STOCKHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Board and executive management are committed to engaging with our stockholders. Throughout the year, executive management proactively and periodically meets with current and prospective stockholders to discuss our strategic priorities, operational performance, and financial results. Also, through these discussions or separate outreach efforts, we seek to engage our top stockholders to solicit feedback on corporate governance, our compensation program, and related matters. In 2019, we conducted such outreach to our top stockholders representing a majority of our outstanding shares; these stockholders did not express concerns over our corporate governance practices or compensation program design.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We Pay for Performance. Our philosophy is designed to:

attract, motivate and retain highly-qualified executive officers critical to our long-term success;

align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders;

reward executive officers for achievingpre-defined rigorous financial goals and strategic objectives that may not yield current-period financial results but are expected to position us for enhanced results in future periods;

encourage strategic long-term development and profitable investment in the business;

motivate and reward appropriate risk-taking to grow the business; and

support pay practices with strong corporate governance and independent Board oversight.

We aligned annual incentives to strong financial results. The Company’s underlyingpay-for-performance approach is intended to reward management appropriately for results relative to targeted performance through use of a weighted combination of three performance metrics: revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and FCF.

We assessed and rewarded our most significant strategic accomplishments. 25% of annual incentive awards for our executive officers is tied to performance on pre-determined strategic objectives as well as specific goals tied to employee satisfaction and information security across our three strategic areas of focus: growth and innovation, operational excellence, and high performing organization.

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOMINEES

GeneralOur Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") require that directors be elected annually, and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board shall consist of such number of directors, as is determined from time to time, exclusively by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Board, our Board consists of 11 directors.12 directors, each of whom, other than Frank D. Martell, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is “independent” pursuant to the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the categorical independence standards contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Investor Relations section of our website under “Leadership & Governance — Highlights” at www.corelogic.com.

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated the 1112 individuals set forth under "—Nominees"Nominees below for election at the Annual Meeting, to serve until the 20192021 annual meeting of stockholders and until the directors'their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

The majority voting standard does not apply, however, in a contested election, where the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected. In a contested election, directors are instead elected by a plurality of shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors (meaning that the number of director nominees who receive the highest number of shares voted "for"“for” their election are elected). The election of directors at the Annual Meeting will not be contested and each director nominee must receive a majority of votes cast in order to be elected to the Board.contested.

PROPOSAL 2. Approval of the CoreLogic, Inc. 2018 Performance Incentive Plan

PROPOSAL 2 –ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

FOR
​  

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERSA VOTE "FOR" “FOR”

THE CORELOGIC, INC. 2018 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY YOU IN THE PROXY YOU SUBMIT, THE PROXIES SOLICITED BY OUR BOARD WILL BE VOTED "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.


​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 

General

At the annual meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the CoreLogic, Inc. 2018 Performance Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"), which was adopted, subject to stockholder approval, by the Board on March 7, 2018.

The Company believes that incentive and stock-based awards focus employees on the objectives of creating stockholder value and promoting the success of the Company, and that incentive compensation plans like the proposed 2018 Plan are an important tool to attract, retain and motivate Company employees.

The Company currently maintains the CoreLogic, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Performance Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan"). As of March 9, 2018, a total of 2,954,255 shares of the Company's common stock were then subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2011 Plan, and an additional 8,213,668 shares of the Company's common stock were then available for new award grants under the 2011 Plan (which would permit the Company to grant a total of approximately 4,106,834 full-value awards under the 2 to 1 fungible share counting ratio currently contained in the 2011 Plan). Of the 2,954,255 shares subject to outstanding awards, 489,503 were subject to stock options, 1,324,076 were subject to restricted stock units (other than performance-based stock units such as PBRSUs) and 1,140,676 were subject to performance-based stock units (such as PBRSUs). The number of shares subject to outstanding awards and the number of shares available for new awards reported above both assume that the 1,140,676 outstanding performance-based stock units are paid out at the maximum performance level. If any of the 1,140,676 outstanding performance-based stock units are paid out below the maximum level (or fail to become payable at all) based on actual performance, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards would decrease and the number of shares available for new awards would increase by the same amount. Except as specifically noted, all of the share numbers reported in this paragraph are actual share amounts, and do not give effect to the 2 to 1 fungible share counting ratio currently contained in the 2011 Plan.

The Board of Directors believes that the number of shares currently available under the 2011 Plan does not give the Company sufficient authority and flexibility to adequately provide for future incentives. If stockholders approve the 2018 Plan, no new awards will be granted under the 2011 Plan after the Annual Meeting. In that case, the number of shares of the Company's common stock that remain available for award grants under the 2011 Plan immediately prior to the Annual Meeting will become available for award grants under the 2018 Plan. An additional 3,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock will also be made available for award grants under the 2018 Plan. In addition, if stockholders approve the 2018 Plan,


Table of Contents

any shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan or our legacy 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2006 Plan") that expire, are cancelled, or otherwise terminate after the Annual Meeting will also be available for award grant purposes under the 2018 Plan. Based solely on the closing price of the Company's common stock as reported by the NYSE on March 9, 2018, the maximum aggregate market value of the additional 3,300,000 new shares of common stock that could be issued under the 2018 Plan is approximately $154 million.

If stockholders do not approve the 2018 Plan, the Company will continue to have the authority to grant awards under the 2011 Plan. If stockholders approve the 2018 Plan, the termination of our grant authority under the 2011 Plan will not affect awards then outstanding under 2011 Plan.

Summary Description of the 2018 Performance Incentive Plan

The principal terms of the 2018 Plan are summarized below. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2018 Plan, which appears asAppendix B to this proxy statement.

Purpose.    The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing an additional means for us to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons through the grant of awards. Equity-based awards are also intended to further align the interests of award recipients and our stockholders.

Administration.    Our Board of Directors or one or more committees appointed by our Board of Directors will administer the 2018 Plan. Our Board of Directors has delegated or will delegate general administrative authority for the 2018 Plan to the Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors or a committee thereof (within its delegated authority) may delegate different levels of authority to different committees or persons with administrative and grant authority under the 2018 Plan. (The appropriate acting body, be it the Board of Directors or a committee or other person within its delegated authority is referred to in this proposal as the "Administrator").

The Administrator has broad authority under the 2018 Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to:


Table of Contents

No Repricing.    In no case (except due to an adjustment to reflect a stock split or other event referred to under "Adjustments" below, or any repricing that may be approved by stockholders) will the Administrator (1) amend an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right to reduce the exercise price or base price of the award, (2) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the award, or (3) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right in exchange for an option or stock appreciation right with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise or base price of the original award.

Eligibility.    Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2018 Plan include officers and employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directors of the Company, and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Currently, approximately 5,967 officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (including all of the Company's named executive officers who remain employed), and each of the ten members of the Board who are not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries ("non-management directors"), are considered eligible under the 2018 Plan.

Aggregate Share Limit.    The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2018 Plan equals the sum of the following (such total number of shares, the "Share Limit"):

As of March 9, 2018, approximately 8,213,668 shares were available for additional award grant purposes under the 2011 Plan, approximately 489,503 shares were subject to stock options then outstanding under the 2011 Plan, approximately 107,050 shares were subject to stock options then outstanding under the


Table of Contents

2006 Plan, approximately 1,324,076 shares were subject to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (other than performance-based stock units such as PBRSUs) then outstanding under the 2011 Plan, approximately 1,140,676 shares were subject to performance-based stock units, such as PBRSUs then outstanding under the 2011 Plan, and no shares were subject to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards then outstanding under the 2006 Plan. The number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan and the number of shares available for new awards reported above both assume that the 1,140,676 outstanding performance-based stock units are paid out at the maximum performance level. If any of the 1,140,676 outstanding performance-based stock units are paid out below the maximum level (or fail to become payable at all) based on actual performance, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan would decrease and the number of shares available for new awards under the 2011 Plan would increase by the same amount. As noted above, no additional awards will be granted under the 2011 Plan if stockholders approve the 2018 Plan.

Shares issued in respect of any "full-value award" granted under the 2018 Plan will be counted against the Share Limit as two shares for every one share actually issued in connection with the award. For example, if the Company granted a bonus of 100 shares of its common stock under the 2018 Plan, 200 shares would be counted against the Share Limit with respect to that award. For this purpose, a "full-value award" generally means any award granted under the 2018 Plan other than a stock option or stock appreciation right.

Additional Share Limits.    The following other limits are also contained in the 2018 Plan. These limits are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Share Limit for the plan described above and, in the case of share-based limits, are applied on a one-for-one basis without applying the premium share-counting ratio for full-value awards discussed above.

Share-Limit Counting Rules.    The Share Limit of the 2018 Plan is subject to the following rules:


Table of Contents

In addition, the 2018 Plan generally provides that shares issued in connection with awards that are granted by or become obligations of the Company through the assumption of awards (or in substitution for awards) in connection with an acquisition of another company will not count against the shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. The Company may not increase the applicable share limits of the 2018 Plan by repurchasing shares of common stock on the market (by using cash received through the exercise of stock options or otherwise).

Types of Awards.    The 2018 Plan authorizes stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company's common stock or units of the Company's common stock, as well as cash bonus awards. The 2018 Plan retains flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be structured to be paid or settled in cash.

A stock option is the right to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a future date at a specified price per share (the "exercise price"). The per share exercise price of an option generally may not


Table of Contents

be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of an option is ten years from the date of grant. An option may either be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option. Incentive stock option benefits are taxed differently from nonqualified stock options, as described under "Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards Under the 2018 Plan" below. Incentive stock options are also subject to more restrictive terms and are limited in amount by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and the 2018 Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company or a subsidiary.

A stock appreciation right is the right to receive payment of an amount in cash or shares of common stock equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right over the base price of the stock appreciation right. The base price will be established by the Administrator at the time of grant of the stock appreciation right and generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in connection with other awards or independently. The maximum term of a stock appreciation right is ten years from the date of grant.

The other types of awards that may be granted under the 2018 Plan include, without limitation, stock bonuses, restricted stock, performance stock, stock units or phantom stock (which are contractual rights to receive shares of stock, or cash based on the fair market value of a share of stock), dividend equivalents which represent the right to receive a payment based on the dividends paid on a share of stock over a stated period of time, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, and cash awards. The types of cash awards that may be granted include the opportunity to receive a payment for the achievement of one or more goals as well as discretionary cash awards.

Any awards under the 2018 Plan (including awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights) may be fully-vested at grant or may be subject to time- and/or performance-based vesting requirements.

Dividend Equivalents; Deferrals.    The Administrator may provide for the deferred payment of awards, and may determine the other terms applicable to deferrals. The Administrator may provide that awards granted under the 2018 Plan (other than options or stock appreciation rights), and/or deferrals, earn dividends or dividend equivalents based on the amount of dividends paid on outstanding shares of common stock, provided that as to any dividend equivalent rights granted in connection with an award granted under the 2018 Plan that is subject to performance-based vesting requirements, no dividend equivalent payment will be made unless the related performance-based vesting conditions of the award are satisfied (or, in the case of a restricted stock or similar award where the dividend must be paid as a matter of law, the dividend payment will be subject to forfeiture or repayment, as the case may be, if the related performance-based vesting conditions are not satisfied).

Assumption and Termination of Awards.    If an event occurs in which the Company does not survive (or does not survive as a public company in respect of its common stock), including, without limitation, a dissolution, merger, combination, consolidation, conversion, exchange of securities, or other reorganization, or a sale of all or substantially all of the business, stock or assets of the Company, awards then-outstanding under the 2018 Plan will not automatically become fully vested pursuant to the provisions of the 2018 Plan so long as such awards are assumed, substituted for or otherwise continued. However, if awards then-outstanding under the 2018 Plan are to be terminated in such circumstances (without being assumed or substituted for), such awards would generally become fully vested, subject to any exceptions that the Administrator may provide for in an applicable award agreement, and any award or portion thereof that, by its terms, does not accelerate and vest in the circumstances, will also terminate. The Administrator also has the discretion to establish other change in control provisions with respect to awards granted under the 2018 Plan. For example, the Administrator could provide for the acceleration of vesting or payment of an award in connection with a corporate event or in connection with a termination of the award holder's employment. For the treatment of outstanding equity awards held by the named executive officers in


Table of Contents

connection with a termination of employment and/or a change in control of the Company, please see the "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" section below.

Transfer Restrictions.    Subject to certain exceptions contained in Section 5.6 of the 2018 Plan, awards under the 2018 Plan generally are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are generally exercisable, during the recipient's lifetime, only by the recipient. Any amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an award generally will be paid only to the recipient or the recipient's beneficiary or representative. The Administrator has discretion, however, to establish written conditions and procedures for the transfer of awards to other persons or entities, provided that such transfers comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and are not made for value (other than nominal consideration, settlement of marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of the voting securities are held by the award recipient or by the recipient's family members).

Adjustments.    As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, the Share Limit and the number and kind of shares available under the 2018 Plan and any outstanding awards, as well as the exercise or purchase prices of awards, are subject to adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar events that change the number or kind of shares outstanding, and extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to the stockholders.

No Limit on Other Authority.    Except as expressly provided with respect to the termination of the authority to grant new awards under the 2011 Plan if stockholders approve the 2018 Plan, the 2018 Plan does not limit the authority of the Board of Directors or any committee appointed by the Board to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Company's common stock, under any other plan or authority.

Termination of or Changes to the 2018 Plan.    The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2018 Plan at any time and in any manner. Stockholder approval for an amendment will be required only to the extent then required by applicable law or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board of Directors. Unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors and subject to any extension that may be approved by stockholders, the authority to grant new awards under the 2018 Plan will terminate on March 6, 2028. Outstanding awards, as well as the Administrator's authority with respect thereto, generally will continue following the expiration or termination of the 2018 Plan. Generally, outstanding awards may be amended by the Administrator (except for a repricing), but the consent of the award holder is required if the amendment (or any plan amendment) materially and adversely affects the holder.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards under the 2018 Plan

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the 2018 Plan under current federal law, which is subject to change, are summarized in the following discussion of the general tax principles applicable to the 2018 Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other considerations, does not describe the deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent an award is subject to and does not satisfy those rules, nor does it describe state, local, or international tax consequences.

With respect to nonqualified stock options, the Company is generally entitled to deduct and the participant recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. With respect to incentive stock options, the Company is generally not entitled to a deduction nor does the participant recognize income at the time of exercise, although the participant may be subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax.

The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2018 Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid (if any) only


Table of Contents

at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); bonuses, stock appreciation rights, cash and stock-based performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock units, and other types of awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment; and compensation otherwise effectively deferred is taxed when paid. In each of the foregoing cases, the Company will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income.

If an award is accelerated under the 2018 Plan in connection with a "change in control" (as this term is used under the Code), the Company may not be permitted to deduct the portion of the compensation attributable to the acceleration ("parachute payments") if it exceeds certain threshold limits under the Code (and certain related excise taxes may be triggered). Furthermore, the aggregate compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid in any calendar year to the Company's current or former named executive officers will not be permitted to be deducted by the Company unless certain grandfathering exceptions apply.

Specific Benefits under the 2018 Performance Incentive Plan

The Company has not approved any awards that are conditioned upon stockholder approval of the 2018 Plan. The Company is not currently considering any other specific award grants under the 2018 Plan, other than the annual grants of restricted stock units to our non-management directors described in the following paragraph. If the 2018 Plan had been in existence in fiscal 2017, the Company expects that its award grants for fiscal 2017 would not have been substantially different from those actually made in that year under the 2011 Plan. For information regarding stock-based awards granted to the Company's named executive officers during fiscal 2017, see the material under the heading "Executive Compensation" below.

As described under "Director Compensation" below, our current compensation policy for non-management directors provides for each non-management director to receive an annual award of restricted stock units, with the number of shares subject to each award to be determined by dividing $160,000 (for awards granted beginning in fiscal 2018) by the closing price of our common stock on the day of our annual meeting or, in the event of an out-of-cycle annual meeting, such earlier date approved by the Board as described below. Assuming, for illustrative purposes only, that the price of the common stock used for the conversion of the dollar amount set forth above into shares is $50.00, the number of shares that would be allocated to the Company's ten non-management directors as a group pursuant to the annual grant formula is approximately 32,000 per year for an aggregate ten-year total of 320,000. This figure represents the aggregate number of shares that would be subject to the annual grants under the director equity grant program for calendar years 2019 through 2028 (the ten remaining years in the term of the 2018 Plan, assuming the plan is approved) based on that assumed stock price. This calculation also assumes that there are no new eligible directors, there continue to be ten eligible directors seated and there are no changes to the awards granted under the director equity grant program.

Potential Dilution

The following paragraphs include additional information to help you assess the potential dilutive impact of the Company's equity awards and the 2018 Plan.

In order to help stockholders calculate the total number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to outstanding awards and available for the grant of new awards (what's commonly referred to as the Company's "overhang"), the following table shows the total number of shares of the Company's common stock that were subject to outstanding stock and stock unit awards granted under the 2011 Plan, that were subject to outstanding stock options granted under the 2011 Plan, and that were then available for new award grants under the 2011 Plan as of December 31, 2017 and as of March 9, 2018. In the table below, the number of shares subject to outstanding performance-based stock units such as PBRSUs and the number of shares available for new awards both assume that all outstanding performance-based stock units


Table of Contents

are paid out at the maximum performance level. All of the share numbers reported in the table below are actual share amounts, and do not give effect to the 2 to 1 fungible share counting ratio contained in the 2011 Plan.

    

As of December 31,
2017


 

As of March 9,
2018


​  
  Shares subject to outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (excluding performance-based vesting awards)    1,308,749    1,324,076  
​  
  Shares subject to outstanding performance-based vesting stock unit awards    1,318,914    1,140,676  
​

​  
  Shares available for new award grants    8,490,159    8,213,668  
​  

In addition to the 2011 Plan, we also maintain the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2012 ESPP") which generally provides for broad-based participation by employees of the Company (and certain of its subsidiaries) and affords employees who elect to participate an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a discount. Certain information regarding the number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance under the 2012 ESPP is included under the heading "Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans" below. The discussion that follows in this "Potential Dilution" section does not include any shares that have been purchased under, may be purchased in the current purchase period under, or remain available for issuance or delivery under the 2012 ESPP.

The Company also has outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan. There were zero (0) shares of the Company's common stock available for new award grants under the 2006 Plan as of December 31, 2017 and March 9, 2018. As of December 31, 2017 and March 9, 2018, there were zero (0) shares of stock subject to outstanding stock and stock unit awards and 397,573 and 107,050 shares of stock subject to outstanding options granted under the 2006 Plan.

Other than the 2011 Plan, the 2012 ESPP and the 2006 Plan, we do not have any other plans or arrangements in place under which shares of the Company's common stock are eligible to be awarded or under which there are outstanding awards with respect to shares of the Company's common stock.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company's outstanding stock options had a weighted average exercise price of $20.67 and a weighted average remaining term of 2.3 years.

The weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding in each of the last three fiscal years was 89,070,035 shares issued and outstanding in 2015; 87,501,882 shares issued and outstanding in 2016; and 83,499,390 shares issued and outstanding in 2017. The number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and March 9, 2018 was 83,499,390 and 81,539,072, respectively.

In order to help stockholders calculate the Company's share usage over the last three years (what's commonly referred to as the Company's "burn rate"), the total number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to awards that the Company granted under the 2011 Plan in each of the last three fiscal years, and to date (as of March 9, 2018) for 2018, are as follows. For purposes of the following disclosure, the number of shares granted subject to performance-based stock units such as PBRSUs is based on the maximum level of performance achieved, other than for 2015, for which the number of shares granted subject to performance-based stock units is based on the actual performance level achieved, which


Table of Contents

was not the maximum level. All of the numbers reported below are actual share amounts, and do not give effect to the 2 to 1 fungible share counting ratio contained in the plan.

Thus, the total number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to awards granted under the 2011 Plan per year over the last three fiscal years (2015, 2016 and 2017) has been, on average, 1.6% of the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding. Performance-based vesting awards have been included above in the year in which the award was granted. The actual number of performance-based restricted stock unit awards such as PBRSUs that became eligible to vest each year because the applicable performance-based condition was satisfied in that year (subject to the satisfaction of any applicable time-based vesting requirements) was as follows: 246,050 in 2015, 340,047 in 2016, 216,471 in 2017, and 0 to date (as of March 9, 2018) in 2018.

The total number of shares of our common stock that were subject to awards granted under the 2011 Plan or 2006 Plan that terminated or expired, and thus became available for new award grants under the 2011 Plan, in each of the last three fiscal years, and to date (as of March 9, 2018) in 2018, are as follows: 198,269 in 2015, 227,349 in 2016, 232,069 in 2017, and 13,164 in 2018. The total number of shares of our common stock that were subject to awards granted under the 2011 Plan or 2006 Plan and that were withheld to cover tax withholding obligations arising with respect to the award (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights), and thus became available for new award grants under the 2011 Plan, in each of the last three fiscal years, and to date (as of March 9, 2018) in 2018, are as follows: 406,627 in 2015, 299,586 in 2016, 352,136 in 2017, and 100,414 in 2018. Shares subject to 2011 Plan or 2006 Plan awards that terminated or expired, or were withheld to cover tax withholding obligations arising with respect to the award (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights), and became available for new award grants under the 2011 Plan have been included when information is presented in this 2018 Plan proposal on the number of shares available for new award grants under the 2011 Plan.

The Compensation Committee anticipates that the 3,300,000 additional shares requested for the 2018 Plan (together with the shares available for new award grants under the 2011 Plan on the date of our annual meeting and assuming usual levels of shares becoming available for new awards as a result of forfeitures of


Table of Contents

outstanding awards) will provide the Company with flexibility to continue to grant equity awards under the 2018 Plan through approximately the end of 2022 (reserving sufficient shares to cover potential payment of performance-based awards at maximum payment levels). However, this is only an estimate, in the Company's judgment, based on current circumstances. The total number of shares that is subject to the Company's award grants in any one year or from year-to-year may change based on a number of variables, including, without limitation, the value of the Company's common stock (since higher stock prices generally require that fewer shares be issued to produce awards of the same grant date fair value), changes in competitors' compensation practices or changes in compensation practices in the market generally, changes in the number of employees, changes in the number of directors and officers, whether and the extent to which vesting conditions applicable to equity-based awards are satisfied, acquisition activity and the need to grant awards to new employees in connection with acquisitions, the need to attract, retain and incentivize key talent, the type of awards the Company grants, and how the Company chooses to balance total compensation between cash and equity-based awards.

The closing market price for a share of the Company's common stock as of March 9, 2018 was $46.74 per share.

Vote Required for Approval of the 2018 Performance Incentive Plan

The Board believes that the adoption of the 2018 Plan will promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders and will help the Company and its subsidiaries continue to be able to attract, retain and reward persons important to our success.

All members of the Board and all of the Company's executive officers are eligible for awards under the 2018 Plan and thus have a personal interest in the approval of the 2018 Plan.

Approval of the 2018 Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter (meaning that of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal, a majority of them must be voted "for" the proposal for it to be approved). Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "against" this proposal, and broker-non votes will not be counted in determining the outcome of this proposal.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE 2018 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN AS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND SET FORTH INAPPENDIX B HERETO.

What We
Do


Review total compensation relative to the median of a Peer Group of industry-aligned companies with similar executive talent needs

Tie annual incentives to achievement of multiple rigorous financial and operating goals

Use performance-based vesting for 50% of long-term compensation, tied to achievement of stretch EPS targets and total stockholder return (TSR) relative to our peers

Maintain robust stock ownership guidelines

Maintain a claw-back policy for incentive payments

Use an independent compensation consultant retained directly by the Committee, in its sole discretion, who performs no consulting or other services for management

2017 Compensation Outcomes

We rewarded strong financial results.    Our 2017 financial performance met or exceeded targets on all metrics other than revenue (impacted by market volume declines), and resulted in above-target payouts overall. Results for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow generated funding of our annual cash bonus plan, the ICP, at 122.7% of target for NEOs.

We also considered and, as appropriate, rewarded our most significant strategic accomplishments.    Our decisions on ICP awards took into consideration a number of key accomplishments in 2017 across our three strategic focus areas (growth and scale, operational excellence and high performing organization).

The Audit Committee retained PwC (along with other accounting firms) to providenon-audit services in 2017.2019. We understand the need for PwC to maintain objectivity and independence as the auditor of our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has established the following policies and processes related to audit andnon-audit services.

The Audit Committee'sCommittee’s policy is topre-approve all engagements of our independent registered public accounting firm for audit andnon-audit services. The Audit Committee's Committee’spre-approval policy identifies specific services and assignspre-approved spending thresholds for each group ofnon-audit services. This policy works in conjunction with our independent registered public accounting firm'sfirm’s annual audit services fee schedule, which is also approved by the Audit Committee. Any services notpre-approved or not covered by the policy or the audit services fee schedule are submitted to the Audit Committee'sCommittee’s chairman, as the Audit Committee'sCommittee’s designee, for review and approval and are subsequently ratified by the Audit Committee at its next meeting, as appropriate.

    overseeing the evaluation of the Board; and

    developing, recommending to the Board and periodically reviewing the corporate governance principles and policies applicable to us.

Director Nominees.The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted procedures by which certain of our stockholders may recommend director nominees to the Board. In particular, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established a policy whereby it will accept and consider, in its discretion, director recommendations from any stockholder holding in excess of 5% of our outstanding common stock. Such recommendations must include the name and credentials of the recommended nominee and should be submitted to our Secretary at our address included in this proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate director candidates recommended by stockholders for election to our Board in the same manner and using the same criteria as used for any other director candidate (as described below). If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines that a stockholder-recommended candidate is suitable for membership on our Board, it will include the candidate in the pool of candidates to be considered for nomination upon the occurrence of the next vacancy on our Board or in connection with the next annual meeting of stockholders.

Evaluation of Director Nominees.While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has no specific minimum qualifications in evaluating a director candidate, it takes into account all factors it considers appropriate in identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on our Board, including some or all of the following: strength of character, an inquiring and independent mind, practical wisdom, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant industry experience, relevant technical skills, reputation in the community, diversity and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the full Board as to whether or not incumbent directors should stand forre-election. However, if we are legally required by contract or otherwise to provide third parties with the ability to nominate directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may adjust its evaluation process for the designated candidates to reflect our contractual obligations with respect to their nomination. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts all necessary and appropriate inquiries into the background and qualifications of possible candidates and may engage a search firm to assist in identifying potential candidates for nomination as it did in connection with the appointment of two new directors in 2017.nomination.

We do not have a formal policy for the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees for director. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes the benefits associated with a diverse board and, as indicated above, considers diversity as a factor when identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on our Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a broad conception of diversity, including professional and educational background, prior experience on other boards of directors (both public and private), political and social perspectives as well as race, gender and national origin.

Independence of Directors

Pursuant to the corporate governancelisting rules of the NYSE, for listed companies, a majority of the Board must be independent. A director will not qualify as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). To assist in its determination of director independence, the Board has adopted categorical director independence standards, which are contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available to stockholders on the Investors section of our web sitewebsite under Leadership & Governance—HighlightsGovernance-Highlights atwww.corelogic.com.

In accordance with theapplicable NYSE listing rules and our categorical director independence standards, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Chatham, Curling, Dorman, Folino, O'Brien,O’Brien, Raina, Shepherd and Walker, and Mses. Munce, Studenmund and Widener is "independent" as that term is defined in the corporate governance rules of the NYSE for listed companies.“independent”. Mr. Martell is not considered an inside directorindependent because he is employed by usserves as a senior executive.our President and Chief Executive Officer.

During 2017, each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was determined by the Board to be independent, as defined in the corporate governance rules of the NYSE for listed companies and in accordance with our categorical director independence standards. The Board further determined that each member of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee met the additional independence standards applicable to those committees under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE and applicable SEC rules.Leadership Structure

Board Leadership Structure; Meetings of Independent Directors

The offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman are separate. Mr. Folino has served as Chairman of our Board since July 2014. Our Board believes that the separation of the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer continues to be appropriate as it allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on his management responsibilities and the Chairman to oversee and manage the Board and its functions. Having an independent Chairman promotes the independence of our Board and provides appropriate oversight of

management and ensures free and open discussion and communication among thenon-management members of our Board. In 2017, the non-management directors met seven times in executive session without management present. The Chairman also chairs and coordinates the agenda for these executive sessions of thenon-management directors.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board shall annually elect a lead director by a majority vote of the independent directors unless the Chairperson of the Board is an independent director, in which case the Chairperson of the Board will perform the functions of a lead director and no lead director shall be elected. Mr. Folino, an independent director, is the Chairman and, as a result, we do not currently have a lead director.

Director Education

Director Education

Directors are strongly encouraged to attend educational seminars regarding the Company’s business, corporate governance and other issues pertaining to their directorship. We also provide the Board with educational training from time to timetime-to-time on subjects applicable to the Board and the Company, including with regard to industry and regulatory developments, accounting, financial reporting, and corporate governance, using both internal and external resources.

Succession Planning

Succession Planning

As part of this process, thenon-management directors annually review the Compensation Committee'sCommittee’s recommended candidates for senior management positions to see that qualified candidates are available for all positions and that development plans are being utilized to strengthen the skills and qualifications of the candidates. The criteria used when assessing the qualifications of potential CEO successors include, among others, strategic vision and leadership, operational excellence, financial management, executive officer leadership development, ability to motivate employees, and an ability to develop an effective working relationship with the Board. In 2017, the Board implemented its succession plan with Mr. Nallathambi's passing and appointed Frank D. Martell as our President and CEO.

Audit Committee

In performing these functions, the Audit Committee regularly receives reports from management (including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Controller and the Chief Legal Officer) and internal auditors regarding our risk management program (which incorporates our compliance, information & cyber security, and business continuity programs), extraordinary claims and losses, and significant litigation. The Board receives updates on risk oversight from the Audit Committee and members of management.

Compensation Committee

Summary of 2017 Compensation Decisions

We rewardedaligned annual incentives to strong financial results. Our 2017underlyingpay-for-performance approach is intended to reward management appropriately for results relative to targeted performance through use of a

weighted combination of three performance metrics: revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and FCF. Annual incentive performance goals were set at the beginning of 2019 based on best available market forecasts at the time, which called for a modest decline relative to actual 2018 for US mortgage market unit volumes. In addition, our financial targets were set based on our assessment of the impact of key strategic initiatives as well as known or anticipated macro-economic environment and operating conditions in the global markets we serve. We delivered a strong performance met or exceeded targets on all metrics other thanin 2019 – both operationally and financially – exceeding our revenue (impactedtarget by market volume declines)10%, our adjusted EBITDA target by 11%, and resulted in above-target payouts overall. Resultsour FCF target by 4%. Combined results for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and FCF generated annual incentive funding at 141% of target. The overachievement against our targets was driven principally by a combination of effective and aggressive management, improved market conditions for US mortgage as well as changes in the timing related to our AMC transformation program and the wind down of certainnon-core platforms. After considering the impact of changes in the timing and other assumptions related to our AMC transformation program as well as the wind down ofnon-core platforms on actual financial results against targeted performance levels, the Committee exercised its discretion to reduce final funding of our annual cash bonus plan, the ICP, at 122.7%financial results to 128.7% of target.

PAY PHILOSOPHY

We pay for performance.Our compensation program is heavily weighted toward performance-based annual and long-term compensation that provides a direct link between rigorous goals for corporate performance and pay outcomes for our executive officers. Our annual incentive planICP also ties pay outcomes to the achievement of key strategic objectives that we believe will drive longer-term value to stockholders. We believe that our compensation program provides effective incentives for strong operating results by appropriately aligning pay and performance. Our philosophy is designed to:

    Attract, motivate and retain highly-qualified executive officers critical to our long-term success;

    Align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders;

    Reward executive officers for achieving pre-defined stretch financial goals and strategic objectives that may not yield current-period financial results but are expected to position us for enhanced results in future periods;

    Encourage strategic long-term development and profitable investment in the business;

      Base salary,

Our program emphasizes performance-based incentives.    85%86% of our CEOCEO’s compensation and 74%75% of the compensation for the other NEOs (including Mr. Henry and excluding Mr. Pinkston) is performance-based. The chart below illustrates our pay mix. (For these purposes we have determined compensation by using the grant date fair value of our equity awards and by valuing our performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) at target level of performance.)

We set rigorous goals in our incentive plans.    At We set challenging goals for both our annual incentive and long-term equity plan, with recognition of the beginning of 2017, we expected U.S. mortgage origination volumes to be approximately 20% less than 2016 volumes. Our 2017 financial targets anticipated this decline, but included stretch growth expectations above market trends.broader macro-economic environment factored into performance goals. We significantly outperformed market volume trends in the U.S.US mortgage market trends and grewdelivered single-digit top line growth in our insurance & spatial and internationalcore operations, at significant rates, resulting in achieving or exceeding all targets except revenue, which was slightly below target.year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA and FCF despite very challenging market conditions as we entered the year. For 2019, we also considered the impact of the timing of significant planned investments on our results.

We use strategic goals in our ICP.Results on strategic goals represent 25% of the annual ICP opportunity for our executive officers. We believe this approach rewards the accomplishment of key objectives that will drive future performance. In our ICP, the strategic goals portion is funded by the results on financial goals. The Committee separately determines the portion of the funded amount that should be paid as a result of

achievement of the assigned objectives. The Committee carefully evaluates management'smanagement’s accomplishments relative to the goals, as further described below.

We focus on long-term stockholder value.    Nearly 70% of the total compensation opportunity for our CEO is based on achievement of stockholder-aligned performance and the value of our shares. For other NEOs, over half of their total target compensation opportunities are tied to these stockholder results.

Our equity grants are tied to performance.In 2017,2019, 50% of the target value of our long-term incentive awards for our CEO and other NEOs was granted in the form of performance-based restricted stock units ("PBRSUs")PBRSUs that vest based on achievement of adjusted EPS results relative to target and TSR relative to the companies in our Peer Group (see description of the Peer Group(as described and defined later in this section). We set rigorous goals in our PBRSU awards, where strong operating and shareholder performance, such as a 31% shareholder return in 2019, has allowed us to achieve above-target payouts in the last three award cycles. The remaining 50% of the target value of our long-term incentive awards was granted in the form of time-vested restricted stock units ("RSUs")RSUs that require us to achieve a threshold adjusted net income level in order to be eligible to vest.

Determining Pay

Determining Pay

Generally, in determining base salary, target annual ICP and guidelines for long-term equity awards, the Committee considers a number ofseveral factors including, but not limited to, the executive officer's:officer’s:

    role, including the scope and complexity of responsibilities;

    responsibilities

experience and capabilities, including institutional knowledge;

knowledge

contributions or responsibilities beyond the typical scope of the role;

role

individual performance;

performance

positioning relative to our other executive officers;

officers

difficulty in recruiting a replacement;replacement, and

competitive compensation opportunities provided by our peers and other competitors for similar executive talent.talent

Our philosophy is to incentivize and reward executive officers for future performance. While the Committee regularly reviews executive officer equity grants and vesting, it does not consider prior stock compensation gains (option gains or restricted stock awarded in prior years) in setting future compensation levels.


Table of Contents

Peer Group and Benchmarking

In order toTo monitor competitive compensation practices, the Committee relies primarily upon data compiled from public filings of selected companies (our Peer Group)“Peer Group”) that it considers to be competitors or appropriate comparators for executive talent. The Committee reviews and approves the Peer Group annually. Criteria for Peer Group selection include firms that operate in data, information and analytics and related businesses.as well as those that have a high degree of sensitivity to mortgage origination volumes. Our 20172019 Peer Group is presented in the table below.

Historically, our peer group has been challenging to construct as there are few firms that operate with highly comparable business mixes. Peers have generally been information and service providers, with some financial technology firms also included. For 2019, the Company refreshed its peer group to provide greater alignment with businesses that are sensitive to mortgage origination volumes and interest rates.

The following organizations were added to the 2019 Peer Group:

Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.

Realogy Holdings Corporation

Mr. Cooper Group, Inc. (formerly Nationstar Mortgage Holdings)

Radian Group, Inc.

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.

Zillow Group, Inc.

MGIC Investment Corporation

ICP Performance Metrics.For 2017,2019, the Committee selectedapproved the following three performance measures for the ICP:

    Revenue (GAAP metric)

    (GAAP)

Adjusted EBITDA anon-GAAP — a non-GAAP metric calculated as net income from continuing operations adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation,non-operating gains/losses and other adjustments, as set forth in the Performance Unit Agreement

adjustments.

Free Cash Flow (FCF) anon-GAAP — a non-GAAP metric calculated as net cash provided byfrom continuing operating activities, less capital expenditures for purchases of property and equipment, capitalized data and other intangible assetsassets.

The Committee selectedapproved these measures in order to reflect a balanced perspective on performance includingreflecting growth, profitability and cash management. The Committee believes these measures drive the valuation of our stock. Please seeAppendix A for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and free cash flowFCF to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

For 2017, results2019, 75% of the ICP opportunity was based on our financial performance goals and 25% on established strategic objectives for each executive officer. Results for achievement of revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and FCF goals were weighted as follows in determining ICP funding, with 75% of the ICP opportunity based on our financial performance goals and 25% on established strategic objectives for each executive officer described further below:funding:

Revenue

   3434%%

Adjusted EBITDA

   3333%%

Free Cash Flow

   3333%%

Threshold Performance Requirement.For 2017,2019, no award was payable unless our 20172019 adjusted net income exceeded $57.5$62.5 million.

Funding Formula for Financial Results.At least 80% of targeted performance (threshold) for a metric must be achieved to generate any funding for that metric. The funding formula is set out in the table below. For performance levels between threshold and target or between target and maximum, the funding is determined by linear interpolation. Notwithstanding the actual ICP funding results, the Committee retains the discretion to decrease the actual payment for an ICP participant.

The sum of the weighted results of the three financial metrics funds the ICP awards. For 2017,2019, NEOs received 75% of the funded amounttheir ICP payout based on financial results. Awards for the remaining 25% of the funded amount were based on an evaluation of performance on strategic goals. For outstanding performance on strategic objectives, the ICP structure permits the strategic goal payment percentage of up to 200% of target.

Financial results were measured at the corporate level for NEOs except for Mr. Sando, whose financial results were equally weighted between33.3% on the corporate metrics previously outlined and segment-level66.7% on revenue and adjusted EBITDA results for the business segment he manages. Funding for his strategic objectives component was determined by corporate results alone in alignment withas for the other NEOs.

Determining Awards for Strategic Goal Achievement.The Committee determined that three major areas of our business strategy should continue to be used for ICP strategic goals: (1) growth and scale,innovation, (2) operational excellence, and (3) high performing organization. The Committee believed that these were the critical strategic initiativesfocal areas for accelerating achievement of our long-strategy performance which are not otherwise measurable through annual financial performance metrics. Each executive officer was assigned specific objectives within each category.

The CEO providesprovided the Committee with his assessment of individual results on strategic goals for the other executive officers and the Committee assessesassessed the achievement level of the CEO. Based on these assessments, the Committee determinesdetermined strategic goal achievement awards for each of the NEOs.

Strategic Goal Results and Awards.    For Messrs. Nallathambi and Theologides, Following a detailed review of individual performance objectives,the Committee determinedassigned a percentage of target for each executive officer as indicated in the table below. In addition to the objectives that their performance during their time withwere set at the Companybeginning of the year, the Committee took into consideration strategic actions undertaken by the executives that were identified by management during the year in response to the challenging economic environment. Mr. Henry was aligned with the level of financial results achieved, and set their funding level at 122.7% of target. Their awards were then proratednot eligible for days served with the company in 2017 per the terms of their employment agreements. For Messrs. Balas, Sando, and Martell, the Committee determined that each of these executive officers demonstrated extraordinary performance with regard to achievement of strategic objectives. The Committee therefore determined that each executive officer achieved his strategic objectives at a level that exceeded the formulaic financial payout value, and set their funding level at approximately 138% of target for Mr. Martell, 137% of target for Mr. Balas, and 125% of target for Mr. Sando. The table below summarizes the target and actual incentive bonus awards for each executive officer.

Long-Term Incentives (LTI)Financial goals for Mr. Sando are calculated based on a split between corporate targets (25%) and segment revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets (50%), together accounting for 75% of his total ICP award. Unadjusted funding results for the segment were 149.6% of target resulting in weighted financial results of 107% and a total ICP award equal to 139.2% of his target.

Mr. Pinkston was not eligible to receive an annual incentive payout due to his departure from CoreLogic in June 2019.

Long-Term Incentives (LTI)

Our LTI program is designed to motivate and reward profitable growth and stockholder value creation through awards of performance-based and time-vested equity. The Committee believes that using performance-based and time-vesting equity vehicles reinforces both performance and retention of key executives while aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and encouraging an appropriate level of risk-taking.

Long-term incentives represent the largest component of executive officer compensation. In 2017,2019, we granted 50% of total LTI value in PBRSUs and 50% in RSUs.

In determining the amount of the equity compensation awarded to each executive officer, the Committee primarily considered company and individual performance. However, theThe Committee may also evaluatemodify the target awards in consideration of any factor it considers relevant including competencies, skills, prior experiences, scope of responsibility and accountability within the organization, and the long-term incentiveLTI awards made by Peer Group companies to similarly-situated executive officers.

LTI Targets.    TheFor 2019, the Committee established the following 2017 LTI targetsapproved awards at target for our NEOs:

Timing of Equity Awards.After Committee approval, we generally issue annual equity awards to executive officers on the second day on which the NYSE is open for trading following the filing of our Annual Report onForm 10-K, using the last sale price reported for a share of our common stock on the NYSE on that date. Grants to new hires or other grants outside the annual grant cycle follow the same methodology, except that awards are generally issued on the 20th day (or the next succeeding business day if the market is closed on the 20th day) of the third month of the calendar quarter that follows the date on which the Committee approved the awards.

SpecialOne-Time A30 Award. In 2018, the Compensation Committee approved a specialone-time award (the “A30 Award”) to senior leaders to provide a focused incentive for achievement of an aggressive adjusted EBITDA margin expansion between 2018 and 2020. The award is also intended to enhance executive retention and promote the achievement of major strategic initiatives (e.g., workflow automation and adoption of related

technologies) that improve EBITDA margins. In 2019, Mr. Henry received an A30 PBRSU of $475,000. No other NEO received an A30 award or any time of incremental awards beyond their regular 2019 grants (see FY2018 proxy for additional information on grant performance ranges and payout).

Employment Inducement Award

Mr. Henry joined CoreLogic as its Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary in November 2019. In order to provide an inducement for Mr. Henry to join CoreLogic, the Committee approved a total payment of $500,000 in cash which will be paid in two installments in March and December of 2020. As such, the value of such award will be disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table next year as part of the 2021 proxy.

Executive officers are entitled to the same benefits generally available to all full-time employees (subject to fulfilling any minimum service requirement) including the 401(k) plan, healthcare, life insurance and other welfare benefit programs. In designing these benefits, we seek to provide an overall level of benefits that is competitive with those offered by similar companies in the markets in which we operate. We believe that these employee benefits provide a valuable recruiting and retention mechanism for our executive officers and enable us to compete more successfully for qualified executive talent.

Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan and the Pension Restoration Plan.    Two of our executive officers — Messrs. Nallathambi andMr. Sando became participantsa participant in our Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (the "Executive“Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan"Plan”) prior to its closure to new participants in 2010. On November 18, 2010, we amended the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan to freeze benefits effective as of December 31, 2010. As a result, compensation earned after 2010 is not taken into accountconsidered in determining covered compensation and final average compensation; service after 2010 is not recognized, except for vesting purposes. Mr. Sando is also a participant in the Pension Restoration Plan, which is limited to individuals who became participants before 1995. Explanation of these plans can be found in the Pension Benefits table below.

Deferred Compensation Plan.The Deferred Compensation Plan is anon-qualified retirement plan that allows eligible participants to defer up to 80% of their salary and annual incentive bonus. Participation is limited to executive officers and certain other key employees. In 2010, we amended the Deferred Compensation Plan to provide additional Company contributions in the form of 401(k) restoration contributions and discretionary retirement savings contributions to a limited number of executive officers who were not eligible to participate in the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan.restoration.

Other Benefits.We also maintain an executive life insurance program for executive officers and other key employees. This program provides the participant with up to two times their annualized base salary (up to a maximum of $1 million) in group universal life insurance.

Further details regarding perquisites are found in the 20172019 Summary Compensation Table and accompanying footnotes.

Role of the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer

Role of the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer

The Committee is composed solely of independent members of our Board. The Committee reviews and approves executive officer base salaries, annual incentive bonus programs, long-term incentive compensation and other incentive and executive benefit plans. The Committee, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, analyzes the reasonableness of executive officer compensation, in part by reviewing compensation data from comparable companies and from relevant other industry sources.


Table of Contents

Decisions regarding compensation of the CEO are made solely by the Committee based on its deliberations with input from its independent compensation consultant. Decisions regarding other executive officers are made by the Committee after considering recommendations from the CEO as appropriate, as well as input from the Committee'sCommittee’s independent compensation consultant. Our CEO and, as appropriate, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief PeopleHuman Resources Officer, may attend the portion of the Committee'sCommittee’s meetings where individual executive officer performance is discussed. Only Committee members may vote on executive officer compensation decisions.

The Committee regularly meets in executive session with its independent compensation consultant.

Role of Independent Compensation Consultant

Role of Independent Compensation Consultant

The Committee retained Pay Governance LLC as its independent compensation consultant to advise on the executive officer compensation for 2017.2019. The consultant generally advises the Committee on all aspects of the executive compensation program design and governance process. During 2017,2019, as part of its engagement with the Committee, the independent compensation consultant:

    advised on the selection of a peer group of companies for executive officer compensation comparison purposes;

    purposes

provided guidance on industry best practices, and emerging trends and developments in executive officer compensation;

analyzed survey data;compensation, and

investor views of compensation design and practices

consulted on incentive design

advised on determining the total compensation of each of our executive officers and the material elements of total compensation, including (1) annual base salaries, (2) target cash bonus amounts, and (3) the structure and target amount of long-term incentive awards.awards

Consulted onnon-employee director compensation, and

Assisted on a compensation risk assessment

The Committee retained its independent compensation consultant directly, although in carrying out assignments, the consultant also interacted with Company management on behalf of the Committee. Pay Governance performed no services for the Company, and the Committee does not believe the independent compensation consultants'consultant’s work has raised any conflict of interest. The Committee has the sole authority to select, retain, and terminate the independent compensation consultants.

Adjustment or Recovery of Awards (Claw-backs)

Adjustment or Recovery of Awards (Claw-backs)

The Company maintains a recoupment policy that enables recovery of performance-based compensation to the extent that it is later determined that applicable performance goals were not actually achieved taking into account a financial restatement or ethical misconduct. We also added claw-backs in terminationemployment agreements for all executive officers. This policy applies to all performance-based incentive plans including but not limited to the annual incentive cash bonus and performance-based equity awards described above.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

The Company maintains a policy that prohibits executive officer transactions in put options, call options or other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market as well as holding Company securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines and Retention Requirements

We require our executive officers to own a fixed amount of our stock. The rigorous guidelines are based on a multiple of base salary as outlined below:

Covered officers have five years from their date of hire or promotion to the covered position to reach the ownership requirement. All Company securities owned outright or earned and subject only to time-based

vesting restrictions count toward the requirement; stock options do not count toward the ownership requirement. Furthermore, we have adopted a share retention requirement which provides that all covered executives must hold at least 50% of net (after tax) shares until the stock ownership guidelines described above are achieved. All current NEOs have met their ownership requirements.requirements or still have time remaining to reach the ownership requirement.

Employment Agreements and Severance Arrangements

Each currently employed executive officer is party to an employment agreement with us. The Committee believes that offering employment agreements to key executive officers is consistent with peer practices and serves as an effective retention tool. Each agreement is individually negotiated and terms may vary. For additional information regarding the terms of the employment agreements, including severance arrangements that we have entered into with our executive officers and the severance benefits actually paid to Mr. Theologides, see "Employment Agreements"“Employment Agreements” below.

Change in Control Agreements

Change in Control Agreements

All equityEquity awards are currently grantedissued under the 2018 Plan, which was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting held in May 2018. Prior to the approval of the 2018 Plan, we issued share-based awards under the 2011 Performance Incentive Plan, (the "2011 Plan"), as amended. However, at the annual meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the new 2018 Performance Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"). If the 2018 Plan is approved by stockholders, future equity awards will be granted under the 2018 Plan. The 2011 Plan and 2018 Plan do not include an automatic "single trigger"“single trigger” change in control vesting provision. Instead, both plans include a change in control provision where automatic accelerated vesting of an award in connection with a change in control will only occur if an acquirer or successor to us fails to assume or continue the awards or the awards otherwise do not survive the transaction. Additionally, award agreements include "double-trigger"“double-trigger” severance protections


Table of Contents

and provide for accelerated vesting of awards that remain outstanding following a change in control transaction in the event of a termination without cause following a change in control.

The Deferred Compensation Plan generally provides for accelerated vesting of awards or benefits, as the case may be, in the event of a change in control of the Company. In addition, the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan provides that when a participant incurs an involuntary separation from service without good cause subsequent to a change in control, payment of benefits will commence in the same manner and in the same amount as if the participant had attained his or her normal retirement age on the date of termination.

In addition to the plan and award agreement provisions described above, we have entered into a change in control agreement (a "Change“Change in Control Agreement"Agreement”) with each of our executive officers who remain employed.NEOs. Under the Change in Control Agreement, a "change“change in control"control” means the consummation of any one of the following:

    a merger or consolidation of the Company in which our stockholders end up owning less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity;

    entity

the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or the complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

Company

a change in the composition of our Board of Directors over atwo-year period as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are incumbent directors, as defined in the agreement;agreement, or

the acquisition or accumulation by any person or group, subject to certain limited exceptions, of at least 30% of our voting securities.securities

If the termination of a coveredour executive officer'sofficer’s employment occurs without cause or if the executive officer terminates his employment for good reason within the twenty-four-month period following a change in control, we will pay the following benefits in one lump sum in the month following the month in which the date of the termination occurs:

    the executive officer'sofficer’s base salary through and including the date of termination and any accrued but unpaid annual incentive bonus;

    bonus

between two and three times the executive officer'sofficer’s target annual cash bonus amount established for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs;occurs, and

between two and three times the executive officer'sofficer’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination.termination

Furthermore, under the Change in Control Agreement, for a period ranging from twenty-four tothirty-six months and subject to the covered executive officer'sofficer’s continued payment of the same percentage of the applicable premiums as the executive officer was paying immediately prior to the date of termination or, if more favorable to the executive officer, at the time at which the change in control occurred, we will provide medical and dental coverage pursuant to COBRA for the executive officer (and if applicable, the executive officer'sofficer’s dependents). To the extent that the executive officer cannot participate in the plans previously available, we will provide such benefits on the sameafter-tax basis as if they had been available. These obligations are reduced by any welfare benefits made available to the executive officer from subsequent employers.

The Change in Control Agreement provides that if any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax), applies to the payments, benefits or other amounts payable under the agreement or


Table of Contents

otherwise, including without limitation, any acceleration of the vesting of outstanding stock options, restricted stock or performance shares (collectively, the "Total Payments"“Total Payments”), then the Total Payments will be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of the Total Payments (after reduction) will be $1.00 less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to the excise tax; provided that such reduction to the Total Payments will be made only if theafter-tax benefit to the executive officer is greater after giving effect to such reduction than if no such reduction had been made. This type of provision is often referred to as a "modified “modifiedcut-back," and is included because the Change in Control Agreement does not provide for any type of "gross up"“gross up” or similar benefit.

The Change in Control Agreement had an initial term through December 31, 2011 and is automatically extended for additionalone-year periods unless either party notifies the other not later than the preceding January 1 that it does not wish to extend the term for an additional year. All agreements with current executive officers have since been extended through December 31, 2018.2020. For a description of the calculations and further explanation of the payments due to the executive officers upon termination of employment and/or a change in control, see Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control tables below.

Impact of Tax and Accounting

Impact of Tax and Accounting

As a general matter, the Committee takes into accountconsiders the various tax and accounting implications of the compensation vehicles we employ. When determining amounts of long-term incentive grants to executive officers and employees, the Committee examines the accounting cost associated with the grants. Under accounting guidance, grants of stock options, RSUs and PBRSUs result in an accounting charge for the Company.Company over their vesting period. The accounting charge is equal to the fair value of the instruments being issued. For RSUs, the cost is generally equal to the fair value of the stock on the date of grant times the number of shares granted. This expense is amortized over the requisite service period. With respect to stock options, we calculate the fair value of the option and take that value into account as an expense over the vesting period, after adjusting for possible forfeitures. For PBRSUs, we calculate the fair value of the award upon grant and adjust the

value to be expensed on a quarterly basis over the performance period based on expected award payouts, after adjusting for possible forfeitures.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally prohibits a publicly-held company from deducting compensation paid to a current or former NEO that exceeds $1.0 million during the tax year. Certain awards granted before November 2, 2017 that were based upon attainingpre-established performance measures that were set by the Committee under a plan approved by the Company'sCompany’s stockholders, as well as amounts payable to former executive officers pursuant to a written binding contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017, may qualify for an exception to the $1.0 million deductibility limit.

As one of the factors in its consideration of compensation matters, the Committee noted this deductibility limitation. However, the Committee has the flexibility to take any compensation-related actions that it determines are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, including awarding compensation that may not be deductible for tax purposes. There can be no assurance that any compensation will in fact be deductible.

For 2019, reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards, consisting of RSUs and PBRSUs, computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. We valued the RSUs as of the grant date by multiplying the closing price of our common stock on that date by the number of RSUs awarded. We valued the PBRSUs as of the grant date by multiplying the closing price of our common stock on that date by the target number of PBRSUs that will vest upon achievement of the target performance. The RSUs were granted and vest contingent upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria through December 31, 2019, which criteria were satisfied, and thereafter vest based on continued employment through December 31, 2021. The PBRSUs were granted and vest contingent upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria and continued employment through December 31, 2021 (or December 31, 2020 in the case of the A30 Award granted to Mr. Henry). If the highest performance target is met or exceeded, the value of the awards at grant date would be as follows: Mr. Martell $3,959,957; Mr. Balas $949,926; Mr. Sando $1,099,950; Mr. Henry $949,974 and Mr. Pinkston $899,994.

The Company did not grant stock options in 2017, 2018 or 2019.

(7)

For 2019, represents the annual incentive bonus that was paid to each NEO and includes any amounts electively deferred by the NEO under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

(8)

For 2019, represents the change in the present value of the life annuity from the end of fiscal year 2018 to the end of fiscal year 2019 for the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan and the Pension Restoration Plan with respect to Mr. Sando. The actual change in the present values is as follows: $1,270,266 under the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan and $26,594 under the Pension Restoration Plan. The amounts in this column do not include earnings under the Deferred Compensation Plan as such earnings were neither above-market nor preferential. See the Pension Benefits table below under “Pension Benefits for 2019” for assumptions used in calculating these amounts.

(1)
Amounts reflect each NEO's maximum annual incentive bonus opportunity for 2017, while the actual incentive bonus earned by each NEO is reported in the 2017 Summary Compensation Table above. NEOs can earn less than maximum, but not amounts greater than maximum. At threshold, a NEO would receive 17% of the maximum award amount and at target the NEO would receive 50% of the maximum award amount. Please see Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Annual Incentive Bonus above for a discussion of the material terms of our 2017 incentive bonus program.

(2)
Equity Awards in 2017 consisted of RSUs and PBRSUs granted as part of the 2017 long-term incentive compensation program. The RSUs are tied to achievement of at least $57.5 million in 2017 adjusted net income. For the RSUs, if as was the case, the adjusted net income performance target is met, the shares vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In the case of the PBRSUs, 100% of each award is tied to achievement of certain adjusted earnings-per-share targets over a three-year performance period consisting of the 2017-2019 fiscal years, subject to modification based on our relative total stockholder return achieved during the performance period. The PBRSUs that were earned in 2017 based on 2017 adjusted EPS performance and relative total stockholder return will vest and be payable to the NEOs subject to their continued employment through December 31, 2019. Please see Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Long-Term Incentives above for a discussion of the material terms of our 2017 awards of RSUs and PBRSUs.

(3)
These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each award determined pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For the assumptions and methodologies used to value these awards, see footnote (5) to the 2017 Summary Compensation Table above.

Equity awards in 2019 consisted of RSUs and PBRSUs granted as part of the 2019 long-term incentive compensation program and a separate A30 Award of PBRSUs that was granted to Mr. Henry. The RSUs are tied to achievement of at least $62.5 million in 2019 adjusted net income. For the RSUs, if as was the case, the adjusted net income performance target is met, the shares vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In the case of the PBRSUs (other than the A30 Award), 100% of each award is tied to achievement of certain adjustedEmployment Agreementsearnings-per-share targets over a three-year performance period consisting of the 2019-2021 fiscal years, subject to modification based on our relative total stockholder return achieved during the performance period. The PBRSUs that were earned in 2019 based on 2019 adjusted EPS performance and relative total stockholder return will vest and be payable to the NEOs subject to their continued employment through December 31, 2021.

These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each award determined pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For the assumptions and methodologies used to value these awards, see footnote (5) to the 2019 Summary Compensation Table above.

(4)

PBRSUs were granted as a specialone-time A30 Award to Mr. Henry on December 20, 2019 and remain subject to the achievement of certain performance measures. The PBRSUs vest, if at all, based on achievement ofpre-determined 2020 adjusted EBITDA margin targets.

Mr. Pinkston’s awards were forfeited upon his resignation from the Company in June 2019.

Employment Agreements

Effective March 6, 2017, we entered into a new employment agreement with FrankMr. Martell, which superseded the prior agreement and amendments thereto. On April 8, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Balas. In May 2011, we entered into an employment agreementsagreement with Anand Nallathambi, Barry M.Mr. Sando, and Stergios Theologides, and effectiveas amended June 16, 2014 and October 6, 2014,2014. Effective November 4, 2019, we amended theentered into an employment agreement with Mr. Sando. On March 2, 2017,Henry. In June 2019, Mr. Nallathambi passed away, which resulted inPinkston left the termination ofCompany and as such his employment agreement. On September 15, 2017, Mr. Theologides' employment terminated, which resulted in the termination of his employment agreement.agreement was terminated. The material terms of the currently active employment agreements, which are substantially similar in form, are as follows:

    Term:One-year  One-year term through December 31 of each calendar year, with automatic renewal for an additional year unless either party provides 60 days prior written notice before the expiration of the current term. Neither party to the NEO employment agreements provided such notice in 2017,2019, and accordingly the term of each automatically extended through December 31, 2018.

    2020.

    Pay:Sets initial base salary at current salary at the time the agreement was entered into or amended and provides that base salary will be reviewed annually and may be increased (but not decreased) during the term at our discretion.

    Severance:Provides for severance pay if the NEO is terminated without "cause"“cause” as defined in the employment agreement. The severance amount is a multiple of base pay and target annual bonus. For Messrs. Martell and Sando, the multiple is two and COBRA reimbursement is provided for 24 months. For Mr.Messrs. Balas and Henry, the multiple is one and COBRA reimbursement is provided for 12 months. The NEOs are also entitled to receive payment of apro-rata portion of any annual bonus actually earned based on performance that they would have otherwise received had their employment not terminated.

    Severance Payment Timing:Severance will be paid in installments as follows:

    Messrs. Martell and Sando — Sando—First payment is made in the seventh month after separation of employment and is 7/24th24th of the total severance and equal installments thereafter for the remainder;

    Mr.

    Messrs. Balas and Henry—First payment is made in the seventh month after separation of employment and is 7/12th12th of the total severance and equal installments thereafter for the remainder.

    Release of Liability:The employment agreement requires the NEO to sign a release in exchange for severance. Moreover, the NEOs are covered by restrictive covenants such as indefinite confidentiality, cooperation in litigation and non-competition.non-competition

    (for a period of 24 months post-termination, in the case of Messrs. Martell and Sando, or for a period of 12 months post-termination, in the case of Mr. Balas; Mr. Henry is not subject to a non-competition covenant).

    Claw-backs:The employment agreement provides that the agreement is subject to "claw-back"“claw-back” under applicable law or under our claw-back policy in effect from time to time. We adopted such a recoupment or "claw-back"“claw-back” policy in March 2012 as further described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Analysis—Adjustment or Recovery of Awards (Claw-backs).

    Pension Benefits for 2017
    2019

    The following table shows the actuarial present value of the accumulated retirement benefits payable upon normal retirement age (or, for Mr. Nallathambi, payable upon his death) to each of the NEOs who participate in a pension plan, computed as of December 31, 2017.2019. The amounts disclosed are based upon benefits provided to the NEOs under our Pension Restoration Plan and our Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan. Benefit accruals were frozen under the Pension Restoration Plan as of April 30, 2008 and the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan was frozen effective December 31, 2010. We previously maintained a pension plan, which was assumed by First American Financial Corporation ("FAFC"(“FAFC”) in connection with spinning off our financial services businesses now known as FAFC on June 1, 2010 (the "Separation"“Separation”). Messrs. Martell, Balas, MartellHenry and TheologidesPinkston were not eligible to participate in the Pension Restoration Plan or the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan and therefore they are not included in the following table.

    The Pension Restoration Plan benefits generally accrue from the date of employment through the normal retirement age (as discussed below). The following assumptions were used for calculating present values: interest rate of 3.12%, post-retirement mortality perPri-2012 Table for Healthy Retirees with mortality projection using Fully Generational ScaleMP-2019, and benefit is payable as a single life annuity.

    Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan eligibility requires 10 years of service and 5 years of participation in the plan with the benefit dependent on age at retirement between 55 and 62, rather than credited years of service. The following assumptions were used for calculating present value: interest rate of 3.12% post-retirement mortality perPri-2012 “Retirees” and “Contingent Survivors” tables with white collar adjustments, projected generationally beyond 2012 usingMP-2019 Order 2 Graduation Alternative Projection Scale. Benefit is payable as a 50% joint and survivor annuity.

    The Pension Restoration Plan benefits generally accrue from the date of employment through the normal retirement age (as discussed below). The following assumptions were used for calculating present values: interest rate of 3.588%, post-retirement mortality per RP-2014 Table for Healthy Annuitants with mortality projection starting in 2006 using Fully Generational Scale MP-2017, and benefit is payable as a single life annuity.

    Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan eligibility requires 10 years of service and 5 years of participation in the plan with the benefit dependent on age at retirement between 55 and 62, rather than credited years of service. For Mr. Sando, the following assumptions were used for calculating present value: interest rate of 3.500% post-retirement mortality per RP-2014 Healthy Annuitants table without collar or amount adjustments, adjusted to remove post 2007 improvement projections, with generational projection via Scale MP-2014, modified to use a 10-year convergence period to a long-term improvement rate of 1.0% by 2017, and benefit is payable as a 50% joint and survivor annuity. For Mr. Nallathambi, the amount represents the pre-retirement death benefit in the form of a single life annuity payable to his beneficiary calculated at the time of his death using interest rate of 4.66% and UP-84 Mortality Table.

    Mr. Nallathambi passed away on March 2, 2017. The amount represents payments during 2017 to his beneficiary.

    Pension Restoration Plan

    During 1996, we adopted the Pension Restoration Plan. This plan is an unfunded,non-qualified plan designed to make up for the benefit accruals that were limited under ourtax-qualified pension plan based on compensation in excess of the amount of compensation that may be considered under federal tax law limits for qualified plans. However, in order to limit its expense, the Pension Restoration Plan does not make up for benefit accruals on compensation exceeding $275,000. The Pension Restoration Plan also makes up for benefits that could not be paid from a qualified plan because of limitations imposed by the federal tax laws. Vesting of benefits payable to an employee under the Pension Restoration Plan generally occurs upon employment through "normal“normal retirement age." "Normal” “Normal retirement age"age” is defined as the later of the employee'semployee’s attainment of age 65 or three years of service with us. The Pension Restoration Plan was effective as of January 1, 1994, but only covers selected employees who were participants in thetax-qualified pension plan formerly sponsored by us which was assumed by FAFC in connection with the


    Table of Contents

    Separation. The Pension Restoration Plan excludes pay earned after December 31, 2001. The Pension Restoration Plan was amended in February 2008 to eliminate benefit accruals for service after April 30, 2008.

    Effective January 1, 2009, to comply with Section 409A of the Code, payment of benefits under the Pension Restoration Plan commences the first of the month following a participant'sparticipant’s separation from service or six months following a participant'sparticipant’s separation from service if he is considered a specified employee. Also, benefit options under the Pension Restoration Plan include various actuarial equivalent annuity options. A participant with at least three years of service with us may elect to retire after attaining age 55, but prior to age 65, and receive reduced benefits. Benefits are reduced 1/180th for each of the first 60 months and by 1/360th for each of any additional months by which the benefit commencement date precedes the participant'sparticipant’s normal retirement date. Mr. Sando is the only NEO who participates in the Pension Restoration Plan, and he was eligible for early retirement but not normal retirement at December 31, 2017.2019.

    On June 1, 2010, in connection with spinning off the businesses now known as FAFC, the sponsorship of a portion of the Pension Restoration Plan and the liabilities under the plan were transferred to FAFC with respect to the accrued benefits for employees and former employees who were transferred to FAFC. We remain responsible for liabilities under the Pension Restoration Plan relating to the accrued benefits of employees who were not transferred to FAFC, which are now payable pursuant to the terms of the CoreLogic, Inc. Pension Restoration Plan, the successor plan to the original Pension Restoration Plan. The new plan is intended to govern the benefits payable to participants under the plan as of June 1, 2010 and is not intended to grant additional benefits to the participants in excess of their benefits accrued under the original Pension Restoration Plan.

    Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan

    The Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan provides retirement benefits for, andpre-retirement death benefits with respect to, certain key management personnel. The plan was originally adopted in 1985 and has been amended a number of times since then. Under the plan, as originally adopted, upon retirement at normal retirement date (the later of age 65 or completion of 10 years of service) the participant received a joint life and 50% survivor annuity benefit equal to 35% of "final“final average compensation." "Final” “Final average compensation"compensation” was determined for those three calendar years out of the last 10 years of employment preceding retirement in which final average compensation is the highest. Final average compensation includes base salary and commissions, cash bonuses and stock bonuses that are granted to compensate for past services (such as annual incentive bonus RSUs).

    Under the original plan, the benefit was reduced by 5% for each year prior to normal retirement date in which retirement occurs and, until age 70, increased by 5% (compounded in order to approximate the annuitized

    value of the benefit had retirement occurred at age 65) for each year after such date in which retirement occurs. With respect to such postponed retirement, the plan took into account covered compensation received until age 70, so that the retirement benefit of an executive who retires after normal retirement date is determined as the greater of the annuitized benefit or the benefit calculated using final average compensation until age 70.

    To be eligible to receive benefits under the plan, a participant must be at least age 55, have been an employee of us or one of our subsidiaries for at least 10 years and covered by the plan for at least five years. Apre-retirement death benefit is provided consisting of 10 annual payments, each of which equals 50% of final average compensation. Subject to applicable legal rules, the Board can, in its discretion, pay the participant or beneficiary in an actuarial equivalent lump sum or other form of benefit. In the event of a "change“change in control"control” (as defined in the plan) of us, a participant who retires after the change in control shall receive the same benefits as if he were retiring upon the attainment of normal retirement date.


    Table of Contents

    The Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan was amended in September 2005 to provide that participants who thereafter engage in competition with us, either during their employment with or following their departure, forfeit their right to receive any vested benefits under the plan. Competition includes the misappropriation, sale, use or disclosure of our trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information and solicitation of our customers.

    To reduce the costs of the plan to us, the plan was further amended in October 2007. Among other changes, this amendment (i) reduced the normal retirement date to the latest of age 62, the date on which the participant completes 10 years of service with us and the date on which the participant was covered, in combination, by the plan or FAC Management Supplemental Benefit Plan for five years; (ii) changed the period over which "final“final average compensation"compensation” is determined to the five calendar years preceding retirement; (iii) reduced the maximum benefit payable to a joint life and 50% survivor annuity benefit equal to 30% of final average compensation; (iv) eliminated any increased benefit for postponed retirement beyond the normal retirement date; and (v) provided for accelerated vesting only upon a change in control that is not approved by our incumbent Board. The benefit is reduced by 5.952% for each year prior to age 62 in which retirement actually occurs. Participants who were vested as of the effective date of the amendment, November 1, 2007, are entitled to receive the higher of the benefit as calculated under the amended plan and the benefit to which the participant would have been entitled had he retired on October 31, 2007.

    In connection with the Separation, we transferred sponsorship and administration of a portion of the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan to FAFC. As part of this transfer, FAFC assumed the liabilities under the portion of the plan covering employees and former employees who were transferred to FAFC. Following the Separation, we remained responsible for the liabilities under the portion of the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan relating to our employees and former employees who were not transferred to FAFC. We maintain the CoreLogic, Inc. Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan as the successor to the original Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan in satisfaction of its liabilities to such employees who were participants and accrued benefits under the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan, but were not transferred to FAFC. The CoreLogic, Inc. Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan is intended to provide future benefits for our employees on and after June 1, 2010 and is intended to govern the benefits payable to such employees both before and after June 1, 2010.

    Effective December 31, 2010, the CoreLogic, Inc. Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan was frozen and amended to, among other things: (i) close the plan to new participants; (ii) freeze the average pay calculation as of December 31, 2010 (compensation after December 31, 2010 will not be taken into consideration in calculating benefits); (iii) amend the amount and form of thepre-retirement death benefit to provide for payment to a participant'sparticipant’s designated beneficiary in an amount equal to the survivor portion of a 50% joint and survivor annuity for the life of the beneficiary, or if the participant'sparticipant’s beneficiary is someone other than the participant'sparticipant’s spouse or domestic partner, for a maximum of twenty years; and (iv) apply a proration factor to the benefit amount payable, the numerator of which is a participant'sparticipant’s service at December 31, 2010 and the denominator of which is the participant'sparticipant’s service that would have accrued as of his or her early retirement date if the participant was not early retirement eligible as of December 31, 2010.

    In addition to the amendments described above, the change of control provisions were amended to provide that participants will become 100% vested in all plan benefits upon an involuntary separation from service without good cause following a change of control. Prior to the amendment, participants became 100% vested in all plan benefits upon a change of control, regardless of whether they incurred a separation of service for any reason. Furthermore, the retirement income benefit provided to participants and commencing upon a separation from service following a change of control on the same basis as though


    Table of Contents

    they had attained normal retirement age is limited to participants who experience an involuntary separation from service without good cause following a change of control.

    As of December 31, 2017,2019, there remained three active employees, including Mr. Sando, who participate in the plan. Upon Mr. Nallathambi's death, benefits under the Plan were payable to his beneficiary. The plan is closed to new participants. As of December 31, 2017,2019, Mr. Sando was eligible for early retirement but not normal retirement. The plan is unfunded and unsecured. We have previously purchased insurance, of which we are the owner and beneficiary, on the lives of certain plan participants. This insurance is designed to offset, over the life of the plan, a portion of our costs incurred with respect to the plan.

    The Deferred Compensation Plan offers to a select group of management and highly compensated employees the opportunity to elect to defer portions of their base salary, commissions and cash bonuses. We maintain a deferral account for each participating employee on a fully vested basis for all employee deferrals. Participants can choose to have their cash benefits paid in one lump sum or in quarterly payments upon separation from service or death. Subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, participants may also elect scheduled and nonscheduledin-service withdrawals of compensation deferred prior to January 1, 2005, and the earnings and losses attributable thereto. Withdrawals of compensation deferred after December 31, 2004, and the earnings and losses attributable thereto, must be scheduled by the participant at the time the participant elects to defer such compensation.

    Participants allocate their deferrals among a variety of investment crediting options offered under the plan. The investment crediting rates are based upon the rates of return available under certain separate accounts offered through variable insurance products.


    Table of Contents

    For all participants who joined the Deferred Compensation Plan prior to December 31, 2001, the plan provides apre-retirement life insurance benefit equal to the lesser of 15 times the amount deferred in the participant'sparticipant’s first year of participation or $2 million. The life insurance benefit is reduced beginning at age 61 by 20% per year. Participants who join the plan after December 31, 2001 are not eligible for this insurance benefit. We pay a portion of the cost of such life insurance benefits. The plan is unfunded and unsecured.

    The Deferred Compensation Plan was amended in 2010 to provide for (i) Company contributions to the plan in the form of 401(k) restoration contributions and (ii) Company discretionary retirement savings contributions to a limited number of senior officers who were not eligible to participate in the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan.contributions. The amount of our 401(k) restorations contributions made to participant accounts is determined based on the amount of discretionary matching contributions that would be made under the 401(k) Plan if the participants'participants’ deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan were instead made under the 401(k) Plan, but without regard to the statutory limits that apply to the benefits that may be provided under the 401(k) Plan. There are currently no vesting limitations in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

    (2)
    Represents an amount equal to two times the sum of (i) Mr. Martell's annualized base salary in effect on the date his employment terminates (the "Severance Date") plus (ii) the target annual Incentive Bonus amount for Mr. Martell in effect on the Severance Date (the "Severance Benefit"). The Severance Benefit will be payable in a lump sum equal to 7/24 of the Severance Benefit on the seventh month after the Severance Date with an additional 1/24 of the Severance Benefit paid each month until the month which is 24 months after the Severance Date. Receipt of the benefit is contingent upon execution of a general release of claims and compliance with certain post-termination covenants, including a twenty-four month post-termination non-competition covenant, and confidentiality provisions in the employment agreement.

    (3)
    Represents three times Mr. Martell's base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination by us and three times Mr. Martell's target annual cash bonus established for fiscal year 2017. Receipt of the benefit is contingent upon execution of a general release of claims.

    (4)
    Represents the pro rata portion of Mr. Martell's annual cash bonus for fiscal year 2017. Mr. Martell's agreement provides for the payment of the pro rata portion of the bonus amount he would have received had his employment not terminated during the fiscal year. Such payment is required to be paid within two and one-half months following fiscal year end. Receipt of the benefit is contingent upon execution of a general release of claims and compliance with certain post-termination covenants, including a twenty-four month post-termination non-competition covenant, and confidentiality provisions in the employment agreement.

    (5)
    Represents the pro rata portion of Mr. Martell's target annual cash bonus for the year of termination. Mr. Martell's agreement provides for the payment of the target annual cash bonus established for fiscal year 2017. Receipt of the benefit is contingent upon execution of a general release of claims.

    (6)
    Represents the value after acceleration of outstanding unvested RSUs based on our closing stock price on December 29, 2017 of $46.21. The outstanding unvested RSUs reported above will accelerate and vest on an involuntary termination without cause (whether before or after a change in control, although not all outstanding RSUs may vest on such a termination before a change in control), retirement, death or disability. For certain terminations of employment, the accelerated vesting is subject to a requirement that Mr. Martell signs a general release of claims and complies with certain post-termination covenants, including a twenty-four month post-termination non-competition covenant, and confidentiality provisions in the employment agreement.

    (7)
    Represents the value after acceleration of all outstanding unvested PBRSUs based on our closing stock price on December 29, 2017 of $46.21. All or a pro-rata portion of outstanding unvested PBRSUs will generally accelerate on death, disability or involuntary termination without cause following a change in control, subject to attainment of the performance measures for any termination prior to a change in control. We have assumed that the target number of PBRSUs would become vested in connection with each acceleration event, although the actual number of PBRSUs that could become vested could be higher or lower than the target number of PBRSUs, based on actual performance.

    (8)
    Refers to payments accrued under the Deferred Compensation Plan as of December 31, 2017 based on Mr. Martell's salary deferral election and 401(k) restoration contributions.

    Pay Ratio Disclosure
    PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE

    Under Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) ofRegulation S-K, the Company is required to provide the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Martell who has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since March 6, 2017, to the annual total compensation of the median employee of the Company. The Company (the "Pay Ratio Disclosure").

    CoreLogic isbelieves that there have been no changes to our employee population or compensation arrangements that would result in a global companysignificant change to our pay ratio disclosure. Therefore, as permitted by RegulationS-K, we are using the same median employee as that employs nearly 6,000 people. In several of the countries in which we operate, we have a relatively small number of employees. In order to simplify our data collection efforts for conducting the Pay Ratio Disclosure analysis, we elected to apply the allowed de minimis exemption and excluded non-U.S. employees from certain countries noted below. The total number of excluded employees represented less than 5% of our population. Applying this de minimis exemption,was identified on December 31, 2017, we had 5,287 U.S. employees and 644 non-U.S. employees compared to 5,287 U.S. employees and 692 non-U.S. employees without application of the de minimis exemption.


    Table of Contents2017.

    To identify the median employee, we used the following methodology:

      We collected the full 2017 payroll data of all employees other than the Chief Executive Officer and except for our employees in Brazil, Bulgaria, France, India and the United Kingdom, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal basis, as of December 31, 2017. The number of employees in each of the excluded countries was less than 20 as of December 31, 2017.

      We annualized the compensation of all permanent full-time and part-time employees who were hired by the Company in 2017. We applied an exchange rate as of January 31, 2018, to convert all international currencies into U.S. dollars.

      We used total 2017 actual W-2 or foreign equivalent earnings as our consistently applied compensation measure (the "CACM earnings").

    Based on this methodology, we determined that the median employee was anon-exempt, full-time employee located in the U.S. with an annual total compensation of $66,976$68,504 for 2017,2019, calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) ofRegulation S-K, which includes base pay, overtime pay and the Company'sCompany’s matching contribution to that employee'semployee’s 401(k) plan.

    For the year ended December 31, 2017,2019, the total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Martell, was $5,284,199$6,566,418 as reported in the "Total"“Total” column of the 20172019 Summary Compensation Table. Since Mr. Martell was appointed Chief Executive Officer effective March 6, 2017, we applied his 2017 salary of $725,000 to the entire year, and not just the period following his promotion to Chief Executive Officer, and added the disclosed values of his bonus, stock awards and other components of "All Other Compensation" to arrive at a value of $5,298,622, used for the ratio of annual total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation for our median employee. Based on this information, for 2017,2019, the ratio of the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer to the median annual total compensation of all other employees was estimated to be 79.195.85 to 1.

    We believe that the Pay Ratio Disclosureour pay ratio disclosure presented above is a reasonable estimate. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions, the Pay Ratio Disclosureour pay ratio disclosure may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT VOTING

    Rules adopted by the SEC require our officers, as defined under the relevant SEC rules, and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding common stock, to file reports of their ownership, and changes in ownership, of our shares with the SEC on prescribed forms. Officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners are required by the SEC's rules to furnish us with copies of all such forms they file with the SEC.

    Based solely on the review of the copies of the forms received by us, or written representations from reporting persons that they were not required to file a Form 5 to report previously unreported ownership or changes in ownership, we believe that our officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners timely complied with all such filing requirements during fiscal 2017.

    What constitutes a "quorum?"
    “quorum?”

    A "quorum"“quorum” refers to the number of shares that must be represented at a meeting in order to lawfully conduct business. Holders of a majority in voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Without a quorum, no business may be transacted at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and brokernon-votes (as described below) are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.

    What is a "broker non-vote"“brokernon-vote” and how is it treated?

    If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name"“street name” by a broker and you do not submit voting instructions to your broker, your broker may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting only on "routine matters"“routine matters” (as defined by NYSE rules) on which it has discretion to vote. The NYSE currently considers only Proposal 43 — the proposal to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20182020 — to be a "routine“routine matter." The following proposals are considered "non-routine matters"“non-routine matters” under the NYSE rules:

      the election to the Board of the 1112 director nominees named in this proxy statement;

      the proposal to approve the 2018 Performance Incentive Plan; and

      the proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs.

    Accordingly, if your shares are held in "street name"“street name” and your broker has not received voting instructions from you, your broker may exercise its discretion to vote your shares on the proposal to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm, but will not be permitted to vote your shares on any of the

    other proposals at the Annual Meeting. If your broker exercises this discretion, your shares will be treated as present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing the presence or absence of a quorum and voted on the proposal to ratify the selection of PwC in the manner directed by the broker, but will constitute "broker non-votes"“brokernon-votes” on each of the other proposals at the Annual Meeting. These brokernon-votes will not be counted in determining the outcome of any of the other proposals.

    How are abstentions treated?

    For the election of directors, you may vote "for," "against,"“for,” “against,” or "abstain"“abstain” with respect to each director nominee. If you elect to "abstain"“abstain” from the election of directors, the abstention will not have any effect on the election of directors. In determining the voting results for the election of directors, only "for"“for” and "against"“against” votes count.

    For purposes of the proposals regarding the vote to approve the 2018 Plan, the vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs, and the vote to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018,2020, abstentions are treated as present and entitled to vote. Therefore, with respect to each of these proposals, abstentions have the effect of votes "AGAINST"“AGAINST” the proposal.

    As of the record date, our directors and executive officers owned approximately one percent of our shares of common stock in the aggregate that are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

    APPENDIX B

    CORELOGIC, INC.
    2018 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

    1.PURPOSE OF PLAN

    The purpose of this CoreLogic, Inc. 2018 Performance Incentive Plan (this "Plan") of CoreLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), is to promote the success of the Corporation by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons and to enhance the alignment of the interests of the selected participants with the interests of the Corporation's stockholders.

    2.ELIGIBILITY

    The Administrator (as such term is defined in Section 3.1) may grant awards under this Plan only to those persons that the Administrator determines to be Eligible Persons. An "Eligible Person" is any person who is either: (a) an officer (whether or not a director) or employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries; (b) a director of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries; or (c) an individual consultant or advisor who renders or has rendered bona fide services (other than services in connection with the offering or sale of securities of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries in a capital-raising transaction or as a market maker or promoter of securities of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries) to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and who is selected to participate in this Plan by the Administrator; provided, however, that a person who is otherwise an Eligible Person under clause (c) above may participate in this Plan only if such participation would not adversely affect either the Corporation's eligibility to use Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the offering and sale of shares issuable under this Plan by the Corporation or the Corporation's compliance with any other applicable laws. An Eligible Person who has been granted an award (a "participant") may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional awards if the Administrator shall so determine. As used herein, "Subsidiary" means any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation; and "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

    3.PLAN ADMINISTRATION

      3.1.The Administrator.    This Plan shall be administered by and all awards under this Plan shall be authorized by the Administrator. The "Administrator" means the Board or one or more committees (or subcommittees, as the case may be) appointed by the Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects of this Plan. Any such committee shall be comprised solely of one or more directors or such number of directors as may be required under applicable law. A committee may delegate some or all of its authority to another committee so constituted. The Board or a committee comprised solely of directors may also delegate, to the extent permitted by Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any other applicable law, to one or more officers of the Corporation, its authority under this Plan. The Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) may delegate different levels of authority to different committees or persons with administrative and grant authority under this Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation or the applicable charter of any Administrator: (a) a majority of the members of the acting Administrator shall constitute a quorum, and (b) the vote of a majority of the members present assuming the presence of a quorum or the unanimous written consent of the members of the Administrator shall constitute action by the acting Administrator.


    Table of Contents

      3.2.Powers of the Administrator.    Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator is authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable in connection with the authorization of awards and the administration of this Plan (in the case of a committee or delegation to one or more officers, within any express limits on the authority delegated to that committee or person(s)), including, without limitation, the authority to:

        (a)
        determine eligibility and, from among those persons determined to be eligible, determine the particular Eligible Persons who will receive an award under this Plan;

        (c)
        approve the forms of any award agreements (which need not be identical either as to type of award or among participants);

        (d)
        construe and interpret this Plan and any agreements defining the rights and obligations of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries, and participants under this Plan, make any and all determinations under this Plan and any such agreements, further define the terms used in this Plan, and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of this Plan or the awards granted under this Plan;

        (g)
        adjust the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any award, adjust the price of any or all outstanding awards or otherwise waive or change previously imposed terms and conditions, in such circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate, in each case subject to Sections 4 and 8.6 (and subject to the no repricing provision below);

        (i)
        determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof and take any other actions contemplated by Section 7 in connection with the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 7;

        (j)
        acquire or settle (subject to Sections 7 and 8.6) rights under awards in cash, stock of equivalent value, or other consideration (subject to the no repricing provision below); and

      3.3Prohibition on Repricing.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2 and except for an adjustment pursuant to Section 7.1 or a repricing approved by stockholders, in no case may the Administrator (1) amend an outstanding stock option or SAR to reduce the exercise price or base price of the award, (2) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or SAR in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the award, or (3) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or SAR in exchange for an option or SAR with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise or base price of the original award.

      3.4Binding Determinations.    Any determination or other action taken by, or inaction of, the Corporation, any Subsidiary, or the Administrator relating or pursuant to this Plan (or any award made under this Plan) and within its authority hereunder or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. Neither the Board nor any Board committee, nor any member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with this Plan (or any award made under this Plan), and all such persons shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors and officers liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time. Neither the Board nor any other Administrator, nor any member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof, nor the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be liable for any damages of a participant should an option intended as an ISO (as defined below) fail to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to ISOs, should any other award(s) fail to qualify for any intended tax treatment, should any award grant or other action with respect thereto not satisfy Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise for any tax or other liability imposed on a participant with respect to an award.

      3.5Reliance on Experts.    In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the Administrator may obtain and may rely upon the advice of experts, including employees and professional advisors to the Corporation. No director, officer or agent of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any such action or determination taken or made or omitted in good faith.

      3.6Delegation.    The Administrator may delegate ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or to third parties.

    4.SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; SHARE LIMITS

      4.1Shares Available.    Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the capital stock that may be delivered under this Plan shall be shares of the Corporation's authorized but unissued Common Stock and any shares of its Common Stock held as treasury shares. For purposes of this Plan, "Common Stock" shall mean the common stock of the Corporation and such other securities or property asmay become the subject of awards under this Plan, or may become subject to such awards, pursuant to an adjustment made under Section 7.1.

      4.2Aggregate Share Limit.    The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted to Eligible Persons under this Plan (the "Share Limit") is equal to the sum of the following:

        (1)
        3,300,000 shares of Common Stock, plus

        (2)
        the number of shares of Common Stock available for additional award grant purposes under the Corporation's Amended and Restated 2011 Performance Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan") as of the date of stockholder approval of this Plan (the "Stockholder Approval Date") and determined immediately prior to the termination of the authority to grant new awards under the 2011 Plan as of the Stockholder Approval Date, plus

        (3)
        the number of any shares subject to stock options granted under the 2011 Plan or the Corporation's 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2006 Plan") and outstanding on the Stockholder Approval Date which expire, or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, after the Stockholder Approval Date without being exercised (which, for purposes of clarity, shall become available for award grants under this Plan on a one-for-one basis), plus

        (4)
        the number of any shares subject to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2011 Plan or the 2006 Plan that are outstanding and unvested on the Stockholder Approval Date that are forfeited, terminated, cancelled or otherwise reacquired by the Corporation without having become vested, provided that in order to take the Full-Value Award ratio below into account, each share subject to any such award shall be credited as two (2) shares when determining the number of shares that shall become available for new awards under this Plan.

        provided that in no event shall the Share Limit exceed 17,039,725 shares (which is the sum of the 3,300,000 shares set forth above, plus the number of shares available under the 2011 Plan for additional award grant purposes as of the Effective Date (as such term is defined in Section 8.6.1), plus the aggregate number of shares subject to awards previously granted and outstanding under the 2011 Plan or the 2006 Plan as of the Effective Date, with any shares subject to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan or the 2006 Plan being taken into account based on the share-counting ratio for such awards under clause (4) above).

        Shares issued in respect of any "Full-Value Award" granted under this Plan shall be counted against the foregoing Share Limit as two (2) shares for every one share issued in connection with such award. (For example, if a stock bonus of 100 shares of Common Stock is granted under this Plan, 200 shares shall be counted against the Share Limit in connection with that award.) For this purpose, a "Full-Value Award" means any award that isnot a stock option grant or a stock appreciation right grant.


    Table of Contents

      4.3Additional Share Limits.    The following limits also apply with respect to awards granted under this Plan. These limits are in addition to, not in lieu of, the aggregate Share Limit in Section 4.2.

        (a)
        The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified as incentive stock options granted under this Plan is 1,000,000 shares.

        (b)
        The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to those options and stock appreciation rights that are granted under this Plan during any one calendar year to any one individual is 1,000,000 shares.

        (c)
        Awards that are granted under this Plan during any one calendar year to any person who, on the grant date of the award, is a non-employee director are subject to the following limits. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to those awards that are granted under this Plan during any one calendar year to an individual who, on the grant date of the award, is a non-employee director is the number of shares that produces a grant date fair value for the award that, when combined with the grant date fair value of any other awards granted under this Plan during that same calendar year to that individual in his or her capacity as a non-employee director, is $500,000; provided that this limit is $750,000 as to (1) a non-employee director who is serving as the Non-Executive Board Chairman or as a lead independent director at the time the applicable grant is made or (2) any new non-employee director for the calendar year in which the non-employee director is first elected or appointed to the Board. For purposes of this Section, a "non-employee director" is an individual who, on the grant date of the award, is a member of the Board who is not then an officer or employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section, "grant date fair value" means the value of the award as of the date of grant of the award and as determined using the equity award valuation principles applied in the Corporation's financial reporting. The limits of this Section apply on an individual basis and not on an aggregate basis to all non-employee directors as a group.

      4.4Share-Limit Counting Rules.    The Share Limit shall be subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.4:

        (a)
        Except as provided in Section 4.4(c) below, shares that are subject to or underlie awards granted under this Plan which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, are forfeited, fail to vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under this Plan shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan.

        (b)
        To the extent that shares of Common Stock are delivered pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right granted under this Plan, the number of underlying shares as to which the exercise related shall be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of clarity, if a stock appreciation right relates to 100,000 shares and is exercised in full at a time when the payment due to the participant is 15,000 shares, 100,000 shares shall be counted against the Share Limit with respect to such exercise.)

        (c)
        Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation as full or partial payment in connection with any stock option or stock appreciation right granted under this Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any stock option or stock appreciation right granted under this Plan, shall be counted against the Share Limit

    Table of Contents

          and shall not be available for subsequent awards under this Plan. Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation as full or partial payment in connection with any Full-Value Award granted under this Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to satisfy the statutory minimum tax withholding obligations (but not any additional tax withholding obligations) related to any Full-Value Award granted under this Plan, shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan, provided that any one (1) share so exchanged or withheld in connection with any Full-Value Award shall be credited as two (2) shares when determining the number of shares that shall again become available for subsequent awards under this Plan if, upon grant, the shares underlying the related Full-Value Award were counted as two (2) shares against the Share Limit.

        (d)
        In addition, shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation after the Stockholder Approval Date as full or partial payment in connection with any Full-Value Award granted under the 2011 Plan or 2006 Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries after the Stockholder Approval Date to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any Full-Value Award granted under the 2011 Plan or 2006 Plan, shall be available for new awards under this Plan, provided that any one (1) share so exchanged or withheld in connection with any Full-Value Award granted under the 2011 Plan or the 2006 Plan shall be credited as two (2) shares when determining the number of shares that shall become available for new awards under this Plan.

        (e)
        To the extent that an award granted under this Plan is settled in cash or a form other than shares of Common Stock, the shares that would have been delivered had there been no such cash or other settlement shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan.

        (f)
        In the event that shares of Common Stock are delivered in respect of a dividend equivalent right granted under this Plan, the number of shares delivered with respect to the award shall be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of clarity, if 1,000 dividend equivalent rights are granted and outstanding when the Corporation pays a dividend, and 100 shares are delivered in payment of those rights with respect to that dividend, 200 shares (after giving effect to the Full-Value Award premium counting rules) shall be counted against the Share Limit).

        (g)
        The Corporation may not increase the Share Limit by repurchasing shares of Common Stock on the market (by using cash received through the exercise of stock options or otherwise).

    Refer to Section 8.10 for application of the share limits of this Plan, including the limits in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, with respect to assumed awards. Each of the numerical limits and references in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, and in this Section 4.4, is subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section 4.3, Section 7 and Section 8.10. The share limits of Section 4.3 shall be applied on a one-for-one basis without applying the Full-Value Award premium counting rule taken into account in determining the Share Limit.

      4.5No Fractional Shares; Minimum Issue.    Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, no fractional shares shall be delivered under this Plan. The Administrator may pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares in settlements of awards under this Plan. The Administrator may from time to time impose a limit (of not greater than 100 shares) on the minimum number of shares that may be purchased or exercised as to awards (or any particular award) granted under this Plan unless


    Table of Contents

      (as to any particular award) the total number purchased or exercised is the total number at the time available for purchase or exercise under the award.

    5.AWARDS

      5.1Type and Form of Awards.    The Administrator shall determine the type or types of award(s) to be made to each selected Eligible Person. Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries. The types of awards that may be granted under this Plan are:

        5.1.1Stock Options.    A stock option is the grant of a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock during a specified period as determined by the Administrator. An option may be intended as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (an "ISO") or a nonqualified stock option (an option not intended to be an ISO). The agreement evidencing the grant of an option will indicate if the option is intended as an ISO; otherwise it will be deemed to be a nonqualified stock option. The maximum term of each option (ISO or nonqualified) shall be ten (10) years. The per share exercise price for each option shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. When an option is exercised, the exercise price for the shares to be purchased shall be paid in full in cash or such other method permitted by the Administrator consistent with Section 5.4.

        5.1.2Additional Rules Applicable to ISOs.    To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant of the applicable option) of stock with respect to which ISOs first become exercisable by a participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both Common Stock subject to ISOs under this Plan and stock subject to ISOs under all other plans of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries (or any parent or predecessor corporation to the extent required by and within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), such options shall be treated as nonqualified stock options. In reducing the number of options treated as ISOs to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted options shall be reduced first. To the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Administrator may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by law, designate which shares of Common Stock are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (for this purpose, the term "subsidiary" is used as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, which generally requires an unbroken chain of ownership of at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of each subsidiary in the chain beginning with the Corporation and ending with the subsidiary in question). No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time the option is granted, owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) shares of outstanding Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation, unless the exercise price of such option is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option and such option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such option is granted. If an otherwise-intended ISO fails to meet the applicable requirements of Section 422 of the Code, the option shall be a nonqualified stock option.

        5.1.3Stock Appreciation Rights.    A stock appreciation right or "SAR" is a right to receive a payment, in cash and/or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised over the "base price" of the award, which base price shall be set forth in the applicable award agreement and shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the SAR. The maximum term of a SAR shall be ten (10) years.


      Table of Contents

          5.1.4Other Awards; Dividend Equivalent Rights.    The other types of awards that may be granted under this Plan include: (a) stock bonuses, restricted stock, performance stock, stock units, restricted stock units, deferred shares, phantom stock or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, whether at a fixed or variable price (or no price) or fixed or variable ratio related to the Common Stock, and any of which may (but need not) be fully vested at grant or vest upon the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination thereof; or (b) cash awards. The types of cash awards that may be granted under this Plan include the opportunity to receive a payment for the achievement of one or more goals established by the Administrator, on such terms as the Administrator may provide, as well as discretionary cash awards. Dividend equivalent rights may be granted as a separate award or in connection with another award under this Plan; provided, however, that dividend equivalent rights may not be granted as to a stock option or SAR granted under this Plan. In addition, any dividends and/or dividend equivalents as to the unvested portion of a restricted stock award that is subject to performance-based vesting requirements or the unvested portion of a stock unit award that is subject to performance-based vesting requirements will be subject to termination and forfeiture to the same extent as the corresponding portion of the award to which they relate in the event the applicable performance-based vesting requirements are not satisfied.

        5.2Award Agreements.    Each award shall be evidenced by a written or electronic award agreement or notice in a form approved by the Administrator (an "award agreement"), and, in each case and if required by the Administrator, executed or otherwise electronically accepted by the recipient of the award in such form and manner as the Administrator may require.

        5.3Deferrals and Settlements.    Payment of awards may be in the form of cash, Common Stock, other awards or combinations thereof as the Administrator shall determine, and with such restrictions (if any) as it may impose. The Administrator may also require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the settlement of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under this Plan. The Administrator may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest or other earnings on the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferred amounts are denominated in shares.

        5.4Consideration for Common Stock or Awards.    The purchase price (if any) for any award granted under this Plan or the Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to an award, as applicable, may be paid by means of any lawful consideration as determined by the Administrator, including, without limitation, one or a combination of the following methods:

          (a)
          services rendered by the recipient of such award;

          (b)
          cash, check payable to the order of the Corporation, or electronic funds transfer;

          (c)
          notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator;

          (d)
          the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock;

          (e)
          by a reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the award; or

          (f)
          subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, pursuant to a "cashless exercise" with a third party who provides financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the purchase or exercise of awards.

      Table of Contents

        In no event shall any shares newly-issued by the Corporation be issued for less than the minimum lawful consideration for such shares or for consideration other than consideration permitted by applicable state law. Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy the exercise price of an option shall be valued at their fair market value. The Corporation will not be obligated to deliver any shares unless and until it receives full payment of the exercise or purchase price therefor and any related withholding obligations under Section 8.5 and any other conditions to exercise or purchase have been satisfied. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable award agreement, the Administrator may at any time eliminate or limit a participant's ability to pay any purchase or exercise price of any award or shares by any method other than cash payment to the Corporation.

        5.5Definition of Fair Market Value.    For purposes of this Plan, "fair market value" shall mean, unless otherwise determined or provided by the Administrator in the circumstances, the closing price (in regular trading) for a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") for the date in question or, if no sales of Common Stock were reported on the Exchange on that date, the closing price (in regular trading) for a share of Common Stock on the Exchange for the next preceding day on which sales of Common Stock were reported on the Exchange. The Administrator may, however, provide with respect to one or more awards that the fair market value shall equal the closing price (in regular trading) for a share of Common Stock on the Exchange on the last trading day preceding the date in question or the average of the high and low trading prices of a share of Common Stock on the Exchange for the date in question or the most recent trading day. If the Common Stock is no longer listed or is no longer actively traded on the Exchange as of the applicable date, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the value as reasonably determined by the Administrator for purposes of the award in the circumstances. The Administrator also may adopt a different methodology for determining fair market value with respect to one or more awards if a different methodology is necessary or advisable to secure any intended favorable tax, legal or other treatment for the particular award(s) (for example, and without limitation, the Administrator may provide that fair market value for purposes of one or more awards will be based on an average of closing prices (or the average of high and low daily trading prices) for a specified period preceding the relevant date).

        5.6Transfer Restrictions.    

          5.6.1Limitations on Exercise and Transfer.    Unless otherwise expressly provided in (or pursuant to) this Section 5.6 or required by applicable law: (a) all awards are non-transferable and shall not be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation, alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; (b) awards shall be exercised only by the participant; and (c) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to any award shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the participant.

          5.6.2Exceptions.    The Administrator may permit awards to be exercised by and paid to, or otherwise transferred to, other persons or entities pursuant to such conditions and procedures, including limitations on subsequent transfers, as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, establish in writing. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and shall not be for value (other than nominal consideration, settlement of marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are held by the Eligible Person or by the Eligible Person's family members).

          5.6.3Further Exceptions to Limits on Transfer.    The exercise and transfer restrictions in Section 5.6.1 shall not apply to: (a) transfers to the Corporation (for example, in connection with the expiration or termination of the award);


      Table of Contents

            (b)
            the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the participant's death or, if the participant has died, transfers to or exercise by the participant's beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution;

            (c)
            subject to any applicable limitations on ISOs, transfers to a family member (or former family member) pursuant to a domestic relations order if received by the Administrator;

            (d)
            if the participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers or exercises on behalf of the participant by his or her legal representative; or

            (e)
            the authorization by the Administrator of "cashless exercise" procedures with third parties who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise facilitate) the exercise of awards consistent with applicable laws and any limitations imposed by the Administrator.

        5.7International Awards.    One or more awards may be granted to Eligible Persons who provide services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States. Any awards granted to such persons may be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of any applicable sub-plans, if any, appended to this Plan and approved by the Administrator from time to time. The awards so granted need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, provided that stockholder approval of any deviation from the specific terms of this Plan is not required by applicable law or any applicable listing agency.

      6.EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE ON AWARDS

        6.1General.    The Administrator shall establish the effect (if any) of a termination of employment or service on the rights and benefits under each award under this Plan and in so doing may make distinctions based upon, inter alia, the cause of termination and type of award. If the participant is not an employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, is not a member of the Board, and provides other services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, the Administrator shall be the sole judge for purposes of this Plan (unless a contract or the award otherwise provides) of whether the participant continues to render services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and the date, if any, upon which such services shall be deemed to have terminated.

        6.2Events Not Deemed Terminations of Employment.    Unless the express policy of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator, otherwise provides, or except as otherwise required by applicable law, the employment relationship shall not be considered terminated in the case of: (a) sick leave, (b) military leave, or (c) any other leave of absence authorized by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator; provided that, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or law or the Administrator otherwise provides, such leave is for a period of not more than three months. In the case of any employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries on an approved leave of absence, continued vesting of the award while on leave from the employ of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be suspended until the employee returns to service, unless the Administrator otherwise provides or applicable law otherwise requires. In no event shall an award be exercised after the expiration of any applicable maximum term of the award.

        6.3Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status.    For purposes of this Plan and any award, if an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Corporation a termination of employment or service shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to each Eligible Person in respect of such Subsidiary who does not continue as an Eligible Person in respect of the Corporation or another Subsidiary that continues as


      Table of Contents

        such after giving effect to the transaction or other event giving rise to the change in status unless the Subsidiary that is sold, spun-off or otherwise divested (or its successor or a direct or indirect parent of such Subsidiary or successor) assumes the Eligible Person's award(s) in connection with such transaction.

      7.ADJUSTMENTS; ACCELERATION

        7.1.Adjustments.    

          (a)
          Subject to Section 7.2, upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to): any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, conversion or other reorganization; any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Common Stock; or any exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; then the Administrator shall equitably and proportionately adjust: (1) the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards (including the specific share limits, maximums and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan); (2) the number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any outstanding awards; (3) the grant, purchase, or exercise price (which term includes the base price of any SAR or similar right) of any outstanding awards; and/or (4) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any outstanding awards, in each case to the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by this Plan and the then-outstanding awards.

          (b)
          Without limiting the generality of Section 3.4, any good faith determination by the Administrator as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances pursuant to this Section 7.1, and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

        7.2Corporate Transactions—Assumption and Termination of Awards.    

          (a)
          Upon any event in which the Corporation does not survive, or does not survive as a public company in respect of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, a dissolution, merger, combination, consolidation, conversion, exchange of securities, or other reorganization, or a sale of all or substantially all of the business, stock or assets of the Corporation, in any case in connection with which the Corporation does not survive or does not survive as a public company in respect of its Common Stock), then the Administrator may make provision for a cash payment in settlement of, or for the termination, assumption, substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding awards or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the holder of any or all outstanding awards, based upon, to the extent relevant under the circumstances, the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the Common Stock upon or in respect of such event. Upon the occurrence of any event described in the preceding sentence in connection with which the Administrator has made provision for the award to be terminated (and the Administrator has not made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation or settlement of the award): (1) unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, each then-outstanding option and SAR shall become fully vested, all shares of restricted stock then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and each other award granted under this Plan that is then outstanding shall become fully vested; and (2) each award (including any award or

      Table of Contents

            portion thereof that, by its terms, does not accelerate and vest in the circumstances) shall terminate upon the related event; provided that the holder of an option or SAR shall be given reasonable advance notice of the impending termination and a reasonable opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding vested options and SARs (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting required in the circumstances) in accordance with their terms before the termination of such awards (except that in no case shall more than ten days' notice of the impending termination be required and any acceleration of vesting and any exercise of any portion of an award that is so accelerated may be made contingent upon the actual occurrence of the event).

          (b)
          Without limiting the preceding paragraph, in connection with any event referred to in the preceding paragraph or any change in control event defined in any applicable award agreement, the Administrator may, in its discretion, provide for the accelerated vesting of any award or awards as and to the extent determined by the Administrator in the circumstances.

          (c)
          For purposes of this Section 7.2, an award shall be deemed to have been "assumed" if (without limiting other circumstances in which an award is assumed) the award continues after an event referred to above in this Section 7.2, and/or is assumed and continued by the surviving entity following such event (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such event, owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a "Parent")), and confers the right to purchase or receive, as applicable and subject to vesting and the other terms and conditions of the award, for each share of Common Stock subject to the award immediately prior to the event, the consideration (whether cash, shares, or other securities or property) received in the event by the stockholders of the Corporation for each share of Common Stock sold or exchanged in such event (or the consideration received by a majority of the stockholders participating in such event if the stockholders were offered a choice of consideration); provided, however, that if the consideration offered for a share of Common Stock in the event is not solely the ordinary common stock of a successor corporation or a Parent, the Administrator may provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise or payment of the award, for each share subject to the award, to be solely ordinary common stock of the successor corporation or a Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by the stockholders participating in the event.

          (d)
          The Administrator may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding awards as it deems reasonable in the event of a cash or property settlement and, in the case of options, SARs or similar rights, but without limitation on other methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event over the exercise or base price of the award. In the case of an option, SAR or similar right as to which the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event is less than or equal to the exercise or base price of the award, the Administrator may terminate such award in connection with an event referred to in this Section 7.2 without any payment in respect of such award.

          (e)
          In any of the events referred to in this Section 7.2, the Administrator may take such action contemplated by this Section 7.2 prior to such event (as opposed to on the occurrence of such event) to the extent that the Administrator deems the action necessary to permit the participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may deem an acceleration and/or termination to occur immediately prior to the applicable event and, in such circumstances, will reinstate the original terms of the award if an event giving rise to an acceleration and/or termination does not occur.

        Table of Contents

            (f)
            Without limiting the generality of Section 3.4, any good faith determination by the Administrator pursuant to its authority under this Section 7.2 shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

            (g)
            The Administrator may override the provisions of this Section 7.2 by express provision in the award agreement and may accord any Eligible Person a right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the award agreement or otherwise, in such circumstances as the Administrator may approve. The portion of any ISO accelerated in connection with an event referred to in this Section 7.2 (or such other circumstances as may trigger accelerated vesting of the award) shall remain exercisable as an ISO only to the extent the applicable $100,000 limitation on ISOs is not exceeded. To the extent exceeded, the accelerated portion of the option shall be exercisable as a nonqualified stock option under the Code.

        8.OTHER PROVISIONS

          8.1Compliance with Laws.    This Plan, the granting and vesting of awards under this Plan, the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, and/or the payment of money under this Plan or under awards are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, state and federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities under this Plan will, if requested by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, provide such assurances and representations to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements.

          8.2No Rights to Award.    No person shall have any claim or rights to be granted an award (or additional awards, as the case may be) under this Plan, subject to any express contractual rights (set forth in a document other than this Plan) to the contrary.

          8.3No Employment/Service Contract.    Nothing contained in this Plan (or in any other documents under this Plan or in any award) shall confer upon any Eligible Person or other participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other service or affect an employee's status as an employee at will, nor shall interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to change a person's compensation or other benefits, or to terminate his or her employment or other service, with or without cause. Nothing in this Section 8.3, however, is intended to adversely affect any express independent right of such person under a separate employment or service contract other than an award agreement.

          8.4Plan Not Funded.    Awards payable under this Plan shall be payable in shares or from the general assets of the Corporation, and no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment of such awards. No participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock, except as expressly otherwise provided) of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries by reason of any award hereunder. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any related documents), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and any participant, beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a participant, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to any award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.


        Table of Contents

          8.5Tax Withholding.    Upon any exercise, vesting, or payment of any award, or upon the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO prior to satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or upon any other tax withholding event with respect to any award, arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation shall be made to provide for any taxes the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries may be required or permitted to withhold with respect to such award event or payment. Such arrangements may include (but are not limited to) any one of (or a combination of) the following:

            (a)
            The Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to require the participant (or the participant's personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes which the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be required or permitted to withhold with respect to such award event or payment.

            (b)
            The Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash (whether related to the award or otherwise) to the participant (or the participant's personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) the amount of any taxes which the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be required or permitted to withhold with respect to such award event or payment.

            (c)
            In any case where a tax is required to be withheld in connection with the delivery of shares of Common Stock under this Plan, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (subject to Section 8.1) require or grant (either at the time of the award or thereafter) to the participant the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject to such conditions as the Administrator may establish, that the Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of shares, valued in a consistent manner at their fair market value or at the sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for cashless exercises, necessary to satisfy any applicable withholding obligation on exercise, vesting or payment.

          8.6Effective Date, Termination and Suspension, Amendments.    

            8.6.1    Effective Date.    This Plan is effective as of March 7, 2018, the date of its approval by the Board (the "Effective Date"). This Plan shall be submitted for and subject to stockholder approval no later than twelve months after the Effective Date. Unless earlier terminated by the Board and subject to any extension that may be approved by stockholders, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the day before the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. After the termination of this Plan either upon such stated termination date or its earlier termination by the Board, no additional awards may be granted under this Plan, but previously granted awards (and the authority of the Administrator with respect thereto, including the authority to amend such awards) shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan.

        Table of Contents

            8.6.4    Amendments to Awards.    Without limiting any other express authority of the Administrator under (but subject to) the express limits of this Plan, the Administrator by agreement or resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on awards to participants that the Administrator in the prior exercise of its discretion has imposed, without the consent of a participant, and (subject to the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 8.6.5) may make other changes to the terms and conditions of awards. Any amendment or other action that would constitute a repricing of an award is subject to the no-repricing provision of Section 3.3.

            8.6.5    Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards.    No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan or amendment of any outstanding award agreement shall, without written consent of the participant, affect in any manner materially adverse to the participant any rights or benefits of the participant or obligations of the Corporation under any award granted under this Plan prior to the effective date of such change. Changes, settlements and other actions contemplated by Section 7 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 8.6.

          8.7Privileges of Stock Ownership.    Except as otherwise expressly authorized by the Administrator, a participant shall not be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually delivered to and held of record by the participant. Except as expressly required by Section 7.1 or otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights as a stockholder for which a record date is prior to such date of delivery.

          8.8Governing Law; Severability.

            8.8.1    Choice of Law.    This Plan, the awards, all documents evidencing awards and all other related documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding any Delaware or other conflict of law provision to the contrary.

            8.8.2    Severability.    If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Plan shall continue in effect.

          8.9Captions.    Captions and headings are given to the sections and subsections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Plan or any provision thereof.

          8.10Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Stock Options or Awards Granted by Other Corporation.    Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons in substitution for or in connection with an assumption of employee stock options, SARs, restricted stock or other stock-based awards granted by other entities to persons who are or who will become Eligible Persons in respect of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, in connection with a distribution, merger or other reorganization by or with the granting entity or an affiliated entity, or the acquisition by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, of all or a substantial part of the stock or assets of the employing entity. The awards so granted need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, provided the awards reflect adjustments giving effect to the assumption or substitution consistent with any conversion applicable to the common stock (or the securities otherwise subject to the award) in the transaction and any change in the issuer of the security. Any shares that are delivered and any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation, as a result of the assumption by the Corporation of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted or assumed by an acquired company (or previously granted or assumed by a predecessor employer (or direct or indirect parent thereof) in the case of persons that become employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries in connection

          with a business or asset acquisition or similar transaction) shall not be counted against the Share Limit or other limits on the number of shares available for issuance under this Plan.

          8.11Non-Exclusivity of Plan.    Nothing in this Plan shall limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Board or the Administrator to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Common Stock, under any other plan or authority.

          8.12No Corporate Action Restriction.    The existence of this Plan, the award agreements and the awards granted hereunder shall not limit, affect, or restrict in any way the right or power of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (or any of their respective shareholders, boards of directors or committees thereof (or any subcommittees), as the case may be) to make or authorize: (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the capital structure or business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (b) any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the capital stock (or the rights thereof) of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (f) any other award, grant, or payment of incentives or other compensation under any other plan or authority (or any other action with respect to any benefit, incentive or compensation), or (g) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Corporation or any Subsidiary. No participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any claim under any award or award agreement against any member of the Board or the Administrator, or the Corporation or any employees, officers or agents of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action. Awards need not be structured so as to be deductible for tax purposes.

          8.13Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs.    Payments and other benefits received by a participant under an award made pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participant's compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or arrangements, if any, provided by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except where the Administrator expressly otherwise provides or authorizes in writing. Awards under this Plan may be made in addition to, in combination with, as alternatives to or in payment of grants, awards or commitments under any other plans, arrangements or authority of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

          8.14Clawback Policy.    The awards granted under this Plan are subject to the terms of the Corporation's recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of awards or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the awards (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the awards).
