 8 

 (v) General Requirements Regarding Reimbursements. Any reimbursement to which the
Executive may become entitled under this Section 3(G) and which is subject to Section 409A during one calendar year shall not affect the amount or availability of reimbursements in another calendar year. Any reimbursement of an eligible

Executive incurred the reimbursable expense. 
 H. Personal Income Taxes. If the Executive relocates from a state without a personal
income tax at the time of his relocation to a state having a personal income tax, or if the Executive resides in a state without a personal income tax on the Effective Date which subsequently adopts a personal income tax, then, in either case, the
Company shall pay to the Executive such additional compensation as is necessary (after taking into account all federal, state and local taxes payable by the Executive as a result of the receipt of such additional compensation) to place the Executive
in the same after-tax position (including federal, state and local taxes) he would have been in had no such excise or similar purpose tax (or interest or penalties thereon) been paid or incurred. Any compensation to which the Executive may become
entitled under this Section 3(H) shall be paid no later than the earlier of (i) the date prescribed by the Company’s applicable policies and procedures or (ii) the last day of Executive’s taxable year next following the

Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive
shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines that there is no reasonable expectation of the Executive’s recovery and return to active employment, then,
as of the date of such determination, (a) the Executive shall be deemed to have terminated his employment with the Company for purposes of determining when he shall receive the amounts to which he is entitled under Paragraph 5(A), and

Agreement that purportedly is pursuant to this Section 4(A)(iii) but which meets the more specific requirements of a termination pursuant to Section 4(A)(ii) shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be a termination pursuant
to Section 4(A)(ii). 
 B. Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company or the Executive pursuant to
Section 4(A)(ii) or 4(A)(iii) shall be communicated by a “Notice of Termination” to the other party hereto. The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which
contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the
Company’s rights hereunder.

means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4(A)(ii) or 4(A)(iii), the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, and (ii) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the events set forth in Section 4(A)(i), the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

(a) and (b) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligation”). 
 (ii) Executive shall receive
a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount he would have received if (1) his employment had not been terminated and (2) his Annual Base Salary as of the Date of Termination had remained in effect and been paid to the 

  

 10 

 
Executive pursuant to this Agreement for the period (the “Remaining Employment Period”) beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the
latest possible date of termination of the Employment Period in accordance with the definition of Employment Period (the “Final Expiration Date”).

payable in Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to the excess of (x) the Highest Price Per Share over (y) the exercise or purchase price, if any, of such Compensatory Awards.

under the plans and programs of a subsequent employer (such coverage and benefits to be determined on a coverage-by-coverage or benefit-by-benefit basis) or the later of (1) the death of the Executive, (2) the death of the Executive’s
spouse and (3) the youngest child of the Executive reaching age 21; provided that (x) if the Executive is precluded from continuing his participation in any benefit plan or program as provided in clause (v), he shall be provided with the
after-tax economic equivalent of the benefits provided under the plan or program in which he is unable to participate for the period specified in clause (v) and (y) the economic equivalent of any benefit foregone shall be deemed to be the
lowest cost that would be incurred by the Executive in obtaining such benefit himself on an individual basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any compensation or benefits payable under this Section 5(A)(5) are not attributable
to the continuation of group health insurance pursuant to the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code or Part VI of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, then any such payments shall be made no later than

of interest contracted for, charged or received hereunder exceed the maximum non-usurious amount of interest allowed by applicable law. Any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7 shall be made no later than the last day of the
Executive’s taxable year next following the year in which such expense was incurred. 
 B. If there shall be any dispute between the
Company and the Executive concerning (i) in the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, whether such termination was for Cause or Disability or occurred during a Window Period, or (ii) in the event of
any termination of employment by the Executive, whether Good Reason existed or whether 

  

 12 

 
such termination occurred during a Window Period, then, unless and until there is a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
declaring that such termination was for Cause or Disability or that the determination by the Executive of the existence of Good Reason was not made in good faith or that the termination did not occur during a Window Period, the Company shall pay all
amounts, and provide all benefits, to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide pursuant to Section 5(A) as though such termination were by
the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason or during a Window Period; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amounts pursuant to this Section 7(B) except upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the Executive to repay all such amounts to which the Executive is ultimately adjudged by such court not to be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is a “specified employee” and incurs a
“separation from service” (within the meaning such terms as defined in Section 409A), then any payments that would otherwise be payable under this Section 7(B) shall not be payable until the expiration of six months from the date
of such separation from service. Operation of this Section 7(B) shall not result in the delay of any other payment to which the Executive is otherwise entitled upon his separation from service. 
  

	8.	CERTAIN TAX MATTERS. 

 If the Company, its affiliates, any
person acquiring ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets or any other person to whom stock ownership is attributed pursuant to Section 318(a) of the Code makes any payment
or distribution in the nature of compensation to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, and whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable in cash, stock or any other form) and such payment or distribution constitutes a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) which would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall pay to the Executive such additional compensation as is necessary (after taking into account all federal, state and local taxes payable by the Executive as a result of the receipt of such
additional compensation) to place the Executive in the same after-tax position (including federal, state and local taxes) he would have been in had no such excise or similar purpose tax (or interest or penalties thereon) been paid or incurred. The
Company hereby agrees to pay such additional compensation within the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth Business Day next following the date on which the Executive notifies the Company that the Executive intends to file a tax return taking the
position that such excise or similar purpose tax is due and payable in reliance on a written opinion of the Executive’s tax counsel (such tax counsel to be chosen solely by the Executive) that it is more likely than not that such excise tax is
due and payable or (ii) the first Business Day following notice of or action by the Company that it intends to take the position that such excise tax is due and payable. The costs of obtaining the tax counsel opinion referred to in clause
(i) of the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Company, and as long as such tax counsel was chosen by the Executive in good faith, the conclusions reached in such opinion shall not be challenged or disputed by the Company. If the Executive
intends to make any payment with respect to any such excise or similar purpose tax as a result of an adjustment to the Executive’s tax liability by any federal, state or local tax authority, the Company will pay such additional compensation by
delivering its cashier’s check payable in such amount to the Executive on the fifth Business Day next 

  

 13 

 
following the date on which the Executive notifies the Company of his intention to make such payment. Without limiting the obligation of the Company
hereunder, the Executive agrees, in the event the Executive makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence, to negotiate with the Company in good faith with respect to procedures reasonably requested by the Company which would afford the
Company the ability to contest the imposition of such excise or similar purpose tax; provided, however, that the Executive will not be required to afford the Company any right to contest the applicability of any such excise or similar purpose tax to
the extent that the Executive reasonably determines (based upon the opinion of his tax counsel) that such contest is inconsistent with the overall tax interests of the Executive. Any reimbursement that is payable pursuant to the terms of this
Section 8 shall be made no later than the close of the Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the expense was remitted. 
  

	9.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

 A. The Executive shall hold in
a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during
the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement) (referred to herein as
“Confidential Information”). After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process,
communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or
withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement. Within 30 days of the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall return to Company all documents and other tangible items of or
containing Company information which are in Executive’s possession, custody or control. 
 B. The Executive shall disclose promptly to
the Company any and all conceptions and ideas for inventions, improvements and valuable discoveries, whether patentable or not, which are conceived or made by the Executive solely or jointly with any other Person or Persons during the Employment
Period and which pertain primarily to the material business activities of the Company, and the Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign all his interests therein to the Company or to its nominee; whenever requested to do so by the Company, the
Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain Letters of Patent of the United States or any foreign country or to otherwise protect the
Company’s interest therein. These obligations shall (i) continue beyond the Date of Termination with respect to inventions, improvements and valuable discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived, made or acquired by the Executive
during the Employment Period and (ii) be binding upon the Executive’s assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. 
  

 14 

	10.	COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE 

 A. Executive recognizes that in
each of the highly competitive businesses in which the Company is engaged, personal contact is of primary importance in securing new customers and in retaining the accounts and goodwill of present customers and protecting the business of the
Company. The Executive, therefore, agrees that during the Employment Period and, if the Date of Termination occurs by reason of the termination of Executive’s employment in accordance with Section 4(A)(iii), for a period of one year after
the Date of Termination, he will not, within any country with respect to which he has devoted substantial attention to the material business interests of the Company or any of its Affiliates as of the Date of Termination without regard, in either
case, to whether the Executive has worked at such location (the “Relevant Geographic Area”), with respect to only the Relevant Geographic Area, (i) accept employment or render service to any person that is engaged in a business
directly competitive with the business then engaged in by the Company or any of its Affiliates or (ii) enter into or take part in or lend his name, counsel or assistance to any business, either as proprietor, principal, investor, partner,
director, officer, executive, consultant, advisor, agent, independent contractor, or in any other capacity whatsoever, for any purpose that would be competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates (all of the foregoing
activities are collectively referred to as the “Prohibited Activity”). 
 B. In addition to all other remedies at law or in equity
which the Company may have for breach of a provision of this Section 10 by the Executive, it is agreed that in the event of any breach or attempted or threatened breach of any such provision, the Company shall be entitled, upon application to
any court of proper jurisdiction, to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction (without the necessity of (i) proving irreparable harm, (ii) establishing that monetary damages are inadequate or (iii) posting any bond with
respect thereto) against the Executive prohibiting such breach or attempted or threatened breach by proving only the existence of such breach or attempted or threatened breach. If the provisions of this Section 10 should ever be deemed to
exceed the time, geographic or occupational limitations permitted by the applicable law, the Executive and the Company agree that such provisions shall be and are hereby reformed to the maximum time, geographic or occupational limitations permitted
by the applicable law. 
 C. The covenants of the Executive set forth in this Section 10 are independent of and severable from every
other provision of this Agreement; and the breach of any other provision of this Agreement by the Company or the breach by the Company of any other agreement between the Company and the Executive shall not affect the validity of the provisions of
this Section 10 or constitute a defense of the Executive in any suit or action brought by the Company to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 10 or seek any relief for the breach thereof by Executive. 
 D. The Executive acknowledges, agrees and stipulates that: (i) the terms and provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and constitute an otherwise
enforceable agreement to which the terms and provisions of this Section 10 are ancillary or a part of as contemplated by Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ann. §§ 15.50-15.52; (ii) the consideration provided by the Company under
this Agreement is not illusory; and (iii) the consideration given by the Company under this Agreement, including the provision by the Company of Confidential Information to the Executive as contemplated by Section 9, gives rise to the
Company’s interest in restraining and 

  

 15 

 
prohibiting the Executive from engaging in the Prohibited Activity within the Relevant Geographic Area as provided under this Section 10, and the
Executive’s covenant not to engage in the Prohibited Activity within the Relevant Geographic Area pursuant to this Section 10 is designed to enforce the Executive’s consideration (or return promises), including the Executive’s
promise to not disclose Confidential Information under this Agreement. 
  

	11.	GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

 A. Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to principles of conflict of laws that would require the application of the laws of any other state or jurisdiction. 
 B. Section 409A. The following provisions shall apply to this Agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary: 
 (i) This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and ambiguous provisions, if any, shall be construed in a
manner that is compliant with or exempt from the application of Section 409A. If a provision of the Agreement would result in the imposition of applicable taxes and interest under Section 409A, such provision may be reformed to avoid
imposition of such taxes and interest and no action taken to comply with Code Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect any rights or benefits of the Executive hereunder. 
 (ii) This Agreement shall not be amended in a manner that would cause the Agreement or any amounts payable under the Agreement to fail to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, and, further, the provisions of any purported amendment that may reasonably be expected to result in such non-compliance shall be of no force or effect with respect to the
Agreement. 
 (iii) The Company shall neither cause nor permit any payment, benefit or consideration to be substituted for a
benefit that is payable under this Agreement if such action would result in the failure of any amount that is subject to Section 409A to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A. 
 (iv) The Company shall neither cause nor permit any adjustments to any equity interest to be made in a manner that would result in the
equity interest’s becoming subject to Section 409A unless, after such adjustment, the equity interest is in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent applicable. 
 (v) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the
meaning of Section 409A as of the Executive’s Date of Termination, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Agreement upon the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A
which are subject to the provisions of Section 409A and are not otherwise excluded under Section 409A and would otherwise be payable during the first six-month period following such separation from service shall be paid on the first
Business Day next following the earlier of (a) the date that is six months and one day following the Date of Termination or (b) the date of Executive’s death. 
  

 16 

 (vi) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment under this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a separate payment. 
 C. Successors. 
 (i) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the
Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s heirs, executors and other legal representatives. 
 (ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and may only be assigned to a successor described in
Section 11(C)(iii). 
 (iii) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it
if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by
operation of law, or otherwise. 
 D. Headings. The headings of Sections and subsections hereof are included for convenience of
reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 E. Amendments; Waivers.
This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and heirs, executors and other legal representatives. 
 F. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, delivery or other communication hereunder to be made pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement shall be sufficiently given or made if in writing and (i) delivered in person with receipt acknowledged, (ii) sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) sent by
overnight courier with guaranteed next day delivery or (iv) sent by telex or telecopier to the party to whom directed at the following address: 13550 Hempstead Highway, Houston, Texas 77040, or at such other address as may be substituted by
notice given as herein provided. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be effective when actually received by the
addressee. 
 G. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held or found by final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, (i) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, (ii) this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein (except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any modification allowed under Section 10) and (iii) if the effect of a holding or
finding that any such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable is to modify to the 

  

 17 

 
Executive’s detriment, reduce or eliminate any compensation, reimbursement, payment, allowance or other benefit to the Executive intended by the Company
and the Executive in entering into this Agreement, the Company shall, within 30 days after the date of such finding or holding, negotiate and expeditiously enter into an agreement with the Executive which contains alternative provisions (reasonably
acceptable to the Executive) that will restore to the Executive (to the extent lawfully permissible) substantially the same economic, substantive and income tax benefits and legal rights the Executive would have enjoyed had such provision been
upheld as legal, valid and enforceable. 
 H. Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement
such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 I. No Waiver.
The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including the
right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason or during a Window Period pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

 J. Entire Agreement. This agreement contains the complete and total understanding of the parties concerning the subject matter
hereof and expressly supersedes any previous agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof as well as any agreement between Executive and Dril-Quip, Inc., a Texas corporation. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

the objectives of this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for the extension of the exercisability of any Employee Award, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of any Employee Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any
restrictions contained in any Employee Award, waive any restriction or other provision of this Plan or any Employee Award or otherwise amend or modify any Employee Award in any manner that is either (i) not adverse to the Participant to whom
that Employee Award was granted or (ii) consented to in writing by that Participant; provided that the exercise price of an outstanding Option will not be reduced without approval of the stockholders of the Company. The Committee may grant an
Employee Award to any individual who has agreed in writing to become an Employee within six months after the date of that agreement, provided that the effectiveness of that Award will be subject to the condition that the individual actually becomes
an Employee within that time period. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Employee Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to
further the purposes of this Plan. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of this Plan will lie within its sole and absolute discretion and will be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned. 

(c) No member of the Committee or officer of the Company to whom the Committee has delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
7 of this Plan will be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or her, by any member of the Committee or by any officer of the Company in connection with the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his or her own willful
misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. 
 7. Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate to any Chairman of the Board
and to other senior officers of the Company its duties under this Plan on such terms and subject to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish, except that the Committee may not delegate to any person the authority to grant Awards
to, or take other action with respect to, Employee Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 8. Employee Awards. 
 (a) The Committee will determine the type or types of Employee Awards to be made and will designate from time to time the Employees who are to receive Employee Awards. Each Employee Award will be evidenced by an
Employee Award Agreement containing such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee determines in its sole discretion and signed by the Participant to whom the Employee Award is made and by an Authorized Officer for and on behalf of the
Company. Employee Awards may consist of those listed in this paragraph 8(a) hereof and may be granted singly or in combination or tandem with other Employee Awards. Employee Awards also may be made in combination or tandem with, in replacement of or
as alternatives to grants or rights under this Plan or any other employee plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including the plan of any acquired entity. No option may be granted in exchange or in replacement of an option having a higher
exercise price. An Employee Award may provide for the grant or issuance of additional, replacement or alternative Employee Awards upon the occurrence of specified events, including the exercise of the original Employee Award granted to a
Participant. All or part of an Employee Award may be subject to conditions established by the Committee, which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, achievement of specific business
objectives, increases in specified indices, attainment of specified growth rates and other comparable measurements of performance. If a Participant holding an Employee Award ceases to be an Employee, any unexercised, deferred, unexercisable,
unvested or unpaid portion of that Employee Award will be treated as set forth in the applicable Employee Award Agreement. 
 (i) Stock Option. An Employee Award may be in the form of an Option. An Option awarded pursuant to this Plan may consist of an Incentive Option or a Nonqualified Option. The price at which any share of Common Stock may be purchased
on the exercise of any Option will not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the date of grant of that Option, and the Committee will determine the other terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each Option,
including its term and the date or dates on which it becomes exercisable. 
 (ii) Stock Appreciation Right. An Employee
Award may be in the form of a SAR. The Committee will determine the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each SAR awarded pursuant to this Plan, including its term and the date or dates on which it becomes exercisable. 
 (iii) Stock Award. An Employee Award may be in the form of a Stock Award. The Committee will determine the terms, conditions and
limitations applicable to each Stock Award granted pursuant to this Plan. 
 (iv) Cash Award. An Employee Award may be
in the form of a Cash Award. The Committee will determine the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each Cash Award granted pursuant to this Plan. 
 (v) Performance Award. Without limiting the type or number of Employee Awards that may be made under the other provisions of this
Plan, an Employee Award may be in the form of a Performance Award. A Performance Award 

  

 5 

 
will be paid, vested or otherwise deliverable solely on account of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective Performance Goals established by
the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates or (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the
goal is established) and, in any event, while the outcome is substantially uncertain. A Performance Goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met. A Performance Goal may be based on
one or more business criteria, including, but not limited to, those that apply to the individual, one or more lines or classes of products or services of the Company, one or more business divisions, groups or units of the Company or the Company as a
whole and may include one or more of the following: increased revenue, net income, stock price, market share, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets or decrease in costs. Unless otherwise stated, a Performance Goal need not be based
on an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan
provisions applicable to Performance Goals and Performance Awards, it is the intent of this Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(e)(2)(i) or any successor law or regulation,
and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan will be guided by those provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of Performance Goals, the Committee must certify in writing that the
applicable Performance Goals were, in fact, satisfied. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Committee will determine the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to Performance Awards. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the following limitations will apply to each Employee Award: 
 (i) no Participant may be granted, during any one-year period, Employee Awards consisting of Options or SARs that are exercisable for more
than 300,000 shares of Common Stock; 
 (ii) no Participant may be granted, during any one-year period, Stock Awards covering
or relating to more than 10,000 shares of Common Stock (the limitation set forth in this clause (ii), together with the limitation set forth in clause (i) above, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stock-based Awards
Limitations”); and 
 (iii) no Participant may be granted Employee Awards consisting of cash or in any other form
permitted under this Plan (other than Employee Awards consisting of Options or SARs or otherwise consisting of shares of Common Stock or units denominated in such shares) in respect of any one-year period having a value determined on the date of
grant in excess of $1,000,000. 
 9. Payment of Awards. 
 (a) General. Payment of Employee Awards may be made in the form of cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof, and may include such restrictions as the Committee 

  

 6 

 
may determine, including, in the case of Common Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. If payment of an Employee Award is made in the
form of shares of Restricted Stock, the applicable Award Agreement relating to those shares will specify whether they are to be issued at the beginning or end of their Restriction Period If shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the
beginning of their Restriction Period, the certificates evidencing those shares (to the extent that those shares are so evidenced) will contain appropriate legends and restrictions that describe the terms and conditions of the restrictions
applicable thereto. If shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the end of their Restricted Period, the right to receive those shares will be evidenced by book entry registration or in such other manner as the Committee may determine.

 (b) Deferral. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payments of some or all
types of Employee Awards, subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee and the requirements of Section 409A. Any deferred payment of an Employee Award, whether elected by the Participant or specified by the applicable Award
Agreement or by the Committee, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the applicable Award Agreement so provides. 
 (c) Dividends and
Interest. Rights to dividends or Dividend Equivalents may be extended to and made part of any Employee Award consisting of shares of Common Stock or units denominated in shares of Common Stock, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions
as the Committee may establish. The Committee also may establish rules and procedures for the crediting of interest on deferred cash payments and Dividend Equivalents for Employee Awards consisting of shares of Common Stock or units denominated in
shares of Common Stock. 
 (d) Substitution of Awards. At the discretion of the Committee, a Participant who is an Employee may be
offered an election to substitute any Employee Award for another Employee Award or Awards of the same or a different type. 
 10. Stock
Option Exercise. The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under an Option will be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or, if elected by the optionee, the optionee may purchase those shares by means of tendering Common
Stock or surrendering another Award, including shares of Restricted Stock, valued at their Fair Market Value per share on the date of exercise or any combination thereof. The Committee will determine acceptable methods for Participants who are
Employees to tender Common Stock or other Employee Awards; provided, that any Common Stock that is or was the subject of an Employee Award may be so tendered only if it has been held by the Participant for six months. The Committee may provide for
procedures to permit the exercise or purchase of Employee Awards by use of the proceeds to be received from the sale of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Employee Award. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if shares of
Restricted Stock are tendered as consideration for the exercise of an Option, the number of the shares issued on the exercise of the Option that equals the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor will be subject to the
same restrictions as the Restricted Stock so submitted as well as to any additional restrictions the Committee may impose. 
 11.
Taxes. The Company will have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Employee Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of cash or shares of 

  

 7 

 
Common Stock under this Plan or at the time otherwise required by applicable law, an appropriate amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock or a
combination thereof for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of those taxes. The Committee may permit withholding to be satisfied
by the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Employee Award with respect to which withholding is required. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, those shares will be valued
at their Fair Market Value per share when the tax withholding is required to be made. The Committee may provide for loans, on either a short—term or demand basis, from the Company to a Participant who is an Employee to permit the payment of
taxes required by law. 
 12. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate
this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (i) no amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award
previously granted to that Participant will be made without the consent of that Participant and (ii) no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent such approval is required
by applicable legal requirements or the applicable requirements of the securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. 
 13.
Section 409A. The following provisions shall apply to this Plan, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary: 
 (a) This Plan
is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and ambiguous provisions, if any, shall be construed in a manner that is compliant with or exempt from the application of Section 409A. If a provision of the Plan would result in the
imposition of applicable taxes and interest under Section 409A, such provision may be reformed to avoid imposition of such taxes and interest and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect any rights or
benefits of the Participant hereunder. 
 (b) This Plan shall not be amended in a manner that would cause the Agreement or any amounts
payable under the Plan to fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, and, further, the provisions of any purported amendment that may reasonably be expected to result in such non-compliance shall be of no
force or effect with respect to the Agreement. 
 (c) The Plan shall neither cause nor permit any payment, benefit or consideration to be
substituted for a benefit that is payable under this Plan if such action would result in the failure of any amount that is subject to Section 409A to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A as of the Participant’s Date of Termination, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Plan upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A which are
subject to the provisions of Section 409A and are not otherwise excluded under Section 409A and would otherwise be payable during the first six-month period following such separation from service shall be paid on the first business day
next following the earlier of (a) the date that is six months and one day following the Date of Termination or (b) the date of Participant’s death. 
  

 8 

 (e) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment under this Plan shall be deemed to be a separate
payment. 
 14. Assignability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award
or any other benefit under this Plan will be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder. The Committee may prescribe and include in any Award Agreement other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation
of this Paragraph 13 will be null and void. 
 15. Adjustments. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 15 to the contrary, the Company shall neither cause nor permit any adjustments to any equity
interest to be made in a manner that would result in the equity interest’s becoming subject to Section 409A unless, after such adjustment, the equity interest is in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent
applicable. 
 (b) The existence of outstanding Awards will not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to
make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other
stock (whether or not that issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the Common Stock) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above. 
 (c) If any subdivision,
split or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock occurs, then, except with respect to the Awards outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date and consisting of
Options, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards in the form of Common Stock or units denominated in Common Stock, (iii) the exercise
or other price in respect of such Awards, (iv) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards and (v) the Stock-based Awards Limitations each will be proportionately adjusted by the Board to reflect the
consequences of that occurrence. If any recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, any adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting the
Common Stock or any distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends) occurs, the Board will make appropriate adjustments to the amounts or other items referred to in clauses (ii), (iii),
(iv) and (v) of the preceding sentence to give effect to that transaction; provided, that such adjustments will be only those as are necessary to maintain the 

  

 9 

 
proportionate interest of the holders of the Awards and preserve, without exceeding, the value of those Awards. In the event of a corporate merger,
consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee will be authorized to issue or assume Awards by means of substitution of new Awards, as appropriate, for previously issued Awards or to assume
previously issued Awards as part of such adjustment. 
 16. Restrictions. No Common Stock or other form of payment will be issued with
respect to any Award unless the Company is satisfied, on the basis of advice of its counsel, that the issuance will comply with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered under this Plan
(to the extent that the shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any securities exchange or transaction reporting system on which the Common Stock is then listed or to which it is admitted for quotation and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed
upon those certificates (if any) to make appropriate reference to those restrictions. 
 17. Unfunded Plan. Insofar as it provides for
Awards of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto, this Plan will be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are entitled to cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan, any such accounts
will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company will not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by cash, Common Stock or rights thereto, nor will this Plan be construed as providing for that
segregation, nor shall the Company, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of any cash, Common Stock or rights thereto to be granted under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of the Company to any Participant with respect to an
Award of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan shall be based solely on any contractual obligations that may be created by this Plan and any Award Agreement, and no such liability or obligation of the Company will be deemed to be
secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee will be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan.

 18. Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by
mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 19. Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of December 31, 2008.
