Amendment No. 4 modifies the 2013 Plan to: (1) increase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan by an additional 1,600,000 Shares, increasing the total number of Shares under the 2013 Plan from 12,077,000 to 13,677,000, with a corresponding increase in the total number of shares that may be issued or transferred upon the exercise of incentive stock options from 12,077,000 to 13,677,000; (2) increase the total number of Shares issuable in connection with “full value awards” (awards other than stock options, SARs or other awards for which the holder pays the intrinsic value existing as of the date of grant) from 8,088,000 Shares to 9,688,000 Shares (an increase of 1,600,000); and (3) prohibit dividends and dividend equivalents from being paid out until after such time (if any) as the underlying awards vest. The outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan continue to remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.
