A. The Borrower has requested that on the Second 2015 Effective Date (as defined below) (i) the Persons set forth on

Term Loans”) to the Borrower. 
 B. The Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders are willing to provide the
Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments to the Borrower on the Second 2015 Effective Date and the Tranche E Refinancing Term Lenders are wiling to make the Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans to the Borrower on the Second 2015 Effective Date,
in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement. 
 Accordingly, in
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein (including in the recitals hereto) shall have
the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. As used herein, the term “2015
Additional Transactions” means, collectively, (a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement, (b) the Borrowing of the Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans hereunder and the use of the proceeds
thereof in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, (c) the establishment of the Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant hereto, (d) the repayment of outstanding Tranche C Term Loans in an
aggregate principal amount, together with all accrued interest thereon, of $248,870,695.51 (the “Tranche C Refinancing”) and (e) the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing. 

  
 1 

 SECTION 2. Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Each
Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to provide Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments
to the Borrower on the Second 2015 Effective Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s name on Schedule I hereto. 

(b) The Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders shall constitute “Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders”,
“Revolving Credit Lenders” and “Lenders”, the Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments” and “Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments” and the loans
made thereunder shall constitute “Incremental Revolving Loans” and “Dollar Revolving Loans”, in each case for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(c) (i) Upon the effectiveness of the Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender
immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will automatically and without
further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participations under the Credit Agreement in outstanding Dollar Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans (if any) such that, after giving effect to each such
deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (x) participations under the Credit Agreement in Dollar Letters of Credit and (y) participations under the Credit Agreement in Swingline Loans
held by each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lender) will equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage and (ii) if, on the Second 2015 Effective Date, there are any Dollar Revolving Loans
outstanding, such Dollar Revolving Loans shall, upon the effectiveness of the Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Dollar Revolving Loans made under the Credit Agreement (reflecting the increase
in the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Dollar Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with Section 2.15
of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 3. Term Loan Commitments. (a) Each Tranche E Refinancing Term Lender hereby
agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans to the Borrower on the Second 2015 Effective Date in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Tranche E Refinancing Term Lender’s name on Schedule II hereto. Amounts borrowed under this Section 3(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 

(b) Unless the context shall otherwise require, the Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans shall constitute “Refinancing Term
Loans” and “Tranche E Term 

  
 2 

 
Loans”, and the Tranche E Refinancing Term Lenders shall constitute “Refinancing Term Lenders” and “Lenders”, in each case for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. 
 (c) The proceeds of the Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans shall be used solely to finance the
Tranche C Refinancing and any related expenses. 
 (d) Unless previously terminated, the commitments of the Tranche E
Refinancing Term Lenders pursuant to Section 2(a) shall terminate upon the making of the Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans on the Second 2015 Effective Date. 

(e) On the Second 2015 Effective Date, the principal amount of each scheduled repayment of Tranche E Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.08(b) of the Credit Agreement (as set forth in Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 1) shall be increased an amount necessary to give effect to the increase in outstanding Tranche E Term Loans as a result of the making of the
Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans hereunder. 
 (f) The Tranche C Refinancing Term Loans shall have the same terms as the
Tranche E Term Loans and the initial Interest Period applicable thereto shall be the Interest Period set forth in the notice of borrowing delivered on the Second 2015 Effective Date pursuant to Section 4(e) of this Agreement. 

(g) The parties hereto agree that the Agent is authorized to take such actions as are necessary to ensure that the Tranche C
Refinancing Term Loans are included in each Borrowing of Tranche E Term Loans outstanding on the Second 2015 Effective Date on a ratable basis. 

SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Agreement and the obligations of the
Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders to provide the Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and of the Tranche E Refinancing Term Lenders to make the Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of

 4 

 
principles of equity; (b) after giving effect to this Agreement, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are
true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Second 2015 Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects on
and as of such earlier date; provided that, (i) in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representation and warranty that already is qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof and
(ii) for purposes of the representation in Section 3.13(a) of the Credit Agreement, the words “Second Restatement Date” in each place set forth therein shall be deemed to be “Second 2015 Effective Date”, the words
“Second Restatement Transactions” shall be deemed to refer to the 2015 Additional Transactions and the parenthetical in Section 3.13(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be disregarded and (c) as of the Second 2015 Effective Date,
after giving effect to this Agreement, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would reasonably be expected to result from the establishment of the Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or the borrowing of the
Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 6. Effect of Agreement. Except as
expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document,
and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall
continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Agreement shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. After the Second 2015
Effective Date, any reference to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document, and the terms “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import in the Credit
Agreement, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean the Credit Agreement as modified hereby. This Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document”, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement” and a
“Refinancing Facility Agreement”, in each case for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

SECTION 7. Acknowledgement and Consent. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has read this Agreement and consents
to the terms hereof and further hereby affirms, confirms and agrees that (a) notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement, the obligations of such Loan Party under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party shall not be impaired
and each of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects, in each case, as amended hereby; (b) its Guarantee of the
Obligations, and the pledge of and/or grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral to secure the Obligations, all as and to the extent provided in the Collateral 

  
 5 

 
Documents as originally executed, shall continue in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, the Obligations (including the Tranche E Refinancing Term Loans and the Incremental Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments and the loans and other extensions of credit thereunder); and (c) all the representations and warranties made by or relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the Second 2015 Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of
such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representation and warranty that already is qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof. 

SECTION 8. Certain Post-Effectiveness Collateral Obligations. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent each of the
documents, and take each of the actions, specified in Schedule III hereto. 
 SECTION 9. FATCA Treatment; Tax Forms.
(a) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after Second 2015 Effective Date, the Borrower and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) the Revolving Loans as not qualifying
as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 (b)
The Borrower hereby requests each Foreign Lender to promptly submit duly completed and signed copies of one or more of forms or certificates described in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) or (G) of the Credit Agreement
and each Foreign Lender agrees that the Borrower’s request is reasonable pursuant to 2.16(f)(iii)(A)(3) of the Credit Agreement.

counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11. Governing
Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The provisions of Sections 9.09 and 9.10 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Agreement to the same extent as if fully set
forth herein.

The Plan is also contemplated to enhance the ability of the Company and its Affiliates to attract and retain the services of individuals who are essential for the growth and profitability of the Company.

				 SECTION 3.
			

			
	
			
			Administration.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			General.  The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the acts of a majority of the members of the Committee who are present at any meeting thereof at which a quorum is present, or the acts unanimously approved by the members of the Committee in writing, shall be the acts of the Committee.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Committee Authority.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited, or suspended and the method or methods by which Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property, and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof or of the Committee; (vii) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; (viii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (ix) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan; provided, however, the Committee shall not take any action otherwise authorized under this Section 3(b) to the extent that (i) such action would cause (A) the application of Section 162(m) or 409A of the Code to the Award or (B) create adverse tax consequences under Section 162(m) or 409A of the Code should either or both of those Code sections apply to the Award or (ii) materially reduce the benefit to the Participant without the consent of the Participant. No member of the Committee shall vote or act upon any matter relating solely to himself and grants of Awards to members of the Committee must be ratified by the Board. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, any stockholder and any Employee. No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder and the members of the Board and Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company and its Affiliates in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including legal fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law.

				 SECTION 4.
			

			
	
			
			Shares Available for Awards.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Shares Available.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be up to 11,350,000 Shares (including after giving effect to a 5-for-1 stock split effected as a stock dividend on September 26, 2005). Except for withholding of Shares for payment of taxes or exercise price, if any Award is exercised, paid, forfeited, terminated or canceled without the delivery of Shares, then the Shares covered by such Award, to the extent of such payment, exercise, forfeiture, termination or cancellation, shall again be Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted. Awards will not reduce the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan if the settlement of the Award will not require the issuance of Shares, as, for example, an Other Stock-Based Award that can be satisfied only by the payment of cash. In addition, for purposes of clarification, Awards that may require the issuance of Shares upon settlement based on a right of the Company to determine to settle such Award in any Shares after the date of issuance and prior to vesting shall not reduce the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan unless and until such right of the Company is exercised and determination has been made.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards.  Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares and shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Adjustments.  In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the maximum number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted to any single individual during any calendar year, (iii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iv) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award.

			
	
			
				 SECTION 5.
			

			
	
			
			Participation.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Eligibility for Participation. Any Employee, Director or Consultant shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and to receive an Award under the Plan.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Conditions to and Limitations upon Participation. Subject to applicable law and the terms of Awards outstanding and issued prior to March 12, 2013 that are assumed and continued under this Plan, the acceptance by any Employee, Director or Consultant of the designation as a Participant, and his acceptance of the payment or grant of any Award, is conditioned upon the 
		

		 

		

			7

		

 

			Participant’s compliance with the terms of the Executive Compensation Clawback Policy. The Committee may require a Participant to affirmatively acknowledge and agree to the application of the Executive Compensation Clawback Policy in connection with his participation in the Plan upon his initial designation as a Participant, prior to the payment or grant of any Award and/or at any other time the Committee so determines; provided, however, that any such affirmative acknowledgement and agreement is intended only to supplement the Company’s ability to enforce the Executive Compensation Clawback Policy; and provided further, that the absence of any such affirmative acknowledgement and consent shall not diminish the Company’s ability to enforce the terms of the Executive Compensation Clawback Policy as an express condition to participate in, and receive benefits under, the Plan.

			
	
			
				 SECTION 6.
			

			
	
			
			Awards.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Options.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to determine the Participants to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Option, the purchase price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Exercise Price.  The purchase price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted, but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on such grant date.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Time and Method of Exercise.  The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part (which may include the achievement of one or more Performance Objectives), and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms, in which payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made (which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, Shares held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported financial earnings and owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, outstanding Awards, a “cashless-broker” exercise (through procedures approved by the Committee and the Company), other securities or other property, notes approved by the Committee, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price); provided, however, in order to exercise an Option, the Person or Persons entitled to exercise the Option shall deliver to the Company payment in full for the Shares being purchased and, unless other arrangements have been made with, or procedures have been established and approved by, the Committee, any required withholding taxes.

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Incentive Stock Options.  The terms of any Option granted under the Plan intended to be an incentive stock option shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company and its parent corporation and subsidiary corporations, within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code while each such entity is a “Corporation” described in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code and Treas. Reg. Section 1.421-1(i)(1). To the extent the aggregate Fair Market 
		

		 

		

			8

		

 

			Value of the Shares (determined as of the date of grant) of an Option to the extent exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations) exceeds $100,000, such Option Shares in excess of $100,000 shall be nonqualified stock options. No Option that is an incentive stock option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from its date of grant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any person owning stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company and its Affiliates be granted an incentive stock option hereunder unless (1) the Option exercise price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Option at the time the Option is granted and (2) the term during which such Option is exercisable does not exceed five years from its date of grant.

			
	
			
				 (iv)
			Limits.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the maximum number of Options that may be granted to any Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed 300,000 Shares.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Restricted Stock.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to determine the Participants to whom Restricted Stock shall be granted, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock to be granted to each such Participant, the duration of the Restricted Period during which, and the conditions, including Performance Objectives, if any, under which if not achieved, the Restricted Stock may be forfeited to the Company, and the other terms and conditions of such Awards.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Dividends.  Dividends paid on Restricted Stock may be paid directly to the Participant, may be subject to risk of forfeiture and/or transfer restrictions during any period established by the Committee or sequestered and held in a bookkeeping cash account (with or without interest) or reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional shares of Common Stock, which account or shares may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award or such other restrictions, all as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Registration.  Any Restricted Stock may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Forfeiture and Restrictions Lapse.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the terms of the Award that granted the Restricted Stock, upon termination of a Participant’s employment (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by the Participant and reacquired by the Company. Unrestricted Shares, evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall deem appropriate, shall be issued to the holder of Restricted Stock promptly after the applicable restrictions have lapsed or otherwise been satisfied.

		 

		

			9

		

 

			
	
			
				 (iv)
			Transfer Restrictions.  During the Restricted Period, Restricted Stock will be subject to the limitations on transfer as provided in Section 6(h)(i).

			
	
			
				 (v)
			Limits.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the maximum number of Shares of Restricted Stock that may be granted to any Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed 300,000 Shares of Restricted Stock.

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Performance Awards.  The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Participants who shall receive a Performance Award, which shall be denominated as a cash amount (e.g., $100 per award unit) at the time of grant and confer on the Participant the right to receive payment of such Award, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such Performance Objectives during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish with respect to the Award.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Terms and Conditions.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine the Performance Objectives to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award. In the case of any Performance Award granted to a Covered Person in any calendar year in which any class of Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, performance goals shall be designed to be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder (including Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27 and any successor regulation thereto), including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee are such that the achievement of performance goals is “substantially uncertain” at the time of grant. In addition, achievement of performance goals in respect of Performance Awards shall be measured over a performance period of not less than six (6) months and not more than ten (10) years, as specified by the Committee. Performance goals in the case of any Performance Award granted to a Covered Person in any year in which any class of Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act shall be established not later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to such Performance Award, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to Section 8, the Committee shall not exercise discretion to increase any amount payable in respect of a Performance Award which is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Payment of Performance Awards.  Performance Awards, to the extent earned and vested, shall be paid (in cash and/or in Shares, in the sole discretion of the Committee) in a lump sum following the close of the performance period. Except as may otherwise be required under Section 409A of the Code, cash payments or tendered stock certificates (or Shares in book-entry form) described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made by the later of (i) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Participant’s first taxable year in which the Performance Award is earned and payable under the Plan and (ii) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company’s first taxable year in which the Performance Award is earned and payable under the Plan, and 
		

		 

		

			10

		

 

			such payment shall not be subject to any election by the Participant to defer the payment to a later period. To the extent that the final settlement of a vested Award is to be made in Shares, the amount payable under a Performance Award shall be divided by the Fair Market Value per Share on the determination date and a stock certificate (or Shares in book-entry form) evidencing the resulting Shares (to the nearest full share) shall be delivered to the Participant, or his personal representative, and the value of any fractional shares will be paid in cash. The Company will also retain the right under any of its deferred compensation plans to make additional contributions related to these Awards into a deferred compensation plan, which Award will not vest until retirement or certain conditions of termination as provided by that plan.

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Limits.  The maximum value of Performance Awards that may be granted to any Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $2,000,000 calculated as of the date of grant.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Bonus Shares.  The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to grant Bonus Shares to Participants. Each Bonus Share shall constitute a transfer of an unrestricted Share to the Participant, without other payment therefor, as additional compensation for the Participant’s services to the Company. Bonus Shares shall be in lieu of a cash bonus that otherwise would be granted.  

			
	
			
				 (e)
			Phantom Shares.  The Committee shall have the authority to grant Awards of Phantom Shares to Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Terms and Conditions.  Each Phantom Share Award shall constitute an agreement by the Company to issue or transfer a specified number of Shares or pay an amount of cash equal to a specified number of Shares, or a combination thereof to the Participant in the future, subject to the fulfillment during the Restricted Period of such conditions, including Performance Objectives, if any, as the Committee may specify at the date of grant. Payment shall be made in a lump sum no later than 21⁄2 months after the end of the Restricted Period. During the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject Award, shall not have any rights of ownership in the Phantom Shares and shall not have any right to vote such Shares.  A Phantom Share Award may reserve the right of the Company to determine to settle such award in Shares, cash or a combination thereof prior to any applicable vesting date, to the extent such settlement would be permitted under the Plan from available Shares.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Dividends.  Any Phantom Share award may provide that an amount equal to any or all dividends or other distributions paid on Shares during the Restricted Period be credited in a cash bookkeeping account (without interest) or that equivalent additional Phantom Shares be awarded, which account or shares may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award or such other restrictions as the Committee may determine.

		 

		

			11

		

 

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Limits.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the maximum number of Phantom Shares that may be granted to any Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed 300,000 Phantom Shares.

			
	
			
				 (iv)
			Additional Limitations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6(e) to the contrary, any such Phantom Shares Award granted under the Plan shall contain terms that (i) are designed to avoid application of Section 409A of the Code to the Award or (ii) are designed to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code should that Code section apply to the Award.

			
	
			
				 (f)
			Cash Awards.  The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Participants to whom Cash Awards shall be granted, the amount, whether the Cash Awards may be voluntarily or shall be involuntarily deferred in a Company deferred compensation plan, and the terms or conditions, if any, as additional compensation or as deferred compensation for the Participant’s services to the Company or its Affiliates. If granted, a Cash Award shall be granted (simultaneously or subsequently) in tandem with another Award and shall entitle a Participant to receive a specified amount of cash from the Company upon such other Award becoming taxable to the Participant, which cash amount may be based on a formula relating to the anticipated taxable income associated with such other Award and the payment of the Cash Award; provided, however, a Cash Award shall not be granted in tandem or in combination with any other Award if that would (i) cause application of Section 409A of the Code to either Award or (ii) result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code should that Code section apply to either Award.

			
	
			
				 (g)
			Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Committee may also grant to Participants an Other Stock-Based Award, which shall consist of a right which is an Award denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares as is deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, including the Performance Objectives, if any, applicable to such Award, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock-Based Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Other Stock-Based Award shall contain terms that (i) are designed to avoid application of Section 409A of the Code or (ii) are designed to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A should that Code section apply to such Award. Payment shall be made in a lump sum, or Share certificates (or Shares in book-entry form) issued, no later than 21/2 months after the date such Other Stock-Based Award becomes vested. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) insofar as that provision relates to Shares, the maximum number of Shares or value for which Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted to any Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed 300,000 Shares, if the Award is in Shares, or $500,000, if the Award is in dollars.

			
	
			
				 (h)
			General.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Limits on Transfer of Awards.

			
	
			
				 A.
			

			
	
			
			Except as provided in (C) below, each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the 
		

		 

		

			12

		

 

			person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

			
	
			
				 B.
			

			
	
			
			Except as provided in (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, to the Company). Any such attempted or purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void, ineffective and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate, and shall give no right to the purported transferee, and shall at the sole discretion of the Committee result in the forfeiture of the Award with respect to the Award involved in such attempted or perpetual transfer or encumbrance.

			
	
			
				 C.
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent specifically provided by the Committee with respect to a grant, (1) a nonqualified stock option may be transferred to immediate family members or related family trusts, or similar entities on such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, and (2) an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option may be transferred pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order described in Section 414(p) of the Code.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Term of Awards.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided, that in no event shall the term of any Award exceed a period of 10 years from the date of its grant.

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Share Certificates.  All certificates for Shares or other securities of the Company (or Shares in book-entry form) delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates (or Shares in book-entry form) to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

			
	
			
				 (iv)
			Consideration for Grants.  Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for such consideration as the Committee determines including, without limitation, such minimal cash consideration as may be required by applicable law.

			
	
			
				 (v)
			Delivery of Shares or other Securities upon Payment by Participant of Consideration.  No Shares or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the 
		

		 

		

			13

		

 

			applicable Award Agreement is received by the Company (including Shares being withheld in accordance with Section 9(b) or any applicable Award agreement).

			
	
			
				 (vi)
			Section 409A Considerations.  Awards granted shall contain terms that (i) are designed to avoid application of Section 409A of the Code to the Award or (ii) are designed to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code should that Code Section apply to the Award. Dividend payments under any Award (which are paid directly to any Participant and which are otherwise subject to Section 409A) shall be made monthly (if any) as of the last business day of each month, which payment date is intended to be a fixed time or schedule under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(a)(4).  

			
	
			
				 (vii)
			409A Specified Employee. If the Participant is a “specified employee,” as defined in 409A and the applicable regulations, except to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, no payment of any Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code (after taking into account all applicable exceptions to Section 409A of the Code, including but not limited to the exceptions for short-term deferrals and for “separation pay only upon an involuntary separation from service”) shall be made under the Plan on account of the Participant’s “separation from service,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, with the Company until the later of the date prescribed for payment in the Award and the first day of the seventh calendar month that begins after the date of the Participant’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant). Any such amounts shall be aggregated and paid in a lump sum.

			
	
			
				 SECTION 7.
			

			
	
			
			Amendment and Termination.

		
			Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan:
		

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Amendments to the Plan.  Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange or market on which the shares are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan without the consent of any stockholder, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Amendments to Awards. Subject to (d) below, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c), in any Award shall reduce the benefit to Participant without the consent of such Participant. In no event shall the Committee, if not the Board, take action without the approval of the Board that constitutes a “repricing” of an Option for financial accounting purposes, and any Board-approved repricing shall be inoperative and ineffective unless and until approved by the stockholders.

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events.  Subject to (d) below, the Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) of the Plan) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any 
		

		 

		

			14

		

 

			Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan; provided, that any such election would not (i) cause the application of Section 409A of the Code to the Award or (ii) create adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code should Section 409A apply to the Award.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Section 162(m).  The Committee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant, in addition to adjustments that may be made pursuant to Section 7(c) above, may amend (i) any stock-based Award to reflect (1) a change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split or dividend, (2) a corporate transaction, such as a corporate merger, a corporate consolidation, any corporate separation (including a spinoff or other distribution of stock or property by a corporation), any corporate reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code), (3) any partial or complete corporate liquidation, or (4) a change in accounting rules required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and (ii) any Award that is not intended to meet the requirements of the performance based compensation exception to Section 162(m) of the Code, to reflect a significant event that the Committee, in its sole discretion, believes to be appropriate to reflect the original intent in the grant of the Award. With respect to an Award that is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, subject to Section 8, the Committee (i) shall not take any action that would disqualify such Award as performance based compensation and (ii) must first certify that the Performance Objectives, if applicable, have been achieved before the Award may be paid.

			
	
			
				 SECTION 8.
			

			
	
			
			Change in Control.

		
			(a)Awards Granted on or Prior to  March 1, 2005.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company all outstanding Awards granted on or prior to March 1, 2005 shall automatically become fully vested immediately prior to such Change in Control (or such earlier time as set by the Committee), all restrictions, if any, with respect to such Awards shall lapse, and all performance criteria, if any, with respect to such Awards shall be deemed to have been met in full (at the highest level).
		

		
			(b)Awards Granted After March 1, 2005.  With respect to Awards granted after March 1, 2005, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Participant’s employment with the Company (or a successor) and all of its Affiliates terminates within 2 years after a Change in Control of the Company and (i) such termination of employment was initiated by the Company (or a successor) other than for a Termination for Cause or (ii) such termination of employment was initiated by a Participant after determining in the Participant’s good faith reasonable judgment that the termination is a Termination for Good Reason, all such Awards of each affected Participant shall become fully vested immediately as of such employment termination date, all restrictions, if any, with respect to such Awards shall lapse, and all performance criteria, if any, with respect to such Awards shall be deemed to have been met in full (at the highest or maximum level). Unless the Company survives as an independent publicly traded company, all Options outstanding at the time of the events that give rise to each affected Participant’s right to Change in Control benefits hereunder shall terminate and the Optionee shall be paid, with respect to each Option, an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market 
		

		 

		

			15

		

 

		Value of a Share over the Option’s exercise price (if the Option exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date, the Optionee shall be paid an amount in cash equal to the lesser of $1.00 or the Black-Scholes value of the cancelled Option as determined in good faith by the Board), unless and except to the extent provision is made in writing in connection with such Change in Control event or transaction for the continuation of the Plan and/or the assumption of the Options theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options of new options covering the stock of a successor entity, or the parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and exercise prices, in which event the Plan and Options theretofore granted shall continue as fully vested and immediately exercisable Options in the manner and under the terms so provided.
		

			
	
			
				 SECTION 9.
			

			
	
			
			General Provisions.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			No Rights to Awards.  No Director, Employee, Consultant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards, and the terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Withholding.  The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, Shares that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award, other Awards or other property) of any applicable taxes payable at the minimum statutory rate in respect of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes at the minimum statutory rate. In addition, the Committee may provide, in an Award Agreement, that the Participant shall have the right to direct the Company to satisfy the Company’s actual tax withholding obligation through the “constructive” tender of already-owned Shares or the withholding of Shares otherwise to be acquired upon the exercise or payment of such Award.

			
	
			
				 (c)
			No Right to Employment.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or other service relationship at any time, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Governing Law.  The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law.

			
	
			
				 (e)
			Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such 
		

		 

		

			16

		

 

			jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

			
	
			
				 (f)
			Other Laws.  The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance of transfer or such Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.

			
	
			
				 (g)
			Unfunded Plan.  Neither the Plan nor the Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund or funds. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall establish any kind of a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

			
	
			
				 (h)
			No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Substitute Awards.  Awards may be granted from time to time in substitution for similar awards held by employees or directors of other corporations who become Employees or Directors of the Company or its Affiliates as the result of a merger or consolidation of such director or employee’s employing corporation with the Company or any Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or any Affiliate of the assets of such director or employee’s employing corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or any Affiliate of the stock of such director or employee’s employing corporation. The terms and conditions of substitute Awards granted shall comport with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.

			
	
			
				 (j)
			Shareholder Agreements.  The Committee may condition the grant, exercise or payment of any Award upon such person entering into a stockholders’ agreement or repurchase agreement in such form as approved from time to time by the Board.

			
	
			
				 (k)
			Gender, Tense and Headings.  Whenever the context requires, words of the masculine gender used herein shall include the feminine and neuter and words used in the singular shall include the plural. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

			
	
			
				 (l)
			No Guarantee of Tax Consequences.  None of the Board, the Company nor the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person participating or eligible to participate hereunder.

		 

		

			17

		

 

			
	
			
				 SECTION 10.
			

			
	
			
			Effective Date of the Plan.

		
			The Plan, as hereby amended and restated, shall be effective on the date it is approved and adopted by the Board, including with respect to all Awards granted on or after March 1, 2005, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.
		

			
	
			
				 SECTION 11.
			

			
	
			
			Term of the Plan.

		
			No Award shall be granted under the Plan after March 18, 2025 (the 10th anniversary of March 18, 2015, which is the date this Plan was initially adopted by the Board subject to the approval of the Plan, as amended and restated, by the stockholders of the Company). However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.
