 3. Administration. 

 
 (a) Granting Authority. The
Independent Members shall have the authority to make grants of Awards under the Plan, provided that the Committee shall have authority to make grants of Awards under the Plan on a quarterly basis to Eligible Persons newly hired or retained since the
most recent grants awarded by the Independent Members. Each Granting Authority shall have full and final authority to take the following actions with respect to the Awards granted by it, in each case subject to and consistent with the provisions of
the Plan: 
  
 (i) to select Eligible
Persons to whom Awards may be granted; 
  
 (ii) to designate Affiliates; 
  
 (iii) to determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Eligible Person; 
  

(iv) to determine the type and number of Awards to be granted, the number of Shares to which an Award may relate, the
terms and conditions of any Award granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, any exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any restriction or condition, any schedule for lapse of restrictions or conditions relating to
transferability or forfeiture, exercisability, or settlement of an Award, and waiver or accelerations thereof, and waivers of performance conditions relating to an Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Granting Authority shall
determine), and all other matters to be determined in connection with an Award; 
  
 (v) to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid, in cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or an Award
may be canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered; 
  
 (vi) to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property payable with respect to an Award will be deferred either automatically, at the
election of the Granting Authority, or at the election of the Eligible Person; 
  
 (vii) to prescribe the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Eligible Person; 
  

(viii) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and to construe and
interpret the Plan and any Award, rules and regulations, Award Agreement, or other instrument hereunder; 

  
 3 

 (ix) to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of
any Award or to extend the period during which an Award is exercisable; 
  
 (x) to determine whether uncertificated Shares may be used in satisfying Awards and otherwise in connection with the Plan; and 

 
 (xi) to make all other decisions and
determinations as may be required under the terms of the Plan or as the Granting Authority may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Awards granted by it. 

 
 Subject to the foregoing authority expressly
granted to the Independent Members with respect to Awards granted by them, the Committee shall have general authority and responsibility for the administration of the Plan, including the authority to adopt, amend, suspend, waive, and rescind such
rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan. 
  

(b) Manner of Exercise of Authority. Each Granting Authority shall have sole discretion in exercising its authority
under the Plan. Any action of a Granting Authority with respect to grants made by it shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, including the Company, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Eligible Persons, any person claiming any rights under the
Plan from or through any Eligible Person, and stockholders. The express grant of any specific power to a Granting Authority, and the taking of any action by the Granting Authority, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of a
Granting Authority. A Granting Authority may delegate to other members of the Board or officers or managers of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate the authority, subject to such terms as the Granting Authority shall determine, to perform
administrative functions and, with respect to Awards granted to persons not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to perform such other functions as the Granting Authority may determine, to the extent permitted under Rule 16b-3 (if
applicable) and applicable law. 
  

(c) Limitation of Liability. Each member of the Granting Authority shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act
upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or other professional retained by the Company
to assist in the administration of the Plan. No member of the Granting Authority, and no officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Granting Authority, shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken
or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Granting Authority and any officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with
respect to any such action, determination, or interpretation. 
  
 (d) Limitation on Committee’s Discretion. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any Award which is intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) (4)(C) of the Code, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, there shall not be an increase in the amount of compensation payable under the Award to the extent such an
increase would cause the Award to lose its qualification as such performance-based compensation. 
  
 4. Shares Subject to the Plan. 
  
 (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(d) hereof, the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan shall be 10,250,000. Each Share subject to an
Award (other than an Option or SAR) shall count as 2.07 Shares for the purposes of the limit set forth in the preceding sentence. No Award may be granted if the number of Shares to which such Award relates, when added to the number of Shares
previously issued under the Plan, exceeds the number of Shares reserved under the preceding sentence. If any Awards are forfeited, canceled, terminated, exchanged or surrendered or such Award is settled in cash or otherwise terminates without a
distribution of Shares to the Participant, 

  
 4 

 
any Shares counted against the number of Shares reserved and available under the Plan with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, settlement, termination,
cancellation, exchange or surrender, again be available for Awards under the Plan. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Awards, such related Awards shall be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the
Award is exercised. 
  
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary: (i) shares tendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of an Option shall not be added to the maximum share limitations described in Section 4(a) above; (ii) shares tendered or
withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation shall not be added to the maximum share limitations described in Section 4(a) above; and (iii) all shares covered by a SAR, to the extent that it is exercised and whether or not the Shares
are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the right, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan. 
  

(c) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(d) hereof and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the maximum number of Shares (i) with respect to which Options or SARs may be granted during a calendar year to any Eligible Person under this Plan shall be 1,000,000 Shares, and (ii) with respect to Performance Shares, Performance
Units, Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units intended to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall be the equivalent of 800,000 Shares during a calendar year to any Eligible
Person under this Plan. 
  
 (d) In
the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend in Shares, recapitalization, Share split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate
transaction or event, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Eligible Persons under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it
deems appropriate and, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares which may thereafter be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares, other securities or other
consideration issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided, however, in each case that, with respect to ISOs, such adjustment shall be made in
accordance with Section 424(a) of the Code, unless the Committee determines otherwise. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria and performance objectives, if any, included
in, Awards in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events (including, without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or the financial statements of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, there shall be no increase in the amount of compensation payable
under the Award to the extent such an increase would cause the Award to lose its qualification as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 

 
 (e) Any Shares distributed pursuant to an
Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares including Shares acquired by purchase in the open market or in private transactions. 

 
 5. Specific Terms of Awards. 

 
 (a) General. Awards may be granted on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5. In addition, the Granting Authority may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 7(d)), such additional terms and conditions,
not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Granting Authority shall determine, including terms regarding forfeiture of Awards or continued exercisability of Awards in the event of termination of service by the Eligible Person.

  
 5 

 (b) Options. The Granting Authority is authorized to grant Options,
which may be NQSOs or ISOs, to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
  

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option shall not be less than the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date such Option is granted. 
  
 (ii) Option Term. The term of each Option shall be a maximum of seven (7) years from the date of grant of the Option. 

 
 (iii) Time and Method of Exercise. The
Granting Authority shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part (including, without limitation, upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the
Granting Authority), the methods by which such exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid (including, without limitation, broker-assisted exercise arrangements), the form of such payment (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, or other
property), and the methods by which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Eligible Persons. 
  

(iv) ISOs. The terms of any ISO granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of
Section 422 of the Code, including but not limited to the requirement that the ISO shall be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date of adoption or stockholder approval of the Plan. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the
Company or a Subsidiary. 
  
 (c)
SARs. The Granting Authority is authorized to grant SARs (Share Appreciation Rights) to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
  

(i) Right to Payment. A SAR shall confer on the Eligible Person to whom it is granted a right to receive with
respect to each Share subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or, if the Granting Authority shall so determine in the case of any such right, the Fair Market Value of
one Share at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise) over (2) the exercise price per Share of the SAR on the date of grant of the SAR, which shall not be less than Fair Market Value (which in the case of a SAR
granted in tandem with an Option, shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option). 
  

(ii) SAR Term. The term of each SAR shall be a maximum of seven (7) years from the date of grant of the SAR.

  
 (iii) Other Terms. The
Granting Authority shall determine, at the time of grant or thereafter, the time or times at which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by which
Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Eligible Persons, whether or not a SAR shall be in tandem with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. Unless the Granting Authority determines otherwise, a SAR
(1) granted in tandem with an NQSO may be granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time thereafter and (2) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be granted at the time of grant of the related ISO. 

 
 (d) Restricted Shares. The Granting
Authority is authorized to grant Restricted Shares to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
  

(i) Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions, if any, as the Granting Authority may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances

  
 6 

 
(including, without limitation, upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Granting Authority), in such installments, or otherwise, as the Granting Authority may
determine. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Shares, an Eligible Person granted Restricted Shares shall have all of the rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the right to vote
Restricted Shares and the right to receive dividends thereon. If the lapse of restrictions is conditioned on the achievement of performance criteria, the Granting Authority shall select the criterion or criteria from the list of criteria set forth
in Section 5(f)(i). The Granting Authority must certify in writing prior to the lapse of restrictions conditioned on achievement of performance criteria that such performance criteria were in fact satisfied. 

 
 (ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise
determined by the Granting Authority, at the date of grant or thereafter, upon termination of service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Shares and any accrued but unpaid dividends or Dividend Equivalents that are at that time
subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Granting Authority may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to
Restricted Shares will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Granting Authority may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Shares. 

 
 (iii) Certificates for Shares.
Restricted Shares granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Granting Authority shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Shares are registered in the name of the Eligible Person, such certificates shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares, and the Company shall retain physical possession of the certificate. 

 
 (iv) Dividends. Dividends paid on
Restricted Shares shall be either paid at the dividend payment date, or deferred for payment to such date as determined by the Granting Authority, in cash or in unrestricted Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends.
Shares distributed in connection with a Share split or dividend in Shares, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such
Shares or other property has been distributed. 
  
 (e) Restricted Share Units. The Granting Authority is authorized to grant Restricted Share Units to Eligible Persons, subject to the following terms and conditions: 

 
 (i) Award and Restrictions. Delivery
of Shares or cash, as the case may be, will occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for Restricted Share Units by the Granting Authority (or, if permitted by the Granting Authority, as elected by the Eligible Person). In addition,
Restricted Share Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Granting Authority may impose, if any (including, without limitation, the achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Granting Authority), at the date of grant
or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier or later specified times, separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Granting Authority may determine. If the lapse of
restrictions is conditioned on the achievement of performance criteria, the Granting Authority shall select the criterion or criteria from the list of criteria set forth in Section 5(f)(i). The Granting Authority must certify in writing prior
to the lapse of restrictions conditioned on the achievement of performance criteria that such performance criteria were in fact satisfied. 
  

(ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Granting Authority at date of grant or thereafter, upon
termination of service (as determined under criteria established by the Granting Authority) during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply (as provided in the Award Agreement evidencing the Restricted
Share Units), or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery of Shares or cash to which such Restricted Share Units 

  
 7 

 
relate, all Restricted Share Units that are at that time subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Granting Authority may provide, by rule or regulation
or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Share Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the
Granting Authority may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Share Units. 
  

(f) Performance Shares and Performance Units. The Granting Authority is authorized to grant Performance Shares or
Performance Units or both to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
  

(i) Performance Period. The Granting Authority shall determine a performance period (the “Performance
Period”) of one or more years and shall determine the performance objectives for grants of Performance Shares and Performance Units. Performance objectives may vary from Eligible Person to Eligible Person and shall be based upon one or more
of the following performance criteria as the Granting Authority may deem appropriate: share price; earnings per share; return to shareholders (including dividends); return on equity; revenues; sales; sales by category, brand, territory or geography;
unit growth; customer growth (including new customers and increased sales to existing customers); EBITDA or EBIT; operating income or operating profit; net income; gross margin; operating margin; return on capital or return on invested capital;
economic value added; economic profit; cash flows; cash flow from operations; market share; inventory levels; inventory days outstanding; consumption; size of line in total or by category or type; consumer and strategic investments; advertising,
brand and product innovation; research and development; costs; managing commodity costs; capital expenditures; working capital; net fixed assets; accounts receivable; days sales outstanding; period overhead; expenses; productivity; market
capitalization; customer satisfaction; pro forma net income; return on equity; return on designated assets; expenses; free cash flow; cash flow return on investment; net profit margin; cash conversion cycle; and service levels. The performance
objectives may be determined by reference to the performance of the Company, or of a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or of a division or unit of any of the foregoing. Performance Periods may overlap and Eligible Persons may participate simultaneously with
respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units for which different Performance Periods are prescribed. 
  

(ii) Award Value. At the beginning of a Performance Period, the Granting Authority shall determine for each
Eligible Person or group of Eligible Persons with respect to that Performance Period the range of number of Shares, if any, in the case of Performance Shares, and the range of dollar values, if any, in the case of Performance Units, which may be
fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance or other criteria specified by the Granting Authority, which shall be paid to an Eligible Person as an Award if the relevant measure of Company performance for the Performance Period is met. The
Granting Authority must certify in writing that the applicable performance criteria were satisfied prior to payment under any Performance Shares or Performance Units. 

 
 (iii) Significant Events. If during
the course of a Performance Period there shall occur significant events as determined by the Granting Authority which the Granting Authority expects to have a substantial effect on a performance objective during such period, the Granting Authority
may revise such objective; provided, however, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, there shall not be an increase in the amount of compensation payable under the Award to the extent such an increase would cause the Award to lose its
qualification as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
  

(iv) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Granting Authority, at the date of grant or thereafter, upon
termination of service during the applicable Performance Period, Performance Shares and Performance Units for which the Performance Period was prescribed shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Granting Authority may provide, by rule or
regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in an individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Performance 

  
 8 

 
Shares and Performance Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Granting Authority may in other cases waive in whole or in
part the forfeiture of Performance Shares and Performance Units. 
  
 (v) Payment. Each Performance Share or Performance Unit may be paid in whole Shares, or cash, or a combination of Shares and cash either as a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the
Granting Authority shall determine, at the time of grant of the Performance Share or Performance Unit or otherwise, commencing as soon as practicable after the end of the relevant Performance Period. The Granting Authority must certify in writing
prior to the payment of any Performance Share or Performance Unit that the performance objectives and any other material terms were in fact satisfied. 
  

(g) Dividend Equivalents. The Granting Authority is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons.
The Granting Authority may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, or other investment vehicles as the Granting
Authority may specify; provided, however, that Dividend Equivalents (other than freestanding Dividend Equivalents) shall be subject to all conditions and restrictions of the underlying Awards to which they relate. 

 
 (h) Other Share-Based Awards. The
Granting Authority is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to,
Shares, as deemed by the Granting Authority to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, unrestricted shares awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, other rights
convertible or exchangeable into Shares, purchase rights for Shares, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Granting Authority, and Awards valued by reference to the
performance of specified Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Granting Authority shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at date of grant or thereafter. Shares delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under
this Section 5(h) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, notes or other property, as the Granting Authority shall determine. Cash
awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan, shall also be authorized pursuant to this Section 5(h). 
  

6. Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards. 
  

(a) Stand-Alone, Additional, and Tandem. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Granting
Authority, be granted to Eligible Persons either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan or agreement of the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate. 

 
 (b) Substitute Awards in Transactions.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Granting Authority to grant Awards under the Plan in connection with the acquisition, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or other transaction, of the business or
assets of any corporation or other entity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Granting Authority may grant Awards under the Plan to an employee or director of another corporation or other entity who becomes an Eligible Person by reason of any such
transaction in substitution for awards previously granted by such corporation or entity to such employee or director. The terms and conditions of the substitute Awards may vary from the terms and conditions that would otherwise be required by the
Plan solely to the extent the Granting Authority deems necessary for such purpose. 
  
 (c) Term of Awards. The term of each Award granted to an Eligible Person shall be for such period as may be determined by the Granting Authority; provided, however, that in no event shall the term
of any Option or a SAR exceed a period of seven years from the date of its grant (or such shorter period as may be applicable under Section 422 of the Code). 

  
 9 

 (d) Repricing Prohibited. Subject to the anti-dilution adjustment
provisions contained in Section 4(d) hereof, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, neither the Granting Authority nor the Board shall cause the amendment of an Option or SAR that would have the effect of reducing the
exercise price of an Option or SAR previously granted under the Plan, the cancellation or exchange of an Option or SAR for cash, other awards, or an Option or SAR with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option or
SAR or otherwise approve any modification to an Option or SAR that would be treated as a “repricing” of such Option or SAR under any then applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements. 

 
 (e) Form of Payment Under Awards.
Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate upon the grant, maturation, or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Granting Authority shall
determine at the date of grant or thereafter, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, notes or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The Granting Authority may make rules
relating to installment or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with respect to such payments, subject to applicable law. 

 
 (f) Nontransferability. Awards shall
not be transferable by an Eligible Person except (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution (except pursuant to a Beneficiary designation) or (ii) with respect to NQSOs, by gift to a family member of the Participant to the extent
permitted in the applicable Award Agreement and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of an Eligible Person only by such Eligible Person or his guardian or legal representative unless it has been transferred by gift to a family member of the
Participant, in which case it shall be exercisable only by such transferee. For the purpose of this provision, a “family member” shall have the meaning set forth in the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. An Eligible Person’s rights under the Plan may not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, and shall not be subject to claims of the Eligible Person’s creditors. 

 
 (g) Repayment. If the Company is
required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct an accounting error included in a report on Form 10-Q or 10-K caused by the misconduct of a Participant, the Participant shall return to the Company, or forfeit if not paid, any Award arising
out of the misconduct for or during such restated period. 
  
 (h) Noncompetition. The Granting Authority may, by way of the Award Agreements or otherwise, establish such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of any Award, provided
they are not inconsistent with the Plan, including, without limitation, the requirement that the Participant not engage in competition with the Company. 
  

7. General Provisions. 
  

(a) Compliance with Legal and Trading Requirements. The Plan, the granting and exercising of Awards thereunder, and
the other obligations of the Company under the Plan and any Award Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be
required. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Award until completion of such stock exchange or market system listing or registration or qualification of such Shares or other required action under
any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or
delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. No provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to obligate the Company to register any Shares under federal, state or foreign law. The Shares issued under the
Plan may be subject to such other restrictions on transfer as determined by the Committee. 

  
 10 

 (b) No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor
any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any employee, consultant, or director the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor shall it interfere in any way with the
right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate any employee’s, consultant’s or director’s employment or service at any time. 

 
 (c) Taxes. The Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any payroll or other payment to an Eligible Person, amounts of withholding and
other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Eligible Persons to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other
tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Shares or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of an Eligible Person’s tax obligations; provided,
however, that the amount of tax withholding to be satisfied by withholding Shares shall be limited to the minimum amount of taxes, including employment taxes, required to be withheld under applicable Federal, state and local law. 

 
 (d) Amendment. The Board may at any
time and from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan. The Board may seek the approval of any amendment or modification by the Company’s stockholders to the extent it deems necessary or
advisable in its discretion for purposes of compliance with Section 162(m) or Section 422 of the Code, the listing requirements of the applicable exchange or securities market or for any other purpose. Except as may be required to comply
with Section 409A of the Code, no amendment or modification of the Plan or any Award shall adversely affect any Award theretofore granted without the consent of the Eligible Person or the permitted transferee of the Award. 

 
 (e) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder
Rights. No Eligible Person or employee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons and employees. No Award shall confer on any Eligible Person any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares are duly issued or transferred to the Eligible Person in accordance with the terms of the Award. 
  

(f) Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company;
provided, however, that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under the Plan to deliver cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property pursuant to any Award, which trusts
or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant. 

 
 (g) Nonexclusivity of the Plan.
Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem
desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of options and other awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases. 

 
 (h) Not Compensation for Benefit
Plans. No Award payable under this Plan shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company for the benefit of its employees, consultants or directors unless the
Company shall determine otherwise. 

  
 11 

 (i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be
forfeited or otherwise eliminated. 
  

(j) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the
Plan, and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of New York without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws thereof. 
  

(k) Effective Date; Plan Termination. The Plan shall become effective as of December 1, 2005 (the
“Effective Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adoption of this Plan is expressly conditioned upon the approval of the stockholders of the Company. The Plan shall terminate as to future awards on the date which is ten
(10) years after the Effective Date. 
  
 (l) Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only. In the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or
headings, shall control. 
  
 (m)
Section 409A. It is intended that the Plan and Awards issued thereunder will comply with Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder) to the extent the Awards are subject thereto, and the Plan and
such Awards shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. The Plan and any Award Agreements issued thereunder may be amended in any respect deemed by the Board or the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with
Section 409A of the Code.

compliance with applicable provisions of state securities laws; or 
 (ii) (A) counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from
registration under the Act and (B) if the Management Stockholder is a citizen or resident of any country other than the United States, or the Management Stockholder desires to effect any transfer in any such country, counsel for the Management
Stockholder (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion or other advice reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the effect that such transfer will comply
with the securities laws of such jurisdiction. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any of the following

 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER’S AGREEMENT DATED AS OF

investment in the Stock unless it is subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available, (2) when and if shares of the Stock may be disposed of without registration in reliance on Rule 144 of the rules and
regulations promulgated under the Act, such disposition can be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Rule and (3) if the Rule 144 exemption is not available, public sale without registration will require
compliance with some other exemption under the Act.

 (d) If any shares of the Stock are to be disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act or otherwise,
the Management Stockholder shall promptly notify the Company of such intended disposition and shall deliver to the Company at or prior to the time of such disposition such documentation as the Company may reasonably request in connection with such
sale and, in the case of a disposition pursuant to Rule 144, shall deliver to the Company an executed copy of any notice on Form 144 required to be filed with the SEC.

Company that the Company has filed or imminently intends to file such registration statement to, or within 180 days (or such shorter period as may be consented to by the managing underwriter or underwriters) in the case of the initial Public
Offering and ninety (90) days (or in an underwritten offering such shorter period as may be consented to by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any) in the case of any other Public Offering after, the effective date of such
registration statement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company. 
 (f) The Management Stockholder represents and warrants that
(i) with respect to the Stock, he has received and reviewed the available information relating to the Stock, including having received and reviewed the documents related thereto, certain of which documents set forth the rights, preferences and
restrictions relating to the Options and the Stock underlying the Options and (ii) he has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information, the Company

Section 2(f), and he has relied solely on such information.

the Closing Date, (ii) the date of consummation of a Qualified Public Offering and (iii) a Change in Control; provided, however, that the Management Stockholder may transfer shares of Stock during such time pursuant to one of

  

 4 

 
the following exceptions: (a) transfers permitted by Section 5 or 6; (b) transfers permitted by clauses (y) and (z) of Section 2(a); (c) a sale of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act filed by the Company, including without limitation a sale pursuant to Section 9 (excluding any registration on Form S-8, S-4 or any successor or similar form);
(d) transfers permitted pursuant to the Sale Participation Agreement (as defined in Section 7); (e) transfers to Cypress and its Affiliates or (f) other transfers permitted by the Board in its sole discretion. No transfer of any
such shares in violation hereof shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company and any such transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect. 
 4. Right of First Refusal. (a) If, at any time after the Lapse Date and prior to the date of consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the Management Stockholder receives a bona fide offer to
purchase any or all of his Stock (the “Third Party Offer”) from a third party (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any transfers pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) of Section 2(a) or pursuant to the Sale
Participation Agreement) (the “Offeror”), which the Management Stockholder wishes to accept, the Management Stockholder shall cause the Third Party Offer to be reduced to writing and shall notify the Company in writing of his wish to
accept the Third Party Offer. The Management Stockholder’s notice to the Company shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Stock to the Company (in the manner set forth below) at a purchase price equal to the price contained in, and on
the same terms and conditions of, the Third Party Offer, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the Third Party Offer (which shall identify the Offeror). At any time within fifteen (15) days after the date of the receipt by the Company of the
Management Stockholder’s notice, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a third party to purchase, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer, pursuant to
Section 4(b). 
 (b) The Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a third party to purchase, all of the
shares of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer at the same price and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Third Party Offer (or, if the Third Party Offer includes any consideration other than cash, then at the sole option of the
Company, at the equivalent all cash price, determined in good faith by the Company’s Board), by delivering a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management
Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) (and any such non-cash consideration to be paid) to the Management Stockholder at the principal office of the Company against delivery of certificates or other instruments
representing the shares of Stock so purchased, appropriately endorsed by the Management Stockholder. If at the end of the 15-day period, the Company has not tendered the purchase price for such shares in the manner set forth above, the Management
Stockholder may, during the succeeding 60-day period, sell not less than all of the shares of Stock covered by the Third Party Offer, to the Offeror on terms no less favorable to the Management Stockholder than those contained in the Third Party
Offer. Promptly after such sale, the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be
requested by the Company. If, at the end of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the 15-day period during which the Company is entitled hereunder to purchase the Stock, the Management Stockholder has not completed the sale of such shares
of the Stock as aforesaid, all of the restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment contained in this Agreement shall again be in effect with respect to such shares of the Stock.

 5. The Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Stock and Options to the Company. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein and for the purpose of providing a market for the Stock or Options for the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities, if, prior to the Lapse Date, either (x) prior to Retirement, the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) terminates as a result of the death or Disability of the Management Stockholder or
(y) after Retirement, the Management Stockholder dies or suffers a Disability, then the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, shall, for one year following the date of (x) such termination for death or Disability or (y) such death
or Disability, respectively (as applicable, the “Put Period”), have the right to: 
 (i) With respect to the Stock, sell to the
Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to Fair Market Value (the “Section 5 Repurchase
Price”) at the time of the purchase; 
 (ii) With respect to any outstanding Options, receive from the Company, on one occasion, in
exchange for all of the exercisable portions of the Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 5 Repurchase Price at the time of the
exchange over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment, which shall be payable in shares of Stock (the “Net Settled Stock”). In the event
the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable portions of the Options granted to the Management Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.
In the event that the Management Stockholder Entities do not exercise the foregoing rights, the exercisable but unexercised portions of the Options shall terminate in accordance with the terms of Section 4(a) of the Stock Option Agreement.
Subject to the Stock Option Agreement, the unexercisable portions of the Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities shall terminate without payment immediately upon termination of employment in accordance with Section 3(c)
of the Stock Option Agreement. 
 (iii) For 30 days following the six month anniversary (the “Settled Stock Put Period”) of the
receipt by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Net Settled Stock, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all such Net Settled Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities at a per share price equal to the Section 5 Repurchase Price at the time of the purchase. 
 (b) In the event the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 5(a), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written notice to the Company, (i) at any time during the Put Period, of their intention to sell
shares of Stock in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 5(a)(i) and/or to exchange such Options for Net Settled Stock or (ii) at any time during the Settled Stock Put Period, of their intention to sell the Net Settled Stock in
exchange for the payment referred to in Section 5(a)(iii)(the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases or exchanges shall take place at the principal office of the Company on the tenth business day after the giving of the
Redemption Notice. The applicable Section 5 Repurchase Price shall be paid by 
  

 6 

 
delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) and the Net Settled Stock shall be delivered to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities,
both against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents canceling the Options so terminated appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any
duly authorized representative. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(a) to the contrary and subject to Section 10(a), if there
exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any material loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money
or if the repurchase referred to in Section 5(a) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company has borrowed money or if a repurchase would not be permitted under Section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or would otherwise violate the DGCL (or if the Company reincorporates in another state,
the business corporation law of such state) (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Stock from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities until the first business day which
is ten (10) calendar days after all of the foregoing Events have ceased to exist (the “Repurchase Eligibility Date”); provided, however, that the number of shares of Stock subject to repurchase under this Section 5(c) shall be
that number of shares of Stock, as specified in the Redemption Notice and held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at the time of delivery of the Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof (as may be adjusted
pursuant to Section 7(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 6(d), if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any
Redemption Notice but the Management Stockholder Entities shall have another thirty (30) days from the date the Event ceases to exist to give another Repurchase Notice on the terms applicable to the first Redemption Notice. 

6. The Company’s Option to Purchase Stock and Options of Management Stockholder Upon Certain Terminations of Employment. 

(a) Termination for Cause by the Company, Termination by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason (other than due to his Retirement, death or
Disability) and other Call Events. Except as otherwise provided herein, if, prior to the Lapse Date, (i) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) is terminated by the Company

ex-spouse) or his lineal descendants (including adopted children) or (iv) the Management Stockholder shall otherwise effect a transfer of any of the Stock other than as permitted in this Agreement (other than as may be required by applicable
law or an order of a court having 
  

 7 

 
competent jurisdiction) after notice from the Company of such impermissible transfer and a reasonable opportunity to cure such transfer (each, a “Section 6(a) Call Event”): 

(A) the Company (for the purpose of providing a market for the Stock for the applicable Management Stockholder Entities) may purchase all or any portion
of the shares of the Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) the Base Price and (y) Fair Market Value (any such applicable repurchase price, the
“Section 6(a) Repurchase Price”), except that, in the case of a Section 6(a)(ii) Call Event that occurs on or after December 31, 2007, the Section 6(a) Repurchase Price shall be equal to Fair Market Value; 

(B) subject to the Stock Option Agreement, all Options (whether or not then exercisable) held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities will
terminate immediately without payment in respect thereof; and 
 (C) the Company (for the purpose of providing a market for the Stock for the
applicable Management Stockholder Entities) may purchase all or any portion of the shares of the Stock issued upon the exercise of any of the Options that is not terminated pursuant to clause (B) at a per share purchase price equal to the
Section 6(a) Repurchase Price. 
 (b) Termination without Cause by the Company (other than due to his death or Disability), and Termination
by the Management Stockholder with Good Reason. Except as otherwise provided herein, if, prior to the Lapse Date, (i) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) is terminated
by the Company (and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) without Cause (other than due to his death or Disability), or (ii) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (and/or, if applicable, its subsidiaries) is
terminated by the Management Stockholder with Good Reason (each, a “Section 6(b) Call Event”):

providing a market for the Stock for the applicable Management Stockholder Entities) may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to Fair

 (B) the Company may purchase all or any portion of the exercisable Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the price equal to Fair Market Value over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange
for such payment. In the event the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable stock options granted to the Management Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any
payment in respect thereof. In the event that the Company does not exercise the foregoing rights, the exercisable but unexercised portions of the Options shall terminate in accordance with the terms of Section 4(a) of the Stock Option

share price equal to Fair Market Value; and 
 (B) With respect to the Options, purchase all or part of the exercisable portions of the Options
for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of Fair Market Value over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which portions shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the
event the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable stock options granted to the Management Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.

 (d) Call Notice. The Company shall have a period of 210 days from the later of (i) the date of any Call Event (or, if later, with
respect to a Section 6(a) Call Event, the date after discovery of, and the applicable cure period for, an impermissible transfer constituting a Section 6(a) Call Event) and (ii) thirty (30) days from the date the Management
Stockholder rescinds a Redemption Notice pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5(c), in which to give notice in writing to the Management Stockholder of its election to exercise its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 6
(“Repurchase Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Net Settled Stock, the Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days following the five month anniversary of the receipt by the Management Stockholder Entities of

certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents cancelling the Options so terminated, appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized
representative. 
 (e) Delay of Call. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary and subject to
Section 10(a), if there exists and is continuing any Event, the Company shall delay the repurchase of any of the Stock or the Options (pursuant to a Call Notice timely given in accordance with Section 6(d) hereof) from the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities until the Repurchase Eligibility Date; provided, however, that (i) the number of shares of Stock subject to repurchase under this Section 6 shall be that number of shares of Stock (as may be adjusted
pursuant to Section 7(a)), (ii) in the case of a repurchase pursuant to Section 6(b) or 6(c), the number of Exercisable Option Shares for purposes of calculating the Option Excess Price payable under this Section 6 shall be the
number of Exercisable Option Shares, in each case held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at the time of delivery of (and as set forth in) a Call Notice in accordance with Section 6(d) hereof and (iii) the Company may, at
its election and in lieu of paying the 
  

 9 

 
repurchase price under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6, deliver a note payable in annual installments up to five years, bearing interest at the stated rate of interest
on the Company’s senior subordinated notes issued on the Closing Date, except that the annual installment payments shall be accelerated if the Event shall cease to exist. All portions of the Options exercisable as of the date of a Repurchase
Notice, in the case of a repurchase pursuant to Section 6(b) or 6(c), shall continue to be exercisable until the repurchase of such portions pursuant to such Call Notice, provided that to the extent that any portions of the Options are
exercised after the date of such Call Notice, the number of Exercisable Option Shares for purposes of calculating the Option Excess Price shall be reduced accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety
(90) days, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to cause the Company to rescind any Repurchase Notice but the Company shall have another thirty (30) days from the date the Event ceases to exist to give
another Repurchase Notice on the terms applicable to the first Repurchase Notice. 
 (f) Calculation of Option Excess Price. For the avoidance
of doubt, in any instance where the Company exchanges cash or Stock for Options as set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above, the applicable Option Excess Price shall be calculated in tranches based on the applicable Option Exercise Prices relative to the
applicable Repurchase Price, and not on an aggregate net basis, such that the Option Excess Price of any Options having the same Option Exercise Price, where the Option Excess Price is greater than zero, shall not be netted against the Option Excess
Price of any Options having a different Option Exercise Price, where the Option Excess Price is less than or equal to zero. 
 7. Adjustment of
Repurchase Price; Definitions. 
 (a) Adjustment of Repurchase Price. In determining the applicable repurchase price of the Stock and Options,

of a “Holder” (as defined in the Investor Stockholders Agreement) with respect to Piggyback Registration Rights (including, without limitation, the right to participate in the Qualified Public Offering and any rights to indemnification
and/or contribution from the Company and/or the Investors), in each case as if the Management Stockholder were an original party (other than the Company) to the Investor Stockholder Agreement, subject to applicable and customary underwriter
restrictions; provided, however, that at no time shall the Management Stockholder have any rights to request registration under Section 5.3 of the Investor Stockholders Agreement; and provided further, that the Management Stockholder shall not

Management Stockholder of such Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities a written request (a “Request”) to register shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which
Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered as provided in this Section 9; provided, however, that for each such registration
statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, may be submitted for all Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities. 

(c) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lowest of (i) the number of shares of Stock
then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised portion of the Options to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Stock being sold by the Company and any affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the Company and the denominator of which
is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the Company and any investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the Company or (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock which the Company can register
in connection with such Request in the Proposed Registration without adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced pro rata as more fully described in subsection (d) of this Section 9 or (iii) the
maximum number of shares which the Management Stockholder (pro rata based upon the aggregate number of shares of Stock the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders have requested to be registered) is permitted to register under
the Piggyback Registration Rights. 
 (d) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the
Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in the Proposed Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or
distribution of the shares of Stock offered in such Public Offering as contemplated by the Company, then the Company will include in the Proposed Registration (i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the Company proposes to sell and
(ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of shares
of Stock which the selling Investors and any affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the selling Investors, the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders
(together, the “Holders”) have requested to be included in the Proposed Registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Stock then held by each such Holder
(including upon exercise of any exercisable portion of the Options) (provided that any shares thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner).

  

 15 

 (e) Upon delivering a Request the Management Stockholder will, if requested by the Company, execute and
deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 9 (a “Custody Agreement
and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or
certificates (to the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and
attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified
therein. 
 (f) The Management Stockholder agrees that he will execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further
evidence the provisions of this Section 9. 
 10. Pro Rata Repurchases; Dividends. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 4, 5 or 6, if at any time consummation of any purchase or payment to be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Management Stockholders Agreements would result in an Event, then the Company shall make
purchases from, and payments to, the Management Stockholder and Other Management Stockholders pro rata (on the basis of the proportion of the number of shares of Stock each such Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders have
elected or are required to sell to the Company) for the maximum number of shares of Stock permitted without resulting in an Event (the “Maximum Repurchase Amount”). The provisions of Section 5(c) and 6(e) shall apply in their entirety
to payments and repurchases with respect to shares of Stock which may not be made due to the limits imposed by the Maximum Repurchase Amount under this Section 10(a). Until all of such Stock is purchased and paid for by the Company, the
Management Stockholder and the Other Management Stockholders whose Stock is not purchased in accordance with this Section 10(a) shall have priority, on a pro rata basis, over other purchases of Stock by the Company pursuant to this Agreement
and Other Management Stockholders’ Agreements. 
 (b) In the event any dividends are paid with respect to the Stock, the Management
Stockholder will be treated in the same manner as all other holders of Common Stock with respect to shares of Stock then owned by the Management Stockholder, and, with respect to any Options held by the Management Stockholder, in accordance, as
applicable, with Section 4(b) of the Stock Option Agreement. 
 11. Rights to Negotiate Repurchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as may be mutually
agreed upon in writing between the Parties, whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management Stockholder the right to sell,
shares of Stock or any Options under the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be entered into,
without the prior approval of the Board.

Stockholder’s Options and any grant of Restricted Stock; and Management Stockholder further covenants and agrees that he will furnish the Company with copies of the forms of election the Management Stockholder files within thirty (30) days
