(c) Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall be subject to such conditions and risk of forfeiture as the Committee may determine at the time the Award is granted, which such conditions and risk of forfeiture may be based on continuing employment or service with the Company Group, achievement of pre-established performance objectives, a combination of such conditions or such other conditions as the Committee shall consider appropriate in its discretion.

(c) Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be subject to such conditions and risk of forfeiture as the Committee may determine at the time the Award is granted, which such conditions and risk of forfeiture may be based on continuing employment or service with the Company Group, achievement of pre-established performance objectives, a combination of such conditions or such other conditions as the Committee shall consider appropriate in its discretion.

To the extent applicable, (i) each amount or benefit payable pursuant to this Plan and any Award Agreement shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A and (ii) in the event the equity of the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise and the Grantee is a “specified employee” (as determined under the Company’s administrative procedure for such determinations, in accordance with Section 409A) at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment, any payments under this Plan or any Award Agreement that are payable upon termination of employment and deemed to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall not be paid or begin payment until the earlier of the Grantee’s death and the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Grantee’s date of termination of employment. For any Awards that are nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, any iteration of the word “termination” (e.g., “terminated”) with respect to a Grantee’s employment or service, shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company Group, any stockholder of the Company nor any of their respective affiliates shall be liable for, and each Grantee shall be solely liable and responsible for, any taxes (or interest or penalties) that may be imposed on such Grantee under Section 409A with respect to such Grantee’s receipt of any Award and payment thereunder.

 

Section 15. Adjustment. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (an “Event”), and, in the Committee’s opinion, such Event affects the Common Stock 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 or with respect to an Award, then the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of the following: (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded; (ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award. Any such adjustments shall be made in accordance with Section 409A and Section 424 of the Code (to the extent applicable) unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any regularly scheduled distribution or dividend paid pursuant to a distribution or dividend policy established by the Board constitute extraordinary dividends or extraordinary distributions.

 

Section 16. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. The Board may from time to time suspend, discontinue, terminate, revise or amend (i) the Plan in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any Award Agreement, to the extent provided in such Award Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall any such action adversely affect the rights of any Grantee in any material respect (without regard to any effect resulting from the individual circumstances of such Grantee) with respect to any previously granted Award without such Grantee’s consent, except to the extent such action is required by, or is necessary to comply with, law; provided, further, that no amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable Exchange. No Awards shall be made under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Section 17. Income Tax Withholding. If the Company determines it is required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state or local tax rules or regulations in respect of any Award, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts from any cash payments to be made to the holder of such Award. In any event, the holder shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company, promptly when requested by the Company, sufficient funds to meet the requirements of such withholding; and the Company shall be entitled to take and authorize such steps as it may deem advisable in order to have such funds made available to the Company out of any funds or property (including, if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the holder pursuant to the Award) due or to become due to the holder of such Award. Such withholding taxes may be paid by the withholding of Common Stock which would be paid or delivered pursuant to such grant or exercise of the Award only if permitted by the Committee, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in the Plan to the contrary, in no event may Common Stock with a Fair Market Value in excess of the legally required withholding amount based on the minimum statutory withholding rates (or, as permitted by the Company, such other rate as will not cause adverse accounting consequences and is permitted under applicable tax withholding rules) for federal and state tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income be withheld for the payment of tax obligations (in whole or part). The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settlement of withholding obligations with respect to an Award.

 

Section 18. General Provisions.

 

(a) No Right to Employment or Service. Nothing contained in this Plan, any Award Agreement or any Stockholder Agreement shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employ of, or association with, the Company Group or any affiliate of the Company Group, or affect any rights which the Company Group or any such affiliate may have to terminate such employment or association for any reason at any time.

 

(b) Non-Uniform Determinations. The Committee’s determinations of Awards under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive or are eligible to receive Awards (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to the person to receive Awards under the Plan, and the terms and provisions of any Awards granted under the Plan.

 

(c) Freedom of Action. Nothing contained in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement hereunder shall be construed to prevent the Company Group or any affiliate of the Company Group or any of the holders of Shares from taking any corporate action, including, but not limited to, any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, dissolution or sale, which is deemed by the Company Group, any such affiliate or any such holder of Shares to be appropriate or in its or their best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Awards thereunder.

 

(d) Section Headings; Construction. The section headings contained herein are for the purpose of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the contents of the sections. All words used in this Plan shall be construed to be of such gender or number, as the circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “including” does not limit the preceding words or terms.

 

(e) Governing Law. This Plan, any Award, and any Award Agreement hereunder and any conflicts arising hereunder or thereunder or related hereto or thereto shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of Delaware, all rights and remedies being governed by said laws, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles, to the fullest extent permitted by law, of conflicts of laws.

 

(f) Confidentiality. By acceptance of an Award, each Grantee agrees to maintain in confidence and not disclose the terms of this Plan, any Award granted hereunder or any Award or any Award Agreement (except to the extent required by law or to the Grantee’s immediate family and his or her professional advisors).

(g) Severability; Entire Agreement. In the event any provision of this Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award shall be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan, such Award or such Award Agreement (as applicable) and such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified as if the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included. The Plan, any Award Agreement and any Stockholder Agreement contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations and warranties between them, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

 

(h) Survival of Terms; Conflicts. The provisions of this Plan shall survive the termination of this Plan to the extent consistent with, or necessary to carry out, the purposes thereof. To the extent of any conflict between the Plan, any Award Agreement and any Stockholder Agreement, the Stockholder Agreement shall control; provided, however, that the Plan may impose greater restrictions or grant lesser rights than any Stockholder Agreement; and provided, further, that any Award Agreement may impose greater restrictions or grant lesser rights than either any Stockholder Agreement or the Plan. Subject to the second proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, in the event of any conflict between the Plan and any Award Agreement, the Plan shall control.

 

(i) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein or therein, none of the Plan, any Award Agreement or any Stockholder Agreement shall confer on any person other than the Company and the Grantee any rights or remedies thereunder.

 

(j) Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its subsidiaries and their successors and assigns.

 

(k) Notices. All notices, requests, waivers and other communications under the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be effectively given, sent, provided, delivered or received (i) when personally delivered to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed facsimile or by electronic mail (“e-mail”) to the party to be notified, (iii) three (3) business days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested, addressed to the party to be notified or (iv) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified with next-business day delivery guaranteed, in each case sent or addressed to the Company at its principal office and to the Grantee at the Grantee’s mailing address, facsimile number or e-mail address as carried in the record books of the Company or at such other mailing address, facsimile number or e-mail address as the Grantee may from time to time designate in writing to the Company.

 

(l) Unfunded Plan. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, Awards payable under the Plan shall be payable in Shares or from the general assets of the Company and no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment, delivery or issuance of such Awards. No Grantee or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock, except as expressly otherwise provided) of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company by reason of any Award hereunder. To the extent that a Grantee or other person acquires a right to receive payment, delivery or issuance pursuant to any Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

(m) Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, all Awards (and/or any amount received with respect to such Awards) shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, stock exchange listing requirements, or any recoupment policy of the Company. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, specify in an Award Agreement that the Grantee’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of employment or services for cause, termination of the Grantee’s provision of services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Grantee, or restatement of the Company’s financial statements to reflect adverse results from those previously released financial statements, as a consequence of errors, omissions, fraud, or misconduct.

(n) Issuance of Shares and Compliance with Securities Act. If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of Shares pursuant to Award is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act or otherwise, with respect to Shares or Awards, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company. Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Section, any Award affected by such suspension which shall not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all shares available before such suspension and as to shares which would otherwise have become available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of such Award unless provided in the Award Agreement.

 

(o) Effective Date. The Plan (as amended and restated) will become effective upon the Stockholder Approval Date. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan beyond ten (10) years after the date the Board first approved the Plan on January 16, 2018, but Awards granted on or before the expiration of the Plan shall remain valid in accordance with their terms, and may extend beyond such expiration date. At the time an Award is made or amended or the terms or conditions of an Award are changed in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Award Agreement, the Committee may provide for limitations or conditions on such Award.
