Performance Objectives are intended to measure individual goals and competencies and to motivate and reward outstanding individual performance.

ELIGIBILITY 
 4.1.
DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS. Before the 90th day of each Plan Year, the Committee shall review and approve (individually, in the case of Section 16 Officers, or by group, in the case
of other Participants) the Participants and their Target Awards for that Plan Year. Inclusion as a Participant in the Plan in any Plan Year does not guarantee that such Participant will receive any amount in payment of an Annual Incentive Award.

 4.2. PARTIAL YEAR PARTICIPATION. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the CEO (with respect to individuals who are not
Section 16 Officers) (i) if a Participant begins employment or is promoted to an eligible position after the beginning of a Plan Year but before October 1 of such Plan Year, such Participant will be eligible to receive an Annual

participate in this Plan and if so, the terms of such participation pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 5 

OPERATION OF THE PLAN 

5.1. PLAN STRUCTURE. Subject to the terms and conditions described herein, each Participant shall be eligible to receive an Annual
Incentive Award for the Plan Year if certain Performance Objectives are met or exceeded by the Company and, if applicable, the Participant. Each Plan Year, Performance Objectives and their respective weightings and Target Awards shall be established
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. 

  
 6 

 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.

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

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.

Date shall receive a pro rata amount of the Initial Stock Grant to reflect the actual number of months remaining between the date such person first becomes an Eligible Participant and the next anniversary of the Effective Date. In addition to the
Initial Stock Grant, subject to share availability under the LTIP, each Eligible Participant in service on the Effective Date or an anniversary of the Effective Date will receive an award of Restricted Stock Units (“Annual Stock Grant” and
collectively with the Initial Stock Grant, the “Stock Grants”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Eligible Participant who first becomes an Eligible Participant on the Effective Date or an anniversary of the Effective Date will not
receive the Initial Stock Grant (but will receive the Annual Stock Grant). The Stock Grants shall have the following terms and conditions: 

(a) Number of Initial Stock Grants. The number of shares in the Initial Stock Grant to an Eligible Participant shall be
determined by multiplying the Proration Factor (as defined below) by the amount determined by (A) dividing the Annual Stock Retainer as in effect for that Plan Year, by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date, and (B) rounding
to the nearest whole number. The Proration Factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months between the Grant Date and the next anniversary of the Effective Date, and the denominator of which is 12. 

(b) Number of Annual Stock Grants. The number of shares in the Annual Stock Grant to an Eligible Participant shall be
determined by (A) dividing the Annual Stock Retainer as in effect for that Plan Year, by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date, and (B) rounding to the nearest whole number. 

(c) Vesting. The Stock Grants shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the Non-Employee
Director’s Continuous Service on each vesting date. 
 (d) Other Plan Conditions. To the extent not specified
herein, the Stock Grants shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP. 
 6.2. ADJUSTMENTS. For the avoidance of
doubt, the adjustment provisions of the LTIP (along with all of the other provisions of the LTIP) shall apply with respect to all Equity Awards granted pursuant to this Plan. 

6.3. AWARD AGREEMENTS. All Equity Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate, which shall
include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan or the LTIP, as may be specified by the Committee. 

 ARTICLE 7 

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 

7.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. 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 Committee, require stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or
other requirements of a securities exchange on which the Stock is listed or traded, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided further, that the Committee may condition any other amendment or modification on the
approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason. Modification of Equity Awards granted under this Plan shall be subject to the provisions of the LTIP. 

ARTICLE 8 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 8.1. DURATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by the Board or the Committee or
the earlier termination or expiration of the LTIP, including any successor plans. 
 8.2. EXPENSES OF THE PLAN. The expenses
of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
