SECTION 1.
PURPOSES AND DEFINITIONS
(a) Purposes. The purposes of the Plan are (i) to attract, retain and incent talented personnel with respect to

the 2010 Effective Date, as applicable, the applicable amendment and restatement of the Plan and further
amendments and restatements only apply to the extent that they (i) do not impair the rights of an optionee, unless
otherwise agreed in writing by any such optionee and the Company, and (ii) do not enlarge the rights of an
