Officer of the Company all or part of the Administrator’s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards to
individuals who are (i) not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (ii) not

SECTION
3.
STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS;
SUBSTITUTION
(a)
Stock
Issuable
. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 shares,
subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3. For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any
Awards that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Stock
available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares shall not be added to the shares authorized
for grant under the Plan: (i) shares tendered or held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise
price or tax withholding and (ii) shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock
settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise thereof. In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the
open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall
limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however,
that Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to no more than 1,000,000 shares of Stock may be granted to any one
individual grantee during any one calendar year period, and no more than 2,000,000 shares of Stock may be issued in the form of
Incentive Stock Options. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares
of Stock reacquired by the Company.
(b)
Maximum
Awards to Non-Employee Directors
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the value of all Awards awarded under
this Plan and all other cash compensation paid by the Company to any Non-Employee Director in any calendar year shall not exceed
$600,000. For the purpose of this limitation, the value of any Award shall be its grant date fair value, as determined in accordance
with ASC 718 or successor provision but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting provisions.
(c)
Changes
in Stock
. Subject to Section 3(d) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding
shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the
Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed
with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company
or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment
in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that may be issued
in the form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that can be granted to any
one individual grantee and the maximum number of shares that may be granted under a Performance-Based Award, (iii) the number
and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iv) the repurchase price, if any,
per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (v) the exercise price for each share subject to any then
outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the
exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number
of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration
cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator
shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment,
but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.
(d)
Mergers
and Other Transactions
. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the parties thereto may cause the
assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new
Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate,
the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the
assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards
granted hereunder shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Certificate, all Awards
with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the
Sale Event, and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested
and nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant
Award Certificate. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or
provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the
cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Sale Price multiplied by the number of shares of Stock
subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale
Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; or (ii) each grantee
shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator,
to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such grantee. The Company
shall also have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding
other Awards in an amount equal to the Sale Price multiplied by the number of vested shares of Stock under such Awards.
SECTION
4.
ELIGIBILITY
Grantees
under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of the Company
and its Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
SECTION
5.
STOCK OPTIONS
(a)
Award
of Stock Options
. The Administrator may grant Stock Options under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall
be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve.
Stock
Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may
be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning
of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed
a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Stock
Options granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such
additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the
Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject
to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.
(b)
Exercise
Price
. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall
be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the
date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the option price of such Incentive
Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date.
(c)
Option
Term
. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than
ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent
Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.
(d)
Exercisability;
Rights of a Stockholder
. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as
shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability
of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon
the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.
(e)
Method
of Exercise
. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the
Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following
methods except to the extent otherwise provided in the Option Award Certificate:
(i) In
cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;
(ii) Through
the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the Company may prescribe) of shares of Stock that
are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the
exercise date;
(iii) By
the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker
to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that
in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such
procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such
payment procedure; or
(iv) With
respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the
Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market
Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.
Payment
instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer
agent of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the
optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full
purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award Certificate or applicable
provisions of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect
to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation
method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number
of attested shares. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated
system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless
exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
(f)
Annual
Limit on Incentive Stock Options
. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422
of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become
exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock
Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
SECTION
6.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
(a)
Award
of Stock Appreciation Rights
. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right
is an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of
a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares
of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised.
(b)
Exercise
Price of Stock Appreciation Rights
. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of
the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.
(c)
Grant
and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights
. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of
any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan.
(d)
Terms
and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights
. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall
be determined on the date of grant by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years. The
terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among
individual Awards and grantees.
SECTION
7.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
(a)
Nature
of Restricted Stock Awards
. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is
any Award of Restricted Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant.
Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance
goals and objectives.
(b)
Rights
as a Stockholder
. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall
have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Shares and receipt of dividends; provided that if
the lapse of restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Award is tied to the attainment of performance goals, any dividends
paid by the Company during the performance period shall accrue and shall not be paid to the grantee until and to the extent the
performance goals are met with respect to the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, (i)
uncertificated Restricted Shares shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the
effect that they are subject to forfeiture until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii)
certificated Restricted Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided
in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments
of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe.
(c)
Restrictions
.
Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically
provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either
in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 17 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a grantee’s employment
(or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Shares that have
not vested at the time of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of notice to such grantee from or other
action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at its original purchase price (if any)
from such grantee or such grantee’s legal representative simultaneously with such termination of employment (or other service
relationship), and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as
a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of Restricted Shares that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee
shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.
(d)
Vesting
of Restricted Shares
. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established
performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Shares and the Company’s
right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established
performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted
Shares and shall be deemed “vested.”
SECTION
8.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
(a)
Nature
of Restricted Stock Units
. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit is an
Award of stock units that may be settled in shares of Stock upon the satisfaction of such restrictions and conditions at the time
of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established
performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such
terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. Except in the case of Restricted Stock Units with a deferred
settlement date that complies with Section 409A, at the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested,
shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock. Restricted Stock Units with deferred settlement dates are subject to Section
409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order
to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
(b)
Election
to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation
. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee
to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of an award of Restricted
Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified
by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator.
Any such future cash compensation that the grantee elects to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Stock Units
based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee if such payment
had not been deferred as provided herein. The Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances
to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate.
Any Restricted Stock Units that are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise
provided in the Award Certificate.
(c)
Rights
as a Stockholder
. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon
settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with
respect to the stock units underlying his Restricted Stock Units, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may
determine.
(d)
Termination
.
Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 17 below,
in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically
terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries
for any reason.
SECTION
9.
UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
Grant
or Sale of Unrestricted Stock
. The Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined
by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the
grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect
of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.
SECTION
10.
CASH-BASED AWARDS
Grant
of Cash-Based Awards
. The Administrator may grant Cash-Based Awards under the Plan. A Cash-Based Award is an Award that entitles
the grantee to a payment in cash upon the attainment of specified performance goals. The Administrator shall determine the maximum
duration of the Cash-Based Award, the amount of cash to which the Cash-Based Award pertains, the conditions upon which the Cash-Based
Award shall become vested or payable, and such other provisions as the Administrator shall determine. Each Cash-Based Award shall
specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as determined by the Administrator. Payment, if any, with
respect to a Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash.
SECTION
11.
PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES
(a)
Performance-Based
Awards
. The Administrator may grant one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted
Stock Units or Cash-Based Award payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Administrator and
relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined
by the Administrator. The Administrator shall define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria
it selects to use for any Performance Cycle. Depending on the Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the
Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance or the performance of a division, business unit, or
an individual. Each Performance-Based Award shall comply with the provisions set forth below.
(b)
Grant
of Performance-Based Awards
. With respect to each Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Administrator
shall select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m)
of the Code) the Performance Criteria for such grant, and the Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Criterion (including
a threshold level of performance below which no amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-Based
Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount payable, upon achievement of the various applicable
performance targets. The Performance Criteria established by the Administrator may be (but need not be) different for each Performance
Cycle and different Performance Goals may be applicable to Performance-Based Awards to different Covered Employees.
(c)
Payment
of Performance-Based Awards
. Following the completion of a Performance Cycle, the Administrator shall meet to review and certify
in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle have been achieved and, if so, to also
calculate and certify in writing the amount of the Performance-Based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The Administrator
shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee’s Performance-Based Award.
(d)
Maximum
Award Payable
. The maximum Performance-Based Award payable to any one Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance Cycle
is 1,000,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c) hereof) or $3,000,000 in the case of a Performance-Based
Award that is a Cash-Based Award.
SECTION
12.
DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS
(a)
Dividend
Equivalent Rights
. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an
Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified
in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend
Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an award of Restricted Stock Units or as a freestanding
award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Certificate. Dividend equivalents
credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares
of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date
of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend
Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments.
A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent
Right shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend
Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award.
(b)
Termination
.
Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 17 below,
in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate
upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries
for any reason.
SECTION
13.
Transferability of Awards
(a)
Transferability
.
Except as provided in Section 13(b) below, during a grantee’s lifetime, his or her Awards shall be exercisable only
by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee’s incapacity. No
Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment,
execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void.
(b)
Administrator
Action
. Notwithstanding Section 13(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award Certificate
regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer his or
her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to
partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company
to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award. In no event may an Award be transferred
by a grantee for value.
(c)
Family
Member
. For purposes of Section 13(b), “family member” shall mean a grantee’s child, stepchild, grandchild,
parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee’s household (other than
a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest,
a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons
(or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests.
(d)
Designation
of Beneficiary
. To the extent permitted by the Company, each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate
a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s
death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not be effective until
received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries
have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate.
SECTION
14.
TAX WITHHOLDING
(a)
Payment
by Grantee
. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts
received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company,
or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required
by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted
by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s
obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding
obligations being satisfied by the grantee.
(b)
Payment
in Stock
. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee may elect to have the Company’s required tax withholding
obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to
any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy
the withholding amount due; provided, however, that to the extent necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment such share withholding
may be limited to the minimum required tax withholding obligation. The Administrator may also require Awards to be subject to
mandatory share withholding up to the required withholding amount. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair Market Value of
withheld shares shall be determined in the same manner as the value of Stock includible in income of the Participants.
SECTION
15.
Section 409A awards
To
the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section
409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator
from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation
from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee”
(within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months
and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such
delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to
Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any such Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A.
SECTION
16.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, TRANSFER, LEAVE
OF ABSENCE, ETC.
(a)
Termination
of Employment
. If the grantee’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary, the grantee shall be deemed to have terminated employment
for purposes of the Plan.
(b) For
purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:
(i) a
transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another;
or
(ii) an
approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s
right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence
was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.
SECTION
17.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The
Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding
Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect
rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. Except as provided in Section 3(c) or 3(d), without prior
stockholder approval, in no event may the Administrator exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock
Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect repricing through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation of Stock Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash or other Awards. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange
or market system on which the Stock is listed, to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure
that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, or to ensure that compensation
earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, Plan amendments shall be
subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 17
shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c) or 3(d).
SECTION
18.
STATUS OF PLAN
With
respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received
by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator
shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize
the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect
to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.
SECTION
19.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a)
No
Distribution
. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with
the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.
(b)
Delivery
of Stock Certificates
. Stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the
Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the
grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for
all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with
proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the
Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing
shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel
(to the extent the Administrator deems such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery of such certificates
is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any
exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan shall
be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with
federal, state or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted
or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In
addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants,
agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with
any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any
timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as
may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.
(c)
Stockholder
Rights
. Until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 19(b), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other
rights of a stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the
exercise of a Stock Option or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.
(d)
Other
Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights
. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other
or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable
only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued
employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.
(e)
Trading
Policy Restrictions
. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading
policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.
(f)
Clawback
Policy
. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time.
SECTION
20.

Plan shall become effective upon stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law, the Company’s bylaws and
articles of incorporation, and applicable stock exchange rules. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder
after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder after the tenth
anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Board.
