        perform services for the Company and its Subsidiaries, providing incentive compensation for such individuals that is linked to the growth and profitability of the Company and increases in stockholder value and aligning the interests of such
        individuals with the interests of its stockholders through opportunities for equity participation in the Company. This Plan will become effective upon its approval by the Company’s stockholders and will replace the Century Communities, Inc. 2017

              Plan Administration.

            

       

      3.1         The

                Committee.  The Plan will be administered by the Committee.  The Committee will act by majority approval of the members at a meeting or by unanimous written consent, and a majority of the members of the Committee will constitute
            a quorum.  The Committee may exercise its duties, power and authority under this Plan in its sole discretion without the consent of any Participant or other party, unless this Plan specifically provides otherwise.  The Committee will not be
            obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Recipients uniformly, and determinations made under this Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Participants or Eligible Recipients, whether or not such Participants and Eligible
            Recipients are similarly situated.  Each determination, interpretation or other action made or taken by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Plan will be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and on all persons, and no
            member of the Committee will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan.

       

      3.2        Authority

                of the Committee.  In accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee will have full and exclusive discretionary power and authority to take such actions as it deems necessary and advisable with respect
            to the administration of this Plan, including the following:

       

      (a)         To designate the Eligible Recipients to be selected as Participants;

       

      (b)         To determine the nature, extent and terms of the Awards to be made to each Participant, including the amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each Award, any exercise price or grant price, the manner in which
            Awards will vest, become exercisable, settled or paid out and whether Awards will be granted in tandem with other Awards, and the form of Award Agreement, if any, evidencing such Award;

       

      (c)         To determine the time or times when Awards will be granted;

       

      (d)         To determine the duration of each Award;

       

      (e)         To determine the terms, restrictions and other conditions to which the grant of an Award or the payment or vesting of Awards may be subject;

       

      (f)         To construe and interpret this Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration and in so doing, to correct any defect, omission, or inconsistency in this Plan or in an
            Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it will deem necessary or expedient to make this Plan fully effective;

       

      (g)         To determine Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 2.26 of this Plan;

       

      (h)         To amend this Plan or any Award Agreement, as provided in this Plan;

       
        (i)          To adopt subplans or special provisions applicable to Awards regulated by the laws of a jurisdiction other than, and outside of, the United States, which except as otherwise provided in this Plan, such subplans or special provisions
              may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan;

         

        (j)        To authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any Award Agreement or any other instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Committee;

         

        (k)         To determine whether Awards will be settled in shares of Common Stock, cash or in any combination thereof;

         

            

      

      
        7

        
          

      

      (l)       To

            determine whether Awards will be adjusted for dividend equivalents, with “Dividend Equivalents” meaning a credit, made at the discretion of the Committee, to the account of a Participant in an amount
            equal to the cash dividends paid on one share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock represented by an Award held by such Participant, subject to Section 13 of this Plan and any other provision of this Plan and which Dividend
            Equivalents may be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Awards to which they attach and may be settled in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, or in any combination of both; and

       

      (m)      To

            impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock, including restrictions
            under an insider trading policy, stock ownership guidelines, restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers and other restrictions designed to increase equity ownership by Participants or otherwise
            align the interests of Participants with the Company’s stockholders.

       

      3.3         Delegation. 

            To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of the Company or any Subsidiary or to one or more agents or advisors such administrative duties or powers as it may
            deem advisable, and the Committee or any individuals to whom it has delegated duties or powers as aforesaid may employ one or more individuals to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such individuals may have under
            this Plan.  The Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more directors of the Company or one or more officers of the Company to do one or both of the following on the same basis as can the Committee:  (a) designate Eligible Recipients to
            be recipients of Awards pursuant to this Plan; and (b) determine the size of any such Awards; provided, however, that (x) the Committee will not
            delegate such responsibilities to any such director(s) or officer(s) for any Awards granted to an Eligible Recipient: (i) who is a Non-Employee Director, or who is subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16 under the
            Exchange Act, or (ii) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder; provided, further; that any delegation of administrative
            authority will only be permitted to the extent it is permissible under Applicable Law; (y) the resolution providing such authorization will set forth the type of Awards and total number of each type of Awards such director(s) or officer(s) may
            grant; and (z) such director(s) or officer(s) will report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated. At all times, the delegate appointed under this Section 3.3 will
            serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee.

       

      3.4         No
                Re-pricing.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan other than Section 4.4 of this Plan, the Committee may not, without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, seek to effect any re-pricing of any previously
            granted, “underwater” Option or Stock Appreciation Right by: (a) amending or modifying the terms of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right to lower the exercise price or grant price; (b) canceling the underwater Option or Stock Appreciation
            Right in exchange for (i) cash; (ii) replacement Options or Stock Appreciation Rights having a lower exercise price or grant price; or (iii) other Awards; (c) repurchasing the underwater Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and granting new
            Awards under this Plan; or (d) a re-pricing within the meaning of the Applicable Accounting Standard.  For purposes of this Section 3.4, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Fair Market
            Value of the Common Stock is less than the exercise price of the Option or grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right.

       

      3.5        Participants

                Based Outside of the United States.  In addition to the authority of the Committee under Section 3.2(i) and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of this Plan
            or Awards with respect to Participants resident outside of the United States or employed by a non-U.S. Subsidiary in order to comply with local legal requirements, to otherwise protect the Company’s or Subsidiary’s interests or to meet
            objectives of this Plan, and may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans (including the adoption of any required rules and regulations) for the purposes of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws.  The
            Committee will have no authority, however, to take action pursuant to this Section 3.5:  (a) to reserve shares of Common Stock or grant Awards in excess of the limitations provided in Section 4.1 of this Plan; (b) to effect any re-pricing in
            violation of Section 3.4 of this Plan; (c) to grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights having an exercise price or grant price less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date in
            violation of Section 6.3 or Section 7.3 of this Plan; or (d) for which stockholder approval would then be required pursuant to Section 20.2 of this Plan.

      4.1        Maximum

                Number of Shares Available.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4 of this Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that will be available for issuance under this Plan will be the sum of:

       

      (a)         3,100,000 shares of Common Stock; plus

       

      (b)        the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Prior Plan but not subject to outstanding awards as of the Effective Date; plus

       

      (c)         the number of additional shares of Common Stock subject to awards outstanding under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date but only to the extent that such outstanding awards are forfeited, cancelled, expire or otherwise terminate
            without the issuance of such shares of Common Stock after the Effective Date.

       

      4.2       Limits

                on Incentive Stock Options and Non-Employee Director Compensation.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4 of this Plan,

       

      (a)        the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that will be available for issuance pursuant to Incentive Stock Options under this Plan will be 3,100,000 shares; and

       

      (b)        the sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of
            Awards granted to a Non-Employee Director as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $1,000,000 (increased to $1,500,000 with respect to any Non-Employee Director serving as
            Chairman of the Board or Lead Independent Director or in the fiscal year of a non-employee Director’s initial service as a Non-Employee Director) (with any compensation that is deferred counting towards this limit for the year in which the
            compensation is first earned, and not a later year of settlement).

      4.3        Accounting

                for Awards.  Shares of Common Stock that are covered by an Award shall be counted as used only to the extent they are actually issued; provided, however,
            that the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right will be counted against the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under this Plan, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock
            actually issued upon settlement of such Stock Appreciation Right. Furthermore, any shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations on Awards issued under this Plan, any shares of Common Stock withheld to pay the exercise
            price or grant price of Awards under this Plan and any shares of Common Stock not issued or delivered as a result of the “net exercise” of an outstanding Option pursuant to Section 6.5 or settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right in shares of
            Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.7 will be counted against the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under this Plan and will not be available again for grant under this Plan.  Shares of Common Stock subject to Awards settled in cash
            will again be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award will not increase the number of shares of
            Common Stock available for future grant of Awards.  Any shares of Common Stock related to Awards granted under this Plan or under the Prior Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of the
            shares of Common Stock, will be available again for grant under this Plan and correspondingly increase the total number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan under Section 4.1. To the extent permitted by Applicable
            Law, shares of Common Stock issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or a Subsidiary pursuant to Section 21 of this Plan or otherwise will not be
            counted against shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to this Plan. The shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.

       

      4.4         Adjustments

                to Shares and Awards.

       

      (a)        In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin off)
            or any other similar change in the corporate structure or shares of Common Stock the Company, the Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation) will
            make appropriate adjustment or substitutions (which determination will be conclusive) as to: (i) the number and kind of securities or other property (including cash) available for issuance or payment under this Plan, including the sub-limits
            set forth in Section 4.2 of this Plan, and (ii) in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants, the number and kind of securities or other property (including cash) subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price
            of outstanding Awards; provided, however, that this Section 4.4 will not limit the authority of the Committee to take action pursuant to Section 16 of
            this Plan in the event of a Change in Control.  The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments and/or substitutions, if any, will be final, conclusive and binding on Participants under this Plan.

       

      (b)        Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, without affecting the number of shares of Common Stock reserved or available hereunder and the limits in Section 4.2 of this Plan, the Committee may authorize the issuance or
            assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, subject to compliance with the rules under
            Sections 422, 424 and 409A of the Code, as and where applicable.

       

      4.5       Minimum

                Vesting Requirements on Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, but subject to Sections 4.4 and 16 of the Plan, equity-based Awards granted under the Plan will vest no earlier than the one-year
            anniversary of the date the Award is granted and any Awards under this Plan which vest upon the attainment of Performance Goals will provide for a Performance Period of at least one (1) year; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
            foregoing, Awards that result in the issuance of an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock available pursuant to Section 4.1 above may be granted to any one or more eligible Directors, Consultants or Employees
            without respect to such minimum vesting condition. Nothing in this Section 4.5 shall preclude the Committee from taking action, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of any Award in connection with or following a Participant’s
            death, disability, termination of employment or service or otherwise, or the consummation of a Change in Control. This Section 4.5 will be inapplicable to (i) substitute Awards granted pursuant to Section 21 of this Plan, (ii) shares delivered in lieu of fully vested cash Awards and (iii) Awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual meeting
              of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting.

      4.6         Limitations

                Applicable to Insiders.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if a Participant is an Insider, this Plan, the Award, and the Award Agreement will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable
            exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule, and such additional limitations will be deemed to be incorporated
            by reference into such Award to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

       

      	5.	
              Participation.

            

       

      Participants in this Plan will be those Eligible Recipients who, in the judgment of the Committee, have contributed, are contributing or are
        expected to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  Eligible Recipients may be granted from time to time one or more Awards, singly or in combination or in tandem with other Awards, as may be determined
        by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Awards will be deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant resolution of the Committee, which date will be the Grant Date of any related Award Agreement with the Participant.

       

      	6.	
              Options.

            

       

      6.1         Grant. 

            An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Options under this Plan, and such Options will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole
            discretion.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted solely to Eligible Recipients who are Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary. The Committee may designate whether an Option is to be considered an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory
            Stock Option.  To the extent that any Incentive Stock Option (or portion thereof) granted under this Plan ceases for any reason to qualify as an “incentive stock option” for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Incentive Stock Option (or
            portion thereof) will continue to be outstanding for purposes of this Plan but will thereafter be deemed to be a Non-Statutory Stock Option. Options may be granted to an Eligible Recipient for services provided to a Subsidiary only if, with
            respect to such Eligible Recipient, the underlying shares of Common Stock constitute “service recipient stock” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii) promulgated under the Code.

       

      6.2        Award

                Agreement.  Each Option grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price of the Option, the maximum duration of the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option pertains, the
            conditions upon which an Option will become vested and exercisable, and such other provisions as the Committee will determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.  The Award Agreement also will specify whether the Option is
            intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

       

      6.3         Exercise

                Price.  The per share price to be paid by a Participant upon exercise of an Option granted pursuant to this Section 6 will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of the Option grant; provided, however, that such price will not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date
            (one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value if, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Participant owns, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
            stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company).

      6.4         Exercisability

                and Duration.  An Option will become exercisable at such times and in such installments and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant, including (a) the
            achievement of one or more of the Performance Goals; or that (b) the Participant remain in the continuous employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain period; provided, however, that no Option may be exercisable after ten (10) years from the Grant Date (five (5) years from the Grant Date in the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Participant who owns,
            directly or indirectly, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option
            that is exercisable in accordance with its terms is prevented by the provisions of Section 18 of this Plan, the Option will remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such
            provisions, but in any event no later than the expiration date of such Option.

       

      6.5         Payment

                of Exercise Price.

       

      (a)         The total purchase price of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise of an Option will be paid entirely in cash (including check, bank draft or money order); provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee, may allow such payments to be made, in whole or in part, by (i) tender of a Broker Exercise
            Notice; (ii) by tender, either by actual delivery or attestation as to ownership, of Previously Acquired Shares; (iii) a “net exercise” of the Option (as further described in paragraph (b), below); (iv) by a combination of such methods; or (v)
            any other method approved or accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of
            Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act will be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under this Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the
            Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

       

      (b)        In the case of a “net exercise” of an Option, the Company will not require a payment of the exercise price of the Option from the Participant but will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise by the largest
            number of whole shares that has a Fair Market Value on the exercise date that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares exercised under this method.  Shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under an Option (and
            will therefore not thereafter be exercisable) following the exercise of such Option to the extent of (i) shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option under the “net exercise,” (ii) shares actually delivered to the Participant as a result
            of such exercise and (iii) any shares withheld for purposes of tax withholding pursuant to Section 15 of this Plan.

       

      (c)         For purposes of such payment, Previously Acquired Shares tendered or covered by an attestation will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the Option.

       

      6.6        Manner

                of Exercise.  An Option may be exercised by a Participant in whole or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions contained in this Plan and in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, by delivery in person, by
            facsimile or electronic transmission or through the mail of written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal executive office (or to the Company’s designee as may be established from time to time by the Company and communicated to
            Participants) and by paying in full the total exercise price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased in accordance with Section 6.5 of this Plan.

              Stock Appreciation Rights.

            

       

      7.1         Grant. 

            An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Stock Appreciation Rights under this Plan, and such Stock Appreciation Rights will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined
            by the Committee in its sole discretion. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to an Eligible Recipient for services provided to a Subsidiary only if, with respect to such Eligible Recipient, the underlying shares of Common Stock constitute
            “service recipient stock” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii) promulgated under the Code.

       

      7.2        Award

                Agreement.  Each Stock Appreciation Right will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, and such other provisions as the
            Committee will determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

       

      7.3         Grant

                Price.  The grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, at the Grant Date; provided, however,
            that such price may not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date.

       

      7.4         Exercisability

                and Duration.  A Stock Appreciation Right will become exercisable at such times and in such installments as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided,
            however, that no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercisable after ten (10) years from its Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable
            in accordance with its terms is prevented by the provisions of Section 18 of this Plan, the Stock Appreciation Right will remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such
            provisions, but in any event no later than the expiration date of such Stock Appreciation Right.

       

      7.5         Manner

                of Exercise.  A Stock Appreciation Right will be exercised by giving notice in the same manner as for Options, as set forth in Section 6.6 of this Plan, subject to any other terms and conditions consistent with the other
            provisions of this Plan as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

       

      7.6       Settlement. 

            Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

       

      (a)         The excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the per share grant price; by

       

      (b)         The number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

       

      7.7         Form

                of Payment.  Payment, if any, with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right settled in accordance with Section 7.6 of this Plan will be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, in cash, shares of Common
            Stock or a combination thereof, as the Committee determines.

              Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units.

            

       

      8.1         Grant. 

            An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units under this Plan, and such Awards will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this
            Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units will be similar to Restricted Stock Awards except that no shares of Common Stock are actually awarded to the Participant on the
            Grant Date of the Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units will be denominated in shares of Common Stock but paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock as the
            Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine, and as provided in the Award Agreement.

       

      
        13

        
          

      

      8.2        Award

                Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the type of Award, the period(s) of restriction, the number of shares of
            restricted Common Stock, or the number of Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units granted, and such other provisions as the Committee will determine that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

       

      8.3         Conditions

                and Restrictions.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, including Sections 4.5 and 4.6 of this Plan, the Committee will impose such conditions or restrictions on a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units or
            Deferred Stock Units granted pursuant to this Plan as it may deem advisable including a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each share of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit or
            Deferred Stock Unit, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific Performance Goals, time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the Performance Goals, time-based restrictions, restrictions under Applicable Laws or
            holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the shares of Common Stock by the Company upon vesting of such Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units.

       

      8.4        Voting

                Rights.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a Participant’s Award Agreement, to the extent permitted or required by Applicable Law, as determined by the Committee, Participants holding a Restricted
            Stock Award granted hereunder will be granted the right to exercise full voting rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Award during the Period of Restriction. A Participant will have no voting rights
            with respect to any Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units granted hereunder.

       

      8.5         Dividend

                Rights.

       

      (a)        Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a Participant’s Award Agreement, to the extent permitted or required by Applicable Law, as determined by the Committee, Participants holding a Restricted Stock Award granted
            hereunder will have the same dividend rights as the Company’s other stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing any such dividends as to a Restricted Stock Award that is subject to vesting requirements will be subject to forfeiture and
            termination to the same extent as the Restricted Stock Award to which such dividends relate and the Award Agreement may require that any cash dividends be reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award and
            subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. In no event will dividends with respect to Restricted Stock Awards that are subject to vesting be paid or distributed
            until the vesting provisions of such Restricted Stock Award lapse.

       

      (b)        Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a Participant’s Award Agreement, to the extent permitted or required by Applicable Law, as determined by the Committee, prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Restricted Stock
            Units or Deferred Stock Unit awarded under this Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to Dividend Equivalents. Such right entitles the Participant to be credited with any amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one
            share of Common Stock while the Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit is outstanding.  Dividend Equivalents may be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units and may (and will, to the extent required below)
            be made subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units to which they attach. Settlement of Dividend Equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of shares of Common Stock, or in
            a combination of both. Dividend Equivalents as to Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units will be subject to forfeiture and termination to the same extent as the corresponding Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units as to which
            the Dividend Equivalents relate. In no event will Participants holding Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units receive any Dividend Equivalents on such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units until the vesting provisions of such
            Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units lapse.

       

      
        14

        
          

      

      8.6        Enforcement

                of Restrictions.  To enforce the restrictions referred to in this Section 8, the Committee may place a legend on the stock certificates or book-entry notations representing Restricted Stock Awards referring to such restrictions
            and may require the Participant, until the restrictions have lapsed, to keep the stock certificates, together with duly endorsed stock powers, in the custody of the Company or its transfer agent, or to maintain evidence of stock ownership,
            together with duly endorsed stock powers, in a certificateless book-entry stock account with the Company’s transfer agent. Alternatively, Restricted Stock Awards may be held in non-certificated form pursuant to such terms and conditions as the
            Company may establish with its registrar and transfer agent or any third-party administrator designated by the Company to hold Restricted Stock Awards on behalf of Participants.

       

      8.7         Lapse

                of Restrictions; Settlement. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, including without limitation this Section 8 or Section 17.4 of this Plan, shares of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Award will become freely
            transferable by the Participant after all conditions and restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding obligations).  Upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit,
            the Restricted Stock Unit will be settled, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement, (a) in cash, based upon the Fair Market Value of the vested underlying shares of Common Stock, (b) in shares of Common Stock or
            (c) a combination thereof, as provided in the Award Agreement, except to the extent that a Participant has properly elected to defer income that may be attributable to a Restricted Stock Unit under a Company deferred compensation plan or
            arrangement.

       

      8.8         Section

                83(b) Election for Restricted Stock Award.  If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant must file, within thirty (30) days following the Grant
            Date of the Restricted Stock Award, a copy of such election with the Company and with the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with the regulations under Section 83 of the Code.  The Committee may provide in the Award Agreement that the
            Restricted Stock Award is conditioned upon the Participant’s making or refraining from making an election with respect to the award under Section 83(b) of the Code.

                Agreement. Each Performance Award will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the amount of cash, shares of Common Stock, other Awards, or combination of both to be received by the Participant upon payout of the
            Performance Award, any Performance Goals upon which the Performance Award is subject, any Performance Period during which any Performance Goals must be achieved and such other provisions as the Committee will determine which are not

            the Committee may deem appropriate.  Any performance measure(s) can be used in an algebraic formula (e.g., averaged over a period, combined into a ratio, compared to a budget or

                of Performance Award Payment.  Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Award Agreement or an Individual Agreement, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Awards will be entitled to receive
            payout on the value and number of Performance Awards 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 and such other restrictions
            or conditions imposed on the vesting and payout of the Performance Awards has been satisfied.

       

      9.6         Reassignment.
            If prior to the end of a Performance Period, but after the conclusion of one year of the Performance Period, a Participant holding Performance Awards is reassigned to a position with the Company or any Subsidiary, and that position is not
            eligible to participate in such a Performance Award, but the Participant does not terminate employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, the Committee may, in its sole discretion: (a) cause shares of Common
            Stock to be delivered or payment made with respect to the Participant’s Performance Award in accordance with Section 9.11 of this Plan, but only if otherwise earned for the entire Performance Period or (b) cause shares of Common Stock to be
            delivered or payment made with respect to the Participant’s Performance Award in accordance with Section 9.11 of this Plan, but only if otherwise earned for the entire Performance Period and only with respect to the portion of the applicable
            Performance Period completed at the date of such reassignment, with proration based on the number of months or years such Participant served in the prior position during the Performance Period.

            related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under applicable accounting standards; (i) items attributable to any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of stock occurring during the
            Performance Period; (j) any other items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments; (k) items relating to unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments; (l) items related to

            part on the financial performance of the Company (or any Subsidiary or division, business unit or other sub-unit thereof) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including but not limited to the events described in Sections 9.7 or
            4.4(a) of this Plan) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, will be
            final, conclusive and binding on Participants under this Plan.

       

      9.9         Committee

                Discretion to Make Adjustments.  Subject to the terms of an Individual Agreement, the Committee retains the discretion to adjust Awards either upward or downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as
            the Committee determines.

       

      9.10      Committee

                Discretion to Scale Back Awards.  At any time during a Performance Period of more than one fiscal year, the Committee may, in its discretion, cancel a portion of a Performance Award prior to the conclusion of the Performance
            Period (a “Scale Back”), provided that:

       

      (a)        the Performance Award has not yet vested;

       

      (b)       based

            on financial information contained in the financial statements or similar internal reports of the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, the Committee determines that the Performance Goals for the Performance Period cannot be achieved
            at the maximum levels established at the time of grant;

       

      
        17

        
          

      

      (c)         once a Performance Award is Scaled Back, it may not again be increased to add or recover a Performance Award that was canceled; and

       

      (d)       Performance

            Awards canceled in a Scale Back will again be available to the Committee for grant of new Performance Awards for any future Performance Period.  This provision will not be used in any manner that could have the effect of repricing a previous
            Performance Award.

       

      9.11      Form
                and Timing of Performance Award Payment.  Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Awards will be entitled to receive payment on the value and number of
            Performance Awards 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. Payment of earned Performance Awards will be as determined
            by the Committee and as evidenced in the Award Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Awards in the form of cash, in shares of Common Stock or other Awards (or in a
            combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period. Payment of any Performance Award will be made as soon as practicable after the Committee has determined the extent to
            which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved and not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month immediately following the later of the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the
            Performance Period ends and any additional vesting restrictions are satisfied or the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends and any additional vesting restrictions are satisfied, except to the extent that a Participant
            has properly elected to defer payment that may be attributable to a Performance Award under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement.  The determination of the Committee with respect to the form and time of payment of Performance
            Awards will be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Performance Award.  Any shares of Common Stock or other Awards issued in payment of earned Performance Awards may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed
            appropriate by the Committee, including that the Participant remain in the continuous employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain period.

       

      9.12       Voting

                Rights.  A Participant will have no voting rights with respect to any Performance Award granted hereunder.

       

      9.13      Dividend

                Rights.  If provided in an Award Agreement, a Participant holding a Performance Award granted under this Plan may receive cash dividends or Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on shares of Common Stock that are
            subject to such Performance Award during the period between the date that such Performance Award is granted and the date such Performance Award is settled; provided, however, that such cash dividends or Dividend Equivalents may not be paid out
            until the vesting provisions of such Performance Award lapse.

              Annual Performance Cash Awards.

            

       

      10.1      Grant. 

            Subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant to Eligible Recipients Awards
            denominated in cash in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine, based on the achievement of specified Performance Goals for annual periods or other time periods as determined by the Committee (the “Annual Performance Cash Awards”).

       

      10.2      Target

                Payout.  The target amount that may be paid with respect to an Annual Performance Cash Award (the “Target Payout”) may be based on a percentage of a Participant’s actual annual base
            compensation at the time of grant (“Participation Factor”).  The Chief Executive Officer may approve modifications to the Participation Factor for any non-executive officer Participant.  The
            Committee may establish curves, matrices or other measurements for prorating the amount of payments for achievement of Performance Goals at less or greater than the Target Payout.

       

      
        18

        
          

      

      10.3      Maximum

                Payout. The Committee also may establish a maximum potential payout amount (the “Maximum Payout”) with respect to an Annual Performance Cash Award in the event Performance Goals are
            exceeded by an amount established by the Committee at the time Performance Goals are established.  The Committee may establish curves, matrices or other measurements for prorating the amount of payments for achievement of Performance Goals at
            greater than the Target Payout but less than the Maximum Payout.

       

      10.4      Individual

                Performance Goals.  Subject to the terms of an Individual Agreement, at the time an Annual Performance Cash Award is granted, the Committee may provide for an increase or decrease in the Target Payout and the Maximum Payout (as
            either may be prorated in accordance with Sections 10.2 and 10.3 of this Plan) for selected Participants (“Individual Performance Participants”) to reflect the achievement of individual performance
            goals (“Individual Performance Goals”) established at that time by the Committee.

       

      10.5      Payment. 

            Payment of any earned Annual Performance Cash Awards will be made as soon as possible after the Committee has determined the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals and Individual Performance Goals have been achieved and not later than
            the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month immediately following the later of the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the Performance Period ends or the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Period
            ends, except to the extent that a Participant has properly elected to defer payment that may be attributable to an Annual Performance Cash Award under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement.

            for the automatic grant to Non-Employee Directors of Non-Employee Director Awards granted under this Plan and may grant to Non-Employee Directors such discretionary Non-Employee Director Awards on such terms and conditions, consistent with the
            other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and set forth in an applicable Award Agreement. Such Non-Employee Director Awards will not be subject to management’s discretion.

       

      11.2      Deferral

                of Award Payment; Election to Receive Award in Lieu of Retainers.  The Committee may permit Non-Employee Directors the opportunity to defer the payment of an Award pursuant to such terms and conditions as the Committee may
            prescribe from time to time. In addition, the Committee may permit Non-Employee Directors to elect to receive, pursuant to the procedures established by the Board or a committee of the Board, all or any portion of their annual retainers,
            meeting fees, or other fees in Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units or other Stock-Based Awards as contemplated by this Plan in lieu of cash.

                Cash-Based Awards.  Subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may

      12.2       Other

                Stock-Based Awards.  Subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee may grant Other Stock-Based Awards to
            Eligible Recipients not otherwise described by the terms of this Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted shares of Common Stock) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee will determine.  Such
            Awards may involve the transfer of actual shares of Common Stock to Participants as a bonus or in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under this Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, or payment in cash or
            otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of Common Stock, and may include Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States.

       

      12.3       Value

                of Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.  Each Other Cash-Based Award will specify a payment amount or payment range as determined by the Committee.  Each Other Stock-Based Award will be expressed in terms of
            shares of Common Stock or units based on shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee.  The Committee may establish Performance Goals in its discretion for any Other Cash-Based Award or any Other Stock-Based Award.  If the Committee
            exercises its discretion to establish Performance Goals for any such Awards, the number or value of Other Cash-Based Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participant will depend on the extent to which the Performance
            Goals are met.

       

      12.4       Payment

                of Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.  Payment, if any, with respect to an Other Cash-Based Award or an Other Stock-Based Award will be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, in cash for any Other
            Cash-Based Award and in cash or shares of Common Stock for any Other Stock-Based Award, as the Committee determines, except to the extent that a Participant has properly elected to defer payment that may be attributable to an Other Cash-Based
            Award or Other Stock-Based Award under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement.

       

      	13.	
              Dividend Equivalents.

            

       

      Subject to the provisions of this Plan and any Award Agreement, any Participant selected by the Committee may be granted Dividend Equivalents based
        on the dividends declared on shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Award (including any Award that has been deferred), to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date the Award is granted and the date the
        Award is exercised, vests, settles, is paid or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents will be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may
        be determined by the Committee and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) will be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock or otherwise reinvested.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not grant
        Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on shares of Common Stock that are subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right; and further, no dividend or Dividend Equivalents will be paid out with respect to any Awards until they are
        vested.

                Due to Cause.  Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee in its sole discretion in an Award Agreement or the terms of an Individual Agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or
            Affiliates or a plan or policy of the Company applicable to the Participant specifically provides otherwise, and subject to Sections 14.4 and 14.5 of this Plan, in the event a Participant’s employment or other service with the Company and all
            Subsidiaries is terminated for Cause:

       

      
        20

            Individual Agreement or a plan or policy of the Company applicable to the Participant specifically provides otherwise, and subject to Sections 14.4, 14.5 and 16 of this Plan, in the event a Participant’s employment or other service with the
            Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death or Disability of a Participant:

       

      (a)         All outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will, to the extent exercisable as of the date of such termination, remain exercisable for a period of one (1)
            year after the date of such termination (but in no event after the expiration date of any such Option or Stock Appreciation Right) and Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not exercisable as of the date of such termination will be terminated
            and forfeited;

       

      (b)         All outstanding unvested Restricted Stock Awards held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will be terminated and forfeited;

            or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, is terminated prior to the end of the Performance Period of such Award, but after the conclusion of a portion of the Performance Period (but in no event less than one
            year), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause shares of Common Stock to be delivered or payment made (except to the extent that a Participant has properly elected to defer income that may be attributable to such Award under a Company
            deferred compensation plan or arrangement) with respect to the Participant’s Award, but only if otherwise earned for the entire Performance Period and only with respect to the portion of the applicable Performance Period completed at the date
            of such event, with proration based on the number of months or  years that the Participant was employed or performed services during the Performance Period.  The Committee will consider the provisions of Section 14.5 of this Plan and will have
            the discretion to consider any other fact or circumstance in making its decision as to whether to deliver such shares of Common Stock or other payment, including whether the Participant again becomes employed; and

       

      (d)       If

            the effective date of such termination is before the end of the Performance Period to which an Annual Performance Cash Award relates, then any such Annual Performance Cash Award held by a Participant will be terminated and forfeited; and if the
            effective date of such termination is on or after the end of the Performance Period to which an Annual Performance Cash Award relates, then any such Annual Performance Cash Award held by a Participant will be paid to the Participant in
            accordance with the payment terms of such Award.

       

      
        21

        
          

      

      14.3       Termination

                for Reasons Other than Cause, Death or Disability.  Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee in its sole discretion in an Award Agreement or the terms of an Individual Agreement between the Participant and the Company

            service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than for Cause, death or Disability of a Participant:

       

      (a)        All outstanding Options (including Non-Employee Director Options) and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will, to the extent exercisable as of such termination, remain

            termination will be terminated and forfeited; provided, however, that with respect to any such Awards the vesting of which is based on the achievement
            of Performance Goals, if a Participant’s employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to the end of the Performance Period of such Award, but after the
            conclusion of a portion of the Performance Period (but in no event less than one year), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause Shares to be delivered or payment made (except to the extent that a Participant has properly elected to
            defer income that may be attributable to such Award under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement) with respect to the Participant’s Award, but only if otherwise earned for the entire Performance Period and only with respect to the
            portion of the applicable Performance Period completed at the date of such event, with proration based on the number of months or years that the Participant was employed or performed services during the Performance Period.

       

      14.4     Modification

                of Rights upon Termination.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 14, and subject to the terms of an Individual Agreement, upon a Participant’s termination of employment or other service with the Company or any
            Subsidiary, as the case may be, the Committee may, in its sole discretion (which may be exercised at any time on or after the Grant Date, including following such termination) cause Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or any part thereof)
            held by such Participant as of the effective date of such termination to terminate, become or continue to become exercisable or remain exercisable following such termination of employment or service, and Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock

            terminate, vest or become free of restrictions and conditions to payment, as the case may be, following such termination of employment or service, in each case in the manner determined by the Committee; provided,
            however, that (a) no Option or Stock Appreciation Right may remain exercisable beyond its expiration date; and (b) any such action by the Committee adversely affecting any outstanding Award will not
            be effective without the consent of the affected Participant (subject to the right of the Committee to take whatever action it deems appropriate under Section 4.4, 14.5, 16 or 20 of this Plan).

       

      
        22

        
          

      

      14.5       Additional

                Forfeiture Events.

       

      (a)       Effect of Actions Constituting Cause or Adverse Action.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary and in addition to the other rights of the Committee under this Plan, including this Section
            14.5, and subject to the terms of an Individual Agreement, if a Participant is determined by the Committee, acting in its sole discretion, to have taken any action that would constitute Cause or an Adverse Action during or within one (1) year
            after the termination of employment or other service with the Company or a Subsidiary, irrespective of whether such action or the Committee’s determination occurs before or after termination of such Participant’s employment or other service
            with the Company or any Subsidiary and irrespective of whether or not the Participant was terminated as a result of such Cause or Adverse Action, (i) all rights of the Participant under this Plan and any Award Agreements evidencing an Award
            then held by the Participant will terminate and be forfeited without notice of any kind, and (ii) the Committee in its sole discretion will have the authority to rescind the exercise, vesting or issuance of, or payment in respect of, any Awards
            of the Participant that were exercised, vested or issued, or as to which such payment was made, and to require the Participant to pay to the Company, within ten (10) days of receipt from the Company of notice of such rescission, any amount
            received or the amount of any gain realized as a result of such rescinded exercise, vesting, issuance or payment (including any dividends paid or other distributions made with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to any Award).  The
            Company may defer the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right for a period of up to six (6) months after receipt of the Participant’s written notice of exercise or the issuance of stock certificates or book-entry notations upon the
            vesting of any Award for a period of up to six (6) months after the date of such vesting in order for the Committee to make any determination as to the existence of Cause or an Adverse Action.  The Company will be entitled to withhold and
            deduct from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary) or make other arrangements for the collection of all amounts necessary to satisfy such payment
            obligations.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an applicable Award Agreement, this Section 14.5(a) will not apply to any Participant following a Change in Control.

       

      (b)         Forfeiture or Clawback of Awards Under Applicable Law and Company Policy.  Subject to the terms of an Individual Agreement, Awards under the Plan shall be subject to any automatic forfeiture
            or voluntary compensation “clawback,” forfeiture or recoupment provisions under Applicable Law and any compensation “clawback,” forfeiture or recoupment policy of the Company, as in effect from time to time (including, but not limited to, the
            Company’s Clawback and Forfeiture Policy as adopted in 2018), and such forfeiture and/or penalty conditions or provisions as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

              Payment of Withholding Taxes.

            

       

      15.1      General

                Rules.  The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for
            the collection of, all amounts the Company reasonably determines are necessary to satisfy any and all federal, foreign, state and local withholding and employment related tax requirements attributable to an Award, including the grant, exercise,
            vesting or settlement of, or payment of dividends with respect to, an Award or a disqualifying disposition of stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, or (b) require the Participant promptly to remit the amount of such
            withholding to the Company before taking any action, including issuing any shares of Common Stock, with respect to an Award.  When withholding shares of Common Stock for taxes is effected under this Plan, it will be withheld only up to an
            amount based on the maximum statutory tax rates in the Participant’s applicable tax jurisdiction or such other rate that will not trigger a negative accounting impact on the Company.

       

      
        23

        
          

      

      15.2      Special

                Rules.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee, permit or require a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding or employment related tax obligation
            described in Section 15.1 of this Plan by withholding shares of Common Stock underlying an Award, by electing to tender, or by attestation as to ownership of, Previously Acquired Shares, by delivery of a Broker Exercise Notice or a combination
            of such methods.  For purposes of satisfying a Participant’s withholding or employment-related tax obligation, shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company or Previously Acquired Shares tendered or covered by an attestation will be valued at
            their Fair Market Value on the Tax Date.

       

      	16.	
              Change in Control.

            

       

      16.1      Definition

                of Change in Control.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or Individual Agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, a “Change in
                Control” will mean the occurrence of any of the following:

       

      (a)         The acquisition, other than from the Company, by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
            Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election
            of directors, but excluding, for this purpose, any such acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any entity with respect to which, following
            such acquisition, more than fifty percent (50%) of, respectively, the then outstanding equity of such entity and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting equity of such entity entitled to vote generally in the election of all or
            substantially all of the members of such entity’s governing body is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Common Stock and voting securities of the
            Company immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the then
            outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be; or

       

      (b)        The consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company, in each case, with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the Common Stock and
            voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%)  of,
            respectively, the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from
            such reorganization, merger or consolidation; or

       

      (c)         a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

      16.2     Continuation,

                Assumption or Substitution of Outstanding Awards; Treatment Upon Subsequent Termination. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving or successor organization (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) (the “Successor”) may continue, assume or substitute equivalent awards (with such adjustments as may be required or permitted by Section 4.4 of this Plan). The Successor may elect to continue, assume or
            substitute only some Awards or portions of Awards. A substitute equivalent award must (i) have a value at least equal to the value of the Award being substituted; (ii) relate to a publicly-traded equity security of the Successor involved in the
            Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or the Successor following the Change in Control; (iii) be the same type of award as the Award being substituted; (iv) be vested to the extent vested at the time of and as
            a result of the Change in Control and (v) have other terms and conditions (including vesting, exercisability and effect of termination within two (2) years following a Change in Control) that are not less favorable to the Participant than the
            terms and conditions of the Award being substituted, in each case, as determined by the Committee (as constituted prior to the Change in Control) in its sole discretion. If an Award is continued, assumed or substituted by the Successor and
            within two (2) years following a Change in Control the Participant is terminated by the Successor (or an Affiliate thereof) without Cause, the following rules will apply to the continued, assumed or substituted Awards, unless otherwise
            specifically provided in the applicable Award Agreement:

       

      (a)      Any

            and all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will vest and become immediately exercisable as of the termination or resignation and will remain exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of its full specified term or the first anniversary
            of the date of such termination or resignation.

       

      (b)        All restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units that are not performance-based will lapse. Such Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units will be settled and paid in cash or shares of
            Common Stock as provided in the Award Agreement. If such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units will be paid within thirty
            (30) days following the termination or resignation. If such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units will be paid within
            the thirty (30) day period following the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) (a “Separation from Service”); provided,
            however, that if at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service, such Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), then payment will be suspended, except
            as permitted under Code Section 409A, until the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the Participant’s death.

       

      (c)      All

            vested and earned Awards that are performance-based for which the Performance Period has been completed as of the date of such termination or resignation but have not yet been paid will be paid in cash or Shares and at such time as provided in
            the Award Agreement; provided, however that if any such payment is to be made in Shares, the Committee may in its discretion, provide such holders the consideration provided to other similarly situated shareholders in such Change in Control.
            All performance-based Awards for which the Performance Period has not been completed as of the date of such termination or resignation will immediately vest and be earned in full, and paid out with respect to each Performance Goal based on
            actual performance achieved through the date of such termination or resignation with the manner of payment to be made in cash or Shares as provided in the Award Agreement within thirty (30) days following the date of such termination or
            resignation. If such Awards are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the Awards will be paid within the thirty (30) day period following the Participant’s Separation from Service; provided,
            however, that if at such time, such Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), then payment will be suspended, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, until
            to the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Separation from Service or (ii) the Participant’s death.

       

      
        25

        
          

      

      16.3       No
                Continuation, Assumption or Substitution of Outstanding Awards; Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a Change in Control, any outstanding Awards that are not continued, assumed or substituted with equivalent awards by the
            Successor pursuant to Section 16.2 of this Plan, or in the case of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Awards, will be subject to the following rules, in each case effective immediately prior to such Change in Control but
            conditioned upon the completion of such Change in Control:

       

      (a)        Any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will be fully vested and exercisable and the Committee will either (1) give a Participant a reasonable opportunity to exercise the Option and Stock Appreciation Right before the transaction
            resulting in the Change in Control (including cashless exercise by a Participant) or (2) pay the Participant the difference between the exercise price for such Option or the grant price for such Stock Appreciation Right and the per Share
            consideration provided to other similarly situated stockholders in such Change in Control; provided, however, that if the exercise price of such Option
            or the grant price of such Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the aforementioned consideration provided, then the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be canceled and terminated without any payment. In either case, such Option or Stock
            Appreciation Right will be cancelled. The Committee will not be obligated to treat all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights subject to this Section 16.3 in the same manner. The exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right whose
            exercisability is accelerated as provided in this Section 16.3 will be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control and will be effective only immediately before such consummation.

       

      (b)        All restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units that are not performance-based will lapse. Such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units will be settled and paid in cash or shares of
            Common Stock as provided in the Award Agreement. If Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units will be paid within thirty
            (30) days following the Change in Control. If Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the time of payment will depend on whether the Change in Control is a distribution
            event under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(a)(5) (a “409A Change in Control”). If the Change in Control is a 409A Change in Control, then the Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units subject to
            the requirements of Section 409A of the Code will be paid within the thirty (30) day period following the Change in Control. If the Change in Control is not a 409A Change in Control, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units subject to the
            requirements of Section 409A of the Code will be paid as of the earlier of the time specified in the Award Agreement or within the thirty (30) day period following the date the Participant has a Separation from Service following such Change in
            Control; provided, however, that if at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service, such Participant is a “specified employee” (within the
            meaning of Code Section 409A), then payment will be suspended, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, until the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Participant’s Separation
            from Service or (ii) the Participant’s death.

       

      
        26

        
          

      

      (c)        All vested and earned Awards that are performance-based for which the Performance Period has been completed as of the date of the Change in Control but have not yet been paid will be paid in cash or Shares and at such time as provided in
            the Award Agreement; provided, however that if any such payment is to be made in Shares, the Committee may in its discretion, provide such holders the consideration provided to
              other similarly situated shareholders in such Change in Control. All performance-based Awards for which the Performance Period has not been completed as of the date of the Change in Control will immediately vest and be earned in full,
            and paid out with respect to each Performance Goal based on actual performance achieved through the date of such Change in Control with the manner of payment to be made in cash or Shares as provided in the Award Agreement as soon as reasonably
            practicable after the Change in Control, but no later than within thirty (30) days following the date of the Change in Control; provided, however that
            if any such payment is to be made in Shares, the Committee may in its discretion, provide such holders the consideration provided to other similarly situated shareholders in such Change in Control.

       

      16.4      Alternative

                Special Treatment of Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding Section 16.2 and 16.3 above, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee, may decide in its discretion that, in lieu of treatment under Section 16.2 or 16.3
            above, with respect to any outstanding Performance Awards, (i) the Performance Period will end as of the date immediately prior to such Change in Control and the Committee will determine the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to
            such Performance Award have been satisfied at such time, (ii) the portion of such Performance Award that is deemed to have been earned pursuant to clause (i) above will be converted into a time-vesting Award of equivalent value to which any
            service vesting requirements applicable to the predecessor Performance Award will continue to apply and (iii) the converted time-vesting Award will be paid or settled on the settlement date or dates as provided under the terms of the
            predecessor Performance Award that would have applied had a Change in Control not occurred; provided however, that if within two (2) years following a
            Change in Control the Participant is terminated by the Successor (or an Affiliate thereof) without Cause, any service vesting requirements applicable to any such converted Award will be deemed to have been met and such converted Award will be
            immediately paid or settled upon such termination. The Committee will not be obligated to treat all Performance Awards subject to this Section 16.4 in the same manner.

       

      16.5       Limitation

                on Change in Control Payments.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16 to the contrary, if, with respect to a Participant, the acceleration of the vesting of an Award or the payment of cash in exchange for all or part of a
            Stock-Based Award (which acceleration or payment could be deemed a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), together with any other “payments” that such Participant has the right to receive from the Company or any
            corporation that is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section 1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section
            280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the “payments” to such Participant pursuant to Section 16.2 of this Plan will be reduced (or acceleration of vesting eliminated) to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such “payments” being subject
            to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that such reduction will be made only if the aggregate amount of the payments
            after such reduction exceeds the difference between (a) the amount of such payments absent such reduction minus (b) the aggregate amount of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code attributable to any such excess parachute
            payments; and provided, further that such payments will be reduced (or acceleration of vesting eliminated) by first reducing or eliminating payments or
            benefits the full value of which are required to be recognized as contingent upon a Change in Control (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.280G-1, Q/A-24), followed by reducing or eliminating payments or benefits which are not
            payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a
            Participant is subject to a separate agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary that expressly addresses the potential application of Section 280G or 4999 of the Code, then this Section 16.5 will not apply and any “payments” to a Participant
            pursuant to Section 16 of this Plan will be treated as “payments” arising under such separate agreement; provided, however, such separate agreement may
            not modify the time or form of payment under any Award that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code if the modification would cause such Award to become subject to the adverse tax consequences specified in Section
            409A of the Code.

       

      
        27

        
          

      

      16.6     Exceptions.
            Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16 to the contrary, individual Award Agreements or Individual Agreements between a Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may contain provisions with respect to vesting,
            payment or treatment of Awards upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, and the terms of any such Award Agreement or Individual Agreement will govern to the extent of any inconsistency with the terms of this Section 16. The Committee will
            not be obligated to treat all Awards subject to this Section 16 in the same manner. The timing of any payment under this Section 16 may be governed by any election to defer receipt of a payment made under a Company deferred compensation plan or
            arrangement.

              Rights of Eligible Recipients and Participants; Transferability.

            

       

      17.1     Employment. 

            Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of any Eligible Recipient or Participant at any time, nor confer upon any
            Eligible Recipient or Participant any right to continue employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      17.2      No
                Rights to Awards. Subject to the terms of an Individual Agreement, no Participant or Eligible Recipient will have any claim to be granted any Award under this Plan.

       

      17.3      Rights

                as a Stockholder.  Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, a Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by any Stock-Based Award unless and until the Participant
            becomes the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock and then subject to any restrictions or limitations as provided herein or in the Award Agreement.

       

      17.4       Restrictions

                on Transfer.

       

      (a)        Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise expressly permitted by subsections (b) and (c) below, no right or interest of any Participant in an Award prior to the exercise (in the case of
            Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) or vesting, issuance or settlement of such Award will be assignable or transferable, or subjected to any lien, during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or
            indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise.

       

      (b)       A
            Participant will be entitled to designate a beneficiary to receive an Award upon such Participant’s death, and in the event of such Participant’s death, payment of any amounts due under this Plan will be made to, and exercise of any Options or
            Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 14 of this Plan) may be made by, such beneficiary.  If a deceased Participant has failed to designate a beneficiary, or if a beneficiary designated by the Participant fails
            to survive the Participant, payment of any amounts due under this Plan will be made to, and exercise of any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 14 of this Plan) may be made by, the Participant’s
            legal representatives, heirs and legatees.  If a deceased Participant has designated a beneficiary and such beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before complete payment of all amounts due under this Plan or exercise of all exercisable
            Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, then such payments will be made to, and the exercise of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be made by, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the beneficiary.

       

      
        28

        
          

      

      (c)        Upon a Participant’s request, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a transfer of all or a portion of a Non-Statutory Stock Option, other than for value, to such Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent,
            grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, any person sharing such Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust
            in which any of the foregoing have more than fifty percent (50%) of the beneficial interests, a foundation in which any of the foregoing (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the
            Participant) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests.  Any permitted transferee will remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Participant prior to the transfer.  A permitted transfer may be conditioned
            upon such requirements as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine, including execution or delivery of appropriate acknowledgements, opinion of counsel, or other documents by the transferee.

       

      (d)        The Committee may impose such restrictions on any shares of Common Stock acquired by a Participant under this Plan as it may deem advisable, including minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities
            laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, or under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such shares or the Company’s insider trading policy.

       

      17.5      Non-Exclusivity

                of this Plan.  Nothing contained in this Plan is intended to modify or rescind any previously approved compensation plans or programs of the Company or create any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such
            additional or other compensation arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable.

       

      	18.	
              Securities Law and Other Restrictions.

            

       

      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award Agreements entered into pursuant to this Plan, the Company will not be required to
        issue any shares of Common Stock under this Plan, and a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan, unless (a) there is in effect with respect to such
        shares a registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of a state or foreign jurisdiction or an exemption from such registration under the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws, and (b)
        there has been obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any other U.S. or foreign regulatory body which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable. The Company may condition such issuance, sale or transfer upon
        the receipt of any representations or agreements from the parties involved, and the placement of any legends on certificates or book-entry notations representing shares of Common Stock, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in
        order to comply with such securities law or other restrictions.

      	19.	
              Deferred Compensation; Compliance with Section 409A.

            

       

      It is intended that all Awards issued under this Plan be in a form and administered in a manner that will comply with the requirements of Section
        409A of the Code, or the requirements of an exception to Section 409A of the Code, and the Award Agreements and this Plan will be construed and administered in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to such intent.  The Committee is
        authorized to adopt rules or regulations deemed necessary or appropriate to qualify for an exception from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  With respect to an Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation subject
        to Code Section 409A: (a) if any amount is payable under such Award upon a termination of service, a termination of service will be treated as having occurred only at such time the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service; (b) if any
        amount is payable under such Award upon a Disability, a Disability will be treated as having occurred only at such time the Participant has experienced a “disability” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A; (c) if any amount is
        payable under such Award on account of the occurrence of a Change in Control, a Change in Control will be treated as having occurred only at such time a “change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation or in the ownership of a
        substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” as such terms are defined for purposes of Code Section 409A, (d) if any amount becomes payable under such Award on account of a Participant’s Separation from Service at such time as the
        Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then no payment will be made, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, prior to the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the
        date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the Participant’s death, and (e) no amendment to or payment under such Award will be made except and only to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A.

       

      	20.	
              Amendment, Modification and Termination.

            

       

      20.1      Generally. 

            Subject to other subsections of this Section 20 and Sections 3.4 and 20.3 of this Plan, the Board at any time may suspend or terminate this Plan (or any portion thereof) or terminate any outstanding Award Agreement and the Committee, at any
            time and from time to time, may amend this Plan or amend or modify the terms of an outstanding Award.  The Committee’s power and authority to amend or modify the terms of an outstanding Award includes the authority to modify the number of
            shares of Common Stock or other terms and conditions of an Award, extend the term of an Award, accelerate the vesting of an Award, accept the surrender of any outstanding Award or, to the extent not previously exercised or vested, authorize the
            grant of new Awards in substitution for surrendered Awards; provided, however that the amended or modified terms are permitted by this Plan as then in
            effect, including without limitation Section 3.4 of this Plan and that any Participant adversely affected by such amended or modified terms has consented to such amendment or modification.

       

      20.2       Stockholder

                Approval.  No amendments to this Plan will be effective without approval of the Company’s stockholders if: (a) stockholder approval of the amendment is then required pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, the rules of the primary
            stock exchange or stock market on which the Common Stock is then traded, applicable state corporate laws or regulations, applicable federal laws or regulations, and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where Awards are, or
            will be, granted under this Plan; or (b) such amendment would: (i) modify Section 3.4 of this Plan; (ii) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under this Plan; (iii) modify the eligibility requirements for
            Participants in this Plan; or (iv) reduce the minimum exercise price or grant price as set forth in Sections 6.3 and 7.3 of this Plan.

       

      20.3      Awards

                Previously Granted.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no termination, suspension or amendment of this Plan may adversely affect any outstanding Award without the consent of the affected
            Participant; provided, however, that this sentence will not impair the right of the Committee to take whatever action it deems appropriate under
            Sections 3.4, 4.5, 12.5, 14, 16, 19 or 20.4 of this Plan.

       

      20.4      Amendments

                to Conform to Law.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may amend this Plan or an Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the
            purpose of conforming this Plan or an Award Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature, and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder.  By accepting an Award under this Plan, a
            Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 20.4 to any Award granted under this Plan without further consideration or action.

              Substituted Awards.

            

       

      The Committee may grant Awards under this Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees of another entity who become
        employees of the Company or a Subsidiary as a result of a merger or consolidation of the former employing entity with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the former employing
        corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute Awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.

       

      	22.	
              Effective Date and Duration of this Plan.

            

       

      This Plan is effective as of the Effective Date.  This Plan will terminate at midnight on the day before the ten (10) year anniversary of the
        Effective Date, and may be terminated prior to such time by Board action.  No Award will be granted after termination of this Plan, but Awards outstanding upon termination of this Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable
        terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan.

       

      	23.	
              Miscellaneous.

            

       

      23.1       Usage. 

            In this Plan, except where otherwise indicated by clear contrary intention, (a) any masculine term used herein also will include the feminine, (b) the plural will include the singular, and the singular will include the plural, (c) “including”
            (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term, and (d) “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or”.

       

      23.2       Unfunded

                Plan.  Participants will have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company or its Subsidiaries may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan.  Nothing contained in this Plan,
            and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will 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 individual.  To the
            extent that any individual acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Subsidiary under this Plan, such right will be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may
            be.  All payments to be made hereunder will be paid from the general funds of the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, and no special or separate fund will be established and no segregation of assets will be made to assure payment of
            such amounts except as expressly set forth in this Plan.

       

      23.3     Relationship

                to Other Benefits. Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Common Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards under this Plan will be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any
            Participant under any pension, retirement (qualified or non-qualified), savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare, or benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary unless provided otherwise in such plan.

       

      23.4     Effect
                on Existing Agreements.  Nothing in this Plan is intended to abrogate the rights of any Participant under any contract or agreement existing between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary, or any subsequent amendments
            or modifications of such contract or agreement, and all Awards granted under this Plan and actions taken with respect to this Plan shall be subject to the terms of any contract or agreement between the Participant and the Company.

       

      
        31

        
          

      

      23.5       Fractional

                Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered under this Plan or any Award.  The Committee will determine whether cash, other Awards or other property will be issued or paid in lieu of fractional
            shares of Common Stock or whether such fractional shares of Common Stock or any rights thereto will be forfeited or otherwise eliminated by rounding up or down.

       

      23.6       Governing

                Law; Mandatory Jurisdiction.  Except to the extent expressly provided herein or in connection with other matters of corporate governance and authority (all of which will be governed by the laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of
            incorporation), the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of this Plan and any rules, regulations and actions relating to this Plan will be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the
            State of Delaware, notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdictions.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement, the Company and recipients of an Award under this Plan hereby irrevocably submit to the
            jurisdiction and venue of the Federal or State courts of the States of Colorado and Delaware relative to any and all disputes, issues and/or claims that may arise out of or relate to this Plan or any related Award Agreement.  The Company and
            recipients of an Award under this Plan further agree that any and all such disputes, issues and/or claims arising out of or related to this Plan or any related Award Agreement will be brought and decided in the Federal or State courts of the
            States of Colorado or Delaware, with such jurisdiction and venue selected by and at the sole discretion of the Company.

       

      23.7       Successors. 

            All obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger,
            consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

       

      23.8      Construction. 

            Wherever possible, each provision of this Plan and any Award Agreement will be interpreted so that it is valid under the Applicable Law.  If any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement is to any extent invalid under the Applicable Law,
            that provision will still be effective to the extent it remains valid.  The remainder of this Plan and the Award Agreement also will continue to be valid, and the entire Plan and Award Agreement will continue to be valid in other jurisdictions.

       

      23.9      Delivery

                and Execution of Electronic Documents.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company may:  (a) deliver by email or other electronic means (including posting on a Web site maintained by the Company or by a third party
            under contract with the Company) all documents relating to this Plan or any Award hereunder (including prospectuses required by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its
            security holders (including annual reports and proxy statements), and (b) permit Participants to use electronic, internet or other non-paper means to execute applicable Plan documents (including Award Agreements) and take other actions under
            this Plan in a manner prescribed by the Committee.

       

      23.10     Corporate

                Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the
            Committee, regardless of when the instrument, certificate or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board or Committee consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price,
            vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the papering of the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records
            will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

       

      
        32

        
          

      

      23.11    No
                Representations or Warranties Regarding Tax Effect; No Obligation to Minimize or Notify Regarding Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Board, and the Committee
            neither represent nor warrant the tax treatment under any federal, state, local, or foreign laws and regulations thereunder (individually and collectively referred to as the “Tax Laws”) of any Award
            granted or any amounts paid to any Participant under this Plan including, but not limited to, when and to what extent such Awards or amounts may be subject to tax, penalties, and interest under the Tax Laws and have no duty or obligation to
            minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the holder of such Award. The Company will have no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising an Award. Furthermore, the Company will have no
            duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised.

       

      23.12    Indemnification. 

            Subject to any limitations and requirements of Delaware law, each individual who is or will have been a member of the Board, or a Committee appointed by the Board, or an officer or Employee of the Company to whom authority was delegated in
            accordance with Section 3.3 of this Plan, will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting
            from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in
            settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she will give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to
            handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his/her own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individuals may be entitled
            under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or pursuant to any agreement with the Company, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

      PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

      

      

      Pursuant to the Notice of Performance Share Unit Grant (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”)
        is attached and which Grant Notice is included in and part of this Agreement, and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Century Communities, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), Century
        Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Participant named in the Grant Notice (the “Participant”) agree as follows.

       

      1.           Incorporation of Plan; Definitions. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement will be construed in accordance
            with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Grant Notice will have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan. The provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted as to be
            consistent with the Plan and any ambiguities in this Agreement will be interpreted by reference to the Plan.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is not authorized by or is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the
            Plan will prevail. The Committee will have final authority to reasonably interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations thereunder, and its decision will be binding and conclusive upon the Participant
            and his or her legal representatives in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. A copy of the Plan and the Plan Prospectus have been delivered to the Participant together with this Agreement.

       

      2.          Grant of Performance Share Units.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant Performance Share Units, as set forth in the Grant Notice and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as provided in the
            Plan, and each of which, once vested and earned pursuant to this Agreement, will be settled in one (1) share of Common Stock, at the time and subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth below and in the Plan.  Reference in this
            Agreement to the Performance Share Units will be deemed to include the Dividend Equivalents with respect to such Performance Share Units as set forth in Section 4.3 of this Agreement.

       

      3.            Performance Vesting; Determination of Amount of Performance Share Units.

       

      3.1        Performance Vesting and Performance Goals.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, Section 6 of this Agreement, the Plan or an Individual Agreement, the Performance Share Units
            will vest and the number of shares of Common Stock payable in settlement of such vested Performance Share Units shall be determined as of the end of the Performance Period (the “Vesting Date”) by reference to the level of achievement of
            the Performance Goals during the Performance Period in accordance with the table set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement and may range from 0% to [250% for Co-CEOs/200% for CFO] of the Participant’s Target Potential Payout as set forth
            in the Grant Notice.  The Performance Goals to be achieved on a cumulative basis over the Performance Period and their respective weightings and their respective Threshold, Target, Above Target and Maximum levels of performance, are described
            in the table set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

       

      3.2       Determination of Amount of Earned Performance Share Units. The number of Performance Share Units to be settled in shares of Common Stock (the “Earned Performance Share Units”)
            will be determined for each Performance Goal by prorated, straight-line interpolation between Threshold and Target, Target and Above Target, or Above Target and Maximum if the level of the performance attained for the Performance Goal for the
            Performance Period falls between such levels, as specified in the table set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, and the determination of the aggregate Earned Performance Share Units will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of
            Performance Share Units.  The Earned Performance Share Units will be settled in whole shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement.

       

      
        3

        
          

      

      3.3       Requirement to Meet Threshold Level of Performance. Except as otherwise provided in Section 16 of the Plan or an Individual Agreement, and to the extent not previously forfeited or
            terminated pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, the Performance Share Units shall be immediately forfeited and terminated as of the end of the Performance Period if none of the Performance Goals meet the Threshold as described in the table
            set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement and the Committee reasonably determines that Section 3.4 or 6 of this Agreement does not apply.

       

      3.4         Adjustments for Certain Pre-Determined Events. In determining whether and to what extent each Performance Goal has been achieved, the Committee shall include or exclude from the
            calculation of the Performance Goal, applying U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, each of the events identified on Exhibit A that occurs during the Performance Period.

       

      4.            Settlement; Issuance of Common Stock.

       

      4.1         Settlement; Amount of Payment.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 9 of the Plan, in the event of the achievement of at least the Threshold level of performance with respect to each
            Performance Goal described in the table set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement during the Performance Period, which achievement must be certified in writing by the Committee as soon as practicable following the expiration of the
            Performance Period, the Participant shall vest in the Earned Performance Share Units up to the Maximum Potential Payout as determined pursuant to Section 3 and Exhibit A to this Agreement.  If each Performance Goal is not achieved at
            the Threshold level of performance or above, after adjustments under Section 3.4 of this Agreement or Section 9 of the Plan, if applicable, and the Committee determines that Section 3.4 or 6 of this Agreement does not apply, then the
            Performance Share Units shall be forfeited and canceled and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any shares in settlement thereof. The Participant may not be entitled to receive a greater number of Performance Share Units than the
            Maximum Potential Payout, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. In the event the Performance Share Units are forfeited or cancelled for any reason pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 6 of this Agreement or otherwise, no shares of Common Stock
            shall be issued or payment made in settlement of the Performance Share Units.

       

      4.2         Timing and Manner of Settlement.  Earned Performance Share Units will be converted to whole shares of Common Stock (no fractional shares will be issued) which the Company will issue and
            deliver to the Participant (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form in the name of the Participant or depositing such shares for the Participant’s benefit with any broker with
            which the Participant has an account relationship or the Company has engaged to provide such services under the Plan, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) within sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date, except to the extent
            that shares of Common Stock are withheld to pay tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement or the Participant has properly elected to defer income that may be attributable to such Performance Share Units under a Company
            deferred compensation plan or arrangement.

       

      4.3         Dividend Equivalents.  The Performance Share Units are being granted with Dividend Equivalents. On the date of payment under Section 4.2, in addition to the shares of Common Stock
            issuable under Section 4.1, the Company will issue and deliver to the Participant that number of additional whole shares of Common Stock (no fractional shares will be issued so the number of shares of Common Stock will be rounded down to the
            nearest whole share) equal to the Dividend Equivalent amount determined under this Section 4.3. In calculating the Dividend Equivalent amount, the Company
            shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Participant if the total number of Performance Share Units earned under Section 4.1 had been outstanding as shares of Common Stock from the beginning of
            the Performance Period until the payment date and in lieu of any regular cash dividends, on the dividend payment date of each regular cash dividend otherwise
            payable on such shares (the “Dividend Date”), the Company had issued Participant a number of additional shares of Common Stock with a Dividend Date Market Value equal to: (i) the per-share dollar amount of the declared dividend
            multiplied by (ii) the sum of the number of Performance Share Units earned under Section 4.1 above and the number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued hereunder as Dividend Equivalents as of each declared record date for the dividends
            declared prior to the Dividend Date. For purposes of calculating the “Dividend Date Market Value” in the preceding sentence, the Company shall use the closing price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at the end of the regular
            trading session, as reported by The New York Stock Exchange on the Dividend Date.

       

      
        4

        
          

      

      4.4         Section 409A.  If any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable with respect to the Performance Share Units as a result of the Participant’s “separation from service” at such time as the
            Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then no shares shall be issued, except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, prior to the earlier of (i) the date immediately after the end of the
            six-month period following the Participant’s “separation from service”, or (ii) the Participant’s death. Payment of amounts under this Agreement (by issuance of shares of Common Stock or otherwise) is intended to comply with the requirements of
            Section 409A of the Code and this Agreement shall in all respects be administered and construed to give effect to such intent. The Committee in its sole discretion may accelerate or delay the distribution of any payment under this Agreement to
            the extent allowed under Section 409A of the Code.

       

      5.         Holding Period.  If indicated on Exhibit A to this Agreement and except as provided under Section 6.3, any net shares of Common Stock received by the Participant in connection with the
            settlement of the Earned Performance Share Units must be held by the Participant for at least twelve (12) months after such settlement. For purposes of this Section 5, “net shares” means those shares of Common Stock that remain after shares of
            Common Stock are sold or netted to pay any required withholding taxes associated with the settlement of the Earned Performance Share Units.

       

      6.           Employment or Service Requirement.

       

      6.1         Service Condition.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, Section 6 of this Agreement, an Individual Agreement or the Plan, the Performance Share Units will vest
            on the Vesting Date, provided the Participant remains continuously employed by or providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary through the Vesting Date.

       

      6.2         Change in Control. Except as otherwise provided in an Individual Agreement between the Company and the Participant, upon a Change in Control, the Performance Share Units will be subject
            to Section 16 of the Plan.

       

      6.3         Effect of Termination of Employment or Other Service. Except as otherwise provided in Section 16 of the Plan or an Individual Agreement between the Company and the Participant, in the
            event the Participant’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, including by the Company for Cause, or by reason of death or Disability of the Participant, all outstanding but unvested
            Performance Share Units held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will be terminated and forfeited. Vested shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the vested Performance Share Units will remain subject to the
            holding period under Section 5, provided, if Termination of Employment is by reason of death or Disability of the Participant, or by the Company within twenty four (24) months following a Change in Control, the remaining term of the holding
            period under Section 5, if any, will lapse.

       

      6.4        Effect of Actions Constituting Cause or Adverse Action; Forfeiture or Clawback. The Performance Share Units are subject to the
        forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 14.5 of the Plan, including those applicable if the Participant is determined by the Committee to have taken any action that would constitute Cause or an Adverse Action and any forfeiture or clawback
        requirement under Applicable Law or any policy adopted from time to time by the Company.

      7.           Rights of Participant.

       

      7.1       Employment or Other Service.  Nothing in this Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the
            Participant at any time, nor confer upon the Participant any right to continue employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      7.2         Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by the Performance Share Units unless and until the
            Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Performance Share Units. By way of example and without limitation, the Participant will not be entitled to vote any of the shares of Common
            Stock covered by the Performance Share Units, or otherwise exercise any incidents of ownership with respect to such shares until such shares have been issued pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
            Participant will be entitled to Dividend Equivalents pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Agreement.

       

      7.3        Restrictions on Transfer.  Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Plan, no right or interest of the
            Participant in the Performance Share Units prior to the vesting and settlement of the Performance Share Units will be assignable or transferable, or subjected to any lien, during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or
            involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise.  Any attempt to transfer, assign or encumber the Performance Share Units other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan will be null and void and the
            Performance Share Units for which the Restrictions have not lapsed will be forfeited and immediately returned to the Company.

       

      8.         Withholding Taxes. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Participant from the Company or a
            Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all amounts the Company reasonably determines are legally required to satisfy any and all federal, foreign, state and local withholding and employment related tax requirements
            attributable to the Performance Share Units, or (b) require the Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action, including issuing any shares of Common Stock, with respect to the Performance
            Share Units.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee, permit or require the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding or employment related tax obligation in
            connection with the settlement of the Performance Share Units by withholding shares of Common Stock issuable upon settlement of the Performance Share Units. When withholding shares of Common Stock for taxes is effected under this Agreement and
            the Plan, it will be withheld only up to the minimum amount the Company reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy any tax withholding obligation in the Participant’s applicable tax jurisdiction.

            registration under the Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Participant will submit a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such representation (x) is true
            and correct as of the date of issuance of any shares of Common Stock hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such share, as applicable.  As a further condition precedent to the delivery to the Participant of any
            shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Share Units, the Participant will comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or supervision over the issuance or delivery of the shares and, in

      9.8        Non-Negotiable Terms. The terms of this Agreement and the Performance Share Units are not negotiable, but the Participant may refuse to accept the Performance Share Units by notifying
            the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or Vice President, Human Resources in writing within thirty (30) day after the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice.

       

      9.9         Acknowledgement by the Participant. In accepting the Performance Share Units, the Participant hereby acknowledges that:

       

      (a)          The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan.

       

      (b)          The grant of the Performance Share Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Performance Share Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Share Units, even
            if Performance Share Units have been granted repeatedly in the past.

       

      (c)          All decisions with respect to future Performance Share Unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

       

      (d)          The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

       

      (e)          The grant of Performance Share Units is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of
            service payments, bonuses, long-service pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      (f)           The Performance Share Units or this Agreement will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      (g)        The future value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Share Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and if the Performance Share Units vest and the shares of Common Stock become
            issuable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the value of those shares of Common Stock may increase or decrease.

       

      (h)        In consideration of the grant of the Performance Share Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Performance Share Units or diminution in value of the Performance
            Share Units or shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Share Units resulting from termination of employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws) and the
            Participant hereby irrevocably releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by acceptance of
            the Performance Share Units, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.

       

      (i)          Except as otherwise provided in an Individual Agreement, in the event of termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to
            receive the Performance Share Units and vest in the Performance Share Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of termination of his or her active employment as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and
            will not be extended by any notice of termination of employment or severance period provided to the Participant by contract or practice of the Company or any Subsidiary or mandated under local law and the Committee will have the sole discretion
            to determine the date of termination of the Participant’s active employment for purposes of the Performance Share Units.

       

      
        8

        
          

      

      (j)          Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company or any Subsidiary making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan,
            acceptance of the Performance Share Units, acquisition of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Performance Share Units or any sale of such shares.

       

      (k)          The Participant has been advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

       

      (l)          The Participant hereby agrees to accept electronic delivery of copies of any future amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or any future Prospectuses relating the Plan and copies of all reports, proxy
            statements and other communications distributed to the Company’s security holders generally by email directed to the Participant’s Company email address.
