(4) Annual restricted stock and stock option awards approved by the Compensation Committee are based upon performance measures achieved during the prior year. Additionally, as a retention tool, grants to NEOs are typically time-based, vesting over a three year period from the date of grant. According to the Stock Incentive Plans, fair market value that is used to determine the exercise price for option grants is defined as the NASDAQ closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Shares of restricted stock (including RSUs) granted to NEOs and options granted during 2013 vest 1/3rd on the first anniversary of the grant date, 1/3rd on the second anniversary of the grant date and 1/3rd on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Summary of the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended

The following summary of the 2010 Plan, as amended by the Second Amendment (the “2010 Plan”), does not purport to be a complete description of all provisions of the 2010 Plan and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the complete text of (i) the 2010 Plan, which was filed as Annex A to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Form DEF 14-A filed on April 8, 2010, (ii) the First Amendment to the 2010 Plan, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 7, 2012, and (iii) the Second Amendment to the 2010 plan, which was filed as Annex A to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Form DEF 14-A filed on April 21, 2015.

The 2010 Plan authorizes the Company to grant various awards (“Awards”) to employees (including officers and directors who are employees) of the Company or its subsidiaries and to individuals who are performing services for those entities (including consultants and directors who are not employees of the Company), including: (i) incentive stock options (“ISOs”), (ii) nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”), (iii) deferred compensation stock options (“DCSOs”), (iv) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), (v) restricted stock grants (“Restricted Stock Grants”), and (vi) restricted unit grants (“Restricted Unit Grants”); provided, however, that individuals who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries may be granted only NSOs.

Administration . The 2010 Plan shall be administered by a Compensation Committee of the board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) that will have sole authority to construe and interpret the 2010 Plan, to select participants (“Participants”), to grant Awards and to establish the terms and conditions of Awards. The Compensation Committee is allowed to give the Company’s chief executive officer specifically limited written authority to grant awards to new employees. A member of the Compensation Committee is not eligible to receive an Award under the 2010 Plan, unless the member recuses himself from voting on an Award to him and a majority of the remaining members of the Compensation Committee vote for such Award.

Eligibility . Any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any officer or director who is an employee, or any person performing services for the Company or its subsidiaries (including a consultant to, or a director who is not an employee of the Company, but only insofar as NSOs are concerned), is eligible to receive an Award under the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan sets forth various restrictions upon exercise of an Award.

Table of Contents

Shares Subject to the 2010 Plan . The maximum number of shares of common stock in respect of which Awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan is 9,950,000, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a reorganization, stock split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other change in capitalization of the Company affecting its common stock. The maximum number of shares subject to an Award that may be granted to a Participant in any calendar year is 695,000.

Term of the 2010 Plan . The 2010 Plan will expire on January 1, 2020, except with respect to Awards then outstanding, and no Award may be granted under the Plan after that date.

Amendment and Termination of Plan . The board of directors, without the further approval of the stockholders, may at any time suspend or terminate the 2010 Plan, in whole or in part, or amend it from time to time. No termination, suspension or amendment of the 2010 Plan shall adversely affect the rights of a Participant under any Award without such Participant’s consent.

Termination of Employment or other Relationships . In the event that a Participant’s employment or other relationship with the Company or any subsidiary is terminated by reason of death, or the Participant dies within one year after termination due to disability or within three months after the termination for reason other than disability, any Award held by the Participant immediately prior to his or her death may generally be exercised, to the extent that the Award is vested, by the legal representative of the Participant’s estate or any person who acquired the Award by will or laws of descent and distribution for the shorter of one year from the date of the Participant’s death or the expiration of the stated term of the Award. In the event that a Participant’s employment or other relationship with the Company or any subsidiary is terminated by reason of disability, any Award held by the Participant immediately prior to the date of the Participant’s disability may generally be exercised, to the extent that the Award is vested, by the Participant for the shorter of one year from the date of disability or the expiration of the stated term of the Award. In the event that a Participant’s employment or other relationship with the Company is terminated for any reason other than death or disability, any Award held by the Participant immediately prior to his or her termination may be exercised by the Participant, to the extent that the Award is vested, for the shorter of three months from the date of such termination or the expiration of the stated term of the Award. Upon the retirement of a Participant, if the Participant continues or begins to serve as a director, the Participant may continue to hold any previously granted Awards under the original terms thereof. Notwithstanding the above, the Compensation Committee also has the discretion to accelerate the vesting or exercisabilty of Awards in the event of the retirement, death, disability or other termination of a Participant, provided however, that in the case of ISOs the conditions under which post-termination exercises will be permitted in all events will be in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Incentive Stock Options . Options designated as ISOs within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, may be granted for a stated number of shares. To the extent that any portion of an ISO that first becomes exercisable by any Participant (under all of the stock option plans of the Company or its subsidiaries) during any calendar year exceeds the $100,000 aggregate fair market value limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code, or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code, such excess portion shall be treated as a NSO.

Nonqualified Stock Options . NSOs may be granted for a stated number of shares of common stock and will be exercisable for such period or periods as the Compensation Committee shall determine. Holders of NSOs may elect to have the Company withhold from shares to be delivered upon exercise of a NSO, shares whose fair market value satisfies withholding taxes attributable to the exercise of the NSOs.

Exercisability of Options . ISOs and NSOs will become exercisable in installments as determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, if not otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, ISOs and NSOs may be exercised as to one-third (1/3 rd ) of the shares covered thereby beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, as to one-third (1/3 rd ) on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to one-third (1/3 rd ) on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price for options may be paid in cash; by certified or cashier’s check; by money order or by personal check (if approved by the Compensation Committee); if permitted by the Compensation Committee, by delivery of shares of common stock already owned by the Participant for more than six months, which shares, including any cash tendered therewith, have an aggregate fair market value equal to the exercise price.

The Compensation Committee may permit payment by delivery of a properly executed notice, together with a copy of the Participant’s irrevocable instruction to a broker acceptable to the Compensation Committee to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds sufficient to pay the exercise price.

Term of Options . The term of each ISO and NSO shall be fixed by the Compensation Committee; provided, however, that the term of each ISO will be for a period not exceeding ten years from the date of grant thereof, and provided further, that in the case of any ISO granted to a Participant who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (“Ten Percent Stockholder”), the term of the ISO shall not exceed five years from the date the ISO is granted.

Table of Contents

Option Exercise Prices . NSOs and DCSOs may be issued at any exercise price that the Compensation Committee determines. The exercise price of an ISO, or of any option intended to comply with the performance-based compensation exception to the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code, shall be at least one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant to a Ten Percent Stockholder.

Transferability . The Compensation Committee may allow transfer of NSOs to immediate family members, trusts and partnerships for their benefit or owned by them, or to charitable trusts created or controlled by the Participant. Options held by transferees are subject to the same restrictions and forfeiture upon termination of employment applicable to the Original Option holder. ISOs are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Deferred Compensation Stock Options . DCSOs are designed to provide a means by which compensation payments can be deferred to future dates. Deferred compensation may include amounts awarded under the 2010 Plan or any other compensation plan or program of the Company. The number of shares subject to a DCSO will be determined by the Compensation Committee using the following formula:

Amount of Compensation to be Deferred      =     Number of Shares

FMV-Stock Option Exercise Price

DCSOs will be exercisable for such period or periods as the Compensation Committee determines.

Stock Appreciation Rights . The Compensation Committee may grant an Award of SARs that entitles a Participant to receive an amount in cash, by certified or cashier’s check, shares of common stock, DCSOs, or any combination thereof, which is determined by multiplying the number of shares of common stock as to which the SAR is being exercised by an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee may establish procedures for exercise and restrictions regarding the dates on which SARs may be exercised, but in no event will SARs be exercisable before the first anniversary date of the date of grant.

Stock Grants, Restricted Stock Grants and Restricted Unit Grants . The Compensation Committee may in its discretion grant shares of common stock to a Participant with or without restrictions, vesting requirements or other conditions. A Restricted Stock Grant is an Award of shares of the Company’s common stock that does not vest until certain conditions established by the Compensation Committee have been satisfied. A Restricted Unit Grant is an Award of “units” subject to similar vesting conditions, each unit having a fair value equal either to a share of common stock or the amount by which a share of common stock appreciates in value between the date of grant and the date at which any restrictions lapse. At a minimum, a Restricted Stock Grant or Restricted Unit Grant will provide that in order for a Participant to vest in the award, the Participant must continuously provide services for the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to relief for specified reasons, for a period of not less than two years (or one year if such Award is performance-based) commencing on the date the Award is granted (the “Registration Period”). During the Restriction Period, a Participant may vote and receive dividends on the shares of common stock awarded pursuant to a Restricted Stock Grant, but may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber such shares. In the event that a Participant’s employment (or other relationship) with the Company (or any of its affiliates) is terminated for any reason during the Restriction Period, the Participant’s Award, to the extent still restricted, may vest or be forfeited as determined by the Compensation Committee upon or after grant. When the Restriction Period expires or the restriction with respect to installments of shares lapses, the Participant is entitled to receive (1) with respect to a Restricted Stock Grant, shares of common stock free and clear of restrictions on sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other encumbrances, or (2) with respect to a Restricted Unit Grant, payment for the value of the units.

Deductibility under Section 162(m) . The 2010 Plan is designed to provide that all options, SARs, and other Awards granted under the 2010 Plan that are conditioned on performance goals as described below, may be excluded from the calculation of annual compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m) and may be fully deductible. While the Compensation Committee believes it is important to preserve the deductibility of compensation under Code Section 162(m) generally, there is no guarantee that the performance-based compensation exemption would be available in any particular circumstance, and the Board and the Compensation Committee reserve the right to grant or approve awards or compensation that is non-deductible.

Performance Based Awards . A performance award (whether granted as a performance share or a performance unit) consists of a grant made subject to the attainment of one or more performance goals for a specified performance period (as determined by the Plan Administrator) and may be intended to meet the requirements of qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Performance awards will only be earned by participants if the performance goals are met for the performance period. At the discretion of the Plan Administrator and as prescribed in

the award agreement, payment may be made in the form of cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares. Incentive awards consist of grants denominated in cash and may be intended to meet the requirements of qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan Administrator will determine the performance goals applicable to the payout for incentive awards to Covered Employees for each performance period. The Compensation Committee cannot adjust an incentive award upward for a Covered Employee, but retains the discretion to adjust the incentive award downward. At the discretion of the Plan Administrator, payment of incentive awards may be made in cash and/or other equity-based awards as provided under the 2010 Plan and will be paid no later than March 15 following the end of the calendar year for which the incentive awards are applicable.

For any awards intended to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the grant or vesting of such awards may be based upon one or more performance goals that apply to the specified participant, one or more business units of the company, or the Company as a whole. Prior to the payment of any award based on the achievement of performance goals intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Compensation Committee must certify in writing that the applicable performance goals and any material terms were, in fact, satisfied. The business criteria on which Performance Goals intended to qualify compensation as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code may be based are set forth in the 2010 Plan, any of which may be measured with respect to us, or any subsidiary, affiliate or other business unit of the Company, either in absolute terms, terms of growth or as compared to any incremental increase, as compared to results of a peer group. The Compensation Committee will define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the performance criteria it selects to use for the awards. With regard to a particular performance period, the committee will have the discretion to select the length of the performance period, the type of performance-based awards to be granted, and the goals that will be used to measure the performance for the period. In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the committee may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the initial award. Generally, a participant will have to be employed by or providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on the date the performance-based award is paid to be eligible for a performance-based award for any period. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments shall be made to one or more of the Performance Goals to reflect certain changes, including reorganizations, liquidations, and capitalization and accounting changes

For all awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation, such determinations will be made by the organization and Compensation Committee within the time prescribed by, and otherwise in compliance with, Section 162(m) of the Code.

Change of Control . In the event of a proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company, all then unexercised options will, upon written notice from the Compensation Committee, become exercisable in full at least ten business days prior to the effective date of the liquidation or dissolution and terminate upon the liquidation or dissolution to the extent then unexercised. The board of directors may specify the effect of a liquidation or dissolution on any other Award at the time such Award is granted.

In the event of an Acquisition Event (as defined below) or the Company’s execution of an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Event (regardless of whether such event also constitutes a Change in Control Event (as defined below)), the board of directors will provide that all outstanding stock options will be assumed, or equivalent stock options will be substituted, by the acquiring corporation or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof). However, if in an Acquisition Event, the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) does not agree to assume, or substitute for, such stock options, then the board of directors will provide that all then unexercised stock options will become exercisable in full as of a specified time prior to the acquisition and any unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition Event. With respect to other types of Awards, the board of directors will specify the effect of an Acquisition Event that is not also a Change in Control Event, at the time such Award is granted.

In case of a Change in Control Event (regardless of whether such event is also an Acquisition Event), unless there is an agreement between the Company and the Participants that specifically provides otherwise, the outstanding Awards will be accelerated in part so that one-half of the Awards that would otherwise have become vested after the date of the Change in Control Event will become exercisable or realizable immediately. The remaining one-half of the Awards will continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each outstanding Award will become exercisable in full if, on or before the first anniversary of the Change in Control Event, the Participant’s employment (or other relationship) is terminated by the Participant for good reason or is terminated by the Company without cause.

An “Acquisition Event” means (i) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity which results in the Company’s common stock being converted into or exchanged for the right to receive cash, securities or other property of the other entity; or (ii) any exchange of shares of the Company for cash, securities or other property in connection with an exchange transaction.

Table of Contents

A “Change in Control Event” means (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (ii) the acquisition by a person or group of the beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company representing 50% or more of either (x) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (y) the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); or (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or share exchange involving the Company (a “Business Combination”) if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Business Combination beneficially own, immediately after the Business Combination, 50% or more of either the Outstanding Company Common Stock or the Outstanding Company Voting Securities. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, a Change in Control Event will not include an acquisition directly from the Company (other than an acquisition pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security, unless such security was acquired directly from the Company or an underwriter or agent of the Company); any acquisition by an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company (or any corporation controlled by the Company); or a Business Combination.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief description of the federal income tax treatment that will generally apply to awards made under the 2010 Plan, based on federal income tax laws currently in effect. The summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign income and other tax consequences. The exact federal income tax treatment of an award will depend on the specific nature and form of such award.

Incentive Stock Options . An employee generally will not recognize taxable income upon grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. However, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date of an incentive stock option exceeds the purchase price generally will constitute an item of adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes, and may therefore result in alternative minimum tax liability to the option holder. Incentive stock option tax treatment will be available only if the participant has been an employee of Warren or its subsidiaries within three months of the date of exercise. Warren will not be entitled to any business expense deduction on the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If the employee has held the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option for at least two years after the date of grant and for at least one year after the date of exercise, upon disposition of the shares by the employee, the difference, if any, between the sales price of the shares and the exercise price of the option will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss. If the employee does not satisfy these holding period requirements (a “disqualifying disposition”), the employee will generally recognize ordinary income for the year of disposition, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the option was exercised over the option exercise price (or, if less, the amount realized upon disposition over the exercise price). Any excess of the amount realized by the employee on the disqualifying disposition over the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the option will be a short-term capital gain. Warren generally will be entitled to a deduction in the year of disposition equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee. The employee’s basis in the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is equal to the exercise price paid, plus any amount includible as ordinary income as a result of a disqualifying disposition. A subsequent disqualifying disposition of shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option will eliminate the alternative minimum taxable income adjustment if the disposition occurs in the same taxable year as the exercise. A disqualifying disposition in a subsequent taxable year will not affect the alternative minimum tax computation in the earlier year.

Nonqualified Stock Options . An employee will not recognize any income at the time of grant of a nonqualified stock option and Warren will not be entitled to a tax deduction with respect to such grant. Generally, upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the employee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the option. Subject to any deduction limitation under Section 162(m) of the Code (which is discussed below), Warren will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in the year of exercise in the same amount as the taxable compensation recognized by the employee. The employee’s basis in the stock for purposes of measuring the amount of gain will be the exercise price paid to Warren plus the amount of compensation includible in income at the time of exercise. An employee’s subsequent disposition of shares acquired upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option will ordinarily result in long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period of the shares.

Generally, the shares received on exercise of an option or stock appreciation right under the 2010 Plan are not subject to restrictions on transfer or risks of forfeiture and, therefore, the participant will recognize income on the date of exercise of a nonqualified stock option or stock appreciation right. However, if the optionee is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Section 16(b) restriction will be considered a substantial risk of forfeiture for tax purposes. Under current law, employees who are either directors or officers of the Company will be subject to restrictions under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act during their term of service and for up to six months after termination of service. Exchange Act Rule 16b-3 provides an exemption from the restrictions of Section 16(b) for the grant of derivative securities, such as stock options, under qualifying plans. The 2010 Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.

Table of Contents

Therefore, the grant of awards will not be considered a purchase and the exercise of the awards to acquire the underlying shares of the Company common stock will not be considered a purchase or a sale. Thus, ordinary income will be recognized and measured on the date of exercise.

Payment of Option Exercise Price in Shares . If a nonqualified option is exercised by tendering previously owned shares of Warren common stock in payment of the exercise price, then, instead of the treatment described above, the tender generally will not be considered a taxable disposition of the previously owned shares and no gain or loss will be recognized with respect to the equivalent number of new shares (the “exchanged shares”) acquired at the time of exercise. The employee’s basis and holding period for the exchanged shares will be the same as the previously owned shares exchanged. The employee will, however, have ordinary income equal to the fair market value on the date of exercise of the new additional shares received in excess of the number of exchanged shares. The employee’s basis in the new additional shares will be equal to the amount of such compensation income and the holding period will begin on the date of exercise. However, if an incentive stock option is exercised by tendering previously owned shares of Warren common stock in payment of the exercise price, if the previously owned shares were acquired on the exercise of an incentive stock option and have not satisfied statutory holding period requirements, a disqualifying disposition will occur and the employee will recognize income and be subject to other basis allocation and holding period adjustments with respect to the exchanged shares.

Stock Appreciation Rights and Performance Awards . When stock appreciation rights are exercised or when performance awards are settled or paid, the amount of cash and the fair market value of property received by the employee (including shares) will be ordinary income, unless the property is subject to transfer restrictions or forfeiture.

Restricted Stock . Restricted Stock granted under the 2010 Plan may, in the determination of the Plan Administrator, be subject to rights of repurchase, forfeiture and other transfer restrictions. The tax consequences of stock granted under the 2010 Plan depends on whether the stock is subject to restrictions and, if so, whether the restrictions are deemed to create a “substantial risk of forfeiture” under Section 83 of the Code (for example, stock granted under the 2010 Plan that is subject to forfeiture if the employee terminates employment prior to the time the restrictions lapse, which right lapses over a period of continued employment, is considered a “substantial risk of forfeiture” under Section 83 of the Code). If stock is not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture,” the employee normally will recognize taxable ordinary income equal to the value of the stock on the date on which the stock is granted less any amount paid for that stock. If the stock is subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture,” the employee normally will recognize taxable ordinary income as and when the “substantial risk of forfeiture” lapses in the amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time they are no longer subject to the “substantial risk of forfeiture” less the amount paid for the stock. Upon disposition of the stock, the employee will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the selling price and the sum of the amount paid for the stock plus any amount recognized as ordinary income upon grant or vesting of the stock. The gain or loss will be long- or short-term depending on how long the employee held the stock.

A recipient of stock subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” may make an election under Code Section 83(b) to recognize ordinary income on the date the employee receives the restricted stock, rather than waiting until the “substantial risk of forfeiture” lapses. If the employee makes a Section 83(b) election, the employee will be required to recognize as ordinary income on the date the employee receives the stock grant the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the stock on the award date and the purchase price paid. If the employee makes a Section 83(b) election, the employee will not be required to recognize any income when the “substantial risk of forfeiture” lapses.

The shares acquired will have a cost basis equal to the fair market value on the date the restrictions lapse (or the date of grant if a Section 83(b) election is made). When the employee disposes of the shares acquired, any amount received in excess of the share’s cost basis will be treated as long- or short-term capital gain, depending upon the holding period of the shares. If the amount the employee receives is less than the cost basis of the shares, the loss will be treated as long- or short-term capital loss, depending upon the holding period of the shares.

Other Awards. In addition to the types of awards described above, the 2010 Plan authorizes certain other awards that may include payments in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock. The tax consequences of such awards will depend upon the specific terms of such awards. Generally, however, a participant who receives an award payable in cash will recognize ordinary income with respect to such award at the earliest time at which the participant has an unrestricted right to receive the amount of the cash payment, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction at that time. In general, the sale or grant of stock to a participant under the 2010 Plan will be a taxable event at the time of the sale or grant if such stock at that time is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or is transferable within the meaning of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code in the hands of the participant. (For such purposes, stock is ordinarily considered to be transferable if it can be transferred to another person who takes the stock free of any substantial risk of forfeiture.) In such case, the participant will recognize ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction, equal to the excess of the fair market value of such stock on the date of the sale or grant over the amount, if any, paid for such stock. Stock that at the time of receipt by a participant is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and that is not transferable within the meaning of Section 83 generally will be taxed under the rules applicable to Restricted Stock as described above.

Other Tax Issues. The terms of awards granted under the 2010 Plan may provide for accelerated vesting or payment of an award in connection with a change of control of the Company. In that event and depending upon the individual circumstances of the recipient, certain amounts with respect to such awards may constitute “excess parachute payments” under the “golden parachute” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to these provisions, a participant will be subject to a 20% excise tax on any “excess parachute payments” and the Company will be denied any deduction with respect to such payment.

In general, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a $1,000,000 limit on the amount of compensation that may be deducted by the Company in any tax year with respect to the Company’s named executive officers, including any compensation relating to an award granted under the 2010 Plan. Compensation that is considered to be performance-based will not have to be taken into account for purposes of the $1,000,000 limitation, and accordingly, should be deductible by the Company without limitation under Section 162(m). Provided an option is approved by a committee comprised of two or more “outside directors,” has an exercise price of at least fair market value on the date of grant, the plan under which the option is granted imposes a per person limit on the number of shares covered by awards and the material terms of the plan under which the option is granted have been disclosed to and approved by stockholders, any compensation deemed paid by the Company in connection with the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock option shares or the exercise of non-statutory options will qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m). An award may also qualify as performance-based compensation if the administrator conditions the grant, vesting, or exercisability of such an award on the attainment of a pre-established objective performance goal.

If any award granted under the 2010 Plan is considered deferred compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, then certain requirements must be met for the deferral to be effective for federal tax purposes. These requirements include: ensuring that any election to defer made by the employee is done within the time period(s) permitted by Section 409A; certain limitations on distributions; and, the prohibition of accelerating the time or schedule of any payment of deferred amounts except in certain permitted circumstances. If these requirements are not met, the employee will be immediately taxable on such purportedly deferred amounts, a penalty of 20% of such amounts deferred after December 31, 2004 will be imposed, and interest will accrue at the underpayment rate plus one percent on the underpayments that would have occurred had the compensation been includible in the taxable year in which first deferred or, if later, the first taxable year in which such deferred compensation is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

The taxable income resulting from awards under the 2010 Plan, other than incentive stock options, will constitute wages subject to withholding and the Company will be required to make whatever arrangements are necessary to ensure that funds equaling the amount of tax required to be withheld are available for payment, including the deduction of required withholding amounts from the employee’s other compensation and requiring payment of withholding amounts as part of the exercise price or as a condition to receiving shares pursuant to an award. The Company will generally be required to withhold applicable taxes with respect to any ordinary income recognized by a participant in connection with awards made under the 2010 Plan. Whether or not such withholding is required, the Company will report such information to the Internal Revenue Service as may be required with respect to any income attributable to transactions involving awards.

Dividends paid on the restricted shares prior to the lapse of restrictions will be taxable as additional compensation income to the recipient in the year received and subject to withholding.

New Plan Benefits and Previously Awarded Options

The awards, if any, that will be made to eligible persons under the 2010 Plan are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and, therefore, we cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to awards that may be granted in the future to our executive officers, employees and directors under the 2010 Plan. Therefore, a New Plan Benefits Table is not provided.

Outstanding Equity Awards as of December 31, 2015

The following table reflects outstanding stock option awards classified as exercisable and unexercisable as of December 31, 2015 for each of the below officers. The table also reflects unvested and unearned stock awards assuming a market value of $0.21 a share (the closing stock price of the Company’s stock on December 31, 2015).

Executive Severance Plan

In December 2015, the Company adopted the Warren Resources, Inc. First Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”), which offers severance payments to our executives upon certain involuntary terminations of employment.

The payments under the Executive Severance Plan for the CEO of the Company may be summarized as follows:

 

    Upon an involuntary termination of employment without cause occurring in the absence of a change in control of the Company, the Executive Severance Plan provides a lump sum severance payment equal to two years of the executive’s base salary and reimbursement for up to nine months of Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) benefits.

 

    In the event there is a change in control of the Company and employment is involuntarily terminated without cause within two years thereafter, the Executive Severance Plan provides a lump sum severance payment equal to the sum of two and a half years of the executive’s base salary, the average of the executive’s incentive bonus for the three years preceding termination (excluding any bonus paid in 2016), and reimbursement for up to nine months of COBRA benefits.

The payments under the Executive Severance Plan for Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents may be summarized as follows:

 

    Upon an involuntary termination of employment without cause occurring in the absence of a change in control of the Company, the Executive Severance Plan provides a lump sum severance payment equal to one year of the executive’s base salary and the pro-rated portion of the executive’s current year incentive bonus.

 

    In the event there is a change in control of the Company and employment is involuntarily terminated without cause within two years thereafter, the Executive Severance Plan provides a lump sum severance payment equal to the sum of two years of the executive’s base salary, the average of the executive’s incentive bonus for the three years preceding termination, and the pro-rated portion of the executive’s current year incentive bonus.

The Executive Severance Plan does not provide for any accelerated vesting or other enhancement of terms with respect to any of the outstanding equity awards held by our executive officers. The terms of the change in control agreements and offer letters that entitle employees to accelerated vesting or enhanced terms are set forth separately under the discussion of “NEO Employment Arrangements.”

We maintain the Executive Severance Plan to enhance our executives’ dedication, objectivity, and productivity and encourage retention in the event of an actual or threatened change in control. The Executive Severance Plan better aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders by enabling our executive officers to consider corporate transactions that are in the best interests of our stockholders and other stakeholders without undue concern over whether a transaction may jeopardize their employment.

Certain Beneficial Owners

N/A.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership (“Form 3”) and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company (“Form 4”). Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders of the Company are required by SEC rules to furnish to the Company copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all reporting obligations of the Company’s officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders under Section 16(a) were satisfied during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Changes in Control

The Company continues to engage in discussions with its first lien lender, second lien lender and an ad hoc group of unsecured noteholders, regarding a restructuring of its debt obligations, which may occur as an out-of-court restructuring or pursuant to a bankruptcy court proceeding. See Items 1 and 2: Business and Properties—Business Strategy—Improve the Capital Structure in the Original Filing.

 

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Transactions With Related Persons, Promoters And Certain Control Persons

The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which prohibits conflicts of interest between a director, officer or employee and the Company. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires directors, officers and employees to inform the Company of any transaction that involves related parties and that may give rise to a conflict of interest. Our Audit Committee, pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, has oversight for related person transaction and compliance with our code. The Audit Committee will review, ratify or approve, as necessary, any related person transactions prior to the transaction being entered into, or ratify any related person transactions that have not been previously approved, in which a director, five percent owner, executive officer or immediate family member of any such person has a material interest, and which the transaction is in an amount in excess of $120,000, either individually or in the aggregate of several transactions during any calendar year.

On July 6, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Citrus, Citrus Energy Appalachia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Citrus, TLK Energy, LLC, and Troy Energy Investments, LLC, pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of Citrus’ Marcellus Shale assets in August 2014 for total consideration of $352.5 million, consisting of approximately $312.5 million of cash and the issuance of 6,666,667 shares of our common stock (the “Citrus Acquisition”). The Purchase Agreement also provides for a potential earn out payment not to exceed $8.5 million. Mr. Peterson is the CEO and President of Citrus and holds 50% of the issued and outstanding equity of Citrus. On December 4, 2014, Citrus transferred 3,333,334 shares of our common stock to Mr. Peterson pursuant to an in-kind dividend of all of the shares of our common stock held by Citrus. The remaining shares of our common stock held by Citrus were transferred to the other Citrus stockholder in connection with the in-kind dividend.

In connection with the closing of the Citrus Acquisition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with Citrus pursuant to which Citrus provides certain transition services to the Company. The transition services agreement provides for the payment of approximately $290,000 by the Company to Citrus for such services.

The Company also entered into a commitment agreement with Citrus Energy Appalachia, LLC (“CEA”) in connection with the closing of the Citrus Acquisition, pursuant to which the Company committed to drill and complete two (2) horizontal Upper Marcellus Shale wells (the “Commitment Wells”) and pay for a portion of CEA’s share of such well costs (the “Commitment Agreement”). The Commitment Agreement provides specifically that, until January 1, 2016, in addition to the Company paying its own working interest share, it will pay 100% of CEA’s working interest share of all capital costs and expenses incurred in connection with drilling, completing and equipping one or more Upper Marcellus wells (including the Commitment Wells) located on properties acquired from Citrus, up to an aggregate amount of $3.5 million.

Board Independence

In accordance with the NASDAQ Stock Market rules, the Board must affirmatively determine the independence of each director. The Board of Directors has determined each of the following directors to be an “independent director” as such term is defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules:

Anthony Coelho

Dominick D’Alleva

Leonard DeCecchis

Espy P. Price

Chet Borgida

The Board of Directors has also determined that each member of the three committees of the Board currently meets the independence requirements applicable to those committees prescribed by the NASDAQ. In determining Mr. Price’s independence, the Board considered his service as Interim CEO in 2012 and concluded that such service does not impair his independence, giving particular consideration to the short duration of such service. The Board of Directors has further determined that Chet Borgida and Leonard DeCecchis, members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, are “Audit Committee Financial Experts” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

(2) Represents fees for assisting management in the preparation of the corporate tax return.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

Prior to engagement of the independent auditor, management submits an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval.

1.     Audit services include audit work performed in the annual audit of the financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including quarterly reviews, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC, comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

2.     Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

3.     Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance.

4.     Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. The Company generally doesn’t request such services from the independent auditor.

Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

For 2015 and 2014, 100% of the accounting fees and services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
