(o) grant waivers of terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations under the Plan or applicable to any Award, or accelerate the vesting or exercisability of any Award;

(p) amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any outstanding Award and/or adjust the number and/or class of shares of stock subject to any outstanding Award;

(q) at any time and from time to time after the granting of an Award, specify such additional terms, conditions and restrictions with respect to such Award as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with any and all applicable laws or rules, including terms, restrictions and conditions for compliance with applicable securities laws or listing rules, methods of withholding or providing for the

payment of required taxes and restrictions regarding a Participant’s ability to exercise Options through a cashless (broker-assisted) exercise;

(r) establish any “blackout” period that the Committee in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable;

(s) exercise all such other authorities, take all such other actions and make all such other determinations as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper operation and/or administration of the Plan; and

(t) notwithstanding any provisions in this Plan, no action shall be taken which will prevent Awards hereunder that are intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A from doing so.

3.3. Award Agreements. The Committee shall, subject to applicable laws and rules, determine the date an Award is granted. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement; however, two or more Awards granted to a single Participant may be combined in a single Award Agreement. An Award Agreement shall not be a precondition to the granting of an Award; provided, however, that (a) the Committee may, but need not, require as a condition to any Award Agreement’s effectiveness, that such Award Agreement be executed on behalf of the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate and/or by the Participant to whom the Award evidenced thereby shall have been granted (including by electronic signature or other electronic indication of acceptance), and such executed Award Agreement be delivered to the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate and (b) no person shall have any rights under any Award unless and until the Participant to whom such Award shall have been granted has complied with the applicable terms and conditions of the Award. The Committee shall prescribe the form of all Award Agreements, and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, shall determine the content of all Award Agreements. Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, any Award Agreement may be supplemented or amended in writing from time to time as approved by the Committee; provided that the terms and conditions of any such Award Agreement as supplemented or amended are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy concerning the terms of an Award, the records of the Committee or its designee shall be determinative.

3.4. Discretionary Authority; Decisions Binding. The Committee shall have full discretionary authority in all matters related to the discharge of its responsibilities and the exercise of its authority under the Plan. All determinations, decisions, actions and interpretations by the Committee with respect to the Plan and any Award Agreement, and all related orders and resolutions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants, the Company and its stockholders, and any Subsidiary or Affiliate and all persons having or claiming to have any right or interest in or under the Plan and/or any Award Agreement. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant to making or taking such decisions, determinations, actions and interpretations, including the recommendations or advice of any Director or officer or Employee of the Company, any director, officer or Employee of a Subsidiary or Affiliate and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as the Committee may select. A Participant or other holder of an Award may contest a decision or action by the Committee with respect to such person or Award only on the grounds that such decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful, and any review of such decision or action shall be limited to determining whether the Committee’s decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful.

3.5. Attorneys; Consultants. The Committee may consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company. The Committee may employ such other attorneys and/or consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, agents and other persons, any of whom may be an Eligible Individual, as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate. The Committee, the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and their respective officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. The Committee shall not incur any liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the advice of such counsel or other persons.

3.6. Delegation of Administration. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, including any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3), or the applicable rules of a stock exchange or Section 152 and 157 (or any other applicable section) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Committee may, in its discretion, allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers under this Plan to any one or more of its members and/or delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers under this Plan to any

person or persons or body selected by it; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate to any executive officer of the Company or an Affiliate, or a committee that includes any such executive officer, the Committee’s authority to grant Awards, or the Committee’s authority otherwise concerning Awards, awarded to executive officers of the Company or an Affiliate. Any such authority delegated or allocated by the Committee under this Section 3.6 shall be exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and any rules, regulations or administrative guidelines that may from time to time be established by the Committee, and any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

ARTICLE IV.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

4.1. Number of Shares Available for Grants. The shares of stock subject to Awards granted under the Plan shall be Shares. Such Shares subject to the Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares acquired by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4, the total number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to Awards under the Plan from and after the Effective Date shall not exceed: (a) 475,000 Shares, plus (b) the number of Shares that remain available for issuance under the Prior Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date, plus (c) any Shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date (the “Prior Plan Awards”) that, on or after the Effective Date, are settled in cash, expire or are otherwise terminated without having been fully exercised or satisfied, or repurchased, as applicable. Of the total number of Shares that are available for issuance under the Plan, all may be granted as ISOs.

4.2. Rules for Calculating Shares Delivered. Subject to, in the case of ISOs, any limitations applicable thereto under the Code, if (a) any Shares are subject to an Option, SAR, or other Award (or Prior Plan Award) which for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled without having been fully exercised or satisfied, or are subject to any Restricted Stock Award (including any Shares subject to a Participant’s Restricted Stock Award that are repurchased by the Company at the Participant’s cost), Restricted Stock Unit Award or other Award granted under the Plan (or Prior Plan Award) which are forfeited, or (b) any Award (or Prior Plan Award) based on Shares is settled for cash, expires or otherwise terminates without the issuance of such Shares, then the Shares subject to such Award (or Prior Plan Award) shall, to the extent of any such expiration, termination, cancellation, forfeiture or cash settlement, be available for delivery in connection with future Awards under the Plan. Any Shares delivered under the Plan upon exercise or satisfaction of Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares available for delivery under the Plan. If the Option Price of any Option and/or tax withholding obligations relating to any Award (or Prior Plan Award) are satisfied by delivering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), the number of such Shares so delivered or attested to shall be deemed delivered for purposes of the limits set forth in Section 4.1. To the extent any Shares subject to an Award (or Prior Plan Award) are withheld to satisfy the Option Price (in the case of an Option) and/or the tax withholding obligations relating to such Award (or Prior Plan Award), such Shares shall be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of the limits set forth in Section 4.1. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the total number of Shares subject to such exercise shall reduce the number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan.

4.3. Award Limits for Non-Employee Directors. The maximum aggregate amount value of equity-based Awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any Fiscal Year shall not exceed $400,000, with fair value determined under applicable accounting standards as of the date of grant (“Director Award Limit”); provided that the Director Award Limit shall be increased to $600,000 (i) for any Non-Employee Director who serves as Chairman of the Board and (ii) for any Non-Employee Director for the year in which the Non-Employee Director is first appointed or elected to the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the annual award limit set forth in this Section 4.3(e) shall solely apply to Awards granted under this Plan and shall not apply to Shares or Share equivalents granted to a Non-Employee Director in lieu of all or any portion of such Non-Employee Director’s cash-based director fees.

4.4. Adjustment Provisions. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination or exchange, or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company (each a “Share Change”), or a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation, spin-off, split-up,

other distribution of stock or property (including any extraordinary cash or stock dividend), reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation, or similar event affecting the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board shall make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to (A) the aggregate number, class and kind of Shares or other securities reserved for issuance and delivery under the Plan, (B) the number, class and kind of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards; (C) the Option Price, Grant Price or other price of securities subject to outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and, to the extent applicable, other Awards; and (D) the Award limits set forth in Section 4.3; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. In the case of Corporate Transactions, such adjustments may include, without limitation, (1) the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee or the Board in its discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate Transaction with respect to which holders of Common Stock receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Committee that the value of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall for this purpose be deemed to be equal to the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each Share pursuant to such Corporate Transaction over the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall conclusively be deemed valid); (2) the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the Shares subject to outstanding Awards; and (3) in connection with any Disaffiliation, arranging for the assumption of Awards, or replacement of Awards with new awards based on other property or other securities (including other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding adjustments to Awards that remain based upon the Company securities). The Committee shall also make appropriate adjustments and modifications in the terms of any outstanding Awards to reflect, or related to, any such events, adjustments, substitutions or changes, including modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods. All determinations of the Committee as to adjustments, substitutions and changes, if any, under this Section 4.4 shall be conclusive and binding on the Participants.

4.5. No Limitation on Corporate Actions. The existence of the Plan and any Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in its capital structure or business structure, any merger or consolidation, any issuance of debt, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares, additional shares of capital stock or other securities or subscription rights thereto, any dissolution or liquidation, any sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

ARTICLE V.

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

5.1. Eligibility. Eligible Individuals shall be eligible to become Participants and receive Awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, subject to the limitations on the granting of ISOs set forth in Section 6.9.

5.2. Actual Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select Participants from all Eligible Individuals and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award.

ARTICLE VI.

STOCK OPTIONS

6.1. Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants in such number (subject to Article IV), and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Committee or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events,

including the achievement of performance goals, the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the recipient of the Option or within the control of others.

6.2. Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the maximum duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which the Option shall become exercisable and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine, which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an ISO (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Option, or the portion thereof which does not so qualify, shall constitute a separate NQSO.

6.3. Option Price. The Option Price for each Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 6.9(c), the Option Price of an Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of such Option; provided further, that Substitute Awards or Awards granted in connection with an adjustment provided for in Section 4.4, in the form of stock options, shall have an Option Price per Share that is intended to maintain the economic value of the Award that was replaced or adjusted, as determined by the Committee.

6.4. Duration of Options. Each Option granted to a Participant shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine as of the Grant Date and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its Grant Date.

6.5. Exercise of Options. Options shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance determine and set forth in the Award Agreement, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Option or Participant. An Award Agreement may provide that the period of time over which an Option other than an ISO may be exercised shall be automatically extended if on the scheduled expiration date of such Option the Participant’s exercise of such Option would violate an applicable law or the Participant is subject to a “black-out” period; provided, however, that during such extended exercise period the Option may only be exercised to the extent the Option was exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately prior to such scheduled expiration date; provided further, however, that such extended exercise period shall end not later than thirty (30) days after the exercise of such Option first would no longer violate such law or be subject to such “black-out” period.

6.6. Payment. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company, in a form specified or accepted by the Committee, or by complying with any alternative exercise procedures that may be authorized by the Committee, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for such Shares, which shall include applicable taxes, if any, in accordance with Article XVIII. The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Committee may accept. If approved by the Committee, and subject to any such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may prescribe and to the extent permitted by applicable law, payment of the Option Price, in full or in part, may also be made as follows:

(a) Payment may be made, in whole or in part, in the form of unrestricted and unencumbered Shares (by actual delivery of such Shares or by attestation) already owned by the Participant exercising such Option, or by such Participant and his or her spouse jointly (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Option is exercised); provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of such already owned Shares may be authorized only as of the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option and provided further that such already owned Shares must have been either held by the Participant for at least six (6) months at the time of exercise or purchased on the open market.

(b) Payment may be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the Option Price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal, state, local or non-United States withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may, to the extent

permitted by applicable law, enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms.

(c) Payment may be made by instructing the Committee to withhold a number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the product of: (i) the Option Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been exercised.

(d) Payment may be made by any other method approved or accepted by the Committee in its discretion.

Subject to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 6.6 and satisfaction of tax obligations in accordance with Article XVIII, the Company shall deliver to the Participant exercising an Option, in the Participant’s name, evidence of book entry Shares, in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased under the Option, subject to Article XV. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all payments under all of the methods described above shall be paid in United States dollars.

6.7. Rights as a Stockholder. No Participant or other person shall become the beneficial owner of any Shares subject to an Option, nor have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to any such Shares, until a book entry has been created for the Participant has actually received such Shares following exercise of his or her Option in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

6.8. Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee may establish and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement the terms and conditions on which an Option shall remain exercisable, if at all, upon a Termination of the Participant. The Committee may waive or modify these provisions at any time. To the extent that a Participant is not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of his or her Termination, or if the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Option) does not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified in the Award Agreement or below (as applicable), effective as of the date of such Termination, the Option shall terminate and the Shares underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan and become available for future Awards. In no event may an Option be exercised after the expiration date of such Option specified in the applicable Award Agreement, except as provided in the last sentence of Section 6.5. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.8, a Participant’s Option shall be forfeited upon his or her Termination, except as set forth below:

(a) Death. Upon a Participant’s Termination by reason of death, any Option held by such Participant that was vested and exercisable immediately before such Termination may be exercised at any time until the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the date of such death and (B) the expiration date of such Option specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Disability. Upon a Participant’s Termination by reason of Disability, any Option held by such Participant that was vested and exercisable immediately before such Termination may be exercised at any time until the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of such Termination and (B) the expiration date of such Option specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

(c) For Cause. Upon a Participant’s Termination for Cause, any Option held by such Participant shall be forfeited, effective as of such Termination.

(d) Other than Death, Disability, or For Cause. Upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason other than death, Disability, or for Cause, any Option held by such Participant that was vested and exercisable immediately before such Termination may be exercised at any time until the earlier of (A) the ninetieth (90th) day following such Termination and (B) the expiration date of such Option specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

(e) Death after Termination. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 6.8, if a Participant dies after such Participant’s Termination, but while his or her Option remains exercisable as set forth

above, such Option may be exercised at any time until the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the date of such death and (B) the expiration date of such Option specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.8, the Committee shall have the power, in its discretion, to apply different rules concerning the consequences of a Termination; provided, however, that such rules shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

6.9. Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.

(a) General. No ISO shall be granted to any Eligible Individual who is not an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Grant Date of such Option. Any ISO granted under the Plan shall contain such terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may determine to be necessary to qualify such Option as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Any ISO granted under the Plan may be modified by the Committee to disqualify such Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.

(b) $100,000 Per Year Limitation. Notwithstanding any intent to grant ISOs, an Option granted under the Plan will not be considered an ISO to the extent that it, together with any other “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to subsection (d) of such Section) under the Plan and any other “incentive stock option” plans of the Company, any Subsidiary and any “parent corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code, are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year with respect to Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be required by the Code) as of the Grant Date of the Option with respect to such Shares. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

(c) Options Granted to Certain Stockholders. No ISO shall be granted to an individual otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan who owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the Grant Date of such Option, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a Subsidiary or any “parent corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code. This restriction does not apply if at the Grant Date of such ISO the Option Price of the ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of such ISO, and the ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from such Grant Date.

ARTICLE VII.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

7.1. Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may grant an SAR (a) in connection with, and at the Grant Date of, a related Option (a Tandem SAR), or (b) independent of, and unrelated to, an Option (a Freestanding SAR). The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Shares to which a SAR pertains (subject to Article IV) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to any SAR.

7.2. Grant Price. The Grant Price for each SAR shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, subject to the limitations of this Section 7.2. The Grant Price for each Freestanding SAR shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of such Freestanding SAR, except in the case of Substitute Awards or Awards granted in connection with an adjustment provided for in Section 4.4. The Grant Price of a Tandem SAR shall be equal to the Option Price of the related Option.

7.3. Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the related Option is exercisable and may be exercised only

with respect to the Shares for which the related Option is then exercisable. A Tandem SAR shall entitle a Participant to elect, in the manner set forth in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, in lieu of exercising his or her unexercised related Option for all or a portion of the Shares for which such Option is then exercisable pursuant to its terms, to surrender such Option to the Company with respect to any or all of such Shares and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor a payment described in Section 7.7. An Option with respect to which a Participant has elected to exercise a Tandem SAR shall, to the extent of the Shares covered by such exercise, be canceled automatically and surrendered to the Company. Such Option shall thereafter remain exercisable according to its terms only with respect to the number of Shares as to which it would otherwise be exercisable, less the number of Shares with respect to which such Tandem SAR has been so exercised. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO: (a) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the related ISO; (b) the value of the payment with respect to the Tandem SAR may not exceed the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the related ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised and the Option Price of the related ISO; and (c) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

7.4. Exercise of Freestanding SARs. Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the Plan, determines and sets forth in the Award Agreement. An Agreement may provide that the period of time over which a Freestanding SAR may be exercised shall be automatically extended if on the scheduled expiration date of such SAR the Participant’s exercise of such SAR would violate an applicable law; provided, however, that during such extended exercise period the SAR may only be exercised to the extent the SAR was exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately prior to such scheduled expiration date; provided further, however, that such extended exercise period shall end not later than thirty (30) days after the exercise of such SAR first would no longer violate such law.

7.5. Award Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains, the Grant Price, the term of the SAR, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in accordance with the Plan.

7.6. Term of SARs. The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the term of any Tandem SAR shall be the same as the related Option and the term of any Freestanding SAR shall be not more than ten (10) years from the Grant Date.

7.7. Payment of SAR Amount. An election to exercise SARs shall be deemed to have been made on the date of Notice of such election to the Company. As soon as practicable following such Notice, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

(a) The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Grant Price of the SAR; by

(b) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.7 to the contrary, the Committee may establish and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement a maximum amount per Share that will be payable upon the exercise of a SAR. At the discretion of the Committee, such payment upon exercise of a SAR shall be in cash, in Shares of equivalent Fair Market Value, or in some combination thereof.

7.8. Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant receiving a SAR shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, actually earned upon satisfaction or achievement of the terms and conditions of the Award, and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, and not with respect to Shares to which such Award relates but for which a book entry is not created for such Participant.

7.9. Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee may establish and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement the terms and conditions under which a SAR shall remain exercisable, if at all, upon a Termination of the Participant; provided, however, that in no event may a SAR be exercised after the expiration date of such SAR specified in the applicable Award Agreement, except as provided in the last sentence of Section 6.5 (in

the case of Tandem SARs) or in the last sentence of Section 7.4 (in the case of Freestanding SARs). The provisions of Section 6.8 above shall apply to any SAR if the Award Agreement evidencing such SAR does not specify the terms and conditions upon which such SAR shall be forfeited or be exercisable or terminate upon, or after, a Termination of the Participant.

ARTICLE VIII.

RESTRICTED STOCK

8.1. Awards of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII and the Award Agreement, upon creation of a book entry evidencing a Participant’s ownership of Shares of Restricted Stock, pursuant to Section 8.6, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Article VIII or the applicable Award Agreement or as determined by the Committee.

8.2. Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine in accordance with the Plan.

8.3. Nontransferability of Restricted Stock. Except as provided in this Article VIII, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee and specified in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

8.4. Period of Restriction and Other Restrictions. The Period of Restriction shall lapse based on a Participant’s continuing service or employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, the achievement of performance goals, the satisfaction of other conditions or restrictions or upon the occurrence of other events, in each case, as determined by the Committee, at its discretion, and stated in the Award Agreement.

8.5. Delivery of Shares. Subject to Article XV, after the last day of the Period of Restriction applicable to a Participant’s Shares of Restricted Stock, and after all conditions and restrictions applicable to such Shares of Restricted Stock have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations), pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement, such Shares of Restricted Stock shall become freely transferable by such Participant.

8.6. Forms of Restricted Stock Awards. Each Participant who receives an Award of Shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued “book entry” Shares (i.e., a computerized or manual entry) in the records of the Company or its transfer agent in the name of the Participant who has received the Award. Such records of the Company or such agent shall, absent manifest error, be binding on all Participants who receive Restricted Stock Awards. Such records shall also refer to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:

“The transferability of the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Wingstop Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan and an Award Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of applicable law. Copies of such plan and agreement are on file at the offices of Wingstop Inc.”

The Committee may require a Participant who receives book entry Shares evidencing a Restricted Stock Award to immediately deposit a stock power or other appropriate instrument of transfer, endorsed in blank by the Participant, with signatures guaranteed in accordance with the Exchange Act if required by the Committee, with the Secretary of the Company or an escrow holder as provided in the immediately following sentence. The Secretary of the Company or such escrow holder as the Committee may appoint shall retain custody of the Shares representing a Restricted Stock Award until the Period of Restriction and any other restrictions imposed by the Committee or under the

Award Agreement with respect to the Shares evidenced by such certificate expire or shall have been removed. The use of book entries to evidence the ownership of Shares of Restricted Stock, in accordance with this Section 8.6, shall not affect the rights of Participants as owners of the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to them, nor affect the restrictions applicable to such Shares under the Award Agreement or the Plan, including the Period of Restriction.

8.7. Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a Participant’s Award Agreement, to the extent permitted or required by law, as determined by the Committee, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be granted the right to exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares during the Period of Restriction.

8.8. Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be credited with any cash dividends paid with respect to such Shares while they are so held, and such dividends shall be paid to the Participants if and when their rights vest at the end of the Period of Restriction, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. Except as set forth in the Award Agreement, in the event of (a) any adjustment as provided in Section 4.4, or (b) any shares or securities are received as a dividend, or an extraordinary dividend is paid in cash, on Shares of Restricted Stock, any new or additional Shares or securities or any extraordinary dividends paid in cash received by a recipient of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including the Period of Restriction, as relate to the original Shares of Restricted Stock.

8.9. Termination of Employment or Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.9, during the Period of Restriction, any Restricted Stock held by a Participant shall be forfeited and revert to the Company (or, if Shares of Restricted Stock were sold to the Participant, the Participant shall be required to resell such Shares to the Company at cost) upon the Participant’s Termination or the failure to meet or satisfy any applicable performance goals or other terms, conditions and restrictions to the extent set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Each applicable Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which, if any, the Participant shall have the right to retain Shares of Restricted Stock, then subject to the Period of Restriction, following such Participant’s Termination. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the applicable Award Agreement, need not be uniform among all such Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for, or circumstances of, such Termination.

ARTICLE IX.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

9.1. Awards of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine. A Restricted Stock Unit is a right to receive Shares following vesting pursuant to this Article IX; however, no Shares are actually awarded to a Participant who is granted Restricted Stock Units on the Grant Date thereof, and such Participant shall have no rights of a stockholder with respect to such Restricted Stock Units until they are settled in Shares pursuant to Section 9.4 below.

9.2. Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine in accordance with the Plan.

9.3. Period of Restriction and Other Restrictions. The Period of Restriction shall lapse based on a Participant’s continuing service or employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, the achievement of performance goals, the satisfaction of other conditions or restrictions or upon the occurrence of other events, in each case, as determined by the Committee, at its discretion, and stated in the Award Agreement.

9.4. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to Article XV, after the last day of the Period of Restriction applicable to a Participant’s Restricted Stock Units, and after all conditions and restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations),

pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement, such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled by delivery of Shares, a cash payment determined by reference to the then current Fair Market Value of Shares, or a combination of Shares and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, either by the terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise.

9.5. Voting and Dividend Rights. A Participant shall have no voting rights nor dividend rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units, but may be granted Dividend Equivalent Rights to the extent provided by the applicable Award Agreement as described in Article XII below.

9.6. Termination of Employment or Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.6, during the Period of Restriction, any Restricted Stock Units held by a Participant shall be forfeited and revert to the Company upon the Participant’s Termination or the failure to meet or satisfy any applicable performance goals or other terms, conditions and restrictions to the extent set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Each applicable Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which, if any, the Participant shall have the right to retain Restricted Stock Units, then subject to the Period of Restriction, following such Participant’s Termination. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the applicable Award Agreement, need not be uniform among all such Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for, or circumstances of, such Termination.

ARTICLE X.

PERFORMANCE SHARES, PERFORMANCE UNITS, AND CASH-BASED AWARDS

10.1. Grant of Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash-Based Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Performance Shares, Performance Units, and/or Cash-Based Awards may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee, in accordance with the Plan. A Performance Share, Performance Unit or Cash-Based Award entitles the Participant who receives such Award to receive Shares or cash upon the attainment of applicable performance goals for the applicable Performance Period, and/or satisfaction of other terms and conditions, in each case determined by the Committee, and which may be set forth in the Award Agreement. Such entitlements of a Participant with respect to his or her outstanding Performance Share, Performance Unit or Cash-Based Award shall be reflected by a bookkeeping entry in the records of the Company, unless otherwise provided by the Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of such Awards shall be consistent with the Plan and set forth in the Award Agreement and need not be uniform among all such Awards or all Participants receiving such Awards.

10.2. Earned Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash-Based Awards. Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash-Based Awards shall become earned, in whole or in part, based upon the attainment of performance goals specified by the Committee and/or the occurrence of any event or events and/or satisfaction of such terms and conditions, including a Change in Control, as the Committee shall determine, either at or after the Grant Date. The Committee shall determine the extent to which any applicable performance goals and/or other terms and conditions of a Performance Unit, Performance Share or Cash-Based Award are attained or not attained following conclusion of the applicable Performance Period. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive any such performance goals and/or other terms and conditions relating to any such Award.

10.3. Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards. Payment of earned Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards shall be as determined by the Committee and as set forth in the Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards in the form of cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash-Based Awards following conclusion of the Performance Period and the Committee’s determination of attainment of applicable performance goals and/or other terms and conditions in accordance with Section 10.2. Such Shares may be granted subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by the Committee, including a Period of Restriction or mandatory deferral. The determination of the Committee with

respect to the form of payment of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award.

10.4. Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant receiving a Performance Unit, Performance Share or Cash-Based Award shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, actually received by the Participant upon satisfaction or achievement of the terms and conditions of such Award and not with respect to Shares subject to the Award but not actually issued to such Participant.

10.5. Termination of Employment or Service. Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain Performance Units, Performance Shares and/or Cash-Based Awards following such Participant’s Termination. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the applicable Award Agreement, need not be uniform among all such Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for Termination.

ARTICLE XI.

STOCK-BASED AWARDS

11.1. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted Shares), in such amounts (subject to Article IV) and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine. More specifically, grants of equity-based or equity-related Awards can be made to pay all or a portion of a Participant’s salary or bonus or in addition to a Participant’s salary or bonus. Such Other Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual Shares to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares.

11.2. Value of Other Stock-Based Awards. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of Shares or units based on Shares, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish performance goals in its discretion, and any such performance goals shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance goals, the number and/or value of Other Stock-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participant will depend on the extent to which such performance goals are met.

11.3. Payment of Other Stock-Based Awards. Payment, if any, with respect to an Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, as set forth in the Award Agreement, in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, as the Committee determines.

11.4. Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall determine the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive Other Stock-Based Awards following the Participant’s Termination. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, such provisions may be included in the applicable Award Agreement, but need not be uniform among all Other Stock-Based Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for Termination.

ARTICLE XII.

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

12.1. Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no adjustment shall be made in the Shares issuable or taken into account under Awards on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Shares prior to issuance of such Shares under such Award. The Committee may grant Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Shares that are subject to any Award, including any Award the payment or settlement of which is deferred pursuant to Section 21.6. Dividend Equivalents may be credited as of the dividend payment dates, during the period between the Grant Date of the Award and the date the Award becomes payable or terminates or expires. Dividend Equivalents may be subject to any limitations and/or restrictions determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time, and shall be paid at such times, as may be determined by the Committee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable until and to the extent the underlying Award vests or is exercised; provided, that in no event shall Dividend Equivalents relate to Shares underlying Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights unless such Dividend Equivalent rights are explicitly set forth as a separate arrangement and do not cause any such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right to be subject to Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE XIII.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

13.1. Performance Measures. The performance goals upon which the granting, payment and/or vesting of Awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation may occur shall be based on the Performance Measures selected by the Committee, which may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following or any derivations thereof: net sales; systemwide sales; comparable store sales; revenue; revenue growth or product revenue growth; operating income (before or after taxes); pre- or after-tax income or loss (before or after allocation of corporate overhead and bonus); earnings or loss per share; net income or loss (before or after taxes); adjusted operating income; adjusted net income; adjusted earnings per share; channel revenue; channel revenue growth; franchising commitments; manufacturing profit; manufacturing profit margin; store closures; return on equity; total stockholder return; return on assets or net assets; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the shares or any other publicly-traded securities of the company; market share; gross profits; earnings or losses (including earnings or losses before taxes, before interest and taxes, or before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization); economic value-added measurements; comparisons with various stock market indices; reductions in costs; cash flow or cash flow per share (before or after dividends); return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital); cash flow return on investment; attainment of expense, working capital, cash, inventory or accounts receivable levels; operating margin; gross margin; year-end cash; cash margin; debt reduction; stockholders’ equity; market share; customer satisfaction; customer growth; supply chain achievements (including establishing relationships with suppliers or points of distribution); gross or net store openings; financial ratios, including those measuring liquidity, activity, profitability or leverage; cost of capital or assets under management; financing, factoring transactions and other capital raising transactions; strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified goals with respect to research, development, manufacturing, commercialization, products or projects, production volume levels, acquisitions and divestitures; and recruiting or turnover of personnel.

13.2. Evaluation of Performance. The Committee may provide in the Award Agreement or otherwise as later determined by the Committee with respect to any such Award that any evaluation of performance shall include or exclude certain events that occur during a Performance Period, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, which events may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) gains or losses on sales or dispositions, (b) asset write-downs, (c) changes in tax law or rate, including the impact on deferred tax liabilities, (d) the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles or changes in accounting policies, (e) acquisitions or dispositions occurring after the start of a Performance Period or unbudgeted costs incurred related to future acquisitions, (f) operations discontinued, divested or restructured, including severance costs, (g) gains or losses on refinancing or extinguishment of debt, (h) foreign exchange gains and losses and (i) any other event the Committee shall deem appropriate.

13.3. Committee Discretion. In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval.

ARTICLE XIV.

TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS; BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

14.1. Transferability of Incentive Stock Options. No ISO or Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Code, by gift or other transfer to any trust or estate in which the original ISO recipient or such recipient’s spouse or other immediate relative has a substantial beneficial interest, or to a spouse or other immediate relative, provided that any such transfer is permitted subject to Rule 16b-3 issued pursuant to the Exchange Act as in effect when such transfer occurs and the Board does not rescind this provision prior to such transfer; or (iii) in accordance with Section 14.3. No ISO or Tandem SAR shall be transferable pursuant to a domestic relations order or similar order. Further, all ISOs and Tandem SARs granted in connection with ISOs granted to a Participant shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

14.2. All Other Awards. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.5 or Section 14.3 or a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, no Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) by gift or other transfer to any trust or estate in which the original Award recipient or such recipient’s spouse or other immediate relative has a substantial beneficial interest, or to a spouse or other immediate relative, provided that any such transfer is permitted subject to applicable laws, including (but not limited to) Rule 16b-3 issued pursuant to the Exchange Act as in effect when such transfer occurs and the Board does not rescind this provision prior to such transfer; provided that the Committee may restrict transferability and/or may permit further transferability, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability, subject to Section 14.1 and applicable Period of Restriction; provided further, however, that no Award shall be transferable pursuant to a domestic relations order or similar order. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, or unless the Committee decides to permit further transferability, subject to Section 14.1 and any applicable Period of Restriction, all Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan, and all rights with respect to such Awards, shall be exercisable or available during his or her lifetime only by or to such Participant. With respect to those Awards, if any, that are permitted to be transferred to another individual, references in the Plan to exercise or payment related to such Awards by or to the Participant shall be deemed to include, as determined by the Committee, the Participant’s permitted transferee. In the event any Award is exercised by or otherwise paid to the executors, administrators, heirs or distributees of the estate of a deceased Participant, or such a Participant’s beneficiary, or the transferee of an Award, in any such case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Agreement and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be specified from time to time by the Committee, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue Shares thereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied, as determined in the discretion of the Committee, that the person or persons exercising such Award, or to receive such payment, are the duly appointed legal representative of the deceased Participant’s estate or the proper legatees or distributees thereof or the named beneficiary of such Participant, or the valid transferee of such Award, as applicable. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance of an Award that does not comply with this Section 14.2 shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

14.3. Beneficiary Designation. If provided in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise permitted by the Committee, a Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries who shall be permitted to exercise his or her Option or SAR or to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of the Participant’s death before he or she fully exercises his or her Option or SAR or receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such beneficiary designation, or if no beneficiary survives the Participant, or if a beneficiary designation is not enforceable and/or valid under the inheritance and other laws in the Participant’s country, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, a Participant’s unexercised Option or SAR, or amounts due but remaining unpaid to such Participant, at the Participant’s death, shall be exercised or paid as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

ARTICLE XV.

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW; LIMITATIONS ON AWARDS

15.1. The granting of Awards, the issuance of Shares under the Plan and the implementation and operation of the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

15.2. If at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration and/or qualification of Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or non-United States law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the sale or purchase of Shares hereunder, the Company shall have no obligation to allow the grant, exercise or payment of any Award, or to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under the Plan, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent and/or approval shall have been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

15.3. If, at any time, counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of Shares pursuant to an Award is or may be in the circumstances unlawful or result in the imposition of excise or other taxes on the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate 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 other applicable laws, or otherwise with respect to Shares or Awards and the right to exercise or payment of any Option or Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of such counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise or other taxes on the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

15.4. Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Article XV 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 the Shares which would otherwise have become available during the period of such suspension, but no suspension shall extend the term of any Award.

15.5. The Committee may require each person receiving Shares in connection with any Award under the Plan to represent and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring such Shares for investment without a view to the distribution thereof, and/or provide such other representations and agreements as the Committee may prescribe. The Committee, in its absolute discretion, may impose such restrictions on the ownership and transferability of the Shares purchasable or otherwise receivable by any person under any Award as it deems appropriate. Any such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and the certificates evidencing such shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any such restrictions.

15.6. An Award and any Shares received upon the exercise or payment of an Award shall be subject to such other transfer and/or ownership restrictions and/or legending requirements as the Committee may establish in its discretion and may be referred to on the certificates evidencing such Shares, including restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

15.7. The provisions and operation of the Plan are intended to ensure that no transaction under the Plan is subject to (and not exempt from) the short-swing profit recovery rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award granted to an Insider shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule, and the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such limitations.

ARTICLE XVI.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

16.1. Change in Control.

(a) The occurrence of a Change in Control will not itself result in the cancellation, acceleration of exercisability or vesting, lapse of any Period of Restriction or settlement or other payment with respect to any outstanding Award to the extent that the Board or the Committee determines in its discretion, prior to such Change in Control, that such outstanding Award shall be honored or assumed, or new rights substituted therefor (such honored, assumed or substituted Award being hereinafter referred to as an “Alternative Award”) by the Acquiror, provided that any Alternative Award must: (i) be based on securities that are traded on an established United States securities market, or which will be so traded within sixty (60) days following the Change in Control; (ii) provide the Participant (or each Participant in a class of Participants) with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable under such Award, including an identical or better exercise or vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods of payment; (iii) have substantially equivalent economic value to such Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, as determined by the Board or the Committee (as such was constituted prior to the Change in Control) in its discretion; and (iv) not subject the Participant to the assessment of additional taxes or interest under Section 409A of the Code. In the event that an Alternative Award is provided to a Participant, and the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Acquiror (or the applicable employer of the Participant) without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason within two (2) years following the Change in Control, then any conditions on a Participant’s rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to, such Alternative Award shall be waived or shall lapse in full, and such Alternative Award shall become fully vested and exercisable, as the case may be.

(b) In the event Section 16.1(a) does not apply:

(i) all outstanding Awards shall become fully vested, nonforfeitable and, to the extent applicable, exercisable immediately prior to the Change in Control;

(ii) the Board or the Committee (as constituted prior the Change in Control) shall provide that in connection with the Change in Control (A) each outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled in exchange for an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the Change in Control over the Option Price or Grant Price applicable to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (B) each Share of Restricted Stock, each Restricted Stock Unit and each other Award denominated in Shares shall be cancelled in exchange for an amount equal to the Change in Control Price multiplied by the number of Shares covered by such Award, (C) each Award not denominated in Shares shall be cancelled in exchange for the full amount of such Award, and (D) any Award the payment or settlement of which was deferred under Section 21.6 or otherwise shall be cancelled in exchange for the full amount of such deferred Award;

(iii) the performance goals applicable to any outstanding Awards of Performance Shares, Performance Units, Cash-Based Awards and other Awards shall be deemed to have been attained at the target level (unless actual performance exceeds the target, in which case actual performance shall be used) for the entire applicable Performance Period then outstanding; and

(iv) the Board or the Committee (as constituted prior the Change in Control) may, in addition to the consequences otherwise set forth in this Section 16.1, make adjustments and / or settlements of outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate and consistent with the Plan’s purposes.

(c) Payment of any amounts in accordance with this Section 16.1 shall be made in cash or, if determined by the Board or the Committee (as constituted prior to the Change in Control), in securities of the Acquiror that are traded on an established United States securities market, or which will be so traded within sixty (60) days following the Change in Control, having an aggregate fair market value (as determined by such Board or Committee) equal to such amount or in a combination of such securities and

cash. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable in full, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) business days, following the Change in Control.

16.2 Certain Terminations Prior to Change in Control. Any Participant who incurs a Termination under any circumstances other than involuntary Termination for Cause or resignation without Good Reason on or after the date on which the Company entered into an agreement in principle the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, but prior to such consummation, and such Change in Control actually occurs, shall be treated, solely for purposes of the Plan (including this Article XVI), as continuing in the Company’s, or the applicable Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s, employment or service until the occurrence of such Change in Control and to have been Terminated under such circumstances immediately thereafter.

16.3 No Implied Rights; Other Limitations. No Participant shall have any right to prevent the consummation of any of the acts described in Section 4.4 or 16.1 affecting the number of Shares available to, or other entitlement of, such Participant under the Plan or such Participant’s Award. Any actions or determinations of the Committee under this Article XVI need not be uniform as to all outstanding Awards, nor treat all Participants identically. Notwithstanding the adjustments described in Section 16.1, in no event may any ISO be exercised after ten (10) years from the Grant Date thereof, and any changes to ISOs pursuant to this Article XVI shall, unless the Committee determines otherwise, only be effective to the extent such adjustments or changes do not cause a “modification” (within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code) of such ISOs or adversely affect the tax status of such ISOs.

16.4 Termination, Amendment, and Modifications of Change in Control Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan (but subject to the limitations of the last sentence of Section 17.1 and Section 17.2) or any Award Agreement provision, the provisions of this Article XVI may not be terminated, amended, or modified on or after the date of a Change in Control to materially impair any Participant’s Award theretofore granted and then outstanding under the Plan without the prior written consent of such Participant.

16.5 Excess Parachute Payments. It is recognized that under certain circumstances: (a) payments or benefits provided to a Participant might give rise to an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (b) it might be beneficial to a Participant to disclaim some portion of the payment or benefit in order to avoid such “excess parachute payment” and thereby avoid the imposition of an excise tax resulting therefrom; and (c) under such circumstances it would not be to the disadvantage of the Company to permit the Participant to disclaim any such payment or benefit in order to avoid the “excess parachute payment” and the excise tax resulting therefrom.

Accordingly, the Participant may, at the Participant’s option, exercisable at any time or from time to time, disclaim any entitlement to any portion of the payment or benefits arising under this Plan which would constitute “excess parachute payments,” and it shall be the Participant’s choice as to which payments or benefits shall be so surrendered, if and to the extent that the Participant exercises such option, so as to avoid “excess parachute payments” provided, however, that Participant must first surrender payments or benefits that are payable in the same calendar year as the event giving rise to such “excess parachute payment” and, if additional payments or benefits are surrendered, must then surrender payments or benefits that are payable in the immediately succeeding calendar year and provided further that no payment or benefit that is surrendered shall affect the amount of payment or benefit payable in a subsequent calendar year.

ARTICLE XVII.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

17.1. Amendment, Modification, and Termination. The Board may, at any time and with or without prior notice, amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan, and the Committee may, to the extent permitted by the Plan, amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, including any Award Agreement, in each case, retroactively or prospectively; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall be made which, without first obtaining approval of the stockholders of the Company (where such approval is

necessary to satisfy (i) the then-applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, (ii) any requirements under the Code relating to ISOs, or (iii) any applicable law, regulation or rule (including the applicable regulations and rules of the SEC and any national securities exchange)), would:

(a) except as is provided in Section 4.4, increase the maximum number of Shares which may be sold or awarded under the Plan or increase the maximum limitations set forth in Section 4.3;

(b) except as is provided in Section 4.4, decrease the minimum Option Price or Grant Price requirements of Sections 6.3 and 7.2, respectively;

(d) extend the duration of the Plan or the maximum period during which Options or SARs may be exercised under Section 6.4 or 7.6, as applicable;

(e) cancel Options or SARs in exchange for cash or another Award at a time when the Options or SARs have an exercise price that is higher than the Fair Market Value of a Share; or

(f) otherwise require stockholder approval to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule (including the applicable regulations and rules of the SEC and any national securities exchange).

In addition, (A) no such amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Award theretofore granted, including any Award Agreement, shall be made which would materially impair the previously accrued rights of a Participant under any outstanding Award without the written consent of such Participant, provided, however, that the Board may amend or alter the Plan and the Committee may amend or alter any Award, including any Agreement, either retroactively or prospectively, without the consent of the applicable Participant, (x) so as to preserve or come within any exemptions from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, pursuant to the rules and releases promulgated by the SEC (including Rule 16b-3), or (y) if the Board or the Committee determines in its discretion that such amendment or alteration either (I) is required or advisable for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy, comply with or meet the requirements of any law, regulation, rule or accounting standard or (II) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that such diminishment has been or will be adequately compensated, and (B) except in connection with a Share Change or Corporate Transaction or as otherwise provided in Section 4.4, but notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, neither the Board nor the Committee may take any action: (1) to amend the terms of an outstanding Option or SAR to reduce the Option Price or Grant Price thereof, cancel an Option or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR with a lower Option Price or Grant Price, or that has an economic effect that is the same as any such reduction or cancellation; or (2) to cancel an outstanding Option or SAR in exchange for the grant of another type of Award, without, in each such case, first obtaining approval of the stockholders of the Company of such action.

17.2. Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Board or the Committee shall make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards as the Board or the Committee deems appropriate and equitable in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including the events described in Section 4.4) affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the financial statements of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, rules or accounting principles. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan.

ARTICLE XVIII.

TAX WITHHOLDING AND OTHER TAX MATTERS

18.1. Tax Withholding. The Company and/or any Subsidiary or Affiliate are authorized to withhold from any Award granted or payment due under the Plan the amount of all federal, state, local and non-United States taxes due in respect of such Award or payment and take any such other action as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Committee, to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income or wages of a Participant for federal, state, local, or non-United States tax purposes with respect to any Award, such Participant shall pay to the Company, or make

arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or non-United States taxes or social security (or similar) contributions of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee in its discretion), and the Company and the Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such Participant, whether or not under the Plan.

18.2. Withholding or Tendering Shares. Without limiting the generality of Section 18.1, subject to any applicable laws, the Committee may in its discretion permit a Participant to satisfy or arrange to satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax obligations incident to an Award by: (a) electing to have the Company withhold Shares or other property otherwise deliverable to such Participant pursuant to his or her Award (provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy required federal, state, local and non-United States withholding obligations calculated using up to maximum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and/or non-United States tax purposes, including payroll taxes, in the applicable jurisdiction) and/or (b) tendering to the Company Shares already owned by such Participant (or by such Participant and his or her spouse jointly) and either held by the Participant for at least six (6) months at the time of exercise or purchased on the open market, based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date as determined by the Committee. All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock.

18.3. Restrictions. The satisfaction of tax obligations pursuant to this Article XVIII shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions required by applicable law or the rules and regulations of the SEC, and shall be construed consistent with an intent to comply with any such applicable laws, rules and regulations.

18.4. Special ISO Obligations. The Committee may require a Participant to give prompt written notice to the Company concerning any disposition of Shares received upon the exercise of an ISO within: (i) two (2) years from the Grant Date of such ISO to such Participant or (ii) one (1) year from the transfer of such Shares to such Participant or (iii) such other period as the Committee may from time to time determine. The Committee may direct that a Participant with respect to an ISO undertake in the applicable Award Agreement to give such written notice described in the preceding sentence, at such time and containing such information as the Committee may prescribe, and/or that the book entry Shares acquired by exercise of an ISO refer to such requirement to give such notice.

18.5. Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to an Award as of the date of transfer of Shares rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, such Participant shall deliver a copy of such election to the Company upon or prior to the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have any liability or responsibility relating to or arising out of the filing or not filing of any such election or any defects in its construction.

18.6. No Guarantee of Favorable Tax Treatment. Although the Company intends to administer the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. The Company shall not be liable to any Participant for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of any Award under the Plan.

18.7. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.

(a) It is the intention of the Company that no Award shall be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A unless and to the extent that the Committee specifically determines otherwise as provided in

paragraph (b) of this Section 18.7, and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.

(b) The terms and conditions governing any Awards that the Committee determines will be subject to Section 409A of the Code, including any rules for payment, including elective or mandatory deferral of the payment or delivery of cash or Shares pursuant thereto, and any rules regarding treatment of such Awards in the event of a Change in Control, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall be intended to comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan and the terms and conditions of such Awards shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.

(c) The Committee shall not extend the period to exercise an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to the extent that such extension would cause the Option or Stock Appreciation Right to become subject to Code Section 409A.

(d) Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, each Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit, Performance Share, Cash-Based Award and/or Other Stock-Based Award shall be paid in full to the Participant no later than the fifteenth day of the third month after the end of the first calendar year in which such Award is no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. If the Committee provides in an Award Agreement that a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit, Performance Share, Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award is intended to be subject to Code Section 409A, the Award Agreement shall include terms that are intended to comply in all respects with Code Section 409A.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, no event or condition shall constitute a Change in Control with respect to an Award to the extent that, if it were, a 20% additional income tax would be imposed under Section 409A of the Code on the Participant who holds such Award; provided that, in such a case, the event or condition shall continue to constitute a Change in Control to the maximum extent possible (for example, if applicable, in respect of vesting without an acceleration of payment of such an Award) without causing the imposition of such 20% tax.

ARTICLE XIX.

LIMITS OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

19.1. Limits of Liability.

Any liability of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to any Participant with respect to any Award shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by the Plan and the Award Agreement.

(a) None of the Company, any Subsidiary, any Affiliate, any member of the Board or the Committee or any other person participating in any determination of any question under the Plan, or in the interpretation, administration or application of the Plan, shall have any liability, in the absence of bad faith, to any party for any action taken or not taken in connection with the Plan, except as may expressly be provided by statute.

(b) Each member of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be considered to be acting in his or her capacity as a director of the Company. Members of the Board of Directors and members of the Committee acting under the Plan shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the advice of counsel and shall incur no liability except for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of their duties.

(c) The Company shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (i) the non-issuance of Shares as to which the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any third party involved in the issuance of the Shares has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having relevant jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Committee or the Company’s counsel to be necessary or advisable to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, and (ii) any tax consequence realized by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Award.

19.2. Indemnification. Subject to the requirements of Delaware law, each individual who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board, or an officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Article III, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of the individual’s own willful misconduct or except as provided by statute. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individual may be entitled under the charter or by-laws of the Company, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify or hold harmless such individual.

ARTICLE XX.

FORFEITURE AND RECOUPMENT

20.1. Forfeiture Events. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority to determine (and may so provide in any Agreement) that a Participant’s (including his or her estate’s, beneficiary’s or transferee’s) rights (including the right to exercise any Option or SAR), payments and benefits with respect to any Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment (to the extent permitted by applicable law) in the event of the Participant’s Termination for Cause; serious misconduct; violation of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s policies; breach of fiduciary duty; unauthorized disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate; breach of applicable noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants; or other conduct or activity that is in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or otherwise detrimental to the business, reputation or interests of the Company and/or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; or upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the applicable Award Agreement (in any such case, whether or not the Participant is then an Employee or Non-Employee Director). The determination of whether a Participant’s conduct, activities or circumstances are described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made by the Committee in its discretion, and pending any such determination, the Committee shall have the authority to suspend the exercise, payment, delivery or settlement of all or any portion of such Participant’s outstanding Awards pending an investigation of the matter.

20.2. Recoupment. Awards and benefits under this Plan will be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Company, to the extent the Committee deems it necessary or appropriate: (a) to comply with any applicable laws, rules, regulations, stock exchange listing requirements, or any current or future rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other governmental agency, as they may be amended from time to time, including, without limitation, recoupment requirements imposed pursuant to Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5210, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (b) to recover any overpayment or mistaken payment, including a payment based on deficient financial information; or (c) to comply with the terms of any Company policy, including but not limited to, the terms of the Company’s Clawback Policy, or any successor thereto (“Clawback Policy”). This Section 20.2 will be applied by the Committee, at its discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In addition, any Award Agreement (or any part thereof) may provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an Award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Company of any gain related to an Award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, and which may operate to create additional rights for the Company with respect to awards and recovery of amounts relating thereto. By accepting Awards under the Plan, Participants agree and acknowledge that they are obligated to cooperate with, and provide any and all assistance necessary to, the Company to recover or recoup any award or amount paid under this Plan subject to claw-back pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or Company policy. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and

submitting any documentation necessary to recover or recoup any award or amounts paid under this Plan from a Participant’s accounts, or pending or future compensation awards.

21.3. Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

21.4. Transfer, Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, a transfer of an Eligible Individual from the Company to an Affiliate or Subsidiary (or, for purposes of any ISO granted under the Plan, only a Subsidiary), or vice versa, or from one Affiliate or Subsidiary to another (or in the case of an ISO, only from one Subsidiary to another), and a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall not be deemed a Termination of the Eligible Individual for purposes of the Plan or with respect to any Award (in the case of ISOs, to the extent permitted by the Code).

21.5. Exercise and Payment of Awards. An Award shall be deemed exercised or claimed when the Secretary of the Company or any other official or other person designated by the Committee for such purpose receives appropriate written notice from a Participant, in form acceptable to the Committee, together with payment of the applicable Option Price, Grant Price or other purchase price, if any, and compliance with Article XVIII in accordance with the Plan and such Participant’s Award Agreement.

21.6. Deferrals.

21.7. No Effect on Other Plans.

21.8. No Rights or Claims Created by Plan. The adoption of the Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible Individual or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. No person shall have any rights or claims under the Plan except in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. The liability of the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate under the Plan is limited to the obligations expressly set forth in the Plan, and no term or provision of the Plan may be construed to impose any further or additional duties, obligations, or costs on the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof or the Board or the Committee not expressly set forth in the

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Participant’s right or entitlement to exercise or otherwise vest in any Award not exercisable or vested at the Grant Date thereof shall only result from continued employment or services with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions or restrictions applicable, by its terms, to such Award, except, in each such case, as the Committee may, in its discretion, expressly determine otherwise.

21.9. Participants Deemed to Accept Plan.

21.11. Plan Unfunded. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon exercise or payment of any Award. Proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to Options or other Awards granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.

21.12. Administration Costs. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan, including expenses of issuing Shares pursuant to any Options or other Awards granted hereunder.

21.13. Subsidiary or Affiliate Eligible Individuals. In the case of a grant of an Award to any Eligible Individual of a Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the Shares, if any, covered by the Award to such Subsidiary or Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that such Subsidiary or Affiliate will transfer such Shares to such Eligible Individual in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Award and those of the Plan. The Committee may also adopt procedures regarding treatment of any Shares so transferred to a Subsidiary or Affiliate that are subsequently forfeited or canceled.

21.14. Right of Offset. The Company and the Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall have the right to offset against the obligations to make payment or issue any Shares to any Participant under the Plan, any outstanding amounts (including travel and entertainment advance balances, loans, tax withholding amounts paid by the employer or amounts repayable to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile or other employee programs) such Participant then owes to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate and any amounts the Committee otherwise deems appropriate pursuant to any tax equalization policy or agreement.

21.15. Participants Based Outside of the United States.

WINGSTOP INC.

2024 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

SERVICE–BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Service-based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”) evidences the award (the “Award”) by Wingstop Inc. (the “Company”) to the grantee named below (the “Grantee”) of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted in the amount and on the date (the “Grant Date”) set forth below, in accordance with the Wingstop Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Participant Name (the “Grantee”):	[_________]
Date of Grant (the “Grant Date”):	[_________]
Total RSUs granted:	[_________]

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Section 1.Plan. The Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement (including Appendix A attached hereto and incorporated herein), and all capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Award Agreement have the respective meaning of such terms as defined in the Plan. If a determination is made that any term or condition set forth in this Award Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan will control. The Grantee acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for the Grantee’s review by the Company and represents that the Grantee is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof.

Section 2.Grant of RSUs. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock of the Company (a “Share”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan. The RSUs shall be credited to a separate account maintained for the Grantee on the books and records of the Company (the “Account”). All amounts credited to the Account shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Company.

Section 3.Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Grantee has not incurred a Termination as of the applicable vesting date, the RSUs will vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Vesting Date	Number of RSUs
[Vesting Date]	[Number of RSUs]
[Vesting Date]	[Number of RSUs]
[Vesting Date]	[Number of RSUs]

(a)The foregoing vesting schedule notwithstanding, except as provided in Section 3(b) or (c), upon the Grantee’s Termination for any reason at any time before all of the RSUs have vested, the Grantee’s unvested RSUs shall be automatically forfeited upon such Termination and the Company shall not have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Award Agreement.

(b)In the case of the Grantee’s death or Disability, for purposes of determining vesting under this Section 3, the Grantee’s employment will be deemed to have been terminated on the next scheduled anniversary date of the Grant Date for the purposes of vesting, and that period will count towards the applicable vesting schedule. For purposes of this Section 3(b), “Disability” has the same meaning as such term is defined in the Company’s long-term disability insurance policies which now or hereafter cover the permanent disability of the Grantee or, in the absence of such policies, means the inability of the Grantee to work in a customary day-to-day capacity for six (6) consecutive months or for six (6) months within a twelve (12) month period, as determined by the Board.

(c)In the event that (A) a Change in Control occurs and (B) the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason (other than as a result of the Grantee’s death or Disability), in either case, within six (6) months prior to or two (2) years following such Change in Control, the then-unvested portion of the RSUs shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of the Grantee’s Termination of employment or, if later, the date of the Change in Control, as applicable.

Section 4.Dividend Equivalents. If, prior to the date RSUs are settled pursuant to Section 5, the Company declares a cash or stock dividend with respect to shares of Common Stock, then, on the payment date of the dividend, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the Grantee’s Account in an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid to the Grantee if one Share had been issued on the Grant Date for each unvested RSU granted to the Grantee as set forth in this Award Agreement. In connection with the Dividend Equivalents, any cash dividend credited to the Grantee’s Account shall be adjusted with interest at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. The Dividend Equivalents, and interest, if any, credited to the Grantee’s Account shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such Dividend Equivalents and interest, if any, subject to the same vesting, forfeiture, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original RSUs to which they relate. Any Dividend Equivalents payable under the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be treated as separate payments from the underlying RSUs for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or guidance that may be adopted thereunder from time to time (“Section 409A”).

Section 5.Settlement.

(a)Vested RSUs shall be settled in Shares as soon as practicable following the date such RSUs are vested in accordance with Section 3 above (and in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested) by delivering to the Grantee one Share for each vested RSU. Upon receipt by the Grantee of a Share in settlement of a vested RSU, such RSU shall be cancelled.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 5(a), if the Grantee is deemed a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A as determined by the Committee, at a time when the Grantee becomes eligible for settlement of the RSUs upon the Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent such RSUs constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, such settlement will be delayed until the earlier of: (i) the date that is six (6) months following the Grantee’s separation from service and (ii) the Grantee’s death.

Section 6.Delivery. The Company will deliver a properly issued certificate for any Shares received in settlement of RSUs pursuant to Section 5 as soon as practicable after settlement (or otherwise register such Shares in the name of the Grantee), and such delivery (or registration in the name of the Grantee) shall discharge the Company of all of its duties and responsibilities with respect to the RSUs under this Award Agreement.

Section 7.Nontransferable. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Award Agreement or the Plan, until such time as the RSUs are settled in accordance with Section 5, the RSUs or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the RSUs or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective.

Section 8.Release. As a condition to the delivery of the Shares received in settlement of RSUs pursuant to Section 5, the Company, at its option, may require the Grantee to execute a general release on behalf of the Grantee and the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, releasing all claims, actions and causes of action against the Company and each parent, subsidiary and former affiliate of the Company, and their respective current and former directors, officers, administrators, trustees, employees, agents, and other representatives. Such release must be in form and substance satisfactory to the Board.

Section 9.Stockholder Status. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the RSUs until the Grantee receives a distribution of Shares in settlement of vested RSUs in accordance with Section 5, and such Shares have been duly issued and delivered to (or registered in the name of) the Grantee.

Section 10.Securities Registration. As a condition to the delivery of the certificate for any Shares acquired pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs pursuant to Section 5 (or the registration of such Shares in the name of the Grantee), the Grantee shall, if so requested by the Company, hold such Shares for investment and not with a view of resale or distribution to the

public and, if so requested by the Company, shall deliver to the Company a written statement satisfactory to the Company to that effect.

Section 12.Other Agreements. As a condition to the delivery of the Shares received in settlement of RSUs pursuant to Section 5 and subject to applicable law, the Grantee shall enter into such additional confidentiality, covenant not to compete, non-disparagement and non-solicitation, employee retention, and other agreements as the Company deems appropriate, all in a form acceptable to the Board. The Grantee acknowledges that the receipt of the Award and participation in the Plan is voluntary on the Grantee's part and has not been induced by a promise of employment or continued employment.

Section 13.Withholding. The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate), and the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes (including any social security or similar contribution) in respect of the RSUs and to take all such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Committee may permit the Grantee to satisfy any U.S. federal, state or local and any non-U.S. tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means:

(a)tendering a cash payment;

(b)authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of the vesting of the RSUs;

(c)delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock; or

(d)any combination of (a), (b), or (c) or any other means determined by the Committee and permitted under applicable law.

In the event that any RSUs vest during a closed trading window under the Company’s Insider Trading Compliance Policy, the Company shall satisfy any federal, state, or local tax withholding obligation in connection therewith by the method specified in Section 13(b).

Further, if the method specified in Section 13(b) is used to satisfy any withholding obligation, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligation resulting from the Grantee's participation in the Plan.

Notwithstanding any action the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee's participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares, and (b) does not commit to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

Section 14.No Challenge. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee will not (a) file any claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding challenging the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Award Agreement, or (b) raise, as a defense, the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Award Agreement, in any claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding. Should the Grantee violate any aspect of this Section 14, the Grantee agrees (i) that, in the case of a breach of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, such claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding shall be summarily withdrawn and/or dismissed; (ii) that the Grantee will pay all costs and damages incurred by the Company in responding to or as a result of such claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), or such defense, as the case may be; (iii) that the Grantee will immediately forfeit all unvested RSUs; and (iv) that the Grantee will immediately sell to the Company all Shares received upon settlement of vested RSUs at a price equal to the aggregate purchase price, if any, paid by the Grantee for such Shares, or the current fair market value of such Shares (as determined in the sole discretion of the Company), whichever is less.

PERFORMANCE–BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”) evidences the grant by Wingstop Inc. (the “Company”), in accordance with the Wingstop Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), of the target number of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) set forth below (the “Target PSUs”), with a maximum number of PSUs set forth below (the “Maximum PSUs”), subject to the restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan (the “Award”), to the grantee named below (the “Grantee”), effective as of the date set forth below (the “Grant Date”).

Participant Name (the “Grantee”):	[_________]
Date of Grant (the “Grant Date”):	[_________]
Target PSUs granted:	[_________]
Maximum PSUs:	[_________]

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Section 2.Grant of PSUs. Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock of the Company (a “Share”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan. The number of PSUs actually payable under this Award Agreement depends on the extent to which the Company attains the performance conditions described in Exhibit A of this Award Agreement, and whether the Grantee satisfies the service vesting condition described in Exhibit A of this Award Agreement. The PSUs shall be credited to a separate account maintained for the Grantee on the books and records of the Company (the “Account”). All amounts credited to the Account shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Company.

Section 3.Performance Conditions and Service Vesting Conditions. The number of PSUs that are earned by the Grantee will be determined based on the achievement of the performance condition(s) and the satisfaction of the service vesting conditions, each as set forth

on Exhibit A hereto, for the three (3) year performance period beginning on the first day of the Company’s fiscal [_____] year and ending on the last day of the Company’s fiscal [_____] year (the “Performance Period”).

Section 4.Dividend Equivalents. If, prior to the date PSUs are settled pursuant to Section 5, the Company declares a cash or stock dividend with respect to shares of Common Stock, then, on the payment date of the dividend, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the Grantee’s Account in an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid to the Grantee if one Share had been issued on the Grant Date for each PSU granted to the Grantee as set forth in this Award Agreement. In connection with the Dividend Equivalents, any cash dividend credited to the Grantee’s Account shall be adjusted with interest at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. To the extent a PSU to which such Dividend Equivalent relates becomes a Vested PSU (as defined in Exhibit A and as adjusted for performance), the Dividend Equivalents and interest, if any, credited to the Grantee’s Account shall be distributed in cash (or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such Dividend Equivalents and interest, if any) on the same date that such Vested PSUs are settled pursuant to Section 5, and subject to the same vesting, forfeiture, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original PSUs to which they relate. Any Dividend Equivalents payable under the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be treated as separate payments from the underlying PSUs for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or guidance that may be adopted thereunder from time to time (“Section 409A”).

Section 5.Settlement.

(a) Payment of the Grantee’s Vested PSUs, the number of which are determined pursuant to Exhibit A, shall be settled in Shares as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date (as defined in Exhibit A) on which such PSUs become vested in accordance with Exhibit A (and in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Vesting Date occurs) by delivering to the Grantee one Share for each Vested PSU. Upon receipt by the Grantee of a Share in settlement of a Vested PSU, such PSU shall be cancelled.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5(a), if the Grantee is deemed a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Committee, at a time when the Grantee becomes eligible for settlement of the Vested PSUs upon the Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent such Vested PSUs constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, such settlement will be delayed until the earlier of: (i) the date that is six (6) months following the Grantee’s separation from service and (ii) the Grantee’s death.

Section 6.Delivery. The Company will deliver a properly issued certificate for any Shares received in settlement of PSUs pursuant to Section 5 as soon as practicable after settlement (or otherwise register such Shares in the name of the Grantee), and such delivery (or

registration in the name of the Grantee) shall discharge the Company of all of its duties and responsibilities with respect to the PSUs under this Award Agreement.

Section 7.Nontransferable. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Award Agreement or the Plan, until such time as the PSUs are settled in accordance with Section 5, the PSUs or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the PSUs or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective.

Section 8.Release. As a condition to the delivery of the Shares received in settlement of PSUs pursuant to Section 5, the Company, at its option, may require the Grantee to execute a general release on behalf of the Grantee and the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, releasing all claims, actions and causes of action against the Company and each parent, subsidiary and former affiliate of the Company, and their respective current and former directors, officers, administrators, trustees, employees, agents, and other representatives. Such release must be in form and substance satisfactory to the Board.

Section 9.Stockholder Status. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the PSUs until the Grantee receives a distribution of Shares in settlement of Vested PSUs in accordance with Section 5, and such Shares have been duly issued and delivered to (or registered in the name of) the Grantee.

Section 10.Securities Registration. As a condition to the delivery of the certificate for any Shares acquired pursuant to the settlement of the PSUs pursuant to Section 5 (or the registration of such Shares in the name of the Grantee), the Grantee shall, if so requested by the Company, hold such Shares for investment and not with a view of resale or distribution to the public and, if so requested by the Company, shall deliver to the Company a written statement satisfactory to the Company to that effect.

Section 12.Other Agreements. As a condition to the delivery of the Shares received in settlement of PSUs pursuant to Section 5 and subject to applicable law, the Grantee shall enter into such additional confidentiality, covenant not to compete, non-disparagement and non-solicitation, employee retention, and other agreements as the Company deems appropriate, all in a form acceptable to the Board. The Grantee acknowledges that the receipt of the Award and

Section 13.Withholding. The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate), and the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes (including any social security or similar contribution) in respect of the PSUs and to take all such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Committee may permit the Grantee to satisfy any U.S. federal, state or local and any non-U.S. tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means:

(a) tendering a cash payment;

(b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of the vesting of the PSUs;

(d) any combination of (a), (b), or (c) or any other means determined by the Committee and permitted under applicable law.

In the event that any PSUs vest during a closed trading window under the Company’s Insider Trading Compliance Policy, the Company shall satisfy any federal, state, or local tax withholding obligation in connection therewith by the method specified in Section 13(b).

Further, if the method specified in Section 13(b) is used to satisfy any withholding obligation, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Vested PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligation resulting from the Grantee's participation in the Plan.

Notwithstanding any action the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee's participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (x) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares, and (y) does not commit to structure the PSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

Section 14. No Challenge. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee will not (a) file any claim,

lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding challenging the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Award Agreement, or (b) raise, as a defense, the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Award Agreement, in any claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding. Should the Grantee violate any aspect of this Section 14, the Grantee agrees (i) that, in the case of a breach of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, such claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding shall be summarily withdrawn and/or dismissed; (ii) that the Grantee will pay all costs and damages incurred by the Company in responding to or as a result of such claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), or such defense, as the case may be; (iii) that the Grantee will immediately forfeit all unvested PSUs; and (iv) that the Grantee will immediately sell to the Company all Shares received upon settlement of Vested PSUs at a price equal to the aggregate purchase price, if any, paid by the Grantee for such Shares, or the current fair market value of such Shares (as determined in the sole discretion of the Company), whichever is less.

Section 16.Binding Effect. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and the Grantee and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

Section 17.Clawback Policy. This Award Agreement and the PSUs granted hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s compensation recovery (or “clawback”) policy, as applicable and in effect from time to time, and such policy is hereby incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference.

Section 18.Section 409A. This Award Agreement and this award of PSUs is intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A (e.g., under the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A) and shall be interpreted by the Committee to effect such intent. This Section 18 does not create any obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Award Agreement or the Plan and does not guarantee that the PSUs or the delivery of Shares upon settlement of the PSUs will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or any other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. The Company will have no liability to the Grantee or any other party if the PSUs, the delivery of Shares upon settlement of the PSUs or any other payment hereunder that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, no settlement of PSUs shall be made as a result of the Grantee’s Termination unless such Termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and that the payments otherwise to be made upon a Termination and the benefits otherwise to be provided

upon a Termination shall only be made or provided at the time of the related “separation from service”.

(b)Restrict in any way the right of the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary to terminate, change or modify the Grantee’s employment or service at any time with or without Cause;

(e)Give the Grantee the right to receive any bonus, whether payable in cash or in Shares, or in any combination thereof, from the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary, nor

be construed as limiting in any way the right of the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not it shall pay the Grantee bonuses, and, if so paid, the amount thereof and the manner of such payment; or

(f)Give the Grantee any right whatsoever with respect to an Award except as specifically provided in the Plan and the Award Agreement.

Section 22.Country-Specific Provisions. This award of PSUs will be subject to any terms and conditions for the Grantee's country set forth in Appendix A. Appendix A constitutes part of this Award Agreement.

Section 8. Nontransferable. Except as expressly authorized in writing by the Board, no rights granted under this Award Agreement or with respect to the Option shall be transferable by the Grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The person or persons, if any, to whom the Option is transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or through a written Board authorization shall be treated after such transfer the same as the Grantee under this Award Agreement. Any attempt to sell, transfer, pledge, assign, or otherwise dispose of the Option contrary to

the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Option shall be null and void and wholly ineffective.

Section 9. Stockholder Status. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to the Option until such Shares have been duly issued and delivered to (or registered in the name of) the Grantee following exercise of the Option in accordance with this Award Agreement and the Plan, and, except as set forth in the Plan (including Section 4.4 thereof), no adjustment shall be made for dividends of any kind or description whatsoever or for distributions of other rights of any kind or description whatsoever respecting such Shares.

Section 10. Securities Registration. As a condition to the delivery of the certificate for any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option (or the registration of such Shares in the name of the Grantee), the Grantee shall, if so requested by the Company, hold such Shares for investment and not with a view of resale or distribution to the public and, if so requested by the Company, shall deliver to the Company a written statement satisfactory to the Company to that effect.

Section 11. Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed. No Shares shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of U.S. state and federal and non-U.S. laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The Grantee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission, any non-U.S. securities regulator or any stock exchange to effect such compliance. If any change in circumstances after the grant of the Option would create a substantial risk for the Company that the issuance or transfer of any Shares under this Award Agreement to the Grantee at the time the Grantee tenders any payment to exercise the Option would violate any applicable law or regulation, the Company at that time shall (a) take such action as the Board deems appropriate and permissible under such law or regulation either (i) to continue to maintain the status of the Option as outstanding until the Grantee can exercise the Option without any substantial risk of such a violation, or (ii) to compensate the Grantee for the cancellation of the Option and thereafter to cancel the Option, and (b) refund any payment made by the Grantee to exercise the Option. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

Section 12. Other Agreements. As a condition to the exercise of the Option and subject to applicable law, the Grantee shall enter into such additional confidentiality, covenant not to compete, non-disparagement and non-solicitation, employee retention, and other agreements as the Company deems appropriate, all in a form acceptable to the Board. The certificate(s) evidencing the Shares (or other indicia of ownership) may include one or more legends that reference or describe the conditions upon exercise referenced in this Section 12. The Grantee acknowledges that receipt of the Option and participation in the Plan is voluntary on the Grantee's part and has not been induced by a promise of employment or continued employment.

Section 13. Withholding. The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate), and the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes (including any social security or similar contribution) in respect of the Option and to take all such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may permit the Grantee to satisfy any

U.S. federal, state or local and any non-U.S. tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means:

(b)authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of exercising the Option;

(c)delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock; or

(d)any combination of (a), (b), or (c) or any other means determined by the Company and permitted under applicable law.

If the method specified in Section 13(b) is used to satisfy any withholding obligation, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised portion of the Option, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligation resulting from participation in the Plan.

Notwithstanding any action the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee's participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (i) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares, and (ii) does not commit to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

Section 14. No Challenge. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee will not (a) file any claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding challenging the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Award Agreement, or (b) raise, as a defense, the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Award Agreement, in any claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding. Should the Grantee violate any aspect of this Section 14, the Grantee agrees (i) that, in the case of a breach of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, such claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding shall be summarily withdrawn and/or dismissed; (ii) that the Grantee will pay all costs and damages incurred by the Company and its Affiliates in responding to or as a result of such claim, lawsuit, demand for arbitration, or other proceeding (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), or such defense, as the case may be; (iii) that the Grantee will immediately forfeit all unexercised Options, whether vested or unvested; and (iv) that the Grantee will immediately sell to the Company all Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option at a price equal to the aggregate Option Price paid for such Shares, or the current fair market value of such Shares (as determined in the sole discretion of the Company), whichever is less.

Section 17. Clawback Policy. This Award Agreement, the Option and the Shares that may be acquired thereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s compensation recovery (or “clawback”) policy, as applicable and in effect from time to time, and such policy is hereby incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference.

The Grantee shall, by participating in the Plan, waive any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of Termination of the Grantee for any reason whatsoever, whether lawfully or otherwise, insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee ceasing to have rights under the Plan as a result of such Termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements, including by reason of the operation of the terms of the Plan or the provisions of any statute or law relating to taxation. No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the termination of the Plan or diminution in value of any Award or Shares purchased or otherwise received under the Plan.

Section 20. No Rights or Claims Created by Plan. Without limiting the generality of Section 21.8 of the Plan, neither the existence of the Plan nor anything contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall be deemed to:

(a)give the Grantee the right to be retained in the service of the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary, whether in any particular position, at any particular rate of compensation, for any particular period of time or otherwise;

(b)restrict in any way the right of the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary to terminate, change or modify the Grantee’s employment or service at any time with or without Cause;

(c)confer on the Grantee any right of continued relationship with the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary, or alter any relationship between them, including any right of the Company or an Affiliate or Subsidiary to terminate, change or modify its relationship with the Grantee;

(d)constitute a contract of employment or service between the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary and the Grantee, nor shall it constitute a right to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary;

(e)give the Grantee the right to receive any bonus, whether payable in cash or in Shares, or in any combination thereof, from the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary, nor be construed as limiting in any way the right of the Company, an Affiliate and/or a Subsidiary to determine, in its sole

discretion, whether or not it shall pay the Grantee bonuses, and, if so paid, the amount thereof and the manner of such payment; or

(f)give the Grantee any right whatsoever with respect to an Award except as specifically provided in the Plan and the Award Agreement.

Section 21. Severability. In the event any provision of this Award Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Award Agreement, and this Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

By the Grantee’s acceptance of this Award Agreement, either electronically through the electronic acceptance procedure established by the Company or through a written acceptance delivered to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company, the Grantee agrees that this Option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.

If a determination is made that any term or condition set forth in this Award Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan will control.

Vesting Date	Shares of Restricted Stock
[__________]	[____________]

(a)The foregoing vesting schedule notwithstanding, upon the Grantee’s Termination for any reason at any time before all of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock has vested, the Grantee’s unvested Restricted Stock shall be automatically forfeited upon such Termination and the Company shall not have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Award Agreement.

(b)Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of a Change in Control, if there is a Change in Control, then to the extent not otherwise vested pursuant to Section 3, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited as of the date of the Change in Control.

Section 4.Restrictions. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Award Agreement or the Plan, during the Period of Restriction, the Restricted Stock or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Restricted Stock or the rights relating thereto during the Period of Restriction shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Restricted Stock will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such shares shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company.

Section 5.Rights as Shareholder; Dividends. The Grantee shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock until the shares of Common Stock are sold or otherwise disposed of, and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and receive any and all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to those shares of Restricted Stock which the Grantee is the record owner on the record date for such dividend or other distribution; provided, however, that any property or cash (including, without limitation, any regular cash dividends) distributed with respect to a share of Restricted Stock (the “associated share”) acquired hereunder, including without limitation a distribution of shares of common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, or a distribution of other securities with respect to an associated share, shall be subject to the restrictions of this Award Agreement in the same manner and for so long as the associated share remains subject to such restrictions, and shall be promptly forfeited if and when the associated share is so forfeited; and further provided, that the Administrator may require that any cash distribution with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan. Any cash amounts that would otherwise have been paid with respect to an associated share shall be accumulated and paid to the Grantee, without interest, only upon, or within thirty (30) days following, the date on which such associated share vests in accordance with this Award Agreement (such date, the “Vesting Date”) and any other property distributable with respect to an associated share shall vest on the Vesting Date.

Section 7.Release. As a condition to the lapse of vesting restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan or removal of any legend restricting the transferability of the shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Award Agreement, the Company, at its option, may require the Grantee to execute a general release on behalf of the Grantee and the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, releasing all claims, actions and causes of action against the Company and each parent, subsidiary and former affiliate of the Company, and their respective current and former directors, officers, administrators, trustees, employees, agents, and other representatives.

(c)delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock; or

(d)any combination of (a), (b), or (c) or any other means determined by the Committee and permitted under applicable law.

Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the shares of Restricted Stock or the subsequent sale of any shares, and (b) does not commit to structure the shares of Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

The Grantee is hereby advised to seek the Grantee’s own tax advisors regarding the taxation of the grant of Restricted Stock made hereunder and the advisability of making a Section 83(b) Election. If the Grantee elects to make a Section 83(b) Election, the Grantee shall provide the Company with a copy of an executed version and satisfactory evidence of the filing of the executed Section 83(b) Election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Grantee has had the opportunity to review with the Grantee’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Award Agreement, (b) the Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements by the Company or any of its agents or representatives, (c) the Grantee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for your personal tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Award Agreement and (d) nothing in this Award Agreement constitutes tax advice.

Section 12.Other Agreements. The Grantee shall (as a condition of the lapse of vesting restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan or removal of any legend restricting the transferability of the shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Award Agreement) enter into such additional confidentiality, covenant not to compete, non-disparagement and non-solicitation, employee retention, and other agreements as the Company deems appropriate, all in a form acceptable to the Board.
