PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, March 3, 2022

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders of Beyond Air, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and any postponements, adjournments or continuations thereof, which we refer to as the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, March 3, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, at the offices of Beyond Air, Inc., 900 Stewart Avenue, Suite 301, Garden City, New York, 11530. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which we refer to as the “Notice,” containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our annual report is first being mailed on or about January 21, 2022 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The information provided in the “question and answer” format below is for your convenience only and is merely a summary of the information contained in this proxy statement. You should read this entire proxy statement carefully. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not intended to be incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and references to our website address in this proxy statement are inactive textual references only.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD ON MARCH 3, 2022. Our proxy statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 are available at proxyvote.com.

What matters am I voting on?

You will be voting on:

	●	the election of seven directors, each to hold office until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified;
	●	a proposal to ratify the appointment of Friedman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2022;
	●	a proposal to approve the Fourth Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 2,000,000; and
	●	any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on these proposals?

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote:

	●	“FOR” the election of each director nominee;
	●	“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Friedman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2022; and
	●	“FOR” the approval of the Fourth Amended and Restated 2013 Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 2,000,000.

Who is entitled to vote?

Holders of our common stock as of the close of business on January 10, 2022, the record date for the Annual Meeting, may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 29,668,272 shares of our common stock outstanding. In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, each stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held by such stockholder on the record date. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes with respect to the election of directors.

Registered Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares and the Notice was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to these registered stockholders as “stockholders of record.”

Street Name Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are held on your behalf in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered to be the beneficial owner of shares that are held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares of our common stock in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. If you request a printed copy of our proxy materials by mail, your broker, bank or other nominee will provide a voting instruction form for you to use. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as “street name stockholders.”

What is a “broker non-vote”?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held by a broker, bank, trust or other nominee and you do not provide your broker, bank, trust or other nominee with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes”. Broker non-votes occur on a matter when the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is not permitted under applicable stock exchange rules to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters.

How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

	●	Proposal No. 1: The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the shares of our common stock present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. “Plurality” means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “for” are elected as directors. As a result, any shares not voted “for” a particular nominee (whether as a result of stockholder abstention or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. You may vote “for” or “withhold” on each of the nominees for election as a director.

	●	Proposal No. 2: The ratification of the appointment of Friedman LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Because this proposal is considered a “routine” matter under applicable stock exchange rules, there will not be any broker non-votes on this proposal.

	●	Proposal No. 3: The approval of the Fourth Amended and Restated 2013 Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

What is the quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting for the Annual Meeting to be properly held under our amended and restated bylaws (“Bylaws”) and Delaware law. The presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, of a majority of all outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withhold votes and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

How do I vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, there are four ways to vote:

VOTE BY INTERNET www.proxyvote.com

Use the Internet to transmit your voting instructions and for electronic delivery of information. Vote by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 2, 2022. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the web site and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form.

If you would like to reduce the costs incurred by our company in mailing proxy materials, you can consent to receiving all future proxy statements, proxy cards and annual reports electronically via e-mail or the Internet. To sign up for electronic delivery, please follow the instructions above to vote using the Internet and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access proxy materials electronically in future years.

VOTE BY PHONE 1-800-690-6903

Use any touch-tone telephone to transmit your voting instructions. Vote by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 2, 2022. Have your proxy card in hand when you call and then follow the instructions.

VOTE BY MAIL

Mark, sign and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided or return it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717.

VOTE IN PERSON

The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, March 3, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, at our offices located at 900 Stewart Avenue, Suite 301, Garden City, New York 11530.

Depending on concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Beyond Air, Inc. may hold a virtual Annual Meeting. The determination to hold a virtual Annual Meeting will be announced in a press release available at www.beyondair.net as soon as practicable before the meeting. In that event, the Annual Meeting would be conducted solely virtually, on the above date and time, via live webcast.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we recommend that you also vote by proxy so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend.

If you are a street name stockholder, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Street name stockholders should generally be able to vote by returning an instruction card, or by telephone or on the Internet. However, the availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee. As discussed above, if you are a street name stockholder, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy any time before the Annual Meeting by:

	●	entering a new vote by Internet or by telephone;
	●	completing and mailing a later-dated proxy card;

	●	notifying the Secretary of Beyond Air, Inc., in writing, at 900 Stewart Avenue, Suite 301, Garden City, NY 11530; or
	●	completing a written ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a street name stockholder, your broker, bank or other nominee can provide you with instructions on how to change your vote.

What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting in person?

Space for the Annual Meeting is limited. Therefore, admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will open at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and the Annual Meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Each stockholder should be prepared to present:

	●	valid government photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport; and
	●	if you are a street name stockholder, proof of beneficial ownership as of January 10, 2022, the record date, such as your most recent account statement reflecting your stock ownership as of January 10, 2022, along with a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee or similar evidence of ownership.

Use of cameras, recording devices, computers and other electronic devices, such as smart phones and tablets, will not be permitted at the Annual Meeting. Please allow ample time for check-in. Parking is limited.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. Steven Lisi, our Chairman and CEO, and Adam Newman, our General Counsel, have been designated as proxy holders by our Board of Directors. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors as described above. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote the shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned, the proxy holders can vote the shares on the new Annual Meeting date as well, unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described above.

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, primarily via the Internet. The Notice containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials is first being mailed on or about January 21, 2022 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may request to receive all future proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail by following the instructions contained in the Notice. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of our proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings of stockholders.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting?

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending our proxy materials to you if a broker, bank or other nominee holds shares of our common stock on your behalf. In addition, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Our directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of our common stock in street name for their customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on “routine” matters: the proposal to ratify the appointment of Friedman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Your broker will not have discretion to vote on the election of directors or the approval of the Fourth Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, each of which is a “non-routine” matter, absent direction from you.

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

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these materials. To receive a separate copy, or, if a stockholder is receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials, such stockholder may contact us at the following address:

Beyond Air, Inc.

Attention: Investor Relations

900 Stewart Avenue., Suite 301

Garden City, NY 11530

Tel: (516) 665-8200

Street name stockholders may contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request information about householding.

During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, our Board of Directors held four meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served.

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board of Directors at annual meetings of stockholders, we strongly encourage our directors to attend. Two of our directors attended our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The current members of our compensation committee are Yoori Lee, Erick J. Lucera and Ron Bentsur, with Yoori Lee serving as chairperson.

Audit Committee

The primary purpose of our audit committee is to assist our Board of Directors in the oversight of the integrity of our accounting and financial reporting process, the audits of our consolidated financial statements, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our audit committee met four times during the year ended March 31, 2021. The functions of our audit committee include, among other things:

	●	hiring the independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements and monitoring its independence and performance;
	●	reviewing and approving the planned scope of the annual audit and the results of the annual audit;
	●	pre-approving all audit services and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm;
	●	reviewing the significant accounting and reporting principles to understand their impact on our consolidated financial statements;
	●	reviewing our internal financial, operating and accounting controls with management, our independent registered public accounting firm and our internal audit provider;
	●	reviewing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, as appropriate, our financial reports, earnings announcements and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
	●	periodically reviewing and discussing with management the effectiveness and adequacy of our system of internal controls;
	●	in consultation with management and the independent auditors, reviewing the integrity of our financial reporting process and adequacy of disclosure controls;
	●	reviewing potential conflicts of interest under and violations of our code of conduct;
	●	establishing procedures for the treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and confidential submissions by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters;
	●	reviewing and approving related-party transactions; and
	●	reviewing and evaluating, at least annually, our audit committee’s charter.

With respect to reviewing and approving related-party transactions, our audit committee will review related-party transactions for potential conflicts of interests or other improprieties. Under SEC rules, related-party transactions are those transactions to which we are or may be a party in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of our directors or executive officers or any other related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, excluding, among other things, compensation arrangements with respect to employment and Board of Directors membership. Our audit committee could approve a related-party transaction if it determines that the transaction is in our best interests. Our directors are required to disclose to this committee or the full Board of Directors any potential conflict of interest, or personal interest in a transaction that our Board of Directors is considering. Our executive officers are required to disclose any related-party transaction to the audit committee. We also poll our directors on an annual basis with respect to related-party transactions and their service as an officer or director of other entities. Any director involved in a related-party transaction that is being reviewed or approved must recuse himself or herself from participation in any related deliberation or decision. Whenever possible, the transaction should be approved in advance and if not approved in advance, must be submitted for ratification as promptly as practical.

The financial literacy requirements of the SEC require that each member of our audit committee be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. In addition, at least one member of our audit committee must qualify as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, and have financial sophistication in accordance with the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules. Our Board of Directors has determined that Erick Lucera qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.

Both our independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

Our audit committee charter is available on our website at www.beyondair.net under “Investors—Governance—Governance Documents”.

Compensation Committee

The primary purpose of our compensation committee is to assist our Board of Directors in exercising its responsibilities relating to compensation of our executive officers and employees and to administer our equity compensation and other benefit plans. Our compensation committee met one time during the year ended March 31, 2021. In carrying out these responsibilities, this committee reviews all components of executive officer and employee compensation for consistency with its compensation philosophy, as in effect from time to time. The functions of our compensation committee include, among other things:

	●	designing and implementing competitive compensation, retention and severance policies to attract and retain key personnel;
	●	reviewing and formulating policy and determining the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, our other executive officers and employees;
	●	reviewing and recommending to our Board of Directors the compensation of our non-employee directors;
	●	reviewing and evaluating our compensation risk policies and procedures;
	●	administering our equity incentive plans and granting equity awards to our employees, consultants and directors under these plans;
	●	administering our performance bonus plans and granting bonus opportunities to our employees, consultants and non-employee directors under these plans;
	●	if required from time to time, preparing the analysis or reports on executive officer compensation required to be included in our annual proxy statement;
	●	engaging compensation consultants or other advisors it deems appropriate to assist with its duties; and
	●	reviewing and evaluating, at least annually, our compensation committee’s charter.

The compensation committee retains sole authority to hire any compensation consultant, approve such consultant’s compensation, determine the nature and scope of its services, evaluate its performance, and terminate its engagement.

The compensation committee reviews our compensation policies and practices for all employees, including our named executive officers, as they relate to risk management practices and risk-taking incentives to assess and determine that there are no risks arising from these policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Our compensation committee charter is available on our website at www.beyondair.net under “Investors—Governance—Governance Documents”.

Nominating Committee

The primary purpose of our nominating committee is to assist our Board of Directors in promoting the best interest of our company and our stockholders through the implementation of sound corporate governance principles and practices. Our nominating committee met one time during the year ended March 31, 2021. The functions of our nominating committee include, among other things:

	●	identifying, reviewing and evaluating candidates to serve on our Board of Directors;
	●	determining the minimum qualifications for service on our Board of Directors;
	●	developing and recommending to our Board of Directors an annual self-evaluation process for our Board of Directors and overseeing the annual self-evaluation process;
	●	developing, as appropriate, a set of corporate governance principles, and reviewing and recommending to our Board of Directors any changes to such principles; and
	●	periodically reviewing and evaluating our nominating committee’s charter.

Our nominating committee charter is available on our website at www.beyondair.net under “Investors—Governance—Governance Documents”.

Director Candidates

Our Board of Directors has a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing the management of our business, and accordingly, we seek to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time to engage in the activities of our Board of Directors and to understand and enhance their knowledge of our industry and business plans. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates, our Board of Directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, may take into account many factors, including: personal and professional integrity; ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; strong finance experience; experience relevant to our industry; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of our operations; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to our business relative to other board members; diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. The core competencies of directors should address accounting or finance experience, market familiarity, business or management experience, industry knowledge, customer-base experience or perspective, crisis response, leadership, and/or strategic planning. Our Board of Directors evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.

Our Board of Directors will consider candidates for director recommended by stockholders, so long as such recommendations comply with our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, nominating committee charter and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. Our Board of Directors will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with our Bylaws and our policies and procedures for director candidates, including our corporate governance guidelines. This process is designed to ensure that our Board of Directors includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination should contact us in writing. Such recommendations must include information about the candidate, a statement of support by the recommending stockholder, evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of our common stock and a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve on our Board of Directors.

Stockholder Communications

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding stockholder communications with our Board of Directors, stockholders may communicate with our Board of Directors, or any individual director on our Board of Directors, by writing to us at the address of our principal executive offices, addressing the communication to the attention of our Chief Executive Officer, and specifying the Board of Directors or, if applicable, the individual member thereof as the intended recipient of the communication. Our Corporate Secretary will forward to the directors all communications that, in his judgment, are appropriate for consideration by the directors. Examples of communications that would not be appropriate for consideration by the directors include commercial solicitations and matters not relevant to the stockholders, to the functioning of the Board of Directors or to the affairs of our Company. Any correspondence received that is addressed generically to the Board of Directors will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors does not have a formal policy on whether or not the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate and believes that it should retain the flexibility to make this determination in the manner it believes will provide the most appropriate leadership for our company from time to time. Currently, Steven Lisi serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, working closely with former CEO and present COO and President, Amir Avniel. We do not have a lead independent director. Mr. Lisi sets the strategic direction for the company and provides day-to-day leadership. As Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Lisi further oversees the agenda for board meetings in collaboration with the other board members. Our Board believes that it is in the best interest of the company and its stockholders for Mr. Lisi to serve in both roles at this time given his knowledge of our company and industry. We believe that this structure provides appropriate leadership and oversight of the company and facilitates effective functioning of both management and our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors will continue to reassess the structure to determine what is in the best interests of the Company and stockholders.

The Board of Directors oversees our exposure to risk through its interaction with management and receipt from management of periodic reports outlining matters related to financial, operational, regulatory, legal and strategic risks. Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board of Directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings, and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the Board of Directors at regular board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all our directors, officers (including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and any person performing similar functions) and employees. We have made our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics available on our website at www.beyondair.net under “Investors—Governance—Governance Documents”. We expect that any future amendments to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.

Hedging Transactions

Our Insider Trading Policy requires that all speculative hedging by our employees (including officers) and directors be pre-cleared by the Company and prohibits the purchase of public puts and calls by such individuals, in each case, even when not in possession of material non-public information. Except for the foregoing, we do not have a policy that prohibits our directors and our officers and other employees from purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or to otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset, or that are designed to hedge or offset, risks of any decrease in the market value of our common stock or other equity securities granted to the employee or director as part of their compensation, or held, directly or indirectly, by the employee or director. Therefore such transactions described in the foregoing sentence are generally permitted.

Director Compensation

Persons serving as both an officer and a director of the Company are only included in the Executive Compensation Table for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Name	Fees earned or paid in cash ($)		Stock awards ($)		Option awards ($) (1) (2)		Non-equity incentive plan compensation ($)		Nonqualified deferred compensation earnings ($)		All Other Compensation ($)		Total ($)

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our audit committee has appointed Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), independent registered public accountants, to audit our financial statements for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Friedman has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since April 16, 2019. Prior to the appointment of Friedman, we had appointed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 on November 9, 2018 and dismissed Marcum on April 16, 2019.

During the Company’s two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, (i) there were no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, or financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Marcum has not issued any reports on the financial statements of the Company.

We requested that Marcum furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Marcum’s letter dated April 17, 2019 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2019.

On April 16, 2019, our audit committee approved the appointment of Friedman as our independent registered public accounting firm. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the transition period ended March 31, 2018, and the subsequent interim periods, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Friedman regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Friedman concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Notwithstanding the appointment of Friedman and even if our stockholders ratify the appointment, our audit committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during our fiscal year if our audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Friedman as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Our audit committee is submitting the appointment of Friedman to our stockholders because we value our stockholders’ views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. Representatives of Friedman will be present at the Annual Meeting either in person or by teleconference, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.

If our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Friedman, our Board of Directors may reconsider the appointment.

Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 for professional services rendered by Friedman for the audit of our annual financial statements provided by Friedman in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for this fiscal period were as follows:

	Year Ended March 31, 2021		Year Ended March 31, 2020

Audit Fees	$	150,600	$	207,250
Audit Related Fees	$	-		-
Tax Fees	$	-		-
All Other Fees	$	-		-
Total	$	150,600	$	207,250

In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our independent registered public accounting firm for services provided in auditing our annual financial statements for the subject year. Audit fees also include professional services performed for filing of our registration statement on Form S-1 and S-3 for equity offerings, Form S-8 for shares of our common stock underlying our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and other filings. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors

The audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the audit committee before the respective services were rendered.

The Board of Directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Friedman and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit, if any, is compatible with maintaining Friedman’s independence.

Vote Required

The ratification of the appointment of Friedman as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote AGAINST the proposal. Because the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter under applicable stock exchange rules, there will not be any broker non-votes with respect to this proposal. If a proxy card is signed and returned but no direction is made, the persons named in your proxy will vote your shares “FOR” this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF FRIEDMAN.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee is a committee of the Board of Directors comprised solely of independent directors as required by the Nasdaq listing standards and rules and regulations of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors, which is available on our website at www.beyondair.net under “Investors—Governance—Governance Documents”. The composition of the audit committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the audit committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. The audit committee will review and assesses the adequacy of its charter and the audit committee’s performance on an annual basis.

With respect to the company’s financial reporting process, the management of the company is responsible for (1) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (2) preparing the company’s financial statements. The company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Friedman LLP (Friedman), is responsible for auditing these financial statements. It is the responsibility of the audit committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the audit committee to prepare the company’s financial statements. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management. In the performance of its oversight function, the audit committee has:

	●	reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 with management and Friedman;
	●	discussed with Friedman the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) and the SEC; and
	●	received written disclosures and the letter from Friedman required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Friedman its independence.

Based on the audit committee’s review and discussions with management and Friedman, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 for filing with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the audit committee of the Board of Directors:

Erick Lucera (Chair)

Ron Bentsur

Robert Carey

This report of the audit committee is required by the SEC and, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, will not be deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act, or under the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and will not otherwise be deemed “soliciting material” or “filed” under either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

APPROVAL OF THE FOURTH AMENDED and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan

The Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve the Beyond Air Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Plan, as amended and restated (the “Fourth Amended Plan”). On January 9, 2022, acting on the recommendation of our compensation committee, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the Fourth Amended Plan, subject to stockholder approval and, accordingly, the Board of Directors directed that the Fourth Amended Plan be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.

The Fourth Amended Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Beyond Air, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Plan, which was first adopted by the Board of Directors in 2013, then amended and restated in August 2018, March 2020 and March 2021 (the “Third Amended Plan”). Stockholder approval of the Fourth Amended Plan is being sought in order to meet Nasdaq listing requirements.

Our Board of Directors believes that our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain talented employees, consultants and directors and that the ability to grant equity awards is a necessary and powerful recruiting and retention tool for our company. The Board of Directors believes that equity awards motivate high levels of performance, more closely align the interests of employees, consultants, directors and stockholders by giving employees, consultants and directors an opportunity to hold an ownership stake in our company, and provide an effective means of recognizing employee contributions to the success of the company. The only change to the Third Amended Plan is to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance by an additional 2,000,000 shares, for an aggregate of 7,600,000 shares to be reserved. Other than adding these additional shares for issuance, the Third Amended Plan has not been amended in any way.

Reasons for Voting for the Proposal

●

For the following principal reasons, we request that the stockholders approve the Fourth Amended Plan and increase the available shares by an additional 2,000,000 shares:

	○	We no longer have adequate equity incentive shares available in plan reserve to attract, retain and motivate employees and consultants to execute our current strategic plan.
	○	Substantially all of our outstanding stock options have exercise prices that are not significantly lower than the market price of our common stock, and therefore do not currently serve as an effective employee incentive compensation tool.
	○	We believe that our employees, consultants and directors are our critical corporate assets and that the approval of the Fourth Amended Plan is crucial to the Company’s future success.
	○	We depend heavily on equity incentive awards to attract and retain top-caliber employees, consultants and directors. The ability to grant equity awards is a necessary and powerful recruiting and retention tool for us to retain and motivate the quality personnel we need to drive our long-term growth and financial success.
	○	We believe that equity awards are a vital component of our employee, consultant and director compensation programs, since they allow us to compensate employees and consultants based on Company performance, while at the same time, provide an incentive to build long-term stockholder value.
	○	If we do not have a sufficient number of shares available to grant under our plan, we may need to instead offer material cash-based incentive to compete for talent, which could impact our results of operations and balance sheet and may make us less competitive compared to other medical device technology companies and our peer companies in hiring and retaining top talent.

In consideration of the above factors, the Board determined that we should seek stockholder approval for the Fourth Amended Plan to effect a 2,000,000 share increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance, to allow for anticipated employee incentive program needs for the balance of 2022.

As of September 30, 2021, there were 4,271,660 shares of common stock subject to outstanding option awards and 537,200 restricted shares outstanding under the Third Amended Plan. There were also 520,011 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future awards. The weighted-average exercise price of outstanding stock option awards was $4.98 per share as of September 30, 2021. If this Proposal No. 3 is approved by our stockholders, an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock will be authorized for issuance under the Fourth Amended Plan, which would provide us with approximately 2,520,011 shares (based on the proposed 2,000,000 share increase plus the number of shares available for grant under the Third Amended Plan as of September 30, 2021). We anticipate the proposed 2,000,000 share increase will provide us with a pool of shares we expect will last for approximately 12 months. However, a change in business conditions, Company strategy or equity market performance could alter this projection. If this proposal is approved, we intend to register the additional shares available for grant under the Fourth Amended Plan on Form S-8 prior to making awards of such additional shares.

Based on our 29,668,272 total shares of common stock outstanding as of January 10, 2022, 4,271,660 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2021 and 3,017,959 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2021, if all issued and outstanding stock options and warrants as of September 30, 2021 were exercised, there would be 36,957,891 shares of common stock outstanding. The final determination of the number of shares granted under the Fourth Amended Plan will be determined by the compensation committee.

If the Fourth Amended Plan is not approved by our stockholders, the Third Amended Plan will remain in effect and awards will continue to be made under Third Amended Plan to the extent any shares remain available. However, we may not be able to continue our equity incentive program in an amount sufficient to provide competitive equity compensation. This could preclude us from successfully attracting and retaining highly skilled employees, consultants and directors. The Board of Directors believes that the Fourth Amended Plan will be sufficient to achieve our recruiting, retention and incentive goals for the next twelve months and will be essential to our future success.

Our executive officers and directors have an interest in the approval of the Fourth Amended Plan by our stockholders because they are eligible to receive awards under the Fourth Amended Plan.

Description of the Fourth Amended Plan

The following paragraphs provide a summary of the principal features of the Fourth Amended Plan and its operation. However, this summary is not a complete description of all of the provisions of the Fourth Amended Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the specific language of the Fourth Amended Plan. A copy of the Fourth Amended Plan is provided as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Purposes. The purposes of the Fourth Amended Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility; to provide additional incentive to employees, directors, and consultants; and to promote the success of our business. These incentives will be provided through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance shares as the administrator of the Fourth Amended Plan may determine.

Authorized Shares. Subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the Fourth Amended Plan, assuming this Proposal No. 3 is approved by our stockholders, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Fourth Amended Plan would equal 7,600,000.

The shares reserved for issuance under the plan may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares. If an option or stock appreciation right expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or if shares subject to other types of awards are forfeited to or repurchased by us due to failure to vest, those shares will become available for issuance again under the Fourth Amended Plan. With respect to stock appreciation rights settled in common stock, the net number of shares exercised under the stock appreciation right award will cease to be available under the Fourth Amended Plan. In addition, to the extent that we pay out an award in cash rather than common stock, such cash payment will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Fourth Amended Plan.

Plan Administration. The Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors administers the Fourth Amended Plan. With respect to awards granted or to be granted to certain officers and key employees intended to be an exempt transaction under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”), the members of the committee administering the Fourth Amended Plan with respect to those awards must qualify as “non-employee directors” under Rule 16b-3 and only such non-employee directors will administer the Fourth Amended Plan with respect to such awards.

Subject to the provisions of the Fourth Amended Plan, the administrator has the power to determine the award recipients and the terms of the awards not inconsistent with the Fourth Amended Plan, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each such award, the exercisability of the awards, and the form of consideration, if any, payable by an optionholder upon exercise. The administrator has the authority to amend existing awards, to determine fair market value of shares, to construe and interpret the Fourth Amended Plan and awards granted under the Fourth Amended Plan, to implement an exchange program, to establish rules and regulations, including sub-plans for the purpose of satisfying, or qualifying for favorable tax treatment under, applicable laws in jurisdictions outside of the U.S., and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administering the Fourth Amended Plan. The administrator’s decisions and interpretations are final and binding on all participants and any other holders of awards, and are given the maximum deference permitted by law.

Eligibility. The Fourth Amended Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and performance shares to our employees, consultants, and non-employee directors and employees and consultants of our subsidiary corporations. We are able to grant incentive stock options under the Fourth Amended Plan only to individuals who, as of the time of grant, are employees of ours or of any parent or subsidiary corporation of ours. As of January 10, 2022, we had five non-employee directors, and 56 employees (including three executive officers) and eight consultants, who are eligible to receive awards under the Fourth Amended Plan.

Stock Options. Each option granted under the Fourth Amended Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock subject to the option, vesting provisions, the maximum term of the option, forms of consideration for exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the administrator determines, subject to the terms of the Fourth Amended Plan. The exercise price of options granted under the Fourth Amended Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, except in special, limited circumstances as set forth in the Fourth Amended Plan.

On January 10, 2022, the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $8.68 per share.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of the underlying shares between the exercise date and the date of grant. Each stock appreciation right will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the base price, the term of the stock appreciation right, and other terms and conditions as determined by the administrator, subject to the terms of the Fourth Amended Plan. The per share exercise price of a stock appreciation right will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share of common stock on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights will be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the administrator and set forth in the applicable award agreement. At the discretion of the administrator, the payment upon exercise of a stock appreciation right may be paid in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares that are subject to various restrictions, which may include restrictions on transferability and forfeiture provisions. Each restricted stock award granted will be evidenced by an award agreement specifying the number of shares of common stock subject to the award, any period of restriction, and other terms and conditions of the award, as determined by the administrator, subject to the terms of the Fourth Amended Plan.

Restricted stock awards may (but are not required to) be subject to vesting conditions, as the administrator specifies, and the shares of common stock acquired may not be transferred by the participant until the vesting conditions (if any) are satisfied. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have full voting rights, and rights to dividends and other distributions, with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless the administrator provides otherwise. Such dividends and other distributions, if any, that are paid in shares of stock will be subject to the same restrictions of transferability and forfeitability as the shares of restricted stock on which they were paid.

Restricted Stock Units. Each RSU granted under the Fourth Amended Plan is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share on the date of grant. Each RSU award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the number of RSUs subject to the award, vesting criteria (which may include accomplishing specified performance criteria or continued service to us), form of pay out, and other terms and conditions of the award, as determined by the administrator, subject to the terms of the Fourth Amended Plan. RSUs result in a payment to a participant if the performance goals or other vesting criteria are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed (subject to the minimum vesting requirements). The administrator determines in its sole discretion whether an award will be settled in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both.

Performance Shares. Performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance goals or other vesting criteria established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. Each award of performance shares will be evidenced by an award agreement specifying the number of shares, the vesting conditions, the performance period, and other terms and conditions of the award, as determined by the administrator, subject to the terms and conditions of the Fourth Amended Plan. Each performance share will have an initial value equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. The administrator in its discretion will establish performance goals or other vesting criteria (which may include continued service), which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value or number of performance shares to be paid out. After the grant of performance shares, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such performance shares (subject to the minimum vesting requirements). The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance shares in the form of cash, shares of common stock, or in some combination of both.

Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless the administrator provides otherwise, the Fourth Amended Plan generally will not allow for the transfer of awards, and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.

Certain Adjustments. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, reincorporation, reclassification, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of our common stock or our other securities, or other change in our corporate structure affecting our common stock, then in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Fourth Amended Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the Fourth Amended Plan and/or the number, class and price of shares covered by each outstanding award, and the numerical share limits set forth in the Fourth Amended Plan. In the event of our proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the completion of such proposed transaction.

Change in Control. The Fourth Amended Plan provides that in the event of our change in control, as defined in the Fourth Amended Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, in accordance with the following: the assumption or substitution of the award by the acquirer or successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary, termination of the award upon or immediately prior to the consummation of the merger or change in control following written notice, termination of the award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property in an amount that would have been attained upon exercise or realization of the award as of the date of the merger or change in control, replacement of the award with other rights or property, or any combination of the above. The administrator will not be required to treat all awards, all awards held by a participant, or all awards of the same type, similarly.

Plan Amendment; Termination. The Board of Directors has the authority to amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Fourth Amended Plan at any time, provided such action does not impair the existing rights of any participant unless mutually agreed in writing. The Fourth Amended Plan will terminate automatically in 2028, unless we terminate it sooner.

Israeli Annex. The Fourth Amended Plan contains provisions applicable to grantees who are residents of Israel on the date of grant or who are deemed to be residents of Israel for tax purposes, and United States tax provisions and regulations shall not apply to any grants to residents of Israel or to persons or entities who are deemed to be residents of Israel for tax purposes.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following paragraphs are intended as a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. taxpayers and the company with respect to the grant and vesting or exercise of awards under the Fourth Amended Plan. This summary does not attempt to describe all possible federal or other tax consequences of such actions or based on particular circumstances. In addition, it does not describe any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option qualifying under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), unless the participant is subject to the alternative minimum tax. If the participant exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of the shares acquired through the exercise of the option after both the two-year anniversary of the grant date and the one-year anniversary of the exercise date, the difference between the sale price and the exercise price will be taxed as capital gain or loss. If the participant exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of the shares on or before the two- or one-year anniversaries described above (a “disqualifying disposition”), he or she generally will have ordinary income at the time of the sale equal to the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date (or the sale price, if less) minus the exercise price of the option.

Nonstatutory Stock Options. A participant generally recognizes no taxable income on the date of grant of a nonstatutory stock option with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the exercise price of the option. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of shares acquired through the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, any subsequent gain or loss (generally based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date) will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on how long the shares were held by the participant.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant generally recognizes no taxable income on the date of grant of a stock appreciation right with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, the participant generally will be required to include as ordinary income an amount equal to the sum of the amount of any cash received and the fair market value of any shares received upon the exercise. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of shares acquired by an exercise of the stock appreciation right, any gain or loss (generally based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date) will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on how long the shares were held by the participant.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units and Performance Shares. A participant generally will not have taxable income at the time an award of restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares, or performance units is granted. Instead, he or she generally will recognize ordinary income in the first taxable year in which his or her interest in the shares underlying the award becomes either (i) freely transferable, or (ii) no longer subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. However, the recipient of a restricted stock award may elect to recognize income at the time he or she receives the award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares underlying the award (less any cash paid for the shares) on the date the award is granted.

Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) provides certain requirements for non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements with respect to an individual’s deferral and distribution elections and permissible distribution events. Awards granted under the Fourth Amended Plan with a deferral feature will be subject to the requirements of Section 409A. If an award is subject to and fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, the recipient of that award may recognize ordinary income on the amounts deferred under the award, to the extent vested, which may be prior to when the compensation is actually or constructively received. Also, if an award that is subject to Section 409A fails to comply with Section 409A’s provisions, Section 409A imposes an additional 20% tax on compensation recognized as ordinary income, as well as interest on such deferred compensation.

Medicare Surtax. In addition, a participant’s annual “net investment income”, as defined in Section 1411 of the Code, may be subject to a 3.8% federal surtax. Net investment income may include capital gain and/or loss arising from the disposition of shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the Fourth Amended Plan. Whether a participant’s net investment income will be subject to this surtax will depend on the participant’s level of annual income and other factors.

Tax Effect for the Company. We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an award under the Fourth Amended Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by a participant and at the time the participant recognizes such income (for example, the exercise of a nonqualified stock option). However, special rules limit the deductibility of compensation paid to our CEO, CFO and other “covered employees” as determined under Section 162(m) and applicable guidance. Under Section 162(m), the annual compensation paid to any of these specified individuals will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated an exception to the deduction limit for qualified performance-based compensation and broadened the application of the deduction limit to certain current and former executive officers who previously were exempt from such limit.

Vote Required

Approval of the Fourth Amended Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. If a proxy card is signed and returned but no direction is made, the persons named in your proxy will vote your shares “FOR” this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE FOURTH AMENDED and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Processes and Procedures for Compensation Decisions

Our compensation committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and reports to our Board of Directors on its discussions, decisions and other actions. Our compensation committee reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relating to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of our Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives and determines and approves the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation. Our compensation committee has the sole authority to determine our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. In addition, our compensation committee, in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, reviews and approves all compensation for other officers, as well as the directors.

The compensation committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation and benefits consultants or other outside experts or advisors as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our compensation programs and related policies.

The compensation committee has full authority to form and delegate authority to one or more subcommittees consisting solely of one or more members of the compensation committee as it deems appropriate from time to time. The compensation committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer or any other executive officer the authority to grant equity awards to employees of the Company who are not directors or officers of the Company, on such terms and subject to such limitations as the compensation committee may determine in compliance with Delaware corporate law.

Employment Agreements with Executive Officers

Our employment agreements with our executive officers contain provisions standard for a company in our industry regarding non-competition, confidentiality of information and assignment of inventions.

Employment Agreement with Steven Lisi

On June 30, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lisi to serve as our Chief Executive Officer with an annual salary of $450,000, subject to review of the compensation committee at least annually. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Lisi is eligible to receive a short-term incentive bonus equal to a percentage of his base salary in effect at the end of the fiscal year, based partially on performance weighted bonus objectives established for Mr. Lisi by the Board of Directors (which includes both corporate objectives and individual objectives) for the fiscal year, with such objectives to be discussed with Mr. Lisi prior to being established, and partially based on the discretion of the Board of Directors. The target bonus percentage each fiscal year is an amount equal to 60% of Mr. Lisi’s base salary in effect at the end of each fiscal year. However, the actual short-term incentive bonus as determined by the Board of Directors may range from 0% to higher than 100% of the base salary. Any short-term incentive bonus shall be paid on or before April 15 of the following year and may include cash, stock options and restricted stock awards. If paid in stock options or restricted stock awards, the short-term incentive bonus must be paid separately from, and independently of, any long-term equity incentive award. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Lisi is also eligible to receive awards of stock options or restricted stock grants as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of employment, Mr. Lisi received options to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share. 25% of the options vested on June 30, 2018 and thereafter an additional 25% vested on December 31, 2018 and December 31^st of each of the two ensuing years thereafter until the options vested in full. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and were fully vested as of March 31, 2021.

In the event of Mr. Lisi’s termination without “cause” or his resignation for “good reason”, as such terms are defined in his employment agreement, Mr. Lisi, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in his employment agreement, will be entitled to (i) severance equal to twenty-four months of base salary, payable in a lump sum, (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times that of the most recent earned short-term incentive award, (iii) all outstanding options and restricted common stock awards held by Mr. Lisi would automatically vest and (iv) provided Mr. Lisi timely elects to continue health care coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), continued participation by Mr. Lisi and his eligible dependents in our standard group medical and dental plans until the earlier of (a) the end of the 18^th month following Mr. Lisi’s termination and (b) the date Mr. Lisi secures subsequent employment with medical and dental coverage.

In the event of Mr. Lisi’s termination without “cause” or his resignation for “good reason”, in each case within three months prior to a “change of control”, as such term is defined in Mr. Lisi’s employment agreement, or within 18 months following a “change of control”, Mr. Lisi, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in his employment agreement, will be entitled to (i) a one-time grant of 650,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) all outstanding options and restricted common stock awards held by Mr. Lisi would automatically vest and (iii) provided Mr. Lisi timely elects to continue health care coverage under COBRA, continued participation by Mr. Lisi and his eligible dependents in our standard group medical and dental plans until the earlier of (a) the end of the 24^th month following Mr. Lisi’s termination and (b) the date Mr. Lisi secures subsequent employment with medical and dental coverage.

Mr. Lisi’s employment agreement contains restrictive covenants relating to non-disclosure of confidential information, assignment of inventions, and non-solicitation of employees and customers that runs for a period of one year following his termination of employment for any reason.

Employment Agreement with Amir Avniel

On June 30, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Avniel to serve as our President and Chief Operating Officer with an annual salary of $400,000, subject to review of the compensation committee at least annually. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Avniel is eligible to receive a short-term incentive bonus equal to a percentage of his base salary in effect at the end of the fiscal year, based partially on performance weighted bonus objectives established for Mr. Avniel by the Board of Directors (which includes both corporate objectives and individual objectives) for the fiscal year, with such objectives to be discussed with Mr. Avniel prior to being established, and partially based on the discretion of the Board of Directors. The target bonus percentage each fiscal year is an amount equal to 60% of Mr. Avniel’s base salary in effect at the end of each fiscal year. However, the actual short-term incentive bonus as determined by the Board of Directors may range from 0% to higher than 100% of the base salary. Any short-term incentive bonus shall be paid on or before April 15 of the following year and may include cash, stock options and restricted stock awards. If paid in stock options or restricted stock awards, the short-term incentive bonus must be paid separately from, and independently of, any long-term equity incentive award. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Avniel is also eligible to receive awards of stock options or restricted stock grants as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of employment, Mr. Avniel received options to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share. 25% of the options vested on June 30, 2018 and thereafter an additional 25% vested on December 31, 2018 and December 31^st of each of the two ensuing years thereafter until the options vested in full. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and the options were fully vested as of March 31, 2021.

In the event of Mr. Avniel’s termination without “cause” or his resignation for “good reason”, as such terms are defined in his employment agreement, Mr. Avniel, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in his employment agreement, will be entitled to (i) severance equal to twenty-four months of base salary, payable in a lump sum, (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times that of the most recent earned short-term incentive award, (iii) all outstanding options and restricted common stock awards held by Mr. Avniel would automatically vest and (iv) provided Mr. Avniel timely elects to continue health care coverage under COBRA, continued participation by Mr. Avniel and his eligible dependents in our standard group medical and dental plans until the earliest of (a) the end of the 18^th month following Mr. Avniel’s termination and (b) the date Mr. Avniel secures subsequent employment with medical and dental coverage.

In the event of Mr. Avniel’s termination without “cause” or his resignation for “good reason”, in each case within three months prior to a “change of control”, as such term is defined in Mr. Avniel’s employment agreement, or within 18 months following a “change of control”, Mr. Avniel, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in his employment agreement, will be entitled to (i) a one-time grant of 350,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) all outstanding options and restricted common stock awards held by Mr. Avniel would automatically vest and (iii) provided Mr. Avniel timely elects to continue health care coverage under COBRA, continued participation by Mr. Avniel and his eligible dependents in our standard group medical and dental plans until the earliest of (a) the end of the 24^th month following Mr. Avniel’s termination and (b) the date Mr. Avniel secures subsequent employment with medical and dental coverage.

Mr. Avniel’s employment agreement contains restrictive covenants relating to non-disclosure of confidential information, assignment of inventions, and non-solicitation of employees and customers that runs for a period of one year following his termination of employment for any reason.

Employment Offer Letter Agreement with Douglas Beck

Pursuant to the terms of an employment offer letter agreement between the Company and Mr. Beck dated October 17, 2018, Mr. Beck was paid an annual salary of $250,000 per year. Mr. Beck’s last day of employment with the Company as Chief Financial Officer was on August 31, 2021. In connection with the commencement of his employment, we issued Mr. Beck options to purchase 85,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share. The options vest over four years at 25% per year, and were 50% vested as of March 31, 2021. Under Mr. Beck’s offer letter his employment was at will. In the event of termination without cause or resignation for good reason he would have been entitled to a severance equal to one month’s base salary for every six months employed by the Company not to exceed six months of base salary, payable in a lump sum, and we would have continued to contribute to his health and dental benefits in the same proportion as during employment for the same duration as severance payments are made. In the event of a termination upon a “change of control”, as that term would have been more fully defined in a superseding agreement, Mr. Beck would have received severance equal to six month’s base salary, we would have continued to provide health and dental benefits in the same proportion as during employment for six months and all of his outstanding options and restricted common stock awards that have not vested as of the date of termination would have automatically vested as of the date of termination.

Consulting and Severance Agreement with Douglas Beck

On August 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Consulting and Severance Agreement (the “Consulting and Severance Agreement”) with Mr. Beck in connection with his separation from the Company. Mr. Beck’s last day of employment was on August 31, 2021. The Consulting and Severance Agreement provides that Mr. Beck will assist the Company in the transition of his roles and continue in a consulting capacity for a six-month period beginning as of his date of termination (the “Consulting Period”). During the Consulting Period, Mr. Beck will continue to provide services to the Company on a non-exclusive basis, unless earlier terminated by the Company or Mr. Beck in accordance with the terms of the Consulting and Severance Agreement. In exchange for his services, the Company will pay Mr. Beck a fee of $10,416.67 per month during the Consulting Period.

In addition, the Consulting and Severance Agreement provides for certain separation benefits, subject to Mr. Beck agreeing to a release of claims and complying with certain other continuing obligations contained in the Consulting and Severance Agreement. For a period of six months, the Company will pay Mr. Beck salary continuation, at the rate of Mr. Beck’s salary in effect as of his termination of employment in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices and subject to applicable federal and local taxes. The Company will continue to contribute to Mr. Beck’s health and dental benefits for six months in the same proportion as the month preceding his date of termination. Mr. Beck will continue to receive all equity awards that vest through December 31, 2021, and Mr. Beck will have 12 months from the end of the Consulting Period to exercise all vested equity awards.

Option Awards Granted During 2021

On March 4, 2021, Messrs. Lisi, Avniel and Beck were granted options to purchase 200,000, 100,000 and 25,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, with an exercise price of $5.45 per share, which was equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The options vest annually over four years commencing on December 31, 2021.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

We maintain the Third Amended Plan. The Third Amended Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, and other stock-based awards (collectively, the “stock awards”). Stock awards may be granted under the Third Amended Plan to our employees, directors and consultants, other than incentive stock options which may only be granted to employees of the Company.

The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Third Amended Plan is 5,600,000 shares.

The Third Amended Plan is scheduled to terminate on August 13, 2028. No stock awards shall be granted pursuant to the Third Amended Plan after such date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to the Third Amended Plan. No stock awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

Under the terms of the warrants issued by us to Charles Mosseri Marlio, he may not exercise a warrant to the extent such exercise would cause him, together with his affiliates and any other persons acting as a group with him or any of his affiliates, to have acquired a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 9.985% (subject to an increase of such percentage to 9.99% on 61 days’ notice by the holder to the Company) of our then outstanding common stock, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants that have not been exercised. We refer to the foregoing limitation applicable to Mr. Mosseri Marlio as the “Ownership Cap.” The share numbers in the table below do not reflect the Ownership Cap, but the figures contained in the “Percentage of Outstanding Shares” column reflect the Ownership Cap applicable to Mr. Mosseri Marlio.

Whenever possible, the transaction should be approved in advance and if not approved in advance, must be submitted for ratification as promptly as practical.

The Committee also may modify the purchase price or the exercise price of any outstanding Award, provided that if the modification effects a repricing, shareholder approval shall be required before the repricing is effective.

3.2 Committee Decisions Final. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on the Company and the Participants, unless such decisions are determined by a court having jurisdiction to be arbitrary and capricious.

3.3 Delegation. The Committee or, if no Committee has been appointed, the Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee or committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. The Committee shall have the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board or the Committee shall thereafter be to the committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board.

Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Nothing herein shall create an inference that an Award is not validly granted under the Plan in the event Awards are granted under the Plan by a compensation committee of the Board that does not at all times consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors.

A- 7

3.5 Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as Directors or members of the Committee, and to the extent allowed by Applicable Laws, the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or in connection with any appeal therein, to which the Committee may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, and against all amounts paid by the Committee in settlement thereof (provided, however, that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Committee in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Committee shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

4. Shares Subject to the Plan.

4.2 Shares of Common Stock available for distribution under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.

4.3 Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11, no more than 7,600,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options (the “ISO Limit”).

4.4 Reserved.

4.5 Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award that expires or is canceled, forfeited, or terminated without issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to which the Award related will again be available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such shares are (a) shares tendered in payment of an Option, (b) shares delivered or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or (c) shares covered by a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or other Awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award.

4.6 Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the Total Share Reserve; provided, that, Substitute Awards issued in connection with the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be counted against the ISO limit. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, available shares under a shareholder-approved plan of an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such acquisition or transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not count toward the Total Share Limit.

5. Eligibility.

6. Option Provisions. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

6.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date. The term of a Non-qualified Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Non-qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date.

6.2 Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the Option Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.3 Exercise Price of a Non-qualified Stock Option. The Option Exercise Price of each Non-qualified Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

6.4 Consideration. The Option Exercise Price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve, the Option Exercise Price may be paid: (i) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired, or by means of attestation whereby the Participant identifies for delivery specific shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of attestation equal to the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) and receives a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number of shares thereby purchased and the number of identified attestation shares of Common Stock (a “Stock for Stock Exchange”); (ii) a “cashless” exercise program established with a broker; (iii) by reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Exercise Price at the time of exercise; (iv) by any combination of the foregoing methods; or (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the exercise price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery (or attestation) to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period for which the Common Stock is publicly traded (i.e., the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system) an exercise by a Director or Officer that involves or may involve a direct or indirect extension of credit or arrangement of an extension of credit by the Company, directly or indirectly, in violation of Section 402(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall be prohibited with respect to any Award under this Plan.

A- 9

6.5 Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.6 Transferability of a Non-qualified Stock Option. A Non-qualified Stock Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferable to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval by the Committee to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. If the Non-qualified Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Non-qualified Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.7 Vesting of Options. Each Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.

6.8 Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Committee, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three months following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, if the termination of Continuous Service is by the Company for Cause, all outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

6.9 Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder’s Award Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for any reason would be prohibited at any time because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or any other state or federal securities law or the rules of any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the Option in accordance with Section 6.1 or (b) the expiration of a period after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service that is three months after the end of the period during which the exercise of the Option would be in violation of such registration or other securities law requirements.

6.10 Disability of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following such termination or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

6.11 Death of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following the date of death or (b) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Optionholder’s death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

A- 10

6.12 Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options.

7. Provisions of Awards Other Than Options.

7.1 Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) General

Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.1, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in tandem with an Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”).

(b) Grant Requirements

Any Related Right that relates to a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter but before the exercise or expiration of the Option. Any Related Right that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

The term of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

(d) Vesting of Stock Appreciation Rights

Each Stock Appreciation Right may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Stock Appreciation Right may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Stock Appreciation Rights may vary. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Stock Appreciation Right upon the occurrence of a specified event.

(e) Exercise and Payment

Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the exercise price specified in the Stock Appreciation Right or related Option. Payment with respect to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be made on the date of exercise. Payment shall be made in the form of shares of Common Stock (with or without restrictions as to substantial risk of forfeiture and transferability, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

A- 11

(f) Exercise Price

The exercise price of a Free Standing Right shall be determined by the Committee. A Related Right granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant of an Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related Option, shall be transferable only upon the same terms and conditions as the related Option, and shall be exercisable only to the same extent as the related Option; provided, however, that a Stock Appreciation Right, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right and related Option exceeds the exercise price per share thereof and no Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with an Option unless the Committee determines that the requirements of Section 7.1(b) are satisfied.

(g) Reduction in the Underlying Option Shares

Upon any exercise of a Related Right, the number of shares of Common Stock for which any related Option shall be exercisable shall be reduced by the number of shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Related Right shall be exercisable shall be reduced upon any exercise of any related Option by the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Option has been exercised.

7.2 Restricted Awards.

(a) General

A Restricted Award is an Award of actual shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or hypothetical Common Stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock, which may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period (the “Restricted Period”) as the Committee shall determine. Each Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.2, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

(i) Each Participant granted Restricted Stock shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with respect to the Restricted Stock setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable and (B) the appropriate blank stock power with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant fails to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and stock power, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends; provided that, any cash dividends and stock dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and interest may be credited on the amount of the cash dividends withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. The cash dividends or stock dividends so withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, if applicable, upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends.

(ii) The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside funds for the payment of any such Award. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder. The Committee may also grant Restricted Stock Units with a deferral feature, whereby settlement is deferred beyond the vesting date until the occurrence of a future payment date or event set forth in an Award Agreement (“Deferred Stock Units”). At the discretion of the Committee, each Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (representing one share of Common Stock) may be credited with an amount equal to the cash and stock dividends paid by the Company in respect of one share of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”).

A- 12

(i) Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate; (B) the shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (D) to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a shareholder with respect to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals during such period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(iii) The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are granted, such action is appropriate.

(d) Restricted Period

With respect to Restricted Awards, the Restricted Period shall commence on the Grant Date and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement.

(e) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units

Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.2(c) and the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share). Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, or at the expiration of the deferral period with respect to any outstanding Deferred Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one share of Common Stock for each such outstanding vested Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (“Vested Unit”); provided, however, that, if explicitly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering only shares of Common Stock for Vested Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed in the case of Restricted Stock Units, or the delivery date in the case of Deferred Stock Units, with respect to each Vested Unit.

(f) Stock Restrictions

Each certificate representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate.

7.3 Performance Share Awards.

(a) Grant of Performance Share Awards

Each Performance Share Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Performance Share Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.3, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or stock-denominated units subject to a Performance Share Award granted to any Participant; (ii) the Performance Period applicable to any Award; (iii) the conditions that must be satisfied for a Participant to earn an Award; and (iv) the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

(b) Earning Performance Share Awards

The number of Performance Shares earned by a Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the Committee.

7.4 Other Equity-Based Awards and Cash Awards. The Committee may grant Other Equity-Based Awards, either alone or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts and subject to such conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Each Equity-Based Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and shall be subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee may grant Cash Awards in such amounts and subject to such Performance Goals, other vesting conditions, and such other terms as the Committee determines in its discretion. Cash Awards shall be evidenced in such form as the Committee may determine.

8. Securities Law Compliance.

Each Award Agreement shall provide that no shares of Common Stock shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until (a) any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel and (b) if required to do so by the Company, the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing such provisions as the Committee may require. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

9. Use of Proceeds from Stock.

Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Awards, or upon exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

10.2 Shareholder Rights. Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Common Stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 hereof.

A- 14

10.3 No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the By-laws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

10.4 Transfer; Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer of employment to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another, or (b) 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 reemployment 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 Committee otherwise so provides in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto.

10.5 Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock of the Company.

11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Performance Goals to which Performance Share Awards and Cash Awards are subject, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Awards stated in Section 4 will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 11, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of Non-qualified Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will not constitute a modification of such Non-qualified Stock Options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any adjustments made under this Section 11 shall be made in a manner which does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

12. Effect of Change in Control.

12.1 Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary:

(a) In the event of a Participant’s termination of Continuous Service without Cause or for Good Reason during the 3-month period following a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any applicable Award Agreement to the contrary, all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable with respect to 100% of the shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and/or the Restricted Period shall expire immediately with respect to 100% of the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service.

A- 15

(b) With respect to Performance Share Awards and Cash Awards, in the event of a Change in Control, all incomplete Performance Periods in respect of such Awards in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end on the date of such change and the Committee shall (i) determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Performance Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial information then available as it deems relevant and (ii) cause to be paid to the applicable Participant partial or full Awards with respect to Performance Goals for each such Performance Period based upon the Committee’s determination of the degree of attainment of Performance Goals or, if not determinable, assuming that the applicable “target” levels of performance have been attained, or on such other basis determined by the Committee.

To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee under the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected Participants the ability to participate in the Change in Control with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to their Awards.

12.2 In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may in its discretion and upon at least 10 days’ advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other shareholders of the Company in the event. In the case of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price (or SAR Exercise Price in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right) that equals or exceeds the price paid for a share of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, the Committee may cancel the Option or Stock Appreciation Right without the payment of consideration therefor.

12.3 The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.

13. Amendment of the Plan and Awards.

13.1 Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock and Section 13.3, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent on shareholder approval.

13.2 Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval.

13.3 Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Consultants and Directors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.

13.4 No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

13.5 Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

A- 16

14. General Provisions.

14.1 Forfeiture Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain events, in addition to applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise applicable to the Participant, a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates.

14.2 Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, the Company may cancel any Award, require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with any Company policies that may be adopted and/or modified from time to time (“Clawback Policy”). In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan or an Award Agreement, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, the Participant is agreeing to be bound by the Clawback Policy, as in effect or as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including, without limitation, to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements).

14.3 Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

14.4 Sub-Plans. The Committee may from time to time establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Committee determines are necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan, but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.

14.5 Deferral of Awards. The Committee may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Participant to payment or receipt of shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award. The Committee may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Committee deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

14.6 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.

14.7 Recapitalizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 11.

14.8 Delivery. Upon exercise of a right granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Common Stock or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, 30 days shall be considered a reasonable period of time.

14.9 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

14.10 Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable.

A- 17

14.11 Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

14.12 Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section 424 of the Code) of all or any portion of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the issuance of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option (a “Disqualifying Disposition”) shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

14.13 Section 16. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participants will be entitled to the benefit of Rule 16b-3, or any other rule promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subject to short-swing liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, if the operation of any provision of the Plan would conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 14.13, such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

14.14 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant’s death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.

14.15 Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

14.16 Severability. If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

14.17 Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the construction of the provisions hereof.

14.18 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually receive, Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to make non-uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements.

15. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date, but no Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock Award, shall be granted) unless and until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

16. Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically on August 13, 2028. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after such date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

17. Choice of Law. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of law rules.

1. GENERAL

1.1 This Annex (the: “Annex”) shall apply only to Grantees who are residents of the State of Israel at the Date of Grant or those who are deemed to be residents of the state of Israel for the payment of tax at the Date of Grant. The provisions specified hereunder shall form an integral part of Section 4 of the Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the: “Plan”) of Beyond Air, Inc. (the: “Company”) and in particular Section 4 of the Plan (hereinafter: the “Scheme”), which applies to the issuance of options to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of the Company. According to the Scheme, Options to purchase the Company’s Shares may be issued to employees, directors, consultants and service provides of the Company or its affiliates. The tax rules and the US tax provisions and regulations shall not apply to any grants hereunder to a Grantee who is a resident of the State of Israel at the Date of Grant or those who are deemed to be residents of the State of Israel for the payment of tax at the Date of Grant.

1.2 This Annex is effective with respect to Options granted following Amendment no. 132 of the Ordinance, which entered into force on January 1, 2003.

1.3 This Annex is to be read as a continuation of the Scheme and only modifies Options granted to Israeli Grantees so that they comply with the requirements set by the Israeli law in general, and in particular with the provisions of Section 102 (as specified herein), as may be amended or replaced from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, this Annex does not add to or modify the Scheme in respect of any other category of Grantees.

1.4 The Scheme and this Annex are complimentary to each other and shall be deemed as one. In any case of contradiction, whether explicit or implied, between the provisions of this Annex and the Scheme, the provisions set out in the Annex shall prevail.

2. ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS

2.1 The persons eligible for participation in the Scheme as Grantees shall include any Employees and/or Non-Employees of the Company or of any Affiliate; provided, however, that (i) Employees may only be granted 102 Options; and (ii) Non-Employees and/or Controlling Shareholders may only be granted 3(i) Options.

2.2 The Company may designate Options granted to Employees pursuant to Section 102 as Unapproved 102 Options or Approved 102 Options.

Such Election shall become effective beginning the first date of grant of an Approved 102 Option under this Annex and shall remain in effect at least until the end of the year following the year during which the Company first granted Approved 102 Options. The Election shall obligate the Company to grant only the type of Approved 102 Option it has elected, and shall apply to all Grantees who were granted Approved 102 Options during the period indicated herein, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(g) of the Ordinance. For the avoidance of doubt, such Election shall not prevent the Company from granting Unapproved 102 Options simultaneously.

2.7 For the avoidance of doubt, the designation of Unapproved 102 Options and Approved 102 Options shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 102.

Notwithstanding the above, if any such sale or release occurs during the Holding Period, the sanctions under Section 102 of the Ordinance and under any rules or regulation or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder shall apply to and shall be borne by such Grantee.

6. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

6.1 Options shall be exercised by the Grantee by giving a written notice to the Company and/or to any third party designated by the Company (the: “Representative”), in such form and method as may be determined by the Company and, when applicable, by the Trustee, in accordance with the requirements of Section 102, which exercise shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Company and/or the Representative and the payment of the Purchase Price for the number of Shares with respect to which the option is being exercised, at the Company’s or the Representative’s principal office.

Any such action made directly or indirectly, for an immediate validation or for a future one, shall be void.
