2 For example, if the Award Date is determined by the Committee to be March 1, 2017 and the Vesting Date is determined by the
Committee to be February 15, 2020, then the PSU Shares, if any (based on the Specific Performance Goals), will vest on

The Committee has determined to grant to the Recipient, under the Plan, performance-based Restricted
Stock Units (the “PSUs”) with respect to the PSU Shares stated on the Acceptance Page.
To evidence the PSUs and to set forth the terms and conditions thereof, the Company and the Recipient
agree as follows:
1. Confirmation of Grant.
(a) The Company grants the PSUs to the Recipient and the Recipient agrees to accept the
PSUs and participate in the Plan, effective as of the Award Date. As a condition of the grant, this Agreement and
the PSUs shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be subject to all applicable policies and
guidelines of the Company, including the Company’s compensation recovery policy.
(b) The PSUs shall be reflected in a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company
through the date on which the PSUs become vested pursuant to section 2 or are forfeited pursuant to section 3. The
Recipient acknowledges and agrees that (i) the PSU Shares merely represent the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that are granted under the PSUs and are not necessarily the number of shares of Common Stock that
will eventually vest in favor of the Recipient, and (ii) pursuant to section 2 and otherwise in accordance with this
Agreement and the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock, which will eventually vest in favor of the
Recipient under the PSUs (the “Vested Shares”), will be subject to the Specific Performance Goals and will be
between 0% and 120% of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares as defined on Exhibit A.
(c) The Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured. No
special or separate fund shall be established therefor and no other segregation of assets shall be required or made
with respect thereto. The rights of the Recipient under this Agreement shall be no greater than those of a general
unsecured creditor of the Company.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the PSUs shall be settled
by the issuance and delivery of the Vested Shares, or as provided in this Section 1(d), by cash or a combination
thereof (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), within sixty days after the last day of the Vesting
Period (a time or fixed schedule specified for the purpose of Code section 409A) subject to satisfaction of any other
terms and conditions applicable to the PSUs; provided, however, that the number of the Vested Shares issued or
delivered (or for which a cash payment is made) to the Recipient in any calendar year, together with the number of
shares of Common Stock issued or delivered (or for which a cash payment is made) to the Recipient in the same
calendar year under any other RSU Awards, shall not exceed the annual maximum aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock issuable or deliverable under RSU Awards as set forth in the Plan that is effective at the time of the
issuance or delivery of (or making a cash payment for) the PSUs. In settling the PSUs pursuant to the foregoing, the
Company (or its acquirer or successor) shall have the option (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion)
to make or provide for a cash payment to the Recipient, in exchange for the cancellation of the vested PSUs (or any
portion thereof), in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of the Vested Shares under the cancelled PSUs
and (B) the average closing price of a share of Common Stock over the period ending on the date the PSUs become
vested and starting 100 days prior to that date.
2. Vesting. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan and unless otherwise
forfeited pursuant to section 3, the PSUs shall vest, and the Restricted Period with respect to the PSUs shall
terminate, immediately following the last day of the Vesting Period; provided, however, that the PSUs shall vest
during the Vesting Period on the date, (a) immediately preceding the effective date of the Recipient’s Retirement as
determined by the Committee in relation to the PSUs: either (A) after reaching age 70 or (B) after reaching age 55
and having been employed or engaged by the Company or any Subsidiary for 15 years (provided that, if the
Recipient retires after reaching age 56, for each year after age 55, the Recipient may work one year less for the
Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, and still be qualified for Retirement under this sub-section (B)3), (b)
3 For example, if the Recipient retires at age 60 during the Vesting Period, he or she only needs to have worked for the Company
or the applicable Subsidiary for 10 years to be qualified for Retirement; and for example, if the Recipient retires at age 65 during
immediately preceding the Recipient’s death or the effective date of the Recipient’s Disability, and (c) the effective
date of the termination of the Recipient’s employment or engagement with the Company or any Subsidiary by the
Company or Subsidiary (which, whenever used in this Agreement, includes any such entity’s successor) without
Cause,4 or by the Recipient for a Good Reason,5 in either case only in connection with or within 24 months
following a Sale Event.6 On the day that the PSUs become vested pursuant to the foregoing, the PSU Shares stated
on the Acceptance Page shall be adjusted pursuant to the Specific Performance Goals as set forth on Exhibit A
attached hereto, and after the adjustment, become the total number of the Vested Shares that will be used to settle
the PSUs under section 1(d); provided, however, that, if the PSUs have vested during the Vesting Period, the PSUs
shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including adjustment pursuant to the
Specific Performance Goals during the Vesting Period, and in addition, the number of Vested Shares that will be
used to settle the PSUs under section 1(d) will be prorated so that the Recipient will only receive a portion of the
Vested Shares that is equal to the product of (x) the number of the Vested Shares and (y) a percentage that is equal
to the number of days between and including the first day of the Vesting Period and the day when the PSUs become
vested as divided by the number of days of the whole Vesting Period. The Recipient explicitly acknowledges and
agrees that (i) the Committee has the absolute discretion to determine the number of the Vested Shares, (ii) the
Committee may engage professional advisors and consultants and rely on their opinions and advice to make such
determination, (iii) such determination shall be binding on the Recipient, and (iv) the granting or vesting of the
PSUs as well as the Recipient’s holding of the Vested Shares shall be subject to all applicable policies and
guidelines of the Company, including the Company’s compensation recovery, stock ownership, and hedging,
pledging and trading policies.

for Retirement.

Company, the applicable Subsidiary, or the acquirer or successor of the Company or Subsidiary, and the Recipient, (i) conviction

the Subsidiary that employs or engages the Recipient are parties or of any published policy or guideline of the Company, (iii) any
act (other than retirement or other termination of employment or engagement) or omission to act by the Recipient which may
have a material and adverse effect on the business of the Company or Subsidiary or on the Recipient’s ability to perform services
for the Company or Subsidiary, including habitual insobriety or substance abuse or the commission of any crime, gross
negligence, fraud or dishonesty with regard to the Company or Subsidiary, or (iv) any material misconduct or neglect of duties
and responsibilities by the Recipient in connection with the business or affairs of the Company or Subsidiary; provided, however,
that the Recipient first shall have received written notice, which shall specifically identify what the Company or Subsidiary
believes constitutes Cause, and if the breach, act, omission, misconduct or neglect is capable of being cured, the Recipient shall
have failed to cure after 15 days following such notice.
5 A “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a material adverse change in the functions, duties or
responsibilities of the Recipient’s position (other than a termination by the Company or Subsidiary) which would meaningfully
reduce the level, importance or scope of such position (provided that, a change in the person, position and/or department to whom
the Recipient is required to report shall not by itself constitute a material adverse change in the Recipient’s position), (ii) the
relocation of the Company or Subsidiary office at which the Recipient is principally located immediately prior to a Sale Event
(the “Original Office”) to a new location outside of the metropolitan area of the Original Office or the failure to place the
Recipient’s own office in the Original Office (or at the office to which such office is relocated which is within the metropolitan
area of the Original Office), or (iii) a material reduction in the Recipient’s base salary and incentive compensation opportunity as
in effect immediately prior to a Sale Event; provided, however, that, within 90 days of the incident that provides the basis for a
Good Reason termination, the Recipient shall have provided the Company or Subsidiary a written notice specifically identifying
what the Recipient believes constitutes a Good Reason, and the Company or Subsidiary shall have failed to cure the adverse
change, relocation or compensation reduction after 30 days following such notice.
6 A “Sale Event” shall mean (i) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the
Subsidiary that employs or engages the Recipient, including a majority or more of all outstanding stock of the Subsidiary, on a
consolidated basis to one or more unrelated persons or entities, (ii) a Change in Control, or (iii) the sale or other transfer of
outstanding Common Stock to one or more unrelated persons or entities (including by way of a merger, reorganization or
consolidation in which the outstanding Common Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the successor entity)
where the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to such sale or other transfer, would not, immediately after such sale
or transfer, beneficially own shares representing in the aggregate more than 50 percent of the voting shares of the acquirer or
surviving entity (or its ultimate parent corporation, if any). For the purpose of sub-section (iii) of this definition, only voting
shares of the acquirer or surviving entity (or its ultimate parent, if any) received by stockholders of the Company in exchange for
Common Stock shall be counted, and any voting shares of the acquirer or surviving entity (or its ultimate parent, if any) already
owned by stockholders of the Company prior to the transaction shall be disregarded.

accordance with section 2 shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety if and at such time as (i) the
Recipient ceases to be an Employee, Outside Director or Consultant, as the case may be, or (ii) 24 months have
passed immediately following a Sale Event (provided that, in the event the surviving or acquiring entity or the new
entity resulting from a Sale Event substitutes a similar equity award for the PSUs, such award will continue in
accordance with its own terms and conditions), and (b) all PSUs, to the extent not theretofore settled in accordance
with section 1(d), shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety when and as provided in section 13(I)
of the Plan.

enter into an arrangement providing for the payment in cash, Common Stock or otherwise by the Recipient to the
Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (a) the granting or vesting of the
PSUs, (b) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the PSUs or the Vested Shares are subject, or (c) the
disposition of the PSUs or the Vested Shares, to the extent such arrangement does not cause a loss of the Section
16(b) exemption pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the
Recipient that the Vested Shares, when issued and delivered on the vesting of the PSUs in accordance with this
Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Recipient has received and read this Agreement and the Plan, that the Recipient has consulted with the Recipient’s
own legal, financial and other advisers regarding this Agreement and the Plan to the extent that the Recipient

of this Agreement and the Plan, and that the Recipient is relying solely on the Recipient’s own advisers with respect

a Sale Event with respect to the PSUs granted hereunder.
8. Adjustments to Reflect Capital Changes. Subject to and except as otherwise provided in section 9
of the Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to the PSUs shall be appropriately adjusted, as the Committee
may determine pursuant to section 11 of the Plan, to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, combination, exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other
similar change in capitalization, or any distribution to common stockholders other than normal cash dividends.

delivery of the Vested Shares shall entitle the Recipient, as such, or any of the Recipient’s Beneficiaries or Personal
Representative, to any rights of a stockholder of the Company, unless and until the Vested Shares are registered on
the Company’s records in the name or names of the Recipient or the Recipient’s Beneficiaries or Personal
Representative, as the case may be, and then only with respect to such Vested Shares so registered.
10. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on the Recipient any
right to continue in the employment of, or service to, the Company or any Subsidiary or limit, interfere with or

service at any time. If the Award of the PSUs is in connection with the Recipient’s performance of services as a
Consultant or Outside Director, references to employment, employee and similar terms shall be deemed to include
the performance of services as a Consultant or an Outside Director, as the case may be; provided that no rights as an
Employee shall arise by reason of the use of such terms.

delivery of the Vested Shares shall in all events be subject to and governed by section 13(C) of the Plan.

Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.
Exhibit A
Specific Performance Goals
(A). Basic Terms for the Specific Performance Goals.
The parties agree on the following terms for the Specific Performance Goals:
“Specific Performance Goals” means the number of the Vested Shares shall be equal to the sum of (1) the
number of the Further Adjusted Shares I and (2) the number of the Further Adjusted Shares II; calculated as follows:
( ( (A) the number of the Targeted Shares x (B) the Fair Value Multiplier / 2) x the Revenue CAGR Multiplier ) +
( ( (A) the number of the Targeted Shares x (B) the Fair Value Multiplier / 2) x the Revenue ROIC Multiplier );
provided, however, that in case of a Sale Event during the Vesting Period, as determined by the Committee
in its absolute discretion and to the extent as permitted under Code section 162(m) (without causing the PSUs to fail
to meet the requirements of “qualified performance-based compensation” thereunder) and under Code section 409A
(without causing the PSUs to fail to be exempt from or comply with 409A), the Specific Performance Goals
hereunder, including the Revenue CAGR Multiplier and/or the ROIC Multiplier, may be replaced by any of the
Performance Goals defined under the Plan, after being adjusted for the accounting fair value of the Specific
Performance Goals hereunder as of the Sale Event.7
“Targeted Shares” means the PSU Shares as divided by 121.8%.
(B). How to Determine the Specific Performance Goals.
The Committee has the absolute discretion to determine, and its determination shall be binding on the
Recipient with respect to, any of the following:
“Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares” means the number of the PSU Shares that is equal to the product of
(A) the number of the Targeted Shares and (B) the Fair Value Multiplier.
“Further Adjusted Shares I” means the number of the PSU Shares that is equal to the product of (A) 50%
of the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares and (B) the Revenue CAGR Multiplier.
7 In case of a Sale Event during the Vesting Period, in which (a) the Company ceases to exist, (b) the Subsidiary with which the
Recipient is employed or engaged is acquired, or (c) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or Subsidiary are sold or
otherwise disposed of, unless (i) the acquiring or surviving entity does not maintain an equity incentive program or (ii) a new
entity is created through the Sale Event and all stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Sale Event become
stockholders of the new entity, with respect to the remaining fiscal years of the Vesting Period (including any unfinished fiscal
year as of the Sale Event), as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion and to the extent as permitted under Code
section 162(m) (without causing the PSUs to fail to meet the requirements of “qualified performance-based compensation”
thereunder) and under Code section 409A (without causing the PSUs to fail to be exempt from or comply with 409A), the
Specific Performance Goals hereunder may be replaced by the Specific Performance Goals that the acquiring or surviving entity
uses in relation to the performance-based equity awards granted to its similarly-situated employees, consultants or outside
directors, after being adjusted for the accounting fair value of the Specific Performance Goals hereunder as of the Sale Event. In
the event a new entity results from the Sale Event and all stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Sale Event
become stockholders of the new entity, the Specific Performance Goals hereunder shall continue to apply to the PSUs, assumed,
continued or substituted upon the Sale Event as if the new entity is the Company. For example, if a Sale Event takes place in
June 2017, resulting in no new entity, and the Company ceases to exist, and if the Committee approves the goal replacement, the
fiscal year 2017 will still be subject to the Specific Performance Goals hereunder while the fiscal years 2018 and 2019 will be
subject to the aforementioned Performance Goals of the acquiring or surviving entity. In the event the acquiring or surviving
entity does not maintain an equity incentive program or the acquiring or surviving entity does not use any of the Performance
Goals defined under the Plan with respect to the performance-based equity awards granted to its similarly-situated employees,
consultants or outside directors, the Specific Performance Goals hereunder shall continue to apply to the PSUs, assumed,
continued or substituted upon the Sale Event as if the acquiring or surviving entity is the Company.
“Further Adjusted Shares II” means the number of the PSU Shares that is equal to the product of (A) 50%
of the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares and (B) the ROIC Multiplier.
“Prorated Allocation” means assigning a multiplier that is equal to the sum of (A) the applicable lower
percentage limit and (B) the product of (1) the difference between the applicable lower and upper percentage limits
and (2) a percentage that is equal to the Company’s TSR, Revenue CAGR or ROIC (each as defined below), as
applicable, as divided by the difference between the applicable lower and upper goal limits.
(B). Part I. Fair Value Multiplier.
“Fair Value Multiplier” shall be determined by the Committee on or prior to the Award Date, based on (i)
the fair value, calculated pursuant to the then-current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), of
the Targeted Shares as of the Award Date as if the TSR Multiplier as described below is applying to the Targeted
Shares during the Measurement Period, as divided by (ii) the fair value, calculated pursuant to GAAP, of the
Targeted Shares as of the Award Date as adjusted by the Revenue CAGR Multiplier and the ROIC Multiplier as
described below (where each of the Revenue CAGR Multiplier and the ROIC Multiplier is applying to 50% of the
Targeted Shares during the Measurement Period); provided, however, that the Fair Value Multiplier shall not be less
than 80% nor greater than 120%. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, when calculating the fair value of
the Targeted Shares under (i) and (ii) of this Section (B). Part I, the Committee may use a Monte Carlo model with
the Company’s TSR, Revenue CAGR or ROIC (each as defined below) performance as of the Award Date, as
applicable, as a data input. Pursuant to the foregoing, as of the Award Date, the Fair Value Multiplier has been
determined by the Committee to be 101.5%.
(B). Part II. TSR Multiplier.
“TSR Multiplier” shall be determined by the Committee as follows:
RTSR Ranking TSR Multiplier
the Company’s TSR is <=40th percentile
80%
the Company’s TSR is within >40th and < 50th percentile
Prorated Allocation within >80% and < 100%8
the Company’s TSR is at 50th percentile

the Company’s TSR is within >50th and < 85th percentile
Prorated Allocation within >100% and < 120%9
the Company’s TSR is >=85th percentile
120%
“Comparator Group” means all companies on the Standard & Poors Small Cap 600 Index (the “S&P Small
Cap 600”) on the date the Measurement Period begins, and that have not been delisted or suspended for more than
180 days during the Measurement Period; provided, however, that companies that have been acquired, merged, or
delisted due to reasons other than bankruptcy are removed from the Comparator Group.
“RTSR Ranking” means the ranking of the Company within the Comparator Group based on the
Company’s TSR relative to TSRs of other companies within the within the Comparator Group.
“TSR” with respect to any company within the Comparator Group, means total return to shareholders of
common stock from the beginning to the end of the Measurement Period as calculated by the Committee, taking into

Goals:14
(D). Part I. Example 1.
If the number of the PSU Shares, as stated on the Recipient’s Acceptance Page, is 24,360 shares of
Common Stock, then the number of the Targeted Shares is 20,000 shares.
12 For example, if the Company’s ROIC is the average of ROIC Threshold and ROIC Target, the applicable ROIC Multiplier is
75%.
13 For example, if the Company’s ROIC is the average of ROIC Target and ROIC Max, the applicable ROIC Multiplier is 110%.
14 No fractional shares will be issued or delivered pursuant to any Award, and therefore, any fractional shares may be forfeited or
otherwise eliminated as determined by the Committee. As a result, the decimal fractions of the number of the Vested Shares
presented in the examples below are rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Furthermore under this example, because as of the Award Date, the Fair Value Multiplier has been
determined by the Committee to be 101.5%, then the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares is 20,300
shares. Then, as a result, 50% of the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares is 10,150 shares.
Still further under this example, because as of the Award Date, the Revenue CAGR Threshold has been
determined by the Committee to be 5%, if following the end of the Measurement Period, the Company’s Revenue
CAGR is determined by the Committee to be 4.9%, then the Revenue CAGR Multiplier is 0%.
Still further under this example, because as of the Award Date, the ROIC Target has been determined by
the Committee to be 10% and the ROIC Max has been determined by the Committee to be 12%, if following the end
of the Measurement Period, the Company’s ROIC is determined by the Committee to be 11%, then the ROIC
Multiplier is 110%.
Then, as a result, the number of the Further Adjusted Shares I is 0 shares and the number of the Further
Adjusted Shares II is 11,165 shares, respectively.
Therefore, the number of the Vested Shares is 11,165 shares.
(D). Part II. Example 2.
If the number of the PSU Shares, as stated on the Recipient’s Acceptance Page, is 24,360 shares of
Common Stock, then the number of the Targeted Shares is 20,000 shares.
Furthermore under this example, because as of the Award Date, the Fair Value Multiplier has been
determined by the Committee to be 101.5%, then the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares is 20,300
shares. Then, as a result, 50% of the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares is 10,150 shares.
Still further under this example, because as of the Award Date, the Revenue CAGR Threshold has been
determined by the Committee to be 5% and the Revenue CAGR Target has been determined by the Committee to be
10%, if following the end of the Measurement Period, the Company’s Revenue CAGR is determined by the
Committee to be 8.75%, then the Revenue CAGR Multiplier is 75%.
Still further under this example, because as of the Award Date, the ROIC Target has been determined by
the Committee to be 10% and the ROIC Max has been determined by the Committee to be 12%, if following the end
of the Measurement Period, the Company’s ROIC is determined by the Committee to be 10.5%, then the ROIC
Multiplier is 105%.
Then, as a result, the number of the Further Adjusted Shares I is 7,612.5 shares and the number of the
Further Adjusted Shares II is 10,657.5 shares, respectively.
Therefore, the number of the Vested Shares is 18,270 shares.
(D). Part III. Example 3.
If the number of the PSU Shares, as stated on the Recipient’s Acceptance Page, is 24,360 shares of
Common Stock, then the number of the Targeted Shares is 20,000 shares.
Furthermore under this example, because as of the Award Date, the Fair Value Multiplier has been
determined by the Committee to be 101.5%, then the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares is 20,300
shares. Then, as a result, 50% of the number of the Initially Adjusted Targeted Shares is 10,150 shares.
Still further under this example, because as of the Award Date, the Revenue CAGR Target has been
determined by the Committee to be 10% and the Revenue CAGR Max has been determined by the Committee to be
15%, if following the end of the Measurement Period, the Company’s Revenue CAGR is determined by the
Committee to be 13%, then the Revenue CAGR Multiplier is 112%.
Still further under this example, because as of the Award Date, the ROIC Target has been determined by
the Committee to be 10% and the ROIC Max has been determined by the Committee to be 12%, if following the end
of the Measurement Period, the Company’s ROIC is determined by the Committee to be 15%, then the ROIC
Multiplier is 120%.
Then, as a result, the number of the Further Adjusted Shares I is 11,368 shares and the number of the
Further Adjusted Shares II is 12,180 shares, respectively.
Therefore, the number of the Vested Shares is 23,548 shares.

RSU Award shall set forth the payment date for such RSU Award, which date shall not be earlier than the end of the

Committee, if a Participant who holds an outstanding Option dies while employed, during the period when such
Participant, if Disabled, would be entitled to exercise such Option, or after such Participant’s Retirement, then such
Option shall be exercisable, at any time or from time to time, before the fixed termination date set forth in such
Option, by the Beneficiaries of the decedent for the number of shares that such Participant could have acquired on
exercise of such Option immediately before such Participant’s death.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement or as determined by the
Committee, if the employment of a Participant who holds an outstanding Option ceases by reason of Disability at
any time during the term of the Option, such Option shall be exercisable, at any time or from time to time, before the
fixed termination date set forth in such Option, by such Participant or his or her Personal Representative for the
number of shares that such Participant could have acquired on exercise of such Option immediately before such
Participant’s Disability.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement or as determined by the
Committee, if the employment of any Participant who holds an outstanding Option ceases by reason of Retirement,

Option, for the number of shares that such Participant could have acquired on exercise of such Option immediately
before such Participant’s Retirement.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, any Option may, in the
discretion of the Committee or as provided in the applicable Agreement, become exercisable, at any time or from
time to time, before the fixed termination date set forth in the Agreement relating to such Option, for the full number
of shares subject to such Option or any thereof, less such number as shall theretofore have been acquired on exercise
of such Option, from and after the time the Participant ceases to be an Employee as a result of the sale or other
disposition by the Company or any Subsidiary of assets or property (including shares of any Subsidiary) in respect
of which such Participant shall theretofore have been employed or as a result of which such Participant’s continued
employment is no longer required.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this section
7(E)(1) and sections 9(D) and 13(I) hereof, if the employment of any Participant who holds an outstanding Option
ceases, such Option shall be exercisable, at any time or from time to time, before the earlier of the fixed termination
date set forth in the Agreement relating to such Option and the ninetieth day after the cessation of such Participant’s
employment, for the number of shares that such Participant could have acquired on exercise of such Option
immediately before the cessation of such Participant’s employment; provided that such Option shall terminate on
and as of such earlier date.

SECTION 8. CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT
Nothing in this Plan, or in any Award granted pursuant to this Plan, shall confer on any Person any right to
continue in the employment of, or service to, the Company or any Subsidiary or limit, interfere with or otherwise
affect in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Recipient’s employment or service at
any time.
SECTION 9. CHANGE IN CONTROL
(A) Restricted Stock and RSU Awards. On a Change in Control, except as otherwise provided in the
applicable Agreement and subject to compliance with Code section 409A, either: (i) the surviving or resulting
corporation or the successor to the business of the Company shall substitute similar benefits for the Restricted Stock
Awards and RSU Awards outstanding under this Plan; or (ii) such Restricted Stock Awards or RSU Awards shall
continue in full force and effect; provided that, if such surviving or resulting corporation or such successor refuses to
substitute similar benefits for such Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards and refuses to continue such
Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards in full force and effect, and if the nature and terms of employment or
engagement, including compensation and benefits, of the respective Recipients will change significantly as a result
of the Change in Control, then the Restricted Period relating to each such Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award
shall terminate, and from and after such Change in Control, each such Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award shall
be free of all other restrictions for all shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs that shall not theretofore have been
acquired under the applicable Agreement.
(B) Option Awards. On a Change in Control, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Agreements,
either: (i) the surviving or resulting corporation or the successor to the business of the Company shall assume all
Options outstanding under this Plan or shall substitute similar options for those outstanding under this Plan, or (ii)
such Options shall continue in full force and effect; provided that, if such surviving or resulting corporation or such
successor refuses to assume or continue such Options or to substitute similar options for those outstanding under this
Plan, and if the nature and terms of employment or engagement, including compensation and benefits, of the
10
respective Recipients will change significantly as a result of the Change in Control, then each such Option shall
become immediately exercisable for the full number of shares subject to such Option or any thereof, less such
number as shall theretofore have been acquired on exercise of such Option, and shall be terminated if not exercised
before or at the time of such Change of Control.
(C) Cash-Out of Awards. In connection with a Change in Control, notwithstanding any of the foregoing
provisions of this section 9 to the contrary, the Committee may, either pursuant to the applicable Agreement or by
resolution adopted before the Change in Control, provide that any outstanding Award (or a portion thereof) shall, on
such Change in Control, be cancelled in exchange for payment in cash of the amount, if any, by which the aggregate
Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award exceeds the aggregate Exercise Price
therefor.
SECTION 10. WITHHOLDING TAXES
Federal, state or local law may require the withholding of taxes resulting from the grant or vesting of an
Award or the exercise of an Option. The Company may permit or require (subject to such conditions or procedures
as may be established by the Committee) any such tax withholding obligation of a Participant to be satisfied by any
of the following means, or by any combination of such means: (i) cash payment by such Participant to the Company;
(ii) withholding from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such Participant pursuant to the vesting or
exercise of an Award of a number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, as of the Tax
Date, sufficient to satisfy the withholding tax obligation; or (iii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a
number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, as of the Tax Date, sufficient to satisfy
the withholding tax obligation arising from the vesting or exercise of an Award. If the payment or delivery specified
in clause (i) or (iii) of the preceding sentence is required but is not paid by a Participant, the Company may refuse to
issue Common Stock to such Participant under this Plan.
SECTION 11. ADJUSTMENTS ON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, exchange of shares, split-up,
split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization, or any distribution to common stockholders
other than normal cash dividends, the number or kind of shares that may be issued under this Plan pursuant to
section 3 hereof and the number or kind of shares subject to, or the price per share under any outstanding Award,
shall be adjusted, automatically and without notice, so that the proportionate interests of the Recipients shall be
maintained as before the occurrence of such event; provided that no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this
section 11 that would (i) cause any Option intended to qualify as an ISO to fail to qualify as an ISO, (ii) cause an
Award that is otherwise exempt from Code section 409A to become subject to Code section 409A, or (iii) cause an
Award that is subject to Code section 409A to fail to satisfy the requirements of Code section 409A.
SECTION 12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Committee may amend this Plan at any time or from time to time; provided that: (i) the Committee
may not, without approval by the Board, materially increase the benefits provided to Recipients under this Plan; (ii)
any amendment with respect to Restricted Stock Awards or RSU Awards granted to Outside Directors must be
approved by the Board; and (iii) no amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for this Plan to continue
to comply with any provision of the Exchange Act, any rule promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Exchange Act, any rule of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on
11
which shares of Common Stock are listed, or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, shall be effective unless
such amendment shall be approved by the requisite vote of stockholders of the Company within the time period
required under such provision.
Without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) neither the Board nor the Committee will
authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option to reduce the Exercise Price thereof, except for adjustments
made pursuant to section 11 hereof, (ii) no outstanding Option will be cancelled and replaced with another Option
Award having a lower Exercise Price, or for another Award, or for cash, except as provided in section 9 or 11
hereof, and (iii) no Option will provide for the payment, at the time of exercise, of a cash bonus or grant or sale of
another Award; provided that this sentence is intended to prohibit, without stockholder approval, the re-pricing of
Options that have Exercise Prices above Fair Market Value and will not be construed to limit or prohibit any
adjustment pursuant to section 9 or 11 hereof.
The Committee may terminate this Plan at any time; provided that such termination shall not affect any
Awards theretofore made or any stock options theretofore granted under either of the Prior Plans and such Awards
and stock options shall continue to be subject to all terms and conditions of this Plan (including the second
paragraph of section 1 hereof) notwithstanding such termination.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(A) No Rights to Awards. No Person has or shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under
this Plan.
(B) Assignment and Transfer. No right or interest of any Recipient under this Plan or in any Award may
be assigned or transferred as a whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise (except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution), including by way of execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge
or bankruptcy or in any other manner, and no such rights or interests of any Recipient in this Plan shall be subject to
any obligation or liability of such Recipient; provided that the Committee may determine that a Recipient’s rights
and interests under this Plan or in any Award may be made transferable by such Recipient during his or her lifetime,
subject to such conditions as the Committee may specify. Except as provided in section 6 hereof, no Award shall
entitle the Recipient thereof, as such, or any of such Recipient’s Beneficiaries or Personal Representative, to any
rights of a stockholder of the Company, unless and until shares subject to such Award are issued to and registered on
the Company’s records in the name or names of such Recipient, Beneficiaries or Personal Representative, as the
case may be, and then only with respect to such shares.
(C) Compliance with Legal and Exchange Requirements. This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards
hereunder, the issuance of Common Stock and other interests hereunder, and the other obligations of the Company
under this Plan and any Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as the Committee may determine are necessary or
advisable. The Company or the Committee may postpone the grant or exercise of any Award, the issuance or
delivery of Common Stock under any Award or any other action permitted under this Plan to permit the Company,
with reasonable diligence, to complete such stock exchange listing or registration or qualification of such Common
Stock or other required action under any federal or state law, rule or regulation and may require any Recipient to
make such representations and furnish such information as the Committee may consider appropriate in connection
with the issuance or delivery of Common Stock in compliance with any and all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. The Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of this Plan or any Agreement to
recognize the exercise of any Award or otherwise to sell or issue Common Stock in violation of any such law, rule
12
or regulation. Any postponement of the exercise or settlement of any Award under this section 13(C) shall not
extend the term of any Award. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor any director or officer of the Company
shall have any obligation or liability to any Recipient with respect to any Award (or Common Stock issuable
thereunder) that shall lapse because of any such postponement.
(D) Section 409A. Awards granted under this Plan shall be designed and administered in a manner that
they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code section 409A. To the
extent that the Committee determines that any Award is subject to Code section 409A, the Agreement relating to
such Award shall incorporate terms and conditions necessary to avoid the imposition on the Recipient of additional
tax under Code section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or any Agreement (unless such
Agreement provides otherwise with specific reference to this section 13(D)): (i) no Award shall be granted, deferred,
accelerated, extended, paid, settled, substituted or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the
imposition on a Recipient of additional tax under Code section 409A; and (ii) if an Award is subject to Code section
409A, and if the Recipient to whom such Award is granted is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code section
409A, with such classification to be determined in accordance with methodology established by the Company), no
distribution or payment of any amount under such Award shall be made before a date that is six months following
the date of such Recipient’s “separation from service” (as defined in Code section 409A) or, if earlier, the date of
such Recipient’s death. The Company intends to administer this Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will
comply with, the requirements of Code section 409A; provided that the Company does not and shall not make any
representation or warranty that any Award under this Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Code
section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign law. The Company shall not be liable to any
Recipient for any tax, interest or penalties a Recipient might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise
or payment of any Award.
(E) Ratification and Consent. By accepting any Award under this Plan, each Recipient and each Personal
Representative or Beneficiary claiming under or through such Recipient shall be conclusively deemed to have
accepted, ratified and consented to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and any and all action taken under this
Plan by the Company, any Subsidiary, the Board or the Committee.
(F) Other Compensation. Nothing in this Plan shall prevent, limit or otherwise affect the right, power and
authority of the Board with respect to any other or additional compensation arrangements.
(G) Grant Date. Each Recipient shall be deemed to have been granted an Award on the date that the
Committee grants such Award under this Plan or such later date as the Committee shall determine at the time such
grant is authorized.
(H) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any
Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional
shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
(I) Forfeiture Provision. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the applicable Agreement, the
Committee may require a Recipient to forfeit all unexercised, unearned, unvested or unpaid Awards, if:
(1) the Recipient, while employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, prepares to engage or engages,
directly or indirectly, without the written consent of the Company, in any manner or capacity, as principal, agent,
partner, officer, director, employee or otherwise, in any business or activity competitive with any business
conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary, as determined by the Committee;
13
(2) the Recipient performs any act or engages in any activity that the Committee determines is materially
detrimental to the best interests of the Company or any Subsidiary; or
(3) the Recipient materially breaches any agreement with or duty to the Company or any Subsidiary,
including any non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement,
or assignment of inventions or ownership of works agreement, as determined by the Committee.
(J) Participants Outside the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, to
comply with the laws of other countries in which the Company and the Subsidiaries operate or have Employees or
Consultants, the Committee shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered
by this Plan; (ii) determine which Employees or Consultants outside the United States are eligible to participate in
this Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees or Consultants outside the
United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) modify exercise procedures and other terms and
procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable; and (v) take any action, before or after an
Award is made, that it deems necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any government regulatory
exemption or requirement; provided that the Committee is not authorized to take any action hereunder, and no
Awards shall be granted, that would violate any applicable law.
(K) Successors. All obligations of the Company under this Plan and with respect to Awards shall be
binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect
purchase, merger, consolidation or other event, or a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Company, and references to the “Company” herein and in any Agreements shall be deemed to refer to
such successors.
(L) Severability. If any provision of this Plan, or the application of such provision to any Person or
circumstance, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Plan, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby.
(M) Construction. The headings of the sections hereof are for convenience of reference only and are not
part of this Plan. As used herein, each gender includes each other gender, and the singular includes the plural and
vice versa, as the context may require. Reference herein to any section includes reference to each and all subsections
of such section. For purposes of this Plan, each of the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed
to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”
(N) Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and interpreted and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware.
SECTION 14. EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS PLAN
This amended and restated Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their approval at
their annual meeting scheduled to be held on April 21, 2015, or at such other annual or special meeting as the Board
may specify, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. This Plan will be effective as of the date of its approval
by the stockholders of the Company.
