(d)    All decisions made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, omission, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates acting on their behalf shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Bylaws, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, omission, determination or interpretation.

All such shares of Common Stock that are available for the grant of Awards under the Plan may be granted as Incentive Stock Options.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, and subject to Sections 5 and 6 hereof:

(1)    no individual (including an individual who is a Covered Officer) will be granted Options or Stock Appreciation Rights for more than 750,000 Shares during any fiscal year; and

(2)    no individual who is a Covered Officer will be granted (A) Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, unrestricted Shares, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards for more than 800,000 Shares during any fiscal year or (B) an Award denominated in cash in excess of $3,000,000 during any fiscal year.

(c)    Shares issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the Participant, the Shares with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares that are exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan or the payment of any purchase price with respect to any other Award under the Plan, as well as any Shares exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy (i) the tax withholding obligations related to any Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan or (ii) the tax withholding obligations in excess of the minimum statutory rate in the applicable jurisdiction related to any other Award under the Plan, shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan, and notwithstanding that a Stock Appreciation Right is settled by the delivery of a net number of Shares, the full number of Shares underlying such Stock Appreciation Right shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Awards, such related Awards shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Award is exercised and, notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of Shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan. In addition, (i) to the extent an Award is denominated in Shares, but paid or settled in cash, the number of Shares with respect to which such cash payment or settlement is made shall again be available for grants of Awards pursuant to the Plan and (ii) Shares underlying Awards that can only be settled in cash shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

Section 5.    Equitable Adjustments.

(a)    In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made, in each case, as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and the maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Awards granted to any Participant in any fiscal year, (ii) the kind and number of securities subject to, and the Exercise Price of, any outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan, (iii) performance objectives, including objectives based on one or more of the Performance Goals and (iv) the kind, number and purchase price of Shares, or the amount of cash or amount or type of other property, subject to outstanding awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan, in each case as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Such other

equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Award granted hereunder in exchange for payment in cash or other property having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares, cash or other property covered by such Award, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price or purchase price thereof, if any; provided, however, that if the Exercise Price of any outstanding Award is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock, cash or other property covered by such Award, the Board may cancel such Award without the payment of any consideration to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, any adjustment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 424(h) of the Code and any regulations or guidance promulgated thereunder, and provided further that no such adjustment shall cause any Award hereunder which is or becomes subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to comply with the requirements of such Section. The Administrator's determinations pursuant to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 6.    Eligibility.

The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from those individuals who qualify as Eligible Recipients; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Non-Employee Directors shall also be eligible for Awards under the Plan, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board from time to time; provided, however, the aggregate value of all compensation paid or granted, as applicable, to any individual for service as a Non-Employee Director with respect to any calendar year, including equity Awards granted and cash fees paid by the Company to such Non-Employee Director, shall not exceed six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) in value, calculating the value of any equity Awards granted during such calendar year based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes. The Board may make exceptions to increase such limit to one million dollars ($1,000,000) for individual Non-Employee Directors in extraordinary circumstances, such as where a Non-Employee Director serves as the non-executive chairman of the Board or as a member of a special litigation or transactions committee of the Board, as the Board may determine in its discretion, provided that the Non-Employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation involving such Non-Employee Director.

Section 7.    Options.

(a)    General. The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by an Award Document, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its discretion, which Award Document shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option granted thereunder. Each Option shall be clearly identified in the applicable Award Document as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. The provisions of each Option need

not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and set forth in the applicable Award Document.

(b)    Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant, provided that the Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. If a Participant owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such Participant, the Exercise Price of such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required at the time of grant by the Code) shall be no less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(c)    Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, except that Incentive Stock Options granted to a Participant who owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, shall not be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option's term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

(d)    Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of performance objectives, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Document. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

(e)    Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the

Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.

(f)    Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company shall exceed $100,000, the portion of such Incentive Stock Options in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns (or is deemed to own under the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary unless (i) the Exercise Price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted and (ii) such Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(g)    Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, has satisfied the requirements of Section 15 hereof and, if requested, has given the representation described in paragraph (b) of Section 16 hereof.

(h)    Transfers of Options. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and in any event in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, no Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accord with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during the period the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant's guardian or legal representative. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, permit the gratuitous transfer during a Participant's lifetime of a Nonqualified Stock Option, (i) by gift to a member of the Participant's immediate family, (ii) by transfer by instrument to a trust for the benefit of such immediate family members, or (iii) to a partnership or limited liability company in which such family members are the only partners or members; provided, however, that, in addition to such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine in connection with any such transfer, no transferee may further assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the transferred Option, in whole or in part, other than by will or by operation of the laws of descent and distribution. Each such transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Award Document.

(i)    Termination of Employment or Service. In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all of its Affiliates of a Participant who has been

granted one or more Options, such Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after grant.

(j)    Other Change in Employment or Service Status. An Option shall be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status of a Participant, in the discretion of the Administrator. The Administrator shall follow any applicable provisions and regulations with respect to the treatment of Incentive Stock Options and the written policies of the Company (if any), including such rules, guidelines and practices as may be adopted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, as they may be in effect from time to time, with regard to such matters.

Section 8.    Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)    General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone ("Free Standing Rights") or in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan ("Related Rights"). In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, Related Rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, Related Rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Option. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded, the price per share, and all other conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for more shares than are subject to the Option to which it relates and any Stock Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Document.

(b)    Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right until the Participant has exercised such Stock Appreciation Right, has satisfied the requirements of Section 15 hereof and, if requested, has given the representation described in paragraph (b) of Section 16 hereof.

(c)    Exercisability.

(1)    Free Standing Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after grant.

(2)    Related Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof and this Section 8; provided, however, that a Related Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only if and when the

Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Incentive Stock Option exceeds the Exercise Price of such Option.

(d)    Payment Upon Exercise.

(1)    Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares equal in value to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of exercise over the price per share specified in the Free Standing Right (which price shall be no less than one hundred (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant) multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Free Standing Right is being exercised.

(2)    A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares equal in value to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option (which price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant) multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised.

(3)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right in cash or other property (or in any combination of Shares, cash or other property) to the extent that such settlement does not violate Section 409A of the Code.

(e)    Non-Transferability.

(1)    Free Standing Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent that an Option would be transferable under Section 7 hereof.

(2)    Related Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent that the underlying Option would be transferable under Section 7 hereof.

(f)    Termination of Employment or Service.

(1)    In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all of its Affiliates of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after grant.

(2)    In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all of its Affiliates of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Rights, such Related Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options.

(g)    Term.

(1)    The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

(2)    The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

Section 9.    Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units.

(a)    General. Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall be awarded; the number of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units; the Restricted Period (as defined in paragraph (b) of this Section 9), if any, applicable to Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units; the performance objectives, including objectives based on one or more Performance Goals, if any, applicable to awards of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units; and all other conditions of the Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units. If the restrictions, performance objectives and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units. The provisions of the Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b)    Restrictions and Conditions. Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or thereafter:

(1)    Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Restricted Shares Award Document or Restricted Stock Units Award Document, as appropriate, governing any such Award, during such period as may be set by the Administrator commencing on the date of grant (the "Restricted Period"), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units awarded under the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain performance objectives, the Participant's termination of employment or service with the Company and all of its Affiliates, or the Participant's death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the outstanding Awards shall be subject to Section 12 hereof.

(2)    Except as may be otherwise provided in a Restricted Share Award Document, the Participant shall have no right with respect to Restricted Shares to vote as a

stockholder of the Company during the Restricted Period or to receive dividends which are declared with respect to Restricted Shares with a record date during the Restricted Period. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Document, any Shares receivable with respect to the Restricted Shares pursuant to an equitable adjustment under Section 5 hereof in connection with a Change in Capitalization shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares. The Participant shall generally not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock Units during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Restricted Stock Units Award Document may provide the Participant with the right to receive dividend equivalent payments with respect to the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award during the Restricted Period, provided that such dividend equivalent payments shall be made upon (and subject to) the delivery of the Shares, cash or other property, as applicable, in respect of the Restricted Stock Units. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Document, upon the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units, there shall be delivered to the Participant, as soon as practicable following the date on which such Restricted Stock Units vest (but in any event within such period as is required to avoid the imposition of a tax under Section 409A of the Code), the number of Shares, cash or other property, as applicable, payable in respect of the Restricted Stock Units becoming so vested. For the avoidance of doubt, any dividend or dividend equivalent awarded with respect to Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or any other Award granted hereunder shall be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as the underlying Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or other Award.

(c)    Termination of Employment or Service. The rights of Participants granted Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units upon termination of employment or service with the Company and all of its Affiliates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Document.

Section 10.    Other Stock-Based Awards.

The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Stock-Based Awards, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and as evidenced by an Award Document. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, at the date of grant or thereafter, including any performance objectives (including objectives based on one or more of the Performance Goals) and performance periods. Common Stock or other securities or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 10 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, Shares, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action. Any dividend or dividend equivalent awarded pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as the underlying Awards and shall only become payable if (and to the extent) the underlying Awards vest.

Section 11.    Performance Awards.

(a)    General. The Administrator shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Participants who shall receive a Performance Award, which shall consist of a right

that is (i) denominated in cash or Common Stock, (ii) valued, as determined by the Administrator, in accordance with, or subject to, the achievement of such performance objectives, including objectives based on one or more of the Performance Goals, during such performance periods as the Administrator shall establish, and (iii) payable at such time and in such form as the Administrator shall determine. All Performance Awards shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 11.

(b)    Restrictions and Conditions. Subject to the terms of this Plan and any applicable Award Document, the Administrator 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 and kind of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award, and may amend specific provisions of the Performance Award; provided, however, that such amendment may not adversely affect existing Performance Awards made within a performance period commencing prior to implementation of the amendment.

(c)    Payment of Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the performance period or, in accordance with the procedures established by the Administrator, on a deferred basis. Termination of employment or service prior to the end of any performance period will result in the forfeiture of the Performance Award for that period, and no payments will be made with respect to that period, except that the Administrator at or after grant may provide that certain Performance Awards may be paid upon certain terminations of the Participant's employment or service with the Company. A participant's rights to any Performance Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and/or except as the Administrator may determine at or after grant.

Section 12.    Change in Control Provisions.

Unless otherwise evidenced in an Award Document, in the event that (i) a Change in Control occurs and (ii) either (x) an outstanding Award is not assumed or substituted in connection therewith or (y) an outstanding Award is assumed or substituted in connection therewith and the Participant's employment or service is terminated by the Company, its successor or any of its Affiliates without Cause on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twelve (12) months following such Change in Control, then:

(a)    any unvested or unexercisable portion of any Award carrying a right to exercise shall become vested and exercisable; and

(b)    the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested, and performance conditions imposed with respect to any such Awards that are performance-based shall be deemed to be fully achieved at target performance levels.

For purposes of this Section 12, an outstanding Award shall be considered to be assumed or substituted if, following the Change in Control, the Award remains subject to the

same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control except that, if the Award related to Shares, the Award instead confers the right to receive common stock of the acquiring entity (or such other security or entity as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 5 hereof).

Section 13.    Amendment and Termination.

The Board may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant's consent. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Board shall obtain approval of the Company's stockholders for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, any rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or other applicable law. If any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator reserves the right to (but is not obligated to) amend, modify or supplement such Award in order to cause it to either (i) not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or (ii) comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Administrator may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 5 hereof, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent.

Section 14.    Unfunded Status of Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

Section 15.    Withholding Taxes.

Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for purposes of applicable taxes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, an amount in respect of such taxes up to the maximum statutory rates in the Participant’s applicable jurisdiction with respect to the Award, as determined by the Company. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding tax requirements related thereto, as determined by the Company. Whenever Shares or property other than cash are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding tax requirements related thereto as determined by the Company; provided, that, with the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either (i) electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or other property, as applicable or (ii) by

delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value not exceeding the applicable taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations, as determined by the Company. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Award as determined by the Company.

Section 16.    General Provisions.

(a)    Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option granted hereunder unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b)    The Administrator may require each person acquiring Shares to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend that the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer which the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, arise under applicable securities laws or are otherwise applicable.

(c)    All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock may then be listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(d)    The Administrator may require a Participant receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to enter into a stockholder agreement or "lock-up" agreement in such form as the Administrator shall determine is necessary or desirable to further the Company's interests.

(e)    Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, unrestricted Shares, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan (other than such Awards

representing a maximum of five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof) shall be granted subject to a minimum vesting period of at least twelve (12) months, such that no such Awards shall vest pursuant to their stated ordinary course vesting terms prior to the first anniversary of the applicable grant date.

Section 17.    Effective Date.

The Plan was originally adopted and approved by the Board on June 5, 2014 (the "Effective Date") and was approved by stockholders of the Company on July 7, 2014. The first amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted and approved by the Board on August 3, 2017 and became effective upon receipt of stockholder approval at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and was subsequently amended on February 11, 2019. The current amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted and approved by the Board on September 16, 2019 and shall become effective upon and subject to receipt of stockholder approval at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no portion of such amendment and restatement shall apply to the extent necessary and desirable to maintain the qualification of previously granted Awards as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 18.    Term of Plan.

No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

Section 19.    Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code.

Unless otherwise provided in an Award Document, if any Participant shall, in connection with the acquisition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code, such Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten (10) days after filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding anything in any Award Document to the contrary, it shall be the Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code, even if the Participant requests the Company’s or its representative’s assistance in making such filing on the Participant's behalf. By accepting any Award granted hereunder, each Participant acknowledges that the tax laws and regulations applicable to grants of Awards and the disposition of shares of Common Stock relating to such Awards are complex and subject to change, and it is the sole responsibility of the Participant to obtain his or her own advice as to the tax treatment of the terms of the applicable Award Document.

Section 20.    No Fractional Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Administrator shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be

issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

Section 21.    Paperless Administration.

In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

Section 22.    Severability.

If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.

Section 23.    Clawback.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

Section 24.    Section 409A.

The Plan as well as payments and benefits under the Plan are intended to be exempt from, or to the extent subject thereto, to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment or service with the Company for purposes of the Plan and no payment shall be due to the Participant under the Plan or any Award until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a "separation from service" from the Company and its Affiliates within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the "short term deferral period" as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent that any Awards (or any other amounts payable under any plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates) are payable upon a separation from service and such payment would result in the imposition of any individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Section 409A of the Code, the settlement and payment of such Awards (or other amounts) shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service (or death, if earlier). Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this

Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A of the Code.

Section 25.    Governing Law.

The Plan shall be governed by and construed according to the law of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

Section 26.    Titles and Headings.

The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

Section 27.     Successors.

The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

Section 28.    Relationship to other Benefits.

No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare, or other benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.
