 Section 7. Changes in Common Stock. 
 7.1. In the event that (i) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities or other equity interests of the Company or an
Affiliate, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split-up, other similar transaction or other substitution of securities or other equity interests of the Company or an Affiliate or
(ii) there is an extraordinary dividend or distribution by the Company or an Affiliate in respect of its capital stock in cash or in property, the Committee shall determine the appropriate adjustments (if any) to the maximum number and kind of
shares of stock or other securities or other equity interests as to which Options may be granted under the Plan and the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities or other equity interests with respect to which Options have been granted
under the Plan, the Option Price and any other terms of the Option; provided, however, that in the event the Common Stock is subdivided into more, or combined into fewer, shares of Common Stock, or a stock dividend consisting of Common Stock is paid
on the Common Stock, then, unless otherwise provided in an applicable Stock Option Agreement, each Option then outstanding shall be adjusted (i) by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following such subdivision, combination or dividend and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
subdivision, combination or dividend (such fraction, the “Adjustment Fraction”) and (ii) by dividing the Option Price of the Option by the Adjustment Fraction. The Committee’s determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive for all purposes of the Plan and each Stock Option Agreement entered into under the Plan. 
 7.2. Subject to Section 7.3 or
as otherwise provided in a Stock Option Agreement, in the event of (a) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (b) a merger or consolidation of the Company (a “Transaction”), the Plan and the Options issued
hereunder shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms, except that following the Transaction either (i) each outstanding Option shall be treated as provided for in the plan of liquidation or dissolution adopted, or the
agreement entered into, in connection with the Transaction or (ii) if not so provided in such plan or agreement, each Optionee shall be entitled to receive in respect of each share of Common Stock subject to any outstanding Options, upon
exercise of any Option, the same number and kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other 

  

 5 

 
consideration that each holder of a share of Common Stock was entitled to receive in the Transaction in respect of a share of Common Stock; provided,
however, that such stock, securities, cash, property, or other consideration shall remain subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to the Options prior to such Transaction. 
 7.3. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, upon the effective date of any Total Sale, the Plan and any unexercised Options granted under
the Plan shall terminate unless provision shall be made in writing in connection with such Total Sale for the continuance of the Plan and such unexercised Options or for the assumption of such unexercised Options by a successor to the Company or for
the substitution for such unexercised Options of new options covering shares or other securities or other equity interests of such a successor with appropriate adjustments as to number and kind of shares or other securities or other equity
interests, option prices and other terms of such new options. In the event that provision is made in writing as aforesaid in connection with a Total Sale, the Plan and the unexercised Options theretofore granted or the new options substituted
therefor shall continue in the manner and under the terms provided in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreements and in such writing. 
 Section 8. Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that to the extent necessary under any applicable law,
regulation or exchange requirement no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law, regulation or exchange requirement. The rights of an Optionee under any Option granted prior to
an amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not be adversely affected by any such action of the Board except upon the consent of the Optionee; provided that an amendment to Section 4 of the Plan to increase the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted by the Committee shall not be deemed to adversely affect any Optionee. 
 Section 9. Indemnification of the Committee. The members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including all legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the preparation for, or defense of, any claim, action or proceeding, whether or not resulting in any liability), for any acts or omissions which are within the scope of such member’s duties as a
member of the Committee to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 Section 10.
Compliance with Law and Other Conditions. All Options and Stock Option Agreements shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of laws thereof, to the extent not superseded by the laws of the United States. Each Stock Option Agreement shall contain all provisions required by applicable state securities laws in order to enable the Company to avail
itself of any necessary exemptions from registration under such laws. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any agreements pursuant to which Options are granted to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue shares pursuant to the
exercise of any Option granted under the Plan unless the Company’s counsel has advised the Company that such 

  

 6 

 
exercise and issuance comply with all applicable laws including, without limitation, all applicable federal and state securities laws. 
 Section 11. Miscellaneous. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall (a) confer on any person any right to continue in
the employ of the Company or any successor; or (b) affect the right of the Company or any successor to terminate the employment of any person at any time; or (c) be deemed a waiver or modification of any provision contained in any
agreement between an employee, director or consultant and the Company or any successor. 
 Section 12.
Effective Date and Duration of Plan. The effective date of the Plan shall be the date of its adoption by the Board (the “Effective Date”), subject only to the approval of the stockholders of the Company
entitled to vote thereon. Such stockholder approval of the Plan shall occur within twenty-four months of the date of its adoption by the Board. The Plan shall automatically terminate on, and no Options may be granted under the Plan after, the tenth

 (e) Reasonableness of Restrictions. 
 (i) General. The Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section, and, having done so, agrees that
(i) the restrictions set forth herein are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protection afforded to the Company or any Related Company Entity hereunder is necessary to protect its legitimate
business interests, (iii) the agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for the Recapitalization Agreement, this Agreement and the Executive’s employment by the Company and (iv) upon the
termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions. 
 (ii) Enforceability. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of this Section shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions thereof shall nevertheless
continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that any provision of this Section relating to the time period and/or the areas of restriction and/or related aspects shall
be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable and enforceable, the time period and/or areas of restriction and/or related aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court
shall become and thereafter be the maximum restriction in such regard, and the restriction shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent deemed reasonable by such court. 
 (iii) The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the
Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or
threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity.
The terms of this Section 9(e)(iii) shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Executive. 
 10. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Waiver. A party’s failure to insist on compliance or enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, shall not affect the validity or enforceability or constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that provision or of any other provision
of this Agreement by that party or any other party. 
 (b) Governing Law. Except with respect to Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9, which shall
be subject to, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws, this Agreement shall in all respects be subject to, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to
the principles of conflict of laws. 
  

 8 

 (c) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision in this Agreement shall not
in any way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been in the Agreement. 
 (d) Notice. Notices provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or by overnight
courier with a receipt obtained therefor or when mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, to the Company to its chief executive officer at its principal office and to the Executive
at the address set forth above or such other address as he may provide the Company in accordance with the provision.

hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives, except that the rights and benefits of the Executive under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 (g) References to Gender and Number Terms. In construing this Agreement, feminine or number pronouns shall be substituted for those masculine in
form and vice versa, and plural terms shall be substituted for singular and singular for plural in any place in which the context so requires. 
 (h) Headings. The various headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not part of the Agreement. 
 (i) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY. 
 (j) Venue. By execution and delivery
of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York in New York County (collectively, the
“Selected Courts”) for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to Sections 6, 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement, and agrees not to commence any action or proceeding relating to such Sections except in the Selected Courts,
provided, that, a party may commence any action or proceeding in a court other than a Selected Court solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the Selected Courts; (ii) consents to service of any process,
summons, notice or document in any action or proceeding by registered first-class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by nationally recognized courier guaranteeing overnight delivery in accordance with this Agreement and agrees that
such service of process 

  

 9 

 
shall be effective service of process for any action or proceeding brought against it in any such court, provided, that, nothing herein shall affect
the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement in the Selected Courts; and (iv) waives and
agrees not to plead or claim in any court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such Selected Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (k) Publicity. Except and to the extent as may be required by law, neither the Executive nor the Company will issue any public announcement (including any announcement to the Company employees) relating to the
termination of the Executive’s employment without the prior written approval of the other party unless his termination is a result of any wrongful conduct or breach of this Agreement. 
 (l) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein contains the entire agreement and understanding by and between
the Executive and the Company with respect to the employment of the Executive, and no representations, promises, agreement, or understanding, written or oral, relating to the employment of the Executive by the Company not contained herein or therein
shall be of any force or effect.
