 ROBERT HALF INTERNATIONAL INC. 
 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 (As Amended and Restated Effective May 6, 2008) 
  

	SECTION	1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE. 

 The purpose of the
Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Participants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of individuals with
exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Participants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options
(which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights. Subject to approval by RHI’s stockholders, this Plan supersedes the Existing Equity Plans, as described herein.

	SECTION	3. ADMINISTRATION. 

 (a) Committee
Procedures. One or more Committees appointed by the Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. The Board of Directors shall designate one of the members of the Committee as chairperson. Unless the Board of Directors provides otherwise, the

subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (ii) Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code to so qualify. Only the Compensation Committee may make Award grants
and administer the Plan with respect to Section 16 Participants. 
 The Compensation Committee may also appoint one or more separate
subcommittees composed of one or more directors of RHI who need not qualify under either Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, who may administer the Plan with respect to persons who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act
and/or Awards that are not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (b)
Committee Responsibilities. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full authority and discretion to take the following actions: 
 (i) To interpret the Plan and to apply its provisions; 
  

 5 

 (ii) To adopt, amend or rescind rules, procedures and forms relating to the Plan;

 (iii) To authorize any person to execute, on behalf of the Company, any instrument required to carry out the purposes of
the Plan; 
 (iv) To determine when Awards are to be granted under the Plan; 
 (v) To select the Eligible Participants who are to receive Awards under the Plan; 
 (vi) To determine the number of Shares to be made subject to each Award; 
 (vii) To prescribe the terms and conditions of each Award, including (without limitation) the Exercise Price or Purchase Price, the
vesting of the Award (including accelerating the vesting of Awards) and to specify the provisions of the agreement relating to such Award; 
 (viii) To prescribe the terms and conditions of each Option, including (without limitation) the Exercise Price, the vesting or duration of the Option (including accelerating the vesting of the Option), to determine
whether such Option is to be classified as an ISO or as a Nonstatutory Option, and to specify the provisions of the Stock Option Award relating to such Option; 
 (ix) To amend any outstanding Restricted Share Award, Stock Option, Award, SAR Award or Stock Unit Award subject to applicable legal
restrictions and to the consent of the Participant who entered into such agreement; 
 (x) To prescribe the consideration for
the grant of each Award under the Plan and to determine the sufficiency of such consideration; 
 (xi) To determine whether
Awards under the Plan will be granted in replacement of other grants under an incentive or other compensation plan of an acquired business; 
 (xii) To correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, any Restricted Share Award, Stock Option Award, SAR Award, or Stock Unit Award; 
 (xiii) To take any other actions deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; 
 (xiv) To determine, at the time of granting an Award or thereafter, that such Award shall vest as to all or part of the Shares subject to
such Award in the event of a Change in Control. 
 (xv) To accelerate the vesting, or extend the post-termination exercise
term, of Awards at any time and under such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate. 
 In addition, without amending the Plan, the
Committee may grant awards under the Plan to eligible employees or consultants who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be necessary or desirable to
foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of
laws in other countries in which the Company operates or has employees. 
 Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Board of
Directors may authorize one or more officers of RHI to grant Awards and the Committee may designate persons other than members of the Committee to carry out its responsibilities, and the Committee may prescribe such conditions and limitations as it
may deem appropriate, except that the Board of Directors or the Committee may not delegate its authority with regard to Awards to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Awards intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Participants, and all persons deriving their rights from a Participant. No member of the
Committee shall be liable for any action that he has taken or has failed to take in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award. 
 Except arising from any action taken, or failure to act, in bad faith, each member of the Committee, or of the Board of Directors, shall be indemnified and held harmless by RHI against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, 

  

 6 

 
or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which
he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any agreement under the Plan, and (ii) from any and all amounts paid by him or her, with RHI’s prior approval,
in settlement thereof or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall have given RHI a reasonable opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend
the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under RHI’s
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that RHI may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
  

	SECTION	4. ELIGIBILITY. 

 (a) General Rule. Only
Eligible Participants may be granted Restricted Shares, Stock Units, NSOs or SARs. In addition, only individuals who are employed as common-law employees by the Company may be granted ISOs. 
 (b) Limitation on Awards. In any fiscal year of RHI, no individual shall receive Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and/or Stock Units covering in
excess of 2,000,000 Shares in the aggregate; provided, however, that Outside Directors may only receive Awards covering up to 15,000 Shares in the aggregate per Outside Director in any fiscal year of RHI. The limitations under this Subsection shall
be subject to adjustment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Plan. 
 SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. 

 (a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum
aggregate number of Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 20,000,000 Shares. This limit shall be subject to the provisions of the next Subsection and shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the
adjustment provisions of the Plan. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan. 
 (b) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares
are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised, then the corresponding Shares shall again become available for
Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number of Shares available under the Plan and the balance shall again become available for
Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number of Shares available under the Plan and the balance shall again become available for Awards under
the Plan. 
 (c) Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents paid or credited under the Plan shall not be applied against the number
of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options or SARs available for Awards, whether or not such dividend equivalents are converted into Stock Units. 
 SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES. 
 (a) Restricted Share Award. Each grant of Restricted Shares
under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Share Award between the recipient and RHI. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan,
including those specified in any Other Agreement. The provisions of the various Restricted Share Awards entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 
 (b) Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence and applicable law, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without

  

 7 

 
limitation) cash, cash equivalents, past services and future services. To the extent that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award
recipient shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or past services rendered to the Company, as the Committee may determine. To the extent an Award of
Restricted Shares consists solely of treasury shares, the Award may be made without consideration furnished by the recipient. 
 (c)
Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares shall be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Share Award or as specified in any Other Agreement. Unless
the Restricted Share Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, each grant of Restricted Shares shall vest with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by the grant on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of
the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated on the applicable vesting date. A Restricted Share Award may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s Protiviti Retirement,
Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, a Change in Control, or, if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement. To the extent that an Award of Restricted Shares has not vested prior to, or
concurrently with, termination of a Participant’s Service, such Award shall immediately terminate. 
 (d) Voting and Dividend
Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as RHI’s other stockholders. 
 (e) Assignment or Transfer of Restricted Shares. Except as provided herein, or in a Restricted Share Award, or as required by applicable law, Restricted Shares shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached,
garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. Any act in violation of this Subsection shall be void. However, this Subsection shall not preclude a
Participant from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding Restricted Shares in the event of the Participant’s death, nor shall it preclude a transfer of Restricted Shares by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

  

	SECTION	7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. 

 (a) Stock
Option Award. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Award between the Optionee and RHI. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms
and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan, including those specified in any Other Agreement. The Stock Option Award shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Awards entered into
under the Plan need not be identical. A Stock Option Award may not provide that a new Option will be granted automatically to the Optionee when he or she exercises a prior Option and pays the Exercise Price. 
 (b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Award shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of ISOs awarded under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares subject to the Plan under Section 5(a). The limitation of this
Subsection shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Plan. 
 (c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option
Award shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than 100 percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Subject to the foregoing in this Subsection, the Exercise Price under
any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms permitted under the Plan. 
 (d) Exercisability and Term. Unless the Stock Option Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, each Option shall become exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by
such 

  

 8 

 
Option on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated on the
applicable vesting date. The term of an Option shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant unless the Stock Option Award provides for a shorter term. A Stock Option Award may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Optionee’s Protiviti Retirement, Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, a Change in Control, or, if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement, and may provide for expiration prior to the
end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service, subject to the provisions of any Other Agreement. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable
unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Subsection, the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire. 

(e) Nontransferability. Except as set forth in a Stock Option Award, or as provided by an Other Agreement, with respect to an NSO, during an
Optionee’s lifetime, his Option(s) shall be exercisable only by him and shall not be transferable, and in the event of an Optionee’s death, his Option(s) shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. 
 (f) Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service. Each
Stock Option Award shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the
Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. 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. Unless the Stock Option Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, Options which are unvested at the time of an Optionee’s termination of
Service shall expire upon such termination, and any vested Options shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of 90 days following such termination and the expiration of the Option’s term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
exercise of an Option during the 90-day period described in the previous sentence would subject the Optionee to liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act by reason of transactions by the Optionee prior to the Optionee’s termination of
service (“Prior Transaction”), such Option shall be exercisable until the earliest of (a) its normal termination date and (b) the 30th day after the first date upon which the Optionee would not be subject to Section 16 liability by reason of the Prior Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Optionee’s Misconduct Termination, effective as
of the date notice of such termination is given by the Committee to the Optionee, all of the Optionee’s vested and unvested Options shall automatically terminate and lapse, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise. 
 (g) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding
Options. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his rights or increase his obligations under such Option. Options may not be repriced without the approval of RHI’s
stockholders. 
 SECTION 8. PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES. 
 (a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America, as permitted under this Section. Payment may be made by any
combination of the methods described in this Section. 
 (b) Cash. Payment may be made by cash, check, wire transfer or similar means,
subject to the requirements of applicable law. 
 (c) Surrender of Stock. Payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or
attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have been owned by the Optionee or his representative for such period of time required to avoid RHI’s recognition of additional compensation expense with respect to the Option for financial reporting
purposes as a result of the surrender or attestation of such previously owned shares. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. 
  

 9 

 (d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made all or in
part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to RHI in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and applicable tax
withholding. 
 (e) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Award so provides, payment may be made in any other form
that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or in any
agreement under the Plan, the Committee may disallow the use of any type of payment that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, would result in adverse accounting or legal consequences to the Company or Affiliate. 
  

	SECTION	9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 

 (a) SAR
Award. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Award between the Optionee and RHI. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the
Plan, including those specified in any other Agreement. The provisions of the various SAR Awards entered into under the Plan need not be identical. A SAR Award may not provide that a new SAR will be granted automatically to the holder thereof when
he or she exercises a prior SAR. 
 (b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Award shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains
and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Plan. 
 (c) Exercise Price.
Each SAR Award shall specify the Exercise Price, which may not be less than 100 percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. A SAR Award may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined
formula while the SAR is outstanding. 
 (d) Exercisability and Term. Unless the SAR Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise,
each SAR shall become exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by such SAR on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not
terminated on the applicable vesting date. The term of the SAR shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant unless the SAR Award provides for a shorter term. A SAR Award may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the
Optionee’s Protiviti Retirement, Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, a Change in Control, or , if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement, and may provide for expiration prior to the
end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service, subject to the provisions of any Other Agreement. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable
unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the
event of a Change in Control. 
 (e) Exercise of SARs. The SAR Award may provide that, upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any
person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from RHI (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash. Unless otherwise provided in the SAR Award or an Other Agreement, upon exercise
of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive Shares from RHI. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be
equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. Unless the SAR Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, SARs which are unvested at the time of an
Optionee’s termination of Service shall expire upon such termination, and any vested SARs which have not been exercised shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of 90 days following such termination and the expiration of the
SAR’s term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if exercise of a SAR during the 90-day period described in the previous sentence would subject the Participant to liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act by reason of transactions by the

  

 10 

 
Participant prior to the Participant’s termination of service, such SAR shall be exercisable until the earliest of (a) its normal termination date
and (b) the 30th day after the first date upon which the Participant would not be subject to Section 16 liability by reason of the prior
transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Optionee’s Misconduct Termination, effective as of the date notice of such termination is given by the Committee to the Optionee, all of the Optionee’s vested and unvested
SARs shall automatically terminate and lapse, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise. 
 (f) Modification or Assumption of
SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding SARs. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his rights or increase his
obligations under such SAR. SARs may not be repriced without the approval of RHI’s stockholders. 
  

	SECTION	10. STOCK UNITS. 

 (a) Stock Unit Award. Each
grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Award between the recipient and RHI. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with
the Plan, including those specified in any Other Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Awards entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 
 (b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients. 
 (c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units shall be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction
of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Award or as specified in any Other Agreement. Unless the Stock Unit Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, each grant of Stock Units shall become exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Shares covered by the grant on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated on the applicable vesting date. A Stock Unit Award may provide for
accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s Protiviti Retirement, Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, a Change in Control, or, if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement.
To the extent that an Award of Stock Units has not vested prior to, or concurrently with, termination of a Participant’s Service, such Award shall immediately terminate. 
 (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded
under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding.
Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not
paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach. 
 (e) Form and Time of Settlement
of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without
limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to
the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred, in accordance with applicable law, to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award
of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Plan. 
 (f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan

  

 11 

 
shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with RHI. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the
prescribed form with RHI at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s
death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate. 
 (g) Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights
other than those of a general creditor of RHI. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of RHI, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Award. 
 (h) Assignment or Transfer of Stock Units. Except as provided herein, or in a Stock Unit Award, or as required by applicable law, Stock Units
shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. Any act in violation of this Subsection shall be void. However,
this Subsection shall not preclude a Participant from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding Stock Units in the event of the Participant’s death, nor shall it preclude a transfer of Stock Units by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. 
  

	SECTION	11. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER 

 A Participant shall
have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for any Shares covered by such award. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in the adjustment provisions of the Plan.

  

	SECTION	12. PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS. 

 (a) Any Award to an
Executive Officer shall be made subject to a Performance Condition with respect to which the Performance Goal shall be Earnings Per Share during the Performance Period in addition to any vesting requirements imposed upon such grant. 
 (b) Awards to persons other than Executive Officers may, but need not, be made subject to a Performance Condition utilizing any Performance Goal in
addition to any vesting requirements imposed upon such grant. The determination as to whether any such grant is subject to a Performance Condition shall be made on or prior to the date of grant. 
 (c) The Performance Condition shall operate as specified in this Section. 
 (d) Except in the case of Awards not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), if an Award is made subject to a Performance Condition, the Committee shall be
required to establish the Performance Period and Target Performance Goal for such award no later than the time permitted by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 (e) After the public release by RHI of its results for the last fiscal quarter of the Performance Period, the Chief Financial Officer shall, with respect
to each Award made subject to a Performance Condition, (a) calculate the Actual Performance Goal, (b) determine the Multiplier, (c) calculate the Final Award, and (d) deliver such calculation to the Committee. 
 (f) The Committee shall review the information submitted by the Chief Financial Officer and certify, in writing, each Final Award. 
 (g) To the extent that a Final Award is less than the Original Award, the difference shall be forfeited by the Participant. The Final Award shall bear
the same vesting schedule as the Original Award, and on each vesting date the percentage of the Final Award that vests shall be the same as the percentage of the Original Award that would have vested had there been no forfeiture as a result of the
Performance Condition. 
  

 12 

 (h) If all or a portion of an Award made subject to a Performance Condition shall vest prior to the
Certification Date by reason of death, Total and Permanent Disability or, if applicable, a Change in Control, then the Performance Condition shall be cancelled and none of such Award shall be subject to reduction or forfeiture as provided by the
Performance Condition. Such Award shall be treated in accordance with the terms of this plan relating to vested shares. 
 (i) If all or a
portion of an Award made subject to a Performance Condition shall vest prior to the Certification Date for any reason other than death, Total and Permanent Disability or a Change in Control, no portion of the Award shall be released to or exercised
by the Participant until after the Certification Date. No such vesting prior to the Certification Date shall in any way be deemed a satisfaction, waiver or cancellation of the Performance Condition, and such Award shall remain subject to reduction
and forfeiture as provided by the Performance Condition. 
 (j) Once established, a Performance Condition for an Executive Officer may not be
waived or cancelled by the Committee. 
  

	SECTION	13. TERMINATION OF SERVICE; LEAVES OF ABSENCE. 

 Subject to the last sentence of this Section, a Participant’s Service shall terminate when such person ceases to be an Eligible Participant as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. A Participant’s Service does not
terminate if he or she is a common-law employee and goes on a bona fide leave of absence of less than six (6) consecutive months that was approved by the Company in writing and the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or
when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, a common-law employee’s Service will be treated as terminating ninety (90) days after such
employee went on leave, unless such employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such employee immediately returns to active work. The
Committee determines which leaves count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Outside Director’s Service shall terminate when he or she is neither a member of the Board of
Directors or a consultant to RHI. 
  

	SECTION	14. DEATH; TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY. 

 All
Awards granted to any Participant shall vest upon such Participant’s death or termination of the Participant’s Service due to Total and Permanent Disability. 
  

	SECTION	15. PERSONS SUBJECT TO SECTION 16 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. 

 Any Award held by an individual who is a Section 16 Participant at either or both of (a) the grant date of such Award or (b) the effective date of the Change in Control, shall vest upon the effective date of such Change in
Control. Any Option or SAR Award held by an individual who is a Section 16 Participant at either or both of (a) the grant date of such Award or (b) the effective date of such individual’s Outside Director Retirement, Protiviti
Retirement or Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, as the case may be, shall vest upon the effective date of such retirement. Any Options or SARs held by a Section 16 Participant which vest by reason of the provisions of this Section or by reason
of death or Total and Permanent Disability shall remain outstanding until the earlier of its exercise or its original term. 
  

	SECTION	16. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. 

 (a) Adjustments.
In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, or stock split or reverse stock split, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on
the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Shares 

  

 13 

 
(by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, liquidation, a spin-off, exchange of shares or
a similar occurrence (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of: 
 (i) The number of Shares, Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available for future Awards under the Plan; 
 (ii) The per person per fiscal year limitations on Awards under the Plan and the maximum aggregate number of ISOs that may be awarded
under the Plan; 
 (iii) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award; 
 (iv) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or 
 (v) The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award which has not yet been settled. 
 Except as provided in this Section, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by RHI of stock of any class or securities convertible into
stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. 
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior
to the dissolution or liquidation of RHI. 
 (c) Reorganizations. In the event that RHI is a party to a merger or other
reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide for: 
 (i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by RHI, if RHI is a surviving corporation; 
 (ii) The assumption of
the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; 
 (iii) The substitution by the surviving
corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards; 
 (iv) Full exercisability or vesting
and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards; or 
 (v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in cash
or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards. 
 (d) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section, a
Participant shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by RHI of shares
of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Exercise Price. The grant of an
Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of RHI to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  

	SECTION	17. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS. 

 RHI may grant awards
under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the
number of Shares available under the Plan. 
  

 14 

	SECTION	18. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. 

 No Option
may be exercised and no Stock may be issued pursuant to an Option or transferred pursuant to a Restricted Share award unless the Committee shall determine that such exercise, issuance or transfer complies with all relevant provisions of law,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable state securities laws, and rules and regulations promulgated under each of the foregoing, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Stock may then be
listed or quotation system upon which the Stock may be quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for RHI with respect to such compliance. If the Stock subject to this Plan is not registered under the Securities Act and under
applicable state securities laws, the Committee may require that the Participant deliver to RHI such documents as counsel for RHI may determine are necessary or advisable in order to substantiate compliance with applicable securities laws and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In no event shall RHI deliver, or be deemed obligated to deliver, cash in lieu of any Share by reason of any failure to satisfy the foregoing provisions. 
 So long as any restrictions or obligations imposed pursuant to this Plan shall apply to a share, each certificate evidencing such share shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions. In addition, RHI may instruct its transfer agent that shares of Stock evidenced by such certificates may not be transferred without the written consent of RHI. Any attempt to
dispose of such shares of Stock in contravention of such terms, conditions and restrictions shall be invalid. Certificates representing shares that have not vested or with respect to which minimum withholding taxes have not been paid will be held in
custody by RHI or such bank or other institution designated by the Committee. 
  

	SECTION	19. WITHHOLDING TAXES. 

 (a) General. To the
extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to RHI for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. RHI
shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. In the event that such withholding taxes are not paid on a timely basis, as determined by RHI in its sole discretion, to the
extent permitted by law RHI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause such withholding taxes to be satisfied by reducing the number of Shares or cash (if applicable) deliverable or by offsetting such withholding taxes against amounts
otherwise due from the Company to the Participant. If withholding taxes are paid by reduction of the number of Shares deliverable to Optionee, such shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise. 
 (b) Share Withholding. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Participant may satisfy all or part of his or her minimum withholding or
income tax obligations by having RHI withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Subject to applicable law and accounting
considerations, such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. A Participant may elect to surrender, or attest to the ownership of, previously acquired Shares in excess of the
amount required to satisfy his or her minimum withholding or income tax obligations provided that such Shares have been held by the Participant for such period of time required to avoid RHI’s recognition of additional compensation expense for
financial reporting purposes as a result of the surrender or attestation of such previously owned shares. 
  

	SECTION	20. NO EMPLOYMENT OR REELECTION RIGHTS. 

 No
provision of the Plan, nor any right or Award granted under the Plan, shall be construed to give any person any right to become, to be treated as, or to remain an Eligible Participant. RHI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to
terminate any person’s Service at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. No provision of the Plan nor any right or Award granted under the Plan shall be construed to create any obligation on the part of the Board of Directors to
nominate any Outside Director for reelection by RHI’s stockholders, or confer upon any Outside Director the right to remain a member of the Board of Directors for any period of time, or at any particular rate of compensation. 
  

 15 

	SECTION	21. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS. 

 (a) Term of the
Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall terminate automatically on the meeting of the stockholders of RHI in 2011, unless re-adopted or extended by RHI’s stockholders prior to or on such date and may be terminated on any earlier date by
the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, as described in the next Subsection. 
 (b) Right to Amend or Terminate the
Plan. The Board of Directors or, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules or regulations, the Compensation Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time. Rights and obligations under any Award granted
before amendment or termination of the Plan shall not be materially impaired by such amendment or termination, except with consent of the person to whom the Award was granted. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of RHI’s
stockholders to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules, including, but not limited to, any applicable rules or regulations of the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, no material amendment may be made to the plan without the
approval of RHI’s stockholders. 
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No Shares shall be issued or sold under the Plan after
the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an Award granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not adversely affect any Shares previously issued or any Awards previously granted under the
Plan. 
  

	SECTION	22. PLAN EFFECTIVENESS. 

 This Plan shall become
effective upon its approval by RHI’s stockholders. Upon its effectiveness, the Plan shall supersede the Existing Equity Plans such that no further awards shall be made under the Existing Equity Plans. This Plan shall not, in any way, affect
awards under the Existing Equity Plans that are outstanding as of the date this Plan becomes effective. If RHI’s stockholders do not approve this Plan, no Awards will be made under this Plan and the Existing Equity Plans will continue in effect
in accordance with their terms.

 Exhibit 10.59 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED ADDENDUM TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 WHEREAS, Section 17 of the Employment Agreement permits the Parties to amend the Employment Agreement and April 2007 Addendum through a written instrument signed by the
Parties; 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, Executive’s continued employment with the Company, and the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein, the Parties hereby agree that the
following terms shall supersede and replace the April 2007 Addendum in its entirety. 
 EMPLOYMENT 
 1.1 Position and Duties: Executive agrees to be employed by and to serve the Company as its Chief Executive Officer and the Company agrees to

Agreement and this Restated Addendum, the Executive may undertake any of the following activities, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities under the Employment

 1

	 	(v)	Executive may participate in conferences, prepare or publish papers or books or teach; and 

  

	 	(vi)	Executive may take on other positions of responsibility, with the approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

 1.3 Location of Employment. Executive’s principal place of employment shall be at a location that is within thirty (30) miles of the

current residence in Hillsborough, California. 
 COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS 
 2.1 Base Salary. For services rendered by Executive under the Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum, the Company shall pay Executive a
base salary of $655,000 per year, less deductions required by law, payable in equal bi-monthly installments. The Board shall review annually Executive’s compensation, and the Board shall adjust Executive’s base salary if the performance of
the Company or the services of the Executive reasonably merit an adjustment; provided, however, that at all times Executive’s base salary shall be no lower than the highest base salary paid by the Company to any other Company employee.

 2.2 Bonus Plan. The Executive shall participate in Company’s management bonus pool, with bonus payments to be determined and
paid based upon written performance objectives to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board. 
 2.3 Equity
Awards. The Company has granted Executive certain options to purchase shares of common stock in the Company (the “Existing Options”). Executive shall also be eligible for additional equity awards from time to time in the future as
shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such vesting, exercisability, and other provisions as the Board may determine in its discretion (the “Future Equity Awards”). Both the
Existing Options and the Future Equity Awards shall be governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable equity plan document(s), grant notice(s) and award agreement(s). 
 2.4 Change of Control Benefits. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 3.9 herein), the vesting of any equity award
granted to Executive prior to the effective date of the Change of Control (whether in the form of an option to purchase shares or shares of restricted stock), including the Existing Options and any Future Equity Awards, shall be accelerated such
that 100% of the shares shall be deemed immediately vested as of the effective date of the Change of Control. 
  

 2 

 2.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for actual and reasonable
business expenses in accordance with Company policy. The Company shall also reimburse Executive for all reasonable legal and accounting expenses and all professional membership dues and continuing professional education in accordance with Company
policy. 
 2.6 Indemnification Agreement. The Company and Executive have entered into an indemnification agreement, the terms and
conditions of which are unaffected by this Restated Addendum. 
 TERMINATION AND SEPARATION PACKAGE 
 3.1 At Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company is “at-will.” This means that
either party may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause. However, any termination of Executive’s employment shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum,
including without limitation, the Company’s obligation to pay and/or provide the severance benefits described herein. 
 3.2
Separation Package for Termination Without Cause and/or Good Reason Resignation. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined below) or if Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (as
defined below), then (in either case) the Company will provide Executive with the following severance benefits: (i) the vesting of any options granted to Executive within the first four years of his employment with the Company (the
“Initial Options”) shall immediately accelerate such that all of the shares subject to the Initial Options shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable as of the date of such termination; (ii) the time period following such
termination during which Executive is permitted to exercise the Initial Options shall be extended by eighteen (18) months beyond the end of the time period for exercise that otherwise would apply in the absence of this extension (but not,
however, beyond the maximum terms of the Initial Options); (iii) the vesting of any Future Equity Awards shall be accelerated such that the awards that would have vested in the twenty-four (24) months following Executive’s last day of
employment shall be deemed immediately vested as of Executive’s last day of employment; (iv) the Company shall pay Executive, in one lump sum, twenty-four (24) months of Executive’s then current base salary (subject to standard
payroll deductions and withholdings)(with such payment to be made within fifteen days after the effective date of the release referenced in Section 3.4 below); and (v) the Company will pay the premiums necessary to continue
Executive’s health insurance benefits for Executive and his family for the eighteen (18) months following Executive’s last day of employment at the same level of benefits and the same cost to Executive as existed immediately before
Executive’s last day of employment and will, at the end of such period, pay to Executive a lump sum cash amount equal to the cost of such coverage (as determined at the time of his employment termination) for an additional six (6) months,
provided that Executive has elected continuation of coverage under federal COBRA and analogous state law such that continuation of coverage shall be considered to have been provided pursuant to such laws. The benefits set forth in this
Section 3.2 are referred to as the “Separation Package.” Executive shall not be entitled to any other severance benefits from the Company other than those expressly set forth herein, including any severance benefits under the
Company’s Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan. 
  

 3 

 3.3 Additional Severance Benefit for Termination Without Cause and/or Good Reason Resignation
Following A Change of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined below) or if Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined below), and (in either event) such
termination occurs within twelve months following the effective date of a Change of Control (as defined herein), then in addition to the Separation Package, Executive shall also receive a lump sum payment equal to two times Executive’s target
bonus for the year in which Executive’s termination occurred, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. This amount shall be paid within fifteen days after the effective date of the release referenced in Section 3.4.

 3.4 Release. As a condition to receipt of any severance benefits under the Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum,
Executive shall be required to provide the Company with an effective general release of any and all known and unknown claims against the Company and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, successors, agents, and
affiliates in a form acceptable to the Company. 
 3.5 Termination For Cause and/or Resignation Without Good Reason. If the Company
terminates Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined below) or Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason (as defined below), Executive shall not receive any severance benefits from the Company, including (without limitation)
the Separation Package. For purposes of the Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum, a resignation tendered by Executive pursuant to a direct request of the Board where no Cause exists shall be deemed an involuntary termination without
Cause, and Executive shall be entitled to the Separation Package. 
 3.6 Benefits. Following termination, Executive shall cease to be
a Company employee and shall not be entitled to any benefits other than the severance benefits set forth herein. 
 3.7 Cause.
“Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s willful refusal or willful failure to comply with a lawful instruction of the Board, or (ii) Executive’s conviction of any felony involving an act of moral turpitude. The Company may
not terminate Executive for Cause under subsection (i) above unless the Company gives Executive written notice of its intent to terminate Executive for Cause with an explicit written explanation for all reasons for the for Cause termination,
and the Company, in good faith, permits Executive thirty (30) days to cure the alleged wrongs. If the Executive cures the alleged wrongs within thirty (30) days of such notice, he cannot be terminated for Cause. 
 3.8 Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean (i) the material reduction or material modification of Executive’s authority,
duties, title or responsibilities without his prior written consent, provided that a change in the number of persons reporting to the Executive shall not, by itself, constitute Good Reason, or (ii) the material reduction or material
modification of Executive’s base salary, Executive’s stock option rights as set forth in the Employment 

  

 4 

 
Agreement or this Restated Addendum or employee benefits without his prior written consent, or (iii) any requirement that Executive move his principal
place of employment more than thirty (30) miles from the Company’s current headquarters unless the relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment by more than thirty (30) miles results in moving his principal place of
employment closer to the Executive’s current resident in Hillsborough, California. Executive shall give the Company written notice of his intent to resign for Good Reason (“Notice of Good Reason”) thirty (30) days before the date
he will terminate his employment (“Good Reason Termination Date”). In the event the Company disputes that Executive has Good Reason, the Company shall inform Executive in writing before the Good Reason Termination Date of every reason that
the Company disputes Executive’s Good Reason claim. In the event that the Company disputes the existence of Good Reason, Executive, at his sole discretion, shall have the right to withdraw his notice of intent to resign for Good Reason and to
continue his employment under the same terms and conditions as if no Notice of Good Reason had been given. 
 3.9 Change of Control.
“Change of Control” shall mean (i) any event in which the Company sells, transfers, or disposes of by other means all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (or consummation of any transaction having similar effect), or
(ii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or (iii) any merger, consolidation or transfer of securities of the Company with, to or into another corporation, entity or person, other than a merger, consolidation or transfer of
securities in which the holders of more than 50% of the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continue to hold (either by the voting securities remaining outstanding or by their being converted into
voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company, or such surviving entity, outstanding immediately after such transaction. 
 3.10 Death. In the event of Executive’s death while Executive is an employee of the Company, the Company shall pay the Separation Package set
forth in Section 3.2 of this Restated Addendum to Executive’s heirs. 
 3.11 Disability. In the event of Executive’s
Disability for any period of at least six consecutive months while Executive is an employee of the Company, the Company shall have the right, which may be exercised in its sole discretion, to terminate Executive. In the event the Company elects to
terminate Executive, the Company shall pay Executive the Separation Package set forth in Section 3.2 of this Restated Addendum. For purposes of this Restated Addendum, “Disability” shall mean the inability of Executive to perform the
employment services called for in the Employment Agreement or this Restated Addendum by reason of physical or mental illness or incapacity as determined by a physician chosen by Executive and reasonably satisfactory to Company or its legal
representative. 
 3.12 Parachute Payments. 
  

	 	(i)	 Best After-Tax Result. If any payment or benefit Executive is to receive under this Restated Addendum would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, or any comparable federal, state, or local excise tax (such excise taxes, together with any interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then 

  

 5 

	 	 
Executive shall be entitled to receive the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the payment that
would result in no portion of the payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment
taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the payment
may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless Executive elects in
writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the date on which the event that triggers the payment occurs): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated
vesting of stock awards; and reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of
Executive’s stock awards unless Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be permitted to elect to reduce any payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments,”
even if the provisions of this Section 3.12 would not otherwise require such reduction, provided that such election is made in writing prior to the date of the event that triggers the payments or benefits (or, if made on or after such date, is
approved by the Company). 

  

	 	(ii)	Use of Third Party Expert. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for the purpose of rendering general tax advice as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change
in Control shall perform the calculations required by this Section 3.12. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity, or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company
shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm
engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a
Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Company or Executive) or such other time as requested by the Company or Executive. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a payment to Executive, it
shall furnish the Company and Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding,
and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. 

 3.13 Application of Section 409A. If the portion of the
Separation Package set forth in clause (iv) of Section 3.2 or the additional severance benefit set forth in Section 3.3 fails to satisfy the distribution requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code as a result of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, the payment of such amounts shall be delayed to the minimum extent necessary so that such amounts are not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, but in no event will the Company
be obligated to pay any additional amount on account of such delay. That portion of the Separation Package set forth in clause (v) of Section 3.2 shall be regarded as two separate “payments” for purposes of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), the first providing for eighteen (18) months of premium payments, followed 

  

 6 

 
by the second providing for a lump sum payment equal to six (6) months of premium payments (determined at the time of employment termination); the
former shall be treated as a reimbursement of medical expenses for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B), and the latter shall be treated as a payment of deferred compensation in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.409A-3(a)(1) and 1.409A-3(b). 
 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS 
 4.1 Entire Agreement. The Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum contain the full, complete, and exclusive embodiment of the entire
agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior communications, representations, or agreements, oral or written, and all negotiations and communications between the parties relating to the Employment
Agreement and this Restated Addendum (including the Original Addendum and the April 2007 Addendum). Executive represents that he has not entered into this Restated Addendum in reliance on any representations, written or oral, other than those
contained herein. Any ambiguity in this document shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. 
 4.2 Successors, Binding
Agreement. The Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum shall not automatically be terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any merger or consolidation, whether or not the Company is the surviving or
resulting corporation, or upon any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. In the event of any such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets, the provisions of the Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the surviving or resulting corporation, or the corporation to which such assets shall have been transferred, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Company will require any successor to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform the Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum 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. 
 4.3 No Mitigation. Executive shall have no
duty to mitigate any breach of the Employment Agreement and/or this Restated Addendum.

Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum are for convenience only and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of the Employment Agreement and this Restated Addendum.

recognized overnight express delivery service, and shall be made to the Company’s principal place of business, attention Legal Department, and to the Executive’s residence. 
 4.6 Facsimile Signatures. This Restated Addendum may be entered into by facsimile signatures, and in counterparts, all of which taken together
shall constitute one original agreement.
