1.1 History. The Plan was originally adopted by the Ameritrade Holding Corporation ("Old Ameritrade") effective as of October 1, 1996 (the "Original Effective Date"). Pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, Old Ameritrade became a subsidiary of the Company, a newly formed corporation, effective as of September 9, 2002, and thereafter the Company assumed the Plan, and all outstanding obligations under the Plan. The Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan on September 7, 2005, and Company stockholders approved such amendment and restatement on January 4, 2006. The Board subsequently approved this amendment and restatement of the Plan on January 19, 2006 (the "2006 Restatement Date"), and Company stockholders approved this amendment and restatement of the Plan on March 9, 2006. The Board approved an additional amendment and restatement of the Plan, subject to Company stockholder approval, on November 9, 2009, and stockholders approved the Plan on February 25, 2010. The HR & Compensation Committee approved additional amendments on February 24, 2010. The stockholders again approved the Plan on February 16, 2011. The HR & Compensation Committee and the Board approved this amendment and restatement of the Plan on November 19, 2015 and November 20, 2015, respectively, and stockholders approved the Plan on February 18, 2016.

1.2 Purpose. The purposes of this Plan are to attract, retain and reward Service Providers and to promote the success of the Company's business. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units.

1.3 Term. The Plan shall continue in effect until the earlier of its termination by the Board or the date on which all of the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the Plan and the agreements evidencing Awards granted under the Plan have lapsed. However, all Incentive Stock Options shall be granted, if at all, no later than November 18, 2025.

(a) No Employee or Consultant shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company (1) Options or SARs to purchase more than 4,000,000 Shares, (2) Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units covering more than 2,000,000 Shares, (3) Performance Shares covering more than 2,000,000 Shares, and (4) Performance Units which could result in such Service Provider receiving more than $15,000,000. No Director who is not also an Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Awards having a grant date fair value of more than $1,000,000. For this purpose, Awards will be valued using the same method as the Company uses in preparing its publicly-filed financial statements.

(b) In connection with an individual's initial employment with the Company, an Employee may be granted (in addition to the Awards described in 5.4(a)) (1) Options or SARs to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 Shares, and (2) Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units covering up to an additional 1,000,000 Shares.

be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (a) and (b) above.

(d) The determination made under this Section 5.4 shall be based on the shares subject to the Awards at the time of grant, regardless of when the Awards become exercisable and/or are settled.

6. Options.

6.1 Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time of the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a Related Entity, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

6.2 Restrictions Relating to Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options, to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code.

6.3 Option Price. The Option Price shall be established by the Administrator or shall be determined by a method established by the Administrator at the time the Option is granted; provided, however, that in no event shall such price be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of the date on which the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns Stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a

Related Entity, the Option Price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

6.4 Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. The Administrator, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option (including stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a tandem Stock Appreciation Right) as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to disposition of the shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, Stock ownership by the Participant, and such other factors as the Administrator determines to be appropriate.

6.5 Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws may consist entirely of: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) other shares of Stock which meet the conditions established by the Administrator to avoid any adverse financial accounting consequences (as determined solely by the Administrator); (d) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (e) consideration received by the Company under a net exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, (f) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or (g) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of shares of Stock to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

6.6 Exercise of Option.

(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (x) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (y) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with any applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the shares of Stock underlying such Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement.

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. In addition, the exercise of an Option will result in the surrender of the corresponding rights under a tandem Stock Appreciation Right, if any.

(b) Termination of Service Provider Relationship. If a Participant ceases to be an Service Provider, other than upon the Participant's death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time

as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, and except to the extent terminated earlier pursuant to the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant's termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(c) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant's Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant's termination as a result of Disability. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(d) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant's death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may

the option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant's designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant's death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant's estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant's death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

6.7 Reload Provision. In the event the Participant exercises an Option that was granted on or prior to the 2006 Restatement Date and pays all or a portion of the Option Price in Stock, such Participant (either pursuant to the terms of the Option Award, or pursuant to the exercise of Administrator discretion at the time the Option is exercised) may be issued a new Option to purchase additional shares of Stock equal to the number of shares of Stock surrendered to the Company in such payment. Such new Option shall have an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value per share on the date such new Option is granted, shall first be exercisable six months from the date of grant of the new Option and shall expire on the same date as the expiration date of the original Option so exercised by payment of the Option Price in shares of Stock. Options granted after the 2006 Restatement Date will not be subject to this reload provision in this Section 6.7.

7. Stock Appreciation Rights.

7.1 Types of SARs Authorized. SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any portion of a related Option or may be granted independently of any Option.

7.2 Exercise Price and Other Terms. The Administrator, subject to the provisions of the plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of each SAR granted under the Plan; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share subject to a tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share under the related Option and (b) the exercise price per share subject to an independently granted SAR shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the SAR.

7.3 Exercise. If a SAR is not in tandem with an Option, then the SAR shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Administrator at the time of grant and set forth in the Award Agreement. If a SAR is granted in tandem with an Option, then the SAR shall be exercisable at the time the tandem Option is exercisable. The exercise of a tandem SAR will result in the surrender of the corresponding rights under the related Option.

7.4 Settlement of Award. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: (a) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times (b) the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in shares of Stock of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

7.5 Terms and Expiration of SARs. The Administrator, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a SAR as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to disposition of the shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, ownership of Stock by the Participant, and such other

factors as the Administrator determines to be appropriate. Each SAR grant under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of Section 6.6 also will apply to SARs.

8. Restricted Stock.

8.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

8.2 Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Restricted Stock will be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

8.3 Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate, including granting such an Award of Restricted Stock subject to Performance Goals or to the requirements of Section 12.

8.4 Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.

8.5 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with

respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise and as set forth in the Award Agreement.

8.6 Dividend Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock may be entitled to Dividend Rights with respect to such Shares to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. If any such Dividend Rights are paid in shares of Stock, the shares of Stock will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. Dividend Rights shall be settled in cash or in shares of Stock, as determined by the Administrator, shall be payable at the time and in the form determined by the Administrator, and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

8.7 Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

9. Restricted Stock Units.

9.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

9.2 Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares to be issued in settlement of the Award, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

9.3 Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Restricted Stock Units as it may deem advisable or appropriate, including granting such an Award of

Restricted Stock Units subject to Performance Goals or to the requirements of Section 12.

9.4 Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. At the time of grant of any Restricted Stock Unit, the Administrator will specify the settlement date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units which will be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the Participant. On the settlement date, the Company will transfer to the Participant either (a) one share of Stock or (ii) cash equal to the value of one such share of Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and which was not previously forfeited.

9.5 Voting Rights. Service Providers holding Restricted Stock Units will not have any right to exercise voting rights with respect to the shares of Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Unit.

9.6 Dividend Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock Units may be entitled to Dividend Rights with respect to such Shares to the extent and in the manner provided in the Award Agreement. Dividend Rights shall be settled in cash or in shares of Stock, as determined by the Administrator, shall be payable at the time and in the form determined by the Administrator, and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

9.7 Return of Restricted Stock Units to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units for which restrictions have not lapsed, and for which shares of Stock have not been issued in settlement of the Award, will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

10. Performance Units and Performance Shares.

10.1 Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by

the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.

10.2 Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

10.3 Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Participant) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Participants. The time period during which the performance objectives must be met will be called the "Performance Period." Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set Performance Goals based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals, applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

10.4 Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives for such Performance Unit/Share.

10.5 Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period at the time determined by the Administrator. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof.

10.6 Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.

11. Replacement Awards. Each holder of an Award related to the common stock of Old Ameritrade which was granted pursuant to the Plan prior to the Assumption Date and which was outstanding as of the Assumption Date after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Existing Awards"), will, as of the Assumption Date, be automatically granted a "Replacement Award" under the Plan and the Existing Awards shall be cancelled in exchange for the Replacement Awards. The number of shares of Stock and, if applicable, the Option Price per share of Stock, subject to a Replacement Award shall be equal to the same number of shares of common stock of Old Ameritrade and, if applicable, the same Option Price per share, subject to corresponding Existing Award. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Replacement Awards granted pursuant to this Section 11 shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Existing Awards.

12. Terms and Conditions of Any Performance-Based Award.

12.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Section 12 is to provide the Administrator the ability (but not the

obligation) to grant Awards (other than Options and SARs) that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Administrator, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award subject to Performance Goals to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Section 12 will control over any contrary provision in the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator may in its discretion grant Awards to such Covered Employees that are based on Performance Goals or other specific criteria or goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 12.

12.2 Applicability. This Section 12 will apply to those Covered Employees which are selected by the Administrator to receive any Award subject to Performance Goals. The designation of a Covered Employee as being subject to Section 162(m) of the Code will not in any manner entitle the Covered Employee to receive an Award under the Plan. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee subject to Section 162(m) of the Code for a particular Performance Period will not require designation of such Covered Employee in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee will not require designation of any other Covered Employee in such period or in any other period.

12.3 Procedures with Respect to Performance Based Awards. To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation of Section 162(m) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted subject to Performance Goals, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any Performance Period (or such other deadline as may be required or permitted for awards intended to qualify under Section 162(m)), the Administrator will, in writing, (a) designate one or more Participants who are Covered Employees, (b) determine the applicable Performance Period, (c) select the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Period, (d) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (e) specify the relationship

between Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Administrator will certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amounts earned by a Covered Employee, the Administrator will have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period. Unless specifically provided otherwise by the Administrator when establishing any Performance Goal, and only to the extent applicable to each particular Performance Goal, such Performance Goals shall be automatically adjusted to (a) the reflect the impact of any change in accounting standards that may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board after the adoption of the Performance Goal and (b) reflect the impact of any restatement of the Company's financial statements as result of such a change in the accounting standards.

12.4 Payment of Performance Based Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Covered Employee must be employed by the Company or a Related Entity on the day a Performance-Based Award for such Performance Period is paid to the Covered Employee. Furthermore, a Covered Employee will be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.

12.5 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee and is intended to constitute qualified performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m)) or any regulations and ruling issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as

qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

13. Change in Control.

13.1 Options and SARs. In the event of a Change in Control, an outstanding Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date may be (i) assumed or substituted with an equivalent option or SAR of the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation, (ii) replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation, or (iii) terminated. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation does not assume, substitute or replace a Participant's Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date, the Participant shall, immediately prior to the Change in Control, fully vest in and have the right to exercise such Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date and which is not assumed, substituted or replaced as to all of the Stock underlying the Award, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date is not assumed, substituted or replaced in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date shall be exercisable, to the extent vested, for a period of up to fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the option or stock appreciation right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Stock subject to such Option or SAR immediately prior to the

Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date, for each Share of Stock subject to the Option or SAR that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such Performance Goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to such Performance Goals only to reflect the successor corporation's post-merger or post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

13.2 Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units. In the event of a Change in Control, an outstanding Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date may be (i) assumed or substituted with an equivalent restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share or performance unit award of the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation, (ii) replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation, or (iii) terminated.

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume, substitute or replace a Participant's Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date, the Participant shall, immediately prior to the Change in Control, fully vest in such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date including as to Shares which would not otherwise be vested. For the purposes of this paragraph, a Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit award that was granted on or after the 2006 Restatement Date shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share and each unit/right to acquire a Share subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such Performance Goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to such Performance Goals only to reflect the successor corporation's post-merger or post-Change in Control corporate structure will

not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

14. Forfeiture Events. The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant's rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, fraud, breach of a fiduciary duty, restatement of financial statements as a result of fraud or willful errors or omissions, termination of employment for cause, violation of material Company and/or Subsidiary policies, breach of non-competition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, an Award shall be subject to the Company's clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time (the "Clawback Policy"). The Board or the Administrator, as applicable, may require a Participant to forfeit, return or reimburse to the Company all or a portion of the Award and any amounts paid thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Clawback Policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

15. Miscellaneous.

15.1 Limit on Distribution. Distribution of shares of Stock or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to deliver any shares of Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(b) In the case of a Participant who is subject to Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Administrator may, at any time, add such conditions and limitations to any Award to such Participant, or any feature of any such Award, as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to comply with Section 16(a) or 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or to obtain any exemption therefrom. To the extent that any provision of the Plan, Award Agreement or action by the Administrator fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable or appropriate by the Administrator.

(c) To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of shares of Stock, the transfer of such shares may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

15.2 Tax.

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof) or such earlier time as any Tax Obligations are due, the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all Tax Obligations.

(b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such Tax Obligations, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or such other amount as will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, or (c) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or such other amount as will not result in any

adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

(c) Compliance With Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Each payment or benefit under this Plan and under each Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The Plan, each Award and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to be exempt from or otherwise meet the requirements of Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted, including but not limited with respect to ambiguities and/or ambiguous terms, in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise specifically determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, in no event will a Participant be reimbursed for the taxes imposed or any other costs incurred as a result of Section 409A.

15.3 Transferability. Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by a Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. To the extent that the Participant who receives an Award under the Plan has the right to exercise such Award, the Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.

15.4 Notices. Any notice or document required to be filed with the Administrator under the Plan will be properly filed if delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Administrator, in care of the Company, at its principal executive offices. The Administrator may, by advance written notice to affected persons, revise such notice procedure from time to time. Any notice required under the Plan (other than a notice of election) may be waived by the person entitled to notice.

15.5 Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Administrator at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall require.

15.6 Agreement With Company. At the time of an Award to a Participant under the Plan, the Administrator may require a Participant to enter into an Award Agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Administrator, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, prescribe.

15.7 Limitation of Implied Rights.

(a) Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by the Company that the assets of such companies shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

(b) The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any right as a shareholder of the Company prior to the date on which he fulfills all service requirements and other conditions for receipt of such rights.

15.8 Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

15.9 Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in one gender shall include the other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.

15.10 Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or an Award to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan or the Awards shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan or Award, as applicable, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

15.11 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

16. Amendment and Termination.

16.1 Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

16.2 Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. Other than pursuant to Section 13, the Company also will obtain stockholder approval before implementing a program to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options and/or SARs through a repricing or Award exchange.

16.3 Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Company, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
