all persons having an interest in the Plan.

and subject to any limitations that the Committee may establish. 

  

	 	(e)	 Employment of Advisors. The Committee may select and employ attorneys, consultants, accountants and
other advisors at the Company’s expense (and may determine the compensation thereof), and the Committee, the Company and the officers and directors of the Company may rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of the advisors employed.

  
 4 

	 	(f)	 No Liability. No member of the Committee, nor any person acting as a delegate of the Committee with
respect to the Plan, shall be liable for any losses resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken, interpretation or construction made in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Award Agreement, or any Award granted under the Plan.

  

	4.	 Eligibility and Grants. 

 

	 	(a)	 Eligibility. All Eligible Directors are eligible to receive Awards granted under the Plan.

  

	 	(b)	 Grants. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to Eligible
Directors upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. All Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Awards may be granted singly or in combination or in tandem with other Awards.

  

	5.	 Share Limits. 

 

	 	(a)	 Share Limits. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9, the maximum aggregate number of
Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be 1,000,000, and the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to an independent director under the Plan in a year shall be 20,000. Each Share issued
pursuant to the Plan shall count as one Share against such share limit. If an Award terminates, expires or is forfeited or cancelled for any reason without the issuance of Shares, or is settled in cash, the Shares underlying such Award shall be
available for future Awards under the Plan. Shares that are tendered or withheld in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price of an Award or in satisfaction of withholding tax obligations, and Shares that are reacquired with cash tendered in
payment of the Exercise Price of an Award, shall not be included in or added to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Upon the settlement of any Stock Appreciation Right issued under the Plan, the gross number of Shares used to
determine the settlement value will count against the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Shares utilized under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued Shares or issued Shares reacquired by the Company, as determined by
the Board from time to time. 

  

	6.	 Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock. 

 

	 	(a)	 General. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Restricted Stock Units
and Restricted Stock under the Plan pursuant to the terms and conditions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, the periods of restriction, the date
of grant and the effect, if any, of a Change in Control, death, disability or retirement, or other termination of a Participant’s directorship on such 

  
 5 

	 	
Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock). As soon as practicable after Restricted Stock has been granted, certificates for all Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the
Participant and held for the Participant by the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	 Voting and Dividend Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a
Participant’s Award Agreement, such Participant shall have (i) no voting rights or dividend or dividend equivalent rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder, and (ii) the right to exercise full voting rights,
and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid, with respect to any Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder. 

  

	 	(c)	 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. At the discretion of the Committee determined at the time of grant
and as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, dividends issued on Shares of Restricted Stock or Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to Restricted Stock Units, may be paid immediately or withheld and deferred in the Participant’s
account; provided, however, that with respect to any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 409A of the Code, the payment of such dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Committee shall
determine any terms and conditions on deferral, including the rate of interest to be credited on deferrals and whether interest will be compounded. 

  

	 	(d)	 Other Restrictions. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and as set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement, impose any other conditions and/or restrictions on Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan that it deems appropriate, including any vesting schedule or forfeiture conditions. The Committee has discretion to
provide for an incremental lapse of restrictions or for a lapse of restrictions upon satisfaction of certain conditions. 

  

	 	(e)	 Delivery of Restricted Stock. When restrictions lapse or are satisfied, a stock certificate for the
number of Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. 

 

	 	(f)	 Redemption of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units may be redeemed for cash or whole Shares or
a combination of cash and whole Shares, in the sole discretion of the Committee, when the restrictions lapse and any other conditions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement have been satisfied; provided, however, that with respect to any
Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 409A of the Code such redemption shall occur in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Each Restricted Stock Unit may be redeemed for one Share or an amount in cash equal to the Fair
Market Value of a Share as of the date on which the Restricted Stock Unit vests. 

  

	 	(g)	 Deferred Units. Subject to Section 13(j) hereof and to the extent determined by the Committee,
Participants may be permitted to request the deferral of payment of vested Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalents) to a date later than the payment date specified in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that any such
election be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. 

  
 6 

	 	(h)	 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan. If a Participant acquires the
right to receive a fractional Share under the Plan, the Participant will receive either cash in lieu of the fractional Share in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the fractional Share as of the date of settlement or the next highest whole
number of Shares, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 

  

	7.	 Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. 

 

	 	(a)	 General. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Stock Options and/or
Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan pursuant to the other terms and conditions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine and set forth in the Award Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exercise Price, the maximum
duration of the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions upon which a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall vest and become exercisable, the date of grant, and the effect, if any, of a Change in Control, death, disability or
retirement, or other termination of a Participant’s directorship on such Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights). 

  

	 	(b)	 Form. Each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option. Stock Appreciation
Rights may be granted either alone or in connection with concurrently or previously issued Stock Options. 

  

	 	(c)	 Exercise Price. The Committee shall set the Exercise Price of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights
granted under the Plan at a price that is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9. The Exercise Price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a
Stock Option shall be equal to the Exercise Price of the related Stock Option. The Committee shall set forth the Exercise Price of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right in the Award Agreement. 

 

	 	(d)	 Duration of Stock Options. Each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right granted to a Participant shall
expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that no Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary
of its date of grant. 

  

	 	(e)	 Timing of Exercise. Each Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which terms and restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and need not be the same for each grant
or for each Participant. 

  
 7 

	 	(f)	 Payment of Stock Option Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of a Stock Option must be paid in full when
the Stock Option is exercised. Share certificates shall be registered and delivered only upon receipt of payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer, postal or express money order, or
other instrument acceptable to the Company. In addition, unless the Committee determines otherwise, payment of all or a portion of the Exercise Price may be made by: 

 

	 	i.	 Delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company or its agent, together with irrevocable
instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the Shares to be acquired having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the applicable portion of the
Exercise Price being so paid; or 

  

	 	ii.	 Tendering (actually or by attestation) to the Company previously acquired Shares that have been held by the
Participant for at least six (6) months, subject to Section 7(f)(v), and that have a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; or 

 

	 	iii.	 Instructing the Company to withhold Shares that would otherwise be issued having a Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid (provided such withholding has been expressly authorized by the Committee); or 

 

	 	iv.	 Any combination of the methods described in Sections 7(f)(i), (ii), and (iii). 

 

	 	v.	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in consideration of applicable accounting standards, may waive
any holding period on Shares required to tender pursuant to Section 7(f)(ii) or prohibit withholding pursuant to Section 7(f)(iii). 

  

	 	(g)	 Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon exercise, Stock Appreciation Rights may be redeemed for cash
or Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, and as described in the Award Agreement. Cash payments shall be equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Exercise
Price, for each Share for which a Stock Appreciation Right was exercised. If the Stock Appreciation Right is redeemed for Shares, the Participant shall receive a number of whole Shares equal to the quotient of the cash payment amount divided by the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise. 

  

	 	(h)	 Certain Prohibitions. The following terms or actions shall not be permitted with respect to any Award of
Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights: 

  

	 	i.	 No Repricing. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9, in no event shall the Committee decrease the
Exercise Price of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right after the date of grant or cancel outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and grant replacement Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with a lower Exercise Price than

  
 8 

	 	
that of the replaced Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or other Awards, or purchase underwater Stock Options from a Participant for cash or replacement Awards without first obtaining the
approval of the Company’s stockholders in a manner that complies with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. 

  

	 	ii.	 No Dividend Equivalents. The Committee shall not provide for the payment of Dividend Equivalents with respect
to Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 

  

	 	iii.	 No Reload Options. The Committee shall not grant Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that have reload
features under which the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right by a Participant automatically entitles the Participant to a new Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right. 

 

	 	iv.	 No Additional Deferral Features. The Committee shall not grant Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that
have “additional deferral features” as described in Section 409A of the Code, thereby subjecting the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

 

	 	(i)	 Termination of Directorship. Each Participant’s Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which
the Participant shall have the right to exercise a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right following termination of the Participant’s service as a director of the Company (whether by death, disability, retirement, or any other reason). Such
provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the applicable Award Agreement subject to Section 3(b)(v), need not be uniform among all Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted, and may
reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

  

	8.	 Regulatory Compliance and Listing. 

The issuance or delivery of any Shares in settlement of an Award may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required to comply
with any applicable requirements under the Federal securities laws, any applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery of such Shares, and
the Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any Shares if the issuance or delivery of such Shares shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities
exchange. 
  

	9.	 Adjustment Upon Certain Changes. 

 

	 	(a)	 Adjustments. In the event of any change in corporate structure affecting outstanding Shares or the value
thereof, including any dividend or distribution (whether in cash, Shares or other property), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination or
exchange of shares or similar transaction, such adjustments and other substitutions shall be made to the Plan and to outstanding Awards as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable or appropriate , including such adjustments in
(i) the maximum aggregate number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under the Plan, 

  
 9 

	 	
and (ii) the number, class, kind and Exercise Price of securities subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan (including, if the Committee deems appropriate, the full or partial
substitution of similar options to purchase the shares of, or other awards denominated in the shares of, another company). 

  

	 	(b)	 Other Changes. The Committee may make other adjustments in the terms and conditions of Awards in
recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 9(a)) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable
laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits to be made available under the Plan. 

 

	 	(c)	 No Other Rights or Changes. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant or Eligible
Director shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger
or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares or amount of other property subject to, or the terms related to, any Award. Except as expressly provided by this Section 9, and without limiting the generality of
Section 11, no adverse change may be made to the terms of an Award granted to a Participant as a result of an event described in this Section 9 without the consent of the Participant. 

 

	 	(d)	 Certain Other Transactions. In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
(ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (on a consolidated basis), (iii) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iv) a
merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of Shares receive securities of another corporation and/or other property, including cash, the Committee shall,
subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable and otherwise in its sole discretion, have the power to: 

  

	 	i.	 cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Award (whether or not then
exercisable), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Award was granted an amount in cash, for each Share subject to such Award equal to the value, as determined by the Committee in its reasonable
discretion, of such Award; provided, however, that with respect to any outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right such value shall be equal to the excess of (x) the value, as determined by the Committee in its reasonable
discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a Share as a result of such event over (y) the Exercise Price of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right; or 

  
 10 

	 	ii.	 provide for the exchange of each Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested) for an Award with respect
to, as appropriate, some or all of the property which a holder of the number of Shares subject to such Award would have received in such transaction and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment in accordance with U.S. Department of Treasury
Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and as determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion in the Exercise Price of the Award, or the number of Shares or amount of property subject to the Award or,
if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to the Participant to whom such Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Award. 

  

	10.	 Change in Control. 

 

	 	(a)	 Assumption Upon Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the
event of a Change in Control, if the successor company assumes or substitutes for an outstanding Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and continues the Award), then such Award shall be continued in accordance with its
applicable terms and vesting shall not be accelerated as described in Section 10(b). For the purposes of this Section 10(a), an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the
right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control by
holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided,
however, that if such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be
received upon the exercise or vesting of an Award, for each Share subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company or cash, in each case, substantially equal in fair market value (determined as of the date of the Change in
Control) to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the transaction constituting a Change in Control. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion
and its determination shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Award shall be assumed or substituted pursuant to this Section 10(a) to the extent such action would cause an Award not otherwise “deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code to become “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. 

 

	 	(b)	 Acceleration of Vesting Upon Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control after the date of
the adoption of the Plan, unless provision is made in connection with the Change in Control for the assumption, substitution or continuation of an outstanding Award in accordance with Section 10(a), then the vesting of such Award

  
 11 

	 	
shall accelerate and all restrictions shall lapse as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (i) in the case of an outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, such Award
shall be exercisable as of immediately prior to such Change in Control, or (ii) in the case of an Award other than a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, such Award shall be settled or otherwise paid to the applicable Participant as soon
as practicable following such vesting. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10(b), unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if any amount payable pursuant to an Award constitutes deferred compensation within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, in the event of a Change in Control that does not qualify as an event described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, such Award (and any other Awards that constitute deferred compensation that
vested prior to the date of such Change in Control but are outstanding as of such date) shall vest and cease to be forfeitable but shall not be settled until the earliest permissible payment event under Section 409A of the Code following such
Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right outstanding shall terminate
within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant, and such Participant shall receive, with respect to each Share subject to such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value (as
determined by the Committee, in its discretion, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code) of such Share immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over the Exercise Price, as applicable, per Share of such Stock
Option and/or Stock Appreciation Right; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of stock or property (including the stock or property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its
discretion, shall determine and (ii) each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right outstanding at such time with an Exercise Price per Share that exceeds the fair market value (as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, in a manner
that complies with Section 409A of the Code) of such Share immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control shall be canceled for no consideration. 

 

	11.	 Termination or Amendment of the Plan. 

 

	 	(a)	 Amendment. The Board may at any time and from time to time alter or amend the Plan or any part thereof
(including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred to in Section 8); provided, however, that, (i) unless otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, the
rights of a Participant with respect to Awards granted prior to such alteration or amendment may not be impaired without the consent of such Participant, and (ii) without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, no amendment shall be
made if (A) stockholder approval is required by applicable law or in order to comply with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or (B) such amendment materially increases the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (other
than an increase pursuant to Section 9). 

  
 12 

	 	(b)	 Termination. The Plan shall terminate upon the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the
Plan. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after it has terminated. The termination of the Plan, however, shall not alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of any person without consent under any Award previously granted under the
Plan. After the termination of the Plan, any previously granted Awards shall remain in effect and shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

 

	12.	 Nontransferability of Awards. 

 

	 	(a)	 No Award under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or transfer, and no other persons shall otherwise acquire any rights therein, except as provided below: 

  

	 	i.	 Any Award may be transferred by will or by the applicable laws of descent or distribution; or

  

	 	ii.	 The Committee may provide in the applicable Award Agreement that all or any part of an Award may, subject to
the prior written consent of the Committee, be transferred to one or more of the following classes of transferees: (i) a family member; (ii) a trust for the benefit of a family member; (iii) a limited partnership whose partners are
solely family members; or (iv) any other legal entity set up for the benefit of family members. For purposes of this paragraph, with respect to a Participant, “family member” means the Participant and/or the Participant’s spouse,
children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews, including adopted, in-laws and step family members; or 

 

	 	iii.	 With respect to Restricted Stock, Shares of Restricted Stock may be freely transferred after the restrictions
lapse or are satisfied and the Shares are delivered; provided, however, that Restricted Stock awarded to an affiliate of the Company may be transferred only pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an effective
registration for resale under the Securities Act. For purposes of this paragraph, “affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to that term under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. 

 

	 	(b)	 Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right
transferred by a Participant pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) may be exercised by the transferee only to the extent that the Award would have been exercisable by the Participant had no transfer occurred. Any transferred Award shall be subject to
all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and in the applicable Award Agreement. The Participant or the Participant’s estate shall remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state, or local tax
authority, and the transfer of Shares upon exercise of the Award shall be conditioned on the payment of any withholding tax. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, disallow all or a part of any transfer of an Award pursuant to
Section 12(a)(ii) unless and until the Participant makes arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment of any withholding tax. The Participant must immediately notify the

  
 13 

	 	
Committee, in the form and manner required by the Committee, of any proposed transfer of an Award pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) and no such transfer shall be effective until the Committee
consents to the transfer in writing. 

  

	13.	 Miscellaneous. 

 

	 	(a)	 No Implied Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to create any obligation on the part of the Board
to nominate any director for reelection by the Company’s stockholders. 

  

	 	(b)	 Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of
Shares in settlement of any Award, payment by the Participant of any taxes required by law with respect to the issuance or delivery of such Shares. Such amount may be paid in cash, in Shares previously owned by the Participant, by withholding a
portion of the Shares that otherwise would be distributed to such Participant upon settlement of the Award or a combination of cash and Shares. 

  

	 	(c)	 Code Section 83(b) Elections. The Company and the Committee have no responsibility
for a Participant’s election, attempt to elect or failure to elect to include the value of an Award of Restricted Stock or other Award subject to Section 83 of the Code in the Participant’s gross income for the year of grant pursuant
to Section 83(b) of the Code. Any Participant who makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code shall promptly provide the Committee with a copy of the election form. 

 

	 	(d)	 No Obligation to Exercise Awards; No Right to Notice of Expiration Date. The grant of a Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise the Award. The Company and the Committee have no obligation to inform a Participant of the date on which a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right lapses except in
the Award Agreement. 

  

	 	(e)	 No Rights as Stockholders. Except as expressly set forth in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement,
a Participant granted an Award under the Plan shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Award unless and until certificates for the Shares underlying the Award are registered in the Participant’s name and
delivered to the Participant. The right of any Participant to receive an Award by virtue of participation in the Plan shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 

 

	 	(f)	 Indemnification of Committee. The Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each
person made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person, or the executor or administrator of the person’s estate, is or was a member of the Committee or a delegate of the
Committee. 

  
 14 

	 	(g)	 No Required Segregation of Assets. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at
any time be represented by Awards granted pursuant to the Plan. 

  

	 	(h)	 Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken under the Plan shall be governed
by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable U.S. federal law. 

 

	 	(i)	 Severability. If any provision of the Plan is held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other parts of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

  

	 	(j)	 Section 409A of the Code. With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the
Code, this Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of such Section, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of such Section and the related regulations, and the Plan shall be operated
accordingly. If any provision of this Plan or any term or condition of any Award Agreement or Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this
conflict. Any reservation of rights or discretion by the Company or Committee hereunder affecting the payment of any Award subject to Section 409A of the Code shall only be as broad as is permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

  

	 	(k)	 Forfeiture Provisions. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in an Award Agreement that an Award
granted thereunder shall be canceled if the Participant, without the consent of the Company, while providing services to the Company or for a period after termination of such service, (a) violates a noncompetition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, confidentiality, or non-disparagement covenant or agreement, (b) otherwise engages in activity
that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or
(c) to the extent applicable to the Participant, otherwise violates any policy adopted by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate relating to the recovery of compensation granted, paid, delivered, awarded or otherwise provided to any
Participant by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate as such policy is in effect on the date of grant of the applicable Award or, to the extent necessary to address the requirements of applicable law (including Section 954 of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as codified in Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any other applicable law), as may be amended from time to time. The
Committee may also provide in an Award Agreement that (i) a Participant will forfeit any gain realized on the vesting or exercise of such Award if the Participant engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence, or (ii) a
Participant must repay the gain to the Company realized under a previously paid Award if the Participant engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence or a financial restatement

  
 15 

	 	
reduces the amount that would have been earned under such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the non-disclosure restrictions in this
Section 13(k) or in any Award Agreement shall, or shall be interpreted to, impair the Participant from exercising any legally protected whistleblower rights (including under Rule 21F under the Exchange Act).

reimbursement for, any compensation or profit realized on the exercise of the Option or by the disposition of Shares received upon exercise of the Option to the extent that the Company has a right of recovery or reimbursement under applicable
securities laws.

 6 

	17.	 Discretionary Nature and Acceptance of Award. By accepting this Award, you agree to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and acknowledge that: 

  

	 	a.	 The Company (and not your local employer) is granting your Option. Furthermore, this Agreement is not derived
from any preexisting labor relationship between you and the Company, but rather from a mercantile relationship. 

  

	 	b.	 The Company may administer the Plan from outside your country of residence and United States law will govern
all options granted under the Plan. 

  

	 	c.	 Benefits and rights provided under the Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Company, do
not constitute regular or periodic payments. 

  

	 	d.	 The benefits and rights provided under the Plan are not to be considered part of your salary or compensation
under your employment with your local employer for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy or other end of service payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term service awards, indemnification, pension or retirement benefits, or any
other payments, benefits or rights of any kind. You waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with your local employer for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result, or may result,
from the loss or diminution in value of such rights under the Plan or your ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under, the Plan as a result of such termination. 

 

	 	e.	 The grant of the Option hereunder, and any future grant of an option under the Plan, is entirely voluntary, and
at the complete discretion of the Company. Neither the grant of the Option nor any future grant by the Company will be deemed to create any obligation to make any future grants, whether or not such a reservation is explicitly stated at the time of
such a grant. The Company has the right, at any time and/or on an annual basis, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, or termination will adversely affect your rights hereunder.

  

	 	f.	 The Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be construed by you to constitute, part of the terms
and conditions of employment. Neither the Company nor your local employer will incur any liability of any kind to you as a result of any change or amendment, or any cancellation, of the Plan at any time. 

 

	 	g.	 Participation in the Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be deemed by you to constitute, an
employment or labor relationship of any kind with the Company. 

  

	18.	 Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan gives you any right to continue in the employ of the
Company or any of its Affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment at any time. Payment of Shares is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do
not have any 

  
 7 

	 	
interest in any fund or specific asset of the Company by reason of the Option. You have no rights as a shareowner of the Company pursuant to the Option until Shares are actually delivered you.

  

	19.	 Incorporation of Other Agreements. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding
between you and the Company regarding the Option. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Option. 

  

	20.	 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the
validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in duration, scope or covered activity, the provision will be construed so
as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law. 

  

	21.	 Governing Law. The Plan, this Agreement, and all determinations made and actions taken under the Plan or
this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law. 

 

	22.	 Acknowledgements and Acceptance. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to the following: (i) you
have carefully read, fully understand and agree to all of the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the Plan, the Plan’s prospectus and all accompanying documentation; and (ii) you understand and agree that this Agreement and
the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Option, and that any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the Option are replaced and superseded.
