      Re:       Terms of Transition
    

    
      Dear Geoff:
    

    
      This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and
      Yelp Inc. (“Yelp” or the “Company”) sets
      forth the terms of your transition from Yelp in connection with the
      notice you provided on August 5, 2016 of your intent to resign as Yelp’s
      Chief Operating Officer.  
    

    
      1.       Transition Period.  Your
      last day of regular employment as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer
      will be August 9, 2016 (the “Regular End Date”).  After
      that date, you agree to make yourself available, as requested by Yelp
      from time to time, in an advisory capacity (the “Transition
      Period”).  You will remain a full-time employee during the
      Transition Period, which will end on March 9, 2017.  The actual last day
      of your employment with Yelp is your “Separation Date,” and
      is intended to be the date when your Transition Period ends, but may be
      an earlier date if your employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 6
      below.
    

    
      2.       Compensation.  You
      will continue to be paid your current base salary ($1.00 annually)
      through the Separation Date.  However, you agree that, after the Regular
      End Date, you will cease accruing paid time off (“PTO”),
      having access to Company-paid parking and earning any additional
      benefits except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement or as
      required by law.  Yelp will pay you any PTO that you accrue through the
      Regular End Date, and compensation that you earn through the Separation
      Date, subject to Yelp’s standard payroll practices.
    

    
      3.       Equity Awards. After
      the Separation Date, the terms of the awards you have been granted under
      the Company’s equity plans, including your right to exercise vested
      stock options, will continue to be governed by the terms of your
      operative agreements with Yelp and the applicable equity plans.  For
      purposes of such equity plans and agreements, Yelp agrees that your
      continued service on the board of directors of Yelp Inc. after the
      Separation Date will satisfy the “Continuous Service” requirement for
      continued vesting of your awards.
    

    
      4.       Benefits.  Your group
      health insurance coverage will remain in effect until the last day of
      the month in which the Separation Date occurs.  Yelp will continue to
      pay, on your behalf, the portion of your health insurance premium that
      would ordinarily be deducted from your paycheck through such date.
    

    
      5.       Subsidiary and Affiliate
      Positions.  Your signature below constitutes your resignation as an
      officer and director of all subsidiaries and affiliates of Yelp that you
      hold as a result of your service as Chief Operating Officer (but does
      not apply to your service on the board of directors of Yelp Inc.).  Such
      resignation will be effective as of the Separation Date, and you agree
      that you will take any and all actions necessary to ensure an orderly
      transition of such positions.
    

    
      6.      Termination.  The
      Transition Period (and your employment) may be terminated at any time if
      (a) you resign, or (b) Yelp terminates your employment due to your (i)
      material breach of Yelp policy or procedure or other misconduct, (ii)
      material breach of any written agreement with Yelp, including, but not
      limited to, this Agreement, or (iii) failure to perform your job duties
      as assigned to you in a timely and satisfactory manner during the
      Transition Period.  In the event of an Early Termination, you will
      receive no further compensation or benefits from Yelp other than as
      expressly provided herein or as required by applicable law.  Nothing in
      this Agreement is intended to affect the at-will status of your
      employment with Yelp.

      Plan established effective January 6, 2012 (the “Severance Plan”),

      9.       Release of Claims.
    

    
         a.    General Release.  You
      hereby generally and completely release Yelp and its predecessors,
      successors, affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, as well as each
      of their current and former directors, officers, employees,

      benefits, stock, stock options, restricted stock units or any other
      ownership interests in Yelp; (iii) all claims for breach of contract,
      wrongful termination and breach of the implied covenant of good faith
      and fair dealing; (iv) all tort claims, including, without limitation,
      claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress and discharge in
      violation of public policy; and (v) all federal, state and local
      statutory claims, including, without limitation, claims for
      discrimination, harassment, retaliation, privacy, attorneys’ fees, or
      other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, the

      Act, the Wage Orders of the California Industrial Welfare Commission, in
      each case as amended, and, in each case, similar laws in other
      jurisdictions.  If, notwithstanding the above, you are awarded any money
      or other relief under such a claim, you hereby assign the money or other
      relief to Yelp.
    

    
         c.    Excluded Claims.  Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the following are not included in the Released Claims
      (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”): (i) any rights or
      claims for indemnification you may have pursuant to any written
      indemnification agreement with Yelp to which you are a party, the
      certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Yelp, or under applicable
      law; (ii) any rights that are not waivable as a matter of law; and (iii)
      any rights you have under this Agreement.  In addition, nothing in this
      Agreement prevents you from filing, cooperating with or participating in
      any proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the
      Department of Labor or the California Department of Fair Employment and
      Housing, except that you hereby waive your right to any monetary

      regard to any claim released herein.

        d.     ADEA Waiver.  You
      acknowledge that you are knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing
      any rights you may have under the ADEA (“ADEA Waiver”), and
      that the benefits given under this Agreement for the ADEA Waiver are in
      addition to anything of value to which you were already entitled.  You
      further acknowledge that you have been advised by this writing, as
      required by the ADEA, that: (i) your ADEA Waiver does not apply to any
      rights or claims that may arise after the date you sign this Agreement;
      (ii) you should consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement
      (although you may choose voluntarily not to do so); (iii) you have
      twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement (although you may choose
      voluntarily to sign this Agreement earlier); (iv) you have seven (7)
      days following the date you sign this Agreement to revoke the Agreement
      by providing written notice to Yelp; and (v) this Agreement will not be
      effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired,
      which will be the eighth day after you sign this Agreement (the “Effective
      Date”).
    

    
      10.     Section 1542 Waiver.  In
      giving the releases herein, which include claims that may be unknown to
      you at present, you acknowledge that you have read and understand
      Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:
    

    
      “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
      know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing
      the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected
      his or her settlement with the debtor.”
    

    
      You hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under
      that section and any law of any other jurisdiction of similar effect
      with respect to your release of claims herein, including, but not
      limited to, your release of unknown claims.
    

    
      11.    Return of Yelp Property and Information.  You
      agree to search diligently to locate all Yelp documents, materials,
      information, communications and other Yelp property that you control or
      have had in your possession at any time, including, without limitation,
      (a) all Yelp confidential and proprietary information and (b) any
      materials or information on your personal computer, server and e-mail
      system (collectively, “Yelp Property”).  You agree to
      return all Yelp Property and copies thereof no later than the Separation
      Date, or destroy them if Yelp requests; provided, however, that Yelp
      agrees to provide you with continued access to and limited use of your
      Yelp e-mail account (not to conduct Yelp business without prior approval
      by Yelp) until the Separation Date.
    

    
      12.    Non-Disparagement.  You agree that you
      will not (a) disrupt, or take any action that could reasonably be
      expected to disrupt, any aspect of Yelp’s business or operations, or (b)
      disparage, criticize, or otherwise take actions that could reasonably be
      expected to harm the reputation of, or lead to unwanted or unfavorable
      publicity for, Yelp, its subsidiaries and affiliates, or any of their
      respective current or former officers, directors, management, clients,
      users, products or services, except for truthful statements that are
      expressly required by law.  You agree to submit to Yelp, and Yelp agrees
      to review, prior to publication, any book, memoir, article or other work
      authored by you, published under your name or otherwise created at your
      direction, relating to Yelp, to discuss and determine in good faith
      whether such material violates the prohibitions contained in this
      Paragraph 12. Yelp agrees (through its officers and directors) not to
      disparage, criticize, or otherwise take actions that could reasonably be
      expected to harm your business or professional reputation, except for
      truthful statements that are expressly required by law.

      13.    Representations.  You hereby
      represent that (a) you have been paid all compensation owed and for all
      hours worked, and, as to any further alleged wages, you agree that there
      is a good-faith dispute as to whether such wages are due, and based on
      this good-faith dispute, you release and waive any and all further
      claims regarding unpaid wages and any corresponding penalties, interest
      or attorneys’ fees, in exchange for the benefits provided by this
      Agreement; (b) you have received all the leave and leave benefits and
      protections for which you are eligible, pursuant to the Family and
      Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act or otherwise; and
      (c) have not suffered any on-the-job injury for which you have not
      already filed a workers’ compensation claim.
    

    
      14.    Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute,
      claim or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to
      this Agreement (including any other agreement(s) contemplated
      hereunder), including, without limitation, any action or claim based on
      tort, contract or statute, or concerning the interpretation, performance
      or execution of this Agreement, will be resolved by confidential, final
      and binding arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and
      Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in San Francisco,
      California, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with JAMS’
      then-applicable arbitration rules.  You acknowledge that by
      agreeing to this arbitration procedure, you and Yelp waive the right to
      resolve any such dispute, claim or demand through a trial by jury or
      judge or by administrative proceeding.  You will have the right to
      be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding.  The
      arbitrator will: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for
      the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would
      otherwise be available under applicable law in a court proceeding; and
      (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the
      disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each
      claim, the reasons for the award and the arbitrator’s essential findings
      and conclusions on which the award is based.  Yelp will bear all JAMS
      fees for the arbitration.  Nothing in this Agreement will prevent any of
      the parties from obtaining injunctive relief in court if necessary to
      prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any arbitration.  Any
      awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as
      judgments in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    

    
      15.    Miscellaneous.  This Agreement
      constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire
      agreement between you and Yelp with regard to its subject matter.  It is
      entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written
      or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes
      any other such promises, warranties or representations (including your
      employment offer letter and the Severance Plan).  This Agreement may not
      be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both you and a duly
      authorized officer of Yelp.  This Agreement will bind the heirs,
      personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and Yelp,
      and inure to the benefit of both you and Yelp, their heirs, successors
      and assigns.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
      invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will
      not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in
      question will be modified so as to be rendered enforceable to the
      fullest extent permitted by law.  This Agreement will be deemed to have
      been entered into and will be construed and enforced in accordance with
      the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws
      principles.  Any ambiguity in this Agreement will not be construed
      against either party as the drafter.  Any waiver of a breach of this
      Agreement must be in writing to be effective and will not be deemed to
      be a waiver of any successive or other breach.  This Agreement may be
      executed in counterparts, and facsimile and electronic image signatures
      will be equivalent to original signatures

2016 EQUITY PLAN 
 SECTION
1. GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE PLAN; DEFINITIONS 
 The name of the plan is the WisdomTree Investments, Inc. 2016 Equity Plan (the
“Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and enable the officers, employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries upon whose judgment, initiative and
efforts the Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its businesses to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company’s welfare will assure a closer
identification of their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company. 

The following terms shall be defined as set forth below: 

“Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. 

“Administrator” means either the Board or the compensation committee of the Board or a similar committee performing the
functions of the compensation committee and which is comprised of not less than two Non-Employee Directors who are independent. 

“Award” or “Awards,” except where referring to a particular category of grant under the Plan, shall include
Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Awards, Unrestricted Stock Awards, Cash-Based Awards, Performance Share Awards and Dividend Equivalent Rights. 

“Award Certificate” means a written or electronic document setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to an Award
granted under the Plan. Each Award Certificate is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. 
 “Board” means
the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 “Cash-Based Award” means an Award entitling the recipient to receive a
cash-denominated payment. 
 “Cause” means the termination of employment of a grantee of an Award by the Company for
a reason defined by the Administrator as being for cause for purposes of this Plan. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if a grantee of an Award is a party to a written agreement embodying the material terms of his or her employment by the Company and
“cause” has been defined thereunder, the definition of “cause” contained in such written agreement shall control. 

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any successor Code, and related rules, regulations and
interpretations. 
 “Consultant” means any natural person that provides bona fide services to the Company, and such
services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities. 

 “Covered Employee” means an employee who is a “Covered Employee”
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 “Disability” means physical or mental impairment as
determined under procedures established by the Administrator for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if a grantee of an Award is a party to a written agreement embodying the material terms of his or her employment by the Company and
“disability” has been defined thereunder, the definition of “disability” contained in such written agreement shall control. 

“Dividend Equivalent Right” means an Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have
been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to and held by the grantee. 

“Effective Date” means the date on which the Plan becomes effective as set forth in Section 21. 

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

	 	SECTION 2.	ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN; ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY TO SELECT GRANTEES AND DETERMINE AWARDS 

(a) Administration of Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. 

(b) Powers of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan,
including the power and authority: 
 (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted; 

(ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any, of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Unrestricted Stock Awards, Cash-Based Awards, Performance Share Awards and Dividend Equivalent Rights, or any combination of the foregoing, granted to any one or more grantees;

 (iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by any Award; 

(iv) to determine and modify from time to time the terms and conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan,
of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, and to approve the forms of Award Certificates; 

(v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award, including in circumstances involving the
grantee’s death, Disability, Normal Retirement or termination of employment, or, as provided in Section 3(g), a change in control (including a Sale Event); 

(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(c), to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; and 

(vii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and
proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written instruments); to make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes
arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. 
 All decisions and interpretations of the
Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees. 
 (c) Delegation of Authority to Grant
Awards. Subject to applicable law, the Administrator, in its discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company all or part of the Administrator’s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards to
individuals who are (i) not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (ii) not Covered Employees. Any such delegation by the Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount of Stock
underlying Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any
time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Administrator’s delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan. 

  
 5 

 (d) Award Certificate. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Certificates that
set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include, without limitation, the term of an Award and the provisions applicable in the event employment or service terminates. 

(e) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any
act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Administrator (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and
reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Company’s
articles or bylaws or any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company. 

(f) Foreign Award Recipients. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other
countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for Awards, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be
covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with
applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Administrator determines such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall
be attached to this Plan as appendices); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that
the Administrator determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards
shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act or any other applicable United States securities law, the Code, or any other applicable United States governing statute or law. 

(g) Minimum Vesting Condition. Participants who are granted Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, will be required to continue to
provide services to the Company (or an affiliate) for not less than one year following the date of grant in order for any such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to fully or partially vest or be exercisable (other than in case of death,
Disability or a change in control (including a Sale Event)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to five percent (5%) of the available shares of Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a) may provide for vesting of
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, partially or in full, in less than one-year. 
 SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN;
MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION 
 (a) Stock Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3, the maximum number of
shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 10,000,000 shares less one (1) share for every one (1) share subject to an award granted under any Prior Plan after March 31, 2016. After the Effective Date
of the Plan, no awards may be granted under any Prior Plan. 
 (b) For purposes of the foregoing limitation, the shares of Stock underlying
any Awards, or any Prior Plan awards that are outstanding after March 31, 2016, that are forfeited, canceled, cash-settled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for

  
 6 

 
issuance under the Plan. In the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from an Award other than a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or, after March 31, 2016, an award other
than a stock option or stock appreciation right under any Prior Plan, are satisfied by the tendering of Stock (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Stock by the Company, the Stock so tendered or withheld shall be added to the
shares of Stock available for Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following shares shall not be added to the shares authorized for grant under the Plan: (i) shares tendered or withheld upon exercise of an Option
or Stock Appreciation Right to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, and (ii) shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise thereof.
In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such
maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however, that Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to no more than 2,000,000 shares of Stock may be granted to any one individual grantee during any one calendar
year period, and no more than 10,000,000 shares of the Stock may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock, treasury Stock or shares of Stock
reacquired by the Company. 
 (c) Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan, nor shall
shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the shares of Stock available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 3 (b) above. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which
the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such
pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of
the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and shares subject to such Awards shall not be added to the shares available for Awards
under the Plan as provided in Section 3 (b) above); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or
combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors prior to such acquisition or combination. 
 (d)
Maximum Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the value of all Awards granted under this Plan and all other cash fees paid by the Company to any Non-Employee Director in any calendar year
shall not exceed $750,000. For the purpose of this limitation, the value of any Award shall be its grant date fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718 or successor provision. 

(e) Effect of Awards. The grant of any full value Award, an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed, for purposes of
determining the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under Section 3(a), as an Award of one share of Stock for each such share of Stock actually subject to the Award. Any permitted addbacks under Section 3(b) for
(i) forfeitures, cancellations, cash-settlement or other terminations (other than by exercise) of such Awards and Prior Plan awards and (ii) shares of Stock tendered or withheld for taxes on Awards (other than Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights) and Prior Plan awards (other than options and stock appreciation rights) shall be returned to the reserved pool of shares of Stock under the Plan in the same manner. 

  
 7 

 (f) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(g) hereof, if, as a result of any
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other
securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or
a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that may be issued in the
form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that can be granted to any one individual grantee and the maximum number of shares that may be granted under a Performance-Based Award,
(iii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iv) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (v) the exercise price
for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the
terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares
of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares. 

(g) Mergers and Other Transactions. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the parties thereto may cause the
assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if
appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and
all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Certificate, the Administrator, in its discretion, (i) may determine to accelerate the vesting
of all outstanding Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions immediately prior to their termination as of the effective time of the Sale Event; (ii) may determine to accelerate the vesting of all Awards with conditions and
restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals immediately prior to their termination upon the effective time of the Sale Event or to the extent specified in the relevant Award Certificate; and/or (iii) make or provide for a
payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding Awards in an amount equal to value of the Awards (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator). 

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY 

Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of the Company and
its Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 

  
 8 

 SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS 

(a) Award of Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Stock Options under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be
in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. 
 Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock
Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that
any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 Stock Options granted pursuant
to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so
determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish. 

(b) Exercise Price. Other than in connection with Substitute Awards, the exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock
Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is
granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. 

(c) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than
ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of a Stock Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) (i) the exercise of the Option is prohibited by applicable law or (ii) Stock may not be purchased or sold by certain
employees or directors of the Company due to the “black-out period” of a Company policy or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term of the Stock Option shall be
extended for a period of thirty (30) days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement (unless doing so would be impermissible under Section 409A). 

(d) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in
installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. 

(e) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the
Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods except to the extent otherwise provided in the Option Award Certificate: 

(i) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; 

  
 9 

 (ii) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the
Company may prescribe) of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; 

(iii) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with
such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or 

(iv) With respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the
Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. 

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares
of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase
price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award Certificate or applicable provisions of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with
respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option
shall be net of the number of attested shares. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or
interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system. 
 (f)
Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed
$100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 (g) Termination by
Reason of Death. If an optionee’s employment by the Company terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon
automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the optionee under the will of the optionee, for a
period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Administrator may specify in the Option Award Certificate) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

 (h) Termination by Reason of Disability. If an optionee’s employment by the Company terminates by reason of Disability, any
Stock Option held by such optionee, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Award Certificate, shall thereupon automatically 

  
 10 

 
terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the optionee for a period of one year (or such other greater or
lesser period as the Administrator may specify in the Option Award Certificate) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. 

(i) Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Award Certificate, if an
optionee’s employment or retention by, or association with, the Company terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the Holder’s employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause or due to Normal Retirement, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment or
the balance of such Stock Option’s term. 
 SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

(a) Award of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right
is an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number
of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. 
 (b) Exercise Price of Stock
Appreciation Rights. Other than in connection with Substitute Awards, the exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant. 

(c) Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any
Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan. 
 (d) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined on the date of grant by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event
that on the last business day of the term of a Stock Appreciation Right (x) the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right is prohibited by applicable law or (y) Stock may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors of the
Company due to the “black-out period” of a Company policy or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term shall be extended for a period of thirty (30) days following
the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement (unless doing so would be impermissible under Section 409A). The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and
conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. 
 SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is
any Award of Restricted Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of
pre-established performance goals and objectives. 

  
 11 

 (b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of
any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Shares and receipt of all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole
discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Stock with respect to such Restricted Shares; provided that, other than regular cash dividends and other cash
equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock Award (and
such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock Award) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such Retained Distributions
shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested (or, if the Restricted Stock Award is tied to the attainment of performance goals, such performance goals have been met) and with respect to which the applicable restriction period
shall have expired. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Shares shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to
forfeiture until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in
Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe. 

(c) Restrictions. Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as
specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a
grantee’s employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Shares that have not vested at the time of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of
notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been forfeited. 
 (d) Vesting of Restricted
Shares. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Shares and the
Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall
no longer be Restricted Shares and shall be deemed “vested.” 
 SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit is an
Award of stock units that may be settled in shares of Stock upon the satisfaction of such restrictions and conditions at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of
pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. Except in the case of Restricted
Stock Units with a deferred settlement date that complies with Section 409A, at the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock. Restricted Stock Units with
deferred settlement dates are subject to Section 409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. 

  
 12 

 (b) Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation. The Administrator
may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of an award of Restricted Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be
delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any such future cash compensation that the grantee elects
to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee if such payment had not been deferred as provided herein. The
Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any Restricted Stock
Units that are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate. 

(c) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon
settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the stock units underlying his Restricted Stock Units, subject to the provisions of Section 11 and such
terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine. 
 (d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator
either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination
of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 
 SECTION 9. UNRESTRICTED
STOCK AWARDS 
 Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. The Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price
determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards only
may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee. 
 SECTION 10.
CASH-BASED AWARDS 
 Grant of Cash-Based Awards. The Administrator may grant Cash-Based Awards under the Plan. A Cash-Based
Award is an Award that entitles the grantee to a payment in cash upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals. The Administrator shall determine the maximum duration of the Cash-Based Award, the amount of cash to which the Cash-Based Award
pertains, the conditions upon which the Cash-Based Award shall become vested or payable, and such other provisions as the Administrator shall determine. Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges
as determined by the Administrator. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash. 

  
 13 

 SECTION 11. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS 

(a) Nature of Performance Share Awards. The Administrator may grant Performance Share Awards under the Plan. A Performance Share Award
is an Award entitling the grantee to receive shares of Stock upon the attainment of performance goals. The Administrator shall determine whether and to whom Performance Share Awards shall be granted, the performance goals, the periods during which
performance is to be measured, which may not be less than one year except in the case of a Sale Event, and such other limitations and conditions as the Administrator shall determine. 

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee receiving a Performance Share Award shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares of
Stock actually received by the grantee under the Plan and not with respect to shares subject to the Award but not actually received by the grantee. A grantee shall be entitled to receive shares of Stock under a Performance Share Award only upon
satisfaction of all conditions specified in the Performance Share Award Certificate (or in a performance plan adopted by the Administrator). 

(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 18
below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Performance Share Awards shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its
Subsidiaries for any reason. 
 SECTION 12. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES 

(a) Performance-Based Awards. The Administrator may grant one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a Restricted Stock Award,
Restricted Stock Units, Performance Share Awards or Cash-Based Award payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date
or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for any Performance Cycle. Depending on the
Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance or the performance of a division, business unit, or an individual. Each Performance-Based Award shall
comply with the provisions set forth below. 
 (b) Grant of Performance-Based Awards. With respect to each Performance-Based Award
granted to a Covered Employee, the Administrator shall select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the Performance Criteria for such grant, and the
Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-Based Award will specify the amount payable, or the
formula for determining the amount payable, upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The Performance Criteria established by the Administrator may be (but need not be) different for each Performance Cycle and different
Performance Goals may be applicable to Performance-Based Awards to different Covered Employees. 
 (c) Payment of Performance-Based
Awards. Following the completion of a Performance Cycle, the Administrator shall meet to review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate
and certify in writing the amount of the Performance-Based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The Administrator shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee’s Performance-Based Award. 

  
 14 

 (d) Maximum Award. The maximum Performance-Based Award that may be granted in a calendar
year to any one Covered Employee under the Plan is 2,000,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(f) hereof) or $20,000,000 in the case of a Performance-Based Award that is a Cash-Based Award. 

SECTION 13. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS 

(a) Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an
Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A
Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an award of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Share Award or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified
in the Award Certificate. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such
reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or
a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Share Award shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled
only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, no Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be granted with respect to any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 (b)
Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall
automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 

SECTION 14. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS 

(a) Transferability. Except as provided in Section 14(b) below, during a grantee’s lifetime, his or her Awards shall be
exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee’s incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be
null and void. 
 (b) Administrator Action. Notwithstanding Section 14(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide
either in the Award Certificate regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the
benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable
Award. In no event may an Award be transferred by a grantee for value. 

  
 15 

 (c) Family Member. For purposes of Section 14(b), “family member” shall
mean a grantee’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
relationships, any person sharing the grantee’s household (other than a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the
grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests. 

(d) Designation of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Company, each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may
designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not
be effective until received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate. 

SECTION 15. TAX WITHHOLDING 

(a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts
received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of
any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the
grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee. 

(b) Payment in Stock. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee may elect to have the minimum required tax withholding (or, if
permitted by the Company, such higher tax withholding as will not result in liability classification of the Awards under ASC 718 or a successor provision and is permitted under applicable IRS withholding rules) obligation satisfied, in whole or in
part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due.
The Administrator may also require Awards to be subject to mandatory share withholding up to the required withholding amount. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair Market Value of withheld shares shall be determined in the same manner as the
value of Stock includible in income of the Participants. 
 SECTION 16. SECTION 409A AWARDS 

To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A
(a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is
payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to
the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to
interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any such Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A. 

  
 16 

 SECTION 17. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC. 

(a) Termination of Employment. If the grantee’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary, the grantee shall be deemed to have terminated
employment for purposes of the Plan. 
 (b) For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:

 (i) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another;
or 
 (ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the
employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing. 

SECTION 18. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION 

The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the
purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. Except as provided in Section 3(f) or 3(g), without prior
stockholder approval, in no event may the Administrator exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, cancel underwater Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (i.e., when the
exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value) in exchange for cash or other Awards or take any other action with respect to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the
principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Stock is listed. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Stock is listed, to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required
by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, or to ensure that compensation earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of
the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 18 shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to
Section 3(f) or 3(g). 
 SECTION 19. STATUS OF PLAN 

With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a
grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may
authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the
foregoing sentence. 
 SECTION 20. GENERAL PROVISIONS 

(a) No Distribution. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the
Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. 

  
 17 

 (b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall
be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the
Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the
grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the Administrator deems
such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of
Stock are listed, quoted or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign
jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the
terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any
such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation,
as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator. 
 (c) Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or an
Award Certificate, until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 20(b), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in connection with an Award,
notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award. 
 (d) Other Compensation
Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only
in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 

(e) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading
policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time. 
 (f) Clawback Policy. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the
Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time. 

  
 18 

 SECTION 21. TERM OF PLAN 

(a) Effective Date. This Plan was approved by the Board on March 31, 2016 and will become effective upon approval by the
Company’s stockholders (the “Effective Date”). No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder after
the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan was approved by the Board. 
 (b) Termination Date. Unless terminated by the Board, this
Plan shall continue to remain effective until such time as no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. 

SECTION 22. GOVERNING LAW 

This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York, applied without regard to conflict of law principles; provided, however, that all matters relating to or involving corporate law shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
