Delegation of Authority by the Committee. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph IV or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may from time to time, in its sole
discretion, delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company the administration (or interpretation of any provision) of the Plan, and the right to grant Awards under the Plan, insofar as such administration (and interpretation) and power to
grant Awards relates to any person who is not subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act (including any successor section to the same or similar effect). Any such delegation may be effective only so long as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
is a Director, and the Committee may revoke such delegation at any time. The Committee may put any conditions and restrictions on the powers that may be exercised by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company upon such delegation as the Committee
determines in its sole discretion. In the event of any conflict in a determination or interpretation 

  

 -3- 

 
under the Plan as between the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the determination or interpretation, as applicable, of the Committee
shall be conclusive. 
 V. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; GRANT OF OPTIONS; 
 GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 
 (a) Shares Subject to
the Plan. Subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph IX with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Options then outstanding, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall
not exceed 22,000,000 shares; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares shall be reduced effective August 21, 2007, by the number of shares remaining subject to the Plan immediately prior to such date that are not then subject to
outstanding grants. Shares shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan only (i) to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an Award or (ii) to the extent an Award is settled in cash. To the extent that an Award lapses
or the rights of its Holder terminate, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award under the Plan. 
 (b) Grant of Options. The Committee may from time to time grant Options to one or more employees, Consultants, or Directors determined by it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in
accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
 (c) Grant of Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may from
time to time grant Restricted Stock Awards to one or more employees, Consultants, or Directors determined by it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
 (d) Stock Offered. Subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph V(a), the stock to be offered pursuant to the grant of
an Award may be authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by the Company. Any of such shares which remain unissued and which are not subject to outstanding Awards at the termination of the
Plan shall cease to be subject to the Plan but, until termination of the Plan, the Company shall at all times make available a sufficient number of shares to meet the requirements of the Plan. 
 VI. ELIGIBILITY 
 Awards may be granted only to persons who, at
the time of grant, are employees, Consultants, or Directors; provided, however, that Awards may not be granted to any Director who is not an employee. An Award may be granted on more than one occasion to the same person, and, subject to the
limitations set forth in the Plan, such Award may include an Option, a Restricted Stock Award, or any combination thereof. 
 VII. STOCK
OPTIONS 
 (a) Option Period. The term of each Option shall be as specified by the Committee at the date of
grant. 
  

 -4- 

 (b) Limitations on Exercise of Option. An Option shall be exercisable in
whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the Committee. 
 (c) Option Agreement. Each
Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in such form and containing such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee from time to time shall approve. Each Option Agreement shall specify the effect of
termination of (i) employment or (ii) the consulting or advisory relationship, as applicable, on the exercisability of the Option. An Option Agreement may provide for the payment of the option price, in whole or in part, by the delivery of
a number of shares of Common Stock (plus cash if necessary) having a Fair Market Value equal to such option price. Moreover, an Option Agreement may provide for a “cashless exercise” of the Option by establishing procedures satisfactory to
the Committee with respect thereto. Further, an Option Agreement may provide for the surrender of the right to purchase shares under the Option in return for a payment in cash or shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common
Stock equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares with respect to which the right to purchase is surrendered over the option price therefor (“Stock Appreciation Rights”), on such terms and conditions as the
Committee in its sole discretion may prescribe. The terms and conditions of the respective Option Agreements need not be identical. 
 (d) Option Price and Payment. The price at which a share of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee but, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph IX, such purchase
price of an Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted. The Option or portion thereof may be exercised by delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise to the Company, as
specified by the Committee. The purchase price of the Option or portion thereof shall be paid in full in the manner prescribed by the Committee. Options granted under the Plan shall not be treated as incentive stock options within the meaning of
section 422(b) of the Code. 
 (e) Stockholder Rights and Privileges. The Holder shall be entitled to all the
privileges and rights of a stockholder only with respect to such shares of Common Stock as have been purchased under the Option and for which certificates of stock have been registered in the Holder’s name. 
 (f) Options and Rights in Substitution for Stock Options Granted by Other Corporations. Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by individuals employed by corporations who become employees as a result of a merger or consolidation or other business combination of the employing
corporation with the Company or any subsidiary. 
 VIII. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 
 (a) Forfeiture Restrictions To Be Established by the Committee. Shares of Common Stock that are the subject of a Restricted
Stock Award shall be subject to restrictions on disposition by the Holder and an obligation of the Holder to forfeit and surrender the shares to the Company under certain circumstances (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). The Forfeiture
Restrictions shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and the Committee may provide that the 

  

 -5- 

 
Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse upon (i) the attainment of one or more performance targets established by the Committee, (ii) the Holder’s
continued employment with the Company or continued service as a Consultant for a specified period of time, (iii) the occurrence of any event or the satisfaction of any other condition specified by the Committee in its sole discretion, or
(iv) a combination of any of the foregoing. Each Restricted Stock Award may have different Forfeiture Restrictions, in the discretion of the Committee. 
 (b) Other Terms and Conditions. Common Stock awarded pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be represented by a stock certificate registered in the name of the Holder of such
Restricted Stock Award. The Holder shall have the right to receive dividends with respect to Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award, to vote Common Stock subject thereto and to enjoy all other stockholder rights, except that (i) the
Holder shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, (ii) the Company shall retain custody of the stock until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, (iii) the Holder may not
sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the stock until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, and (iv) a breach of the terms and conditions established by the Committee pursuant to the Restricted Stock
Agreement shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Award. At the time of such Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe additional terms, conditions or restrictions relating to Restricted Stock Awards, including, but not
limited to, rules pertaining to the termination of employment or service as a Consultant (by retirement, disability, death or otherwise) of a Holder prior to expiration of the Forfeiture Restrictions. Such additional terms, conditions or
restrictions shall be set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement made in conjunction with the Award. 
 (c) Payment for
Restricted Stock. The Committee shall determine the amount and form of any payment for Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, provided that in the absence of such a determination, a Holder shall not be required to
make any payment for Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, except to the extent otherwise required by law. 
 (d) Committee’s Discretion to Accelerate Vesting of Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion and as of a date determined by the Committee, fully vest any or all Common Stock awarded to a Holder
pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award and, upon such vesting, all restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award shall terminate as of such date. Any action by the Committee pursuant to this Subparagraph may vary among individual Holders and
may vary among the Restricted Stock Awards held by any individual Holder. 
 (e) Restricted Stock
Agreements. At the time any Award is made under this Paragraph VIII, the Company and the Holder shall enter into a Restricted Stock Agreement setting forth each of the matters contemplated hereby and such other matters as the
Committee may determine to be appropriate. The terms and provisions of the respective Restricted Stock Agreements need not be identical. 
 IX. RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION 
 (a) No Effect on Right or Power. The existence of the
Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the 

  

 -6- 

 
Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s or any subsidiary’s capital
structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary, any issue of debt or equity securities ahead of or affecting Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any subsidiary
or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding. 
 (b) Subdivision or Consolidation of Shares; Stock Dividends. The shares with respect to which Options may be granted are shares of Common Stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to
the expiration of an Option theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock or the payment of a stock dividend on Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of
shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Option may thereafter be exercised (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares shall be proportionately increased, and the purchase price per share shall be
proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares shall be proportionately reduced, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately increased. Any fractional share resulting from such
adjustment shall be rounded up to the next whole share. 
 (c) Recapitalizations and Corporate Changes. If the
Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its capital stock, or otherwise changes its capital structure (a “recapitalization”), the number and class of shares of Common Stock covered by an Option theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that
such Option shall thereafter cover the number and class of shares of stock and securities to which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to the recapitalization, the Holder had been
the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Option. If (i) the Company shall not be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity), (ii) the Company
sells, leases or exchanges or agrees to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity, (iii) the Company is to be dissolved and liquidated, (iv) any person or entity, including a
“group” as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act, acquires or gains ownership or control (including, without limitation, power to vote) of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock (based
upon voting power), or (v) as a result of or in connection with a contested election of Directors, the persons who were Directors of the Company before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board (each such event is referred
to herein as a “Corporate Change”), no later than (x) ten days after the approval by the stockholders of the Company of such merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale, lease or exchange of assets or dissolution or such election of
Directors or (y) thirty days after a Corporate Change of the type described in clause (iv), the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any Holder, shall effect one or more of the following alternatives,
which alternatives may vary among individual Holders and which may vary among Options held by any individual Holder: (1) accelerate the time at which Options then outstanding may be exercised so that such Options may be exercised in full for a
limited period of time on or before a specified date (before or after such Corporate Change) fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and all rights of Holders thereunder shall terminate, (2) require the
mandatory surrender to the Company by selected Holders of some or all of the outstanding Options held by such Holders (irrespective of whether such Options are then exercisable under the provisions of the Plan) as of a date, before or 

  

 -7- 

 
after such Corporate Change, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Options and cause the Company to pay to
each Holder an amount of cash per share equal to the excess, if any, of the amount calculated in Subparagraph (d) below (the “Change of Control Value”) of the shares subject to such Option over the exercise price(s) under such Options
for such shares, (3) make such adjustments to Options then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Corporate Change (provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is
necessary to Options then outstanding), or (4) provide that the number and class of shares of Common Stock covered by an Option theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Option shall thereafter cover the number and class of shares of
stock or other securities or property (including, without limitation, cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the agreement of merger, consolidation or sale of assets and dissolution if, immediately prior to such
merger, consolidation or sale of assets and dissolution, the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Option. 
 (d) Change of Control Value. For the purposes of clause (2) in Subparagraph (c) above, the “Change of Control Value” shall equal the amount determined in
clause (i), (ii) or (iii), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the per share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any such merger, consolidation, sale of assets or dissolution transaction, (ii) the price per share
offered to stockholders of the Company in any tender offer or exchange offer whereby a Corporate Change takes place, or (iii) if such Corporate Change occurs other than pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, the fair market value per share of
the shares into which such Options being surrendered are exercisable, as determined by the Committee as of the date determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Options. In the event that the consideration offered
to stockholders of the Company in any transaction described in this Subparagraph (d) or Subparagraph (c) above consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration
offered which is other than cash. 
 (e) Other Changes in the Common Stock. In the event of changes in
the outstanding Common Stock by reason of recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, split-ups, split-offs, spin-offs, exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization or distributions to the holders of Common
Stock occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Paragraph IX, such Award and any agreement evidencing such Award shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee at its discretion as to the number and
price of shares of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such Award. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Common Stock or distribution to the holders of Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan and
the maximum number of shares that may be subject to Awards granted to any one individual may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. 
 (f) Stockholder Action. Any adjustment provided for in the above Subparagraphs shall be subject to any required
stockholder action. 
 (g) No Adjustments unless Otherwise Provided. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided,
the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into 

  

 -8- 

 
shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share, if applicable. 
 X. AMENDMENT AND
TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
 The Board in its discretion may terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any shares of
Common Stock for which Awards have not theretofore been granted. The Board shall have the right to alter or amend the Plan or any part thereof from time to time; provided that no change in any Award theretofore granted may be made which would impair
the rights of the Holder without the consent of the Holder. 
 XI. MISCELLANEOUS 
 (a) No Right To An Award. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of the Board or of the Committee shall be deemed
to give an employee or Consultant any right to be granted an Option, a right to a Restricted Stock Award, or any other rights hereunder except as may be evidenced by an Option Agreement or a Restricted Stock Agreement duly executed on behalf of the
Company, and then only to the extent and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of funds or
assets to assure the performance of its obligations under any Award. 
 (b) No Employment Rights Conferred.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall (i) confer upon any employee or Consultant any right with respect to continuation of employment or of a consulting or advisory relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or (ii) interfere in any way
with the right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his or her employment or consulting or advisory relationship at any time. 
 (c) Other Laws; Withholding. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Stock pursuant to any Award granted under the Plan at any time when the shares covered by such Award have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such other state and federal laws, rules and regulations as the Company or the Committee deems applicable and, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, there is no exemption from
the registration requirements of such laws, rules and regulations available for the issuance and sale of such shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, nor shall any cash in lieu of fractional shares be paid. The Company shall
have the right to deduct in connection with all Awards any taxes required by law to be withheld and to require any payments required to enable it to satisfy its withholding obligations. 
 (d) No Restriction on Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any
subsidiary from taking any corporate action which is deemed by the Company or such subsidiary to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not 

  

 -9- 

 
such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No employee, Consultant, Director, beneficiary or other person shall
have any claim against the Company or any subsidiary as a result of any such action. 
 (e) Restrictions on
Transfer. An Award shall not be transferable otherwise than (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder, or (iii) with the consent of the Committee. 
 (f) Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

shall be requisite in the judgment of the Committee to cause designated Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any agreement relating to an Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry it into effect. The 

  

 - 3 - 

 
determinations of the Committee on the matters referred to in this Paragraph IV shall be conclusive. 
 (d) Delegation of Authority by the Committee. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph IV or any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may from time to time, in its sole discretion, delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company the administration (or interpretation of any provision) of the Plan, and the right to grant
Awards under the Plan, insofar as such administration (and interpretation) and power to grant Awards relates to any person who is not subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act (including any successor section to the same or similar effect). Any
such delegation may be effective only so long as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is a Director, and the Committee may revoke such delegation at any time. The Committee may put any conditions and restrictions on the powers that may be
exercised by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company upon such delegation as the Committee determines in its sole discretion. In the event of any conflict in a determination or interpretation under the Plan as between the Committee and the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, the determination or interpretation, as applicable, of the Committee shall be conclusive. 
 V. SHARES
SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; AWARD LIMITS; 
 GRANT OF AWARDS 
 (a) Shares Subject to the Plan and Award Limits. Subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph X with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Options then
outstanding, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares shall be reduced effective August 21, 2007, by the number of
shares remaining subject to the Plan immediately prior to such date that are not then subject to outstanding grants. Shares shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan only (i) to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an
Award or (ii) to the extent an Award denominated in shares of Common Stock is settled in cash. To the extent that an Award lapses or the rights of its holder terminate, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award shall again be available
for the grant of an Award under the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, (1) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards (other than Options) denominated in shares of Common Stock is
1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph X with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Options then outstanding), (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
subject to Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock granted to any one individual during the term of the Plan may not exceed 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph X with respect to
shares of Common Stock subject to Options then outstanding), and (3) the maximum amount of compensation that may be paid under all Performance Awards denominated in cash (including the Fair Market Value of any shares of Common Stock paid in
satisfaction of such Performance Awards) granted to any one individual during any calendar year may not exceed $5,000,000, and any payment due with respect to a Performance Award shall be paid no later than 10 years after the date of grant of such
Performance Award. The limitations set forth in clauses (2) and (3) of the preceding sentence shall be applied in a manner that will permit compensation generated under the Plan to constitute “performance-based” compensation for
purposes of section 162(m) 

  

 - 4 - 

 
of the Code, including, without limitation, counting against such maximum number of shares, to the extent required under section 162(m) of the Code and
applicable interpretive authority thereunder, any shares subject to Options that are canceled or repriced. 
 (b) Grant
of Awards. The Committee may from time to time grant Awards to one or more employees determined by it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
 (c) Stock Offered. Subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph V(a), the stock to be offered pursuant to the grant of
an Award may be authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by the Company. Any of such shares which remain unissued and which are not subject to outstanding Awards at the termination of the
Plan shall cease to be subject to the Plan but, until termination of the Plan, the Company shall at all times make available a sufficient number of shares to meet the requirements of the Plan. 
 VI. ELIGIBILITY 
 Awards may be granted only to persons who, at
the time of grant, are employees. An Award may be granted on more than one occasion to the same person, and, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, such Award may include an Incentive Stock Option, an Option that is not an Incentive Stock
Option, a Performance Award, a Phantom Stock Award, or any combination thereof. 
 VII. STOCK OPTIONS 
 (a) Option Period. The term of each Option shall be as specified by the Committee at the date of grant, but in no event
shall an Option be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant. 
 (b) Limitations on Exercise
of Option. An Option shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the Committee. 
 (c) Special Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to an individual who is employed by the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation (as defined in
section 424 of the Code) at the time the Option is granted. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the respective Incentive Stock Option is granted) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Options
which do not constitute Incentive Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations and other administrative pronouncements, which of a Participant’s Incentive Stock Options
will not constitute Incentive Stock Options because of such limitation and shall notify the Participant of such determination as soon as practicable after such determination. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an individual if, at the
time the Option is granted, such individual owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary 

  

 - 5 - 

 
corporation, within the meaning of section 422(b)(6) of the Code, unless (i) at the time such Option is granted the option price is at least 110% of the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option and (ii) such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. An Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable during the
Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 
 (d)
Option Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in such form and containing such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee from time to time shall approve, including, without
limitation, provisions to qualify an Incentive Stock Option under section 422 of the Code. Each Option Agreement shall specify the effect of termination of employment on the exercisability of the Option. An Option Agreement may provide for the
payment of the option price, in whole or in part, by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock (plus cash if necessary) having a Fair Market Value equal to such option price. Moreover, an Option Agreement may provide for a “cashless
exercise” of the Option by establishing procedures satisfactory to the Committee with respect thereto. Further, an Option Agreement may provide for the surrender of the right to purchase shares under the Option in return for a payment in cash
or shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares with respect to which the right to purchase is surrendered over the option price therefor (“Stock
Appreciation Rights”), on such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may prescribe. In the case of any such Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option, such right shall be
exercisable only when the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock exceeds the price specified therefor in the Option or the portion thereof to be surrendered. The terms and conditions of the respective Option Agreements need not be identical. Subject
to the consent of the Participant, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend an outstanding Option Agreement from time to time in any manner that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, an amendment
that accelerates the time at which the Option, or a portion thereof, may be exercisable). 
 (e) Option Price and
Payment. The price at which a share of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee but, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph X, such purchase price shall not be less than the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted. The Option or portion thereof may be exercised by delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise to the Company, as specified by the Committee. The purchase price of the
Option or portion thereof shall be paid in full in the manner prescribed by the Committee. Separate stock certificates shall be issued by the Company for those shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and for those
shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of any Option that does not constitute an Incentive Stock Option. 
 (f)
Restrictions on Repricing of Options. Except as provided in Paragraph X, the Committee may not, without approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend any outstanding Option Agreement to lower the option price (or cancel and
replace any outstanding Option Agreement with Option Agreements having a lower option price). 
  

 - 6 - 

 (g) Stockholder Rights and Privileges. The Participant shall be entitled to
all the privileges and rights of a stockholder only with respect to such shares of Common Stock as have been purchased under the Option and for which certificates of stock have been registered in the Participant’s name. 
 (h) Options and Rights in Substitution for Options Granted by Other Employers. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be
granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for options held by individuals providing services to corporations or other entities who become employees as a result of a merger or consolidation or other business transaction with the
Company or any Affiliate. 
 VIII. PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
 (a) Performance Period. The Committee shall establish, with respect to and at the time of each Performance Award, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to, or the maximum
value of, the Performance Award and the performance period over which the performance applicable to the Performance Award shall be measured. 
 (b) Performance Measures. A Performance Award shall be awarded to a Participant contingent upon future performance of the Company or any Affiliate, division, or department thereof during the performance
period. The Committee shall establish the performance measures applicable to such performance either (i) prior to the beginning of the performance period or (ii) within 90 days after the beginning of the performance period if the outcome
of the performance targets is substantially uncertain at the time such targets are established, but not later than the date that 25% of the performance period has elapsed; provided such measures may be made subject to adjustment for specified
significant extraordinary items or events. The performance measures may be absolute, relative to one or more other companies, or relative to one or more indexes. The performance measures established by the Committee may be based upon (1) the
price of a share of Common Stock, (2) the Company’s earnings per share, (3) the Company’s market share, (4) the market share of a business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (5) the Company’s sales,
(6) the sales of a business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (7) the maintenance revenue or deferred revenue of the Company or of a business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (8) the ratable license
revenue of the Company or of a business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (9) the linearity of sales or the percentage of sales of the Company, or of a business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, before a specified
time period in a quarter or fiscal year, (10) the return on capital employed by the Company, (11) the Company’s margin or the margin of a business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (12) the return on capital
employed by a business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (13) the net income (before or after taxes) of the Company or any business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (14) the cash flow of the Company or any
business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (15) the earnings before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization of the Company or any business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (16) the
economic value added, (17) the return on stockholders’ equity achieved by the Company, (18) the total stockholders’ return achieved by the Company, (19) the productivity of employees of the Company or of a business unit of
the Company designated by the Committee as measured by revenues, costs or earnings per employee, (20) the expenses or operating expenses 

  

 - 7 - 

 
of the Company or any business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, or (21) a combination of any of the foregoing. The Committee, in its
sole discretion, may provide for an adjustable Performance Award value based upon the level of achievement of performance measures. 
 (c) Awards Criteria. In determining the value of Performance Awards, the Committee shall take into account a Participant’s responsibility level, performance, potential, other Awards, and such other considerations as it
deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for a reduction in the value of a Participant’s Performance Award during the performance period. 
 (d) Payment. Following the end of the performance period, the holder of a Performance Award shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount not exceeding the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to, or the maximum value of, the Performance Award, based on the achievement of the performance measures for such performance period, as determined and certified in writing by the Committee. Payment of a Performance Award may be
made in cash, Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Payment shall be made in a lump sum or in installments as prescribed by the Committee. If a Performance Award covering shares of Common Stock is to be paid in
cash, such payment shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date. 
 (e) Termination
of Award. A Performance Award shall terminate if the Participant does not remain continuously in the employ of the Company and its Affiliates at all times during the applicable performance period, except as may be determined by the
Committee. 
 (f) Performance Award Agreements. At the time any Award is made under this Paragraph VIII, the
Company and the Participant shall enter into a Performance Award Agreement setting forth each of the matters contemplated hereby, and such additional matters as the Committee may determine to be appropriate. The terms and provisions of the
respective Performance Award Agreements need not be identical. 
 IX. PHANTOM STOCK AWARDS 
 (a) Phantom Stock Awards. Phantom Stock Awards are rights to receive shares of Common Stock (or the Fair Market Value
thereof), or rights to receive an amount equal to any appreciation or increase in the Fair Market Value of Common Stock over a specified period of time, which vest over a period of time as established by the Committee, without satisfaction of any
performance criteria or objectives. The Committee may, in its discretion, require payment or other conditions of the Participant respecting any Phantom Stock Award. 
 (b) Award Period. The Committee shall establish, with respect to and at the time of each Phantom Stock Award, a period over which the Award shall vest with respect to the
Participant. 
 (c) Awards Criteria. In determining the value of Phantom Stock Awards, the Committee shall take
into account a Participant’s responsibility level, performance, potential, other Awards, and such other considerations as it deems appropriate. 
  

 - 8 - 

 (d) Payment. Following the end of the vesting period for a Phantom Stock
Award (or at such other time as the applicable Phantom Stock Award Agreement may provide), the holder of a Phantom Stock Award shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount, not exceeding the maximum value of the Phantom Stock Award, based on
the then vested value of the Award. Payment of a Phantom Stock Award may be made in cash, Common Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Payment shall be made in a lump sum or in installments as prescribed by the Committee.
Any payment to be made in cash shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date. Cash dividend equivalents may be paid during or after the vesting period with respect to a Phantom Stock Award, as determined by the
Committee. 
 (e) Termination of Award. A Phantom Stock Award shall terminate if the Participant does not
remain continuously in the employ of the Company and its Affiliates at all times during the applicable vesting period, except as may be otherwise determined by the Committee. 
 (f) Phantom Stock Award Agreements. At the time any Award is made under this Paragraph IX, the Company and the Participant shall enter into a Phantom Stock Award Agreement setting
forth each of the matters contemplated hereby, and such additional matters as the Committee may determine to be appropriate. The terms and provisions of the respective Phantom Stock Award Agreements need not be identical. 
 X. RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION 
 (a) No Effect on Right or Power. The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or
authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s or any Affiliate’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, any issue of debt or equity
securities ahead of or affecting Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate
act or proceeding. 
 (b) Subdivision or Consolidation of Shares; Stock Dividends. The shares with respect to
which Awards may be granted are shares of Common Stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the expiration of an Award theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock or the
payment of a stock dividend on Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Award may thereafter be exercised or satisfied, as applicable (i) in the event of an
increase in the number of outstanding shares shall be proportionately increased, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares shall be
proportionately reduced, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately increased. Any fractional share resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded up to the next whole share. 
 (c) Recapitalizations and Corporate Changes. If the Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its capital stock, or otherwise
changes its capital structure (a “recapitalization”), the 

  

 - 9 - 

 
number and class of shares of Common Stock covered by an Award theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Award shall thereafter cover the number and
class of shares of stock and securities to which the Participant would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to the recapitalization, the Participant had been the holder of record of the number of
shares of Common Stock then covered by such Award. If (i) the Company shall not be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity), (ii) the Company sells, leases or exchanges or agrees
to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity, (iii) the Company is to be dissolved and liquidated, (iv) any person or entity, including a “group” as contemplated by
Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act, acquires or gains ownership or control (including, without limitation, power to vote) of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock (based upon voting power), or (v) as a
result of or in connection with a contested election of Directors, the persons who were Directors of the Company before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board (each such event is referred to herein as a “Corporate
Change”), no later than (x) 10 days after the approval by the stockholders of the Company of such merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale, lease or exchange of assets or dissolution or such election of Directors or (y) 30 days
after a Corporate Change of the type described in clause (iv), the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any Participant, shall effect one or more of the following alternatives, which alternatives may vary among
individual Participants and which may vary among Options held by any individual Participant: (1) accelerate the time at which Options then outstanding may be exercised so that such Options may be exercised in full for a limited period of time
on or before a specified date (before or after such Corporate Change) fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and all rights of Participants thereunder shall terminate, (2) require the mandatory surrender to
the Company by selected Participants of some or all of the outstanding Options held by such Participants (irrespective of whether such Options are then exercisable under the provisions of the Plan) as of a date, before or after such Corporate
Change, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Options and the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to each Participant an amount of cash per share equal to the excess, if any, of the amount
calculated in Subparagraph (d) below (the “Change of Control Value”) of the shares subject to such Option over the exercise price(s) under such Options for such shares, or (3) make such adjustments to Options then outstanding as
the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Corporate Change (provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Options then outstanding), including, without limitation, adjusting an
Option to provide that the number and class of shares of Common Stock covered by such Option shall be adjusted so that such Option shall thereafter cover securities of the surviving or acquiring corporation or other property (including, without
limitation, cash) as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 (d) Change of Control Value. For
the purposes of clause (2) in Subparagraph (c) above, the “Change of Control Value” shall equal the amount determined in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the per share price offered to
stockholders of the Company in any such merger, consolidation, sale of assets or dissolution transaction, (ii) the price per share offered to stockholders of the Company in any tender offer or exchange offer whereby a Corporate Change takes
place, or (iii) if such Corporate Change occurs other than pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, the fair market value per share of the shares into which such Options being surrendered are exercisable, as determined by the Committee as of the
date 

  

 - 10 - 

 
determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Options. In the event that the consideration offered to stockholders of the
Company in any transaction described in this Subparagraph (d) or Subparagraph (c) above consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered which is other
than cash. 
 (e) Other Changes in the Common Stock. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock by
reason of recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, split-ups, split-offs, spin-offs, exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization or distributions to the holders of Common Stock occurring after the date of
the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Paragraph X, such Award and any agreement evidencing such Award shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee at its sole discretion as to the number and price of shares of Common Stock
or other consideration subject to such Award. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Common Stock or distribution to the holders of Common Stock, or upon the occurrence of any other event described in this Paragraph X, the aggregate
number of shares available under the Plan, the maximum number of shares that may be subject to Performance Awards denominated in shares, and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to Awards granted to any one individual shall be
appropriately adjusted to the extent, if any, determined by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, upon the occurrence of a Corporate Change, the
Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any Participant, may require the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected Participants of some or all of the outstanding Performance Awards and Phantom Stock Awards as
of a date, before or after such Corporate Change, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Performance Awards and Phantom Stock Awards and the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to each Participant an
amount of cash equal to the maximum value of such Performance Award or Phantom Stock Award which, in the event the applicable performance or vesting period set forth in such Performance Award or Phantom Stock Award has not been completed, shall be
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the first day of the applicable performance or vesting period and ending on the date of the surrender, and the denominator of which is the
aggregate number of days in the applicable performance or vesting period. 
 (f) Stockholder Action. Any
adjustment provided for in the above Subparagraphs shall be subject to any required stockholder action. 
 (g) No
Adjustments unless Otherwise Provided. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services,
upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share, if applicable. 
  

 - 11 - 

 XI. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
 The Board in its discretion may terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any shares of Common Stock for which Awards have not
theretofore been granted. The Board shall have the right to alter or amend the Plan or any part thereof from time to time; provided that no change in the Plan may be made that would impair the rights of a Participant with respect to an Award
theretofore granted without the consent of the Participant, and provided, further, that the Board may not, without approval of the stockholders of the Company, (a) amend the Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be
issued under the Plan or change the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, or (b) amend or delete Paragraph VII(f). 
 XII. MISCELLANEOUS 
 (a) No Right To An Award. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action
of the Board or of the Committee shall be deemed to give any individual any right to be granted an Option, a right to a Performance Award or a right to a Phantom Stock Award, or any other rights hereunder except as may be evidenced by an Award
agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company, and then only to the extent and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to
make any other segregation of funds or assets to assure the performance of its obligations under any Award. 
 (b) No
Employment Rights Conferred. Nothing contained in the Plan shall (i) confer upon any employee any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Company or any Affiliate or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or any Affiliate to terminate his or her employment at any time. 
 (c) Other Laws; Withholding. The
Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Stock pursuant to any Award granted under the Plan at any time when the shares covered by such Award have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such other state and
federal laws, rules and regulations as the Company or the Committee deems applicable and, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, there is no exemption from the registration requirements of such laws, rules and regulations available for the
issuance and sale of such shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, nor shall any cash in lieu of fractional shares be paid. The Company shall have the right to deduct in connection with all Awards any taxes required by law to
be withheld and to require any payments required to enable it to satisfy its withholding obligations. 
 (d) No
Restriction on Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Affiliate from taking any action which is deemed by the Company or such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest,
whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Affiliate as a result of any such action. 

 

 - 12 - 

 (e) Restrictions on Transfer. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be
transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. An Award that does not constitute an Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable otherwise than (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
(ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder, or (iii) with the consent of the Committee. 
 (f) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas,
without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.
