PROPOSAL 2—
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2018 PLAN

Background

The 2018 Plan, was first approved by our board of directors and stockholders on February 1, 2018. There are currently approximately 1,750 employees and seven non-employee directors eligible to participate in the 2018 Plan. The 2018 Plan authorized the issuance of up to 2,820,558 shares of our common stock to eligible participants. As of December 31, 2018, 220,281 shares were available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

In March 2019, our board of directors approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance by 3,600,000 shares. Our board of directors has determined that the amendment to the 2018 Plan is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, and has submitted the amendment to be voted on by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

Proposed Amendment

If our stockholders approve the amendment to the 2018 Plan, the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan will be increased by 3,600,000, subject to the authority of our board of directors to adjust this amount as described below under the heading "—Adjustments; Corporate Transactions." As of April 3, 2019, this increase would result in 4,013,236 shares being available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan. The Company will register the additional shares on a Form S-8 following the Annual Meeting.

A copy of the 2018 Plan, as proposed to be amended, is attached as Appendix A .

Reasons for the Amendment

We are proposing to increase the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan to ensure that we have sufficient shares available for awards to our employees and non-employee directors.

Eligibility; Administration and Terms

Purpose. The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to attract and retain officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key personnel and to provide those persons incentives and awards for performance.

Administration; Effectiveness. The 2018 Plan will generally be administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The compensation committee has the authority to determine eligible participants in the 2018 Plan, and to interpret and make determinations under the 2018 Plan. Any interpretation or determination by the compensation committee under the 2018 Plan will be final and conclusive. The compensation committee may delegate all or any part of its authority under the 2018 Plan to any subcommittee thereof, and may delegate its administrative duties or powers to one or more of our officers, agents or advisors.

Shares Available for Awards under the 2018 Plan. Subject to adjustment as described in the 2018 Plan, the number of shares of our common stock available for awards under the 2018 Plan was 2,820,558, plus any shares of our common stock that become available under the 2018 Plan as a result of forfeiture, cancellation, expiration, or cash settlement of awards (the "Available Shares"), with such shares subject to adjustment to reflect any split or combination of our common stock. The Available Shares may be shares of original issuance, treasury shares or a combination of the foregoing.

Table of Contents

The 2018 Plan also contains the following customary limits: (1) calendar year limits relating to the grant of stock options and stock appreciation rights and for restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and/or other stock-based awards that are performance-based awards intended to satisfy the requirements for "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or Qualified Performance-Based Awards; and (2) limits on the aggregate maximum value that a participant may receive in respect of an award of performance units and/or other awards payable in cash that are Qualified Performance-Based Awards, or a cash incentive award that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award in any calendar year.

Share Counting. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock available for award under the 2018 Plan will be reduced by one share of our common stock for every one share of our common stock subject to an award granted under the 2018 Plan.

The following shares of our common stock will be added (or added back, as applicable) to the aggregate number of shares of our common stock available under the 2018 Plan: (1) shares subject to an award that is cancelled or forfeited, expires or is settled for cash (in whole or in part); (2) shares of our common stock withheld by us in payment of the exercise price of a stock option granted under the 2018 Plan; (3) shares of our common stock tendered or otherwise used in payment of the exercise price of a stock option granted under the 2018 Plan; (4) shares of our common stock withheld by us or tendered or otherwise used to satisfy a tax withholding obligation; provided, however, that with respect to restricted stock, this provision will only be in effect until the ten-year anniversary of the date the 2018 Plan was initially approved by our stockholders; and (5) shares of our common stock subject to an appreciation right granted under the 2018 Plan that are not actually issued in connection with the settlement of such appreciation right. In addition, if under the 2018 Plan a participant has elected to give up the right to receive compensation in exchange for shares of our common stock based on fair market value, such shares of our common stock will not count against the aggregate number of shares of our common stock available under the 2018 Plan.

Shares of our common stock issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 Plan in substitution for or in conversion of, or in connection with the assumption of, awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger with us or any of our subsidiaries, or substitute awards, will not count against, nor otherwise be taken into account in respect of, the share limits under the 2018 Plan. Additionally, shares of common stock available under certain plans that we or our subsidiaries may assume in connection with corporate transactions from another entity may be available for certain awards under the 2018 Plan, but will not count against, nor otherwise be taken into account in respect of, the share limits under the 2018 Plan.

Types of Awards Under the 2018 Plan. Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, we may grant restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock options (including incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code, or Incentive Stock Options), appreciation rights, cash incentive awards, performance shares, performance units, and certain other awards based on or related to shares of our common stock.

Each grant of an award under the 2018 Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement or agreements, which will contain such terms and provisions as the compensation committee may determine, consistent with the 2018 Plan. Those terms and provisions include the number of our shares of our common stock subject to each award, vesting terms and provisions that apply upon events such as retirement, death or disability of the participant or in the event of a change in control. A brief description of the types of awards which may be granted under the 2018 Plan is set forth below.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units awarded under the 2018 Plan constitute an agreement by us to deliver shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination thereof, to the participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions (which may include the achievement of management objectives) during the

Table of Contents

restriction period as the compensation committee may specify. Each grant or sale of restricted stock units may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by the participant that is less than the fair market value of shares of our common stock on the date of grant. During the restriction period applicable to restricted stock units, the participant will have no right to transfer any rights under the award and will have no rights of ownership in the shares of our common stock underlying the restricted stock units and no right to vote them. Rights to dividend equivalents may be extended to and made part of any restricted stock unit award at the discretion of and on the terms determined by the compensation committee. Each grant of restricted stock units will specify that the amount payable with respect to such restricted stock units will be paid in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of the two.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock constitutes an immediate transfer of the ownership of shares of our common stock to the participant in consideration of the performance of services, entitling such participant to dividend, voting and other ownership rights, subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer determined by the compensation committee for a period of time determined by the compensation committee or until certain management objectives specified by the compensation committee are achieved. Each such grant or sale of restricted stock may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by the participant that is less than the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant.

Any grant of restricted stock may specify the treatment of dividends or distributions paid on restricted stock that remains subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

Stock Options. Stock options granted under the 2018 Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or non-qualified stock options. Except with respect to substitute awards, Incentive Stock Options and non-qualified stock options must have an exercise price per share that is not less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of a stock option may not extend more than ten years after the date of grant.

Each grant will specify the form of consideration to be paid in satisfaction of the exercise price.

Appreciation Rights. The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of appreciation rights. An appreciation right is a right to receive from us an amount equal to 100%, or such lesser percentage as the compensation committee may determine, of the spread between the base price and the value of shares of our common stock on the date of exercise.

An appreciation right may be paid in cash, shares of our common stock or any combination thereof. Except with respect to substitute awards, the base price of an appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. The term of an appreciation right may not extend more than ten years from the date of grant.

Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares, and Performance Units. Performance shares, performance units and cash incentive awards may also be granted to participants under the 2018 Plan. A performance share is a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of one share of our common stock, and a performance unit is a bookkeeping entry that records a unit equivalent to $1.00 or such other value as determined by the compensation committee. Each grant will specify the number or amount of performance shares or performance units, or the amount payable with respect to cash incentive awards, being awarded, which number or amount may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors.

These awards, when granted under the 2018 Plan, become payable to participants upon the achievement of specified management objectives and upon such terms and conditions as the compensation committee determines at the time of grant.

Table of Contents

Each grant may specify with respect to the management objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of performance shares or performance units, or the amount payable with respect to cash incentive awards, that will be earned if performance is at or above the minimum or threshold level, or is at or above the target level but falls short of maximum achievement. Each grant will specify the time and manner of payment of cash incentive awards, performance shares or performance units that have been earned, and any grant may further specify that any such amount may be paid or settled in cash, shares of our common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units or any combination thereof. Any grant of performance shares may provide for the payment of dividend equivalents in cash or in additional shares of our common stock.

Other Awards. The compensation committee may grant such other awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, shares of our common stock or factors that may influence the value of such shares of our common stock, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock, purchase rights for shares of our common stock, awards with value and payment contingent upon our performance of specified subsidiaries, affiliates or other business units or any other factors designated by the compensation committee, and awards valued by reference to the book value of the shares of our common stock or the value of securities of, or the performance of our subsidiaries, affiliates or other business units.

Adjustments; Corporate Transactions. The compensation committee will make or provide for such adjustments in the: (1) number of shares of our common stock covered by outstanding stock options, appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units granted under the 2018 Plan; (2) if applicable, number of shares of our common stock covered by other awards granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan; (3) exercise price or base price provided in outstanding stock options and appreciation rights; (4) kind of shares covered thereby; (5) cash incentive awards; and (6) other award terms, as the compensation committee determines to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants that otherwise would result from (a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in our capital structure, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or (c) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.

In the event of any such transaction or event, or in the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2018 Plan), the compensation committee may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan such alternative consideration (including cash), if any, as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and will require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, for each stock option or appreciation right with an exercise price greater than the consideration offered in connection with any such transaction or event or change in control, the compensation committee may in its discretion elect to cancel such stock option or appreciation right without any payment to the person holding such stock option or appreciation right. The compensation committee will make or provide for such adjustments to the numbers and kind of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan and the share limits of the 2018 Plan as the compensation committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be appropriate in connection with such transaction or event. However, any adjustment to the limit on the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options will be made only if, and to the extent, such adjustment would not cause any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to so qualify.

Table of Contents

Transferability of Award. Except as otherwise provided by the compensation committee, no stock option, appreciation right, restricted share, restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit, cash incentive award, other award or dividend equivalents paid with respect to awards made under the 2018 Plan may be transferred by a participant.

Amendment and Termination of the 2018 Plan. Our board of directors generally may amend the 2018 Plan from time to time, in whole or in part. However, if any amendment (1) would materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the 2018 Plan, (2) would materially increase the number of shares of our common stock which may be issued under the 2018 Plan, (3) would materially modify the requirements for participation in the 2018 Plan, or (4) must otherwise be approved by our stockholders in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), then such amendment will be subject to stockholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained.

Our board of directors may, in its discretion, terminate the 2018 Plan at any time. Termination of the 2018 Plan will not affect the rights of participants or their successors under any awards outstanding and not exercised in full on the date of termination. No grant will be made under the 2018 Plan more than ten years after the adoption of the 2018 Plan, but all grants made on or prior to such date shall continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms of the 2018 Plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain of the Federal income tax consequences relating to awards under the 2018 Plan based on Federal income tax laws currently in effect. This summary, which is presented for the information of stockholders considering how to vote on this proposal and not for 2018 Plan participants, is not intended to be complete and does not describe Federal taxes other than income taxes (such as Medicare and Social Security taxes), or state, local or foreign tax consequences.

Tax Consequences to Participants

Restricted Stock. The recipient of restricted stock generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of the restricted stock (reduced by any amount paid by the recipient for such restricted stock) at such time as the shares of restricted stock are no longer subject to forfeiture or restrictions on transfer for purposes of Section 83 of the Code ("Restrictions"). However, if permitted by the Company, a recipient who so elects under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days of the date of grant of the shares of restricted stock will have taxable ordinary income on the date of grant of the shares equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares (determined without regard to the Restrictions) over the purchase price, if any, of such restricted stock. If a Section 83(b) election has not been made, any dividends received with respect to restricted stock that are subject to the Restrictions generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary income to the recipient.

Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares and Performance Units. No income generally will be recognized upon the grant of cash incentive awards, performance shares or performance units. Upon payment or settlement of cash incentive awards, performance shares or performance units, the recipient generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any shares of common stock received.

Nonqualified Stock Options. In general:

•: no income will be recognized by an optionee at the time that a non-qualified stock option is granted;

Table of Contents

•: at the time of exercise of a non-qualified stock option, ordinary income will be recognized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option price paid for the shares and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise; and
•: at the time of sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, appreciation (or depreciation) in value of the shares after the date of exercise will be treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.

Incentive Stock Options. No income generally will be recognized by an optionee upon the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. If shares of common stock are issued to the optionee pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, and if no disqualifying disposition of such shares is made by such optionee within two years after the date of grant or within one year after the transfer of such shares to the optionee, then upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option price will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss.

If shares of common stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of prior to the expiration of either holding period described above, the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of such shares at the time of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of such shares if a sale or exchange) over the exercise price paid for such shares. Any further gain (or loss) realized by the participant generally will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.

Appreciation Rights. No income will be recognized by a participant in connection with the grant of an appreciation right. When the appreciation right is exercised, the participant normally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of exercise an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any shares of common stock received on the exercise.

RSUs. No income generally will be recognized upon the award of RSUs. The recipient of an RSU award generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of shares of common stock on the date that such shares are transferred to the participant under the award, and the capital gains/loss holding period for such shares will also commence on such date.

Tax Consequences to the Company or its Subsidiaries

To the extent that a participant recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, the Company or the subsidiary for which the participant performs services will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and is not disallowed by the $1 million annual limitation on compensation paid to certain covered executives under Section 162(m) of the Code.

New Plan Benefits

It is not possible to determine the specific amounts and types of awards that may be awarded in the future under the 2018 Plan because grants of awards under the 2018 Plan are subject to the discretion of the plan administrator. For information regarding the grants of awards under the 2018 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2018, see "The Board, Its Committees and Its Compensation—Director Compensation Table" and "Executive Compensation—Grants of Plan Based Awards."

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the Amendment to the 2018 Plan.

PROPOSAL 3—
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF
OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we are submitting the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement to our stockholders for an advisory vote.

As described below under the heading "Executive Compensation," the Company's executive compensation program is designed to reward the contributions of each individual executive officer, to ensure that each executive officer's interest is aligned with those of the Company's stockholders, and to provide sufficient incentives to executive officers to ensure their dedication to the Company. The Company seeks to achieve these goals by providing sufficient base salaries to compensate executive officers for the day-to-day performance of their duties and awarding cash bonuses when the executive attains the personal or corporate goals and objectives established by the Company. Also, from time to time, the Company grants equity-based awards when it believes that such equity awards will further align the interests of executive officers with those of the Company's stockholders and provide an additional incentive to executive officers to contribute to the achievement of the Company's financial and strategic objectives.

The vote on this proposal is not intended to address any specific element of compensation. Rather, the vote relates to the overall compensation of our named executive officers, as described under the heading "Executive Compensation" in this proxy statement. We are asking our stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at our Annual Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED."

This vote is advisory and is not binding on the Company, our board of directors or the compensation committee. However, the compensation committee expects to consider the outcome of this advisory vote in evaluating whether any actions are appropriate with respect to our compensation programs for our executive officers.

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.

Table of Contents

PROPOSAL 4—
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES
ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are submitting the frequency of advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers to an advisory vote of our stockholders. In voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer that we conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation every year, every two years, or every three years. Stockholders also may, if they wish, abstain from voting on this proposal.

Our board of directors has determined that an advisory vote each year on executive compensation is the most appropriate approach for the Company and its stockholders. In making its recommendation, our board of directors considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation allows our stockholders to provide us with timely and direct input on our compensation policies, programs and practices.

Our board of directors recommends that you vote for an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. This vote is advisory and not binding on the Company or our board of directors. However, our board of directors intends to evaluate the voting results on this proposal in determining how frequently the Company will submit advisory votes on executive compensation to our stockholders.

The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the vote every one, two or three years, or abstaining). Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the board of directors.

The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote for a frequency of "1 YEAR."

PROPOSAL 5—
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
GRANT THORNTON LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2019

The audit committee has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2019. The board of directors is asking stockholders to ratify this appointment. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations and the NYSE listing requirements require the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to be engaged, retained and supervised by the audit committee. However, the board of directors considers the selection of an independent registered public accounting firm to be an important matter to stockholders. Accordingly, the board of directors considers a proposal for stockholders to ratify this appointment to be an opportunity for stockholders to provide input to the audit committee and the board of directors on a key corporate governance issue.

Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement. They will also be available to respond to appropriate questions. For additional information regarding our independent registered public accounting firm, see "Principal Accountant Fees and Services."

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2019.

THE BOARD, ITS COMMITTEES AND ITS COMPENSATION

Board of Directors

Our board of directors presently consists of eight members, seven of whom are non-employee directors. Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting our entire board of directors, with each class serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following such election. The classes of our directors are as follows:

•: Class I, consisting of Messrs. Lemmerman and Sim, whose terms expire at the 2019 Annual Meeting;
•: Class II, consisting of Messrs. Doss, Jennings and Ong, whose terms will expire at our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders; and
•: Class III, consisting of Messrs. Goh and Dell'Osso and Ms. Johnson, whose terms will expire at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

Director Compensation

The elements of compensation for 2018 payable to our non-employee directors who are not designated or elected pursuant to the terms of any of the Company's existing investors' rights agreements, as amended (each, an "Eligible Director"), are briefly described in the following table:


Board Service:
Annual Cash Retainer	$	50,000
Annual Grant of Restricted Stock Units	$	100,000
Board Committee Service:
Audit Committee Chair Annual Cash Retainer	$	15,000
Compensation Committee Chair Annual Cash Retainer	$	7,500
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair Annual Cash Retainer	$	7,500

For 2018, Ms. Johnson was the only Eligible Director on our board of directors. Our non-Eligible Directors do not receive compensation for their service on our board of directors.

In accordance with our general expense reimbursement policies, we generally reimburse our directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that they incur in connection with their service as directors.

The grant of restricted stock units to our Eligible Director was made under the 2018 Plan. These restricted stock units will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Pursuant to SEC rules, the amount shown in this column excludes the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for information regarding the assumptions made in determining these values. As of December 31, 2018, Ms. Johnson held 5,000 restricted stock units.

Director Independence

The board of directors reviews at least annually the independence of each director. During these reviews, the board of directors considers transactions and relationships between each director (and his or her immediate family and affiliates) and our Company and its management to determine whether any such transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. This review is based primarily on responses of the directors to questions in a directors' and officers' questionnaire regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with the Company and our management. Based on this review, our board of directors has determined that all of our directors, except Mr. Doss, are independent under NYSE rules. As required by the NYSE, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only non-management directors are present. Our Chairman, Goh Yong Siang, presides over all executive sessions.

Corporate Governance

We believe that good corporate governance is important to ensure that, as a public company, we will be managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. We and our board of directors have reviewed the corporate governance policies and practices of other public companies, as well as those suggested by various authorities in corporate governance. We have also considered the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules of the SEC and NYSE.

Based on this review, we have established and adopted charters for the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, as well as corporate governance guidelines.

Our committee charters and corporate governance guidelines are available on our website (www.ftsi.com) in the Investor Relations section. Copies of these documents are also available upon written request to our Secretary.

Table of Contents

The board of directors periodically reviews its corporate governance policies and practices. Based on these reviews, the board of directors may adopt changes to policies and practices that are in the best interest of our stockholders and as appropriate to comply with any new SEC or NYSE rules.

Board Leadership Structure and Board's Role in Risk Oversight

Our corporate governance guidelines do not require that the roles of Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer be held by different persons. The board of directors believes this issue is part of the succession planning process and that it is in the best interests of the Company for the board of directors to consider it each time it appoints the Chair or Chief Executive Officer.

These leadership roles are currently filled separately by our Chairman of the board of directors, Goh Yong Siang, and by our Chief Executive Officer, Michael J. Doss. The board of directors believes this leadership structure affords the Company an effective combination of management and non-management experience, continuity and independence that currently serves the board of directors and the Company well.

Risk is inherent with every business and we face a number of risks. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks, while the board of directors, as a whole and through our audit committee, is responsible for overseeing our business and affairs, including overseeing its risk assessment and risk management functions. The board of directors has delegated responsibility for reviewing our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management to our audit committee through its charter. The board of directors has determined that this oversight responsibility can be most efficiently performed by our audit committee as part of its overall responsibility for providing independent, objective oversight with respect to our accounting and financial reporting functions, internal and external audit functions and systems of internal controls over financial reporting and legal, ethical and regulatory compliance. Our audit committee regularly reports to the board of directors with respect to its oversight of these areas.

Board Meetings

The board of directors held four meetings during 2018. Each director serving on the board of directors in 2018 attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and the total number of meetings of the committees on which the director served during the time the director served on the board of directors. Under our corporate governance guidelines, each director is expected to devote the time necessary to appropriately discharge the director's responsibilities and to rigorously prepare for, attend and participate in all meetings of the board of directors and meetings of committees on which the director serves.

Annual Meetings of Stockholders

The Company's directors are encouraged to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, but we do not currently have a policy relating to directors' attendance at the annual meeting. This will be our first annual meeting since we completed our initial public offering in 2018.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, and may establish such other committees as it shall determine from time to time. Each of the standing committees of the board of directors has the responsibilities described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors.

Table of Contents

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Michael C. Jennings, Carol J. Johnson and Ong Tiong Sin, with Mr. Jennings serving as chair of the audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Jennings, Ms. Johnson and Mr. Ong are independent under NYSE rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Each of the committee members is financially literate within the requirements of the NYSE rules and our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Jennings and Ms. Johnson qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined by applicable SEC regulations.

The duties of the audit committee are set forth in its charter, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.ftsi.com. Our audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting process and the audit of our financial statements and assists our board of directors in monitoring our financial systems and legal and regulatory compliance.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Goh Yong Siang, Ong Tiong Sin and Domenic J. Dell'Osso, Jr., with Mr. Goh serving as chair of the committee. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Goh, Ong, and Dell'Osso are independent under NYSE rules and Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act and that each of Messrs. Goh and Ong qualifies as a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(d)(3) under the Exchange Act and as "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Table of Contents

The duties of the compensation committee are set forth in its charter, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.ftsi.com.

•: managing such other matters that are specifically delegated to our compensation committee by applicable law or by the board of directors from time to time; and
•: retaining and terminating compensation consultants to assist in the evaluation of our compensation and approving the fees and other retention terms of such compensation consultants.

The compensation committee may, in its discretion, delegate specific duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee or an individual committee member, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The compensation committee also has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and authority to retain counsel and advisors at our expense to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Domenic J. Dell'Osso, Jr., Ong Tiong Sin, and Boon Sim, with Mr. Dell'Osso serving as chair of the committee. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Dell'Osso, Ong, and Sim are independent under NYSE rules.

The duties of the nominating and corporate governance committee are set forth in its charter, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.ftsi.com. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees and assists our board of directors in reviewing and recommending corporate governance policies and nominees for election to our board of directors and its committees.

The nominating and corporate governance committee also has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties. It also has the authority to retain counsel and advisors at our expense for any matters related to the fulfillment of its responsibilities and duties.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serve, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee. No director who served as a member of the compensation committee during the prior fiscal year (1) was during such year, or had previously been, an officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries or (2) had any material interest in a transaction of the Company or a business relationship with, or any indebtedness to, the Company.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The board of directors has adopted an amended and restated code of business conduct and ethics that is applicable to all of our employees, officers, and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. The code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.ftsi.com. Any waiver of this code for any executive officer or director may be made only by our board of directors or a committee of the board of directors. We will post information regarding any amendment to, or waiver from, our code of business conduct and ethics on our website in the Investor Relations section.

Qualifications for Director Nominees

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for assessing, developing and communicating with the board of directors the appropriate criteria required for members of the board of directors. This assessment includes factors such as judgment, skill, diversity, integrity, experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size, the interplay of the candidate's experience with the experience of other board members, and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board of directors and any committees of the board of directors.

Director Candidate Recommendations by Stockholders

Subject to the provisions of the investors' rights agreements, stockholders may recommend director candidates for consideration by our nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee will review director candidates recommended by stockholders in

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In this compensation discussion, we describe and discuss the principles and policies used in setting the compensation of our named executive officers and other executive officers. Our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 were:

•: Michael J. Doss, Chief Executive Officer;
•: Buddy Petersen, Chief Operating Officer;
•: Lance Turner, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer;
•: Karen D. Thornton, Chief Administrative Officer;
•: Jennifer L. Keefe, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer; and
•: Perry A. Harris, Former Senior Vice President, Commercial.

Objective and Design of Compensation Policy

The objective of the Company's executive compensation policy is to:

•: attract and retain exceptional individuals as executive officers;
•: provide key executives with motivation to perform to the full extent of their abilities to maximize the performance of the Company and deliver enhanced value to the Company's stockholders; and
•: compensate key executives for outstanding performance.

What the Company's Executive Compensation Program is Designed to Reward

Overall, the Company's executive compensation program is designed to reward the contributions of each individual executive officer, to ensure that each executive officer's interest is aligned with those of the Company's stockholders, and to provide sufficient incentives to executive officers to ensure their dedication to the Company. As discussed further below, the Company seeks to achieve these goals by providing sufficient base salaries to compensate executive officers for the day-to-day performance of their duties and awarding cash bonuses when the executive attains the personal or corporate goals and objectives established by the Company. Also, from time to time, the Company grants equity-based awards when it believes that such equity awards will further align the interests of executive officers with those of the Company's stockholders and provide an additional incentive to executive officers to contribute to the achievement of the Company's financial and strategic objectives.

General Executive Compensation Policies

Process for Setting Total Compensation

The compensation committee has historically reviewed the compensation policies and levels of companies that are engaged in the same industry as the Company, and has conducted the review without the advice of an outside consultant or advisor. While the compensation committee conducted this review and considered the information prior to setting compensation levels for fiscal year 2018, it did not rely on any peer group analysis or engage in any benchmarking.

Upon hiring or promoting an executive officer, the compensation committee will set the initial levels of base salary and other compensation on the basis of subjective factors, including experience, individual achievements, and level of responsibility assumed at the Company, and may consider market compensation practices from time to time. Actual base salaries, cash bonuses, and equity-based awards

Table of Contents

may be adjusted from year to year based upon each executive officer's periodic review and level of attainment of personal and corporate goals and objectives, including Company financial and safety performance, stockholder return, and such other factors as the compensation committee deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company's stockholders.

Each executive officer's periodic review is a subjective process whereby the Chief Executive Officer or the compensation committee (as applicable, as described below) evaluates various factors relevant to the executive officer's contributions to the Company, such as the executive's role in the development and execution of strategic plans, leadership skills, motivation, and involvement in industry groups. The weight given to such factors may vary from one executive officer to another.

The compensation committee seeks recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer regarding changes to or increases in the overall compensation level or any particular element of compensation for the other executive officers. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer is principally responsible for reviewing the other executive officer's performance, and for making recommendations for the Company's compensation plan for the other executive officers for the following fiscal year. The compensation committee reviews the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer in light of his proximity to the other executives and his knowledge of their contributions to the Company. The compensation committee independently reviews the performance of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and determined any changes to or increases in the overall compensation level or any particular element of compensation for the Chief Executive Officer.

Consideration of Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The compensation committee will consider the outcome of any advisory vote on executive compensation when making future compensation decisions for the executive officers.

Elements of Compensation

The Company's executive compensation program consists of the following elements of compensation, each described in greater depth below:

•: Base Salary;
•: Annual Bonus;
•: Discretionary Bonus;
•: Equity-Based Compensation;
•: Perquisites; and
•: General Benefits.

In determining the different elements of compensation to provide to the executive officers, the compensation committee does not adhere to a specific allocation between short-term and long-term compensation, or between cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, the compensation committee determines the elements of compensation in a manner designed to reward strong financial performance, provide overall compensation opportunities that are sufficient to attract and retain highly skilled executive officers, and ensure that the executive officers' interests are aligned with those of the Company's stockholders. This may result in the executive officers receiving all cash compensation in some years (through base salary and annual bonuses) and a combination of cash and equity-based compensation in other years (through base salary, annual bonuses and equity awards).

Table of Contents

Base Salary

The Company pays base salaries to the executive officers because the Company believes that base salaries are essential to recruiting and retaining qualified executives. In addition, base salaries create an incentive for the executive officers to make meaningful contributions to the Company's success because they are subject to increase based on the executive's performance. The compensation committee sets the initial base salary level upon the hiring or promotion of an executive officer and may incorporate base salary into related employment contracts. Base salary levels are determined initially based on the executive officer's previous experience and employment, and the executive officer's expected duties and responsibilities with respect to the Company. Thereafter, the compensation committee may change an executive officer's base salary from time to time, based on the results of the executive officer's periodic review (which is conducted by the Chief Executive Officer or his designee for each of the other executive officers and by the compensation committee for the Chief Executive Officer), and based on the compensation committee's subjective assessment of the Company's overall performance during the evaluation period.

Annual Bonus Compensation

Historically, the board of directors has annually approved short-term incentive plans. In April 2018, our board of directors approved the 2018 short-term incentive plan (the "2018 STIP"), to motivate employees to drive outstanding company performance, provide flexibility given the uncertain business environment and improve employee retention. The named executive officers were eligible to participate.

The 2018 incentives were based on the achievement of:

•: Financial targets for Adjusted EBITDA;
•: Safety performance as measured by our total recordable incident rate ("TRIR"); and
•: Individual contributions towards Company performance.

The 2018 STIP provided for a target award equal to 100% of base salary for Mr. Doss, 80% of base salary for Mr. Petersen, 80% of base salary for Mr. Turner, 60% of base salary for Ms. Thornton, 60% of base salary for Ms. Keefe and 60% of base salary for Mr. Harris. The payout under the 2018 STIP was based 55% on the financial target, 20% on the safety target and 25% on individual contributions. The compensation committee set targets for 2018, based on the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. The incentives were contingent upon the minimum threshold being achieved. Under the 2018 STIP, the formula for determining the potential payout percentage for a named executive officer's financial target, was: (Actual Adjusted EBITDA—Minimum Threshold) / (Financial Goal—Minimum Threshold). If the financial goal was achieved, the payout percentage would be 100%. If the financial goal was exceeded, the payout percentage could reach a maximum of 200%.

The following annual targets were set in 2018:

		2018

Minimum Threshold
(Adjusted EBITDA)			$450 million
Financial Goal
(Adjusted EBITDA)			$550 million
Safety Goal
(TRIR)			0.50 or better

Table of Contents

Individual contribution goals were determined by the manager of each named executive officer, except for Mr. Doss. The individual contribution goals for Mr. Doss were determined by the board of directors.

Under the terms of the 2018 STIP, the Chief Executive Officer was delegated the authority to award amounts above the maximum payout based on the individual performance of and contribution by the named executive officer. Such additional payouts were in the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer.

Although the named executive officers were eligible to participate in the 2018 STIP, no payouts were made to the named executive officers under the 2018 STIP.

Other Bonus Compensation

The compensation committee retains discretion to grant bonus compensation to the named executive officers and other employees of the Company outside of the 2018 STIP. From time to time, the Company may award discretionary annual bonuses to the executive officers for their contributions to the Company's performance. For 2018, the compensation committee awarded the named executive officers discretionary bonuses for their contributions to the Company's performance. The Company may also enter into agreements with the executive officers in connection with their hiring, promotion or retention pursuant to which the Company agrees to pay the executive officer a bonus. The Company entered into retention bonus agreements with each of Ms. Thornton and Ms. Keefe and an employment agreement with Mr. Harris. Pursuant to the terms of their respective retention bonus agreements, during 2018, Ms. Thornton received a bonus equal to $108,000 and Ms. Keefe received a bonus equal to $106,000. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, during 2018, Mr. Harris received a bonus equal to $140,000.

The 2018 Summary Compensation Table below includes the other bonus compensation paid to the named executive officers in 2018.

Equity Compensation

The Company awards equity-based compensation to executive officers in order to provide a link between the long term results achieved for its stockholders and the rewards provided to executive officers, thereby ensuring that such officers have a continuing stake in the Company's long-term success.

2014 LTIP

In March 2014, our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2014 LTIP"). The purposes of the 2014 LTIP was to provide an additional incentive to selected employees whose contributions were essential to the growth and success of our business in order to strengthen the commitment of employees to us, motivate employees to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities, and attract and retain competent and dedicated persons whose efforts would result in our long-term growth and profitability. The 2014 LTIP provided for grants of restricted stock units, and restricted stock under a Chief Executive Officer discretionary pool, to employee participants. No equity awards were granted to any named executive officers during fiscal year 2018 under the 2014 LTIP. All outstanding awards under the 2014 LTIP vested immediately before the effectiveness of the registration statement on February 1, 2018, and were settled in cash. Following the effectiveness of the registration statement, the 2014 LTIP was terminated and no further awards will be made under the 2014 LTIP.

2018 LTIP

On February 1, 2018, our board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2018 Plan. See "Proposal 2—Approval of an Amendment to the 2018 Plan," for a description of the material terms of the 2018 Plan.

Perquisites

The Company provides its named executive officers with certain perquisites, the costs of which constitute a small percentage of each named executive officer's total compensation. These perquisites are reflected in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table and are described further in the All Other Compensation Table below.

General Benefits

The following are standard benefits offered to all eligible Company employees, including the named executive officers.

Retirement Benefits. The Company offers a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan for all eligible employees, including the named executive officers, known as the FTS International, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan is a voluntary contributory plan, which allows a participant to defer, by payroll deductions, from 0% to 100% of the participant's annual compensation, limited to certain annual maximums set by the Code. The 401(k) Plan has historically provided a discretionary matching contribution to each participant's account. The Company suspended matching contributions in July 2015 and resumed making contributions in July 2017. Each named executive officer received a matching contribution from the Company during 2018 under the 401(k) Plan. These contributions are reflected in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table.

Health and Welfare Benefits. The Company makes available medical, dental, vision, prescription drug, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, life insurance, and disability coverage to all active eligible employees, including the named executive officers.

Paid Time-Off Benefits. The Company provides paid time off, bereavement leave, maternity leave, and other paid holidays to all employees, including the named executive officers.

No member of the Committee shall be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith. In addition, the Committee is authorized to take any action it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate subject only to the express limitations contained in this Plan, and no authorization in any Plan Section or other provision of this Plan is intended or may be deemed to constitute a limitation on the authority of the Committee.

good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and shall require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, for each Option Right or Appreciation Right with an Option Price or Base Price, respectively, greater than the consideration offered in connection with any such transaction or event or Change in Control, the Committee may in its discretion elect to cancel such Option Right or Appreciation Right without any payment to the Person holding such Option Right or Appreciation Right. The Committee shall also make or provide for such adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock specified in Section 3 of this Plan as the Committee in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, determines is appropriate to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 11 ; provided , however , that any such adjustment to the number specified in Section 3(c) will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment would not cause any Option Right intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to so qualify.

(b) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of Directors then serving on the Board: individuals who, on the Effective Date, constitute the Board and any new Director (other than a Director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of Directors) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who either were Directors on the Effective Date or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended (the " Incumbent Board "); provided , however , that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (an " Election Contest ") or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a " Proxy Contest "), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest;

(c) there is consummated a merger, consolidation, wind-up, reorganization or restructuring of the Company with or into any other entity, or a similar event or series of such events, other than (i) any such event or series of events which results in (A) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such event or series of events continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, at least 51% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and (B) the

A-13

Table of Contents

individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto constituting immediately thereafter at least a majority of the board of directors of the Company, the entity surviving such merger or consolidation or, if the Company or the entity surviving such merger is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (ii) any such event or series of events effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

(d) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (it being conclusively presumed that any sale or disposition is a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets if the consummation of the sale or disposition is contingent upon approval by the Stockholders unless the Board expressly determines in writing that such approval is required solely by reason of any relationship between the Company and any other Person or an affiliate of the Company and any other Person), other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to an entity (i) at least 51% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by Stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition and (ii) the majority of whose board of directors immediately following such sale or disposition consists of individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be deemed to occur solely because any Person acquires beneficial ownership securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities as a result of the acquisition of securities of the Company by the Company which reduces the number of securities of the Company outstanding; provided that if after such acquisition by the Company such Person becomes the beneficial owner of additional securities of the Company that increases the percentage of combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control will then occur.

13. Detrimental Activity and Recapture Provisions. Any Evidence of Award may provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Company of any gain related to an award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee from time to time, if a Participant, either (a) during employment or other service with the Company or a Subsidiary, or (b) within a specified period after termination of such employment or service, engages in any detrimental activity. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Evidence of Award may also provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Company of any gain related to an award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be required by the Committee or under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the shares of Common Stock may be traded.

14. Non U.S. Participants. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of the United States of America or who provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary under an agreement with a foreign nation or agency, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements

A-14

Table of Contents

to or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan (including, without limitation, sub-plans) as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in the same manner as this Plan. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements, however, will include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the Stockholders.

15. Transferability.

(a) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no Restricted Stock Unit, Restricted Stock, Option Right, Appreciation Right, Cash Incentive Award, Performance Share, Performance Unit, award contemplated by Section 9 of this Plan or dividend equivalents paid with respect to awards made under this Plan will be transferable by the Participant except (i) if it is made by the Participant for no consideration to Immediate Family Members or to a bona fide trust, partnership or other entity controlled by and for the benefit of one or more Immediate Family Members (" Immediate Family Members " mean the Participant's spouse, children, stepchildren, parents, stepparents, siblings (including half brothers and sisters), in-laws, and other individuals who have a relationship to the Participant arising because of legal adoption; however, no transfer may be made to the extent that transferability would cause Form S-8 or any successor form thereto not to be able to register shares of Common Stock related to an award) or (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution. In no event will any such award granted under the Plan be transferred for value. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, Option Rights and Appreciation Rights will be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by him or her or, in the event of the Participant's legal incapacity to do so, by his or her guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Participant in a fiduciary capacity under state law or court supervision.

(b) The Committee may specify at the Date of Grant that part or all of the shares of Common Stock that are (i) to be issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Restriction Period applicable to Restricted Stock Units or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units or (ii) no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 5 of this Plan, will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

16. Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amounts in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other Person under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other Person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes or other amounts required to be withheld, which arrangements (in the discretion of the Committee) may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit. If a Participant's benefit is to be received in the form of shares of Common Stock, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income, employment, tax or other laws, the Participant may elect, if permitted by the Committee in its discretion, to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by having withheld, from the shares required to be delivered to the Participant, shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or by delivering to the Company other shares of Common Stock held by such Participant. The shares used for tax or other withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the market value of such shares of Common Stock on the date the benefit is to be included in Participant's income. In no event will the market value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld and delivered pursuant to this Section to satisfy applicable withholding taxes or other amounts in connection with the

A-15

Table of Contents

benefit exceed the minimum amount required to be withheld, unless (i) an additional amount can be withheld and not result in adverse accounting consequences and (ii) is permitted by the Committee. Participants will also make such arrangements as the Company may require for the payment of any withholding tax or other obligation that may arise in connection with the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of Option Rights.

17. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(a) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Participants. With respect to any award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, if the award includes a 'series of installment payments' (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the regulations promulgated under the Code by the United States Treasury Department, as amended), the Participant's right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment. This Plan and any grants made hereunder will be administered in a manner consistent with this intent. Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

(b) Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant's creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant's benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) If, at the time of a Participant's separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Participant will be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it, without interest, on or about the fifth business day of the seventh month after such separation from service.

(d) Solely with respect to any award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that is payable on account of a Change in Control (including any installments or stream of payments that are accelerated on account of a Change in Control), a Change in Control shall occur only if such event also constitutes a "change in the ownership," "change in effective control," and/or a "change in the ownership of a substantial portion of assets" of the Company as those terms are defined under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), but only to the extent necessary to establish a time and form of payment that complies with Section 409A of the Code, without altering the definition of Change in Control for any purpose in respect of such award.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Plan and grants hereunder as the

A-16

Table of Contents

Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant's account in connection with this Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

18. Amendments.

(a) The Board may at any time and from time to time amend this Plan in whole or in part; provided , however , that if an amendment to this Plan (i) would materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under this Plan, (ii) would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under this Plan, (iii) would materially modify the requirements for participation in this Plan, or (iv) must otherwise be approved by the Stockholders in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of Common Stock are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange upon which the shares of Common Stock are traded or quoted, then, such amendment will be subject to Stockholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained.

(b) Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in Section 11 of this Plan or in connection with a Change in Control, the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the Option Price of outstanding Option Rights or the Base Price of outstanding Appreciation Rights, or cancel outstanding "underwater" Option Rights or Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Option Rights or Appreciation Rights with an Option Price or Base Price, as applicable, that is less than the Option Price of the original Option Rights or Base Price of the original Appreciation Rights, as applicable, without Stockholder approval. This Section 18(b) is intended to prohibit the repricing of "underwater" Option Rights and Appreciation Rights and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 11 of this Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, this Section 18(b) may not be amended without approval by the Stockholders.

(c) If permitted by Section 409A of the Code and Section 162(m) of the Code, but subject to the paragraph that follows, and including in the case of termination of employment by reason of death, disability or retirement, or in the case of unforeseeable emergency or other special circumstances or in the event of a Change in Control, to the extent a Participant holds an Option Right or Appreciation Right not immediately exercisable in full, or any Restricted Stock as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, or any Restricted Stock Units as to which the Restriction Period has not been completed, or any Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units which have not been fully earned, or any other awards made pursuant to Section 9 subject to any vesting schedule or transfer restriction, or who holds shares of Common Stock subject to any transfer restriction imposed pursuant to Section 15(b) of this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which such Option Right, Appreciation Right or other award may be exercised or the time at which such substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction on transfer will lapse or the time when such Restriction Period will end or the time at which such Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned or the time when such transfer restriction will terminate or may waive any other limitation or requirement under any such award, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code.

A-17

Table of Contents

(d) Subject to Section 18(b) hereof, the Committee may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted under this Plan prospectively or retroactively, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the Participant's death or disability, or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. In such case, the Committee will not make any modification of the Management Objectives or the level or levels of achievement with respect to such Qualified Performance-Based Award. Subject to Section 11 above, no such amendment will impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate this Plan at any time. Termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants or their successors under any awards outstanding hereunder and not exercised in full on the date of termination.

19. Governing Law. This Plan and all grants and awards and actions taken hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware.

20. Effective Date/Termination. This Plan will be effective as of the Effective Date. However, no grants will be made under this Plan prior to the Pricing Date. No grant will be made under this Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but all grants made on or prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this Plan.

21. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) The Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement of fractions in cash.

(b) This Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such Participant's employment or other service at any time.

(c) Except with respect to Section 21(e) , to the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option from qualifying as such, that provision will be null and void with respect to such Option Right. Such provision, however, will remain in effect for other Option Rights and there will be no further effect on any provision of this Plan.

(d) No award under this Plan may be exercised by the holder thereof if such exercise, and the receipt of cash or stock thereunder, would be, in the opinion of counsel selected by the Company, contrary to law or the regulations of any duly constituted authority having jurisdiction over this Plan.

(e) Absence on leave approved by a duly constituted officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will not be considered interruption or termination of service of any employee for any purposes of this Plan or awards granted hereunder.

(f) No Participant will have any rights as a Stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted to him or her under this Plan prior to the date as of which he or she is actually recorded as the holder of such shares upon the stock records of the Company.

(g) The Committee may condition the grant of any award or combination of awards authorized under this Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by the Company or a Subsidiary to the Participant.

A-18

Table of Contents

(h) Except with respect to Option Rights and Appreciation Rights, the Committee may permit Participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures or programs as it may establish for purposes of this Plan and which are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Committee also may provide that deferred issuances and settlements include the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents or interest on the deferral amounts.

(i) If any provision of this Plan is or becomes invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify this Plan or any award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision will be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Committee, it will be stricken and the remainder of this Plan will remain in full force and effect.

22. Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Option Rights or Awards Granted by Other Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary:

(a) Awards may be granted under this Plan in substitution for or in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or other stock or stock-based awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary. Any conversion, substitution or assumption will be effective as of the close of the merger or acquisition, and, to the extent applicable, will be conducted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. The awards so granted may reflect the original terms of the awards being assumed or substituted or converted for and need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, and may account for shares of Common Stock substituted for the securities covered by the original awards and the number of shares subject to the original awards, as well as any exercise or purchase prices applicable to the original awards, adjusted to account for differences in stock prices in connection with the transaction.

(b) In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary merges has shares available under a pre-existing plan previously approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect such acquisition or merger) may be used for awards made after such acquisition or merger under the Plan; provided , however , that awards using such available shares may not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan absent the acquisition or merger, and may only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to such acquisition or merger.

(c) Any shares of Common Stock that are issued or transferred by, or that are subject to any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company under Sections 22(a) or 22(b) above will not reduce the shares of Common Stock available for issuance or transfer under the Plan or otherwise count against the limits contained in Section 3 of the Plan. In addition, no shares of Common Stock subject to an award that is granted by, or becomes an obligation, of the Company under Sections 22(a) or 22(b) above, will be added to the aggregate limit contained in Section 3(a)(i) in the following circumstances: (i) if such award is cancelled or forfeited, expires or is settled for cash (in whole or in part), (ii) if such shares of Common Stock are withheld by the Company, tendered or otherwise used in payment of the Option Price of an Option or to satisfy a tax withholding obligation with respect to any award or (iii) if such shares of Common Stock are not actually issued in connection with the settlement of an Appreciation Right on the exercise thereof.
