Company, or any Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan
of the Company or any Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries) through one transaction or a
series of related transactions of beneficial ownership of equity securities of the Company, BKC or
any Parent representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding equity
securities of the Company, BKC or any Parent, even if such transaction shall not constitute a
Change in Control, or (iv) 3G no longer having the ability to appoint 25% or more of the directors
of the Company, BKC or any Parent, then, unless otherwise provided in any Award Agreement or in any
Employment Agreement or other agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant, any
outstanding Awards may be dealt with in accordance with any of the following approaches, without
the requirement of obtaining any consent or agreement of a Participant as such, as determined by
the agreement effectuating the transaction or, if and to the extent not so determined, as
determined by the Committee: (i) the continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the
Company is the surviving entity, (ii) the assumption or substitution for, as those terms are
defined below, the outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent or subsidiary, (iii)
full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards, or (iv)
settlement of the value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents or other property
followed by cancellation of such Awards (which value, in the case of Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights, shall be measured by the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds
the exercise or grant price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as of the effective date of
the transaction). If and to the extent that the approach chosen results in an acceleration or
potential acceleration of the exercisability, vesting or settlement of any Award, the Committee may
impose such conditions upon the exercise, vesting and/or settlement of the Award (including without
limitation a requirement that some or all of the proceeds from the accelerated portion of the Award
be held in escrow and/or remain subject to risks of forfeiture or other conditions) as it shall
determine; provided that those risks of forfeiture or other conditions are not in the good faith
judgment of the Committee more restrictive than those under the original terms of the Award
Agreement and do not result in any violation of Section 409A of the Code. The Committee shall give
written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 16(g) at a reasonable period
of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or
after the approval of such transaction), in order that Participants may have a reasonable period of
time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise any Awards that are
then exercisable (including any Awards that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such
transaction). A Participant may condition his exercise of any Awards upon the consummation of the
transaction.
(h) The Committee may impose restrictions on any Award with respect to non-competition,
confidentiality, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants as it deems necessary in its sole
discretion. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants and/or for any other
reasons specified in the Award Agreement or in any Employment Agreement or other agreement between
the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, the Committee may require the clawing back of any
rights or benefits under any Awards, the forfeiture of any portion of any Award, including the
Repurchase Price payable to the Participant in connection with any repurchase of Shares by the
Company and/or that the Participant pay to the Company any amounts realized by such Participant
upon the Participants exercise or sale of any Award.

Section 17: Amendments; Waivers and Termination.
(a) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided
in an Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or
terminate the Plan or any portion thereof, at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without (i) shareholder
approval if such approval is required by the listed company rules of the stock exchange, if any, on
which the Shares are principally traded or quoted, or is required by applicable law, or (ii) the
consent of the affected Participant, if such action would adversely affect the rights of such
Participant under any outstanding Award, except to the extent any such amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuance or termination is made to cause the Plan to comply with applicable law,
stock exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may amend the Plan, and may adopt such
modifications, procedures, and subplans, in such manner as may be necessary or desirable to enable
the Plan to achieve its stated purposes in any jurisdiction in a tax-efficient manner and to comply
with the provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or any Affiliates may
operate to assure the viability of benefits from Awards granted to Participants performing services
in such countries.
(b) The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or
retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an
Award, provided, however, that no such action shall adversely affect the rights of any affected
Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, except to
the extent any such action is made to cause the Plan to comply with applicable law, stock exchange
rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations; and provided further that,
except as provided in Section 5(d), no such action shall directly or indirectly, through
cancellation and regrant or any other method, reduce, or have the effect of reducing, the exercise
price of any Award established at the time of grant thereof.
(c) The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and
the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of events (including, without limitation, the
events described in Section 5(d)) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the
Company, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the
Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
(d) Any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Committee may cause any Award granted hereunder to be canceled in consideration of a cash payment
or alternative Award made to the holder of such canceled Award equal in value to the Fair Market
Value of such canceled Award (which value, in the case of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights,
shall be measured by the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the
exercise price or grant price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as of the effective date of
the cancellation of the Award).
14
(e) The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency
in the Plan or any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry
the Plan into effect.
Section 18: Miscellaneous.
(a) No employee, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award
under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, Participants,
or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not
be the same with respect to each recipient. Any Award granted under the Plan shall be a one-time
Award which does not constitute a promise of future grants. The Company, in its sole discretion,
maintains the Right to make available future grants hereunder.
(b) The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or
Transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a
Participant the minimum statutory amount (in cash, Shares, other securities or other Awards) of
withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or Transfer under such
Award or under the Plan and to take such other action (including, without limitation, providing for
elective payment of such amounts in cash or Shares by the Participant) as may be necessary in the
opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.
(c) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in
effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally
applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
(d) The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be
retained in the employ of, or to continue to provide Service to, the Company or any Affiliate.
Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant, free from
any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in
any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding the parties. The receipt of any Award under
the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on the receiving Participant except as set forth in
such Award Agreement.
(e) If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or would
disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision
shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed
or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of
the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award,
and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
(f) Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate
fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other
person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the
Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
general creditor of the Company.
15
(g) Whole or fractional Shares (including Millishares) may be issued or delivered pursuant to
the Plan or any Award.
Section 19: Term of the Plan. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after February 1, 2021. However, unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted
may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend,
discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such
Award, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date.
Section 20: Section 409A of the Code.
(a) The Award Agreement for any Award that the Committee reasonably determines to constitute a
Section 409A Plan (as defined below), and the provisions of the Plan applicable to that Award,
shall be construed in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the
Code, and the Committee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Participant, may
amend any Award Agreement (and the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) if and to the extent
that the Committee determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(b) If any Award constitutes a nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Section 409A of
the Code (a Section 409A Plan), then the Award shall be subject to the following additional
requirements, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code:
(i) Payments under the Section 409A Plan may not be made earlier than the earliest date on
which a distribution may be made under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code;
(ii) The time or schedule for any payment of the deferred compensation may not be accelerated,
except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations or other applicable guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service;
(iii) Any elections with respect to the deferral of such compensation or the time and form of
distribution of such deferred compensation shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A(a)(4)
of the Code; and
(iv) In the case of any Participant who is specified employee, a distribution on account of
a separation from service may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of
the Participants separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participants death),
or such other date as may be permissible without violating Section 409A of the Code. For purposes
of the foregoing, the terms in quotations shall have the same meanings as those terms have for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and the limitations set forth herein shall be applied in such
manner (and only to the extent) as shall be necessary to comply with any requirements of Section
409A of the Code that are applicable to the Award.
16
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement,
the Company does not make any representation to any Participant or Beneficiary that any Awards made
pursuant to this Plan are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of, Section 409A of the Code,
and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the
Participant or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the
Participant or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Plan, or any Award
Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect
thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Section 21: Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware.
