate to five percent (5%) of the shares authorized under the Plan: 

(a) except for Awards to the Company’s Canadian employees, Full Value Awards which vest based on service will
vest no more favorably than one-third each year, with total vesting not occurring in less than three (3) years (not including any part of an Award for which vesting is accelerated under the terms of the Award Agreement and Section 16.3 to
cover the Holder’s Withholding Obligation), and performance-based Full Value Awards will have a minimum performance period of one (1) year; and 
 (b) neither the Committee nor any other authorized delegate of the Board or Committee shall accelerate the exercisability of Options, SARs or other Awards or waive vesting periods of any Awards
except in the case of death, Disability, Retirement or Change in Control of the Company. 

4.18 Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, any Award that is
subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required pursuant to such law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement, or
to any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement. 

ARTICLE V 
 OPTIONS 
 5.1 Authority to Grant Options. Subject to the
terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time, and from time to time, may grant Options under the Plan to eligible persons in such number and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine; provided that ISOs may be granted
only to eligible Employees of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary corporation (as permitted by section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder). 
 5.2 Option Agreement. Each Option grant under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify (a) the Option Price, (b) the duration of the Option,
(c) the number of shares of Stock to which the Option pertains, (d) the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option and (e) such other provisions as the Committee shall determine that are not inconsistent with the terms
and provisions of the Plan. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or a NQSO. In no event shall an Award Agreement provide that dividends or dividend equivalents be paid to, or credited for the benefit of,
the Holder in respect of an Option grant. 

  
 10 

 5.3 Option Price. The price at which shares of Stock may be purchased under
an Option (the “Option Price”) shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, if the Option is an ISO
granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, the Option Price must not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the date of grant. Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentences of
this Section 5.3, the Committee shall determine the Option Price for each grant of an Option under the Plan. 
 5.4 Duration of Option. An Option shall not be exercisable after the earlier of (i) the general term of the Option specified in the applicable Award Agreement (which shall not exceed
seven years, or, in the case of a Ten Percent Stockholder, no ISO shall be exercisable later than the fifth
(5th) anniversary of the date of its grant) or
(ii) the period of time specified in the applicable Award Agreement that follows the Holder’s Separation from Service. 
 5.5 Amount Exercisable. Each Option may be exercised at the time, in the manner and subject to the conditions the Committee specifies in the Award Agreement in its sole discretion.

 5.6 Exercise of Option.  
 (a) General Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, Options may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time by the
delivery of written, telephonic, or electronic notice or in such other manner or means as determined by the Committee. Unless the Committee specifies otherwise, Options may be exercised through a broker financed exercise pursuant to the provisions
of Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board (“Cashless Exercise”). 
 (b) Form
of Payment. Except in the case of a Cashless Exercise, no shares of Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of an Option until there has been a payment of the Option Price and any applicable Withholding Obligation to the Company by any
combination of the following: (a) cash, certified check, bank draft or postal or express money order for an amount equal to the Option Price under the Option; (b) delivery of, or attestation (i.e., certification) of ownership of,
currently-owned and unencumbered shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued for this purpose at the average Fair Market Value for the five (5) trading days preceding the date such Option is exercised; (c) through a net exercise
procedure whereby the Holder surrenders the Option in exchange for that number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the difference between the aggregate exercise price of the Option being surrendered and the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Option; or (d) any other form of payment which is acceptable to the Committee. 
 5.7 Transferability–Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, no ISO granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all ISOs granted to an Employee under this Article V shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such
Employee. 
 5.8 Notification of Disqualifying Disposition. If any Employee shall make any disposition of
shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an ISO under the circumstances described in section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Employee shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten
(10) days thereof. 
 5.9 $100,000 Limitation on ISOs. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value
of shares of Stock with respect to which ISOs first become exercisable by a Holder in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both shares of Stock subject to ISOs under the Plan and Stock subject to ISOs under all other plans of the
Company, such Options shall be treated as NQSOs. For this purpose, the “Fair Market Value” of the shares of Stock subject to Options shall be determined as of the date the Options were awarded. In reducing the number of Options treated as
ISOs to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted Options shall be reduced first. To the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted Options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Committee may, in the manner and to the extent
permitted by law, designate which shares of Stock are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. 

5.10 Separation from Service. Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Holder of an Option shall
have the right to exercise the Option following the Holder’s Separation from Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Award Agreement or
the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for the separation. 

  
 11 

 ARTICLE VI 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 6.1 Authority to Grant SAR
Awards. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time, and from time to time, may grant SARs under the Plan to eligible persons in such number and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. Subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of SARs granted to each Holder and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such
SARs. 
 6.2 General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR granted under the Plan shall
confer on the recipient a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (b) the grant price of the SAR, which shall not be less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of grant of the SAR. 

6.3 SAR Agreement. Each Award of SARs granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify
(a) the grant price of the SAR, (b) the term of the SAR, (c) the vesting and termination provisions of the SAR and (d) such other provisions as the Committee shall determine that are not inconsistent with the terms and provisions
of the Plan. The Committee may impose such additional conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any SAR as it may deem appropriate. In no event shall an Award Agreement provide that dividends or dividend equivalents be paid to, or credited for
the benefit of, the Holder in respect of an Award of SARs. 
 6.4 Term of SAR. The term of a SAR granted under
the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided that no SAR shall be exercisable on or after the seventh anniversary date of its grant. 
 6.5 Exercise of SAR. A SAR may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in its sole discretion, imposes. 

6.6 Payment of SAR Amount. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a Holder shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in
an amount determined by multiplying the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the discretion of the
Committee, the payment upon the exercise of a SAR may be in cash, in Stock of equivalent value, in some combination thereof or in any other manner approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee’s determination regarding the
form of SAR payout shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the SAR. 
 6.7 Separation from
Service. Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Holder of a SAR shall have the right to exercise the SAR following the Holder’s Separation from Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion
of the Committee, need not be uniform among all SARs issued pursuant to the Award Agreement or the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for the separation. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

7.1 Authority to Grant Restricted Stock Awards. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the
Committee, at any time, and from time to time, may grant Awards of Restricted Stock under the Plan to eligible persons in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. The amount of, the vesting and the transferability
restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. If the Committee imposes vesting or transferability restrictions on a Holder’s rights with respect to Restricted Stock, the
Committee may issue such instructions to the Company’s share transfer agent in connection therewith as it deems appropriate. The Committee may also cause the certificate for shares of Stock issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award to be
imprinted with any legend which counsel for the Company considers advisable with respect to the restrictions or, should the shares of Stock be represented by book or electronic entry rather than a certificate, the Company may take such steps to
restrict transfer of the shares of Stock as counsel for the Company considers necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law. 
 7.2 Restricted Stock Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that contains any vesting, transferability restrictions and other provisions not
inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee may specify. 

  
 12

conditions of the Plan, each recipient of a Restricted Stock Award shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock included in the Restricted Stock Award during the Period of Restriction established for the
Restricted Stock Award, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Shares of Restricted Stock. 

7.4 Separation from Service. Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which Restricted Stock Awards shall vest
or be forfeited upon the Holder’s Separation from Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Restricted Stock Awards issued pursuant to the Award Agreement or the Plan,
and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for separation. 
 7.5 Dividends. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement and any procedures established by the Committee, all dividends and distributions in respect of unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall not be paid to the Holder of such shares, but shall be
credited by the Company for the benefit of the Holder. The Company shall establish and maintain a nominal account for each Holder of unvested shares of Restricted Stock and shall reflect in such account the cash amount comprising the dividends and
distributions credited in respect of such unvested shares of Restricted Stock. At such time as unrestricted shares of Stock are delivered to the Holder upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Award, all credited cash amounts in respect of such shares
shall be paid to the Holder. Interest shall not accrue or be paid on any such credited amounts. Dividends and distributions credited by the Company in respect of an unvested Restricted Stock Award shall be forfeited in the same manner and at the
same time as the Restricted Stock Award to which such dividends and distributions are attributable is forfeited. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS 
 8.1 Authority to Grant RSU
Awards. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time, and from time to time, may grant RSU Awards under the Plan to eligible persons in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. The
amount of, the vesting and the transferability restrictions applicable to any RSU Award shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall maintain a bookkeeping ledger account which reflects the number of RSUs credited
under the Plan for the benefit of a Holder. 
 8.2 RSU Award. An RSU Award shall be similar in nature to a
Restricted Stock Award except that no shares of Stock are actually transferred to the Holder until a later date specified in the applicable Award Agreement. On the date of settlement, each RSU shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock on such date. 
 8.3 RSU Award Agreement. Each RSU Award shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement that contains any Substantial Risk of Forfeiture, transferability restrictions, form and time of payment provisions and other provisions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee may specify. 

8.4 Form of Payment Under RSU Award. Payment under an RSU Award shall be made in either cash or shares of Stock as
specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 8.5 Separation from Service. Each Award Agreement shall set
forth the extent to which RSU Awards shall vest or be forfeited upon the Holder’s Separation from Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all RSU Awards issued pursuant to
the Award Agreement or the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for separation. 

8.6 Dividends. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement and any procedures
established by the Committee, all dividends and distributions in respect of the shares of Stock underlying each unvested RSU Award shall not be paid to the Holder of such RSU Award, but shall be credited by the Company for the benefit of the Holder.
The Company shall establish and maintain a nominal account for each Holder of an unvested RSU Award and shall reflect in such account the cash amount comprising the dividends and distributions credited in respect of the shares of Stock underlying
the Holder’s unvested RSU Award. At such time as shares of Stock are delivered to the Holder upon the vesting of the RSU Award, all credited cash amounts in respect of such vested RSU Award shall be paid to the Holder. Interest shall not accrue
or be paid on any such credited amounts. Dividends and distributions credited by the Company in respect of an unvested RSU Award shall be forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the RSU Award to which such dividends and distributions
are attributable is forfeited.

 ARTICLE IX 

PERFORMANCE STOCK AWARDS AND PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARDS 
 9.1 Authority to Grant Performance Stock Awards and Performance Unit Awards. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time, and from time to time, may grant
Performance Stock Awards and Performance Unit Awards under the Plan to eligible persons in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. The amount of, the vesting and the transferability restrictions applicable to any
Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award shall be based upon the attainment of such Performance Goals as the Committee may determine. If the Committee imposes vesting or transferability restrictions on a Holder’s rights with respect to
Performance Stock or Performance Unit Awards, the Committee may issue such instructions to the Company’s share transfer agent in connection therewith as it deems appropriate. The Committee may also cause the certificate for shares of Stock
issued pursuant to a Performance Stock or Performance Unit Award to be imprinted with any legend which counsel for the Company considers advisable with respect to the restrictions or, should the shares of Stock be represented by book or electronic
entry rather than a certificate, the Company may take such steps to restrict transfer of the shares of Stock as counsel for the Company considers necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law. 

9.2 Performance Goals. Unless and until the Committee proposes for stockholder vote and the stockholders approve a
change in the general Performance Goals set forth in this Article IX, the Performance Goals upon which the issuance, payment or vesting of an Award to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be
limited to one or more of the following Performance Goals, which may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to the Holder, one or more business units of the Company, or the Company as a whole: total stockholder return; revenue; net
income; adjusted non-GAAP net income; GAAP earnings per share; non-GAAP earnings per share; stock price; stock price performance; market share; after-tax rate of return on capital expenditures; return on capital employed; return on equity; return on
assets; operating income; earnings before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA); earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration costs, dry hole
costs and impairments (EBITDAX); earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration costs, dry hole costs, impairments and certain other adjustments (to match realizations to production settlement
months and/or to exclude non-recurring items) (Adjusted EBITDAX); forward-year cash flow multiple; cash flow; cash flow from operations; discretionary cash flow (non-GAAP); unit costs; cost reductions; production volume growth; reserve replacement
ratio; finding costs; debt-to-total capitalization ratio (GAAP); and/or net debt-to-total capitalization ratio (non-GAAP). Goals may also be measured or based on performance on an absolute basis, performance relative to a target or performance
relative to a specified group of peer companies. 
 Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Goal need not be based upon an
increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). Subject to this
Article IX and Section 162(m), the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Performance Stock or Performance Unit Awards made pursuant to the Plan shall be determined by the Committee. 

9.3 “Performance-Based Compensation” for Purposes of Section 162(m). With respect to any Award granted
under this Article IX to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify for Section 162(m)’s exemption for “performance-based compensation”: (a) the Performance Goal must be established within the timeframe specified by
Section 162(m) (specifically, prior to the earlier to occur of (i) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates or (ii) the lapse of 25 percent of the period of service, and in any
event while the outcome is substantially uncertain); (b) any applicable stockholder approval requirements of performance-based compensation must be met; (c) prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of Performance
Goals, the Committee must certify in writing that the applicable Performance Goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied; and (d) neither the Committee nor the Board may increase the amount payable under such Award.

 9.4 Written Agreement. Each Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement that contains any vesting, transferability restrictions and other provisions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee may specify. 
 9.5 Form of Payment Under Performance Unit Award. Payment under a Performance Unit Award shall be made in cash and/or shares of Stock as specified in the Holder’s Award Agreement.

 9.6 Holder’s Rights as Stockholder With Respect to a Performance Stock Award. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan or as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, each Holder of a Performance Stock Award shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock issued to the Holder pursuant to the Award during any
period in which such issued shares of Stock are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation, the right to vote such shares of Stock. 

  
 14 

 9.7 Dividends. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the
applicable Award Agreement and any procedures established by the Committee, all dividends and distributions in respect of unvested shares of Performance Stock or in respect of the shares of Stock underlying each unvested Performance Units Award
shall not be paid to the Holder of such shares or units, but shall be credited by the Company for the benefit of the Holder. The Company shall establish and maintain a nominal account for each Holder of unvested shares of Performance Stock or an
unvested Performance Units Award and shall reflect in such account the cash amount comprising the dividends and distributions credited in respect of such unvested shares of Performance Stock or such shares of Stock underlying the unvested
Performance Units Award (as the case may be). At such time as unrestricted shares of Stock are delivered to the Holder upon the vesting of a Performance Stock Award or shares of Stock are delivered to the Holder upon the vesting of a Performance
Units Award, all credited cash amounts in respect of such shares or units (as the case may be) shall be paid to the Holder. Interest shall not accrue or be paid on any such credited amounts. Dividends and distributions credited by the Company in
respect of unvested Performance Stock Awards or unvested Performance Units Awards shall be forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Performance Stock Award or Performance Units Award (as the case may be) to which such dividends and
distributions are attributable is forfeited.

Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant to eligible persons other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms and provisions of the Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted
shares of Stock) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine. Such Awards may involve the transfer of actual shares of Stock to Holders, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of
shares of Stock and may include, without limitation, Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States.

11.4 Separation from Service. The Committee shall determine the extent to which a Holder’s rights with respect to
Other Stock-Based Awards shall be affected by the Holder’s Separation from Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and need not be uniform among all Other Stock-Based Awards issued pursuant to the
Plan. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 SUBSTITUTION AWARDS 
 Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to
time in substitution for stock options and other awards held by employees of other entities who are about to become Employees, or whose employer is about to become an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another
corporation, or the acquisition by the Company of substantially all the assets of another corporation, or the acquisition by the Company of at least fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding stock of another corporation as the result of
which such other corporation will become an Affiliate. The terms and conditions of the substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan to such extent as the Board at the time of grant may deem appropriate to
conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the Award in substitution for which they are granted.

 ARTICLE XIII 

CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY 
 13.1 Change in Control of the Company. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws or by the rules and
regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, or unless the Committee shall determine otherwise in the Award Agreement: 
 (a) Any and all Options and SARs granted hereunder shall become immediately vested and exercisable upon the effective date of the Change in Control of the Company; 

(b) any Period of Restriction and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall lapse upon the
effective date of the Change in Control of the Company; 
 (c) the target payout opportunities attainable under
all outstanding Awards of Performance Stock and Performance Units shall be deemed to have been fully earned based on targeted performance being attained as of the effective date of the Change in Control of the Company; 

(i) The vesting of all Awards denominated in shares of Stock shall be accelerated as of the effective date of the Change
in Control of the Company, and shall be paid out to Participants within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Change in Control of the Company. The Committee has the authority to pay all or any portion of the value of the shares
of stock in cash; 
 (ii) Awards denominated in cash shall be paid to Participants in cash within thirty
(30) days following the effective date of the Change in Control of the Company; and 
 (d) unless otherwise
specifically provided in a written agreement entered into between the Participant and the Company, the Committee shall pay out all Other Stock-Based Awards. 
 (e) Subject to the acceleration of vesting of outstanding Options, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide that in the event of a Change in Control of the Company pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or
(c), no later than ten (10) days after the approval by the stockholders of the Company of such merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale, lease, or exchange or assets or dissolution or such election of directors, or in the event of a Change
in Control of the Company pursuant to Section 2.6(a), no later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Change in Control of the Company, that (i) Options may be exercised in full only for a limited period of time on or
before a specified date (before or after such Change in Control of the Company) fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and all rights of the Participants thereunder shall terminate, or (ii) require the
mandatory surrender to the Company by selected Participants of some or all of the outstanding Options held by such Participants as of a date, before or after such Change in Control of the Company, specified by the Committee, in which event the
Committee shall thereupon cancel such Options and the Company shall pay to each Participant an amount of cash per share of stock equal to the excess, if any of the “Change in Control of the Company Value” of the shares of
stock subject to such Option over the Option Price(s) under such Options for such shares of stock. 
 For the
purpose of this Section 13.1(e), “Change in Control of the Company Value” shall equal the amount determined in clause (i), (ii), or (iii), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the per share price of the Stock
offered to stockholders of the Company in any such merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale of assets, or dissolution transaction, (ii) the per share price of the Stock offered to stockholders of the Company in any tender offer or exchange
offer whereby a Change in Control of the Company takes place, or (iii) if such Change in Control of the Company occurs other than pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, the Fair Market Value per share of the shares in which such Options being
surrendered are exercisable, as determined by the Committee as of the date determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Options. In the event that the consideration offered to stockholders of the Company in any
transaction consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered which is other than cash. 
 13.2 Delay of Payment due to Section 409A. Notwithstanding Section 13.1, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Section 409A and if the Change of Control
definition contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control” for purposes of a distribution under Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Article
XIII shall be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be Permissible under Section 409A.

 ARTICLE XIV 

ADMINISTRATION 
 14.1 Awards. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee or, in the absence of the Committee, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. The members of the Committee shall serve at
the discretion of the Board. The Committee shall have full and exclusive power and authority to administer the Plan and to take all actions that the Plan expressly contemplates or are necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of
the Plan with respect to Awards granted under the Plan. 
 14.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall
have full and exclusive power to interpret and apply the terms and provisions of the Plan and Awards made under the Plan, and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for implementing the Plan as the Committee may deem necessary or proper,
all of which powers shall be exercised in the best interest of the Company and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business relating to the Plan or
Awards made under the Plan, and the vote of a majority of those members present at any meeting shall decide any question brought before that meeting. Any decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by a majority of the members shall be
as effective as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting properly called and held. All questions of interpretation and application of the Plan, or as to Awards granted under the Plan, shall be subject to the determination, which shall be
final and binding, of a majority of the whole Committee. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member of the Committee or for any act or omission on his own part, including but not limited to the exercise of
any power or discretion given to him under the Plan, except those resulting from his own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In carrying out its authority under the Plan, the Committee shall have full and final authority and discretion,
including but not limited to the following rights, powers and authorities to (a) determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which Awards will be made; (b) determine the number and exercise price, if any, of shares of Stock
covered in each Award subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan; (c) determine the terms, provisions and conditions of each Award, which need not be identical and need not match the default terms set forth in the Plan; (d) determine
whether, to what extent, under what circumstances and how Awards may be canceled, forfeited, or suspended; (e) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property, and
other amounts payable with respect to an Award under the Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the Holder thereof or of the Committee; (f) accelerate the time at which any outstanding Award will vest;
(g) interpret, construe and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; (h) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to administration of the Plan; (i) make a
determination as to the right of any person to receive payment of an Award or other benefit; and (j) make all other determinations and take all other actions deemed necessary, appropriate or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan.

 The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award to a
Holder in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to further the Plan’s objectives. Further, the Committee shall make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan. As permitted by law and the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of the Company, and/or its Affiliates or to one or more agents or advisors such administrative
duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any person to whom it has delegated duties or powers as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may
have under the Plan. The Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more officers of the Company to do one or both of the following on the same basis as can the Committee: (a) designate Employees to be recipients of Awards and
(b) determine the size of any such Awards; provided, however, (i) the Committee shall not delegate such responsibilities to any such officer for Awards granted to an Employee who is considered an Insider; (ii) the resolution
providing such authorization sets forth the total number of Awards such officer(s) may grant; and (iii) the officer(s) shall report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority
delegated. The Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, agents, and other persons, any of whom may be an Employee, and the Committee, the Company, and its officers and Board shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions, or
valuations of any such persons. 
 14.3 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the
Committee or the Board, as the case may be, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and all related orders and resolutions of the Committee or the Board, as the case may be, shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the
Company, its Affiliates, its stockholders, Holders and the estates and beneficiaries of Holders. 
 14.4 No
Liability. Under no circumstances shall the Company, its Affiliates, the Board or the Committee incur liability for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages (including lost profits) of any form incurred by any person,
whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the form of the act in which such a claim may be brought, with respect to the Plan or the Company’s, its Affiliates’, the Committee’s or the Board’s roles in connection with the Plan.

 ARTICLE XV 

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 15.1 Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination. Subject to Section 15.2, the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, modify, suspend, or terminate
the Plan and any Award Agreement in whole or in part; provided, however, that, no amendment of the Plan shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders if such stockholder approval is required by applicable law or stock
exchange rules and, except as provided in Section 4.5, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Committee shall not (a) directly or indirectly lower the Option Price of a previously granted Option, (b) cancel
(1) an Option when the Option Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Stock or (2) a SAR when the grant price of the SAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock in respect of which the SAR was granted,
in either case in exchange for another Award (other than in connection with substitute Awards), cash or other property or (c) take any other action with respect to an Option that may be treated as a “repricing” under the rules and
regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other principal national securities exchange on which the Company is then listed). 
 15.2 Awards Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect
in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Holder holding such Award. 

ARTICLE XVI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 16.1 Unfunded Plan/No Establishment of a Trust
Fund. Holders shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company or any of its Affiliates may make to aid in meeting obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken
pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Holder, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a
right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no
special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts, except as expressly set forth in the Plan. No property shall be set aside nor shall a trust fund of any kind be established
to secure the rights of any Holder under the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
 16.2 No Employment Obligation. The granting of any Award shall not constitute an employment contract, express or implied, nor impose upon the Company or any Affiliate any obligation to
employ or continue to employ, or utilize the services of, any Holder. The right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any person shall not be diminished or affected by reason of the fact that an Award has been granted to
him, and nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate any Holder’s employment at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law. 

16.3 Tax Withholding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement and the discretion of the
Committee, the Company or any Affiliate shall be entitled to deduct from any Award any sums required by applicable federal, state, local and/or foreign tax law to be remitted in connection with the vesting or exercise of such Award or the lapse of
restrictions on such Award (such sums required to be remitted, a “Withholding Obligation,” and the date on which such obligation arises, the “Tax Date”). 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement and the discretion of the Committee (and in furtherance of, and not
in limitation of, the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph), (i) the Company or any Affiliate may withhold from any Award payable in shares of Stock a number of shares of Stock equal to the Holder’s Withholding Obligation,
rounded up to the next whole share; (ii) the Company or any Affiliate may, in the alternative, permit the Holder to elect to pay his or her Withholding Obligation by either of, or a combination of, the following: (a) delivering cash or
check within one business day after the Tax Date and/or (b) electing to have the Company or such Affiliate withhold from such Award a number of shares of Stock equal to the Withholding Obligation, rounded up to the next whole share; and
(iii) if the Award is payable or to be otherwise settled in whole or in part in cash, the Company or any Affiliate may in its discretion, at the request of the Holder, permit the Holder to either pay in cash, or elect to have withheld from cash
amounts due the Holder upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award, amounts in excess of the Withholding Obligation if permitted by applicable law and provided that such excess withholding does not result in adverse accounting treatment
for the Company or such Affiliate. 

  
 18 

 To the extent that (i) restrictions on an Award lapse prior to settlement of such Award
and such lapse results in a Withholding Obligation or (ii) under applicable federal, state, local and/or foreign tax law a Withholding Obligation arises in respect of an Award prior to the vesting date of, or lapse of restrictions on, such
Award, the Company or any Affiliate may (in lieu of (or in combination with) permitting the Holder of such Award to satisfy such Withholding Obligation by delivering cash or check within one business day after the Tax Date) provide that a portion of
such Award shall (1) vest on an accelerated basis and settle effective as of the Tax Date (but only to the extent of such Withholding Obligation (that is not to be satisfied by such Holder via delivery of cash or check), which, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall be calculated to include any corresponding or additional Withholding Obligation due as a result of such accelerated vesting and settlement) and (2) be reported and remitted by the Company or such Affiliate to the
appropriate tax authorities. The Company or any Affiliate may adopt such procedures (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 16.3) as it may deem necessary, appropriate or advisable to effect the accelerated vesting, settlement,
reporting and remittance contemplated and authorized by this paragraph. 
 For purposes of valuing shares of Stock withheld to
satisfy any Withholding Obligation under this Section 16.3, the value of such shares shall be calculated using the closing price (as reported on the principal securities exchange on which the Stock is traded) of a share of Stock on the Tax Date
(or, if the Tax Date is not a trading day on the principal securities exchange on which the Stock is traded, the immediately preceding trading day). Any withheld shares of Stock not made available for delivery by the Company shall be retained as
treasury shares or will be cancelled and the Holder’s right, title, and interest in such shares of Stock shall terminate. 

The Committee may suspend or terminate the right of a Holder to satisfy his or her Withholding Obligation by withholding shares of Stock
as contemplated under this Section 16.3, provided (i) such change is approved prior to exercise of the Option or SAR or the vesting or settlement of (or lapse of restrictions on) any other type of Award and (ii) such Holder is not
then an Insider. 
 Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any obligation upon vesting or exercise of any Award or
lapse of restrictions on any Award until the Company or such Affiliate has received payment sufficient to cover the Withholding Obligation with respect to that vesting, exercise or lapse of restrictions. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall
be obligated to advise a Holder of the existence or amount of any Withholding Obligation. 
 16.4 Gender and
Number. If the context requires, words of one gender when used in the Plan shall include the other and words used in the singular or plural shall include the other. 
 16.5 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan,
and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

16.6 Headings. Headings of Articles and Sections are included for convenience of reference only and do not constitute
part of the Plan and shall not be used in construing the terms and provisions of the Plan. 
 16.7 Other Compensation
Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other option, incentive or other compensation or benefit plans in effect for the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall the Plan preclude the Company from establishing any other forms of
incentive compensation arrangements for Employees and Directors. 
 16.8 Retirement and Welfare Plans. Neither
Awards made under the Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards, may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under the Company’s or any Affiliate’s
retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a participant’s benefit. 

16.9 Other Awards. The grant of an Award shall not confer upon the Holder the right to receive any future or other
Awards under the Plan, whether or not Awards may be granted to similarly situated Holders, or the right to receive future Awards upon the same terms or conditions as previously granted. 

16.10 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be
binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

 16.11 Law Limitations/Governmental Approvals. The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock
under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 

  
 19 

 16.12 Delivery of Title. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or
deliver evidence of title for shares of Stock issued under the Plan prior to (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and (b) completion of any registration or other
qualification of the Stock under any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. 
 16.13 Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel
to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares of Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained. 
 16.14 Investment Representations. The Committee may require any person receiving Stock pursuant to
an Award under the Plan to represent and warrant in writing that the person is acquiring the shares of Stock for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Stock. 

16.15 Persons Residing Outside of the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order
to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or has Employees, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to (a) determine which Affiliates shall be covered by
the Plan; (b) determine which persons employed outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (c) amend or vary the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted to persons who
reside outside the United States; (d) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable — any subplans and modifications to Plan terms and procedures
established under this Section 16.15 by the Committee shall be attached to the Plan document as Appendices; and (e) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain or comply with any necessary local
government regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Code, any securities
law or governing statute or any other applicable law. 
 16.16 Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy arising
out of or relating to the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration conducted pursuant to the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties. 

16.17 Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and the rights of all persons claiming thereunder shall be construed,
administered and governed under the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless
otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under the Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Texas, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to
the Plan or any related Award Agreement. 
 16.18 Prior Plans. The Plan shall serve as the successor to each of
the Prior Plans and no further grants shall be made under any of the Prior Plans from and after the Initial Effective Date. All outstanding grants or awards under the Prior Plans shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the
applicable Prior Plan and the grant agreement, award agreement or other instrument evidencing such grant or award. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no provision of the Plan is intended to modify, extend or renew any award
granted under any of the Prior Plans. All terms, conditions and limitations, if any, that are set forth in any previously granted grant agreement, award agreement or other instrument evidencing such grant or award shall remain in full force and
effect under the terms of the respective Prior Plan pursuant to which it was issued.
