 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of August 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Employer”) and Brian T. O’Malley
(“Executive”). 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by the Employer as its Chief Operating Officer and desires to continue such employment on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Employer desires to continue Executive’s employment
with the Employer as its Chief Operating Officer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows.

 AGREEMENTS 
 1. Employment. Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 1(c) hereof (the “Employment
Period”). 
 (a) Position and Duties. 

(i) During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as the Chief Operating Officer of the Employer and shall have the
normal duties, responsibilities and authority implied by such position and such other duties and responsibilities as are assigned by the Chief Executive Officer and/or his or her designee. 

(ii) During the Employment Period, Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer and/or his or her designee, and
Executive shall devote Executive’s best efforts and Executive’s full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Employer and its Affiliates. Executive shall not engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business,
investment or activity that (a) interferes with the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement (which shall include the preceding sentence), (b) is contrary to the interests of the Employer or any of its Affiliates or
(c) requires any portion of Executive’s business time; provided, however, that, to the extent that the following does not impair Executive’s ability to perform Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement (which shall include
the preceding sentence), Executive, with the Board’s 

 
prior written approval (which approval may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Board), may serve on the board or committee of any charitable, religious, or educational institution.

 (b) Salary, Bonus, Benefits and Expenses. 

(i) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Employer will pay Executive a base salary of $218,000 per annum (the
“Base Salary”). The Board may review the Base Salary of Executive and may adjust the Base Salary by such amount as the Board, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. The term “Base Salary” as used in this
Agreement shall refer to the Base Salary as it may be so adjusted. 
 (ii) Annual
Bonus. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) based upon the achievement of corporate and/or individual performance goals established by the Board in its sole and
absolute discretion. Any Annual Bonus earned by Executive shall be paid to Executive no later than
March 15th of the year following the year to which
such Annual Bonus relates; provided, that no Annual Bonus will be paid to Executive unless Executive has been continuously employed by the Employer through the end of the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus was earned. 

(iii) Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in and be covered on the
same basis as other senior management of the Employer under all employee benefit plans and programs of the Employer (subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan or program) and be entitled to receive four (4) weeks of paid
vacation per calendar year (pro-rated for any partial calendar year worked). 
 (iv) Expenses. Employer
shall pay or reimburse Executive for reasonable and necessary expenses directly incurred by Executive in the course of Executive’s employment by Employer in accordance with Employer’s standard policies and practices as in effect from time
to time. All reimbursements under this Section 1(b)(iv) shall be made as soon as practicable following submission of a reimbursement request, but no later than the end of the year following the year during which the underlying expense was
incurred. 
 (c) Separation. The Employment Period will terminate immediately upon Executive’s death. In addition,
the Employer may, at any time, terminate the Employment Period with or without Cause, or due to Executive’s Disability, in each case, upon written notice to Executive of such termination, and Executive may terminate the Employment Period
without Good Reason upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Employer. Executive may terminate the Employment Period for Good Reason; provided, that, Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless Executive notifies the Employer
within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of the event which Executive believes constitutes the basis for Good Reason, specifying the particular act or failure to act which Executive believes constitutes the basis for Good Reason, the
Employer does not cure such act or failure to act within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, and Executive actually has a Separation within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Employer’s thirty (30) day cure
period. Effective immediately upon any Separation, Executive shall resign, and shall be deemed to have resigned, from all other officer, employee and director positions held by Executive with the Employer or any of its Affiliates. 

  
 2 

 (d) Severance. 

(i) Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason. If Executive’s employment with the Employer and its
Affiliates is terminated during the Employment Period by the Employer without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, the Employer shall provide Executive with the following payments and benefits: 

 

	 	(1)	 contingent upon the effectiveness of a general release of claims in form and substance satisfactory to the Employer which is executed within forty-five
(45) days of the date of such Separation, Base Salary continuation during the period commencing on the sixtieth
(60th) date following such Separation and ending on
the date that is two (2) years thereafter; 

  

	 	(2)	any accrued but unpaid Base Salary; and 

  

	 	(3)	any accrued and vested benefits under any employee benefit plan of the Employer or its Affiliates in which Executive was participating immediately prior to Separation,
such benefits to be provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable employee benefit plan; provided that in no event shall Executive be entitled to receive any payment for accrued but unused vacation time. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, any
and all remaining Base Salary continuation payments payable pursuant to Section 1(d)(i)(1) shall be immediately forfeited. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations issued thereunder, and a payment or benefit provided for in this Section 1(d) would be subject to additional tax under Code Section 409A if
the payment or benefit is paid within six months of Executive’s Separation, then such payment or benefit required under this Agreement shall not be paid (or commence) until the first day which is six (6) months after Executive’s
Separation. In such case, any payments that would otherwise have been made during such period shall be made to Executive in a lump sum (without interest) as soon as administratively feasible subsequent to the date that is six (6) months after
Executive’s Separation. 
 (ii) Other Terminations. If Executive’s employment with the Employer
and its Affiliates is terminated during the Employment Period due to Executive’s death or Disability, by the Employer for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, the sole obligation of the Employer and its Affiliates to Executive shall be to
pay to Executive (or his estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be) (x) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and (y) any accrued and vested benefits under any employee benefit plan of the Employer

  
 3 

 
or its Affiliates in which Executive was participating immediately prior to Separation, such benefits to be provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable employee benefit plan.

 2. Confidential Information. 
 (a) Obligation to Maintain Confidentiality. Executive shall not, during or after the Employment Period, without the prior express written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly use or
divulge, disclose or make available or accessible any Confidential Information to any Person (other than when required to do so in good faith to perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or when required to do so by a
lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, any governmental authority or agency, or any recognized subpoena power). In the event that Executive becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or
documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, then prior to such disclosure, Executive will provide the Board with prompt written notice so that the Board may seek
(with Executive’s cooperation) a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, then Executive will furnish
only that portion of the Confidential Information which he is advised by counsel is legally required, and will cooperate with the Board in the Board’s efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the
Confidential Information. Executive shall also proffer to the Employer, no later than the date of Separation for any reason, and without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda, computer disks or other media, computer
programs, diaries, notes, records, data, customer or client lists, marketing plans and strategies, and any other documents consisting of or containing Confidential Information that are in Executive’s actual or constructive possession or which
are subject to Executive’s control at such time. 
 (b) Ownership of Property. Executive acknowledges that all
discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, recipes, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any
Confidential Information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Employer’s or any Affiliate of the
Employer’s actual or anticipated business, research and development, or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed, contributed to, made, or reduced to practice by Executive (either solely or jointly with others)
while employed by the Employer (including any of the foregoing that constitutes any proprietary information or records) (“Work Product”) belong to the Employer or any Affiliate of the Employer designated by the Employer, and
Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the above Work Product to the Employer or such Affiliate of the Employer. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by Executive in the course of Executive’s work for any of the
foregoing entities shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under the copyright laws, and the Employer or such Affiliate of the Employer shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such copyrightable work is not a “work made
for hire,” Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Employer or such Affiliate of the Employer all right, title, and interest, including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly
disclose such Work Product and 

  
 4 

 
copyrightable work to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm the ownership of the Employer or
such Affiliate of the Employer (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments). 
 (c) Third Party Information. Executive understands that the Employer and its Affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party
Information”) subject to a duty on the Employer’s and its Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and
without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 2(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of the Employer or its Affiliates
who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Employer or any of its Affiliates) or use, except in connection with his work for the Employer or any of its Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by
the Board in writing. 
 3. Non-Disparagement. Except as required by applicable law, rule or regulation or any recognized subpoena power,
Executive agrees that, during and after the Employment Period, he shall not at any time make any statement or representation, written or oral, which Executive knows or should know will, or which he knows or should know is reasonably likely to,
impair or adversely affect in any way the reputation, goodwill, business, customer or supplier relationships, or public relations of the Employer and/or any of its Affiliates, and/or any of their respective partners, directors, employees or
officers. In the event that Executive becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to make any such statements or
representations, then prior thereto, Executive will provide the Board with prompt written notice so that the Board may seek (with Executive’s cooperation) a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, then Executive will only make such statements or representations which he is advised by counsel are legally required, and will cooperate with the
Board in the Board’s efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any such statements or representations. 
 4. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. Executive acknowledges that in the course of Executive’s employment with the Employer, Executive has or will become familiar with the Employer’s
and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning the Employer and/or its Affiliates and that Executive’s services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Employer and its
Affiliates. In consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration and as a material inducement to the Employer to enter into this Agreement, Executive agrees that: 

(a) Non-Competition. Executive shall not, while Executive is employed by the Employer and for two (2) years after the date of
any Separation (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly, engage, without the prior express written consent of the Board, in any business or activity, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent,
representative, director, stockholder or in any other individual, corporate or representative capacity, or render any services or provide any advice to any business, activity, service or Person, if such business,

  
 5 

 
activity, service or Person competes with the Business or could reasonably be assumed to subsequently provide products or services which would compete with the Business. In addition, Executive
shall not, during the Restricted Period, assist, help or otherwise support, without the prior express written consent of the Employer, any Person, business or other activity, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent,
representative, director, stockholder or in any other individual, corporate or representative capacity, to create, commence or otherwise initiate, or to develop, enhance or otherwise further, any business or activity if such business or activity
competes (or is reasonably likely to compete (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion)) with the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be prohibited during the Restricted Period from being a passive investor where
Executive owns not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly-held company. 
 (b)
Non-Solicitation. Executive shall not during the Restricted Period, (a) take any action to solicit or divert any business or clients or customers away from the Employer or any of its Affiliates, (b) induce customers, clients,
business partners, suppliers, agents, lessors, licensors, licensees, or other Persons under contract or otherwise associated or doing business with the Employer or any of its Affiliates to terminate, reduce or alter any such association or business
with or from the Employer or such Affiliate or (c) contact, solicit, approach or hire any person employed by the Employer or any of its Affiliates or who was an employee of the Employer or any of its Affiliates during the one (1) year
period prior to such contact, solicitation, approach or hiring. 
 (c) Injunctive Relief. The provisions of
Section 2, Section 3 and Section 4 hereof are material inducements to the Employer entering into and performing this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Employer will have no adequate remedy at law, and would be
irreparably harmed, if Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement. Executive agrees that the Employer shall be entitled to equitable and/or injunctive relief
to prevent any breach or threatened breach of Section 2, Section 3 and/or Section 4 of this Agreement, and to specific performance of each of the terms of such Sections in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that the
Employer may have. Executive further agrees that he shall not, in any equity proceeding relating to the enforcement of the terms of Section 2, Section 3 and/or Section 4 of this Agreement, raise the defense that the Employer has an
adequate remedy at law. 
 (d) Special Severability. The terms and provisions of Section 2, Section 3 and
Section 4 of this Agreement are intended to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the validity nor the enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement shall thereby be affected. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the potential restrictions on Executive’s future employment imposed by such Sections be reasonable in both duration and geographic scope and in all
other respects. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction shall find any provisions of Section 2, Section 3 and/or Section 4 of this Agreement unreasonable in duration or geographic scope or otherwise, Executive and the
Employer agree that the restrictions and prohibitions contained herein shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law in such jurisdiction. 

  
 6 

 (e) Extension of Restricted Period. If Executive breaches any of the covenants
contained in Section 4(a) or Section 4(b), then the Restricted Period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which Executive is in breach of such restrictive covenant. 

(f) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 4 are in consideration of
employment with the Employer and additional good and valuable consideration. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 2, Section 3 and Section 4 hereof do not preclude Executive from
earning a living, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executive’s ability to earn a living.

 USA MOBILITY, INC. 

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2009 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 SECTION 1. 
 BACKGROUND, PURPOSE AND DURATION 

1.1 Effective Date. The Board adopted the Plan upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board to be effective
as of January 1, 2009. 
 1.2 Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of the Plan are to promote the success of the
Company’s business, advance the interests of the Company, attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, and provide additional incentives to selected key employees for outstanding performance. The
Plan permits the award of cash incentives and Restricted Stock Units to key employees as the Committee may determine. Upon attainment of Performance Goals for the Performance Period, Participants will receive a cash incentive payment, vested
Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Common Stock, and dividend equivalent rights (if any) with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid in cash. 
 1.3 Amendment and Restatement. USA Mobility, Inc. (the Parent), has acquired an additional subsidiary and seeks to clarify the applicability of the USA Mobility, Inc., Amended and Restated 2009
Long Term Incentive Plan. The USA Mobility, Inc. Amended and Restated 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan applies to USA Mobility Wireless, Inc and its Affiliate Metrocall Ventures, Inc. and its subsidiaries only, for the purpose of selecting participants
and attainment of Performance Goals. For clarity, for purposes of determining Performance Goals and the attainment of Performance Goals under the Plan, operating expenses and earnings from Amcom Software, Inc. shall not be included. Similarly,
employees of Amcom Software, Inc. shall not be eligible to participate under the plan.

SECTION 3. 

SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS AND DETERMINATION OF AWARDS 
 3.1 Selection of Participants. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall select the Employees who shall be Participants in the Plan and the Committee may, in its sole discretion, select
Employees to participate in the Plan at any time during any Performance Period. 
 3.2 Determination of Target Awards.
The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish a Target Award that may be earned by each Participant based on a multiple of the 2009 annual bonus for each Participant (or, with respect to Participants selected to participate in the Plan
after the commencement of a Performance Period, the annual bonus for the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan). Fifty percent (50%) of the Target 

  
 4 

 
Award shall be paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) of the Target Award shall be paid in Restricted Stock Units. The number of Restricted Stock Units granted shall be based on the fair
market value of the Company’s Common Stock on December 31, 2008; provided, for purposes of determining the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to an Employee who becomes a Participant after the first day of the Performance Period, the
number of Restricted Stock Units may be determined, in the sole discretion of the Committee, based on (a) the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on December 31, 2008, reduced by the value of any cash dividends or cash
distributions (regular or otherwise) that are paid with respect to the Company’s Common Stock from that date to the date of grant or (b) the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date on which the Participant
commenced participation in the Plan. Restricted Stock Units shall be granted pursuant to the USA Mobility, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan. Further, if at any time the Common Stock ceases to be registered as a class of equity securities under the
Exchange Act, whether as a result of a Change of Control or otherwise, the Committee may in its sole discretion convert any Restricted Stock Units into a right to receive cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock based upon the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock at the time of or immediately prior to the time the Common Stock was no longer registered under the Exchange Act. 
 3.3 Award Agreements. Target Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements. Award Agreements may be amended by the Committee with the consent of the germane Participant
from time to time and need not contain uniform provisions. 
 3.4 Bonus Pool. The Committee, in its sole discretion,
shall establish a Bonus Pool to pay cash awards. 
 3.5 Dividend Equivalent Rights. A Participant shall be entitled to
dividend equivalent rights with respect to Restricted Stock Units to the extent that any cash dividends or cash distributions (regular or otherwise) are paid with respect to the Company’s Common Stock during the Performance Period. The dividend
equivalent rights will be subject to the vesting restrictions and the other terms and conditions under this Plan that are applicable to the Restricted Stock Units until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the
dividend equivalent rights are paid vest. 
 SECTION 4. 

VESTING AND PAYMENT OF AWARDS 
 4.1 Attainment of Performance Goals. In order for Actual Awards to be earned and paid, the Company must attain the Performance Goals. If the Performance Goals are not met on or before the last day
of the Performance Period, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct the Company to pay less than the Target Award to reflect actual performance. 

  
 5 

 4.2 Vesting. 

(a) Target Awards shall vest upon the Committee’s reasonable determination that the Performance Goals have been
achieved. If the Performance Goals are met, Participants will be entitled to the vested portion of a Target Award. 
 (b) In the event of a Change of Control, vesting shall be accelerated as follows provided that the Company is on track to meet the objectives in the Company’s Long Range Plan as reasonably determined
by the Committee (as comprised immediately prior to the Change of Control). 
 (i) If a Change of Control occurs during either
of the first two years of the Performance Period, fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s Target Award shall vest. 

(ii) If a Change of Control occurs during the third year of the Performance Period, seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Participant’s Target Award shall vest. 
 (iii) If a Change of Control occurs during the final year of the Performance
Period, the Participant’s Target Award shall vest in full. 
 With respect to an employee who becomes a Participant after January 15,
2009, the accelerated vesting described above will apply on a prorated basis based on the number of days worked during the Performance Period. For clarity, if an employee becomes a Participant in the second year of the Performance Period,
accelerated vesting of his Target Award (prorated as described in section 4.4, below) will be calculated as follows: fifty percent (50%) of a Participant’s unvested Target Award will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days the Employee was a Participant in the Plan during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. 

(c) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which Target Awards will vest provided that the
Company is on target to meet the objectives in the Company’s Long Range Plan. 
 (d) All Actual Awards will
be paid at the time provided in Section 4.3. 
 4.3 Time and Form of Payment. 

(a) Each Actual Award, including dividend equivalent rights, shall be paid in cash (or its equivalent) in a single lump
sum and Common Stock pursuant to the Award Agreements, subject to any required withholding for income and employment taxes. 
 (b) Actual Awards will be paid on or after the third business day after the Company’s annual audit for fiscal year 2012 has been completed and the Company’s fiscal year 2012 annual report on
Form 10-K has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but in no event later than December 31, 2013. 
 (c) Notwithstanding 4.3(b), in the event of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s estate will be eligible to receive an amount not greater than one-hundred percent

  
 6 

 
(100%) of the Participant’s Target Award, prorated to reflect the number of days he or she worked during the Performance Period, and such amount, which will be determined in the
Committee’s sole discretion, will be paid in the year following Participant’s death. For clarity, prorated awards will be calculated as follows: one-hundred percent (100%) of a Participant’s Target Award will be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously providing services to the Company during the Performance Period through the date immediately prior to the Participant’s death, and the denominator of which
is the total number of days in the Performance Period. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Plan, no payments contemplated by this Plan will be paid during the six-month period following a Participant’s Separation from Service unless the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that paying such amounts at the times indicated in
paragraphs 4.3(b) and (c) would not cause the Participant to incur an additional tax under Code section 409A, in which case the Actual Award shall be paid following the end of the six-month period. 

4.4 Proration or Forfeiture of Target Award. 

(a) Newly hired or promoted employees who are selected to participate in the Plan after January 15, 2009 will
participate in the Plan on a prorated basis based on the number of days worked during the Performance Period after being selected to participate in the Plan. The prorated award will be calculated as follows: one-hundred percent (100%) of a
Participant’s unvested Target Award will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Employee was a Participant in the Plan during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of
days in the Performance Period. 
 (b) If the Participant involuntarily Separates from Service without Cause or
due to disability, he or she will be eligible to receive a prorated Target Award if the Performance Goals are met provided that, in the event Participant involuntarily Separates from Service without Cause, he or she has executed a release, any
waiting period in connection with such release has expired, he or she has not exercised any rights to revoke the release and he or she has followed any other applicable and customary termination procedures, as determined by the Company in its sole
discretion. The unvested Target Award will be prorated to the date of Separation from Service, and the prorated award will be calculated as follows: one-hundred percent (100%) of a Participant’s unvested Target Award will be multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously providing services to the Company during the Performance Period through the date immediately prior to the Participant’s Separation from Service, and the
denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. Prorated awards will be paid to the Participant at the time provided in Sections 4.3. 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 4.4(b), any Participant who involuntarily Separates from Service without Cause during his
or her first year of participation in the Plan shall forfeit any right to receive an Actual Award. 
 (d) Any
Participant whose employment is terminated for Cause or voluntarily Separates from Service prior to the date Actual Awards are paid shall forfeit any right to receive an Actual Award. 

  
 7 

 SECTION 5. 
 ADMINISTRATION 
 5.1 Committee is the Administrator. The Plan shall
be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist of not less than two (2) members of the Board, and no member of the Committee shall be a Participant. The members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and serve
at the pleasure of, the Board. 
 5.2 Committee Authority. It shall be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan
in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. The Committee shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to (a) determine which
Employees shall be granted awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of awards, (c) interpret the Plan and the awards, (d) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by
Employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules or principles for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (f) interpret, amend or revoke
any such rules or principles. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to an award granted pursuant to this Plan. 

5.3 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the Board, and any delegate of the Committee
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 
 5.4 Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one
or more directors and/or officers of the Company. 
 SECTION 6. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 6.1 Unsecured General Creditor. Actual Awards shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any
Participant’s claim of any right other than as an unsecured general creditor having the status of an employee of the Company or an Affiliate thereof with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. 

6.2 Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from, or in respect of, any payment to be made an amount sufficient
to satisfy all federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding requirements (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and Social Security obligations). The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her
tax withholding obligations by having the Company withhold an amount from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the Participant or, with 

  
 8 

 
respect to Restricted Stock Units, having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock that become vested having a fair market value equal to the tax withholding obligations. The fair
market value of the shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld. 
 6.3 No Rights as Employee. Nothing in the Plan or any documents relating to the Plan shall (a) confer on a Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company; (b) constitute
any contract or agreement of employment; or (c) interfere in any way with the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a
Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Separation from Service. 
 6.4 Participation. No Employee shall have the right to be selected to receive an award under this Plan. 
 6.5 Successors. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company and the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives. 
 6.6 Payment in the Event of Death. In the event of a Participant’s death, any vested benefits
remaining unpaid shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. 
 6.7 Nontransferability of Awards. No award granted
under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to an award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her
lifetime only to the Participant. 
 SECTION 7. 
 AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION 
 7.1 Amendment, Suspension or
Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Participants, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason, to the extent such action will not cause adverse tax consequences to a
Participant under Code section 409A. Except as provided in Section 2.18, the amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or materially impair any rights or obligations under any
Award Agreement. No award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 
 7.2 Duration of
the Plan. The Plan shall commence on January 1, 2009 and, subject to Section 7.1 (regarding the Board’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), shall remain in effect thereafter. 

  
 9 

 SECTION 8. 
 LEGAL CONSTRUCTION 
 8.1 Code Section 409A. The Plan is
intended to be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Code section 409A and shall be interpreted to meet the requirements of Code section 409A. To the extent that any provision of the Plan would cause a conflict with the
requirements of Code section 409A, or would cause the administration of the Plan to fail to satisfy Code section 409A, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing herein shall be construed as a
guarantee of any particular tax treatment to a Participant. 
 8.2 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by
the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 8.3 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan
shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 8.4 Requirements of Law.
The granting of awards under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 

8.5 Governing Law. The Plan and all awards shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions. 
 8.6 Captions. Captions are provided herein for
convenience only, and shall not serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan.
