ARTICLE III

AWARDS AND ELIGIBILITY

3.1 Awards. Awards under the Plan shall be granted in the form of non-qualified stock options as described in Article IV or restricted stock units as described in Article VI. For the avoidance of doubt, no Option shall be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422(a) of the Code or any successor provision.

3.2 Maximum Shares Available. An aggregate of no more than 798 ###-###-#### shares of Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance with respect to Options and 15,000.0000 shares of Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance with respect to Deferred RSUs.

In the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or similar change affecting the Common Stock, the Board shall make such changes in the number and type of equity securities covered by outstanding Awards and the terms thereof as the Board determines are necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of the Participants under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any such transaction, the Board shall have the power to make such changes as it deems appropriate in the number and type of shares covered by outstanding Awards, the prices specified therein, and the securities or other property to be received upon exercise or settlement (which may include providing for cash payment (or no consideration) in exchange for cancellation of outstanding Awards). If any Awards expire unexercised or unpaid or are canceled, terminated or forfeited in any manner without the issuance of Common Stock or payment thereunder, the shares with respect to which such Awards were granted shall again be available under the Plan, subject to the foregoing maximum amounts. Shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise or settlement of Awards may be either authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or a combination thereof, as the Board shall determine.

3.3 Eligibility. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) may, from time to time, select the individuals who shall be eligible to participate in the Plan and the Awards to be made to each such Participant. The Committee may consider any factors it deems relevant in selecting the Participants and in making Awards to such Participants. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan (including determinations of which persons are to receive Awards and in what amount) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

3.4 No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, as applicable, shall confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employment of, or to continue to provide services to, the Company or its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate such Participant’s employment or service at any time for any or no reason or to change any terms of such Participant’s employment or service (including the rate of compensation).

3.5 Return of Prior Awards. The Committee shall have the right, at its discretion, to require the Participants to return to the Company Awards previously granted to them under the Plan in exchange for new Awards; provided that, no Participant shall be required, without such Participant’s prior written consent, to return any Award if the new Award is to be made on terms less favorable to such Participant than the Award to be returned. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Awards shall be upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Board at the time the new Awards are made.

3.6 Securities Laws. The Plan has been instituted by the Company to provide certain compensatory incentives to the Participants and is intended to qualify for an exemption from the registration requirements under (a) the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act and (b) applicable state securities laws.

(a) Time-Vesting Options.

(i) General. The Time-Vesting Options will be subject to time vesting only and will vest in equal twenty percent (20%) installments on each of the first five (5) anniversaries of the grant date, such that all Time-Vesting Options will be vested as of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the grant date (the “Time-Vesting Schedule”).

(iii) Sale of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing Time-Vesting Schedule, all Time-Vesting Options will fully vest immediately prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no accelerated vesting will occur pursuant to this Section 4.3(a)(iii) absent the consummation of such Sale of the Company.

(iv) IPO. An IPO of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any successor to any of them will not result in any accelerated vesting of the Time-Vesting Options, and all Time-Vesting Options will continue to vest according to the Time-Vesting Schedule.

(b) Performance-Vesting Options. The Performance-Vesting Options shall be subject to performance vesting and will only be deemed fully vested when they have vested in accordance with the terms hereof.

the nine (9)-month anniversary of the IPO, the following thresholds. For the avoidance of doubt, the first date on which the Performance-Vesting Options are eligible to vest under this Section 4.3(b)(ii) is the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the IPO, and the VWAP Average Price will be calculated by dividing the aggregate sale price of all shares of Common Stock sold during the VWAP Period by the total number of shares of Common Stock sold during the VWAP Period. A designated percentage of the Performance-Vesting Options will vest upon achievement of the designated VWAP Average Price thresholds for the applicable VWAP Period, as follows: (A) 2.0x Performance-Vesting Options (50% of the Performance-Vesting Options): one hundred percent (100%) of the 2.0x Performance-Vesting Options will vest as of the last day of a VWAP Period, if the VWAP Average Price during such VWAP Period equals or exceeds $[ ]; and (B) 2.5x-3.0x Performance-Vesting Options (50% of the Performance-Vesting Options): the 2.5x-3.0x Performance-Vesting Options will vest as of the last day of a VWAP Period on a straight-line basis based upon the achievement of a VWAP Average Price during such VWAP Period between $[ ] and $[ ], with zero percent (0%) vesting if the VWAP Average Price is below $[ ] and one hundred percent (100%) vesting if the VWAP Average Price equals or exceeds $[ ]. For the avoidance of doubt, no Performance-Vesting Options will vest under this Section 4.3(b)(ii) if the VWAP Average Price for an applicable VWAP Period is less than $[ ].

(iii) Determination of Vesting. The Board shall determine in its good faith discretion whether the relevant thresholds have been satisfied.

(iv) IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, any Performance-Vesting Options that are unvested as of the consummation of an IPO will continue to performance vest following an IPO in accordance with Section 4.3(b).

(c) Accelerator Options. The Accelerator Options will be subject to time vesting and will vest according to the Time-Vesting Schedule, including with respect to the accelerated time vesting provisions applicable upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company.

5.3 Procedure for Exercise. At any time after all or any portion of a Participant’s Options have fully vested and prior to their expiration, a Participant may exercise all or any portion (but not less than 10%) of such Options by (a) delivering written notice of exercise to the Company specifically identifying the particular Options to be exercised (an “Exercise Notice”), together with a written acknowledgment to each of the items set forth in Section 7.1 (including that such Participant has read and has been afforded an opportunity to ask questions of the management of the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding all financial and other information provided to such Participant regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries), (b) paying the applicable exercise price for such Options in connection with this Section 5.3 and the applicable Award Agreement and (c) delivering an executed joinder to the Stockholders Agreement in accordance with Article VIII below and such other representations and agreements (including any lock-up agreement) as the Company may deem necessary or advisable in connection with the exercise of such Options. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, payment by the Participant in connection with any exercise shall be (i) made by a check payable to the Company or a wire transfer of immediately available funds of the amount equal to the product of the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares of Award Stock to be acquired (the “Exercise Price Payment”), and the amount of any additional federal and state income taxes or any income taxes or employee’s social security contributions arising in any jurisdiction outside the United States required to be withheld (or accounted for to appropriate revenue authorities by the Participant’s employer) by reason of the exercise of the Options (the “Tax Payment,” which amount shall be calculated by the Company and provided to the Participant promptly following delivery of an Exercise Notice, and which shall be subject to later adjustment by the Company (with a corresponding payment by or refund to the Participant) in the event that any such adjustment is required), and (ii) due in full from the Participant at the same time as delivery of the Exercise Notice (with the portion representing taxes or contributions due within ten (10) business days of the date on which the Company informs the Participant in writing of the amount of such items pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3). For United States federal income tax purposes, the Company intends to treat Options as exercised at the time the Company issues the applicable Award Stock to the Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, each Participant shall be permitted to pay the Exercise Price Payment with respect to his or her Options by way of a cashless exercise, and the Board may permit, in its sole discretion, for a Participant to pay the Tax Payment with respect to his or her Options by way of a cashless exercise. Such cashless exercise shall be effectuated by the Company withholding from delivery to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the Exercise Price Payment and/or the Tax Payment (as applicable).

ARTICLE VI

DEFERRED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

6.1 Deferred RSUs. The Board shall have the right and power to grant to any Participant, at any time prior to the termination of the Plan, Deferred RSUs in such quantity, at such price, on such terms and subject to such conditions as are consistent with the Plan and established by the Board. Deferred RSUs granted under the Plan shall be in the form described in this Article VI, or in such other form or forms as the Board may determine, and shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions and evidenced by Award Agreements, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board.

6.2 Vesting. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, all of a Participant’s Deferred RSUs shall be fully vested as of the grant date.

6.3 Settlement. Within sixty (60) days following the first to occur between (a) a Sale of the Company (provided that such Sale of the Company also constitutes a “change in control event” under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) and (b) the Participant’s Termination Date (provided that such Termination Date also constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) (as applicable, the “Settlement Date”), the Participant shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock that corresponds to the number of Deferred RSUs then-outstanding, provided that, prior to the end of such sixty (60)-day period, the Participant has fulfilled all of the conditions to the settlement of such Deferred RSUs established by the Company (which conditions include (a) if the Participant is not already a party to the Stockholders Agreement as of the settlement of such Deferred RSUs, the Participant delivering an executed joinder to the Stockholders Agreement in accordance with Article VIII below and (b) executing such other representations and agreements (including any lock-up agreement) as the Company may from time to time deem to be necessary or advisable in connection with the settlement of Deferred RSUs). If the Participant has not satisfied all of the conditions to settling the Participant’s Deferred RSUs within sixty (60) days following the Settlement Date, Award Stock will not be issued to the Participant and such Deferred RSUs will be forfeited with no consideration due. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the applicable sixty (60)-day period referred to herein spans, or could reasonably be expected to span, two calendar years, then any settlement of such Deferred RSUs required to be made under this Section 6.3 shall be made in the later calendar year.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1 Representations on Exercise or Settlement. In connection with any exercise or settlement of any Award and the issuance of Award Stock thereunder (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act), the Participant shall, by the act of delivering the Exercise Notice or by the act of receiving Award Stock upon settlement of an Award (as applicable and without any further action on the part of the Participant), represent and warrant to the Company that, as of the time of such exercise or settlement, the Participant:

(a) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Participant’s investment in the Award Stock, and the Participant is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Award Stock for an indefinite period of time because the Award Stock is subject to the transfer restrictions contained in the Stockholders Agreement and has not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction or foreign nation and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of certain states or foreign nations or unless an exemption from such registration is available;

(b) is or was an officer, director, employee, consultant or advisor of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and, in connection with such employment or service, has obtained adequate information regarding the Company in order to make informed decisions regarding the acquisition and holding of Award Stock;

(c) has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Award Stock to be acquired by the Participant hereunder and has had full access and the opportunity to review such other information concerning the Company as the Participant may have requested in making the Participant’s decision to invest in the Award Stock being issued hereunder;

(d) acknowledges that the Award Stock is subject to the restrictions described herein and in the Stockholders Agreement, and the Participant has received and reviewed a copy of the Stockholders Agreement;

(e) acknowledges that any certificate representing the Award Stock shall include such legend(s) as are set forth in the Stockholders Agreement;

(f) has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only the Participant’s own legal, financial and tax advisors, and the determination of the Participant to acquire the Award Stock pursuant to the Plan has been made by the Participant independent of any statements or opinions as to the advisability of such acquisition or as to the properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Person or by any agent or employee of such Person, and independent of the fact that any other Person has decided to become a stockholder of the Company; and

(g) acknowledges that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations in this Section 7.1 and hereby consents to such reliance.

In connection with any exercise or settlement of any Award (or any portion thereof), the Participant shall make such additional customary investment representations as the Company may require and the Participant shall execute such documents necessary for the Company to perfect exemptions from registration under federal and state securities laws as the Company may reasonably request.

7.2 Non-Transferability.

(a) All Awards are personal to a Participant and are not Transferable by such Participant, other than by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution; provided that no such Transfer by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution shall be effective until the later of (i) twenty (20) days following the date that the Company receives written notice of such Transfer and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Board, the Company’s receipt of a written certification from each transferee stating that such Person is a “citizen of the United States” in accordance with 49 U.S.C. §§ 40102(a)(15) and 41102. Only a Participant, or the Participant’s estate, personal representatives or heirs are entitled to exercise any Option. All Award Stock issued pursuant to the exercise or settlement of any Award shall not be Transferable except as permitted pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of Awards or Award Stock issued upon exercise or settlement thereof which is not specifically permitted under the Plan or the Stockholders Agreement shall be null and void.

(b) No Participant shall make any Transfer prohibited by this Section 7.2 either directly or indirectly. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 7.2 shall be null and void.

(c) The Company shall issue, in the name of each Participant to whom Award Stock has been granted or sold, stock certificates representing the total number of shares of Award Stock granted or sold to such Participant, as soon as reasonably practicable after such grant or sale and deliver copies thereof.

7.3 Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant holding an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Award Stock issuable upon exercise or settlement thereof until such Participant has satisfied all conditions to such exercise or settlement, including having delivered a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement in accordance with Article VIII below.

7.4 Sale of the Company.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to Section 5.1(c), immediately prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company, the Board may (in its sole discretion), with respect to any or all of the Options that are outstanding and vested at such time, take any of the following actions (consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code) with respect to the Options: (i) provide for the assumption, substitution or continuation of such vested Options, (ii) if the Fair Market Value of the underlying Award Stock as of the consummation of the Sale of the Company exceeds the exercise price associated with such vested Options, cash out all or any portion of such vested Options in exchange for the Aggregate Spread, and (iii) if the Fair Market Value of the underlying Award Stock as of the consummation of the Sale of the Company is less than the exercise price associated with such vested Options, unilaterally terminate all or any portion of such vested Options for no consideration. All Options that are not assumed, substituted or continued will be terminated upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, immediately prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company, the Board may (in its sole discretion), with respect to any or all of the RSUs that are outstanding and vested but not yet settled in accordance with Section 6.3 at such time, take any of the following actions (consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code) with respect to the RSUs: (i) issue the underlying Award Stock or (ii) cash out all or any portion of such vested RSUs in exchange for the Fair Market Value of the underlying Award Stock as of the consummation of the Sale of the Company.

(c) Participants will (i) be required to execute any definitive transaction documents in connection with any Sale of the Company at the request of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Sponsors, or any of their collective successors and (ii) vote for (to the extent entitled to vote), at a stockholders meeting or by written consent, and shall consent to, participate in and raise no objections against, the Sale of the Company and the process by which such Sale of the Company is arranged.

ARTICLE VIII

JOINDERS

Receipt of any Award shall constitute agreement by the Participant receiving such Award to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, including with respect to the Award Stock, or any other Company Capital Stock, issuable to or held by such Participant. In furtherance thereof, upon the receipt of any Award Stock, and without any further required action of the Participant, the Company or any other Person, the Participant shall automatically become a party to the Stockholders Agreement as an Executive (and subject to the corresponding restrictions), and the Participant shall execute a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement. All of the terms of the Stockholders Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE IX

RESERVED

ARTICLE X

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Each Award, and the issuance of any Award Stock pursuant to an Award, shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal securities or other law or regulation or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition to or in connection with the granting of such Award or the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, no such Award may be exercised or settled in Common Stock, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval (a “Required Listing”) shall have been effected or obtained. In connection with any Required Listing, the holder of the Award will supply the Company with such certificates, representations and information as the Company shall request which are reasonably necessary or desirable in order for the Company to obtain such Required Listing, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining such Required Listing. In the case of officers and other persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Board may at any time impose any limitations upon the exercise or settlement of an Award which, in the Board’s discretion, are necessary or desirable in order to comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. If the Company, as part of an offering of securities or otherwise, finds it desirable because of federal or state regulatory requirements to reduce the period during which any Awards may be exercised or settled, the Board may, in its discretion and without the consent of the holders of any such Awards, so reduce such period on not less than ten (10) days’ written notice to the holders thereof.

ARTICLE XI

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

The Company and its Subsidiaries operate in a highly sensitive and competitive commercial environment. As part of the Participant’s employment and/or service with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, the Participant will be exposed to highly confidential and sensitive information regarding the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business operations, including corporate strategy, pricing and other market information, know-how, trade secrets, and valuable customer, supplier, strategic partner, licensee, licensor, lessor, regulatory and employee relationships. It is critical that the Company take all necessary steps to safeguard its legitimate protectable interests in such information and to prevent any of its competitors or any other persons from obtaining any such information. Therefore, as consideration for the Company’s agreement to award Awards to a Participant, each Participant agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Article XI; provided that the provisions of Sections 11.2 through 11.6 shall not apply to a Participant who is serving the Company Group exclusively as a non-employee director of the Company Group at the time of receipt of an Award.

11.1 Confidentiality. Each Participant agrees that he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any person or entity other than Company Group, or reveal, divulge, or disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity not expressly authorized by the Company to receive such Confidential Information. This obligation shall remain in effect for as long as the information or materials in question retain their status as Confidential Information. Each Participant further agrees that he or she shall reasonably cooperate with the Company Group in maintaining the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by law. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Participant shall not be restricted from disclosing information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order, in a proceeding to enforce the terms of the Plan, or other valid and appropriate legal process; provided, however, that in the event such disclosure is required by law, the Participant shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by the Participant.

(a) Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company, the Company’s Affiliates, the Participants or their respective attorneys from: (i) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information or documents in any action, investigation, or proceeding relating to the Plan or any Award made hereunder, or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (ii) participating, cooperating, or testifying in any action, investigation, or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, and/or pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; or (iii) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards. In addition, nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement prohibits or restricts the Company, the Company’s Affiliates or the Participants from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation.

(b) Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), a Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company or its Affiliates that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to the Participant’s attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If a Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret except under court order. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section.

11.2 Assignment of Inventions. Any copyrightable work falling within the definition of Work Product shall be deemed a “work-made-for-hire” under the copyright laws of the United States (17 U.S.C. 101 et seq.), and ownership of all rights therein shall vest in the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, from the moment of fixation. In the event that any Work Product is deemed not to be a “work-made-for-hire,” or if other rights may at any time be embodied in any Work Product, the Participant hereby assigns and transfers, and agrees to assign and transfer to the Company and its legal successors and assigns, the entire right, title, and interest in and to such Work Product. The Participant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all “moral rights” the Participant has in and to the Work Product. The Participant will promptly disclose any Work Product as may be susceptible of such manner of communication to the Company and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company (whether before or after the Participant’s Termination Date) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of assignments, affidavits, declarations, oaths, exhibits, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments and documentation) and to provide reasonable assistance to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the application and prosecution of any applications for any intellectual property rights or reissues thereof or in the prosecution or defense of interferences relating to any Work Product. Should the Company be unable to secure the Participant’s signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Work Product, whether due to the Participant’s mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, the Participant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as the Participant’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in the Participant’s behalf and stead, to execute and file any such document, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights or protections with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by the Participant.

11.3 Notice of Statutory Exception. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Work Product shall not include any invention developed entirely on the Participant’s own time without using any equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secrets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, unless such invention (a) relates at the time of conception or reduction to practice to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or its and actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (b) results from any work performed by the Participant for Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

11.4 Non-Competition. During the Restricted Period, a Participant will not, directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of another, (a) carry on or engage in one or more of the Restricted Lines of Business within the Restricted Territory or (b) own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control, of any business, whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise where such business is engaged in one or more of the Restricted Lines of Business within the Restricted Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.4 shall not restrict a Participant from passively investing in or holding up to two percent (2%) of the equity securities of an entity engaged in the Restricted Lines of Business, which securities are publicly traded.

11.5 Nonsolicitation of Employees and Contractors. During the Restricted Period, a Participant will not, directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit for employment or services, or encourage or attempt to persuade any employee or contractor of any member of the Company Group to terminate or otherwise modify his or her employment or service with such member of the Company Group; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the Participant’s right to participate in job fairs or to place advertisements not directed solely at the employees or contractors of members of the Company Group. An employee or contractor of any member of the Company Group shall be deemed covered by this Section 11.5 while such employee or contractor is employed or retained by such member of the Company Group and for a period of six (6) months after the termination of such employee’s or contractor’s employment or service with such member of the Company Group.

11.6 Nonsolicitation of Customers and Referral Sources. During the Restricted Period, a Participant will not, directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, (a) solicit any business related to the Restricted Lines of Business or (b) solicit any customer or referral source of any member of the Company Group to terminate or modify to such member of the Company Group’s disadvantage such customer’s or referral source’s business relationship with such member of the Company Group. This covenant is limited to customers and referral sources (i) that are located or otherwise conduct business in the Restricted Territory (as defined below) or (ii) with whom or which the Participant has had Material Contact on behalf of the Company Group during his or her employment and/or service with the Company. As to “customers,” this covenant is limited to solicitations in which a Participant offers products or services that are competitive with those offered by any member of the Company Group at the time of termination of employment or service. As to “referral sources,” this covenant is limited to solicitation for the purpose of obtaining referrals of the same type as referrals a member of the Company Group would seek from the referral source at the time of termination of employment or service.

11.7 Non-Disparagement. A Participant shall not make or solicit or encourage others to make or solicit directly or indirectly any derogatory or negative statement or communication about the Company Group or its Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, products, services or activities; provided that such restriction shall not prohibit truthful testimony compelled by valid legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings).

11.8 Return of Materials. Each Participant agrees that he or she will not retain or destroy (except as set forth below), and will immediately return to the Company Group on or prior to the Termination Date, or at any other time any member of the Company Group requests such return, any and all property of the Company Group that is in his or her possession or subject to his or her control, including, but not limited to, keys, credit and identification cards, personal items or equipment, customer files and information, papers, drawings, notes, manuals, specifications, designs, devices, code, email, documents, diskettes, CDs, tapes, keys, access cards, credit cards, identification cards, computers, mobile devices, other electronic media, all other files and documents relating to the Company Group and its business (regardless of form, but specifically including all electronic files and data of the Company Group), together with all Confidential Information in tangible or electronic form belonging to the Company Group or that the Participant received from or through his or her employment and/or service with the Company Group. A Participant will not make, distribute, or retain copies of any such information or property. To the extent that a Participant has electronic files or information in his or her possession or control that belong to the Company Group or contain Confidential Information (specifically including but not limited to electronic files or information stored on personal computers, mobile devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage), on or prior to the Termination Date, or at any other time any member of the Company Group requests, the Participant shall (a) provide the Company Group with an electronic copy of all of such files or information (in an electronic format that readily accessible by the Company Group); and (b) after doing so, delete all such files and information, including all copies and derivatives thereof, from all computers not owned by the Company Group, mobile devices, electronic media, cloud storage, or other media, devices, or equipment, such that such files and information are permanently deleted and irretrievable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall be permitted to retain a copy of mutually agreeable presentations and other documents not containing Confidential Information that demonstrate the results the Participant achieved with the Company Group, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.

11.9 Cooperation. Each Participant agrees that, for the Restricted Period and, if longer, during the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding arising from events and circumstances occurring during the Participant’s employment and/or service with the Company Group, (a) the Participant shall not communicate with anyone (other than the Participant’s attorneys and tax and/or financial advisors and except to the extent the Participant determines in good faith is necessary in the performance of the Participant’s duties) with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving the Company Group, other than any litigation or other proceeding in which the Participant is a party-in-opposition, without giving prior notice to the Company or the Company’s counsel, and (b) in the event that any other party attempts to obtain information or documents from the Participant (other than in connection with any litigation or other proceeding in which the Participant is a party-in-opposition) with respect to matters the Participant believes in good faith are related to such litigation or other proceeding, the Participant shall promptly so notify the Company’s counsel. The Participant agrees to cooperate, in a reasonable and appropriate manner, with the Company Group and its attorneys, both during, and after the termination of, the Participant’s employment and/or service, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to matters in which the Participant was involved prior to the Termination Date to the extent (i) the amount of time the Participant is required to devote or expend is reasonable in respect of the Participant’s ability to otherwise conduct the Participant’s business and affairs and earn a livelihood reasonably satisfactory to the Participant; and (ii) a member of the Company Group pays all Company-approved expenses the Participant incurs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) and

provides satisfactory reimbursement, on a per-day basis, to the Participant for the Participant’s time devoted and expended, in each case, in connection with such cooperation. Such reimbursement shall be at an hourly rate equivalent to the base salary the Participant was earning immediately prior to the Termination Date, divided by 2,080; provided that no additional compensation will be payable during any period of time during which the Participant is receiving severance or other post-termination pay from any member of the Company Group.

11.10 No Restriction on Earning a Living. Each Participant hereby acknowledges that the provisions of Article XI do not preclude the Participant from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on the Participant’s ability to earn a living. In addition, the Participant hereby acknowledges that the potential harm to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries of non-enforcement of Article XI outweighs any harm to the Participant of enforcement (by injunction or otherwise) of Article XI against the Participant. If any portion of the provisions of Article XI is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, territory, definition of activities covered, or definition of information covered is considered to be unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be narrowed, limited or redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of the Company and the Participant in agreeing to the provisions of Article XI will be preserved, and the provision in question shall be enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

11.11 Additional Acknowledgements; Remedies. Each Participant acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Article XI are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and that the Company would not have entered into the Plan or any Award Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. The Participant also acknowledges that any breach by the Participant of this Article XI will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. The Participant shall not, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of the provisions of the Plan, assert the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists or that this Article XI is unreasonable or otherwise not enforceable in accordance with their terms. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant challenges the reasonableness or enforceability of the restrictions contained in this Article XI, the Participant shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable. In the event of such breach by the Participant, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Article XI by seeking injunctive or other relief in any court, and the Plan shall not in any way limit remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to such entity. The periods of time set forth in this Article XI shall not include, and shall be deemed extended by, any period during which the Participant is in breach of any such restriction, and, if litigation is pursued by the Company or any Subsidiary, any time required for litigation to enforce the relevant covenant periods, provided that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is successful on the merits in any such litigation. The “time required for litigation” is herein defined to mean the period of time from the earlier of the Participant’s first breach of such covenants or service of process upon the Participant through the expiration of all appeals related to such litigation.

11.12 Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in this Article XI shall survive the termination of the Participant’s employment and service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.
