 Exhibit 10.1 

FAMOUS DAVE’S OF AMERICA, INC. 

2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

(Effective May 5, 2015, pursuant to Section 11.8) 

1. General. 
 1.1
Purpose. The purpose of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Famous Dave’s of America, Inc. (the “Company”) is to increase stockholder value and to advance the interests of the Company by
furnishing a variety of economic incentives (“Incentives”) designed to attract, retain and motivate Employees, certain key consultants and directors of the Company. Incentives may consist of opportunities to purchase or receive
shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) on terms determined under this Plan. 

1.2 Eligible Participants. Employees, Directors and Consultants are eligible to receive Incentives. Participants may be designated
individually or by groups or categories (for example, by pay grade) as the Committee deems appropriate. Participation by officers of the Company or its subsidiaries and any performance objectives relating to such officers must be approved by the
Committee. Participation by others and any performance objectives relating to others may be approved by groups or categories (for example, by pay grade) and authority to designate participants who are not officers and to set or modify such targets
may be delegated. 
 1.3 Types of Incentives. Incentives under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of the following
forms: (a) Incentive Stock Options and non-statutory stock options (Section 4); (b) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) (Section 5); (c) stock awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards (Section
6); (d) performance awards (Section 7), and (e) other forms of Incentives valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, including the appreciation in value thereof (with the Board having sole and complete
authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such other forms of Incentives will be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted and all other terms and conditions of such
other Incentives. Subject to the specific limitations provided in this Plan, payment of Incentives may also be in the form of cash, Common Stock or combinations thereof as the Board shall determine, and with such other restrictions as it may impose.

 1.4 Status of Prior Plan. The Plan is intended as a new equity incentive plan that is separate from the Company’s 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). Following the Effective Date, no additional Incentives may be granted under the Prior Plan. Any shares of Common Stock that are set aside under the Prior Plan’s share reserve but which are not
subject to any outstanding Incentives under the Prior Plan as of 12:01 a.m. Central Standard Time on the Effective Date (the “Prior Plan’s Available Reserve”) will cease to be available for use under the Prior Plan at such time
and will be added to this Plan’s Share Reserve (as further described in Section 3.1) and be then immediately available for issuance pursuant to Incentives. In addition, from and after 12:01 a.m. Central Standard Time on the Effective Date,
all outstanding Incentives granted under the Prior Plan will remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plan. All Incentives granted on or after 12:01 a.m. Central Standard Time on the Effective Date of this Plan will be subject to the terms of this
Plan. 
 2. Administration. 

2.1 Administration by the Board. The Plan shall be administered by the board of directors of the Company (the
“Board”). The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a stock option or compensation committee of the Board to whom authority has been delegated by the Board, in accordance with Section 2.3 (a
“Committee”). 

 2.2 Powers of Board. The Board will have the power, subject to, and within the limitations
of, the express provisions of the Plan: 
 (a) To determine: (i) who will be granted Incentives; (ii) when and how
each Incentive will be granted; (iii) what type of Incentive will be granted; (iv) the provisions of each Incentive (which need not be identical), including when a person will be permitted to exercise or otherwise receive cash or Common
Stock under the Incentive; (v) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to, or the cash value of, an Incentive; and (vi) the Fair Market Value applicable to an Incentive. 

(b) To construe and interpret the Plan and Incentives granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and
regulations for administration of the Plan and Incentives. The Board, in the exercise of these powers, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any written agreement (an “Incentive Agreement”) between the
Company and a person to whom an Incentive is granted pursuant to the Plan or, if applicable, such other person who holds an outstanding Incentive (a “Participant”), in a manner and to the extent it will deem necessary or expedient
to make the Plan or Incentive fully effective. 
 (c) To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Incentives granted
under it. 
 (d) To accelerate, in whole or in part, the time at which an Incentive may be exercised or vest (or at which
cash or shares of Common Stock may be issued). 
 (e) To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or an Incentive Agreement, suspension or termination of the Plan will not materially impair a Participant’s rights under his or her then-outstanding Incentive without his or her written consent except as provided in
subsection (viii) below. 
 (f) To submit the Plan and any amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval, including,
but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of (A) Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”)
regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to “covered employees” (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) under the Code), (B) Section 422 of the
Code regarding incentive stock options, or (C) Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”) (“Rule 16b-3”). 

(g) To approve forms of Incentive Agreements for use under the Plan and to amend the terms of any one or more Incentives,
including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable to the Participant than previously provided in the Incentive Agreement, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided,
however, that a Participant’s rights under any Incentive will not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (ii) such Participant consents in writing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) a Participant’s rights will not be deemed to have been impaired by any such amendment if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that the amendment, taken as a whole, does not materially impair the
Participant’s rights, and (B) subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, the Board may amend the terms of any one or more Incentives without the affected Participant’s consent: (1) to maintain the qualified status of
the Incentive as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (2) to change the terms of an Incentive Stock Option, if such change results in impairment of the Incentive solely because it impairs the qualified status of the
Incentive as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (3) to clarify the manner of exemption from, or to bring the Incentive into compliance with, Section 409A; or (4) to comply with other applicable laws or
securities exchange rule or listing requirements. 

  
 2 

 (h) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board
deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Incentives. 

(i) To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees,
Directors or Consultants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States (provided that Board approval will not be necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Incentive Agreement that are required for compliance with
the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction). 
 2.3 Delegation to Committee. 

(a) General. The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If
administration of the Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to
delegate to a subcommittee of the Committee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee). Any delegation of administrative
powers will be reflected in resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, adopted from time to time by the Board or Committee (as applicable). The Committee may, at any time, abolish the subcommittee and/or re-vest in the Committee
any powers delegated to the subcommittee. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated. 

(b) Section 162(m) and Rule 16b-3 Compliance. The Committee shall consist of not less than two (2) Directors.
During any time period in which the Company has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, each such Committee member or, if applicable, each member of a subcommittee to which power to administer the
Company’s equity incentive plans and compensation under Section 162(m) under the Code, has been delegated, shall be an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) under the Code and a “non-employee
director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3. 
 2.4 Delegation to an Officer. The Board may delegate to one (1) or more
Directors or officers of the Company (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, “Officers”), subject to such terms, conditions and limitation as the Board may establish in its discretion, the authority to grant
Incentives; provided, however, that the Board shall not delegate such authority (i) with respect to grants of Incentives to be made to Officers or (ii) in such a manner as would cause the Plan not to comply with the
requirements of Section 162(m) under the Code, applicable exchange rules or applicable corporate law. 
 2.5 Effect of Board’s
Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons. 

2.6 Cancellation and Re-Grant of Incentives. Except in connection with a Capitalization Adjustment, neither the Board nor any Committee
will have the authority to: (a) reduce the exercise, purchase or strike price of any outstanding Options or SAR under the Plan; or (b) cancel any outstanding Options or SARs that have an exercise price or strike price greater than the
current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in exchange for cash or other Incentives under the Plan, unless the shareholders of the Company have approved such an action within twelve (12) months prior to such an event. 

  
 3 

 3. Shares Subject to the Plan. 

3.1. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment in connection with a Capitalization Adjustment, the number of shares of Common Stock which
may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 350,000 shares of Common Stock, which number is the sum of the number of shares subject to the Prior Plan’s Available Reserve, plus an additional 95,238 shares. Shares of Common Stock that are
issued under the Plan or are subject to outstanding Incentives will be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan. For purposes of clarification, the award of any Incentives payable
only in cash will not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock remaining and available to be issued under the Plan. Shares may be issued in connection with a merger or acquisition as permitted by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c) or, if applicable,
NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, AMEX Company Guide Section 711 or other applicable rule, and such issuance will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan 

3.2. Share Counting. 

(a) To the extent that cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock is delivered upon the exercise of a SAR pursuant to
Section 5.4, the Company shall be deemed, for purposes of applying the limitation on the number of shares, to have issued the greater of the number of shares of Common Stock which it was entitled to issue upon such exercise or on the exercise
of any related option. 
 (b) In the event that a stock option or SAR granted hereunder expires or is terminated or canceled
unexercised as to any shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be added back to the Plan share reserve and shall be available again for issuance pursuant to Incentives granted under the Plan. 

(c) To the extent that the full number of shares subject to a performance share award other performance based-stock award
(other than a stock option or SAR) is not issued by reason of failure to achieve maximum performance goals, the number of shares not issued shall be added back to the Plan share reserve and shall be available again for issuance pursuant to
Incentives granted under the Plan. 
 (d) In the event that shares of Common Stock are issued as performance shares,
restricted stock or pursuant to another stock award and thereafter are forfeited or reacquired by the Company because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares in the Participant, then the shares that are
forfeited or repurchased shall be added back to the Plan share reserve and shall be available again for issuance pursuant to Incentives granted under the Plan. 

(e) Shares withheld or deducted from an Incentive in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on an Incentive or as
consideration for the exercise or purchase price of an Incentive shall not be added back to the Plan share reserve and shall not again become available for issuance under the Plan.  

3.3 Incentive Stock Option Limit. Subject to Section 9.1 relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate maximum number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will be 350,000 shares of Common Stock. 
 3.4
Section 162(m) Limitations. Subject to Section 9.1 relating to Capitalization Adjustments, at such time as the Company may be subject to the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, the following limitations shall
apply: 
 (a) A maximum of 350,000 shares of Common Stock subject to stock options, SARs and Other Stock Awards whose value
is determined by reference to an increase over an exercise or strike price of at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date any 

  
 4 

 
such Incentive is granted may be granted to any Participant during any calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any additional Options, SARs or Other Stock Awards whose value is
determined by reference to an increase over an exercise or strike price of at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Award are granted to any Participant during any calendar year, compensation
attributable to the exercise of such additional Incentive will not satisfy the requirements to be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code unless such additional Incentive is approved by
the Company’s shareholders. 
 (b) A maximum of 350,000 performance shares may be granted to any one Participant during
any one calendar year (whether the grant, vesting or exercise is contingent upon the attainment during the Performance Period of the Performance Goals). 

(c) A maximum of $2,000,000 may be granted as a performance cash awards to any one Participant during any one calendar year.

 3.5 Limitation on Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors. No Director who is not also an Employee may be granted any Incentive
or Incentives denominated in shares that exceed in the aggregate $500,000 in value (such value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) in any calendar year. The foregoing limit shall not apply to
any Incentive made pursuant to any election by the Directors to receive an Incentive in lieu of all or a portion of annual and committee retainers and meeting fees. 

3.6 Source of Shares. The stock issuable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock. 

4. Stock Options. A stock option is a right to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company. Each stock option granted under
this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 4.1 Price. The option price per share shall be determined by the
Board, subject to adjustment under Section 9.1; provided that option price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of grant. 

4.2. Number. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the option shall be determined by the Board, subject to adjustment in
connection with a Capitalization Adjustment. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to a stock option shall be reduced in the same proportion that the holder thereof exercises a SAR if any SAR is granted in conjunction with or related to the
stock option. 
 4.3. Duration and Time for Exercise. Subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 10.2, the term of
each stock option shall be determined by the Committee but shall not exceed ten years and one day from the date of grant. Each stock option shall become exercisable at such time or times during its term as shall be determined by the Board at the
time of grant, but shall not become exercisable more quickly than ratably over three years unless the Board determines in its discretion that a faster schedule is warranted. 

4.4. Manner of Exercise. A stock option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written notice to the Company, specifying the
number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and accompanied by the full purchase price for such shares. The option price shall be payable (a) in United States dollars upon exercise of the option and may be paid by cash, uncertified or
certified check or bank draft; (b) at the discretion of the Board, by delivery of shares of Common Stock in payment of all or any part of the option price, which shares shall be valued for this purpose at the Fair Market Value on the date such
option is exercised; (c) at the discretion of the Committee, by instructing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the stock option shares of Common Stock in payment of all or any part of the exercise
price and/or any related withholding tax obligations, 

  
 5 

 
which shares shall be valued for this purpose at the Fair Market Value or in such other manner as may be authorized from time to time by the Board, or (d) in any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board or is specified in the applicable Incentive Agreement. The shares of Common Stock delivered by the participant pursuant to Section 4.4(b) must have been held by the participant for a period of
not less than six months prior to the exercise of the option, unless otherwise determined by the Board. Prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of a stock option, a participant shall have no rights as a shareholder. 

4.5 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the following additional provisions shall apply to
the grant Incentive Stock Options: 
 (a) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of
grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
(or such other limit established in the Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing Incentive Stock Options, the options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise do
not comply with such rules will be treated as non-statutory stock options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Incentive Agreement(s). 

(b) Any Incentive Stock Option authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the Board shall deem advisable,
but shall in all events be consistent with and contain all provisions required in order to qualify the options as Incentive Stock Options. 

(c) All Incentive Stock Options must be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date on which this Plan was adopted by
Board of Directors or the date this Plan was approved by the shareholders. 
 (d) Unless sooner exercised, all Incentive
Stock Options shall expire no later than 10 years after the date of grant. 
 (e) The option price for Incentive Stock
Options shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of grant. 
 (f)
If Incentive Stock Options are granted to any participant who, at the time such option is granted, would own (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the employer corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, (i) the option price for such Incentive Stock Options shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of
grant and (ii) such Incentive Stock Options shall expire no later than five years after the date of grant. 
 5. Stock
Appreciation Rights. A SAR is a right to receive, without payment to the Company, a number of shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination thereof, the amount of which is determined pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 5.4. A SAR
may be granted (a) with respect to any stock option granted under this Plan, either concurrently with the grant of such stock option or at such later time as determined by the Board (as to all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock
subject to the stock option), or (b) alone, without reference to any related stock option. Each SAR under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

5.1. Number. Each SAR granted to any participant shall relate to such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be determined by the
Board, subject to adjustment in connection with a Capitalization Adjustment. In the case of a SAR granted with respect to a stock option, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the SAR pertains shall be reduced in the same proportion that the
holder of the option exercises the related stock option. 

  
 6 

 5.2. Duration. Subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 10.2, the term
of each SAR shall be determined by the Board but shall not exceed ten years and one day from the date of grant. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, each SAR shall become exercisable at such time or times, to such extent and upon such conditions
as the stock option, if any, to which it relates is exercisable. 
 5.3. Exercise. A SAR may be exercised, in whole or in part, by
giving written notice to the Company, specifying the number of SARs which the holder wishes to exercise. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Company shall, within 90 days thereafter, deliver to the exercising holder certificates for the
shares of Common Stock or cash or both, as determined by the Committee, to which the holder is entitled pursuant to Section 5.4. 

5.4. Payment. Subject to the right of the Board to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock (which, as it pertains to Officers
and Directors, shall comply with all requirements of the Exchange Act), the number of shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon the exercise of a SAR shall be determined by dividing: 

(a) the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the SAR is exercised multiplied by the amount of the appreciation in such
shares (for this purpose, the “appreciation” shall be the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the SAR on the exercise date exceeds (1) in the case of a SAR related to a stock option, the
purchase price of the shares of Common Stock under the stock option or (2) in the case of a SAR granted alone, without reference to a related stock option, an amount which shall be determined by the Board at the time of grant, subject to
adjustment under Section 10.6); by 
 (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date. 

In lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of a SAR, the Board may elect to pay the holder of the SAR cash equal to the Fair Market Value on
the exercise date of any or all of the shares which would otherwise be issuable. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of a SAR; instead, the holder of the SAR shall be entitled to receive a cash adjustment equal to
the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date or to purchase the portion necessary to make a whole share at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. 

6. Stock Awards, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. A stock award consists of the transfer by the Company to a
participant of shares of Common Stock, without other payment therefor, as additional compensation for services to the Company. Restricted stock consists of shares of Common Stock which are sold or transferred by the Company to a participant at a
price determined by the Committee (which price shall be at least equal to the minimum price required by applicable law for the issuance of a share of Common Stock) and subject to restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the participant.
Restricted stock units evidence the right to receive shares of Common Stock at a future date. The transfer of Common Stock pursuant to stock awards and the transfer and sale of restricted stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 6.1. Number of Shares. The number of shares to be transferred or sold by the Company to a participant pursuant to a stock award or
as restricted stock, or the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to a restricted stock unit, shall be determined by the Board. 

6.2. Sale Price. The Board shall determine the price, if any, at which shares of restricted stock shall be sold to a participant, which
may vary from time to time and among Participants and which may be below the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock at the date of sale. 

  
 7 

 6.3. Restrictions. All shares of restricted stock transferred or sold hereunder, and all
restricted stock units granted hereunder, shall be subject to such restrictions as the Board may determine, which restrictions shall lapse over a period not less than three years from the date of grant, including, without limitation any or all of
the following: 
 (a) a prohibition against either the sale, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance of the shares of
restricted stock, or the delivery of shares pursuant to restricted stock units, such prohibition to lapse at such time or times as the Committee shall determine (whether in annual or more frequent installments, at the time of the death, disability
or retirement of the holder of such shares, or otherwise); 
 (b) a requirement that the holder of shares of restricted stock
or restricted stock units forfeit, or (in the case of shares sold to a participant) resell back to the Company at his or her cost, any right to all or a part of such shares or units in the event of termination of his or her employment or consulting
engagement during any period in which such shares or units are subject to restrictions; and 
 (c) such other conditions or
restrictions as the Board may deem advisable. 
 6.4. Escrow. In order to enforce the restrictions imposed by the Board pursuant to
Section 6.3, the Participant receiving restricted stock or restricted stock units, as applicable, shall enter into an Incentive Agreement with the Company setting forth the conditions of the grant. Shares of restricted stock shall be registered
in the name of the Participant and deposited, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company. Each such certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

The transferability of this certificate and the shares of Common Stock represented by it are subject to the terms and conditions (including
conditions of forfeiture) contained in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan of Famous Dave’s of America, Inc. (the “Company”), and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and the Company. A copy of the Plan and the agreement
is on file in the office of the secretary of the Company. 
 6.5. Issuance and Delivery of Shares. Subject to Section 10.6, at
the end of any time period during which the shares of restricted stock are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer, such shares will be delivered free of all restrictions to the participant or to the participant’s legal
representative, beneficiary or heir. In the case of restricted stock units, no shares shall be issued at the time such restricted stock units are granted. Subject to Section 10.6, upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions applicable to
restricted stock units, or at a later time specified in the agreement governing the grant of restricted stock units, any shares derived from the restricted stock units shall be issued and delivered to the holder of the restricted stock units. 

6.6. Shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, each Participant receiving restricted stock shall have all the
rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of stock during any period in which such shares are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation, the right to vote such shares. Dividends paid in cash or property
other than Common Stock with respect to shares of restricted stock shall be paid to the participant currently. Any holder of restricted stock units shall not be, and shall not have rights and privileges of, a shareholder with respect to any shares
that may be derived from the restricted stock units unless and until such shares have been issued. 
 7. Performance Awards. 

7.1 Performance Shares. A performance share is an Incentive (covering a number of shares not in excess of that set forth in
Section 3.4(b) above) that is payable contingent upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain Performance Goals. The length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and the
measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Committee (or, if not required for compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Board), in its sole discretion; provided,
however, that any Performance Period shall be at least one year in length. The grant of performance shares to a Participant shall not create any rights in such Participant as a shareholder of the Company, until the payment of shares of Common Stock
with respect to an Incentive. No adjustment shall be made in performance shares granted on account of cash dividends which may be paid or other 

  
 8 

 
rights which may be issued to the holders of Common Stock prior to the end of any period for which performance objectives were established. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law
and the applicable Incentive Agreement, the Board may determine that cash may be used in payment of performance shares. 
 7.2
Performance Cash Awards. A performance cash award is a cash award (for a dollar value not in excess of that set forth in Section 3.4(c) above) that is payable contingent upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain
Performance Goals. At the time of grant of a performance cash award, the length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have
been attained will be conclusively determined by the Committee (or, if not required for compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Board), in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any Performance Period shall be at least one year in
length. The Board may specify the form of payment of performance cash awards, which may be cash or other property, or may provide for a Participant to have the option for his or her performance cash award, or such portion thereof as the Board may
specify, to be paid in whole or in part in cash or other property. 
 7.3 Board Discretion. The Board retains the discretion to at
any time reduce or eliminate the compensation or economic benefit due upon attainment of Performance Goals and to define the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for a Performance Period. 

7.4 Section 162(m) Compliance. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code
with respect to an Incentive intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” thereunder, the Committee will establish the Performance Goals applicable to, and the formula for calculating the amount payable under, the Incentive no
later than the earlier of (A) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable Performance Period, and (B) the date on which twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period has elapsed, and in any event at a
time when the achievement of the applicable Performance Goals remains substantially uncertain. Prior to the payment of any compensation under an Incentive intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of
the Code, the Committee will certify the extent to which any Performance Goals and any other material terms under such Award have been satisfied (other than in cases where such relate solely to the increase in the value of the Common Stock).
Notwithstanding satisfaction of any completion of any Performance Goals, options, cash or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Incentive on account of satisfaction of such Performance Goals may be reduced by the
Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
 8. Covenants of the
Company. 
 8.1 Availability of Shares. The Company will keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock
reasonably required to satisfy then-outstanding Incentives. 
 8.2. Securities Law Compliance. The Company will seek to obtain from
each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Incentives and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Incentives; provided, however, that this
undertaking will not require the Company to register under the Securities Act of 1933 (including the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”) the Plan, any Incentive or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant
to any such Incentive. If, after reasonable efforts and at a reasonable cost, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale
of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Incentives unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant will not be eligible for the grant
of an Incentive or the subsequent issuance of cash or Common Stock pursuant to the Incentive if such grant or issuance would be in violation of any applicable securities law. 

  
 9 

 8.3 No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes. The Company will have no duty or obligation
to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising any Incentive. Furthermore, the Company will have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Incentive or
a possible period in which the Incentive may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Incentive to the holder of such Incentive. 

9. Adjustments upon Changes in Common Stock; Other Corporate Events. 

9.1 Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust:
(i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a) and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Incentive, the exercise price of any stock option or SAR, the performance goals for any
Incentive, and other provisions of this Plan and outstanding Incentives, in order to reflect the change in the Common Stock and to provide Plan participants with the same relative rights before and after such adjustment. The Board will make such
adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive. 
 9.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise
provided in the Incentive Agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Incentives (other than Incentives consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to a forfeiture condition or
the Company’s right of repurchase) will terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Company’s repurchase rights or subject to a forfeiture condition may be
repurchased or reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all Incentives to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the
extent such Incentives have not previously expired or terminated) before the dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion. 

9.3 Corporate Transaction. The following provisions will apply to Incentives in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise
provided in the instrument evidencing the Incentive or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of an Incentive. In the event of a
Corporate Transaction, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may take one or more of the following actions with respect to Incentives, contingent upon the closing or consummation of the Corporate Transaction: 

(a) arrange for the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent
company) to assume or continue the Incentive or to substitute a similar stock award for the Incentive (including, but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate
Transaction); 
 (b) arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of
Common Stock issued pursuant to the Incentives to the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company); 

(c) accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the Incentive (and, if applicable, the time at which the Incentive may be
exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board determines (or, if the Board does not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective date of the Corporate
Transaction), with such Incentive terminating if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction; provided, however, that the Board may require Participants to complete and deliver to the
Company a notice of exercise before the effective date of a Corporate Transaction, which exercise is contingent upon the effectiveness of such Corporate Transaction; 

(d) arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to
the Incentive; 

  
 10 

 (e) cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the Incentive, to the extent not
vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration, if any, as the Board, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; and 

(f) make a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the
property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the Incentive immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. For
clarity, this payment may be zero ($0) if the value of the property is equal to or less than the exercise price. Payments under this provision may be delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of the Company’s
Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction is delayed as a result of escrows, earn outs, holdbacks or any other contingencies. 

The Board need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Incentives or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The
Board may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Incentive prior to the earlier of (i) the effective time of the Corporate Transaction and (ii) the effectiveness of such action(s) with respect to the
Incentives. 
 9.4. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 11.3), the Board or a
comparable committee of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder shall declare that the restriction period of all restricted stock and restricted stock units has been eliminated, that all outstanding stock options and SARs
shall accelerate and become exercisable in full but that all outstanding Stock Options and SARs, whether or not exercisable prior to such acceleration, must be exercised within the period of time set forth in a notice to Participant or they will
terminate, and that all performance shares granted to Participants are deemed earned at 100% of target levels and shall be paid. In connection with any declaration pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Board may, but shall not be obligated to,
cause a cash payment to be made to each Plan participant who holds a stock option or SAR that is terminated in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the amount (if any) by which the Transaction Proceeds Per Share (as
defined in Section 11.14) exceeds the exercise price per share covered by such stock option times (y) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such stock option or SAR. 

The Board may restrict the rights of Plan participants or the applicability of this Section 9.4 to the extent necessary to comply with
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Code or any other applicable law or regulation. The grant of an Incentive pursuant to the Plan shall not limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, exchange or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

10. General. 
 10.1.
Effective Date. The Plan will become effective the Effective Date. Unless approved by the shareholders within one year after the date of the Plan’s adoption by the Board of Directors, the Plan shall not be effective for any purpose. 

10.2. Duration. 

(a) The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Incentive Stock Option will be granted after the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, or (ii) the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company. No Incentives may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or
after it is terminated. 
 (b) Suspension or termination of the Plan will not impair rights and obligations under any
Incentive granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant or as otherwise permitted in the Plan. 

  
 11 

 10.3 Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Incentives. Corporate action constituting a
grant by the Company of an Incentive to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the Incentive Agreement, instrument, certificate, or letter
evidencing the Incentive is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain
terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Incentive Agreement as a result of a clerical error in the papering of the Incentive Agreement, the corporate records will control and the
Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Incentive Agreement. 
 10.4. Non-transferability of
Incentives. No stock option, SAR, restricted stock, restricted stock unit or performance award may be transferred, pledged or assigned by the holder thereof (except, in the event of the holder’s death, by will or the laws of descent and
distribution to the limited extent provided in the Plan or the Incentive, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder), and the Company
shall not be required to recognize any attempted assignment of such rights by any participant. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, stock options may be transferred by the holder thereof to Employee’s spouse, children, grandchildren or
parents (collectively, the “Family Members”), to trusts for the benefit of Family Members, to partnerships or limited liability companies in which Family Members are the only partners or shareholders, or to entities exempt from federal
income taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. During a participant’s lifetime, a stock option may be exercised only by him or her, by his or her guardian or legal representative or by the
transferees permitted by the preceding sentence. 
 10.5. Effect of Termination or Death. In the event that a Participant ceases to
be an Employee Director, or Consultant for any reason, including death or disability, any Incentives may be exercised (or payments or shares may be delivered thereunder) or shall expire at such times as may be determined by the Board and, if
applicable, set forth in the Incentive Agreement. 
 10.6. Investment Assurances; Additional Condition. Notwithstanding anything in
this Plan to the contrary, the Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Incentive, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone
or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Incentive; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Incentive for
the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, will be inoperative if (A) the
issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Incentive has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (B) as to any particular requirement, a
determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued
under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock. If at any time the Company further determines, in
its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification (or any updating of any such document) of any Incentive or the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto is necessary on any securities exchange or under any federal or
state securities or blue sky law, or that the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with the award of any Incentive, the issuance of

  
 12 

 
shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto, or the removal of any restrictions imposed on such shares, such Incentive shall not be awarded or such shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or such
restrictions shall not be removed, as the case may be, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. 

10.7. Incentive Plans and Agreements. Except in the case of stock awards, the terms of each Incentive shall be stated in a plan or
agreement approved by the Board. The Board may also determine to enter into agreements with holders of options to reclassify or convert certain outstanding options, within the terms of the Plan, as Incentive Stock Options or as non-statutory stock
options and in order to eliminate SARs with respect to all or part of such options and any other previously issued options. 
 10.8.
Withholding. Unless prohibited by the terms of an Incentive Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to an Incentive by any of the following means (in addition
to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the
shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Incentive; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be
withheld by law (or such lesser amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Incentive as a liability for financial accounting purposes); (iii) withholding cash from an Incentive settled in cash; (iv) withholding payment from
any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; or (v) by such other method as may be set forth in the Incentive Agreement. If a Participant desires and the Board permits, Participant the Participant may satisfy its obligation to pay to the
Company the amount required to be withheld by electing (the “Election”) to have the Company withhold from the distribution shares of Common Stock having a value up to the minimum amount of withholding taxes required to be collected
on the transaction. The value of the shares to be withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld shall be determined (“Tax Date”). Each Election must be made
prior to the Tax Date. The Board may disapprove of any Election, may suspend or terminate the right to make Elections, or may provide with respect to any Incentive that the right to make Elections shall not apply to such Incentive. An Election is
irrevocable. 
 10.9. No Continued Employment, Engagement or Right to Corporate Assets. Nothing in the Plan, any Incentive Agreement
or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Incentive granted pursuant thereto will confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Incentive
was granted or will affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such
Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the
Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as giving an Employee, a consultant, such persons’ beneficiaries or any other person any equity or interests of any kind in the assets of the
Company or creating a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Company and any such person. 
 10.10. Change
in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company and any Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an
Employee of the Company and the Employee has a change in status from a full-time Employee to a part-time Employee) after the date of grant of any Incentive to the Participant, the Board has the right in its sole discretion to (i) make a
corresponding reduction in the number of shares or cash amount subject to any portion of such Incentive that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with
such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Incentive that is so reduced or extended. 

  
 13 

 10.11 Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or
document will include any agreement or document delivered electronically, filed publicly at www.sec.gov (or any successor website thereto) or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which
the Participant has access). 
 10.12. Deferral Permitted. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole
discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Incentive may be deferred and may establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be
made by Participants. Deferrals by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A. 
 10.13. Amendment of the Plan.
The Board may amend, modify, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time as it deems necessary or advisable; provided, however, any amendment or modification that (a) increases the total
number of shares available for issuance pursuant to Incentives granted under the Plan (except as contemplated by the provisions of Section 9.1 relating to Capitalization Adjustments), (b) deletes or limits the provision of Section 2.6
(Cancellation and Re-Grant of Incentives), or (c) requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or securities exchange rule or listing requirement, shall be subject to approval by the
Company’s shareholders. Except as provided in the Plan (including Section 2.2(g)) or an Incentive Agreement, no amendment, modification, suspension, discontinuance or termination of the Plan shall impair a Participant’s rights under
an outstanding Incentive without his or her written consent, provided that such consent shall not be required with respect to any Plan amendment, modification or other such action if the Board determines in its sole discretion that such amendment,
modification or other such action is not reasonably likely to significantly reduce or diminish the benefits provided to the Participant under such Incentive. 

10.14. Code Section 409A Provisions. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Incentive Agreement, the Plan and Incentive
Agreements will be interpreted to the greatest extent possible in a manner that makes the Plan and the Incentives granted hereunder exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and, to the extent not so exempt, in compliance with Section 409A of
the Code. If the Board determines that any Incentive granted hereunder is not exempt from and is therefore subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Incentive Agreement evidencing such Incentive will incorporate the terms and conditions
necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and to the extent an Incentive Agreement is silent on terms necessary for compliance, such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Incentive Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan (and unless the Incentive Agreement specifically provides otherwise), if the shares of Common Stock are publicly traded, and if a Participant holding an Incentive that constitutes “deferred
compensation” under Section 409A of the Code is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, no distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a “separation from service” (as
defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) will be issued or paid before the date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” or,
if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six
(6) month period elapses, with the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule. 
 10.15. Clawback/Recovery. All Incentives
granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s
securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other 

  
 14 

 
applicable law. In addition, the Board may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Incentive Agreement as the Board determines necessary or appropriate. No recovery of
compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company. 

11. Additional Definitions. 

11.1 Affiliate. “Affiliate” means, at the time of determination, any “parent” or “subsidiary” of
the Company as such terms are defined in Rule 405. The Board will have the authority to determine the time or times at which “parent” or “subsidiary” status is determined within the foregoing definition. 

11.2 Capitalization Adjustment. A “Capitalization Adjustment” means any change that is made in, or other events that
occur with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Incentive after the Effective Date without the receipt of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation,
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company will not be treated as a Capitalization Adjustment. 

11.3. Change in Control. A “Change in Control” means any of the following: 

(a) Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (a
“Person”) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding
Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 11.3, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company,
(ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any affiliated company or (iv) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction that
complies with Sections 11.3(c)(1), 11.3(c)(2) and 11.3(c)(3); 
 (b) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory
share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of
the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a
non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may
be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or
more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person
(excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination 

  
 15 

 
or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of,
respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such
ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or 

(c) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing definition or any other provision of this Plan, (A) the term Change in Control will not
include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company, and (B) the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between
the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant will supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Incentives subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or any analogous term is set
forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition will apply; provided, further, that no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur upon announcement or commencement of a tender offer or upon a potential takeover
or upon shareholder approval of a merger or other transaction, in each case without a requirement that the Change in Control actually occur. If required for compliance with Section 409A of the Code, in no event will a Change in Control be
deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). The Board may, in its sole discretion and without a Participant’s consent, amend the definition of “Change in Control” to
conform to the definition of “Change in Control” under Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations thereunder. 
 11.4.
Corporate Transaction. “Corporate Transaction” means the consummation, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more of the following events:

consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries; 
 (b) a sale or other disposition of at least ninety percent
(90%) of the outstanding securities of the Company; 
 (c) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following
which the Company is not the surviving corporation; or 
 (d) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which
the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger, consolidation or similar transaction are converted or exchanged by virtue of the merger, consolidation or similar transaction into
other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise. 
 To the extent required for compliance with Section 409A of the
Code, in no event will an event be deemed a Corporate Transaction if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets
of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder).

 11.5 Employee. “Employee” means any person employed by the Company or an

Affiliate to render consulting or advisory services and is compensated for such services, or (ii) serving as a member of the board of directors of an Affiliate and is compensated for such services. However, service solely as a Director, or
payment of a fee for such service, will not cause a Director to be considered a “Consultant” for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person is treated as a Consultant under this Plan only if a Form S-8 Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company’s securities to such person.

11.9 Fair Market Value. “Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of the Common Stock determined as follows: 

(a) If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or traded on any established market, the Fair Market Value
of a share of Common Stock will be, unless otherwise determined by the Board, the closing sales price for such stock as quoted on such exchange or market (or the exchange or market with the greatest volume of trading in the Common Stock) on the date
of determination, as reported in a source the Board deems reliable. 
 (b) Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if there
is no closing sales price for the Common Stock on the date of determination, then the Fair Market Value will be the closing selling price on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists. 

(c) In the absence of such markets for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value will be determined by the Board in good faith
and in a manner that complies with Sections 409A and 422 of the Code.

 17 

 11.12 Performance Goals. “Performance Goals” means, for a Performance
Period, the one or more goals established by the Board for the Performance Period based upon the Performance Criteria. Performance Goals may be based on a Company-wide basis, with respect to one or more business units, divisions, Affiliates, or
business segments, and in either absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or the performance of one or more relevant indices. 

11.13 Performance Period. “Performance Period” means the period of time selected by the Board over which the
