 COMMSCOPE HOLDING COMPANY, INC. 

2013 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

ARTICLE 1 
 PURPOSE

 1.1. GENERAL. The purpose of the CommScope Holding Company, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to
promote the success, and enhance the value, of CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”), by linking the personal interests of employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or any Affiliate (as defined below) to those
of Company stockholders and by providing such persons with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of employees,
officers, directors and consultants upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely dependent. Accordingly, the Plan permits the grant of incentive awards from time to time to
selected employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates. 
 ARTICLE 2 

DEFINITIONS 
 2.1.
DEFINITIONS. When a word or phrase appears in this Plan with the initial letter capitalized, and the word or phrase does not commence a sentence, the word or phrase shall generally be given the meaning ascribed to it in this Section or in
Section 1.1 unless a clearly different meaning is required by the context. The following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company, as determined by the Committee.

Stock Units, Performance Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards, or any other right or interest relating to Stock or cash, granted to a Participant under the Plan. 

(c) “Award Certificate” means a written document, in such form as the Committee prescribes from time to time, setting
forth the terms and conditions of an Award. Award Certificates may be in the form of individual award agreements or certificates or a program document describing the terms and provisions of an Award or series of Awards under the Plan. The Committee
may provide for the use of electronic, internet or other non-paper Award Certificates, and the use of electronic, internet or other non-paper means for the acceptance thereof and actions thereunder by a Participant.

under the 1934 Act. 
 (e) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(f) “Cause” as a reason for a Participant’s termination of employment shall have the meaning assigned such term
in the employment, consulting, severance or similar agreement, if any, between such Participant and the Company or an Affiliate; provided, however, that if there is no such employment, consulting, severance or similar agreement in
which such term is defined, 

 
and unless otherwise defined in the applicable Award Certificate, “Cause” shall mean any of the following acts by the Participant, as determined by the Committee: (i) the
commission of any act by the Participant constituting financial dishonesty against the Company or any of its Affiliates (which act would be chargeable as a crime under applicable law); (ii) the Participant’s engaging in any other act of
dishonesty, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, moral turpitude, illegality or harassment which would: (A) materially adversely affect the business or the reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates with their respective then-current
or prospective customers, suppliers, lenders and/or other third parties with whom such entity does or might do business; or (B) expose the Company or any of its Affiliates to a risk of civil or criminal legal damages, liabilities or penalties;
(iii) the willful and repeated failure by the Participant to follow the lawful directives of the Board or the Participant’s supervisor; (iv) any material misconduct, material violation of the Company’s written policies, or
willful and deliberate non-performance of duty by the Participant in connection with the business affairs of the Company or any of its Affiliates; or (v) the Participant’s material breach of any employment, severance, non-competition,
non-solicitation, confidential information, or restrictive covenant agreement (including any Ownership of Work Product Acknowledgement), or similar agreement, with the Company or an Affiliate. The determination of the Committee as to the existence
of “Cause” shall be conclusive on the Participant and the Company. 
 (g) “Change in Control” means and
includes the occurrence of any one of the following events but shall specifically exclude a Public Offering:

director after the beginning of such 12-month period and whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board shall be an Incumbent Director; provided,
however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors (“Election Contest”) or other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any Person other than the Board (“Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest, shall be
deemed an Incumbent Director; or 
 (ii) any Person, other than a Principal Stockholder or an Underwriter, becomes a
Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of either (A) 35% or more of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) or (B) securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of directors (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (ii), the following
acquisitions of Company Common Stock or Company Voting Securities shall not constitute a Change in Control: (w) an acquisition directly (or indirectly through Underwriters) from the Company, (x) an acquisition by the Company or a
Subsidiary, (y) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (z) an acquisition pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in subsection

of the Company’s assets (a “Sale”) or the acquisition of assets or stock of another corporation or other entity (an “Acquisition”), unless immediately following such
Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition: (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the Beneficial Owners, respectively, of the outstanding Company Common Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior
to such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets or stock either directly or through one or more subsidiaries, the “Surviving Entity”) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Reorganization, Sale
or Acquisition, of the outstanding Company Common Stock and the outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (B) no person (other than (x) the Company or any Subsidiary, (y) the Surviving Entity or its ultimate
parent entity, or (z) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by any of the foregoing) is the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of 35% or more of the total common stock or 35% or more of the total voting
power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Entity, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Entity were Incumbent Directors at the time of the
Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition (any Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall
be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”); or 
 (iv) approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 (h) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended from time to time. For purposes of this Plan, references to sections of the Code shall be deemed to include references to any applicable regulations thereunder and any successor or similar provision.

(j) “Company” means CommScope Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor corporation. 

(k) “Continuous Service” means the absence of any interruption or termination of service as an employee, officer,
consultant or director of the Company or any Affiliate, as applicable; provided, however, that for purposes of an Incentive Stock Option “Continuous Service” means the absence of any interruption or termination of service as
an employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, as applicable, pursuant to applicable tax regulations. Continuous Service shall not be considered interrupted in the following cases: (i) a Participant transfers employment between the
Company and an Affiliate or between Affiliates, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the Company or any
Affiliate, or (iii) any leave of absence authorized in writing by the Company prior to its commencement; provided, however, that for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed 90 days, unless reemployment upon
expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so 

  
 - 6 - 

 
guaranteed, on the 91st day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of Continuous Service shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the
Committee shall be final and conclusive; provided, however, that for purposes of any Award that is subject to Code Section 409A, the determination of a leave of absence must comply with the requirements of a “bona fide leave
of absence” as provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h). 
 (l) “Deferred Stock Unit” means a right
granted to a Participant under Article 9 to receive Shares (or the equivalent value in cash or other property if the Committee so provides) at a future time as determined by the Committee, or as determined by the Participant within guidelines

 (m) “Disability” of a Participant
means that the Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of

whether a Participant is Disabled will be made by the Committee and may be supported by the advice of a physician competent in the area to which such Disability relates.

the bid and offered prices as quoted by the applicable interdealer quotation system for such date, provided that if the Stock is not quoted on an interdealer quotation system or it is determined that the fair market value is not properly reflected
by such quotations, Fair Market Value will be determined by such other method as the Committee determines in good faith to be reasonable and in compliance with Code Section 409A. 

(s) “Full-Value Award” means an Award other than in the form of an Option or SAR, and which is settled by the
issuance of Stock (or at the discretion of the Committee, settled in cash valued by reference to Stock value). 
 (t)

provided, however, 

  
 - 7 - 

 
that if there is no such employment, consulting, severance or similar agreement in which such term is defined, “Good Reason” shall have the meaning, if any, given such term in the
applicable Award Certificate. If not defined in either such document, the term “Good Reason” as used herein shall not apply to a particular Award. 

(u) “Grant Date” of an Award means the first date on which all necessary corporate action has been taken to approve

an Award under the Plan; provided that in the case of the death of a Participant, the term “Participant” refers to a beneficiary designated pursuant to Section 13.4 or the legal guardian or other legal representative acting in a

ADMINISTRATION 
 4.1.
COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board (which Committee shall consist of at least two directors) or, at the discretion of the Board from time to time, the Plan may be administered by the Board. Any
director appointed to serve on the Committee who is not an Independent Director shall abstain from participating in any decision to make or administer Awards that are made to Eligible Participants who at the time of consideration for such Award are
persons subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the 1934 Act. However, the mere fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as an Independent Director or shall fail to abstain from such action shall not invalidate any
Award made by the Committee which Award is otherwise validly made under the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and may be changed at any time and from time to time in the discretion of, the Board. Unless and until changed by
the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board is designated as the Committee to administer the Plan. The Board may reserve to itself any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee under the Plan or may act as administrator of
the Plan for any and all purposes. To the extent the Board has reserved any authority and responsibility or during any time that the Board is acting as administrator of the Plan, it shall have all the powers and protections of the Committee
hereunder, and any reference herein to the Committee (other than in this Section 4.1) shall include the Board. To the extent any action of the Board under the Plan conflicts with actions taken by the Committee, the actions of the Board shall
control. 
 4.2. ACTION AND INTERPRETATIONS BY THE COMMITTEE. For purposes of administering the Plan, the Committee may from time to
time adopt rules, regulations, guidelines and procedures for carrying out the provisions and purposes of the Plan and make such other determinations, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee may correct
any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent it deems necessary to carry out the intent of the Plan. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted
under the Plan, any Award Certificate and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by applicable law. Each member
of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Affiliate, the Company’s or an Affiliate’s independent
certified public accountants, Company counsel or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. No member of the Committee will be liable for any good faith
determination, act or omission in connection with the Plan or any Award. 
 4.3. AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE. Except as provided in
Section 4.1 hereof, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to: 
 (a) grant Awards; 

(b) designate Participants; 

  
 - 10 - 

 (c) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant; 

(d) determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of Shares or dollar amount to which an Award will relate;

(f) prescribe the form of each Award Certificate, which need not be identical for each Participant;

administer the Plan; 
 (i) make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the Plan or as the
Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan; 
 (j) amend the Plan or any Award Certificate as provided
herein; and 
 (k) adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with
provisions of the laws of the United States or any non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company or any Affiliate may operate, in order to assure the viability of the benefits of Awards granted to participants located in the United States or such
other jurisdictions and to further the objectives of the Plan. 
 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, grants of Awards to Non-Employee
Directors hereunder shall (i) be subject to the applicable award limits set forth in Section 5.1 hereof, and (ii) be made only in accordance with the terms, conditions and parameters of a plan, program or policy for the compensation
of Non-Employee Directors as in effect from time to time that is approved and administered by the Board or the Committee. The Committee may not make other discretionary grants hereunder to Non-Employee Directors. 

4.4. DELEGATION. The Committee may, by resolution, expressly delegate to a special committee, consisting of one or more directors who
may but need not be officers of the Company, the authority, within specified parameters as to the number and terms of Awards, to (i) designate officers and/or employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates to be recipients of Awards under
the Plan, and (ii) to determine the number of such Awards to be received by any such Participants; provided, however, that such delegation of duties and responsibilities to an officer of the Company may not be made with respect to
the grant of Awards to eligible participants who are subject to Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act at the Grant Date. The acts of such delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and such delegates shall report regularly to the
Committee regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities and any Awards so granted. 
 4.5. INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who is
or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with this Article 4 shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost,
liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any
action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and 

  
 - 11 - 

 
from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding
against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or
expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the
Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, or Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them
or hold them harmless.

(e) To the extent that the full number of Shares subject to an Option or SAR is not issued upon exercise of the Option or SAR
for any reason, including by reason of net-settlement of the Award, the unissued Shares originally subject to the Award will be added back to the Plan share reserve and again be available for issuance pursuant to other Awards granted under the Plan.

 (f) To the extent that the full number of Shares subject to an Award other than an Option or SAR is not issued for any

Value of the Shares underlying the Option is lower than the exercise price per share of the Option 
 (c) TIME AND

whole or in part. Except for SARs granted to Participants outside the United States, no SAR shall be exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant Date.

shall be reflected in the Award Certificate. 
 ARTICLE 9 

RESTRICTED STOCK, RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

AND DEFERRED STOCK UNITS 

9.1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK, RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND DEFERRED STOCK UNITS. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. An Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock
Units shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate setting forth the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to the Award. 
 9.2.
ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, for example, limitations on
the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of
performance goals or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Certificate or any special Plan document governing an Award, a Participant shall have none of
the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units until such time as Shares of Stock are paid in settlement of such Awards. 

9.3 DIVIDENDS ON RESTRICTED STOCK. In the case of Restricted Stock, the Committee may provide that ordinary cash dividends declared on
the Shares before they are vested (i) will be forfeited, (ii) will be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested (subject to Share availability under Section 5.1 hereof), or (iii) in the case of
Restricted Stock that is not subject to performance-based vesting, will be paid or distributed to the Participant as accrued (in which case, such dividends must be paid or distributed no later than the
15th day of the 3rd month following the later of (A) the calendar year in which the corresponding dividends were paid to stockholders, or
(B) the first calendar year in which the Participant’s right to such dividends is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). 

9.4. FORFEITURE. Subject to the terms of the Award Certificate and except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the
grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of Continuous Service during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that
are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited. 

  
 - 15 - 

 9.5. DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the
Participant at the Grant Date either by book-entry registration or by delivering to the Participant, or a custodian or escrow agent (including, without limitation, the Company or one or more of its employees) designated by the Committee, a stock
certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Participant. If physical certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the
terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. 
 ARTICLE 10 

PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
 10.1.
GRANT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. The Committee is authorized to grant any Award under this Plan, including cash-based Awards, with performance-based vesting criteria, on such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. Any such
Awards with performance-based vesting criteria are referred to herein as Performance Awards. The Committee shall have the complete discretion to determine the number of Performance Awards granted to each Participant and to designate the provisions
of such Performance Awards as provided in Section 4.3. All Performance Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate or a written program established by the Committee, pursuant to which Performance Awards are awarded under the Plan under
uniform terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in such written program. 
 10.2. PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Committee may establish
performance goals for Performance Awards which may be based on any criteria selected by the Committee. Such performance goals may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of the
Participant, an Affiliate or a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner
in which the Company or an Affiliate conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render performance goals to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance goals in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. If a
Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit or function during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the performance goals or performance period are no longer appropriate and may (i) adjust,
change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable performance period as it deems appropriate to make such goals and period comparable to the initial goals and period, or (ii) make a cash payment to the participant in an amount
determined by the Committee, which for Options or SARs may include payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying stock, as of the date of such promotion, demotion or transfer, over the exercise or base price of the Award.

 ARTICLE 11 

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 

11.1. GRANT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents with respect to Full-Value Awards
granted hereunder, subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall entitle the Participant to receive payments equal to ordinary cash dividends or distributions with respect to all or a portion of
the number of Shares subject to a Full-Value Award, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents (i) will be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested, or (ii) except
in the case of Performance Awards, will be paid or distributed to the Participant as accrued (in which case, such Dividend Equivalents must be paid or distributed no later than the 15th day of the
3rd month following the later of (A) the calendar year in which the corresponding dividends were paid to stockholders, or (B) the first calendar year in which the Participant’s
right to such Dividends Equivalents is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). 

  
 - 16 - 

 ARTICLE 12 

STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS 

12.1. GRANT OF STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to
Participants such other Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including without limitation
Shares awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, and Awards valued by reference to book value per Share
(or net asset value per Share) or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Parents or Subsidiaries. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. 

ARTICLE 13 
 PROVISIONS
APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
 13.1. AWARD CERTIFICATES. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate. Each Award Certificate
shall include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be specified by the Committee. 
 13.2. FORM OF PAYMENT FOR
AWARDS. At the discretion of the Committee, payment of Awards may be made in cash, Stock, a combination of cash and Stock, or any other form of property as the Committee shall determine. In addition, payment of Awards may include such terms,
conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, as the Committee deems appropriate, including, in the case of Awards paid in the form of Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. Further, payment of Awards may be made in the
form of a lump sum, or in installments, as determined by the Committee. 
 13.3. LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a
Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any
other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the
Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers (other than transfers for value) where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Code Section 422(b), and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws
applicable to transferable Awards. 
 13.4. BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 13.3, a Participant may, in the manner
determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other
person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Certificate applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Certificate otherwise provide, and to any additional
restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, any payment due to the Participant shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a
beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant, in the manner provided by the Company, at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 

  
 - 17 - 

 13.5. STOCK TRADING RESTRICTIONS. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any Exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is
listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. 

13.6. ACCELERATION UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate or any special Plan document
governing an Award, upon the termination of a person’s Continuous Service by reason of death or Disability: 
 (i) each
of that Participant’s outstanding Options and SARs, or the portions of such outstanding Options and SARs, as applicable, that are solely subject to time-based vesting requirements shall become vested and fully exercisable as of the date of
termination; 
 (ii) each of that Participant’s other outstanding Awards, or the portions of such other outstanding
Awards, as applicable, that are solely subject to time-based vesting restrictions shall become vested, and such restrictions shall lapse as of the date of termination; and 

(iii) each of that Participant’s outstanding Options, SARs and other Awards, or the portions of such outstanding Options,
SARs and other Awards, as applicable, that are solely subject to performance-vesting requirements or restrictions (the “Performance-Vesting Awards”) shall be prorated by multiplying the number of shares or units underlying such
Performance-Vesting Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the commencement of the applicable performance period through the date of termination, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such
performance period (each a “Prorated Portion”). The Prorated Portion shall not expire on account of the Participant’s termination and shall remain eligible to vest based upon actual performance over the applicable performance period,
as provided in the Award Certificate or other special Plan document governing the Award. The remainder of each Performance-Vesting Award (the non-Prorated Portion) shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of termination. 

To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the
excess Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options. 
 13.7. EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL. The provisions of this
Section 13.7 shall apply in the case of a Change in Control, unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate or any special Plan document or separate agreement with a Participant governing an Award. 

(a) Awards Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity. With respect to Awards assumed by the Surviving Entity or
otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control: if within two years after the effective date of the Change in Control, a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or the Participant resigns for
Good Reason, then (i) all of that Participant’s outstanding Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, (ii) all time-based vesting restrictions on his or her
outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (iii) the payout level under all of that Participant’s performance-based Awards that were outstanding immediately prior to effective time of the Change in Control shall be determined and deemed to have
been earned as of the date of termination based upon (A) an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the 

  
 - 18 - 

 
“target” level if the date of termination occurs during the first half of the applicable performance period, or (B) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance
goals against target (measured as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of termination), if the date of termination occurs during the second half of the applicable performance period, and, in either such case, there shall
be a prorata payout to such Participant within sixty (60) days following the date of termination of employment (unless a later date is required by Section 16.3 hereof), based upon the length of time within the performance period that has
elapsed prior to the date of termination of employment. With regard to each Award, a Participant shall not be considered to have resigned for Good Reason unless either (i) the Award Certificate includes such provision or (ii) the
Participant is party to an employment, severance or similar agreement with the Company or an Affiliate that includes provisions in which the Participant is permitted to resign for Good Reason. Any Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in
accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to
be Nonstatutory Stock Options. 
 (b) Awards not Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity. Upon the occurrence of a
Change in Control, and except with respect to any Awards assumed by the Surviving Entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board:
(i) outstanding Options, SARs, and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, (ii) time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (iii) the target payout
opportunities attainable under outstanding performance-based Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the effective date of the Change in Control based upon (A) an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the
“target” level if the Change in Control occurs during the first half of the applicable performance period, or (B) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target measured as of the date of the Change
in Control, if the Change in Control occurs during the second half of the applicable performance period, and, in either such case, subject to Section 16.3, there shall be a prorata payout to Participants within sixty (60) days following
the Change in Control (unless a later date is required by Section 16.3 hereof), based upon the length of time within the performance period that has elapsed prior to the Change in Control. Any Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in
accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to
be Nonstatutory Stock Options. 
 13.8. ACCELERATION FOR ANY OTHER REASON. Regardless of whether an event has occurred
as described in Section 13.6 or 13.7 above, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that all or a portion of a Participant’s Options, SARs, and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become
fully or partially exercisable, that all or a part of the time-based vesting restrictions on all or a portion of the outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or that any performance-based criteria with respect to any Awards shall be deemed to be wholly
or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this
Section 13.8. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan, including this Section 13.8, the Committee may not accelerate the payment of any Award if such acceleration would violate Section 409A(a)(3) of the Code. 

13.9. FORFEITURE EVENTS. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to any compensation recoupment policy that the Company may adopt from
time to time that is applicable by its terms to the Participant. In addition, the Committee may specify in an Award Certificate that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction,
cancellation, forfeiture or 

  
 - 19 - 

 
recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be
limited to, (i) termination of employment for cause, (ii) violation of material Company or Affiliate policies, (iii) breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant,
(iv) other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Affiliate, or (v) a later determination that the vesting of, or amount realized from, a Performance Award was based on materially
inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, whether or not the Participant caused or contributed to such material inaccuracy. 

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

ARTICLE 14 
 CHANGES IN
CAPITAL STRUCTURE 
 14.1. MANDATORY ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a nonreciprocal transaction between the Company and its
stockholders that causes the per-share value of the Stock to change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the Committee shall make such adjustments to the
Plan and Awards as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from such transaction. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares that
may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit
payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not make any adjustments to outstanding Options or SARs that would constitute a modification
or substitution of the stock right under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v) that would be treated as the grant of a new stock right or change in the form of payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Without limiting the foregoing, in
the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, the authorization limits under
Section 5.1 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically, without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted proportionately without any change in the
aggregate purchase price therefor. 
 14.2 DISCRETIONARY ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any corporate event
or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, or any transaction described in Section 14.1), the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and non-forfeitable and exercisable (in whole or in part) and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent
not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash
or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction (or the per-shares transaction price), over the exercise or base price of the Award, (v) that
performance targets and performance periods for Performance Awards will be modified, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not
such Participants are similarly situated. 

  
 - 20 - 

 14.3 GENERAL. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to this Article 14 shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 15.2. To the extent that any adjustments made pursuant to this Article 14 cause Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock
Options. 
 ARTICLE 15 

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 

15.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or
terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, would constitute a material change requiring stockholder approval
under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of an Exchange, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board or Committee may
condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason, including by reason of such approval being necessary or deemed advisable (i) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an
Exchange, or (ii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. Except for any mandatory adjustments to the Plan and Awards contemplated by Section 14.1, without the prior approval of the
stockholders of the Company, the Plan may not be amended to permit: (i) the exercise price or base price of an Option or SAR to be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) an Option or SAR to be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards,
or Options or SARs with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original Option or SAR, or otherwise, or (iii) the Company to repurchase an Option or SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a
Participant if the current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option or SAR is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the Option or SAR. 

15.2. AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award
without approval of the Participant; provided, however: 
 (a) Subject to the terms of the applicable Award
Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date
of such amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option or SAR for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise or base price of such
Award); 
 (b) The original term of an Option or SAR may not be extended without the prior approval of the stockholders of
the Company; 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article 14, without the prior approval of the stockholders of the
Company: (i) the exercise price or base price of an Option or SAR may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) an Option or SAR may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options or SARs with an exercise or base price
that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original Option or SAR, or otherwise, and (iii) the Company may not repurchase an Option or SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a Participant if the current Fair Market Value of
the Shares underlying the Option or SAR is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the Option or SAR; and 

  
 - 21 - 

 (d) No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect
any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. An outstanding Award shall not be deemed to be “adversely affected” by a Plan amendment if such amendment would not reduce or
diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment (with the per-share value of an Option or SAR for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if
any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment over the exercise or base price of such Award). 
 15.3. COMPLIANCE
AMENDMENTS. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or an Award Certificate, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of
conforming the Plan or Award Certificate to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code), and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated
thereunder. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 15.3 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action. 

ARTICLE 16 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 16.1. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS. 

(a) No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the
Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible
to receive, Awards (whether or not such Eligible Participants are similarly situated). 
 (b) Nothing in the Plan, any Award
Certificate or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, or any
Participant’s service as a director, at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, or director of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a Participant’s Award or otherwise.

 (c) Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company or
any Affiliate and, accordingly, subject to Article 15, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company or any of
its Affiliates. 
 (d) No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares
are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 
 16.2. WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the
authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to
be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. The obligations of the Company under the Plan will be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Company or such
Affiliate will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to 

  
 - 22 - 

 
deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, any such
withholding requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax
purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. All such elections shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

16.3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. 

(a) General. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan and any Award shall either be exempt
from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in a manner that effects such intent. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under
the Plan or any Award is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers (other than in his or her capacity as a Participant) shall be held liable for any taxes,
interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any Participant or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan or any Award. 

(b) Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, to the
extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable, or a
different form of payment (e.g., lump sum or installment) of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would be effected, under the Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control, or the Participant’s Disability or
separation from service, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to the Participant, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise
to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet any description or definition of “change in control event”, “disability” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, in Section 409A of
the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not affect the dollar amount or prohibit the vesting of any Award upon a Change in
Control, Disability or separation from service, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount or benefit, or the application of a different form of payment of any amount or benefit, such payment or
distribution shall be made at the time and in the form that would have applied absent the non-409A-conforming event. 
 (c)
Allocation among Possible Exemptions. If any one or more Awards granted under the Plan to a Participant could qualify for any separation pay exemption described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9), but such Awards in the aggregate
exceed the dollar limit permitted for the separation pay exemptions, the Company (acting through the CEO or the Committee, in the case of executive officers and directors, or the Head of Human Resources, in the case of Participants other than
executive officers and directors) shall determine which Awards or portions thereof will be subject to such exemptions. 

  
 - 23 - 

 (d) Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in
the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of a
Participant’s separation from service during a period in which the Participant is a Specified Employee, then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Committee under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic
relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes): 
 (i) the amount of such
Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month
following the Participant’s separation from service (or, if the Participant dies during such period, within 30 days after the Participant’s death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and 

(ii) the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the
Required Delay Period. 
 (e) Installment Payments. If, pursuant to an Award, a Participant is entitled to a series of
installment payments, such Participant’s right to the series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not to a single payment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “series of
installment payments” has the meaning provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) (or any successor thereto). 

(f) Timing of Release of Claims. Whenever an Award conditions a payment or benefit on the Participant’s execution
and non-revocation of a release of claims, such release must be executed and all revocation periods shall have expired within 60 days after the date of termination of the Participant’s employment; failing which such payment or benefit shall be
forfeited. If such payment or benefit is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the Company may elect to make or commence payment at any time during such 60-day period. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation,
then, subject to subsection (d) above, (i) if such 60-day period begins and ends in a single calendar year, the Company may make or commence payment at any time during such period at its discretion, and (ii) if such 60-day period
begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the payment shall be made or commence during the second such calendar year (or any later date specified for such payment under the applicable Award), even if such signing and
non-revocation of the release occur during the first such calendar year included within such 60-day period. In other words, a Participant is not permitted to influence the calendar year of payment based on the timing of signing the release. 

(g) Permitted Acceleration. The Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution permissible
under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to Participants of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution(s) meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). 

16.4. UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With
respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any
Affiliate. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of grantor trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments in lieu of Shares or with respect to Awards. This Plan
is not intended to be subject to ERISA. 
 16.5. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into
account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such 

  
 - 24 - 

 
other plan. Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and
such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
 16.6. EXPENSES. The expenses of
administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. 
 16.7. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the
Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 

16.8. GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the
feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 16.9. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional
Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down. 

16.10. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any
period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made
(i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set
forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the
Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory
body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such
registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations
and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for
Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee’s determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or
to take any other action in order to cause the issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement. 

16.11. GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 16.12. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Plan is found
to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not be 

  
 - 25 - 

 
construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein as invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions will be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the
invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein. 
 16.13. NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The grant of any Award
shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to draft or assume awards, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer
Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award granted to such
Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

as provided in Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 hereof. 
 5.2. ESTABLISHMENT OF TARGET AWARDS. Each Participant shall have a target award,
reflected as a specified amount or a percentage of his or her Base Salary, that will be awarded to the Participant for the designated Plan Year if the established Performance Objectives are achieved at the target level (the “Target
Award”). Before the 90th day of each Plan Year, (i) the Committee shall approve the Target Award for each Participant that is a Section 16 Officer, (ii) the CEO shall approve
the Target Award for all Participants other than Section 16 Officers, and (iii) the Committee shall approve the aggregate cost of Target Awards for all Participants other than Section 16 Officers. Each Participant’s Target Award
percentage will be communicated in writing to the Participant upon such Participant’s initial participation in the Plan, and shall remain in effect until any change thereto is communicated to the Participant in writing. The actual Annual
Incentive Award to a Participant may be greater or less than his or her Target Award, depending on the level of achievement of applicable Performance Objectives and such other objective or subjective factors as the Committee with respect to
Section 16 Officers or the CEO with respect to individuals who are not Section 16 Officers, as applicable, shall deem relevant.

 5.3. COMPANY PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES. Before the 90th day of each Plan Year, (i) the Committee shall approve Company Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for the Section 16 Officers, and (ii) the CEO shall approve Company
Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for other Participants. The Company Performance Objectives will be communicated in writing to the Participants. In establishing Company Performance Objectives, the Committee or the CEO, as applicable, may
take into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, prior year results, planned business results, anticipated business trends, performance relative to peer companies and macroeconomic conditions. 

5.4. INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES. Before the 90th day of each Plan Year,
(i) the Committee shall approve any Individual Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for the Section 16 Officers, and (ii) the CEO shall approve Individual Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for other Participants. Any such
Individual Performance Objectives will be communicated in writing to the Participants. In addition, whether or not written Individual Performance Objectives are established for a Plan Year, the Committee with respect to Section 16 Officers or
the CEO with respect to individuals who are not Section 16 Officers, as applicable, reserves the right to increase or decrease a Participant’s Annual Incentive Award based on a subjective assessment of the Participant’s overall
performance during the Plan Year. 
 5.5. PAYOUT FORM AND TIMING. Annual Incentive Awards will be paid in a lump sum in cash as soon
as administratively practicable after the Committee or the CEO (in the case of Participants that are not Section 16 Officers) determines whether and to what extent Performance Objectives were achieved, but no later than March 15 following
the end of the Plan Year for which the Annual Incentive Awards, if any, were earned; provided that any Annual Incentive Award which is properly deferred by a Participant under a deferred compensation plan or arrangement adopted or approved by the
Company shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of such deferral. 
 5.6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Unless otherwise
determined by (i) the Committee in its discretion or (ii) the CEO in his or her discretion with respect to a Participant who is not a Section 16 Officer, and subject to any contrary provision in an individual employment, key position,
severance or similar agreement with a Participant, a Participant must be actively employed and in good standing or on approved leave of absence as of the date of payment in order to be eligible to receive an Annual Incentive Award for such Plan
Year, and a Participant whose employment terminates for any reason prior to the date of payment shall forfeit his or her right to receive an Annual Incentive Award for such Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 4.4, the
Committee or the CEO (with respect to individuals who are not Section 16 Officers) may determine, in their discretion and on a case-by-case basis, that a Participant whose employment is terminated on account of death, Disability or Retirement
shall remain eligible to receive a portion of his or her Annual Incentive Award, based on actual achievement of applicable Performance Objectives and prorated based on the number of days that the Participant was actively employed and performed
services during the applicable performance period. Any amounts paid on behalf of a deceased Participant will be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary. 

5.7. CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event a Change in Control occurs during a Plan Year, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a pro
rata portion of the Target Award amounts for that Plan Year (based on the number of days in the Plan Year preceding the Change in Control, divided by 365) shall be deemed earned, notwithstanding the level of achievement of Performance Objectives.
Such prorata Target Awards shall be paid to Participants no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Change in Control and, unless other determined by the Company in its sole discretion, such payments shall be in full
satisfaction of any awards under the Plan for such Plan Year and no additional amounts shall be payable to Participants under the Plan with respect to such Plan Year.

 ARTICLE 6 

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 

6.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate this
Plan. The Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company if such approval is necessary or deemed advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. 

6.2. TERMINATION DURING PLAN YEAR. Termination or amendment of this Plan during a Plan Year may be retroactive to the beginning of the
Plan Year, at the discretion of the Committee. If a Change in Control occurs, no amendment or termination may adversely affect amounts payable to a Participant without the consent of the Participant. 

ARTICLE 7 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 7.1. NO RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. No employee shall have any right to be selected to participate in this Plan. 

7.2. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to
terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate. 

7.3. WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant
to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. 

7.4. FUNDING. Benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant or to a beneficiary will be paid by the Company from its general
assets. The Company is not required to segregate on its books or otherwise establish any funding procedure for any amount to be used for the payment of benefits under this Plan. The Company may, however, in its sole discretion, set funds aside in
investments to meet its anticipated obligations under this Plan. Any such action or set-aside may not be deemed to create a trust of any kind between the Company and any Participant or beneficiary or to constitute the funding of any Plan benefits.
Consequently, any person entitled to a payment under this Plan will have no rights greater than the rights of any other unsecured creditor of the Company. 

7.5. EXPENSES. The expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

7.6. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in this Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event
of any conflict, the text of this Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
