EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
1. PURPOSE
OF THE PLAN; DEFINITIONS
The
name of the plan is the Triller Group Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and enable the Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of Triller Group Inc. (the
“Company”)
and its Affiliates upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its business
to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company’s
welfare will assure a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their
efforts on the Company’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company.
The
following terms shall be defined as set forth below unless the context otherwise requires:
“Act”
means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
“Administrator”
means either the Board or the compensation committee of the Board or a similar committee performing the functions of the compensation
committee and which, if necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or relevant securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation service, is comprised
solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors who are “independent” for purposes of any applicable listing requirements.
“Affiliate”
means, at the time of determination, any “parent” or “subsidiary” of the Company as such terms are defined in Rule 405 of the Act.
The Board will have the authority to determine the time or times at which “parent” or “subsidiary” status is determined within the
foregoing definition.

Award, or Dividend Equivalent Right.
“Award
Agreement”
means a written agreement, contract, certificate or other instrument or document evidencing the terms and conditions of an individual
Award granted under the Plan, which may, in the discretion of the Company, be transmitted electronically to any Grantee under the Plan.
Each Award Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
“Board”
means the Board of Directors of the Company.
“Cause”
means, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise:
(a) With
respect to any Employee or Consultant, (i) if the Grantee is a party to an employment
or service agreement with the Company or an Affiliate that provides a definition of Cause
(or a similar term), the definition contained therein, or (ii) for a Grantee who is not a
party to such an agreement, “Cause”
means the Grantee’s (1) intentional failure to perform reasonably assigned duties, (2) dishonesty
or willful misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties, (3) involvement in a transaction
that is materially adverse to the Company or an Affiliate, (4) breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, (5) willful violation of any law, rule, regulation or court order (other
than misdemeanor traffic violations and misdemeanors not involving misuse or misappropriation
of money or property), (6) commission of an act of fraud or intentional misappropriation
or conversion of any asset or opportunity of the Company or an Affiliate, or (7) material
breach of any provision of the Plan or the Grantee’s Award Agreement or any other written
agreement between the Grantee and the Company or an Affiliate, in each case as determined
in good faith by the Board, the determination of which shall be final, conclusive and binding
on all parties.
1
(b) With
respect to any Non-Employee Director, a determination by a majority of the disinterested
Board members that the Grantee has engaged in (i) malfeasance in office, (ii) gross misconduct
or neglect, (iii) false or fraudulent misrepresentation inducing the Non-Employee
Director’s appointment, (iv) willful conversion of corporate funds, or (v) repeated
failure to participate in Board meetings on a regular basis despite having received proper
notice of meetings in advance.
The
Administrator, in its absolute discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to whether a Grantee’s
Service Relationship has been terminated for Cause.
“Change

means, except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment or consulting agreement with the Company or an Affiliate
that has been approved by the Administrator, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events or conditions:

becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting
power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;
(b) The
closing of a merger, consolidation or other business combination (a “Business

Combination as immediately before;
(c) The
closing of an agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s

of the surviving corporation immediately after such liquidation as immediately before; or
(e) Within
any 24-month period, the Incumbent Directors cease to constitute at least a majority of the
Board or the board of directors of any successor to the Company; provided, however,
that any director elected to the Board, or nominated for election, by a majority of the Incumbent
Directors then still in office, shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director for purposes
of this paragraph 1(e), but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial
assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest
with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation
of proxies or consents by or on behalf of an individual, entity or “group” other than the
Board (including, but not limited to, any such assumption that results from any other paragraph
of this definition).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, solely for the purpose of determining the timing of any payments pursuant to any Award constituting “deferred compensation”
that is subject to Code Section 409A, a Change in Control shall be limited to a “change in the ownership of the Company,” a “change
in the effective control of the Company,” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company” as such
terms are defined in Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

means any individual, including an officer or director, employed by the Company or an Affiliate; provided that
for purposes of determining eligibility to receive Incentive Stock Options, an Employee means an employee of the Company or a parent

by the Company or an Affiliate is not sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company or an Affiliate.
“Exchange
Act”
means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
“Fair
Market Value”
means, as of any given date, the fair market value of a share of Stock as determined as follows: if the Stock is listed on the Nasdaq

date) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination, as reported in the Wall

other reliable source. In the absence of an established market for the Stock, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith
by the Administrator and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

Consultant). If a Grantee’s Service Relationship is with an Affiliate that ceases to be an Affiliate, the Grantee’s Service Relationship
shall be deemed terminated for purposes of
the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, a Service Relationship shall not be deemed terminated merely as a result of (i) a transfer of employment
to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another; or (ii) an approved leave of
absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee’s right to re-employment
is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator
otherwise so provides in writing.

price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right
shall have been exercised.

and in addition to other express powers and authorization conferred by the Plan, the Administrator
shall have the sole power and authority, in its discretion, to make all determinations under
the Plan, including the power and authority:
(i) from
time to time to select, subject to the limitations in the Plan, the eligible individuals
to whom Awards may be granted;
(ii) to
determine when Awards are to be granted under the Plan and the applicable Grant Date;
(iii) to
determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to any Award;
(iv) to
determine whether each Option is to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock
Option;
(v) to
prescribe the terms and conditions of each Award, including, without limitation, the exercise
price and medium of payment and vesting provisions, and to specify the provisions of the
Award Agreement relating to such grant;
(vi) to
construe and interpret the Plan and apply its provisions;
(vii) to
amend any outstanding Award, including for the purpose of modifying the time or manner of
vesting, or the term of any outstanding Award; provided,
however,
that if any such amendment impairs a Grantee’s rights or increases a Grantee’s obligations
under his or her Award or creates or increases a Grantee’s federal income tax liability with
respect to an Award, such amendment shall also be subject to the Grantee’s consent;
4
(viii) to
determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absences that may be granted to a Grantee
without constituting termination of their Service Relationship for purposes of the Plan,
which periods shall be no shorter than the periods generally applicable to Employees under
the Company’s employment policies;
(ix) to
adopt, amend and rescind rules, regulations and guidelines relating to the administration
of the Plan;
(x) to
make decisions with respect to outstanding Awards that may become necessary upon a Change
in Control or an event that triggers anti-dilution adjustments;
(xi) to
interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in or supply any
omission in the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award granted under,
the Plan;
(xii) to
decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and
(xiii) to
exercise discretion to make any and all other determinations which it determines to be necessary
or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
(c) Administrator
Decisions Final.
All decisions made by the Administrator pursuant to the Plan shall be final and binding on
the Company and the Grantees, unless such decisions are determined by a court having jurisdiction
to be arbitrary and capricious.
(d) Administrator
Action.
Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, action by the Administrator shall require
the consent of a majority of the members of the Administrator, expressed either orally at
a meeting of the Administrator or in writing in the absence of a meeting. No member of the
Administrator shall have any liability for any good faith action, inaction or determination
in connection with the Plan.
(e) Delegation
of Authority to Grant Awards.
Subject to applicable law, the Administrator, in its discretion, may delegate to a committee
consisting of one or more officers of the Company (such committee, the “Officer
Committee”),
all or part of the Administrator’s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards
(the “Delegated
Awards”)
to individuals who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of
the Exchange Act and not members of the Officer Committee. Any such delegation by the Administrator
shall include a limitation as to the amount of Stock underlying Awards that may be granted
during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination
of the exercise price and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the
terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions
of the Administrator’s delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan.
Additionally, in order to evidence the Officer Committee’s approval of Delegated Award grants
pursuant to any delegation of authority, the Company shall compile a record documenting the
Officer Committee’s approval of Delegated Award grants. Such record will list the name of
each Grantee, the type and amount of Delegated Awards approved for grant, the grant date,
the vesting schedule for the Delegated Awards and any other non-standard material terms.
(f) Award
Agreement.
Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions
and limitations for each Award which may include, without limitation, the term of an Award
and the provisions applicable in the event employment or service terminates.
(g) Indemnification.
Neither the Board nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof,
shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made
in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Administrator
(and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement
by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted
by law and/or under the Company’s articles or bylaws or any directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification
agreement between such individual and the Company.
5
(h) Foreign
Award Recipients.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws
in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees or
other individuals eligible for Awards, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have
the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan;
(ii) determine which individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in
the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to individuals outside
the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish sub-plans and modify
exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Administrator determines
such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such sub-plans and/or modifications shall
be attached to this Plan as appendices); provided, however,
that no such sub-plans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained
in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made,
that the Administrator determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply
with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that
would violate the Exchange Act or any other applicable United States securities law, the
Code, or any other applicable United States governing statute or law.
3. STOCK
ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION
(a) Authorized
Shares.
Subject to any adjustments as necessary pursuant to Section 3(b), the aggregate number of
shares of Stock reserved and available for grant and issuance under the Plan is 30,400,000.
If (i) any Option or other Award granted hereunder is exercised through the tendering of
Stock (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Stock by the Company,
or (ii) tax or deduction liabilities arising from such Option or other Award are satisfied
by the tendering of Stock (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Stock
by the Company, then in each such case the shares of Stock so tendered or withheld shall
not be added back to the shares of Stock available for grant under the Plan. Only shares
of Stock underlying Awards under this Plan that are forfeited, canceled, or expire unexercised,
shall be available again for issuance under the Plan. The shares of Stock to be issued pursuant
to the grant or exercise of an Award may consist of authorized but unissued shares, shares
purchased on the open market or shares previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by
the Company. Subject to Section 3(b), the aggregate maximum number of shares of Stock that
may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is 14,089,571 shares.
(b) Changes
in Stock.
Subject to Section 3(c), if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock dividend, cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in
the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or
are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company,
or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other
non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities,
or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for
securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the
Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number
of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that
may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number and kind of shares
or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase
price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (iv) the
exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise
price multiplied by the number of shares subject to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable.
The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of
shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding
Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or
any other extraordinary corporate event. Unless the Administrator specifically determines
that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Administrator
shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section
3(b) will not constitute a modification, extension or
renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code
and in the case of Non-qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, ensure that
any adjustments under this Section 3(b) will not constitute a modification of such Awards
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any adjustments made under this Section 3(b)
shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant
to Rule 16b-3. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.
No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment,
but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.
6
(c) Change
in Control.
In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Change in Control, the parties thereto
may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity,
or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof,
with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the
per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such
Change in Control do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards,
upon the effective time of the Change in Control, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted
hereunder shall terminate. In such case, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at
the time an Award is granted or at any time before, coincident with or following the effective
time of the Change in Control, cause any Award with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions
to become partially or fully vested and exercisable or non-forfeitable as of the effective
time of the Change in Control or any other time or date fixed by the Administrator; and/or
cause any Award with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance
goals to become vested and exercisable or non-forfeitable in connection with the Change in
Control in the Administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant Award
Agreement. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its
sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to any Grantee holding
an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount
equal to the difference between (A) the Sale Price multiplied by the number of shares of
Stock subject to the Option or Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent then exercisable at
prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the exercise price of the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right; provided
that,
in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price equal to or greater
than the Sale Price, such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled for no consideration;
or (ii) each Grantee shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation
of the Change in Control as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such Grantee.
The Company shall also have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a
payment, in cash or in kind, to the Grantees holding other Awards in an amount equal to the
Sale Price multiplied by the number of vested shares of Stock under such Awards.
(d) No
Adjustment for Certain Awards.
Except as hereinabove expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of shares of any class
or securities convertible into shares of any class, for cash, property, labor or services,
upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or upon conversion
of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities,
and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect previously granted Awards,
and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of shares of
Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share of Stock, if
applicable.
(e) Powers
not Affected.
The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the
right or power of the Board or of the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any
adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change of the Company’s capital structure
or business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities
ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets
or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.
7
4. ELIGIBILITY
Awards
may be granted under the Plan to such Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates as are selected
from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided that
Non-Qualified Stock Options may be granted only to Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants who are providing services to the
Company or a Subsidiary, and Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or of a parent corporation or subsidiary
corporation within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code.
5. STOCK
OPTIONS
(a) Award
of Stock Options.
The Administrator may grant Stock Options under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under
the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. A Stock
Option may be either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Incentive
Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or any Affiliate that is a
“parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of
the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it
shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section
5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional
terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Administrator deems desirable.
If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation
at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may
establish.
(b) Exercise
Price.
The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to
this Section 5 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive
Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price of such Incentive
Stock Option shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Stock Options may be granted with an exercise price per share that is less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (i) pursuant to a transaction described
in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code, (ii) to individuals who
are not subject to U.S. income tax on the date of grant or (iii) if the Stock Option is otherwise
compliant with Section 409A.
(c) Option
Term.
The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall
be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case
of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock
Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.
(d) Exercisability;
Rights of a Stockholder.
Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments,
as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The Administrator
may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option.
An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise
of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.
(e) Method
of Exercise.
Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice
of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the
purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods except to the extent otherwise
provided in the Award Agreement:
(i) In
cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;
(ii) Through
the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the Company may
prescribe) of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company
plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;
8
(iii) By
the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable
and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that
in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee
and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity
and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure;
or
(iv) With
respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise” arrangement
pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise
by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate
exercise price.
Payment
instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent
of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee
(or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price
for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws (including
the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an
optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares
of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of attested shares. In the event
that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options,
such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted
through the use of such an automated system.
(f) Annual
Limit on Incentive Stock Options.
To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code,
the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan
of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first
time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that
any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
6. STOCK
APPRECIATION RIGHTS
(a) Award
of Stock Appreciation Rights.
The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation
Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock (or cash, to the
extent explicitly provided for in the applicable Award Agreement) having a value equal to
the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the
exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares of Stock
with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised.
(b) Exercise
Price of Stock Appreciation Rights.
The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.
(c) Grant
and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights.
Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock
Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan.
(d) Terms
and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights.
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined
on the date of grant by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not
exceed ten years. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the
Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and Grantees.
9
7. RESTRICTED
STOCK AWARDS
(a) Nature
of Restricted Stock Awards.
The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award
is any Award of Restricted Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator
may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or
other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.
(b) Rights
as a Stockholder.
Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price,
if any, a Grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the
Restricted Shares and receipt of dividends; provided that
if the lapse of restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Award is tied to the attainment
of performance goals, any dividends paid by the Company during the performance period shall
accrue and shall not be paid to the Grantee until and to the extent the performance goals
are met with respect to the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise
determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Shares shall be accompanied by a notation on the
records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture
until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated
Restricted Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Shares
are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and the Grantee shall be required, as a condition
of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator
may prescribe.
(c) Restrictions.
Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered
or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.
Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Agreement or,
subject to Section 15, in writing after the Award is issued, if a Grantee’s employment (or
other Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason,
any Restricted Shares that have not vested at the time of termination shall automatically
and without any requirement of notice to such Grantee from or other action by or on behalf
of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at their original purchase
price (if any) from such Grantee or such Grantee’s legal representative simultaneously with
such termination of employment (or other Service Relationship), and thereafter shall cease
to represent any ownership of the Company by the Grantee or rights of the Grantee as a stockholder.
Following such deemed reacquisition of Restricted Shares that are represented by physical
certificates, a Grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without
consideration.
(d) Vesting
of Restricted Shares.
The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment
of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability
of the Restricted Shares and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse.
Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance
goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed
shall no longer be Restricted Shares and shall be deemed “vested.”
8. RESTRICTED
STOCK UNITS
(a) Nature
of Restricted Stock Units.
The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit
is an Award of stock units that may be settled in shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent
explicitly provided for in the Award Agreement) upon the satisfaction of such restrictions
and conditions at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or
other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.
The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and
such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and Grantees. Except in the
case of Restricted Stock Units with a deferred settlement date that complies with Section
409A, at the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested,
shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided
for in the Award Agreement). Restricted Stock Units with deferred settlement dates are subject
to Section 409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator
shall determine in its sole discretion in order to comply with the requirements of Section
409A.
10
(b) Election
to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a Grantee to elect to receive a portion
of future cash compensation otherwise due to such Grantee in the form of an award of Restricted
Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company
no later than the date specified by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A
and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any such future cash
compensation that the Grantee elects to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted
Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise
have been paid to the Grantee if such payment had not been deferred as provided herein. The
Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances
to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon
as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any Restricted Stock Units that are elected to be
received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in
the Award Agreement.
(c) Rights
as a Stockholder.
A Grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the
Grantee upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however,
that the Grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the stock
units underlying his or her Restricted Stock Units, subject to the provisions of Section
10 and such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.
9. UNRESTRICTED
STOCK AWARDS
The
Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock
Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the Grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any
restrictions under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or
in lieu of cash compensation due to such Grantee.
10. DIVIDEND
EQUIVALENT RIGHTS
(a) Dividend
Equivalent Rights.
The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent
Right is an Award entitling the Grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would
have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other
Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the Grantee. A Dividend Equivalent
Right may be granted hereunder to any Grantee as a component of an award of Restricted Stock
Units or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights
shall be specified in the Award Agreement. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of
a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional
shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment
shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then
apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent
Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment
or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted
Stock Units shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled only upon
settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend
Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such
other Award.
11. TRANSFERABILITY
OF AWARDS
(a) Transferability.
Except as provided in Section 11(b) below, during a Grantee’s lifetime, his or her Awards
shall be exercisable only by the Grantee, or by the Grantee’s legal representative or guardian
in the event of the Grantee’s incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred
or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a Grantee other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Awards shall be subject,
in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer
in violation hereof shall be null and void.
11
(b) Administrator
Action.
Notwithstanding Section 11(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in
the Award Agreement regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the Grantee
(who is an Employee or director) may transfer his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his
or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to
partnerships in which such family members are the only partners; provided that
the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions
of this Plan and the applicable Award. In no event may an Award be transferred by a Grantee
for value.
(c) Family
Member.
For purposes of Section 11(b), “family member” means a Grantee’s child, stepchild, grandchild,
parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
relationships, any person sharing the Grantee’s household (other than a tenant of the Grantee),
a trust in which these persons (or the Grantee) have more than 50% of the beneficial interest,
a foundation in which these persons (or the Grantee) control the management of assets, and
any other entity in which these persons (or the Grantee) own more than 50% of the voting
interests.
(d) Designation
of Beneficiary.
To the extent permitted by the Company, each Grantee to whom an Award has been made under
the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any
payment under any Award payable on or after the Grantee’s death. Any such designation shall
be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not be effective until
received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased Grantee,
or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the Grantee, the beneficiary shall be
the Grantee’s estate.
12. TAX
WITHHOLDING
(a) Payment
by Grantee.
Each Grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock
or other amount received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the Grantee
for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator
regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall,
to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment
of any kind otherwise due to the Grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver evidence of
book entry (or stock certificates) to any Grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding
obligations being satisfied by the Grantee.
(b) Payment
in Stock.
The Administrator may require the Company’s tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in
whole or in part, by the Company withholding from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to
any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding
is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however,
that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate or such lesser amount
as is necessary to avoid liability accounting treatment. For purposes of share withholding,
the Fair Market Value of withheld shares shall be determined in the same manner as the value
of Stock includible in income of the Grantees. The Administrator may also require the Company’s
tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby
a certain number of shares of Stock issued pursuant to any Award are immediately sold and
proceeds from such sale are remitted to the Company in an amount that would satisfy the withholding
amount due.
13. SECTION
409A
Awards
granted under the Plan are intended to be exempt from Section 409A to the greatest extent possible and to otherwise comply with Section
409A. The Plan and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A
Award”),
the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to
comply with Section 409A. In this regard, (a) a termination of the Service Relationship shall be deemed to occur with respect to a
409 Award only if it is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, and references in the Plan and the applicable
Award Agreement to “termination of the Service Relationship” or similar terms means a “separation
from service”; and (b) if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section
409A) to a Grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be
made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the Grantee’s
death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties or additional
tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any 409A Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted
by Section 409A. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in the Plan will be exempt
from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such
payment. The Grantee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.
12
14. TERMINATION
OF SERVICE RELATIONSHIP
(a) Termination
other than for Cause.
Except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of an applicable Award Agreement or the
provisions of Section 14(b), the following terms and conditions shall apply with respect
to a termination of a Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company or an Affiliate, as
applicable:
(i) The
Grantee’s rights, if any, to exercise any then exercisable Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights shall terminate:
(1) If
such termination is for a reason other than the Grantee’s Total and Permanent Disability
or death, 90 days after the date of such termination of the Service Relationship;
(2) If
such termination is on account of the Grantee’s Total and Permanent Disability, one year
after the date of such termination of the Service Relationship; or
(3) If
such termination is on account of the Grantee’s death, one year after the date of the Grantee’s
death.
Upon
such applicable date the Grantee (and such Grantee’s estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative) shall forfeit any
rights or interests in or with respect to any such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, may provide for a different time period in the Award Agreement, or may extend the period, following a termination
of the Service Relationship, during which the Grantee has the right to exercise any vested Non-qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
Right, which period may not extend beyond the expiration date of the Award term.
(ii) In
the event of a termination of a Grantee’s Service Relationship for any reason prior to the
actual or deemed satisfaction and/or lapse of the vesting requirements, restrictions, terms
and conditions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Dividend
Equivalent Right, such Award shall immediately be canceled, and the Grantee (and such Grantee’s
estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative) shall forfeit any rights or
interests in and with respect to any such Award.
(b) Termination
for Cause.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14 or elsewhere in the Plan to the contrary, and
unless a Grantee’s Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise, in the event of a termination
of a Grantee’s Service Relationship for Cause, all of such Grantee’s then-outstanding Awards
shall expire immediately and be forfeited in their entirety upon such termination of the
Service Relationship.
15. AMENDMENTS
AND TERMINATION
The
Board may, at any time, amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any
outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose; provided that
no such action shall materially and adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the affected Grantee’s consent. Except
as provided in Section 3(b) or 3(c), without prior approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, in no event may the Administrator or the Board reduce the exercise price of
outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, whether by amendment or otherwise, or effect repricing through cancellation
and re-grants or cancellation of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash or other Awards. To the extent required
under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Stock is listed, to the extent determined by the Administrator
to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of
the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by Company stockholders. Nothing in this Section 15 shall limit the Administrator’s
authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c).
13
16. STATUS
OF PLAN
With
respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by
a Grantee, a Grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise
expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts
or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder; provided that
the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.
17. GENERAL
PROVISIONS
(a) No
Distribution.
The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent
to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without
a view to distribution thereof.
(b) Issuance
of Stock.
To the extent certificated, stock certificates to Grantees under this Plan shall be deemed
delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall
have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee, at the
Grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed
delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall
have given to the Grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States
mail, addressed to the Grantee, at the Grantee’s last known address on file with the Company,
notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic
“book entry” records). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver any evidence of book entry or certificates evidencing
shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise or settlement of any Award, unless and until the
Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the Administrator deems
such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery is in compliance with
all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements
of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. Any Stock issued
pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions
as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign
jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and quotation system on which the Stock is
listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate or
notations on any book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition
to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual
make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in
its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations,
or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply
with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award,
including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.
(c) No
Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award,

(d) Stockholder
Rights.
Until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 17(b), no right to vote or receive

to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option
or any other action by the Grantee with respect to an Award.
14
(e) Other
Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights.
Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally
applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant
of Awards do not confer upon any Employee any right to continued employment with the Company
or any Subsidiary.
(f) Trading
Policy Restrictions.
Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider
trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.
(g) Rule
16b-3.
The Company intends that the Plan and any Award made to a person subject to Section 16 of
the Exchange Act satisfy, and ben interpreted in a manner that satisfies, the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3. If the operation of any provision of the Plan or of any
such Award would conflict with this intent or otherwise not comply with the requirements
of Rule 16b-3, such provision or Award shall, to the extent possible, be interpreted and/or
deemed to have been amended so as to avoid such conflict and/or noncompliance.
(h) Clawback
Policy.
A participant’s rights with respect to any Award hereunder shall in all events be subject
to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with
(i) any right that the Company may have under any Company clawback, forfeiture or recoupment
policy as in effect from time to time or other agreement or arrangement with a Grantee, or
(ii) applicable law.
(i) No
Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes.
The Company shall have no duty or obligation to any Grantee to advise such Grantee as to
the time or manner of exercising any Award. Furthermore, the Company shall have no duty or
obligation to warn or otherwise advise such Grantee of a pending termination or expiration
of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised. The Company has
no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to any person.
(j) Notification
of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code.
If any Grantee, in connection with the acquisition of Stock under an Award, makes the election
permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code, if applicable, the Grantee shall notify the Company
of the election within 10 days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue
Service.
(k) Paperless
Administration.
If the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated
system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet
website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise
of Awards by a Grantee may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
(l) Broker-Assisted
Sales.
In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Stock in connection with the payment of amounts
owed by a Grantee under or with respect to the Plan or Awards: (i) any Stock to be sold through
the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon
thereafter as practicable; (ii) the Stock may be sold as part of a block trade with other
Grantees in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (iii) the applicable
Grantee will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting
an Award, each Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses,
costs, damages or expenses relating to any such sale; (iv) to the extent the Company or its
designee receives proceeds of the sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay
the excess in cash to the applicable Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable; (v) the Company
and its designees are under no obligation to arrange for the sale at any particular price;
and (vi) if the proceeds of the sale are insufficient to satisfy the Grantee’s
applicable obligation, the Grantee may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the
Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of
the Grantee’s obligation.
15
(m) Data
Privacy.
As a condition for receiving any Award, each Grantee explicitly and unambiguously consents
to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described
in this Section 17(h) by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates exclusively
for implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The
Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a
Grantee, including the Grantee’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security,
insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Stock
held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; and Award details, to implement,
manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”).
The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves
as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Grantee’s participation in the Plan, and
the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting
the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may
be located in the Grantee’s country, or elsewhere, and the Grantee’s country may have different
data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each
Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data,
in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation
in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom
the Company or the Grantee may elect to deposit any Stock. The Data related to a Grantee
will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Grantee’s
participation in the Plan. A Grantee may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds
regarding the Grantee, request additional information about the storage and processing of
the Data regarding the Grantee, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding
the Grantee or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 17(h) in writing, without
cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Grantee’s
ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Grantee may
forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Grantee refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section
17(h).
(n) Severability
of Provisions.
If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced
as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.
(o) No
Funding.
The Plan shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to establish any special
or separate fund or to make any other segregation of funds or assets to ensure the payment
of any Award. Prior to receipt of shares of Stock or a cash distribution under the terms
of an Award, such Award shall represent an unfunded unsecured contractual obligation of the
Company and the Grantee shall have no greater claim to the shares of Stock underlying such
Award or any other assets of the Company or Affiliate than any other unsecured general creditor.
(p) Headings.
Headings used throughout the Plan are for convenience only and shall not be given legal significance.
