Shares Reserved Under Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided in [Section 9.3], the total number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 2,500,000 shares (all of which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options). Such shares may be authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorized and issued Ordinary Shares held in the Company’s treasury or acquired by the Company for the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may direct that any share certificate evidencing shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on transferability as may apply to such shares pursuant to the Plan. If any Award is forfeited or otherwise terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares are withheld from any Award (other than restricted shares) to satisfy a Grantee’s tax withholding obligations, then the shares covered by such forfeited, terminated or canceled Award or which are equal to the number of shares withheld shall again become available for transfer pursuant to Awards granted or to be granted under this Plan. Any Ordinary Shares delivered by the Company, any Ordinary Shares with respect to which Awards are made by the Company and any Ordinary Shares with respect to which the Company becomes obligated to make Awards, through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired entity, shall not be counted against the shares available for Awards under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the cancellation or forfeiture of Restricted Shares or other Awards with respect to which dividends have been paid or accrued, the number of shares with respect to such Restricted Shares or other Awards shall not be available for subsequent grants hereunder unless, in the case of shares with respect to which dividends were accrued by unpaid, such dividends are also canceled or forfeited. Subject to adjustment as provided in [Section 9.3], no Employee may be granted Options or share appreciation rights in any one fiscal year of the Company with respect to more than 400,000 Ordinary Shares each.

Authorized Shares and Award Limits. The Committee may from time to time grant Awards to one or more Employees, Directors and/or Consultants determined by it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. Subject to Article XVIII, the number of Shares that may be issued under all Awards granted under the Plan shall be 10,000,000 (the “Share Reserve”); provided that, subject to Article XVIII, the Share Reserve (as adjusted as set forth herein) shall automatically be increased, but not decreased, on January 1 of each calendar year (beginning January 1, 2021) so as to be equal to ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31 of the preceding calendar year on an as converted basis (the “As Converted Shares”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may in its discretion, determine that no increase in the Share Reserve shall be made for any year or determine that a lesser number of Shares shall be added to the Share Reserve than would otherwise have been added pursuant to the preceding sentence. For calculation purposes, the As Converted Shares shall include all shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock and all shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding preferred stock, warrants and other convertible securities, but shall not include any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options and other convertible securities issued pursuant to the Plan or the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. Subject to Article XVIII, the maximum number of Shares available for issuance in respect of Incentive Stock Options is 15,000,000, but in no event may Incentive Stock Options be granted in excess of the Share Reserve as the same may be increased in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. To the extent that an Award lapses, expires, is canceled, is terminated unexercised or ceases to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its Holder terminate, any Shares subject to such Award shall again be available for the grant of a new Award. Shares that otherwise would have been issued upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or in payment with respect to any other form of Award, that are surrendered in payment or partial payment of the exercise price thereof and/or taxes withheld with respect to the exercise thereof or the making of such payment, will no longer be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations and may again be made subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to such limitations.

Subject to Section 14 of the Plan, there shall be reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Company Stock; which may include authorized, but unissued, shares. Not more than 250,000 of such shares shall be available as any type of awards other than Incentive Stock Options. Shares allocable to Options granted under the Plan that expire or otherwise terminate and shares that are forfeited pursuant to restrictions on Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan may again be subjected to an Award under this Plan.

Subject to Section 14 of the Plan, there shall be reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Company Stock; which may include authorized, but unissued, shares. Not more than 250,000 of such shares shall be available as any type of awards other than Incentive Stock Options. Shares allocable to Options granted under the Plan that expire or otherwise terminate and shares that are forfeited pursuant to restrictions on Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan may again be subjected to an Award under this Plan.

Shares Issuable. The maximum number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be equal to 9,600,000 Shares. For purposes of this limitation, the Shares underlying any Awards that are forfeited, canceled, repurchased or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Shares tendered or held back upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding shall not be added back to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. In addition, upon net exercise of Options, the gross number of Shares exercised shall be deducted from the total number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Shares purchased in the open market with proceeds from the exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be added to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. In the event that a Stock Appreciation Right is settled in Shares, the gross number of Shares subject to the Stock Appreciation Right shall be deducted from the total number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, Shares may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however, that no more than 9,600,000 Shares may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The Shares issued under the Plan may be issued from treasury or otherwise.

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 2,500,000, including such aggregate number of shares that have been reserved for issuance and are subject to unvested Awards under the Prior Plan (the “Share Pool Limit”). At all times during the term of the Plan, the Company shall allocate and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be required to satisfy the requirements of outstanding Awards under the Plan. Except for shares of Common Stock issued with respect to Awards that are assumed or substituted as a result of the Company’s acquisition of another company (including by way of merger, combination or similar transaction), the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award or used to determine the amount of cash paid in connection with the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights and the settlement of Phantom Stock Awards. Any shares of Common Stock # covered by an Award (or a portion of an Award) that is forfeited or canceled or that expires or # except as provided below, that otherwise would be issued but are withheld in respect of taxes (up to the maximum statutory rate), shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Share Pool Limit and shall remain available for Awards under the Plan; provided that the following shall not remain available for Awards under the Plan and shall count against the Share Pool Limit: # any shares tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price of, or tax withholding obligations related to, Awards, # any shares repurchased by the Company from a Participant with the proceeds from the exercise of Options and # any shares reserved for issuance under a Stock Appreciation Right Award that exceed the number of shares actually issued upon exercise. The shares to be delivered under the Plan shall be made available from # authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, # Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company or # previously issued shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market, in each case as the Committee may determine from time to time in its sole discretion. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 14(a), no more than 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

Shares Available. The Shares issuable under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held in the Company’s treasury. The total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be issued under the Plan may equal but may not exceed 15,000,000, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.3; provided, however, that from the aggregate limit, no more than 7,500,000 Shares may be available for grant in the form of Incentive Stock Options.

Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 909,090 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3. For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the Plan shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares shall not be added to the shares authorized for grant under the Plan: # shares tendered or held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, and # shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise thereof. In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however, no more than 378,787 shares of Stock in the aggregate may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock.

The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares. Shares issued in connection with awards that are assumed, converted or substituted as a result of the Company’s acquisition of another company (including by way of merger, combination or similar transaction) (“Acquisition Awards”) will not count against the number of Shares that may be granted under the Plan.

Aggregate Number of Shares Authorized for Issuance. Subject to any adjustment as provided in the Plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 18,000,0001 Shares, all of which may granted as Incentive Stock Options.
