On May 9, 2019, at the Annual Meeting described under

The following is a brief description of the terms and conditions
of the Plan. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, a more

The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common
stock. In addition, shares of common stock subject to outstanding options and restricted stock units under the 2010 Plan as of
May 9, 2019 that subsequently cease to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards
in vested or nonforfeitable shares) will become available for grant under the Plan, up to a maximum of 1,913,024 shares. Shares
may be issued under the Plan pursuant to awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock and
stock units, performance awards and other stock- or cash-based awards. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
and the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the “Committee”) are authorized to administer the Plan.
The Plan will terminate on March 13, 2029, unless terminated earlier
by the Board or the Committee.
