Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee or the committee designated pursuant to Section 3.2, shall have full
and final authority to: 
  

	 	(i)	designate Grantees; 

  

	 	(ii)	determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to an Award; 

  
 5

forfeiture of an Award or the shares of Stock subject thereto; 

  

	 	(iv)	prescribe the form of each Award Agreement evidencing an Award; and 

  

	 	(v)	subject to the limitation on repricing in Section 3.5, amend, modify or supplement the terms of any outstanding Award, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment,
modification or supplement of the terms of any outstanding Award shall, without the consent of the Grantee thereof, impair such Grantee’s rights under such Award. 

3.4.    Forfeiture; Recoupment. 

(a)    The Committee may reserve the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee
with respect to an Award thereunder on account of actions taken by, or failed to be taken by, such Grantee in violation or breach of, or in conflict with, any (i) non-competition agreement,
(ii) agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or an Affiliate, (iii) confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or an Affiliate, as and to the extent specified in such Award Agreement. If the
Grantee of an outstanding Award is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate and such Grantee’s Service is terminated for Cause, the Committee may annul such Grantee’s outstanding Award as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of
Service for Cause. 
 (b)    Any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to mandatory repayment by the
Grantee of such Award to the Company to the extent that such Grantee is or in the future becomes subject to (i) any Company or Affiliate “clawback” or recoupment policy or (ii) any Applicable Laws, in each case that require the
repayment by such Grantee to the Company or Affiliate of compensation paid to such Grantee by the Company or an Affiliate in the event that such Grantee fails to comply with, or violates, the terms or requirements of such policy. 

(c)    If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance by the Company,
as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, any Grantee of an Award under such Award Agreement who knowingly engaged in such misconduct, was grossly negligent in engaging in such misconduct,
knowingly failed to prevent such misconduct or was grossly negligent in failing to prevent such misconduct, shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of such Award earned or accrued during the period of twelve
(12) months following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that contained information affected by such material noncompliance. 

  
 6 

 (d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any provision of
any Award Agreement, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, then Grantees shall forfeit any cash or Stock received in connection with an Award (or an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Stock on the date of
delivery thereof to the Grantee if the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Stock) if pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement for such Award, the amount of the Award earned or the vesting in the Award was expressly based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals set forth in the Award Agreement (including earnings, gains, or other performance goals) that are later determined, as a result of the accounting restatement, not to have been
achieved. 
 3.5.    No Repricing. 

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, except in connection with a Corporate Transaction involving the Company (including,
without limitation, any stock dividend, distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Stock, securities or other property), stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, change in control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the Company may not (a) amend the terms of outstanding Options to reduce the Option Price of such outstanding
Options; (b) cancel or assume outstanding Options in exchange for or substitution of Options with an Option Price that is less than the Option Price of the original Options; or (c) cancel or assume outstanding Options with an Option Price
above the current Fair Market Value in exchange for cash, Awards, or other securities, in each case, unless such action (i) is subject to and approved by the Company’s stockholders, or (ii) is an appropriate adjustment pursuant to
Section 15. 
 3.6.    No Liability. 

No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any
Award or Award Agreement. 
 3.7.    Share Issuance/Book-Entry. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the issuance of the Stock under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the
Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more Stock certificates. 
  

	4.    STOCK	SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

 4.1.    Number of Shares Available for
Awards. 
 Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15 hereof, the number of shares of Stock available for
issuance under the Plan shall be two hundred seventy-five thousand (275,000), of which forty thousand (40,000) shares of Stock may be made subject to the grant of Stock Units. Stock issued or to be issued under the Plan shall be authorized but

 7 

 4.2.    Share Usage. 

Shares covered by an Award shall be counted as used as of the Grant Date. Any shares of Stock that are subject to Options or Stock Units shall
be counted against the limit set forth in Section 4.1 as one (1) share for every one (1) share subject to an Award. If any shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or
expire, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any Stock subject thereto or is settled in cash in lieu of shares of Stock, then the number of shares of Stock counted against the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan
with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination or expiration, again be available for making Awards under the Plan in the same amount as such shares were counted against the limit set forth in
Section 4.1. The number of shares of Stock available for Awards under the Plan shall not be increased by the number of shares of Stock (i) tendered or withheld or subject to an Award surrendered in connection with the
purchase of shares of Stock upon exercise of an Option as provided in Section 10.2, (ii) deducted or delivered from payment of an Award of an Option or Stock Units in connection with the Company’s tax withholding
obligations as provided in Section 16.3, or (iii) purchased by the Company with proceeds from Option exercises. 
  

	5.	EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION AND AMENDMENTS 

 5.1.    Effective Date.

 The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date. 

5.2.    Term. 

The Plan shall terminate automatically ten (10) years after the Effective Date and may be terminated on any earlier date as provided in
Section 5.3. 
 5.3.    Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 

The Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Awards have
not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent required by Applicable Laws or required by applicable stock exchange listing requirements. No amendment will be made to the no-repricing provisions of Section 3.5 or the option pricing provisions of Section 8.1 without the approval of the Company’s stockholders. No amendment,
suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore awarded under the Plan. 
  

	6.	AWARD ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS 

 6.1.    Service Providers and
Other Persons. 
 Subject to this Section 6, Awards may be made under the Plan to any Service Provider as the
Committee shall determine and designate from time to time. 
 6.2.    Limitation on Shares Subject to Stock Options
and Stock Units. 
 During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act, (i) the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Options or Stock Units that may be awarded under the Plan to any person eligible for an Award under Section 6 hereof other than an Outside Director is
seventy-five thousand shares (75,000) per calendar year, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Options or Stock Units that may be awarded under the Plan to any Outside Director is thirty thousand shares of Stock (30,000) per
calendar year. The preceding limit in this Section 6.2 is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15. 

  
 8 

 6.3    Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards. 

Subject to Section 3.5, Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either
alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, (a) any other Award, (b) any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or any
Affiliate, or (c) any other right of a Grantee to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. Subject to Section 3.5, if an Award is granted in
substitution or exchange for another Award, or for an award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity acquired by the Company or any Affiliate, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or
award under such other plan in consideration for the grant of such substitute or exchange Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash payments under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate.
Notwithstanding Section 8.1, but subject to Section 3.5, the Option Price of an Option that is a Substitute Award may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the original Grant Date; provided that, the Option Price or grant price is determined in accordance with the principles of Code Section 409A. 
  

	7.	AWARD AGREEMENT 

 Each Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement, in such form or forms as the Committee shall from time to time determine. Award Agreements granted from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Each Award
Agreement evidencing an Award of Options shall specify that such Options are intended to be Non-qualified Stock Options. 
  

	8.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS 

 8.1.    Option Price. 

The Option Price of each Option shall be fixed as the Fair Market Value on the date of grant and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such
Option. 
 8.2.    Vesting. 

Subject to Sections 8.3 and 15.3 hereof, each Option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable at such times
and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement; provided that no Option shall be granted to Grantees who are entitled to overtime under Applicable Laws that will vest or be exercisable within a
six (6)-month period starting on the Grant Date. For purposes of this Section 8.2, fractional numbers of shares of Stock subject to an Option shall be rounded down to the next nearest whole number. 

  
 9 

 8.3.    Term. 

Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of
ten years from the date such Option is granted, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option. 

8.4.    Termination of Service. 

Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Grantee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the
Grantee’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

 8.5.    Limitations on Exercise of Option. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date the Plan is
approved by the stockholders of the Company as provided herein or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 15 hereof which results in termination of the Option. 

8.6.    Method of Exercise. 

Subject to the terms of Section 10 and Section 15.3, an Option that is exercisable may be
exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company of notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office, on the form specified by the Company and in accordance with any additional procedures specified by the
Committee. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised
plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to an Award. 

8.7.    Rights of Holders of Options. 

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, an individual holding or entity exercising an Option shall have none of the rights
of a stockholder (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the voting of the subject shares of Stock) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully
paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 15 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance. 

8.8.    Delivery of Stock Certificates. 

Promptly after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price, such Grantee shall be entitled to the
issuance of a stock certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of the shares of Stock subject to the Option. 

  
 10 

 8.9.    Transferability of Options. 

During the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee’s guardian or legal
representative) may exercise an Option. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

 

	9.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK UNITS 

 9.1.    Grant of Stock
Units. 
 Awards of Stock Units may be made for consideration or for no consideration (other than the par value of the shares of Stock,
which shall be deemed paid by past or future Services by the Grantee to the Company or an Affiliate). 

9.2.    Restrictions. 

Subject to Section 15.3, at the time a grant of Stock Units is made, the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
(a) establish a period of time (a “restricted period”) applicable to such Stock Units and (b) prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the restricted period, including the satisfaction of
corporate or individual performance goals, which may be applicable to all or any portion of such Stock Units as provided in Section 12. Awards of Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Committee with respect to such Awards. 

9.3.    Rights of Holders of Stock Units. 

9.3.1.    Voting and Dividend Rights. 

Holders of Stock Units shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or
distributions attributable to the shares of Stock subject to such Stock Units, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock subject to such Stock Units, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s stockholders). The Committee may
provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Stock Units that the holder of such Stock Units shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights. 

9.3.2.    Creditor’s Rights. 

A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement. 

  
 11 

 9.4.    Termination of Service. 

Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement or in writing after such Award Agreement is issued, but prior to termination of
Grantee’s Service, upon the termination of such Grantee’s Service, any Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed
forfeited. Upon forfeiture of such Stock Units, the Grantee thereof shall have no further rights with respect thereto, including any right to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to such Stock Units. 

9.5.    Purchase of Shares of Stock Subject to Stock Units. 

The Grantee shall be required, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, to purchase the shares of Stock subject to vested Stock Units from
the Company at a Purchase Price equal to the greater of (a) the aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such Stock Units or (b) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the Award Agreement relating to such Stock Units.
The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form provided in Section 10 or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in consideration for past or future Services rendered to the Company or an Affiliate. 

9.6.    Delivery of Shares of Stock. 

Upon the expiration or termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the
restrictions applicable to Stock Units settled in shares of Stock shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a book-entry or direct registration or a stock certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of Stock
shall, consistent with Section 3.7, be issued, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee thereof or such Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. Neither the Grantee, nor the Grantee’s beneficiary
or estate, shall have any further rights with regard to a Stock Unit once the shares of Stock represented by the Stock Unit have been delivered in accordance with this Section 9.6. 

 

	10.	FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS AND STOCK UNITS 

 10.1.    General
Rule. 
 Payment of the Option Price for the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for vested
Stock Units shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company. 
 10.2.    Surrender of Stock.

 To the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option
or the Purchase Price for vested Stock Units may be made all or in part through the tender or attestation to the Company of shares of Stock, which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price or Purchase Price
has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of such tender or attestation. 

  
 12 

 10.3.    Cashless Exercise. 

With respect to an Option only, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price
for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock
and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 16.3, or, with the consent of the Company, by issuing the number of shares
equal in value to the difference between the Option Price and the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the portion of the Option being exercised. 

10.4.    Other Forms of Payment. 

To the extent the Award Agreement so provides and/or unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, payment of the Option Price for shares
purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for vested Stock Units may be made in any other form that is consistent with Applicable Laws, regulations and rules, including, without limitation, Service. 

 

	11.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS 

11.1.    Dividend Equivalent Rights. 

A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient thereof to receive credits based on cash distributions that would have been
paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which such Dividend Equivalent Right relates) if such shares of Stock had been issued to and held by the recipient of such Dividend Equivalent Right as of the
record date (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation). A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any Grantee, provided that no Dividend Equivalent Rights may be granted in connection with, or
related to, an Award of Options. Subject to this Section 11, the terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Agreement therefor. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a
Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation) or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock or Awards, which may thereafter accrue additional Dividend
Equivalent Rights. Any such reinvestment in additional shares of Stock shall be at the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of such reinvestment. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a
single installment or in multiple installments, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may (a) provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled
upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award or (b) contain terms and
conditions which are different from the terms and conditions of such other Award. 

  
 13 

 11.2.    Termination of Service. 

Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after such Award Agreement is issued, a Grantee’s rights in
all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee’s termination of Service for any reason. 
  

	12.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS 

 12.1.    Grant of
Performance Awards. 
 Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant
Performance Awards to a Grantee in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. 

12.2.    Value of Performance Awards. 

Each Performance Award shall have an initial cash value or an actual or target number of shares of Stock that is established by the Committee
at the time of grant. The Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are achieved, shall determine the value and/or the number shares of Stock subject to Performance Awards that will be paid
out to the Grantee thereof. 
 12.3.    Earning of Performance Awards. 

Subject to the terms of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the Grantee of Performance Awards shall be entitled to
receive a payout of the value and/or the number shares of Stock subject to Performance Awards earned by the Grantee over such Performance Period. 

12.4.    Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards. 

Payment of earned Performance Awards shall be made, as determined by the Committee, in the form, at the time, and in the manner described in
the applicable Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) may pay earned Performance Awards in the form of cash, shares of Stock, other Awards, other property or a combination thereof and
(b) shall pay the value of the earned Performance Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Committee has determined that the performance goal or goals have been achieved;
provided that, unless specifically provided in the Award Agreement for such Awards, any such payment in respect of Stock Units shall occur no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the
third (3rd) month following the end of the calendar year in which such Performance Period ends. Any shares of Stock paid out under such Awards may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed
appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement for the Awards. 

  
 14 

 12.5.    Performance Conditions. 

The right of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Performance Award and the timing thereof, may be subject to the
achievement of such Performance Measures as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions. Performance under
any of the Performance Measures (i) may be used to measure the performance of (A) the Company, its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates as a whole, (B) the Company, any Subsidiary, and/or any other Affiliate or any combination thereof,
or (C) any one or more business units or operating segments of the Company, any Subsidiary, and/or any other Affiliate, in each case as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and (ii) may be compared to the performance of
one or more other companies, or one or more published or special indices designated or approved by the Committee for such comparison, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
may select Performance Measure specified in Section 2.25(e) for comparison to performance under one or more stock market indices designated or approved by the Committee. The Committee also shall have the authority to
provide for accelerated vesting of any Performance Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this Section 12. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is
intended to prevent the Committee from granting Awards subject to subjective performance conditions (including individual performance conditions); provided, that such Awards shall not be considered Performance Awards under the Plan. 

12.5.1. Evaluation of Performance. 

The Committee may provide in any Performance Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that
occur during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs; (b) litigation or claims, judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results;
(d) any reorganization or restructuring events or programs; (e) extraordinary, non-core, non-operating, or
non-recurring items and items that are either of an unusual nature or of a type that indicates infrequency of occurrence as a separate component of income from continuing operations; (f) acquisitions or
divestitures; (g) impact of shares of Stock purchased through share repurchase programs; (h) tax valuation allowance reversals; (i) impairment expense; and (j) environmental expense. 

 

	13.	PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS 

 If any Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as
defined in Code Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by such Grantee with the Company or an Affiliate, except an
agreement, contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999 (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect
provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a
“Benefit Arrangement”), any right of the Grantee to any exercise, vesting, payment or benefit under the Plan shall be reduced or eliminated: 

  
 15 

 (a)    to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or
benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit to the Grantee under the Plan to be
considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2) as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”); and 

(b)    if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate
after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax
amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. 
 Except as
required by Code Section 409A or to the extent that Code Section 409A permits discretion, the Committee shall have the right, in the Committee’s sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments, or benefits under the Plan, all
Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having such rights, payments, or benefits be considered a Parachute Payment; provided, however, to the extent any payment or benefit constitutes
deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company shall instead accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments to be made furthest in the
future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Options, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Stock Units, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments. 

 

	14.	REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 

 14.1.    General. 

The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Award if the sale or issuance of such shares of Stock would
constitute a violation by the Grantee, any other individual or entity exercising an Option, or the Company or an Affiliate of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state
securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to an Award upon any securities exchange or under any governmental
regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares of Stock hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any other individual or entity exercising an Option
pursuant to such Award unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of
termination of the Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under such
Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Award, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue such shares of Stock unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other
individual or entity exercising an Option may acquire such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The
Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance
of shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock covered by
such Option are registered or are exempt from registration, the exercise of such Option under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of
such an exemption. 

  
 16 

 14.2.    Rule 16b-3. 

During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the
Company that Awards pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options granted hereunder that would otherwise be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act will qualify for the exemption provided by
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3,
it shall be deemed inoperative with respect to such Awards to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3
is revised or replaced, the Committee may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement. 

 

	15.	EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 

 15.1.    Changes in Stock.

 If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of stock or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination of stock, exchange of stock,
stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares of Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares of Stock
for which grants of Options and Stock Units may be made under the Plan (including the limits set forth in Section 6.2) shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which
Awards are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate interest of the Grantee immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such
adjustment in outstanding Options shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of an outstanding Option, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the
Option Price per share. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the
Company’s stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary dividend but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend of the Company) without receipt of consideration by
the Company, the Company shall, in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, adjust (i) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and/or (ii) the exercise price of outstanding Options to reflect such distribution.

  
 17 

 15.2.    Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which
Does Not Constitute a Corporate Transaction. 
 Subject to Section 15.3 hereof, if the Company shall be the
surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other entities which does not constitute a Corporate Transaction, any Option or Stock Unit theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and
apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Option or Stock Unit would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares of Stock remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or
consolidation. Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement evidencing an Award, any restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement shares received by the Grantee as a result of the reorganization, merger or
consolidation. 
 15.3.    Corporate Transaction in which Awards are not Assumed. 

Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction in which outstanding Options and Stock Units are not being assumed or continued, fifteen
days prior to the scheduled consummation of such Corporate Transaction, all Options outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen days and all Stock Units shall become fully vested as
of immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction. 
 With respect to the period during which Options can be exercised,
(i) any exercise of an Option during such fifteen-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the event and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation of the event, and
(ii) upon consummation of any Corporate Transaction, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options shall terminate. The Committee shall send notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all individuals who hold Options
not later than the time at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders. 
 In addition, the Committee may elect, in its sole
discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Options and Stock Units and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Committee acting in good faith),
equal to the product of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Options or Stock Units (the “Award Stock”) multiplied by the the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such transaction,
less, in the case of Options, the Option Price applicable to such Award Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Options, where the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such transaction less the
Option Price, is less than or equal to zero, such Options may be canceled for no consideration in such Corporate Transaction. 

  
 18 

 15.4.    Corporation Transaction in which Awards are Assumed. 

The Plan, Options and Stock Units theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any
Corporate Transaction to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Corporate Transaction for the assumption or continuation of the Options and Stock Units theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options and
Stock Units for new common stock options and stock units relating to the stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common
stock) and option exercise prices in order to provide equivalent value to the Awards. In the event a Grantee’s Award is assumed, continued or substituted upon the consummation of any Corporate Transaction and his employment is terminated
without Cause within one year following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, the Grantee’s Award will be fully vested and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning on the date of such termination and for the one-year period immediately following such termination. 
 15.5.    Adjustments.

 Adjustments under this Section 15 related to shares of Stock or securities of the Company shall be made by
the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share. This Section 15.5 does not limit the Company’s ability to provide for alternative treatment of Awards outstanding under the Plan in the event of
change of control events that are not Corporate Transactions. 
 15.6.    No Limitations on Company. 

The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

16.    GENERAL PROVISIONS 

16.1.    Disclaimer of Rights. 

No provision in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual or entity the right to remain in
the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company or any Affiliate either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any individual or
entity at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual or entity and the Company or any Affiliate. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the
applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such Grantee continues to be provide Service. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to
this Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan and Awards shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer
any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. 

  
 19 

 16.2.    Nonexclusivity of the Plan. 

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating
any limitations upon the right and authority of the Committee to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular
individual or particular individuals) as the Committee in its discretion determines desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or stock units otherwise than under the Plan. 

16.3.    Withholding Taxes. 

(a)    The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise
due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the
exercise of an Option, the vesting of a Stock Unit or pursuant to any other Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse, issuance or exercise, as applicable, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount
that the Company or such Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation; provided, however, that if there is a same day sale of shares of Stock subject to an Award, the Grantee shall pay such
withholding obligation on the day on which the same-day sale is completed. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or an Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may
be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such withholding obligation, in whole or in part, (a) by causing the Company or such Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (b) by delivering
to the Company or such Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so withheld or delivered shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligation. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock
used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or such Affiliate as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this
Section 16.3 may satisfy such Grantee’s withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements. 

(b)    The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld from any Award to satisfy any federal, state, or local
tax withholding requirements upon the exercise, vesting, or lapse of restrictions applicable to any Award or payment of shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, as applicable, may not exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value
equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company or the applicable Affiliate to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state, or local taxing authority with respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions, or payment of
shares of Stock; provided, however, for so long as Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 or a similar rule remains in effect, the Board or the Committee has full discretion to choose, or to allow a
Grantee to elect, to withhold a number of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding obligation (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum
required statutory withholding amount(s) in such Grantee’s relevant tax jurisdiction). 

  
 20 

 (c)    Notwithstanding Section 2.16 or this
Section 16.3, for purposes of determining taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding obligation pursuant to this Section 16.3, the Fair Market Value will be determined by the
Committee in good faith using any reasonable method as it deems appropriate, to be applied consistently with respect to Grantees. 

16.4.    Captions. 

The use of captions in this Plan or any Award Agreement is for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any
provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement. 
 16.5.    Other Provisions. 

Each Award granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the
Committee, in its sole discretion. 
 16.6.    Number and Gender. 

With respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine
gender, etc., as the context requires. 
 16.7.    Severability. 

If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any
jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction. 

16.8.    Governing Law. 

The validity and construction of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any
other jurisdiction. 
 16.9.    Code Section 409A. 

The Company intends to comply with Code Section 409A, or an exemption to Code Section 409A, with regard to Awards hereunder that
constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that a Grantee would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation
plans pursuant to Code Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award granted under this Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such
amendment shall be determined by the Committee.

The Administrator shall be responsible for aiding the Corporation in maintaining the financial and other records that the Corporation is required to maintain and preparing all reports and other materials required to be filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any other regulatory authority, including, but not limited to, current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K and proxy or information statements to stockholders.
