 PAETEC Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
sets forth herein the terms of its 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as follows: 
  

	1.	PURPOSE 

 The Plan is intended to enhance the
Company’s and its Affiliates’ (as defined herein) ability to attract and retain highly qualified officers, directors, key employees, and other persons, and to motivate such persons to serve the Company and its Affiliates and to expend
maximum effort to improve the business results and earnings of the Company, by providing to such persons an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in the operations and future success of the Company. To this end, the Plan
provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares, performance units and cash awards. Any of these awards may, but need not, be made
as performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms hereof. Stock options granted under the Plan may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, as provided herein,
except that stock options granted to outside directors and any consultant or adviser currently providing services to the Company or an Affiliate shall in all cases be non-qualified stock options.

determinations required or provided for under the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement, and shall have full power and authority to take all such other actions and make all such other determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and
provisions of the Plan that the Board deems to be necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement. All 

  

 4 

 
such actions and determinations shall be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board present at a meeting or by unanimous consent of
the Board executed in writing in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and applicable law. The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be
final, binding and conclusive. As permitted by law, the Board may delegate its authority under the Plan to a member of the Board or an executive officer of the Company; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board,
only the Board or the Committee may make an Award to an executive officer of the Company and establish the number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Awards with respect to any fiscal period. 
  

	 	3.2.	Committee. 

 The Board from time to time may
delegate to the Committee such powers and authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as set forth in Section 3.1 above and other applicable provisions, as the Board shall determine, consistent with the
certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company and applicable law. 
 (i) Except as provided in Subsection
(ii) and except as the Board may otherwise determine, the Committee, if any, appointed by the Board to administer the Plan shall consist of two or more Outside Directors of the Company who: (a) qualify as “outside directors”
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, (b) meet such other requirements as may be established from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission for plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its
successor) under the Exchange Act, and (c) comply with the independence requirements of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. The Committee shall be the Compensation Committee. 
 (ii) The Board may also appoint one or more separate committees of the Board, each composed of one or more directors of the Company who
need not be Outside Directors, who may administer the Plan with respect to employees or other Service Providers who are not officers or directors of the Company, may grant Awards under the Plan to such employees or other Service Providers, and may
determine all terms of such Awards. 
 In the event that the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement entered into hereunder provides for any action to be
taken by or determination to be made by the Board, such action may be taken or such determination may be made by the Committee if the power and authority to do so has been delegated to the Committee by the Board as provided for in this Section.
Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board, any such action or determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may delegate its authority under the Plan to a member of the
Board. 
  

	 	3.3.	Terms of Awards. 

 Subject to the other terms and
conditions of the Plan, the Board shall have full and final authority to: 
 (i) designate Grantees, 
 (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be made to a Grantee, 
 (iii) determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to an Award, 
 (iv) establish the terms and
conditions of each Award (including, but not limited to, the exercise price of any Option, the nature and duration of any restriction or condition (or provision for lapse thereof) relating to the vesting, exercise, transfer, or forfeiture of an
Award or the shares of Stock subject thereto, and any terms or conditions that may be necessary to qualify Options as Incentive Stock Options), 
 (v) prescribe the form of each Award Agreement evidencing an Award, and 
 (vi) amend, modify, or supplement the terms of any
outstanding Award. Such authority specifically includes the authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan but without amending the Plan, to modify Awards to eligible individuals who are foreign nationals or are individuals who are
employed outside the United States to 

  

 5 

 
recognize differences in local law, tax policy, or custom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or supplement of any Award shall,
without the consent of the Grantee, impair the Grantee’s rights under such Award and no amendment or modification to an Award that would treated as a repricing under the rules of the stock exchange on which the Stock is listed shall be made
without approval of the Company’s shareholders. 
 The Company may retain the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the
gain realized by a Grantee on account of actions taken by the Grantee in violation or breach of or in conflict with any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or
any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof or otherwise in competition with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent specified in such Award Agreement applicable to the
Grantee. Furthermore, the Company may annul an Award if the Grantee is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate thereof and is terminated for Cause as defined in the applicable Award Agreement or the Plan, as applicable. The grant of any Award may
be made contingent upon the Grantee executing the appropriate Award Agreement. 
  

	 	3.4.	Deferral Arrangement. 

 The Board may permit or
require the deferral of any award payment into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, including
converting such credits into deferred Stock equivalents, or restricting deferrals to comply with hardship distribution rules affecting 401(k) plans. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A. 

 

	 	3.5.	No Liability. 

 No member of the Board or of the
Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement. 
  

	 	3.6.	Share Issuance/Book-Entry. 

 Notwithstanding
any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the issuance of the Stock under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Board, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or
more Stock certificates. 
  

	4.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

 Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 17 hereof, the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be ten million (10,000,000). The number of shares that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed ten million
(10,000,000). Stock issued or to be issued under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares; or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company. If any shares covered by an Award are not
purchased or are forfeited, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any Stock subject thereto, then the number of shares of Stock counted against the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award
shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, again be available for making Awards under the Plan. The difference between the total shares of Stock exercised and the net shares delivered shall again be available for grant under this
Plan, with the result being that only the number of shares of stock issued upon exercise of an SAR are counted against the shares available. 
 If the Option Price of any Option granted under the Plan, or if pursuant to Section 18.3 the withholding obligation of any Grantee with respect to an Option or other Award, is satisfied by tendering shares of Stock to the
Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation) or by withholding shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock issued net of the shares of Stock tendered or withheld shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of
shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan. 
  

 6 

 The Board shall have the right to substitute or assume Awards in connection with mergers,
reorganizations, separations, or other transactions to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies. The number of shares of Stock reserved pursuant to Section 4 may be increased by the corresponding number of Awards assumed and, in the
case of a substitution, by the net increase in the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards before and after the substitution. 
  

	5.	EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION AND AMENDMENTS 

  

	 	5.1.	Effective Date. 

 The Plan shall be effective as of
the Effective Date, subject to approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders within one year of the Effective Date. Upon approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company as set forth above, all Awards made under the Plan on or after
the Effective Date shall be fully effective as if the stockholders of the Company had approved the Plan on the Effective Date. If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within one year of the Effective Date, any Awards made hereunder shall be
null and void and of no effect.

(10) years after its adoption by the Board and may be terminated on any earlier date as provided in Section 5.3. 
  

	 	5.3.	Amendment and Termination of the Plan 

 The Board
may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Awards have not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent stated by
the Board, required by applicable law or required by applicable stock exchange listing requirements. No Awards shall be made after termination of the Plan. No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the
Grantee, impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore awarded under the Plan.

	 	6.1.	Service Providers and Other Persons. 

 Subject to
this Section 6, Awards may be made under the Plan to: (i) any Service Provider to the Company or of any Affiliate, including any Service Provider who is an officer or director of the Company, or of any Affiliate, as the Board shall
determine and designate from time to time and (ii) any other individual whose participation in the Plan is determined to be in the best interests of the Company by the Board. 
  

	 	6.2.	Successive Awards and Substitute Awards. 

 An
eligible person may receive more than one Award, subject to such restrictions as are provided herein. Notwithstanding Sections 8.1 and 9.1, the Option Price of an Option or the grant price of an SAR that is a Substitute Award may be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the original date of grant; provided, that, the Option Price or grant price is determined in accordance with the principles of Code Section 424 and the regulations
thereunder. 
  

	 	6.3.	Limitation on Shares of Stock Subject to Awards and Cash Awards. 

 During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act: 
 (i) the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Options that can be awarded under the Plan to any person eligible for an Award under Section 6 hereof is two million (2,000,000) per calendar year
except that in 

  

 7 

 
the case of a newly hired employee, such limit shall be three million (3,000,000) shares of Stock (in each case, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 17 hereof); 
 (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to SARs that can be awarded under the Plan to any person

 The preceding limitations in this
Section 6.3 are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17 hereof. 
  

	7.	AWARD AGREEMENT 

 Each Award granted pursuant to the
Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, in such form or forms as the Board shall from time to time determine. Award Agreements granted from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions but shall be consistent with the
terms of the Plan. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options shall specify whether such Options are intended to be Non-qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the absence of such specification such options shall be
deemed Non-qualified Stock Options. 
  

	8.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS 

  

	 	8.1.	Option Price. 

 The Option Price of each Option
shall be fixed by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option. The Option Price of each Option shall be at least the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date of a share of Stock; provided, however, that in the event
that a Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, the Option Price of an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. In
no case shall the Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of a share of Stock. 
  

	 	8.2.	Vesting. 

 Subject to Sections 8.3 and 17.3
hereof, each Option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement. For purposes of this Section 8.2, fractional numbers of
shares of Stock subject to an Option shall be rounded down to the next nearest whole number. 
  

	 	8.3.	Term. 

 Each Option granted under the Plan shall
terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted, or under such circumstances 

  

 8 

 
and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option (the
“Termination Date”); provided, however, that in the event that the Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of five years from its Grant Date. 
  

	 	8.4.	Termination of Service. 

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

	 	8.5.	Limitations on Exercise of Option. 

 Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company as provided herein or after the occurrence of an event referred to in
Section 17 hereof which results in termination of the Option. 
  

	 	8.6.	Method of Exercise. 

 An Option that is exercisable
may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company of written notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office, on the form specified by the Company. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock
with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may,
in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to an Award. The minimum number of shares of Stock with respect to which an Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time shall be the lesser of (i) 100 shares or such lesser
number set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and (ii) the maximum number of shares available for purchase under the Option at the time of exercise. 
  

	 	8.7.	Rights of Holders of Options. 

 Unless otherwise
stated in the applicable Award Agreement, an individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the subject shares
of Stock or to direct the voting of the subject shares of Stock ) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 17 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance. 
  

	 	8.8.	Delivery of Stock Certificates. 

 Promptly after the
exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price, such Grantee shall be entitled to the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of the shares of Stock subject to the Option.

  

	 	8.9.	Transferability of Options. 

 Except as provided in
Section 8.10, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option. Except as provided in
Section 8.10, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	 	8.10.	Family Transfers. 

 If authorized in the applicable
Award Agreement, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 8.10, a 

  

 9 

 
“not for value” transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital
property rights; or (iii) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this
Section 8.10, any such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer. Subsequent transfers of transferred Options are prohibited except to Family Members of the
original Grantee in accordance with this Section 8.10 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The events of termination of Service of Section 8.4 hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original
Grantee, following which the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified, in Section 8.4. 
  

	 	8.11.	Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. 

 An Option
shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Grantee of such Option is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (ii) to the extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement; and (iii) to
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the first time during any calendar
year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Grantee’s employer and its Affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. This limitation shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted. 
  

	 	8.12.	Notification of Disqualifying Disposition. 

 If any
Participant shall make any disposition of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an ISO under the circumstances described in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Participant shall notify the Company of
such disposition within ten (10) days thereof. 
  

	9.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

  

	 	9.1.	Right to Payment and Grant Price. 

 An SAR shall
confer on the Grantee to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, 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 as determined by the Board.
The Award Agreement for an SAR shall specify the grant price of the SAR, which shall be at least the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant. SARs may be granted in conjunction with all or part of an Option granted under the Plan
or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option, in conjunction with all or part of any other Award or without regard to any Option or other Award; provided that an SAR that is granted subsequent to the Grant Date of a related Option must
have an SAR Price that is no less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the SAR Grant Date. 
  

	 	9.2.	Other Terms. 

 The Board shall determine at the date
of grant or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which an SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at which
SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Stock will be delivered or
deemed to be delivered to Grantees, whether or not an SAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. SARs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise
alienated, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	10.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS 

  

	 	10.1.	Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 

 Awards
of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be made for no consideration (other than par value of the shares which is deemed paid by Services already rendered). 
  

 10 

	 	10.2.	Restrictions. 

 At the time a grant of Restricted
Stock or Stock Units is made, the Board may, in its sole discretion, establish a period of time (a “restricted period”) applicable to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Each Award of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be subject to a
different restricted period. The Board may, in its sole discretion, at the time a grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the restricted period, including the
satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives, which may be applicable to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock or Stock Units in accordance with Section 14.1 and 14.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Restricted Stock and Stock Units that vest solely by the passage of time shall not vest in full in less than three (3) years from the Grant Date. Restricted Stock and Stock Units for which vesting may be accelerated by achieving performance
targets shall not vest in full in less than one (1) year from the Grant Date. Neither Restricted Stock nor Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or prior to
the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Board with respect to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 
  

	 	10.3.	Restricted Stock Certificates. 

 The Company shall
issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock has been granted, stock certificates representing the total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date. The Board
may provide in an Award Agreement that either (i) the Secretary of the Company shall hold such certificates for the Grantee’s benefit until such time as the Restricted Stock is forfeited to the Company or the restrictions lapse, or
(ii) such certificates shall be delivered to the Grantee, provided, however, that such certificates shall bear a legend or legends that comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and makes appropriate reference to
the restrictions imposed under the Plan and the Award Agreement. 
  

	 	10.4.	Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock. 

 Unless the
Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, holders of Restricted Stock shall have the right to vote such Stock and the right to receive any dividends declared or paid with respect to such Stock. The Board may provide that any dividends paid on
Restricted Stock must be reinvested in shares of Stock, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. All distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted
Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original Grant. 
  

	 	10.5.	Rights of Holders of Stock Units. 

  

	 	10.5.1.	Voting and Dividend Rights. 

 Holders of Stock Units
shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company. The Board may provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Stock Units that the holder of such Stock Units shall be entitled to receive, upon the Company’s payment of a cash dividend
on its outstanding Stock, a cash payment for each Stock Unit held equal to the per-share dividend paid on the Stock. Such Award Agreement may also provide that such cash payment will be deemed reinvested in additional Stock Units at a price per unit
equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date that such dividend is paid. 
  

	 	10.5.2.	Creditor’s Rights. 

 A holder of Stock Units
shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement. 
  

	 	10.6.	Termination of Service. 

 Unless the Board otherwise
provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a Grantee’s Service, any Restricted Stock or Stock Units held by such Grantee 

  

 11 

 
that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon
forfeiture of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Award, including but not limited to any right to vote Restricted Stock or any right to receive dividends with respect to shares of
Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 
  

	 	10.7.	Purchase of Restricted Stock. 

 The Grantee shall be
required, to the extent required by applicable law, to purchase the Restricted Stock from the Company at a Purchase Price equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such Restricted Stock or
(ii) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 12 or, in the discretion of the Board, in consideration for past
Services rendered to the Company or an Affiliate. 
  

	 	10.8.	Delivery of Stock. 

 Upon the expiration or
termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Board, the restrictions applicable to shares of Restricted Stock or Stock Units settled in Stock shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the
Award Agreement, a stock certificate for such shares shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee or the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. Neither the Grantee, nor the Grantee’s beneficiary or
estate, shall have any further rights with regard to a Stock Unit once the share of Stock represented by the Stock Unit has been delivered. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Company may elect to satisfy any
requirement under this Plan for the delivery of stock certificates through the use of book-entry. 
  

	11.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other higher purchase price determined by the Board) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any Grantee pursuant to which such Grantee may receive shares of Stock free of
any restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past services and other valid consideration, or in lieu of, or in addition to,
any cash compensation due to such Grantee. 
  

	12.	FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK 

  

	 	12.1.	General Rule. 

 Payment of the Option Price for the
shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company. 
  

	 	12.2.	Surrender of Stock. 

 To the extent the Award
Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock may be made all or in part through the tender to the Company of shares of Stock, which shall be
valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price or Purchase Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender. 
  

	 	12.3.	Cashless Exercise. 

 With respect to an Option only
(and not with respect to Restricted Stock), to the extent permitted by law and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part by
delivery (on a form acceptable to the Board) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the Option Price
and any withholding taxes described in Section 18.3. 
  

 12 

	 	12.4.	Other Forms of Payment. 

 To the extent the Award
Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws,
regulations and rules. 
  

	13.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS 

  

	 	13.1.	Dividend Equivalent Rights. 

 A Dividend Equivalent
Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash distributions that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued
to and held by the recipient. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any Grantee. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the grant. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend
Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment. Dividend
Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments, all determined in the sole discretion of the Board. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide
that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions
as such other award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other award. 
 Dividend Equivalent Rights may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise alienated, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	 	13.2.	Termination of Service. 

 Except as may otherwise be
provided by the Board either in the Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, a Grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest equivalents shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee’s
termination of Service for any reason. 
  

	14.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE SHARES, PERFORMANCE UNITS, PERFORMANCE AWARDS AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS 

  

	 	14.1.	Grant of Performance Units/Performance Shares. 

 Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Board, at any time and from time to time, may grant Performance Units and/or Performance Shares to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine.

  

	 	14.2.	Value of Performance Units/Performance Shares. 

 Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Board at the time of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. The Board shall set
performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or number of Performance Units/Performance Shares that will be paid out to the Participant. 
  

	 	14.3.	Earning of Performance Units/Performance Shares.

 Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Performance Shares shall be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of 

  

 13 

 
Performance Units/Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the
corresponding performance goals have been achieved. 
  

	 	14.4.	Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Performance Shares. 

 Payment of earned Performance Units/Performance Shares shall be as determined by the Board and as evidenced in the Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Board, in its sole discretion, may pay earned
Performance Units/Performance Shares in the form of cash or in shares (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Performance Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as practicable
after the end of the Performance Period. Any Shares may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award
Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award. 
  

	 	14.5.	Performance Conditions. 

 The right of a Grantee to
exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Board. The Board may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem
appropriate in establishing any performance conditions. If and to the extent required under Code Section 162(m), any power or authority relating to an Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), shall be exercised by the Committee
and not the Board. 
  

	 	14.6.	Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees. 

 If and to the extent that the Board determines that an Award to be granted to a Grantee who is designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered
Employee should qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Award shall be contingent upon achievement of pre-established performance goals and other
terms set forth in this Section 14.6. 
  

	 	14.6.1.	Performance Goals Generally. 

 The performance
goals for such Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 14.6. Performance goals
shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance
goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee may determine that such Awards shall be granted, exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a
condition to grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Awards. Performance goals may differ for Awards granted to any one Grantee or to different Grantees. 
  

	 	14.6.2.	Timing For Establishing Performance Goals. 

 Performance goals shall be established not later than 90 days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to such Awards, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based compensation”
under Code Section 162(m). 
  

	 	14.6.3.	Settlement of Awards; Other Terms. 

 Settlement of
such Awards shall be in cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Awards. The Committee shall
specify the circumstances in which such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of Service by the Grantee prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Awards.

	 	(t)	customer satisfaction as measured using the Net Promoter Score (NPS) metric (based on surveys of customers of the Company and its subsidiaries); or 

  

	 	(u)	any combination of any of the foregoing business criteria. 

 Any Performance Measure(s) may be used to measure the performance of the Company, Subsidiary, and/or Affiliate as a whole or any business unit of the Company, Subsidiary, and/or Affiliate or any combination thereof, as the Committee may
deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Measures as compared to the performance of a group of comparator companies, or published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or the Company may select
Performance Measure (e) above as compared to various stock market indices. Performance Measures may also be used to measure performance on a per share basis. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award
based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this Section 14. 
  

	 	14.6.5.	Evaluation of Performance.

 The Committee may
provide in any such Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occur during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs; (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (c) the
effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results; (d) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (e) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the applicable year; (f) acquisitions or
divestitures; and (g) foreign exchange gains and losses. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees, they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for
deductibility. 
  

	 	14.6.6.	Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation.

 Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Board shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis, or any combination as the
Committee determines. 
  

	 	14.6.7.	Board Discretion.

 In the event that applicable tax
and/or securities laws change to permit Board discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Board shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder
approval provided the exercise of such discretion does not violate Code Section 409A. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the
Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 12.1. 
  

	 	14.7.	Status of Section Awards Under Code Section 162(m). 

 It is the intent of the Company that Awards under Section 14.6 hereof granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered Employees within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations
thereunder shall, if so designated by the Committee, constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of Section 14.6,
including the definitions of Covered Employee and other terms used therein, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, because the Committee cannot determine
with certainty whether a given Grantee will be a Covered Employee with respect to a fiscal year that has not yet been completed, the term Covered Employee as used herein shall 

  

 16 

 
mean only a person designated by the Committee, at the time of grant of an Award, as likely to be a Covered Employee with respect to that fiscal year. If any
provision of the Plan or any agreement relating to such Awards does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such requirements. 
  

	15.	PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS 

 Except to the extent
provided in any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by a Grantee with the Company or any Affiliate (an “Other Agreement”), if the Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in
Section 280G(c) of the Code, any Option, Restricted Stock or Stock Unit held by that Grantee and any right to receive any payment or other benefit under this Plan shall not become exercisable or vested (i) to the extent that such right to
exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all benefit arrangements, would cause any payment or benefit to the Grantee under
this Plan to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”) and (ii) if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment, the
aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all benefit arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such
payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that the receipt of any such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit under this Plan, in conjunction with all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee
under any Other Agreement or any benefit arrangement would cause the Grantee to be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under this Plan that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount received by the Grantee as described in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the Grantee shall have the right, in the Grantee’s sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments, or benefits under this Plan, any Other Agreements, and any benefit arrangements that
should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan be deemed to be a Parachute Payment. 
  

	16.	REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 

  

	 	16.1.	General. 

 The Company shall not be required to sell
or issue any shares of Stock under any Award if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a violation by the Grantee, any other individual exercising an Option, or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares subject to an Award upon any
securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any other
individual exercising an Option pursuant to such Award unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby
shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Award. Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under such
Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Award, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue such shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other individual exercising
an Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to,
register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to comply
with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from
registration, the exercise of such Option (under 

  

 17 

 
circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of
such an exemption. 
  

	 	16.2.	Rule 16b-3. 

 During any time when the Company has a
class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Awards pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options granted hereunder will qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Board does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board, and shall not
affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the
revised exemption or its replacement. 
  

	17.	EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 

  

	 	17.1.	Changes in Stock. 

 If the number of outstanding
shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse
split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective
Date, the number and kinds of shares for which grants of Options and other Awards may be made under the Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which Awards are
outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate interest of the Grantee immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in
outstanding Options or SARs shall not change the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price payable with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of an outstanding Option or SAR, as applicable, but shall include a
corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the Company’s stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary dividend but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend of the Company)
without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Company shall, in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, adjust (i) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and/or (ii) the exercise price of outstanding
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to reflect such distribution. 
  

	 	17.2.	Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which does not Constitute a Corporate Transaction. 

 Subject to Section 17.3 hereof, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company
with one or more other entities which does not constitute a Corporate Transaction, any Option or SAR theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to
such Option or SAR would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price or
SAR Exercise Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price of the shares remaining subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Subject to any contrary
language in an Award Agreement evidencing an Award, any restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement shares received by the Grantee as a result of the reorganization, merger or consolidation. In the event of a
transaction described in this Section 17.2, Stock Units shall be adjusted so as to apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units would have been entitled to receive immediately following such
transaction. 
  

 18 

	 	17.3.	Corporate Transaction. 

 Subject to the exceptions
set forth in the last sentence of this Section 17.3 and the last sentence of Section 17.4, upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction:  
 (i) all outstanding shares of Restricted Stock shall be deemed to have vested, and all Stock Units shall be deemed to have vested and the shares of Stock subject thereto shall be delivered, immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Corporate Transaction, and 
 (ii) either of the following two actions shall be taken: 
 (A) fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all Options and SARs outstanding hereunder shall become
immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days, or 
 (B) the Board may elect, in its sole
discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, and/or SARs and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the
Board acting in good faith), in the case of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, equal to the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock and, in the case of Options or SARs, equal to the product of the number of shares of Stock
subject to the Option or SAR (the “Award Shares”) multiplied by the amount, if any, by which (I) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such transaction exceeds (II) the Option Price or SAR
Exercise Price applicable to such Award Shares. 
 With respect to the Company’s establishment of an exercise window, (i) any
exercise of an Option or SAR during such fifteen-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the event and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation of the event, and (ii) upon consummation of any Corporate
Transaction, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options and SARs shall terminate. The Board shall send written notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all individuals who hold Options and SARs not later than the time
at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders. This Section 17.3 shall not apply to any Corporate Transaction to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Corporate Transaction for the
assumption or continuation of the Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock for new common stock options and stock appreciation rights and
new common stock units and restricted stock relating to the stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common stock) and option
and stock appreciation right exercise prices, in which event the Plan, Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. 
  

	 	17.4.	Adjustments. 

 Adjustments under this
Section 17 related to shares of Stock or securities of the Company shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities shall be issued pursuant
to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share. The Board shall determine the effect of a Corporate Transaction upon Awards other than
Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock, and such effect shall be set forth in the appropriate Award Agreement. The Board may provide in the Award Agreements at the time of grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the Grantee, for
different provisions to apply to an Award in place of those described in Sections 17.1, 17.2 and 17.3. 
  

	 	17.5.	No Limitations on Company. 

 The making of Awards
pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or
to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  

 19 

	18.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

  

	 	18.1.	Disclaimer of Rights. 

 No provision in the Plan or
in any Award or Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company
either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual and the Company. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan
to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such Grantee continues to be a director, officer, consultant
or employee of the Company or an Affiliate. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions
prescribed herein. The Plan shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the
Plan. 
  

	 	18.2.	Nonexclusivity of the Plan. 

 Neither the adoption
of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which
arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan. 
  

	 	18.3.	Withholding Taxes. 

 The Company or an Affiliate, as
the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions
applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or pursuant to an Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Affiliate, as the case may be,
any amount that the Company or the Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or the Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or the Affiliate, as
the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or the Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (ii) by
delivering to the Company or the Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The Fair Market Value of the
shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or the Affiliate as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this
Section 18.3 may satisfy his or her withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may
be withheld from any Award to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding requirements upon the exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions applicable to such Award or payment of shares pursuant to such Award, as applicable, cannot exceed such
number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state or local taxing authority with respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions or
payment of shares. 
  

	 	18.4.	Captions. 

 The use of captions in this Plan or any
Award Agreement is for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement. 
  

 20 

	 	18.5.	Other Provisions. 

 Each Award granted under the
Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. 
  

	 	18.6.	Number and Gender. 

 With respect to words used in
this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc., as the context requires. 
  

	 	18.7.	Severability. 

 If any provision of the Plan or any
Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall
remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction. 
  

	 	18.8.	Governing Law. 

 The validity and construction of
this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan
and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 
  

	 	18.9.	Section 409A of the Code. 

 The Board intends
to comply with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), or an exemption to Section 409A, with regard to Awards hereunder that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent
that the Board determines that a Grantee would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award granted under this Plan, such
provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Board. 
 The Plan was adopted by the Board as of January 25, 2007 and approved by the stockholders on January 26, 2007. To record adoption of the
amendment to the Plan by the Board on March 26, 2008, and approval of the amendment to the Plan by the stockholders on May 20, 2008, the Company has caused its authorized officer to execute the Plan, as amended.

 21Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement

 Exhibit 10.6 
 SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND
SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made effective as of May     , 2008 by and between ACCESS WORLDWIDE COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (“Borrower”) and MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS
TRUST COMPANY (the “Lender”). 
 BACKGROUND 
 A. Borrower and Lender previously entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement dated August 8, 2007 as amended by that certain First
Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated November 15, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). 
 B. Borrower and Lender are entering into this Amendment to amend certain terms and conditions in the Loan Agreement. 
 C. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth therefor in the Loan Agreement. 
 NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing premises and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. The following defined term in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 “Applicable Margin is equal to the percent per annum in excess of the Prime Rate as set forth in the following pricing matrix:

  

						
	 Level
	  	Total Liabilities to
Net Worth Ratio	  	Prime Rate +	 
	 Level I
	  	<3.00	  	1.00	%
	 Level II
	  	33.00<3.50	  	1.25	%
	 Level III
	  	33.50	  	1.50	%

 From August 8, 2007 through November 15, 2007, the Applicable Margin for Advances under
the Revolving Credit Facility shall be the Applicable Margin set forth for Level II in the above-described pricing matrix. From November 15, 2007 until Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s audited consolidated and consolidating financial
statements for Borrower’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (“Applicable Margin Initial Reset Date”) the Applicable Margin for Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be the Applicable Margin set forth for
Level III in the above-described pricing matrix. Thereafter, the Applicable Margin shall be based upon the ratio of Total Liabilities to Net Worth of Borrower and its Subsidiaries adjusted on a quarterly 

 
basis as reflected on the consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 15.3
and on the Borrower’s 10-Q Report delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 15.6 and the compliance certificates delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 15.10 for each fiscal quarter ending after the
Applicable Margin Initial Reset Date, provided, however, if the consolidated financial statements or compliance certificates are not delivered at the time specified in Sections 15.3 and 15.10 below, then the Applicable
Margin for the Loan shall be the highest Applicable Margin set forth above for the Loan during any period that Borrower is delinquent in the delivery of such consolidated financial statements and compliance certificates or, at the option of Lender,
the Default Rate. The adjustment in the Applicable Margin, if any, shall be effective five (5) Business Days after the later of receipt by Lender of the consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered to Lender
pursuant to Section 15.3 or the compliance certificates delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 15.10 below. There shall be no reduction in the Applicable Margin if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing uncured and the Minimum Net Availability is less than $1,500,000. 
 Pledged Account means collectively those
certain certificated and uncertificated certificates of deposit or money market accounts of Borrower held by or with Bank and any and all renewals, replacements and substitutions of such certificates of deposit and money market accounts.”

 2. New Defined Terms. Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new
defined terms: 
 “Investment Account means that certain investment account number AZD-590628 with M&T Securities and
any and all replacement or substitution investment accounts. 
 Investment Account Control Agreement means that certain control
agreement dated May     , 2008 by and among Borrower, Lender and M&T Securities, pursuant to which Lender’s security interest in the Investment Account is confirmed and Lender is granted control over such
Investment Account.” 
 3. Borrowing Base. Section 2.3 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 “2.3. Borrowing Base. The “Borrowing Base” as of the
applicable date of determination shall be determined based upon the following advance rates and calculations: 
 (a) An
advance rate of up to 85% of the Value of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts; plus 
  

 -2- 

 (b) An advance rate of up to 100% of the cash held in the Pledged Account with Lender;
plus 
 (c) An advance rate of up to 100% of the cash held in the Investment Account with M&T Securities that is
subject to the Investment Account Control Agreement; plus 
 (d) An advance rate of up to 75% of the eligible
securities, including eligible Investment Property and eligible Financial Assets held in the Investment Account with M&T Securities that is subject to the Investment Account Control Agreement; minus 
 (e) All Reserves. 
 Percentages used from time to time in calculating the Borrowing Base are for the sole purpose of determining the maximum amount of Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility that may be outstanding from time to time under this Agreement
and shall not be evidentiary of or binding upon Lender with respect to the market value or liquidation value of any Collateral. In the event that Lender has any questions regarding Borrower’s calculation of the Borrowing Base, funding of
Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be subject to a resolution of such questions to Lender’s satisfaction. Any request for an Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility which, if funded, would result in the unpaid balance of an
Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility being in excess of the amount allowed by this Agreement may be declined by Lender in its sole discretion without prior notice.” 
 4. Borrower Sublimits. Section 2.4(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows: 
 “(b) Borrower Sublimits. Borrower shall only be entitled to receive Advances under the Revolving Credit
Facility based upon Availability determined by Borrower’s Eligible Accounts, the value of the cash in the Pledged Account and the value of the cash in the Investment Account.” 
 5. Pledged Account and Investment Account Withdrawals. Section 2.7 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 “2.7 Pledged Account and Investment Account Withdrawals. Borrower may, from
time to time, withdraw cash from the Pledged Account and/or the Investment Account, provided that: 
 (a) No
Default or Event of Default has occurred or will occur as a result of such withdrawal; 
  

 -3- 

 (b) Borrower shall provide Lender with two (2) Business Days written notice of its
intent to withdraw such cash together with projections setting forth Borrower’s anticipated use of such cash, satisfactory to Lender; 
 (c) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the aggregate amount of cash being withdrawn from such Pledged Account and/or such Investment Account; 
 (d) To the extent such withdrawal causes the Revolving Credit Facility Usage to exceed the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall pay to Lender in
immediately available funds the amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base; 
 (e) Lender
shall have no obligation to make an Advance or release cash from the Pledged Account if such Advance or release would cause the Borrowing Base to exceed the Revolving Credit Facility Usage; and 
 (f) After such withdrawal, Borrower’s Minimum Net Availability is at least $2,000,000.” 
 6. Collateral Management Fee. Section 7.9 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows: 
 “7.9 Collateral Management Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a monthly collateral management fee in the
amount of $3,000, payable on the date hereof and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, in advance, which fee shall be fully earned by Lender on the date that Lender makes the initial Advance and on the first day of each month
thereafter.” 
 7. Security Interest. Pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower
previously granted to Lender a first priority, perfected security interest in all Personal Property of Borrower, including without limitation all of Borrower’s present and future Financial Assets and Investment Property. Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Investment Account constitutes a Financial Asset and/or Investment Property of Borrower. Borrower further hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Investment Account together with all Financial Assets or Investment
Property credited to the Investment Account and all additions, substitutions, replacements, proceeds, income, dividends and distributions thereon are subject to the first priority, perfected security interest previously granted by Borrower in favor
of Lender. 
 8. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Lender agrees to waive defaults existing for the fiscal quarter ending
March 31, 2008, with respect to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 14.1 of the Loan Agreement prior to its amendment pursuant hereto. Effective as of the date hereof, and at all times hereafter,
Section 14.1 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: 
  

 -4-
