Dear Stockholders:

We are delivering this Notice and the accompanying information statement to inform our stockholders that, on January 31, 2017, the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting securities of SG Blocks, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a resolution by written consent, in lieu of a meeting of stockholders, to approve the SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which is an incentive compensation plan for non-employee directors and officers, employees, and consultants of the Company and our subsidiaries.

The Incentive Plan was approved by stockholder written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the relevant sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The Incentive Plan was approved and recommended by our Board of Directors prior to the stockholder action by written consent described in this Information Statement.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

No action is required by you. The accompanying information statement (“Information Statement”) is furnished only to inform our stockholders of the actions described above before they take effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

INFORMATION STATEMENT REGARDING ACTION TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF MAJORITY OF STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY,

AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

GENERAL

In this Information Statement, unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” and similar expressions refer to SG Blocks, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the written consent of the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities (the “Consenting Stockholders”) approving the SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which is an incentive compensation plan for non-employee directors and officers, employees, and consultants of the Company and our subsidiaries.

On January 30, 2017, our Board of Directors approved and adopted the Incentive Plan. In addition, on January 31, the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities executed a written consent approving the Incentive Plan. A copy of the Incentive Plan is attached as Appendix A to this Information Statement.

The elimination of the need for a special meeting of stockholders to approve this action is made possible by Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. Utilizing the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of our voting securities eliminates the costs involved in holding a special meeting of stockholders.

Pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting of stockholders to all stockholders who did not participate in the written consent in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as this notice. This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about February 8, 2017 to stockholders of record as of February 8, 2017, and is being delivered to inform you of the corporate action described herein before it takes effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by us. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other agents for the cost of forwarding copies of this Information Statement to beneficial owners.

THE SG BLOCKS, INC. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Background

The Board approved the Incentive Plan on January 30, 2017. The Incentive Plan is an amendment and restatement of the SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Option Plan, adopted by the Board on October 26, 2016. The Incentive Plan, among other things, increases the number of shares reserved for issuance and authorizes other types of awards thereunder. Under the Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to grant equity-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, other share-based awards, and cash-based awards to non-employee directors and to officers, employees, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, except that incentive stock options may only be granted to our employees and employees of our subsidiaries.

The Board submitted the Incentive Plan to the Consenting Stockholders for their approval, which approval includes the annual limit on director compensation, as described below. Such approval also allows options granted under the Incentive Plan to qualify for treatment as incentive stock options and awards under the Incentive Plan to constitute performance-based compensation not subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The following summary describes the material terms of the Incentive Plan. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Incentive Plan, which is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.

SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan

Purpose

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and create value for our stockholders. The Plan is intended to attract and retain directors, consultants, and officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to provide to such persons incentives and rewards for superior performance.

Types of Awards

The Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of awards in the form of stock options (which may be either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted share units, other share-based awards, and cash-based awards.

Administration

The Incentive Plan will be administered by our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) or by such other committee or subcommittee as may be appointed by our Board of Directors, and, to the extent required by applicable law or stock exchange listing standards, will consist entirely of two or more individuals who are “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and “independent directors” within the meaning of the applicable rules of any securities exchange on which the shares are listed. The Compensation Committee can make rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of the Incentive Plan as it deems appropriate and may delegate any of its authority to one or more directors or executive officers of the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. However, our Board of Directors reserves the authority to administer and issue awards under the Incentive Plan.

Eligibility

The Incentive Plan provides for awards to our non-employee directors and to officers, employees, and consultants of the Company and our subsidiaries, except that incentive stock options may only be granted to our employees and employees of our subsidiaries.

Shares Available

The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or transferred with respect to awards under the Incentive Plan is 1.5 million shares (all of which may be granted as incentive stock options), on a post-reverse stock split basis, subject to adjustment as provided below. Shares issued under the Incentive Plan may include authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, shares purchased in the open market, or a combination of the foregoing.

Shares underlying awards that are settled in cash or that terminate or are forfeited, cancelled, or surrendered without the issuance of shares or the release of a substantial risk of forfeiture will again be available for issuance under the Incentive Plan, as will shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of a stock option, shares withheld to satisfy a tax withholding obligation with respect to any award, and shares that are repurchased by the Company with stock option proceeds. Shares granted through awards that are granted in assumption of, or in substitution or exchange for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired directly or indirectly by the Company or with which the Company directly or indirectly combines will not count against the share limit above, except as may be required by the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or trading market.

Non-Employee Director Award Limit

The Incentive Plan provides that the aggregate grant date fair value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all awards granted to any non-employee director under the Incentive Plan during any single calendar year, taken together with any cash fees paid to that person during the calendar year, may not exceed $150,000.

Individual Award Limits under Section 162(m)

The Compensation Committee may, but is not required to, grant awards under the Incentive Plan that are intended to qualify for the “performance-based compensation” exemption from limitations on our tax deduction of certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Incentive Plan imposes the following additional individual sub-limits on awards granted under the Incentive Plan that are intended to satisfy that exemption:

Stock Options

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Incentive Plan, options to purchase shares may be granted to eligible individuals at any time and from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee. Options may be granted as incentive stock options (all of the shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options) or as non-qualified stock options. Subject to the limits provided in the Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee or its delegate determines the number of options granted to each recipient. Each option grant will be evidenced by a stock option agreement that specifies whether the options are intended to be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options and such additional limitations, terms, and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

The exercise price for each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.

All options granted under the Incentive Plan will expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. The method of exercising an option granted under the Incentive Plan will be set forth in the stock option agreement for that particular option and may include payment of cash or cash equivalent, tender of previously acquired shares with a fair market value equal to the exercise price, a cashless exercise (including withholding of shares otherwise deliverable on exercise or a broker-assisted arrangement as permitted by applicable laws), a combination of the foregoing methods, or any other method approved by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Compensation Committee in its discretion may grant SARs under the Incentive Plan. A SAR entitles the holder to receive from the Company, upon exercise, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate fair market value of a specified number of shares that are the subject of such SAR, over the aggregate exercise price for the underlying shares.

The exercise price for each SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.

We may make payment of the amount to which the participant exercising SARs is entitled by delivering shares, cash, or a combination of stock and cash as set forth in the applicable award agreement. Each SAR will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the date and terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Restricted Shares

Under the Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant or sell to plan participants shares that are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transferability. Except for these restrictions and any others imposed by the Compensation Committee, upon the grant of restricted shares, the recipient will have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted shares, including the right to vote the restricted shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the restricted shares. During the applicable restriction period, the recipient may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, or otherwise encumber the restricted shares. Each restricted shares award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms, and conditions, which may include restrictions based upon the achievement of performance objectives, as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Restricted Share Units

Under the Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant or sell to plan participants restricted share units, which constitute an agreement to deliver shares to the participant in the future at the end of a restriction period and subject to such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may specify. Restricted share units are not shares and do not entitle the recipients to the rights of a stockholder. Restricted share units granted under the Incentive Plan may or may not be subject to performance conditions. Restricted share units will be settled in cash or shares, in an amount based on the fair market value of a share on the settlement date. Each restricted share unit award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms, and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine, which may include restrictions based upon the achievement of performance objectives.

Other Share-Based Awards

The Incentive Plan also provides for grants of other share-based awards under the Incentive Plan, which may include unrestricted shares or time-based or performance-based unit awards that are settled in shares or cash. Each other share-based award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms, and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Dividend Equivalents

Awards may provide the participant with dividend equivalents, on any of a current, deferred, or contingent basis, and either in cash or in additional shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the related award agreement. However, no dividend equivalents shall be granted with respect to shares underlying a stock option or SAR.

Performance Objectives

The plan provides that performance objectives may be established by the Compensation Committee in connection with any award granted under the Incentive Plan. Performance objectives may relate to performance of the Company or one or more of our subsidiaries, divisions, departments, units, functions, partnerships, joint ventures, or minority investments, product lines or products, or the performance of an individual participant, and performance objectives may be made relative to the performance of a group of companies or a special index of companies.

The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, grant awards under the Incentive Plan that are intended to qualify for the “performance-based compensation” exemption from Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the case of an award intended to qualify for that exemption, such goals shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or more of the following measures: revenues, weighted average revenue per unit, earnings from operations, operating income, earnings before or after interest and taxes, operating income before or after interest and taxes, net income, cash flow, earnings per share, debt to capital ratio, increase in market capitalization, economic value added, return on total capital, return on invested capital, return on equity, return on assets, total return to stockholders, earnings before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, or extraordinary or special items, operating income before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, or extraordinary or special items, return on investment, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment (discounted or otherwise), net cash provided by operations, cash flow in excess of cost of capital, operating margin, profit margin, contribution margin, stock price, and/or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified product development, strategic partnering, research and development, market penetration, geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, customer satisfaction, gross or net additional customers, average customer life, employee satisfaction, management of employment practices and employee benefits, supervision of litigation and information technology, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures of subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint ventures.

Performance objectives related to an award intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code will be set by the Compensation Committee within the time period and will be subject to other requirements prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Change in Control

In the event of a change in control of the Company, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may take such actions, if any, as it deems necessary or desirable with respect to any outstanding award, without the consent of any affected participant. Those actions may include, without limitation: (a) acceleration of the vesting, settlement, and/or exercisability of an award; (b) payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation of an award; (c) cancellation of stock options or SARs without any payment if the fair market value per share on the date of the change in control does not exceed the exercise price per share of the applicable award; or (d) issuance of substitute awards that substantially preserve the value, rights, and benefits of any affected awards.

For purposes of the Incentive Plan, a change in control generally means (except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement): (a) the acquisition of effective control of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company (other than by means of conversion or exercise of convertible debt or equity securities of the Company); (b) the Company merges into or consolidates with any other person, or any person merges into or consolidates with the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the successor entity of such transaction; or (c) the Company sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the acquiring entity immediately after the transaction.

Forfeiture of Awards

Awards granted under the Incentive Plan also may be subject to forfeiture or repayment to us as provided pursuant to any compensation recovery policy that we may adopt.

Adjustments

In the event of any equity restructuring, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin off, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Compensation Committee will adjust the number and kind of shares that may be delivered under the Incentive Plan, the individual award limits and, with respect to outstanding awards, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards and the exercise price or other price of shares subject to outstanding awards, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, such as a merger, consolidation, or liquidation, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, make such equitable adjustment as described in the foregoing sentence to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. However, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the Company will always round down to a whole number of shares subject to any award. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards such alternative consideration (including cash) as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced.

Transferability

Except as the Compensation Committee otherwise determines, awards granted under the Incentive Plan will not be transferable by a participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, stock options and SARs will be exercisable during a participant’s lifetime only by him or her or, in the event of the participant’s incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal representative. Any award made under the Incentive Plan may provide that any shares issued as a result of the award will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

Term of Plan and Amendment

Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the Incentive Plan will expire on October 25, 2026, and no further awards may be made under the Incentive Plan after that date. However, any awards granted under the Incentive Plan prior to its termination will remain outstanding thereafter in accordance with their terms.

Our Board of Directors may amend, alter, or discontinue the Incentive Plan at any time, with stockholder approval to the extent required by applicable law (including applicable stock exchange rules). No such amendment or termination, however, may adversely affect in any material way any holder of outstanding awards without his or her consent, except for amendments made to cause the plan to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules, or accounting rules, and no award may be amended or otherwise subject to any action that would be treated as a “repricing” of such award, unless such action is approved by our stockholders.

Registration with the SEC

We intend to file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the issuance of securities under the Incentive Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as soon as practicable after approval of the Incentive Plan by the Consenting Stockholders.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Following is a brief summary of each core element of the compensation program for our named executive officers.

Base Salary

We provide competitive base salaries that are intended to attract and retain key executive talent. Base salary levels depend on the executive’s position, responsibilities, experience, market factors, recruitment and retention factors, internal equity factors, and our overall compensation philosophy. In 2014, the Board approved and set an annual base salary for Messrs. Galvin and Armstrong at $216,333 and $102,167, respectively, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. In 2015, the Board set an annual base salary for Messrs. Galvin, Armstrong, and Shetty at $155,000, $114,167, and $97,500, respectively, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Stock Options

We generally offer stock options to our key employees, including our named executive officers, as the long-term incentive component of our compensation program. Our stock options generally allow key employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined by our Board of Directors, and may be intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under the Internal Revenue Code.

No stock options were granted during the year ending December 31, 2015. On November 1, 2016, our Board of Directors granted Messrs. Galvin, Armstrong, and Shetty options to purchase 98,273, 43,677, and 21,839 shares of our post-reverse stock split common stock, respectively. With respect to Mr. Galvin, these options vested as to 43,676 of the shares on the grant date, and the remainder will vest as to 18,199 shares on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date. With respect to Mr. Armstrong, these options vested as to 21,839 of the shares on the grant date, with the remainder to vest as to 10,919 shares on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. With respect to Mr. Shetty’s option grant, 10,919 of the options vested on the grant date and the remaining 10,920 options will vest on the filing date of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

On November 1, 2016, our Board of Directors granted Messrs. Galvin and Shetty options to purchase 13,334 shares of the Company’s common stock as part of their compensation for serving on the Board of Directors. These options vest and become exercisable in equal quarterly installments of 3,334 shares on the last day of each fiscal quarter following the grant date until such options are 100% vested.

On November 1, 2016, SGB also granted each of Mssrs. McAvoy, Kaufman, and Melton options to purchase 16,667 shares of common stock in connection with their service on the Board of Directors. Each of these options vests and becomes exercisable in equal quarterly installments of 4,167 shares on the last day of each fiscal quarter following the grant date until such options are 100% vested. Messrs. Kaufman and McAvoy subsequently assigned 33,334 of such options to Hillair Capital Investments, L.P. (“HCI”) in December 2016.

On January 30, 2017, the Board granted 186,309 shares of common stock to certain key employees, which options vest in equal quarterly installments over a period of two years after the grant date. In addition, the Board granted these individuals options to purchase, in the aggregate, 61,034 shares of common stock in connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy in 2016, which options vested in full on the grant date. The grant of such options is contingent upon the passing of twenty calendar days after the date this Information Statement on Schedule 14C, with respect to stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan, is furnished to the Company’s stockholders.

The stock options vest on an accelerated basis in the event of (i) death or disability or (ii) a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason, in either case within two years after a change in control.

In accordance with the Plan, all stock options granted prior to June 30, 2016 were cancelled.

Employment Agreements

The employment agreements with Messrs. Galvin and Armstrong have expired, and the Company is currently negotiating a new agreement with Messrs. Galvin, Armstrong, and Shetty. Such agreements contemplate, in addition to annual base salary, that each executive officer will be eligible to receive a discretionary cash bonus and certain option awards based on the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and in connection with each executive’s employment. Messrs. Galvin, Armstrong, and Shetty will also be entitled to severance if the Company terminates their employment during the term for any reason other than cause (as defined therein), death, or disability.

Shetty Consulting Agreement

On March 2016, we entered into a consulting agreement (the “Shetty Agreement”) with Mr. Shetty and RSM, which provides for certain consulting services to be provided by RSM and for Mr. Shetty to serve as our Chief Financial Officer from July 27, 2016, unless the Shetty Agreement is terminated for “cause” (as defined in the Shetty Agreement). The Shetty Agreement provides that Mr. Shetty will be paid $10,000 per month and receive options to purchase 21,839 shares of Company common stock at fair market value on the grant date ($3.00), one-half of which vested on the grant date, and the remaining one-half of which will vest on the filing date of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Retirement, Health, Welfare, and Additional Benefits

Messrs. Galvin and Armstrong are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans and programs, including medical benefits, flexible spending accounts, short- and long-term disability, and life insurance, to the same extent as our other full-time employees, subject to the terms and eligibility requirements of those plans. Messrs. Galvin and Armstrong are also eligible to participate in a tax-qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan to the same extent as our other full-time employees. Currently, we do not match contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan or make other contributions to participant accounts.

We also reimburse the directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with their activities on the Company’s behalf.

Risk Oversight

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk management oversight role, the Board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. As a critical part of this risk management oversight role, the Board encourages full and open communication between management and the Board. The Company’s Chairman and CEO meets periodically with the President and other members of management to discuss strategy and risks facing the Company. Senior management attends Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management-related and other matters. The Board periodically receives presentations and reports from senior management on strategic matters involving the Company’s operations to enable it to understand the Company’s risk identification, management, and mitigation strategies.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in areas of financial risk, internal controls, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in overseeing risk management in the areas of compensation policies and programs.

To the extent that any action of the Board under the Plan conflicts with any action taken by the Committee, the action of the Board shall control.

Such terms and conditions shall be established in writing while the outcome of the applicable performance period is substantially uncertain, but in no event later than the earlier of: (x) ninety days after the beginning of the applicable performance period; or (y) the expiration of twenty-five percent (25%) of the applicable performance period.

d.       Certification of Performance. With respect to any Award intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Objectives and other material terms imposed on such Award have been satisfied, and, if they have, ascertain the amount of the payout or vesting of the Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, payment or vesting of any such Award shall not be made until the Committee certifies in writing that the applicable Performance Objectives and any other material terms of such Award were in fact satisfied in a manner conforming to applicable regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code.

e.       Negative Discretion. With respect to any Award intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, after the date that the Performance Objectives are required to be established in writing pursuant to Section 13(c), the Committee shall not have discretion to increase the amount of compensation that is payable upon achievement of the designated Performance Objectives. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of compensation that is payable upon achievement of the designated Performance Objectives.

14.       Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no Award or dividend equivalents paid with respect to any Award shall be transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, that if so determined by the Committee, each Participant may, in a manner established by the Board or the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant and to receive Shares or other property issued or delivered under such Award. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will be exercisable during a Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s legal incapacity to do so, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Participant in a fiduciary capacity under state law and/or court supervision.

15.       Adjustments. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto), such as a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Committee shall cause there to be an equitable adjustment in the number and kind of Shares specified in Sections 3(a) and 3(c) of the Plan and, with respect to outstanding Awards, in the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price or other price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, in each case to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, or in the event of a merger, consolidation, liquidation, or similar transaction, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause there to be an equitable adjustment as described in the foregoing sentence, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be rounded down to a whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 15 that would (i) cause any Stock Option intended to qualify as an ISO to fail to so qualify, (ii) cause an Award that is otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code to become subject to Section 409A, or (iii) cause an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on all Participants and any other persons claiming under or through any Participant.

16.       Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any fractional Shares pursuant to the Plan and, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, fractional Shares shall be settled in cash.

17.       Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by Applicable Law, a Participant shall be required to satisfy, in a manner satisfactory to the Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the vesting of or settlement of Shares under an Award, an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code or otherwise with respect to an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to issue or deliver Shares, make any payment or recognize the transfer or disposition of Shares until such obligations are satisfied. The Committee may permit or require these obligations to be satisfied by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued or delivered to a Participant upon exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the vesting or settlement of an Award, or by tendering Shares previously acquired, in each case having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld or paid, or such other amount as will not result in an adverse accounting consequence to the Company. Any such elections are subject to such conditions or procedures as may be established by the Committee and may be subject to disapproval by the Committee.

18.       Foreign Employees. Without amending the Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who are subject to Applicable Law of one or more non-United States jurisdictions, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may approve such sub-plans, supplements to or amendments, modifications, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of Applicable Law of other countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate or have employees.

19.       Compensation Recovery Policy.

a.       Compensation Recovery Policy. Any Award granted to a Participant shall be subject to forfeiture or repayment pursuant to the terms of any applicable compensation recovery policy adopted by the Company, including any such policy that may be adopted to comply with Applicable Law.

b.       Set-Off and Other Remedies. To the extent that amounts are not immediately returned or paid to the Company as provided in this Section 19, the Company may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, seek other remedies, including a set off of the amounts so payable to it against any amounts that may be owing from time to time by the Company or a Subsidiary to the Participant for any reason, including, without limitation, wages, or vacation pay or other benefits; provided, however, that, except to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4), such offset shall not apply to amounts that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

20.       Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may take such actions, if any, as it deems necessary or desirable with respect to any Award that is outstanding as of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control. Such actions may include, without limitation, and without the consent of any affected Participant: (a) the acceleration of the vesting, settlement and/or exercisability of an Award; (b) the payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation of an Award; (c) the cancellation of Stock Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights without payment therefor if the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the Change in Control does not exceed the exercise price per Share of the applicable Awards; and/or (d) the issuance of substitute Awards that substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected Awards.

21.       Amendment, Modification and Termination.

a.       In General. The Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that no alteration or amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to comply with any rule promulgated by the SEC or any securities exchange on which Shares are listed or any other Applicable Law shall be effective unless such amendment shall be approved by the requisite vote of stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon within the time period required under such applicable listing standard or rule.

b.       Adjustments to Outstanding Awards. The Committee may in its sole discretion at any time (i) provide that all or a portion of a Participant’s Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully or partially exercisable; (ii) provide that all or a part of the time-based vesting restrictions on all or a portion of the outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or that any Performance Objectives or other performance-based criteria with respect to any Awards shall be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied; or (iii) waive any other limitation or requirement under any such Award, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any such adjustment that is made with respect to an Award that is intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall be made at such times and in such manner as will not cause such Awards to fail to qualify under the Performance-Based Exception. Additionally, the Committee shall not make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 21(b) that would cause an Award that is otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code to become subject to Section 409A, or that would cause an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

c.       Prohibition on Repricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Sections 16 or 21, the Board or the Committee will not, without the further approval of the stockholders of the Company, authorize the amendment of any outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce the exercise price. No Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be cancelled and replaced with an Award having a lower exercise price, or for another Award, or for cash without further approval of the stockholders of the Company, except as provided in Sections 15 or 20. Furthermore, no Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will provide for the payment, at the time of exercise, of a cash bonus or grant or sale of another Award without further approval of the stockholders of the Company. This Section 21(c) is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without stockholder approval and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Sections 15 or 20.

d.       Effect on Outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (other than Sections 15, 20, 21(b) and 23(d)), no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award; provided that the Committee may modify an ISO held by a Participant to disqualify such Stock Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code without the Participant’s consent.

22.       Applicable Law. The obligations of the Company with respect to Awards under the Plan shall be subject to Applicable Law and such approvals by any governmental agencies as the Committee determines may be required. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

23.       Miscellaneous.

a.       Conditions on Delivery of Shares. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of Applicable Law. Unless and until the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each certificate evidencing any Shares delivered pursuant to the Plan shall bear a restrictive legend specified by the Company.

b.       No Right of Continued Employment or Service. The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall 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. No Employee, Director or Consultant shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive future Awards. Awards granted under the Plan shall not be considered a part of any Participant’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.

c.       Unfunded, Unsecured Plan. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan, acquire any right or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, including without limitation, any specific funds, assets or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary may set aside in anticipation of any liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to an Award or the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

d.       Severability. If any provision of the Plan is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to Applicable Law or, in the discretion of the Committee, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

e.       Acceptance of the Plan. By accepting any benefit under the Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through any such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated their acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any action taken under the Plan by the Committee, the Board or the Company, in any case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

f.        Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan and with respect to Awards shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or other event, or a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company and references to the “Company” herein and in any Award Agreements shall be deemed to refer to such successors.
