PROXY STATEMENT

For the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
To Be Held on June 5, 2015

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

The Board of Directors of CAI International, Inc. (the “Company,” “CAI,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will take place at 10:00 am local time on Friday, June 5, 2015. The Annual Meeting will be held at the offices of Perkins Coie LLP located at 3150 Porter Drive, Palo Alto, California 94304. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are entitled to and requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement. These proxy materials are first being sent and made available to stockholders on or about April 27, 2015.

What is included in the proxy materials?

The proxy materials being sent to stockholders include this proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, our 2014 Annual Report to Stockholders, which includes our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the proxy card for the Annual Meeting.

What information is contained in the proxy statement?

The information included in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, our Board of Directors and Board committees, the compensation of our directors and most highly-paid executive officers during fiscal year 2014, and certain other required information.

What items will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

We are asking you to vote on the following matters in connection with the Annual Meeting:

We will also consider any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

What are our Board of Directors’ voting recommendations?

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

Who is entitled to vote and how many votes do I have?

Each share of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on April 17, 2015 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to one vote on all items being voted upon at the Annual Meeting. You may vote all shares owned by you as of this time, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record, and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, trustee or other nominee, such as a bank. On the Record Date, there were 21,142,521 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Most stockholders hold their shares through a broker, trust, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record: If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company N.A., you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right with these proxy materials to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed or sent a proxy card for you to use in granting your voting proxy to us.

Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held in a brokerage account (in street name) or by another person on your behalf, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or other nominee together with a voting instruction card. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting. Your broker, trustee, bank or other nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares.

How can I attend and vote my shares at the Annual Meeting?

You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a CAI stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date, or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting.

Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee, bank or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted by proxy without attending the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record of our common stock may submit proxies by completing, signing and dating their proxy cards and mailing them in the accompanying pre-addressed envelopes. Stockholders who are the beneficial owners of shares held in a brokerage account, or by another person on their behalf, may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the voting instruction card provided by their broker, trustee, bank or other nominee and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope.

Can I change or revoke my vote?

You may change or revoke your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the stockholder of record, you may change or revoke your vote by (i) submitting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy), (ii) providing a written notice of revocation of your proxy to our Secretary prior to your shares being voted, or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in a brokerage account, or that are held by another person on your behalf, you may change or revoke your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee, bank or other nominee as provided in the voting instruction card, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within CAI or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable

legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which are forwarded to our management.

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

Transaction of business at the Annual Meeting may occur only if a quorum is present. The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is that holders of a majority of shares of our common stock entitled to vote must be present in person or represented by proxy. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

How are votes counted?

In the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. For any other item of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN,” the abstention has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.”

If you provide specific instructions in your proxy card or voting instruction card with regard to a certain item, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such items. If you are a stockholder of record and you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors (“FOR” the Class II director nominees to the Board of Directors, “FOR” the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, “FOR” the advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, “FOR” the proposal to approve the amended CAI International, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, and in the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting).

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

For Proposal No. 1, the election of directors, members of the Board of Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, provided that a majority of the shares of common stock are present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The candidates who receive the greatest number of votes will be elected directors. Cumulative voting is not permitted for the election of directors.

Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal No. 3, the advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal No. 4, the approval of the amended CAI International, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions are shares that abstain from voting on a particular matter. Under Delaware law, abstentions effectively count as being present for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at a meeting. Abstentions will have no effect on Proposal No. 1, the election of directors, since approval by a percentage of the shares present or outstanding is not required. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, Proposal No. 3, the advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, and Proposal No. 4, the approval of the amended CAI International, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.

Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), if your broker holds your shares in its name (also known as “street name”), and does not receive voting instructions from you, the broker is permitted to vote your shares only on “routine” matters. Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, is the only routine matter that a broker is permitted to vote on at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes are generally not considered votes cast at the Annual Meeting and therefore will have no direct impact on any other proposal. We urge you to give voting instructions to your broker on all voting items.

What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

Other than the items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting. If for any reason one of our nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate as may be nominated by the Board of Directors, unless the Board of Directors chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board of Directors.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive.

How may I obtain a separate set of voting materials?

If you share an address with another stockholder, you may receive only one set of proxy materials (including our 2014 Annual Report to Stockholders and this proxy statement) unless you have provided contrary instructions. If you wish to receive a separate set of proxy materials now or in the future, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of these materials to you upon written request made to us at CAI International, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 1 Market Plaza, Steuart Tower, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94105, Fax: (415) 788-3430, or a request by telephone at (415) 788-0100.

Similarly, if you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of our proxy materials, you may write to us at the above address or fax number to request delivery of a single copy of these materials.

Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?

We are making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. In addition to mailing these proxy materials, proxies or votes may be solicited in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors, officers and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities. Upon request, we will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to stockholders.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?

In addition, our bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual stockholders meeting.

How may I communicate with CAI’s Board of Directors or the independent directors on CAI’s Board of Directors?

Any stockholder or other interested party may contact the Board or Directors, including the Presiding Non-Management Director, any non-employee director or the non-employee directors as a group, or any individual director or directors, by writing directing the communication by mail or fax addressed to CAI International, Inc., Attn: Chairman of the Board of Directors, 1 Market Plaza, Steuart Tower, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94105, Fax: (415) 788-3430. All communications are relayed to the board member(s) they are directed to.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors and is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. At the Annual Meeting, two Class II directors will be elected to serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until the death, resignation or removal of such director.

Hiromitsu Ogawa and William W. Liebeck have been nominated for election as the Class II directors at this Annual Meeting. Proxies will be voted for the election of Mr. Ogawa and Mr. Liebeck unless the authority to vote for is withheld. Each nominee has indicated that he is able and willing to serve if elected, and each of the nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement. If, however, any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who is designated by the current Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. If any nominee should be unable or unavailable to serve prior to the election, the Board of Directors may recommend another nominee, and Victor Garcia and Timothy B. Page, in their capacity as proxy holders, will vote the proxies for the nominee.

There are also five continuing directors. Masaaki (John) Nishibori and David G. Remington are serving as Class III directors until our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Victor M. Garcia, Marvin Dennis and Gary M. Sawka are serving as Class I directors until our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

There are no arrangements or understandings between any director or executive officer and any other person pursuant to which he or she is or was to be selected as a director or officer of CAI. There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.

If you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card, but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted “FOR” the persons Class II directors nominated by the Board of Directors. If you wish to give specific instructions with respect to voting for directors, you may do so by following the instructions on your proxy card or voting instruction card.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE CLASS II DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS

We are committed to sound corporate governance principles. Such principles are essential to running our business efficiently and to maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. The Board of Directors has formalized several policies, procedures and standards of corporate governance, including our Corporate Governance Guidelines, some of which are described below. We continue to monitor best practices and legal and regulatory developments with a view to further revising our governance policies and procedures, as appropriate.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Board of Directors has in place a set of governance guidelines, the CAI International, Inc. Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are designed to assure the continued vitality of the Board of Directors and excellence in the execution of its duties. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines establish the practices and procedures of the Board of Directors with respect to board composition and member selection, board meetings and involvement of management, board committees and director orientation and education. The Board of Directors periodically reviews our Corporate Governance Guidelines and updates them as necessary to reflect improved corporate governance practices and changes in regulatory requirements. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available in the “Documents & Charters” portion of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.capps.com.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all applies to all of our directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, service providers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available in the “Documents & Charters” portion of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.capps.com. We intend to disclose any changes in or waivers from the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that are required to be disclosed by posting such information on our website. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be provided to any stockholder who requests it from us in writing at CAI International, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, Steuart Tower, 1 Market Plaza, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94105, or by telephone at (415) 788-0100.

Board Independence

The Board of Directors has reviewed the relationships between CAI and each of its directors who served as directors during any part of fiscal 2014. For fiscal 2014, the Board of Directors has determined that none of our current directors, except Hiromitsu Ogawa, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Masaaki (John) Nishibori, our former President and Chief Executive Officer from which he resigned in June 2011, and Victor M. Garcia, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, has a material relationship with us (either directly, through a family member or as a partner, officer or stockholder of any organization that has a relationship with us), and each director, other than Messrs. Ogawa, Nishibori and Garcia, is independent within the meaning of our director independence standards, which reflect exactly the NYSE director independence standards. These independence standards are available in the “Documents & Charters” portion of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.capps.com and a copy of such standards will be provided to any stockholder upon request. For fiscal 2015, the Board of Directors determined that each director, except for Messrs Ogawa and Garcia, is independent within the meaning of our director independence standards. Mr. Nishibori resigned as our former President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2011, and therefore, for fiscal 2015, Mr. Nishibori is an independent director in accordance with our director independence standards and NYSE rules.

The Board of Directors annually appoints a Presiding Non-Management Director from among the independent directors. The Presiding Non-Management Director serves as a focal point and facilitator to assist the independent directors in fulfilling their responsibilities, and the Presiding Non-Management Director presides at all executive sessions of non-management directors. Mr. Marvin Dennis is currently appointed as our Presiding Non-Management Director. Additional information regarding the responsibilities of the Presiding Non-Management Director is available under the “Documents & Charters” portion of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.capps.com.

Board Leadership Structure

We do not have a policy regarding separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors believes it is in our best interests to make that determination based on current circumstances. Mr. Ogawa serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Mr. Garcia serves as both our Chief Executive Officer and as a director. We believe that having a separate Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is appropriate and in our best interests at this time given the current characteristics of our management. Mr. Ogawa, as founder and previous Chief Executive Officer, is intimately familiar with our business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities, overseeing risk management, leading Board

of Directors discussions and defining our strategic objectives. Mr. Garcia, as the Chief Executive Officer, is the individual selected by the Board of Directors to manage us on a day-to-day basis, and his direct involvement in our operations allows him to provide valuable insights with respect to strategic planning and the operational requirements to meet our short- and long-term objectives. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside the company and industry.

Board Meetings and Executive Sessions

During fiscal 2014, the Board of Directors held twelve meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of all Board of Directors and applicable committee meetings on which such director served during his tenure as a director in fiscal 2014. Non-management directors met in executive session on a regular basis in 2014, generally at each regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting. Our Presiding Non-Management Director, currently Mr. Dennis, presides at all executive sessions of non-management directors. The Board expects to continue to conduct an executive session limited to non-employee directors at least annually and our non-employee directors may schedule additional executive sessions in their discretion.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has the authority to appoint committees to perform certain management and administrative functions. Our Board of Directors has the following three standing committees: (1) Audit, (2) Compensation, and (3) Nominating and Corporate Governance, each of which must be composed exclusively of independent directors. The membership and the function of each of the committees are described below, and each of the committees operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, each of which are available in the “Documents & Charters” portion of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.capps.com. A copy of each charter will be provided to any stockholder who requests it from us it from us in writing at CAI International, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, Steuart Tower, 1 Market Plaza, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94105, or by telephone at (415) 788-0100. Our Board of Directors may establish other committees from time to time to facilitate the management of our business and affairs.

The following table is a summary of our committee structure and members on each of our committees:

Audit Committee. The functions of the Audit Committee include oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, performance of our internal audit services function, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the implementation and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, the evaluation of enterprise risk issues, the review of related person transactions, the annual independent audit of our financial statements, and the evaluation of the performance, qualifications and independence of our independent auditors. Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation, evaluation, termination and oversight of the work of any independent auditor engaged for the purpose of issuing an audit report or related work, as well as pre-approving all audit and non-audit services. All of the directors currently serving on our Audit Committee, Mr. Dennis, Mr. Liebeck, Mr. Remington and Mr. Sawka, qualify as “independent,” as such term is defined in Section 10A(m) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 10A-3 promulgated thereunder, and under NYSE listing requirements applicable to audit committees. Mr. Dennis, Mr. Liebeck, Mr. Remington and Mr. Sawka each have accounting or related financial management expertise as required by the NYSE’s listing requirements and qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the SEC. During fiscal 2014, the Audit Committee held five meetings. The report of the Audit Committee is included on page 28 of this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee . The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for evaluating and recommending to the Board of Directors for approval, our executive officer compensation, benefits, severance, equity-based or other compensation plans, policies and programs. The Compensation Committee also determines and recommends for approval, the compensation, benefits, severance, equity-based or other compensation plans, policies and programs for such other senior employees as the Compensation Committee may determine. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for producing a report for inclusion in our proxy statement. In addition, the Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibility for the design and establishment of the Company’s compensation and benefits programs generally. All of the directors currently serving on our Compensation Committee, Mr. Dennis, Mr. Liebeck, Mr. Remington and Mr. Sawka, qualify as “independent,” as such term is defined under NYSE listing requirements applicable to compensation committees. During fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee held six meetings.

The Compensation Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities to a subcommittee comprised of one or more members of the Compensation Committee. Additionally, the Compensation Committee shall have the sole authority and responsibility to engage and terminate any outside consultant to assist in evaluating and determining appropriate compensation levels for the Chief Executive Officer or other members of management and to approve the terms of any such engagement and the fees of any such consultant. Our Compensation Committee engaged a compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“PM&P”) in 2014 to review our executive compensation policies and to assist the Compensation Committee in setting compensation for our executives with the target of aligning total compensation with the Company’s business strategies and goals so as to deliver maximum return on compensation investment. The Compensation Committee reviewed its and our company’s relationships with PM&P and has determined that PM&P is an independent advisor and there is no conflict of interest resulting from retaining PM&P during the year ended December 31, 2014.

In considering director compensation and perquisites, the Compensation Committee may request that management report to the Compensation Committee periodically on the status of the Board of Director’s compensation and perquisites in relation to other similarly situated companies.

Mr. Ogawa, our Chairman, and Mr. Garcia, our Chief Executive Officer, participate in all discussions and decisions regarding salaries and incentive compensation for all of our executive officers, except during discussions regarding their own salary and incentive compensation. While the Compensation Committee looks to Messrs. Ogawa and Garcia to make recommendations with respect to specific compensation decisions for the executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, all decisions regarding the compensation of our executive officers are made solely by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The report of the Compensation Committee is included on page 16 of this proxy statement.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board of Directors in promoting our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders through the implementation of sound corporate governance principles and practices. In furtherance of this purpose, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to become directors and recommends to our Board of Directors the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee establishes procedures for, and evaluates any, director nominations made by stockholders. It also reviews the structure and composition of our Board of Directors committees on a regular basis and makes any recommendations the committee members may deem appropriate from time to time concerning any recommended changes in the composition of our Board of Directors and its committees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to our Board of Directors the corporate governance guidelines and standards regarding the independence of outside directors applicable to CAI and reviews such guidelines and standards and the provisions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter on a regular basis to confirm that such guidelines, standards and charter remain consistent with sound corporate governance practices and with any legal or regulatory requirements of the NYSE. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors our Board of Directors and our compliance with any commitments made to our regulators or otherwise regarding changes in corporate governance practices, and oversees the annual review of our Board of Directors’ and management’s performance. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also periodically reviews succession planning for our Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer.

All of the directors currently serving on our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Dennis, Mr. Liebeck, Mr. Remington and Mr. Sawka, qualify as “independent,” as such term is defined under applicable NYSE listing requirements. During fiscal 2014, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings.

Consideration of Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying nominees for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through current Board of Directors members, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons.

In evaluating candidates, including candidates nominated by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to achieve a balance of strength of character, judgment, business experience, specific areas of expertise, factors relating to the composition of the Board of Directors (including its size and structure) and diversity on the Board of Directors. We

do not have a separate policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying and evaluating director nominees, but the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills and backgrounds so that, as a group, the Board of Directors will possess a broad perspective and the appropriate talent, skills and expertise to oversee our business. Directors are expected to attend all or substantially all Board of Directors meetings and meetings of the Committees of the Board of Directors on which they serve. Directors are also expected to spend the necessary time to discharge their responsibilities and to ensure that other existing or future commitments do not materially interfere with their responsibilities as members of the Board of Directors.

Stockholder Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board of Directors in the same manner as other director nominees. Any stockholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board of Directors membership and should be addressed to CAI International, Inc., Attn: Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, 1 Market Plaza, Steuart Tower, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94105, Fax: (415) 788-3430.

For a description of the process for nominating directors in accordance with our bylaws, see “General Information About the Proxy Materials and Voting at the Annual Meeting—What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?” on page 4 of this proxy statement.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

One of the Board of Directors’ primary responsibilities under our Corporate Governance Guidelines is reviewing our strategic plans and objectives, including our principal risk exposures. The Board of Directors believes that overseeing how the executive team manages the various risks confronting the company is one of its most important areas of oversight. In carrying out this critical responsibility, the Board has designated the Audit Committee is also responsible for evaluating enterprise risk issues and discusses our major risk exposures, whether financial, operating or otherwise, with management, the head of internal audit (or the internal audit service providers), and the independent auditors. While the Audit Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing enterprise risk management, each of the other Board committees also considers risk within its area of responsibility. For example, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews risks related to legal and regulatory compliance as they relate to corporate governance structure and processes, and the Compensation Committee reviews risks related to compensation matters. The Board of Directors also addresses at least annually, the principal current and our future risk exposures. The Board of Directors receives regular reports from its committees and members of senior management on areas of material risk to CAI, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic and reputation risks.

With respect to risks related to compensation matters, the Compensation Committee considers, in establishing, reviewing and recommending our compensation plans and programs, whether a plan or program encourages unnecessary or excessive risk taking and has concluded that our current our compensation plans and programs do not. The Compensation Committee believes that we have no compensation policies and programs that give rise to risks reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Attendance of Directors at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

While we do not have a formal policy requiring our directors to attend stockholder meetings, directors are invited and encouraged to attend all meetings of stockholders. All of our directors attended the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee was at any time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (i) an officer or employee of CAI or (ii) had any relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. No executive officer of CAI served as a member of the Compensation Committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board of Directors) of another entity, or as a director of another entity, where one of the other entity’s executive officers served on the Compensation Committee of CAI or as a director of CAI.

2014 Director Compensation Table

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402 of Regulation S-K, and based on that review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and this proxy statement relating to our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis is designed to provide our stockholders with a clear understanding of our compensation philosophy and objectives, compensation-setting process, and the 2014 compensation of our named executive officers. For 2014, our named executive officers were as follows:

Objectives of Our Compensation Programs

The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee believe that compensation for our named executive officers should be tied to corporate performance. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are as follows:

To achieve these objectives, our executive compensation program ties a portion of each named executive officer’s overall compensation to key corporate financial goals and to individual goals, either on a subjective or objective basis. We have also historically provided a portion of our executive compensation in the form of stock option and other equity awards that vest over time, which we believe helps to retain our executive officers and aligns their interests with those of our stockholders by allowing them to participate in our long-term performance as reflected in the trading price of our common stock.

How We Set Compensation

We have compensation programs for our named executive officers that are designed to offer compensation that is competitive with compensation offered by competitors and companies of similar size and complexity within the intermodal container and similar industries.

The Compensation Committee, in consultation with Mr. Ogawa, our founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Garcia, our current Chief Executive Officer, sets the compensation of our executive officers subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee believes it is valuable to consider the recommendations of Messrs. Ogawa and Garcia with respect to these matters because, given their knowledge of our operations and the day-to-day responsibilities of our executive officers, they are in a unique position to provide the Compensation Committee with perspective into the performance of our executive officers in light of our business. The Compensation Committee does not consider recommendations of Mr. Garcia with respect to his own compensation. While the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of Messrs. Ogawa and Garcia, the Compensation Committee also considers, among other things, company and individual performance, peer group data and recommendations from PM&P, our compensation consultant, as further described below. Generally, the Compensation Committee has sought to provide compensation packages to our executive officers that are fair and competitive. The compensation for Mr. Garcia, Mr. Page and Mr. Hallahan for 2014 was also set pursuant to individual employment agreements entered into with each of them. In general, the overall compensation for our named executive officers is comprised of a mix of base salary, annual incentive bonuses and long-term, equity-based compensation pursuant to our existing equity compensation plan.

As part of the 2014 compensation process, the Compensation Committee reviewed publicly available compensation data for a select group of peer organizations along with general industry executive compensation survey data provided by our compensation consultant, PM&P. In 2013, PM&P conducted a competitive compensation analysis covering our named executive officers, and in early 2014, updated the analysis as it related to our Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee uses peer company data to guide its review of the total compensation of our executive officers and generally reviews the compensation data for our peer companies and industry to understand market competitive compensation. The Compensation Committee focuses on ensuring that the elements of our executive compensation program are consistent with peer and industry trends. While the peer group data presented may identify a certain percentile of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee does not target compensation to any specific percentile or range with regard to any specific element of compensation or total compensation.

The peer group for 2014 was selected from among publicly traded companies who operate in the leasing industry with comparable revenue and market value. The Compensation Committee believes these companies are broadly comparable to us, and represent our labor market for talent for key leadership positions. For 2014, the selected peer group consisted of:

Overall, in establishing the compensation of our named executive officers, except for the annual incentive bonus for Mr. Garcia which is based on achievement of specific performance objectives, the Compensation Committee bases compensation amounts primarily on a subjective assessment of the market data, company performance and the business judgment of the Compensation Committee members, the individual performance of each named executive officer, the employment agreement of each named executive officer, if any, and each named executive officer’s level of responsibility for our key objectives and potential for future responsibility and promotion.

Say-on-Pay Vote

At our annual meeting of stockholders in June 2014, we held an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (“say-on-pay”). The compensation of our named executive officers reported in our 2014 proxy statement was approved by over 98% of the votes cast at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, similar to the results at our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes this affirms our stockholders' support of our approach to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee has considered and will continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Elements of Compensation

Our compensation program for our named executive officers consists of:

Base Salaries

The Compensation Committee reviewed named executive officer base salaries in early 2014 to ensure that they generally were competitive with market levels and generally reflected our level of financial performance during the previous year. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to our named executive officers, rather the Compensation Committee generally sets the base salary of each of our named executive officers at a level it believes compensates these individuals adequately for the work they are expected to perform in their respective positions, and the Compensation Committee also considers the base salaries paid to similarly-positioned executives by our selected peer organizations, individual performance of each of our named executive officers and overall company performance. The base salaries for each of our named executive officers increased during 2014, as shown in the following table, in recognition of the exceptional service provided by each of them to us and each named executive officer’s relative positions to salary levels when compared to the peer companies and broader market comparisons.

Annual Incentive Bonuses

The Compensation Committee believes that annual incentive bonuses awarded to our named executive officers for meeting or exceeding company performance goals and individual achievement goals provide our executive officers additional incentive to perform, increase stockholder value and ensure that we attract and retain talented named executive officers.

CEO Bonus

Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, for 2014, the Compensation Committee set Mr. Garcia’s annual incentive bonus based on the achievement of company performance objectives, which were established by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. The Compensation Committee set a target bonus amount for Mr. Garcia in 2014 of 70% of his base salary. The following table highlights the performance objectives, criteria and methodology set by the Compensation Committee for calculating Mr. Garcia’s annual incentive bonus in 2014:

In 2014, actual pre-tax profits for the Company were $67,576,000, an achievement of 85.3% to budget, resulting in a bonus payout of $282,041 to Mr. Garcia under this performance objective. Stock price performance (total shareholder return) for the Company in 2014 was approximately 0% as compared to a 21% decrease for TAL International, Inc. and an 11% decrease for Textainer Group Holdings Limited. Therefore, based on our relative stock price performance in 2014, Mr. Garcia earned a bonus payout of $124,016 under this performance objective. The total annual incentive bonus paid to Mr. Garcia in 2014 was $406,057, equal to 68.8% of his base salary.

Executive Officer Bonuses (Other than CEO)

The annual incentive bonuses to our named executive officers, other than Mr. Garcia as described above, are paid at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. Each year, our Board of Directors allocates a general pool for all annual incentive bonuses, except for the annual incentive bonus to Mr. Garcia. From this bonus pool, our Compensation Committee determines the annual incentive bonuses to be paid to each named executive officer, except for Mr. Garcia. When setting the discretionary annual incentive bonuses for our executive officers other than Mr. Garcia, the Compensation Committee considers several factors, including the overall performance of our company, the individual executive’s role in our performance and the individual executive’s job performance during the year. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to award discretionary cash bonuses to our executive officers in the event of extraordinary short-term efforts and achievements by our executive officers.

The Compensation Committee awarded bonuses to our named executive officers (other the Mr. Garcia) for the year ended December 31, 2014 based on its review and analysis of their positions, responsibilities and performance, as well as their anticipated responsibilities and potential contributions to growth in stockholder value. The Compensation Committee also analyzed our overall performance relative to peer companies and the compensation comparables of peer companies in validating its conclusions. Annual incentive bonuses paid to our executive officers in 2014 (other than Mr. Garcia) were as follows:

Equity Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that our long-term performance is enhanced through equity awards to our named executive officers. Equity awards reward our named executive officers for maximizing stockholder value over time and align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. In June 2014, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to our named executive officers as set forth under the “2014 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” below. The number of options and restricted stock awards granted to our named executive officers in 2014 was based on a review of the equity compensation of our peer companies, in recognition of each named executive officer’s performance during the previous year, and a subjective assessment of each named executive officer’s expected future contributions to our company, all in the Compensation Committee’s and the Board of Directors’ business judgment. Additionally, the value and number of options granted to Mr. Garcia were informed by the updated 2014 CEO compensation analysis provided by PM&P, and positioned Mr. Garcia’s total compensation near the 50^th percentile of market.

Severance and Change-in-Control Payments

We have entered into written agreements with Mr. Garcia, Mr. Page and Mr. Hallahan pursuant to which they are entitled to receive severance benefits in the event their employment is terminated by us other than for cause, by the executive for good reason, or as a result of death or disability. We provide these benefits to attract and retain qualified executive officers who could obtain similar positions at other companies. These potential payments are discussed further under “Potential Post-Employment or Change in Control Payments” below.

Other Benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in all our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, disability and our 401(k) plan, in each case on the same basis as other employees. In addition, we pay for additional life insurance policies for certain of our named executive officers. All of these other benefits are included as part of the benefits package to retain highly qualified executives. We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including our executive officers.

2014 Summary Compensation Table

The following table provides information concerning the compensation of our named executive officers for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, as applicable.

2014 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

The following table provides information regarding grants of plan based awards for each of our named executive officers for 2014.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

General. Base salary increases for our named executive officers became effective on July 1, 2014. The following table sets forth the percentage of each named executive officer’s total compensation that was paid in the form of base salary and cash incentive awards for 2014 based on the amount reported as Total Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table:

Bonuses and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. Because Mr. Garcia’s annual incentive bonus was based on the achievement of objective performance criteria, the amount of his annual incentive bonus is reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the 2014 Summary Compensation Table. The annual incentive bonuses for our other named executive officers is based on a subjective determination by the Compensation Committee and such amounts are reflected in the “Bonus” column of the 2014 Summary Compensation Table. See the discussion on the determination of bonuses for our named executive officers, and non-equity incentive plan compensation for Mr. Garcia, under “Annual Incentive Bonuses” on page 18 of this proxy statement.

Option Awards and Stock Awards. Twenty-five percent of the total number of shares subject to the options granted to our named executive officers in 2014 vest on June 12, 2015, and 1/48^th of the total number of shares subject to the options vest monthly thereafter, provided that the holder is in continuous service with us as of each vesting date. The restricted stock awards granted to our named executive officers in 2014 vest in four equal annual installments beginning on May 15, 2015, provided that the holder is in continuous service with us as of each vesting date.

Employment Agreements

Victor M. Garcia. Mr. Garcia became our President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2011. Mr. Garcia previously served as our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer from September 2010 to June 2011.

Pursuant to this employment agreement, Mr. Page’s annual base salary is eligible for annual increases at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Potential Post-Employment or Change in Control Payments

Employment Agreements

Messrs. Garcia, Page and Hallahan are entitled to certain payments from us pursuant to their respective employment agreements in the event of their termination of employment or upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control.”

Victor Garcia. In the event Mr. Garcia’s employment is terminated for “Cause” or due to company insolvency, Mr. Garcia is entitled only to any accrued compensation and benefits through the effective date of his termination.

In the event Mr. Garcia’s employment is terminated (i) by us without “Cause”, (ii) due to his death or disability, (iii) for any reason, other than for “Cause”, death or disability, within twenty four months following a “Change in Control” or (iv) by him for “Good Reason,” Mr. Garcia is entitled to receive the following payments and benefits:

Mr. Garcia’s employment agreement also provides that if he becomes entitled to receive or if he receives any payments that would be characterized as “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the payments will be reduced to the highest amount that may be paid to him without having any portion of any payment treated as an “excess parachute payment,” but only if the effect of the reduction is that he would receive a greater amount of payments, as determined on an after-tax basis. If, on an after-tax basis, the payments Mr. Garcia would receive would be greater without any reduction, then these payments will not be reduced.

“Cause” is generally defined as (a) a failure by the executive to substantially perform his or her material duties under such executive’s employment agreement which is not cured within thirty days after notice from us; (b) an act by the executive of material dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation, or other act(s) of moral turpitude; (c) an intentional act by the executive (other than one constituting a business judgment that was reasonable at the time or which was previously approved by the Board of Directors), or gross misconduct by the executive, which in either case, is seriously injurious to us; (d) a material breach by the executive of his or her employment agreement which is not cured within thirty days after notice from us; or (e) a material and willful violation of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to our business.

“Change of Control” is generally defined as any of the following transactions: (a) a merger or consolidation with or into any other company or other entity, if (after giving effect to the merger or consolidation) our stockholders prior to the merger or consolidation would not be able to elect a majority of our Board of Directors immediately following the merger or consolidation; (b) a sale in one transaction or a series of transactions undertaken with a common purpose of all or a controlling portion of our outstanding voting securities or such amount of our outstanding voting securities as would enable the purchaser to obtain the right to appoint a majority of our Board of Directors; (c) a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions undertaken with a common purpose of all or substantially all of our assets; or (d) as otherwise may constitute a Change in Control under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan; provided, however, a transaction involving a sale of stock beneficially owned by Mr. Ogawa, his spouse or his children shall not constitute a Change in Control unless (after giving effect thereto) a single party (or group of related parties) obtains control of us as a result of such transaction.

“Good Reason” is generally defined as the occurrence of any of the following events, without the consent of the executive: (a) any diminution in the executive’s base salary, except as part of a program whereby the salaries of all of our executive officers are reduced for economic reasons; (b) any material diminution of the executive’s authority, duties, reporting or responsibilities; (c) any action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by us of the executive’s employment agreement; or (d) a material change in the geographic location at which the executive must perform his duties under his or her employment agreement, except for office relocation within the San Francisco Bay area; provided that the executive acknowledges and agrees that he or she may be required to travel extensively in connection with the performance of his or her duties under such executive’s employment agreement and that any such travel requirement will not constitute a material change in the geographic location at which the executive must perform his or her duties under such executive’s employment agreement.

Timothy Page. In the event Mr. Page’s employment is terminated without cause, for death or disability, for Good Reason or within twenty four months of a Change in Control and in connection therewith, Mr. Page is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to twelve months of his base salary immediately preceding the date of termination, or, in the case of termination based upon Change in Control, twenty four months of base salary, plus a cash bonus equal to the average of the annual cash bonus amounts paid over the preceding two years. The definitions of “Cause”, “Good Reason” and “Change of Control” under Mr. Page’s employment agreement are substantially similar to the definitions under Mr. Garcia’s employment agreement as defined above.

Daniel Hallahan. In the event Mr. Hallahan’s employment is terminated within twenty four months following the occurrence of a Change in Control and in connection therewith, Mr. Hallahan is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to twelve months of his base salary immediately preceding the date of termination plus a cash bonus equal to the average of the annual cash bonus amounts paid over the preceding two years. The definition of “Change of Control” under Mr. Hallahan’s employment agreement is substantially similar to the definition under Mr. Garcia’s employment agreement as defined above.

Equity Compensation Plan

Under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, all awards under the plan, including shares subject to stock options and restricted stock, that have not vested will become fully vested and exercisable in the event of a “change of control” or other “company transaction,” each as defined below, unless, in the event of a company transaction, the options or stock awards are assumed by the successor company. A “change of control” is generally defined as an acquisition of 50% or more of our voting power, or a change in the composition of our Board of Directors in a two-year period, without the approval of the Incumbent Board (as defined in the plan), that results in fewer than a majority of the Incumbent Board remaining in office. A “company transaction” is generally defined as the completion of a merger or consolidation with or into another company or entity, a sale in one or more transactions with the common purpose of all of our outstanding voting securities, or a sale in one or more transactions with the common purpose of all or substantially all of our assets. The Compensation Committee may also, in the event of a change of control, allow the holder of an award to surrender the award in exchange for a cash payment, or, in the event of a company transaction, terminate awards under the plan in exchange for a cash payment, each calculated by a formula set forth in the plan.

The following table describes the potential payments upon a termination or change of control for our named executive officers, assuming that the triggering events occurred on December 31, 2014. In the case of stock options, the value of the acceleration was determined based on the difference between (i) the exercise price of the shares for which vesting was accelerated and (ii) the $23.20 closing price on December 31, 2014. In the case of restricted stock, the value of the acceleration was determined based on the value of the shares for which vesting was accelerated using the $23.20 closing price on December 31, 2014.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Stockholder approval of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. The Audit Committee will consider the results of the stockholder vote and in the event of a negative vote will reconsider its selection of KPMG LLP. Even in the event of an affirmative stockholder vote, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests.

Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire. The representatives also are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – ADVISORY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF
OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to approve an advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement. Our current policy is to provide stockholders with an opportunity to approve the compensation of our named executive officers each year at the annual meeting of stockholders until the next required vote on the frequency of such votes.

The Compensation Committee establishes, recommends and governs all of the compensation and benefits policies and actions for the Company’s executives, whose compensation is reported in the 2014 Summary Compensation Table above. Additional information regarding the Compensation Committee and its role is described above in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement and the related tables and narrative disclosure. Consistent with the Company’s compensation philosophy, our executive compensation program has been designed to provide competitive compensation packages that enable us to attract and retain talented executives and motivate named executive officers to achieve our short- and long-term business strategies.

The Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our named executives reported in this proxy statement has contributed to the Company’s recent and long-term success. In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of CAI International, Inc. (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, notes and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

While the resolution is non-binding, the Board of Directors values the opinions that stockholders express in their votes and in any additional dialogue. It will consider the outcome of the vote and those opinions when making future compensation decisions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE
ADVISORY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 – TO APPROVE THE AMENDED
CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC. 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee and our management all believe that the effective use of stock-based long-term incentive compensation is important to our success. On April 23, 2015, the Board of Directors amended our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2007 Plan”) to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan by 200,000 shares, subject to the approval of our stockholders.

In order to continue to have an appropriate supply of shares for equity incentives to recruit, hire and retain the talent required to successfully execute our business plans, the Board of Directors believes that we will need the additional 200,000 new shares to be available under the 2007 Plan. As of April 23, 2015, and prior to the requested increase, there were a total of approximately 64,800 shares available for future grant under the 2007 Plan. As of the record date, the total number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding was 21,142,521 shares. Although the additional 200,000 new shares to be available under the 2007 Plan will increase the potential dilution to stockholders, the Board of Directors believes our equity compensation plan is well-managed and below norms for our industry.

We anticipate the additional shares for which we are seeking stockholder approval will be sufficient for our equity compensation program through fiscal year 2017, and that we will need to seek stockholder approval for additional shares at our annual stockholders meeting in 2018. While authorizing these additional shares for issuance under the 2007 Plan will increase the potential dilution represented by our equity compensation program, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee believe that the potential dilution represented by our current outstanding equity compensation awards and the new shares to be authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan is reasonable.

If stockholders do not approve the amended 2007 Plan, the amended 2007 Plan will not become effective and the remaining shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan will remain available for new grants until awards have been granted covering all the shares authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan or it is terminated by the Board of Directors.

If the stockholders approve the amended 2007 Plan, in addition to the 200,000 new shares authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan, the shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2007 Plan that are forfeited or canceled or expire can be reused under the 2007 Plan.

Under applicable rules of the NYSE, we are required to obtain stockholder approval of the 2007 Plan. In addition, stockholder approval of the 2007 Plan is necessary to provide the Compensation Committee with the flexibility to grant incentive stock options to employees under the 2007 Plan and certain awards that qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below for more information about these issues.

Stockholder approval of the amended 2007 Plan pursuant to this Proposal No. 4 will also constitute re-approval of the 2007 Plan for purposes of Section 162(m). In general, this re-approval is required at least once every five years to comply with certain requirements under Section 162(m). See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below for more information.

The principal features of the amended 2007 Plan are summarized below. This summary does not contain all information about the 2007 Plan. A copy of the complete text of the amended 2007 Plan is included in Appendix A to this proxy statement, and the following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2007 Plan.

Summary of the Amended 2007 Plan

The 2007 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, performance units and other incentives payable in cash or in shares of our stock for the purpose of recruiting, motivating and retaining the caliber of employees essential for achievement of our success.

Shares Available for Issuance

The number of shares of Company stock available for issuance under the 2007 Plan is 1,921,980. If there is any change in Company stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend or other change in the Company’s corporate or capital structure, the Committee shall make proportional adjustments to the maximum number and kind of securities, and the price of each security, (i) available for issuance under the 2007 Plan, (ii) available for issuance as incentive stock options, (iii) that may be subject to awards received by any participant in any one calendar year, and (iv) that are subject to any outstanding award.

The 2007 Plan provides that shares covered by an award will not count against the shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan until they are actually issued and delivered to a participant. If an award granted under the 2007 Plan lapses, expires, terminates or is forfeited, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or without the issuance of all the shares subject to the award, the shares covered by such award (or, if applicable, the portion as to which shares have not been issued) will

again be available for use under the 2007 Plan. Shares that are (i) tendered by a participant or retained by the Company as payment for the purchase price of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations or (ii) covered by an award that is settled in cash, or in a manner such that some or all of the shares subject to the award are not issued, will be available for issuance under the 2007 Plan. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan will not be reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are credited to outstanding stock or stock unit awards. The 2007 Plan also provides that shares subject to awards issued by the Company in substitution for awards previously granted by an acquired company will not count against the shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan.

Eligibility

Awards may be made to any employee, officer or director of the Company and its affiliated companies, as well as to certain consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors. As of April 23, 2015, approximately 100 employees, including four executive officers and six non-employee directors were eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan.

Administration

The 2007 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, except that with respect to participants who are nonemployee directors, the 2007 Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board or the Compensation Committee may delegate the administration, subject to certain limits described in the 2007 Plan. References to the “Committee” are to the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee, or other delegate, as applicable.

Types of Awards

Stock Options. The Committee may grant either incentive stock options, which comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or nonqualified stock options. The Committee sets option exercise prices and terms, except that the exercise price of a stock option may be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant (for these purposes, fair market value means the closing price, for Company stock on the New York Stock Exchange during regular session trading for a single trading day, unless otherwise determined by the Committee). At the time of grant, the Committee in its sole discretion will determine when stock options are exercisable and when they expire, except that the term of a stock option cannot exceed ten years.

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”). The Committee may grant SARs as a right in tandem with the number of shares underlying stock options granted under the 2007 Plan or on a stand-alone basis. SARs are the right to receive payment per share of the SAR exercised in stock or in cash equal to the excess of the share’s fair market value on the date of exercise over its fair market value on the date the SAR was granted. Exercise of an SAR issued in tandem with stock options will result in the reduction of the number of shares underlying the related stock option to the extent of the SAR exercise.

Performance Share Awards, Performance Unit Awards, Stock Awards, Restricted Stock and Stock Unit Awards, and Other Awards. The Committee may grant awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares denominated in shares of Company stock, performance units denominated in cash, and other stock and cash-based awards, which may include the payment of stock in lieu of cash (including cash payable under other Company incentive or bonus programs) or the payment of cash (which may or may not be based on the price of the Company’s common stock). Such awards may be contingent on continued service or the attainment of certain performance goals. The Committee may decide to include dividends or dividend equivalents as part of an award of shares of Company stock (or awards denominated in shares of Company stock) and may accrue dividends, with or without interest, until the award is paid.

Section 162(m) Awards. The Committee may grant stock-based awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m). Such awards may consist of stock options, SARs, stock awards, performance shares or other awards, and may be conditioned upon the attainment of certain performance goals relating to one or more business criteria within the meaning of Section 162(m). As required by Section 162(m), these business criteria will be net earnings or net income (before or after taxes); earnings per share (basic or fully diluted); net sales growth or bookings growth; revenues; operating profit or income (including or excluding depreciation, amortization, extraordinary items, restructuring charges or other expenses); return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, net capital utilized, equity or sales); working capital; cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow or cash flow return on capital); earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; gross or operating profit; cost control; strategic initiatives; market share; improvements in capital structure; productivity ratios; share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return); expense targets; margins; operating efficiency or margins; capital efficiency; strategic targets; economic profit; employee or customer satisfaction, services performance, subscriber, cash management or asset management metrics; working capital targets; cash value added (“CVA”); or market or economic value added (“EVA”). Any performance criteria may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or any business unit of the Company.

The Committee may provide in any such Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs, (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results, (d) any reorganization and restructuring programs, (e) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year, (f) acquisitions or divestitures, (g) foreign exchange gains and losses, and (h) gains and losses on asset sales. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees, they shall be prescribed in a form that satisfies the requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m), or any successor provision thereto.

Subject to certain adjustments, participants who are granted awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) may not be granted awards, other than performance units, for more than 300,000 shares of common stock in any calendar year, except that the Company may make additional one-time grants of such Awards for up to 200,000 shares to newly hired or newly promoted individuals. The maximum dollar value payable to any participant with respect to performance units or other awards payable in cash that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” cannot exceed $1,000,000 in any calendar year.

Amendment and Termination of the 2007 Plan

The Board or the Committee may amend the 2007 Plan, except that if any applicable statute, regulation or stock exchange rule requires stockholder approval with respect to an amendment, then to the extent required, stockholder approval will be obtained. Stockholder approval will also be obtained for any amendment that would delete or limit the scope of the 2007 Plan provisions prohibiting repricing of options and any amendment that would increase the number of shares stated as available for issuance under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan will terminate on April 23, 2025, unless sooner terminated or extended by the Board.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to us and to recipients of certain awards under the 2007 Plan. The summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, all of which may change with retroactive effect. The summary is not intended to be a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax consequences that may be important to recipients of awards under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan addresses several issues related to recent deferred compensation legislation under Section 409A of the Code and contains an express provision stating that it is the intent of the Company that the awards will satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A, and to make it clear that the Committee is to interpret and administer the 2007 Plan accordingly.

Nonqualified Stock Options and SARs. A recipient will not have any income at the time a nonqualified stock option or SAR is granted, nor will the Company be entitled to a deduction at that time. When a nonqualified stock option is exercised, the recipient generally will recognize ordinary income (whether the exercise price is paid in cash or by surrender of shares of Company stock), in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares to which the option exercise pertains over the exercise price. When an SAR is exercised, the recipient will recognize ordinary income equal to the sum of (i) any gross cash proceeds payable and (ii) the fair market value on the exercise date of any shares received.

Incentive Stock Options. A recipient will not have any income at the time an incentive stock option (“ISO”) is granted. Furthermore, a recipient will not have regular taxable income at the time the ISO is exercised. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price will be a preference item that could create an alternative minimum tax liability for the recipient. If a recipient disposes of the shares acquired on exercise of an ISO after the later of two years after the grant of the ISO or one year after exercise of the ISO, the gain recognized by the recipient (i.e., the excess of the proceeds received over the exercise price), if any, will be long-term capital gain eligible for preferential capital gains tax rates. Conversely, if the recipient disposes of the shares within two years of the grant of the ISO or within one year of exercise of the ISO, the disposition will generally be a “disqualifying disposition,” and the recipient will recognize ordinary income in the year of the disqualifying disposition equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price and (ii) the excess of the amount received for the shares over the exercise price. The balance of the gain or loss, if any, will be long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on how long the shares were held.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units. A participant generally will not have taxable income upon grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or performance units. Instead, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of vesting or payout equal to the fair market value (on the vesting or payout date) of the shares or cash received minus any amount paid. For restricted stock only, a participant instead may elect to be taxed at ordinary income tax rates at the time of grant in an amount equal to the fair market value of the restricted stock on the date of grant.

The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an award under the 2007 Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by a participant and at the time the participant recognizes such income, provided that the deduction is not disallowed by Section 162(m) or otherwise limited by the Code.

Section 162(m) Awards and Other Awards. Under Section 162(m), compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any year to certain executive officers is not deductible by the Company, unless such compensation qualifies as “performance-based.” As discussed above, the 2007 Plan allows the Committee to make awards that would be performance-based for purposes of exemption from the limitations of Section 162(m). However, nothing precludes the Committee from making any payments or granting any awards that do not qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m).

New Plan Benefits

All awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants under the 2007 Plan are made at the discretion of the Committee. Therefore, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the 2007 Plan are not determinable at this time. However, please refer to the description of grants made to nonemployee directors and our executive officers in the last fiscal year under the heading “2014 Director Compensation Table” on page 13 of this proxy statement and under the heading “2014 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” on page 21.

Awards Granted Under the 2007 Plan Since Inception

The following table provides information as of April 23, 2015, with respect to awards granted under the 2007 Plan to our named executive officers and other groups since the inception of the 2007 Plan.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL
OF THE AMENDED CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC. 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

The following table summarizes information about our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2014.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table shows common stock ownership on April 17, 2015, except as otherwise noted, by:

The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity or person is determined under the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has the sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 17, 2015 through the exercise of any stock option or other right. Percentage beneficially owned below is based on 21,142,521 shares of our common stock outstanding on April 17, 2015.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address for all persons named below is c/o CAI International, Inc., Steuart Tower, 1 Market Plaza, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94105.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of such reports and written representations from our executive officers and directors that no other reports were required, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, all reports required under Section 16(a) were timely filed.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Share Repurchases from Hiromitsu Ogawa

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we purchased, and subsequently cancelled, 400,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Hiromitsu Ogawa, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, pursuant to our share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2014. The shares were purchased for proceeds totaling $8.8 million, at an average price of $21.92, which represented a modest discount to the closing share price on the dates of purchase.

Policies and Procedures for Approving Transactions with Related Persons

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all our directors, officers and employees and agents, provides information concerning any related person transaction or other conflict of interest should be given to the Audit Committee Chairperson for review. Our Audit Committee reviews and approves and related person transactions. In addition, in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, our Audit Committee, in executing the responsibilities delegated to it, reviews a summary of CAI’s transactions with its directors and officers and with firms that employ our directors, as well as any other material related person transactions, periodically, but no less frequently than annually. The Audit Committee consists entirely of disinterested, nonemployee directors. All transactions disclosed above were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the above procedures and applicable law.

Other Matters

We do not intend to bring before the Annual Meeting any matters other than the proposals specifically described above, and we know of no matters other than those to come before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with the recommendation of our management on such matters, including any matters dealing with the conduct of the Annual Meeting.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS

SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee, which shall be composed of two or more directors, each of whom shall qualify as a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or any successor definition adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m), and an “independent director” as defined under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may delegate responsibility for administering the Plan, including with respect to designated classes of Eligible Persons, to different committees consisting of one or more members of the Board, subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate, except with respect to Awards to Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Awards to officers who are or may become Covered Employees. Members of any committee shall serve for such term as the Board may determine, subject to removal by the Board at any time. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Board or the Compensation Committee may authorize one or more officers of the Company to grant Awards to designated classes of Eligible Persons, within limits specifically prescribed by the Board or the Compensation Committee; provided, however, that no such officer shall have or obtain authority to grant Awards to himself or herself or to any person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. All references in the Plan to the “Committee” shall be, as applicable, to the Board, the Compensation Committee or any other committee or any officer to whom the Board or the Compensation Committee has delegated authority to administer the Plan.

(a)         Except for the terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the Plan and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee shall have full power and exclusive authority, subject to such orders or resolutions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as may from time to time be adopted by the Board or a Committee composed of members of the Board, to (i) select the Eligible Persons to whom Awards may from time to time be granted under the Plan; (ii) determine the type or types of Award to be granted to each Participant under the Plan; (iii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted under the Plan; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted under the Plan; (v) approve the forms of notice or agreement for use under the Plan; (vi) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property or canceled or suspended; (vii) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument evidencing an Award, notice or agreement executed or entered into under the Plan; (viii) establish such rules and regulations as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; (ix) delegate ministerial duties to such of the Company's employees as it so determines; and (x) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for administration of the Plan.

(b)         In no event, however, shall the Board or the Committee have the right, without stockholder approval, to (i) cancel or amend outstanding Options or SARs for the purpose of repricing, replacing or regranting such Options or SARs with Options or SARs that have a purchase or grant price that is less than the purchase or grant price for the original Options or SARs except in connection with adjustments provided in Section 15, or (ii) issue an Option or amend an outstanding Option to provide for the grant or issuance of a new Option on exercise of the original Option.

(c)         The effect on the vesting of an Award of a Company-approved leave of absence or a Participant's reduction in hours of employment or service working less than full-time shall be determined by the Company's chief executive officer, human resources officer or other person performing that function or, with respect to directors or executive officers subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, by the Compensation Committee, whose determination shall be final.

(d)         Decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, any Participant, any stockholder and any Eligible Person. A majority of the members of the Committee may determine its actions.

SECTION 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

Subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 15.1, the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be 1,921,980 shares.

Shares issued under the Plan shall be drawn from authorized and unissued shares or shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares.

(a)         Shares of Common Stock covered by an Award shall not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant. If any Award lapses, expires, terminates or is canceled prior to the issuance of shares thereunder or if shares of Common Stock are issued under the Plan to a Participant and thereafter are forfeited to or otherwise reacquired by the Company, the shares subject to such Awards and the forfeited or reacquired shares shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock (i) tendered by a Participant or retained by the Company as full or partial payment to the Company for the purchase price of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award, or (ii) covered by an Award that is settled in cash, or in a manner such that some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Award are not issued, shall be available for Awards under the Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into additional shares of Common Stock or credited as additional shares of Common Stock subject or paid with respect to an Award.

(b)         The Committee shall also, without limitation, have the authority to grant Awards as an alternative to or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company.

(c)         Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant Substitute Awards under the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan. In the event that an Acquired Entity has shares available for awards or grants under one or more preexisting plans not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, then, to the extent determined by the Committee, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such preexisting plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to holders of common stock of the entities that are parties to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided, however, that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of such preexisting plans, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were employees of the Acquired Entity prior to such acquisition or combination. In the event that a written agreement between the Company and an Acquired Entity pursuant to which a merger or consolidation is completed is approved by the Board and that agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the substitution for or assumption of outstanding awards of the Acquired Entity, those terms and conditions shall be deemed to be the action of the Committee without any further action by the Committee, except as may be required for compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the persons holding such awards shall be deemed to be Participants.

(d)         Notwithstanding the other provisions in this Section 4.2, the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall equal the aggregate share number stated in Section 4.1, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15.1.

SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY

An Award may be granted to any employee, officer or director of the Company or a Related Company whom the Committee from time to time selects. An Award may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor for bona fide services rendered to the Company or any Related Company that (a) are not in connection with the offer and sale of the Company's securities in a capital-raising transaction and (b) do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities. The foregoing are “Eligible Persons.”

SECTION 6. AWARDS

The Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the type or types of Awards to be granted under the Plan. Such Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other type of Award. Any Award settlement may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine.

Awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written, including an electronic, instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Committee shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Plan.

Participants holding Awards may, if the Committee so determines, be credited with dividends paid with respect to the underlying shares or dividend equivalents while the Awards are so held in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends or dividend equivalents that the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of dividends or dividend equivalents, including cash, shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to any dividends or dividend equivalents declared and paid on the number of shares underlying an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may not be contingent, directly or indirectly, on the exercise of the Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, and an Award providing a right to dividends or dividend equivalents declared and paid on the number of shares underlying an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, the payment of which is not contingent upon, or otherwise payable on, the exercise of the Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, must comply with or qualify for an exemption under Section 409A.

SECTION 7. OPTIONS

The Committee may grant Options designated as Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options.

The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date, except in the case of Substitute Awards.

Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the Option, the maximum term of an Option shall be ten years from the Grant Date.

The Committee shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option the time at which, or the installments in which, the Option shall vest and become exercisable, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall vest and become exercisable according to the following schedule, which may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time:

To the extent an Option has vested and become exercisable, the Option may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part by delivery, as directed by the Company, to the Company or a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company of a properly executed stock option exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance with procedures established by the Company, setting forth the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, the restrictions imposed on the shares purchased under such exercise agreement or notice, if any, and such representations and agreements as may be required by the Committee, accompanied by payment in full as described in Sections 7.5 and 13. An Option may be exercised only for whole shares and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Committee.

The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full, as directed by the Company, to the Company or a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration must be paid before the Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable to the Committee for that purchase, which forms may include:

(a)         cash, check or wire transfer;

(b)         having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued on exercise of the Option that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option;

(c)         tendering (either actually or, so long as the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, by attestation) shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option;

(d)         so long as the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and to the extent permitted by law, delivery of a properly executed exercise agreement or notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board; or

(e)         such other consideration as the Committee may permit.

The Committee shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such exercise, after a Termination of Service, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time, provided that any such waiver or modification shall satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 409A. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time:

(a)         Any portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant's Termination of Service shall expire on such date.

(b)         Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant's Termination of Service shall expire on the earliest to occur of:

(i)          if the Participant's Termination of Service occurs for reasons other than Cause, Retirement, Disability or death, the date that is three months after such Termination of Service;

(ii)         if the Participant's Termination of Service occurs by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the one-year anniversary of such Termination of Service; and

(iii)         the last day of the maximum term of the Option (the “Option Expiration Date”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant dies after his or her Termination of Service but while an Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable on the date of such Termination of Service shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (y) the Option Expiration Date and (z) the one-year anniversary of the date of death, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Participant's Termination of Service occurs for Cause, all Options granted to the Participant shall automatically expire upon first notification to the Participant of such termination, unless the Committee determines otherwise. If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option shall likewise

be suspended during the period of investigation. If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after a Participant's Termination of Service, any Option then held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option following a Participant's Termination of Service, but while the Option is otherwise exercisable, would be prohibited solely because the issuance of Common Stock would violate either the registration requirements under the Securities Act or the Company's insider trading policy, then the Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (a) the Option Expiration Date and (b) the expiration of a period of three months (or such other period of time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) after the Participant's Termination of Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of the Securities Act or the Company's insider trading policy requirements.

SECTION 8. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of any Incentive Stock Options shall in addition comply in all respects with Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision, and any applicable regulations thereunder, including, to the extent required thereunder, the following:

To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Common Stock with respect to which a Participant's Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other stock option plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations) exceeds $100,000, such portion in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. In the event the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, such limitation shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are granted.

Individuals who are not employees of the Company or one of its parent or subsidiary corporations (as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 422 of the Code) may not be granted Incentive Stock Options.

In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations (a “Ten Percent Stockholder”), shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date. The determination of more than 10% ownership shall be made in accordance with Section 422 of the Code.

Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the Option, the maximum term of an Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed ten years, and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, shall not exceed five years.

An Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent it is exercised (if permitted by the terms of the Option) (a) more than three months after the date of a Participant's Termination of Service if termination was for reasons other than death or disability, (b) more than one year after the date of a Participant's Termination of Service if termination was by reason of disability, or (c) after the Participant has been on leave of absence for more than 90 days, unless the Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or contract.

In order to obtain certain tax benefits afforded to Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code, the Participant must hold the shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option for two years after the Grant Date and one year after the date of exercise.

A Participant may be subject to the alternative minimum tax at the time of exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of such holding periods.

For the purposes of this Section 8 “disability,” “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation” shall have the meanings attributed to those terms for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants at any time on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. An SAR may be granted in tandem with an Option or alone (“freestanding”). The grant price of a tandem SAR shall be equal to the exercise price of the related Option. The grant price of a freestanding SAR shall be established in accordance with procedures for Options set forth in Section 7.2. An SAR may be exercised upon such terms and conditions and for the term as the Committee determines in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the SAR, the maximum term of a freestanding SAR shall be ten years, and in the case of a tandem SAR, (a) the term shall not exceed the term of the related Option and (b) the tandem SAR may be exercised for all or part of the shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option, except that the tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the shares for which its related Option is then exercisable.

Upon the exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in an amount determined by multiplying: (a) the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR by (b) the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the discretion of the Committee as set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award, the payment upon exercise of an SAR may be in cash, in shares, in some combination thereof or in any other manner approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

The Committee shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences a freestanding SAR whether the SAR shall continue to be exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such exercise, after a Termination of Service, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time, provided that any such waiver or modification shall satisfy the requirements under Section 409A.

SECTION 10. STOCK AWARDS, RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS

The Committee may grant Stock Awards, Restricted Stock and Stock Units on such terms and conditions and subject to such repurchase or forfeiture restrictions, if any, which may be based on continuous service with the Company or a Related Company or the achievement of any performance goals, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion, which terms, conditions and restrictions shall be set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award.

Upon the satisfaction of any terms, conditions and restrictions prescribed with respect to Restricted Stock or Stock Units, or upon a Participant's release from any terms, conditions and restrictions of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, as determined by the Committee, and subject to the provisions of Section 13, (a) the shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Award of Restricted Stock shall become freely transferable by the Participant, and (b) Stock Units shall be paid in shares of Common Stock or, if set forth in the instrument evidencing the Awards, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. Any fractional shares subject to such Awards shall be paid to the Participant in cash.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the repurchase or forfeiture period and any other terms, conditions or restrictions on any Restricted Stock or Stock Unit under such circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

SECTION 11. PERFORMANCE AWARDS

The Committee may grant Awards of Performance Shares, designate the Participants to whom Performance Shares are to be awarded and determine the number of Performance Shares and the terms and conditions of each such Award. Performance Shares shall consist of a unit valued by reference to a designated number of shares of Common Stock, the value of which may be paid to the Participant by delivery of shares of Common Stock or, if set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award, of such property as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, other property, or any combination thereof, upon the attainment of performance goals, as established by the Committee, and other terms and conditions specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and Subject to Section 16, the amount to be paid under an Award of Performance Shares may be adjusted on the basis of such further consideration as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

The Committee may grant Awards of Performance Units, designate the Participants to whom Performance Units are to be awarded and determine the number of Performance Units and the terms and conditions of each such Award. Performance Units shall consist of a unit valued by reference to a designated amount of property other than shares of Common Stock, which value may be paid to the Participant by delivery of such property as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, other property, or any combination thereof, upon the attainment of performance goals, as established by the Committee, and other terms and conditions specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 16, the amount to be paid under an Award of Performance Units may be adjusted on the basis of such further consideration as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

SECTION 12. OTHER STOCK OR CASH-BASED AWARDS

Subject to the terms of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, the Committee may grant other incentives payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock under the Plan.

SECTION 13. WITHHOLDING

The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of (a) any taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Award (“tax withholding obligations”) and (b) any amounts due from the Participant to the Company or to any Related Company (“other obligations”) to the extent such amounts are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock or otherwise settle an Award under the Plan until such tax withholding obligations and other obligations are satisfied.

The Committee may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the Participant's tax withholding obligations and other obligations by (a) paying cash to the Company, (b) having the Company withhold an amount from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the Participant, (c) having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the Participant (or become vested, in the case of Restricted Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax withholding obligations and other obligations, or (d) surrendering a number of shares of Common Stock the Participant already owns having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations and other obligations. To the extent required to avoid adverse financial accounting consequences to the Company, the value of the shares so withheld or tendered may not exceed the employer's minimum required tax withholding rate.

SECTION 14. ASSIGNABILITY

No Award or interest in an Award may be sold, assigned, pledged (as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose) or transferred by a Participant or made subject to attachment or similar proceedings otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, except to the extent permitted by the Company, the Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries on a Company-approved form who may exercise the Award or receive payment under the Award after the Participant's death. During a Participant's lifetime, an Award may be exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to assign or transfer an Award subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall specify.

SECTION 15. ADJUSTMENTS

In the event, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend, or other change in the Company's corporate or capital structure results in (a) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or (b) new, different or additional securities of the Company or any other company being received by the holders of shares of Common Stock, then the Committee shall make proportional adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities available for issuance under the Plan; (ii) the maximum number and kind of securities issuable as Incentive Stock Options as set forth in Section 4.2; (iii) the maximum number and kind of securities set forth in Section 16.4; and (iv) the number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding Award and the per share price of such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor. The determination by the Committee, as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services rendered, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, outstanding Awards. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a Company Transaction shall not be governed by this Section 15.1 but shall be governed by Sections 15.2 and 15.3, respectively.

To the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, Awards shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. To the extent a vesting condition, forfeiture provision or repurchase right applicable to an Award has not been waived by the Committee, the Award shall be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise in the instrument evidencing the Award or in a written employment, services or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Related Company, in the event of a Company Transaction that is not (a) a Change in Control or (b) a Related Party Transaction:

(i)         All outstanding Awards, other than Performance Shares and Performance Units, shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable and all applicable restrictions or forfeiture provisions shall lapse immediately prior to the Company Transaction and shall terminate at the effective time of the Company Transaction, if and to the extent such Awards are not converted, assumed or replaced by the Successor Company.

For the purposes of this Section 15.3.1, an Award shall be considered converted, assumed or replaced by the Successor Company if following the Company Transaction the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Company Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the Company Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Company Transaction is not solely common stock of the Successor Company, the Committee may, with the consent of the Successor Company, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, to be solely common stock of the Successor Company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Company Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

(ii)         All Performance Shares or Performance Units earned and outstanding as of the date the Company Transaction is determined to have occurred shall be payable in full at the target level in accordance with the payout schedule pursuant to the Award agreement. Any remaining Performance Shares or Performance Units (including any applicable performance period) for which the payout level has not been determined shall be prorated at the target payout level up to and including the date of such Company Transaction and shall be payable in full at the target level in accordance with the payout schedule pursuant to the Award agreement. Any other restrictions not waived by the Committee in its sole discretion shall remain in effect.

(iii)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may instead provide in the event of a Company Transaction that a Participant's outstanding Awards shall terminate upon or immediately prior to such Company Transaction and

that such Participant shall receive, in exchange therefor, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which (x) the value of the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Company Transaction, or, in the event the Company Transaction is one of the transactions listed under subsection (c) in the definition of Company Transaction or otherwise does not result in direct receipt of consideration by holders of Common Stock, the value of the deemed per share consideration received, in each case as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Awards (to the extent then vested and exercisable or whether or not then vested and exercisable, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) exceeds (y) if applicable, the respective aggregate exercise price or grant price for such Awards.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise in the instrument evidencing the Award or in a written employment, services or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Related Company, in the event of a Change in Control:

(a)         any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred, and which are not then exercisable and vested, shall become fully exercisable and vested to the full extent of the original grant;

(b)         any restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock or Stock Units shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock or Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions and limitations and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant;

(c)         The target payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding Stock Awards and Stock Units with restrictions based on performance criteria, Performance Shares, and Performance Units shall be deemed to have been fully earned based on targeted performance being attained as of the effective date of the Company Transaction, and such Awards all be paid within 60 days following the effective date of the Company Transaction; and

(d)         any restrictions and deferral limitations and other conditions applicable to any other Awards shall lapse, and such other Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations or conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, during the 60-day period from and after a Change in Control (the “Change in Control Exercise Period”), if the Committee shall so determine at, or at any time after, the time of grant, a Participant holding an Option, SAR, Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share, shall have the right, whether or not the Award is fully vested and/or exercisable and without regard to any deferral or other restriction and in lieu of the payment of the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock being purchased under an Option, to elect by giving notice to the Company within the Change in Control Exercise Period to surrender all or part of the Award to the Company and to receive cash, within 30 days of such notice:

(a)         for an Option or SAR, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Acquisition Price per share of Common Stock on the date of such election shall exceed the exercise price per share of Common Stock under the Option, or the grant price per share of Common Stock under the SAR; and

(b)         for a Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share, in an amount equal to the Acquisition Price per share of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock or Performance Share, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock granted under the Award as to which the right granted under this Section 15.3.3 shall have been exercised.

Subject to Sections 15.2 and 15.3, the Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or change in control of the Company, as defined by the Committee, to take such further action as it determines to be necessary or advisable with respect to Awards. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to) establishing, amending or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or restrictions on, Awards so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and the Committee may take such actions with respect to all Participants, to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The Committee may take such action before or after granting Awards to which the action relates and before or after any public announcement with respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or change in control that is the reason for such action.

The grant of Awards shall in no way affect the Company's right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Award, each such Award shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, (a) any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 15 to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A; (b) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 15 to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment the Awards either (i) continue not to be subject to Section 409A or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; and (c) in any event, the Plan Administrator shall not have the authority to make any adjustments pursuant to Section 15 to the extent the existence of such authority would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A at the time of grant to be subject thereto.

SECTION 16. SECTION 162(m) PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Compensation Committee may, at the time of grant of an Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) to a Participant who is then a Covered Employee or is likely to be a Covered Employee as of the end of the tax year in which the Company would claim a tax deduction in connection with such Award, specify that all or any portion of such Award is intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). With respect to each such Award, the Compensation Committee shall establish, in writing, that the vesting and/or payment pursuant to the Award shall be conditioned on the attainment for the specified Performance Period of specified performance targets related to designated performance goals for such period selected by the Compensation Committee from among the Performance Criteria specified in Section 16.2. Such performance goals shall be set by the Compensation Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m), or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder.

If an Award is subject to this Section 16, then the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of cash, shares of Common Stock or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance goals established by the Committee, which shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one of or any combination of the following “performance criteria” for the Company as a whole or any business unit of the Company, as reported or calculated by the Company: net earnings or net income (before or after taxes); earnings per share (basic or fully diluted); net sales growth or bookings growth; revenues; operating profit or income (including or excluding depreciation, amortization, extraordinary items, restructuring charges or other expenses); return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, net capital utilized, equity or sales); working capital; cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow or cash flow return on capital); earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; gross or operating profit; cost control; strategic initiatives; market share; improvements in capital structure; productivity ratios; share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return); expense targets; margins; operating efficiency or margins; capital efficiency; strategic targets; economic profit; employee or customer satisfaction, services performance, subscriber, cash management or asset management metrics; working capital targets; cash value added (“CVA”); or market or economic value added (“EVA”) (together, the “Performance Criteria”).

Such performance goals also may be based on the achievement of specified levels of Company performance (or performance of an applicable affiliate or business unit of the Company) under one or more of the Performance Criteria described above relative to the performance of other corporations. The Compensation Committee may provide in any such Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: a) asset write-downs, (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results, (d) any reorganization and restructuring programs, (e) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year, (f) acquisitions or divestitures, (g) foreign exchange gains and losses, and (h) gains and losses on asset sales. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees, they shall be prescribed in a form that satisfies the requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m), or any successor provision thereto.

After the completion of each Performance Period, the Compensation Committee shall certify the extent to which any Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment, settlement or vesting of any Award

subject to this Section 16. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan other than Section 15, with respect to any Award that is subject to this Section 16, the Compensation Committee may adjust downward, but not upward, the amount payable pursuant to such Award, and the Compensation Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable performance goals except in the case of the death or Disability of the Covered Employee.

The Compensation Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this Section 16 as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for “performance-based” compensation with the meaning of Section 162(m).

Subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 15.1, no Covered Employee may be granted Awards other than Performance Units subject to this Section 16 in any one year period with respect to more than 300,000 shares of Common Stock for such Award; except that the Company may make additional onetime grants of such Awards for up to 200,000 shares to newly hired or newly promoted individuals, and the maximum dollar value payable with respect to Performance Units or other awards payable in cash subject to this Section 16 granted to any Covered Employee in any one calendar year is $1,000,000.

The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this Section 16 as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m), or any successor provision thereto.

SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Board or the Compensation Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment to the Plan; and provided, further, that any amendment that requires stockholder approval may be made only by the Board. Subject to Section 17.3, the Committee may amend the terms of any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively.

Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten years from the Effective Date. After the Plan is terminated, no future Awards may be granted, but Awards previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the Plan's terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Stock Options may be granted more than ten years after the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the approval by the stockholders of any amendment to the Plan that constitutes the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Award shall not, without the Participant's consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any Award theretofore granted to the Participant under the Plan. Any change or adjustment to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be made in a manner so as to constitute a “modification” that would cause such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 15 shall not be subject to these restrictions.

Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Board shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any outstanding Award without the consent of a Participant to the extent the Board deems necessary or advisable to (a) comply with, or take into account, changes in applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules and other applicable law, rules and regulations or (b) to ensure that an Award is not subject to additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 18. GENERAL

No individual or Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and the Company has no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan.

Furthermore, nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related Company to terminate a Participant's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, such issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act or the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction) and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or to register or qualify under the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, any shares of Common Stock, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made.

To the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Award provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.

Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Board, or a committee appointed by the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which such person may be a party or in which such person may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such person in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by such person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding against such person; provided, however, that such person shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such person undertakes to handle and defend it on such person's own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability or expense is a result of such person's own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute.

The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such person may be entitled under the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or of any power that the Company may have to indemnify or hold harmless.

Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in the instrument evidencing the Award or in a written employment, services or other agreement, no Award, other than a Stock Award, shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a stockholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject of such Award.

(a)         In interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall, to the extent permitted by law, be construed as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

(b)         The Plan and Awards granted under the Plan are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A to the maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), the involuntary separation pay plan exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or otherwise. To the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, it is intended that the Plan and any Awards granted under the Plan comply with the deferral, payout and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to the contrary, the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any payments and benefits under the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to which Code Section 409A applies, all references in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to the termination of the

Participant's employment or service are intended to mean the Participant's “separation from service,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i). In addition, if the Participant is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting the Participant to the imposition of any additional tax under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable under the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan during the six-month period immediately following the Participant's “separation from service,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i), shall not be paid to the Participant during such period, but shall instead be accumulated and paid to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant's death, the Participant's estate) in a lump sum on the first business day after the earlier of the date that is six months following the Participant's separation from service or the Participant's death. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Committee, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, reserves the right, but shall not be required, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan so that the Award qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A; provided, however, that the Committee makes no representations that Awards granted under the Plan shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to Awards granted under the Plan.

Without amending the Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Persons who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws or regulations of other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or any Related Company may operate or have employees to ensure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Participants employed in such countries or jurisdictions, meet the requirements that permit the Plan to operate in a qualified or tax-efficient manner, comply with applicable foreign laws or regulations and meet the objectives of the Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or shares of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all the business and/or assets of the Company.

If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Committee's determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

The Plan, all Awards granted thereunder and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. Participants irrevocably consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of California.

The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

SECTION 19. EFFECTIVE DATE

The effective date (the “Effective Date”) is the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board. If the stockholders of the Company do not approve the Plan within 12 months after the Board's adoption of the Plan, any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.
