efforts toward the growth, profitability, and success of the Company and Subsidiaries by providing incentives to such Employees, Nonemployee Directors and 

 Independent Contractors either through cash payments and/or through the ownership and performance of the Common Stock. In

approved by the stockholders of the Company at an annual meeting or any special meeting of stockholders of the Company within 12 months before or after the Effective Date, and such approval by the stockholders of the Company shall be a condition to

type or amount of Award as granted to the Participant in any other year. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards. 
 4.0 ADMINISTRATION 
 4.1 RESPONSIBILITY.
The Committee shall have the responsibility, in its sole discretion, to control, operate, manage and administer the Plan in accordance with its terms. 
 4.2 AWARD AGREEMENT. Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall be signed by the Committee and the Participant; provided, however, that in the event of any

execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee. 
 4.5 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. The Committee may delegate to one or
more of its members, or to one or more agents, such administrative duties as it may deem advisable; provided, however, that any such delegation shall be in writing. In addition, the Committee, or any person to whom it has delegated duties under this
Section 4.5, may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The Committee may employ such legal or other counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem
desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion or computation received from any such counsel, consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee in the engagement of such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by
the Company, or the Subsidiary whose employees have benefited from the Plan, as determined by the Committee. 
 4.6 DETERMINATIONS
AND INTERPRETATIONS BY THE COMMITTEE. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all Participants and their heirs, successors, and legal representatives. 
 4.7 LIABILITY. No member of the Board, no member of the Committee and no employee of the Company shall be liable for any act or failure to
act hereunder, except in circumstances involving his or her bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for any act or failure to act hereunder by any other member or employee or by any agent to whom duties in connection with the
administration of the Plan have been delegated. 
 4.8 INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify members of the Committee and
any agent of the Committee who is an employee of the Company, against any and all liabilities or expenses to which they may be subjected by reason of any act or failure to act with respect to their duties on behalf of the Plan, except in
circumstances involving such person’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 5.0 SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN 
 5.1 AVAILABLE SHARES. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which shall be available for grants or payments of Awards under the Plan
during its term shall be 38,261,580 shares. Such share reserve includes a share increase of 761,580 shares authorized by the Board on April 12, 2006, subject to stockholder approval at the 2006 Annual Meeting. The shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, shares of issued stock held in the Company’s treasury, or both, at the discretion of the Company, and subject to any adjustments made in accordance with
Section 5.2 below. Any shares of Common Stock underlying Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares shall again be available for grants of Awards under the Plan. Awards that
are payable only in cash are not subject to this Section 5.1. 
 5.2 ADJUSTMENT TO SHARES. If there is any change in the
Common Stock of the Company, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like
change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company, an adjustment shall be made to each outstanding Award so that each such Award shall thereafter be with respect to or exercisable for such
securities, cash and/or other property as would have been received in respect of the Common Stock subject to such Award had such Award been paid, distributed or 

 exercised in full immediately prior to such change or distribution. Such adjustment shall be made successively each time
any such change shall occur. In addition, in the event of any such change or distribution, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to adjust, in an equitable
manner, the maximum number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan, the maximum number and kind of shares for which Awards measured in shares of Common Stock may be made to any one Participant over the term of the Plan, the number and
kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, the exercise price applicable to outstanding Stock Options, and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and other value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards. Appropriate adjustments may also
be made by the Committee in the terms of any Awards granted under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Awards on an equitable basis, including modifications of performance goals and changes
in the length of performance periods; provided, however, that with respect to Performance-Based Awards, such modifications and/or changes do not disqualify the compensation attributable to such Awards as “performance-based compensation”
under Code Section 162(m). In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or the financial
statements of the Company, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan, any adjustment with respect to an ISO due to a change or distribution described in this
Section 5.2 shall comply with the rules of Code Section 424(a), and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any ISO granted hereunder other than an incentive stock option for purposes of Code Section 422.

 6.0 MAXIMUM INDIVIDUAL AWARDS 
 6.1 MAXIMUM AGGREGATE NUMBER OF SHARES UNDERLYING STOCK-BASED AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN TO ANY SINGLE PARTICIPANT. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying all Awards measured in shares of Common
Stock (whether payable in Common Stock, cash or a combination of both) that may be granted to any single Participant during the life of the Plan shall be 9,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.2 above. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, such Awards that are cancelled or repriced shall continue to be counted in determining such maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted to any single Participant during the life of the Plan.

 6.2 MAXIMUM DOLLAR AMOUNT UNDERLYING CASH-BASED AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN TO ANY SINGLE PARTICIPANT. The maximum dollar
amount that may be paid to any single Participant with respect to all Awards measured in cash (whether payable in Common Stock, cash or a combination of both) during the life of the Plan shall be $10,000,000. 
 7.0 STOCK OPTIONS 
 7.1 IN GENERAL.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Stock Options to Employees, Nonemployee Directors and Independent Contractors on or after the Effective Date. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the Employees, the Nonemployee
Directors and Independent Contractors who will receive Stock Options and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying each Stock Option. With respect to Employees who become Participants, the Committee may grant such Participants ISOs or
Nonqualified Stock Options or a combination of both. With respect to Nonemployee Directors and Independent Contractors who become Participants, the Committee may grant such Participants only Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Stock Option shall be
subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the Committee may impose from time to time. In addition, each Stock Option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in Sections 7.2 through 7.8 below.

 7.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The Committee shall specify the exercise price of each Stock Option in the Award Agreement; provided,
however, that the exercise price of any ISO or Nonqualified Stock Option shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. 
 7.3 TERM OF STOCK OPTION. The Committee shall specify the term of each Stock Option in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that
(i) no ISO shall be exercised after the 10th anniversary of the date of grant of such ISO and (ii) no Nonqualified Stock Option shall be exercised after the 10th 

 anniversary of the date of grant of such Nonqualified Stock Option. Each Stock Option shall terminate at such earlier
times and upon such conditions or circumstances as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, set forth in the Award Agreement on the date of grant. 
 7.4 VESTING DATE. The Committee shall specify the Vesting Date with respect to each Stock Option in the Award Agreement. The Committee may grant Stock Options that are Vested, either in whole or in part,
on the date of grant. If the Committee fails to specify a Vesting Date in the Award Agreement, 25 percent of such Stock Option shall become exercisable on each of the first 4 anniversaries of the date of grant and shall remain exercisable following
such anniversary date until the Stock Option expires in accordance with its terms under the Award Agreement or under the terms of the Plan. The Vesting of a Stock Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions as shall be determined by the
Committee, including, without limitation, accelerating the Vesting if certain performance goals are achieved. 
 7.5 EXERCISE OF
STOCK OPTIONS. The Stock Option exercise price may be paid in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Participant, by the withholding of shares of Common Stock for which a
Stock Option is exercisable, or by a combination of these methods. In the sole discretion of the Committee, payment may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to
a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The Committee
may prescribe any other method of paying the exercise price that it determines to be consistent with applicable law and the purpose of the Plan, including, without limitation, in lieu of the exercise of a Stock Option by delivery of shares of Common
Stock then owned by a Participant, providing the Company with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned by the Participant, where upon verification by the Company, the Company would issue to the Participant only the number of
incremental shares to which the Participant is entitled upon exercise of the Stock Option. In determining which methods a Participant may utilize to pay the exercise price, the Committee may consider such factors as it determines are appropriate;
provided, however, that with respect to ISOs, all such discretionary determinations by the Committee shall be made at the time of grant and specified in the Award Agreement. 
 7.6 RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO ISOS. In addition to being subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7, ISOs shall comply with
all other requirements under Code Section 422. Accordingly, ISOs may be granted only to Participants who are employees (as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-7(h)) of the Company or of any “Parent Corporation” (as
defined in Code Section 424(e)) or of any “Subsidiary Corporation” (as defined in Code Section 424(f)) on the date of grant. The aggregate market value (determined as of the time the ISO is granted) of the Common Stock with
respect to which ISOs (under all option plans of the Company and of any Parent Corporation and of any Subsidiary Corporation) are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, ISOs shall be taken into account in the order in which they are granted. ISOs shall not be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during the
Participant’s lifetime, only by such Participant. The Committee shall not grant ISOs to any Employee who, at the time the ISO is granted, owns stock possessing (after the application of the attribution rules of Code Section 424(d)) more
than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent Corporation or of any Subsidiary Corporation unless the exercise price of the ISO is fixed at not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the exercise of such ISO is prohibited by its terms after the 5th anniversary of the ISO’s date of grant. In addition, no ISO shall be issued to a Participant in tandem with a Nonqualified
Stock Option issued to such Participant in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 14a.422A-1, Q/A-39. 
 7.7 ADDITIONAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The Committee may, by way of the Award Agreements or otherwise, establish such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of any Stock Option, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan,
including, without limitation, the requirement that the Participant not engage in competition with the Company. 

 7.8 CONVERSION STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant a Stock Option
to any holder of an option (hereinafter referred to as an “Original Option”) to purchase shares of the stock of any corporation: 
 (a) the stock or assets of which were acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any Subsidiary, or 
 (b) which was merged with and into the Company or a Subsidiary, 
 so that the Original Option is converted into a
Stock Option (hereinafter referred to as a “Conversion Stock Option”); provided, however, that such Conversion Stock Option as of the date of its grant (the “Conversion Stock Option Grant Date”) shall have the same economic value
as the Original Option as of the Conversion Stock Option Grant Date. In addition, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion determines otherwise, a Conversion Stock Option which is converting an Original Option intended to qualify as an ISO shall
have the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Original Option in accordance with Code Section 424 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder so that the conversion (x) is treated as the issuance or assumption of a stock option under
Code Section 424(a) and (y) is not treated as a modification, extension or renewal of a stock option under Code Section 424(h). 
 8.0 SARS 
 8.1 IN GENERAL. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant SARs to Employees, Nonemployee
Directors, and/or Independent Contractors. An SAR is a right to receive a payment in cash, Common Stock or a combination of both, in an amount equal to the excess of (x) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, or other specified valuation,
of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised over (y) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, or other specified valuation (which shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock), of such
shares of Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted, all as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that if a SAR is granted retroactively in tandem with or in substitution for a Stock Option, the designated Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock in the Award Agreement may be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date such Stock Option was granted. Each SAR shall be subject to such terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, a provision that automatically converts a
SAR into a Stock Option on a conversion date specified at the time of grant, as the Committee shall impose from time to time in its sole discretion and subject to the terms of the Plan. 
 9.0 STOCK AWARDS AND STOCK UNITS 
 9.1 STOCK AWARDS. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, grant Stock Awards to Employees, Nonemployee Directors, and/or Independent Contractors as additional compensation or in lieu of other compensation for services to the Company. A Stock Award shall consist of shares of Common Stock which
shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion determines appropriate including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares, the Vesting Date with respect to such shares,
and the right of the Company to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the Participant’s employment within specified periods. The Committee may require the Participant to deliver a duly signed stock power, endorsed in
blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Stock Award and/or that the stock certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody or bear restrictive legends until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed. With respect to the shares of

limitation, determinations of the Vesting Date with respect to such Stock Units and the criteria for the Vesting of such Stock Units. A Stock Unit granted by the Committee shall provide for payment in shares of 

 Common Stock at such time or times as the Award Agreement shall specify. The Committee shall determine whether a
Participant who has been granted a Stock Unit shall also be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Right. 
 9.3 PAYOUT OF STOCK UNITS.
Subject to a Participant’s election to defer in accordance with Section 17.3 below, upon the Vesting of a Stock Unit, the shares of Common Stock representing the Stock Unit shall be distributed to the Participant, unless the Committee,

10.0 PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS 
 10.1 PERFORMANCE SHARES. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Performance Shares to Employees, Nonemployee Directors, and/or Independent Contractors as additional compensation or in lieu of other compensation for
services to the Company. A Performance Share shall consist of a share or shares of Common Stock which shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate including, without limitation,
determining the performance goal or goals which, depending on the extent to which such goals are met, will determine the number and/or value of the Performance Shares that will be paid out or distributed to the Participant who has been granted
Performance Shares. Performance goals may be based on, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional and/or individual performance, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine, and may be based on the performance measures listed in

account which shall be established and maintained (or caused to be established or maintained) by the Company for such Participant who receives a grant of Performance Units. Performance Units shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate including, without limitation, determining the performance goal or goals which, depending on the extent to which such goals are met, will determine the number and/or value of the Performance
Units that will be accrued with respect to the Participant who has been granted Performance Units. Performance goals may be based on, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional and/or individual performance, as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may determine, and may be based on the performance measures listed in Section 12.3 below. 
 10.3 ADJUSTMENT OF
PERFORMANCE GOALS. With respect to those Performance Shares or Performance Units that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards (as described in Section 12 below), the Committee shall have the authority at any time to make
adjustments to performance goals for any outstanding Performance Shares or Performance Units which the Committee deems necessary or desirable unless at the time of establishment of the performance goals the Committee shall have precluded its
authority to make such adjustments. 
 10.4 PAYOUT OF PERFORMANCE SHARES OR PERFORMANCE UNITS. Subject to a Participant’s
election to defer in accordance with Section 17.3 below, upon the Vesting of a Performance Share or a Performance Unit, the shares of Common Stock representing the Performance Share or the Performance Unit shall be distributed to the
Participant, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, provides for the payment of the Performance Share or a Performance Unit in cash (or partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock) equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock
which would otherwise be distributed to the Participant. 
 11.0 CASH AWARDS 
 11.1 IN GENERAL. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Cash Awards to Employees, Nonemployee Directors, and/or Independent
Contractors as additional compensation or in lieu of other compensation for services to the Company. A Cash Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate including, without
limitation, determining the Vesting Date with respect to such Cash Award, the criteria for the Vesting of such Cash Award, and the right of the Company to require the Participant to repay the Cash Award (with or without interest) upon termination of
the Participant’s employment within specified periods. 

 12.0 PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS 
 12.1 IN GENERAL. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may designate Awards granted under the Plan as Performance-Based Awards (as defined below) if it determines that such compensation might not be tax
deductible by the Company due to the deduction limitation imposed by Code Section 162(m). Accordingly, an Award granted under the Plan may be granted in such a manner that the compensation attributable to such Award is intended by the Committee
to qualify as “performance-based compensation” (as such term is used in Code Section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) and thus be exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Code Section 162(m)
(“Performance-Based Awards”). 
 12.2 QUALIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. Awards shall only qualify as
Performance-Based Awards under the Plan if: 
 (a) at the time of grant the Committee is comprised solely of two or
more “outside directors” (as such term is used in Code Section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder); 
 (b) with respect to either the granting or Vesting of an Award (other than (i) a Nonqualified Stock Option or (ii) an SAR, which are granted with an exercise price at or above the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant), such Award is subject to the achievement of a performance goal or goals based on one or more of the performance measures specified in Section 12.3 below; 
 (c) the Committee establishes in writing (i) the objective performance-based goals applicable to a given performance
period and (ii) the individual employees or class of employees to which such performance-based goals apply no later than 90 days after the commencement of such performance period (but in no event after 25 percent of such performance period has
elapsed); 
 (d) no compensation attributable to a Performance-Based Award will be paid to or otherwise received by a
Participant until the Committee certifies in writing that the performance goal or goals (and any other material terms) applicable to such performance period have been satisfied; 
 (e) after the establishment of a performance goal, the Committee shall not revise such performance goal (unless such revision will
not disqualify compensation attributable to the Award as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m)) or increase the amount of compensation payable with respect to such Award upon the attainment of such performance
goal; and 
 (f) no vesting requirements tied to the attainment of such performance goals may be waived with respect to
Performance-Based Awards, except in the event of a Change in Control or certain involuntary terminations of employment or service prior to the completion of the performance period. 
 12.3 PERFORMANCE MEASURES. The Committee may use the following performance measures (either individually or in any combination) to set
performance goals with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards: net sales; pretax income before allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; budget; cash flow; earnings per share; net income; division, group or corporate
financial goals; return on stockholders’ equity; return on assets; attainment of strategic and operational initiatives; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the Common Stock or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company;
market share; gross profits; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense; economic value-added
models; comparisons with various stock market indices; increase in number of customers; and/or reductions in costs. The performance measures may, at the time they are established for one or more such Performance-Based Awards, be subject to
adjustment for one or more of the following items: extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain, loss or expense; items of gain, loss or expense related to (a) the disposal of a business or discontinued operations or (b) the
operations of any business acquired by the Company; accruals for reorganization and restructuring cost and expenses; and items of gain, loss or expense attributable to changes in tax laws and regulations, accounting principles or other applicable
laws or regulations. 

 12.4 STOCKHOLDER REAPPROVAL. As required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(vi),
the material terms of performance goals as described in this Section 12 shall be disclosed to and reapproved by the Company’s stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the 5th year following the year in which
the Company’s stockholders previously approved such performance goals. 
 13.0 CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 13.1 ACCELERATED VESTING. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if there is a Change in Control of the Company,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may take such actions as it deems appropriate with respect to outstanding Awards, including, without limitation, accelerating the Vesting Date and/or payout of such Awards; provided, however, that such action
shall not conflict with any provision contained in an Award Agreement unless such provision is amended in accordance with Section 16.3 below. 
 13.2 CASHOUT. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, all or a portion of certain outstanding Awards shall terminate within a specified number of days
after notice to the holders, and each such holder shall receive an amount equal to the value of such Award on the date of the change in control, and with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option or SAR, an amount equal to the
excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such change in control over the exercise price per share of such Stock Option or SAR. Such amount shall be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of
property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
 13.3 ASSUMPTION OR SUBSTITUTION OF AWARDS. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that an Award may be assumed by any entity
which acquires control of the Company or may be substituted by a similar award under such entity’s compensation plans. 
 14.0 TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT IF PARTICIPANT IS AN EMPLOYEE 
 14.1 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY. Subject to any written
agreement between the Company and a Participant, if a Participant’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability: 
 (a) all non-Vested portions of Awards held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s death or the date of the termination of his or her employment, as the case may be, shall immediately be forfeited by such Participant
as of such date; and 
 (b) all Vested portions of Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant on the date of the
Participant’s death or the date of the termination of his or her employment, as the case may be, shall remain exercisable until the earlier of: 
 (i) the end of the 12-month period following the date of the Participant’s death or the date of the termination of his or her employment, as the case may be, or 
 (ii) the date the Stock Option or SAR would otherwise expire. 
 14.2 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR CAUSE. Subject to any written agreement between the Company and a Participant, if a Participant’s
employment is terminated by the Company for cause, all Awards held by a Participant on the date of the termination of his or her employment for cause, whether Vested or non-Vested, shall immediately be forfeited by such Participant as of such date.

 14.3 OTHER TERMINATIONS OF EMPLOYMENT. Subject to any written agreement between the Company and a Participant, if a
Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause or other than due to death or Disability: 
 (a) all non-Vested portions of Awards held by the Participant on the date of the termination of his or her employment shall immediately be forfeited by such Participant as of such date; and 
 (b) all Vested portions of Stock Options and/or SARs held by the Participant on the date of the termination of his or her
employment shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the end of the 90-day period following the date of the termination of the Participant’s employment or (ii) the date the Stock Option or SAR would otherwise expire.

 14.4 COMMITTEE DISCRETION. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary,
the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that: 
 (a) any or all non-Vested portions of Stock Options and/or
SARs held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s death and/or the date of the termination of his or her employment shall immediately become exercisable as of such date and, except with respect to ISOs, shall remain exercisable
until a date that occurs on or prior to the date the Stock Option or SAR is scheduled to expire; 
 (b) any or all
Vested portions of Nonqualified Stock Options and/or SARs held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s death and/or the date of the termination of his or her employment shall remain exercisable until a date that occurs on or prior
to the date the Stock Option or SAR is scheduled to expire; and/or 
 (c) any or all non-Vested portions of Stock
Awards, Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, and/or Cash Awards held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s death and/or the date of the termination of his or her employment shall immediately Vest or shall become
Vested on a date that occurs on or prior to the date the Award is scheduled to vest; provided, however, that the Committee shall not exercise such discretion with respect to any Performance-Based Award if and to the extent the provision for such
accelerated vesting would otherwise disqualify the compensation attributable to that Award as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). 
 14.5 ISOS. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, (i) the provisions contained in this Section 14 shall be applied to an ISO only if the application of such provision
maintains the treatment of such ISO as an ISO and (ii) the exercise period of an ISO in the event of a termination of the Participant’s employment due to Disability provided in Section 14.1 above shall be applied only if the
Participant is “permanently and totally disabled” (as such term is defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)). 
 15.0 TAXES 
 15.1 WITHHOLDING TAXES. With respect to Employees, the Company, or the applicable Subsidiary, may require a Participant who has become vested
in his or her Stock Award, Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit granted hereunder, or who exercises a Stock Option or SAR granted hereunder to reimburse the corporation which employs such Participant for any taxes required by any
governmental regulatory authority to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by such corporation or entity in respect of the issuance or disposition of such shares or the payment of any amounts. In lieu thereof, the corporation or entity which
employs such Participant shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from such corporation or entity to the Participant upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall prescribe. The
corporation or entity that employs such Participant may, in its discretion, hold the stock certificate to which such Participant is entitled upon the vesting of a Stock Award, Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit or the exercise of a
Stock Option or SAR as security for the payment of such withholding tax liability, until cash sufficient to pay that liability has been accumulated. 
 15.2 USE OF COMMON STOCK TO SATISFY WITHHOLDING OBLIGATION. With respect to Employees, at any time that the Company, Subsidiary or other entity that employs such Participant becomes subject to a
withholding obligation under applicable law with respect to the vesting of a Stock Award, Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit or the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option (the “Tax Date”), except as set forth below, a
holder of such Award may elect to satisfy, in whole or in part, the holder’s related personal tax liabilities (an “Election”) by (i) directing the Company, Subsidiary or other entity that employs such Participant to withhold from
shares issuable in connection with such vesting or exercise either a specified number of shares or shares of Common Stock having a specified value (in each case limited to the related minimum statutory personal withholding tax liabilities with
respect to the applicable taxing jurisdiction so as to preclude any “liability” accounting treatment for the Award pursuant to the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), (ii) tendering shares of 

 Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option or other shares of the Common Stock owned by
the holder, or (iii) combining any or all of the foregoing Elections in any fashion. An Election shall be irrevocable. The withheld shares and other shares of Common Stock tendered in payment shall be valued at their Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on the Tax Date. The Committee may disapprove of any Election, suspend or terminate the right to make Elections or provide that the right to make Elections shall not apply to particular shares or exercises. The Committee may impose any
additional conditions or restrictions on the right to make an Election as it shall deem appropriate, including conditions or restrictions with respect to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. 
 15.3 NO GUARANTEE OF TAX CONSEQUENCES. No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and any
Subsidiary and their directors, officers, agents and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be
applicable with respect to amounts deferred under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan. 

16.0 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 16.1 TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that no action authorized by this Section 16.1 shall reduce the amount of any outstanding
Award or change the terms and conditions thereof without the Participant’s consent. 
 16.2 AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board may
amend the Plan at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that no action authorized by this Section 16.2 shall reduce the amount of any outstanding Award or change the terms and conditions thereof without the
Participant’s consent. No amendment of the Plan shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company: 
 (a)
increase the total number of shares which may be issued under the Plan; 
 (b) increase the maximum number of
shares with respect to all Awards measured in Common Stock that may be granted to any individual under the Plan; 
 (c)
increase the maximum dollar amount that may be paid with respect to all Awards measured in cash; or 
 (d) modify
the requirements as to eligibility for Awards under the Plan. 
 In addition, the Plan shall not be amended without the approval of such amendment by the
Company’s stockholders if such amendment is (i) required under the rules and regulations of the stock exchange or national market system on which the Common Stock is listed or (ii) otherwise considered material in the reasonable
judgment of the Committee. 
 16.3 AMENDMENT OR CANCELLATION OF AWARD AGREEMENTS. The Committee may amend or modify any Award
Agreement at any time by mutual agreement between the Committee and the Participant or such other persons as may then have an interest therein. In addition, by mutual agreement between the Committee and a Participant or such other persons as may
then have an interest therein, Awards may be granted to an Employee, Nonemployee Director or Independent Contractor in substitution and exchange for, and in cancellation of, any Awards previously granted to such Employee, Nonemployee Director or
Independent Contractor under the Plan, or any award previously granted to such Employee, Nonemployee Director or Independent Contractor under any other present or future plan of the Company or any present or future plan of an entity which
(i) is purchased by the Company, (ii) purchases the Company, or (iii) merges into or with the Company. 
 17.0 MISCELLANEOUS

 17.1 OTHER PROVISIONS. Awards granted under the Plan may also be subject to such other provisions (whether or not
applicable to the Award granted to any other Participant) as the Committee determines on the date of grant to be appropriate, including, without limitation, for the installment purchase of Common Stock under Stock Options, to assist the Participant
in financing the acquisition of Common Stock, for the forfeiture of, or restrictions on resale or other disposition of, Common Stock acquired under 

 any Stock Option, for the acceleration of Vesting of Awards in the event of a change in control of the Company, for the
payment of the value of Awards to Participants in the event of a change in control of the Company, or to comply with federal and state securities laws, or understandings or conditions as to the Participant’s employment in addition to those
specifically provided for under the Plan. 
 17.2 TRANSFERABILITY. Each Award granted under the Plan to a Participant shall not
be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and Stock Options and SARs shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. In the event of the death of a Participant, each Stock
Option or SAR theretofore granted to him or her shall be exercisable during such period after his or her death as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, set forth in the Award Agreement on the date of grant and then only by the executor or
administrator of the estate of the deceased Participant or the person or persons to whom the deceased Participant’s rights under the Stock Option or SAR shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the transferability of a Stock Option (other than an ISO) by a Participant solely to members of the Participant’s immediate family or trusts or family partnerships or other similar entities for
the benefit of such persons, and subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, as the Committee may establish and include in the Award Agreement. 
 17.3 ELECTION TO DEFER COMPENSATION ATTRIBUTABLE TO AWARD. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow a Participant to elect to defer
the receipt of any compensation attributable to an Award under guidelines and procedures to be established by the Committee after taking into account the advice of the Company’s tax counsel. 
 17.4 LISTING OF SHARES AND RELATED MATTERS. If at any time the Committee shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of
the shares of Common Stock subject to any Award on any securities exchange or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
granting of an Award or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder, such Award may not be exercised, distributed or paid out, as the case may be, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 
 17.5 NO RIGHT, TITLE, OR INTEREST IN
COMPANY ASSETS. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant
to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right
to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special
or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended. 
 17.6 NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE OR TO GRANTS. The Participant’s rights, if any, to
continue to serve the Company as a director, officer, employee, independent contractor or otherwise, shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a Participant under the Plan, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary
reserves the right to terminate the employment of any Employee or the services of any Independent Contractor or director at any time. The adoption of the Plan shall not be deemed to give any Employee, Nonemployee Director, Independent Contractor or
any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award. 
 17.7 AWARDS SUBJECT TO FOREIGN LAWS.
The Committee may grant Awards to individual Participants who are subject to the tax laws of nations other than the United States, and such Awards may have terms and conditions as determined by the Committee as necessary to comply with
applicable foreign laws. The Committee may take any action which it deems advisable to obtain approval of such Awards by the appropriate foreign governmental entity; provided, however, that no such Awards may be granted pursuant to this
Section 16.6 and no action may be taken which would result in a violation of the Exchange Act or any other applicable law. 

 17.8 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan, all Awards granted hereunder, and all actions taken in
connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law. 
 17.9 OTHER BENEFITS. No Award granted under the Plan shall be considered compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement
plan of the Company or any Subsidiary nor affect any benefits or compensation under any other benefit or compensation plan of the Company or any Subsidiary now or subsequently in effect. 
 17.10 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The
Committee shall determine whether cash, Common Stock, Stock Options, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

 17.11 PROHIBITION ON REPRICING OF OPTIONS. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may not,
without the consent of the Company’s stockholders, reprice any outstanding Award; provided, however, that stock splits, stock dividends and similar events as set forth in Section 5.2 herein shall not be deemed to be a repricing hereunder.

 17.12 MINIMUM VESTING PERIODS. Except as set forth in Section 14 herein and notwithstanding any other provision set forth
in the Plan to the contrary, (a) any Award (other than a Stock Option or SAR) that is not subject to performance criteria shall Vest over a service period of at least three years, with such vesting to occur in equal installments over such three
year period, and (b) any Award (other than a Stock Option or SAR) that is subject to performance criteria shall Vest over a performance period of at least 12 months in one or more installments over that period.SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN

 Exhibit 10.1 
 MICROSTRATEGY INCORPORATED 
 Second Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan 
 Amendment to Stock Option Agreement for Non-Employee Director 
 This Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Stock Option Agreement for Non-Employee Director relating to that certain stock option granted by MicroStrategy Incorporated (the “Company”) to F. David Fowler
(the “Participant”) on June 7, 2001 (the “Option Agreement”), is made by the Company pursuant to Section 7(h) of the MicroStrategy Incorporated Second Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, as may be amended (the

 1. Section 2 of the Option Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in lieu thereof: 
 “2. Vesting Schedule. 
 As used herein, the term “vested” shall mean that portion of this option that is exercisable. This option shall vest in accordance with the following schedule: (i) no portion of this option shall be

the second anniversary of your Date of Grant; (iv) twenty percent (20%) of this option shall be vested on the third anniversary of your Date of Grant; (iv) twenty percent (20%) of this option shall be vested on the fourth

you do not exercise this option to the maximum extent permissible in any period, it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all vested shares until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the termination of this option
under Section 3 below or under the Plan.” 
 2. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Option Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms. 
 3. This Amendment shall be governed by Virginia law except for that body of law pertaining
to conflict of laws.
