termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service; provided further that if any Award is subject to Section 409A of the
Code, this sentence shall only be given effect to the extent consistent with Section 409A of the Code. For example, a change in status

pursuant to Section 6.10 hereof within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the Committee may rely on any determination that
a Participant is disabled for purposes of benefits under any long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate in
which a Participant participates.

(i)
to prescribe the terms and conditions of each Award, including, without limitation, the exercise price and medium of payment and vesting
provisions, and to specify the provisions of the Award Agreement relating to such grant;
(j)
to determine the target number of Performance Shares to be granted pursuant to a Performance Share Award, the performance measures that
will be used to establish the Performance Goals, the Performance Period(s) and the number of Performance Shares earned by a Participant;
(k)
to amend any outstanding Awards, including for the purpose of modifying the time or manner of vesting, or the term of any outstanding
Award; provided, however, that if any such amendment impairs a Participant’s rights or increases a Participant’s obligations
under his or her Award or creates or increases a Participant’s federal income tax liability with respect to an Award, such amendment
shall also be subject to the Participant’s consent;
(l)
to determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absences which may be granted to a Participant without constituting termination of
their employment for purposes of the Plan, which periods shall be no shorter than the periods generally applicable to Employees under
the Company’s employment policies;
(m)
to make decisions with respect to outstanding Awards that may become necessary upon a change in corporate control or an event that triggers
anti-dilution adjustments;
(n)
to interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in and/or supply any omission in the Plan and any instrument
or agreement relating to, or Award granted under, the Plan; and
(o)
to exercise discretion to make any and all other determinations which it determines to be necessary or advisable for the administration
of the Plan.
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. From time to time, the Board may increase or decrease
the size of the Committee, add additional members to, remove members (with or without cause) from, appoint new members in substitution
therefor, and fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee shall act pursuant to a vote of the majority of its members
or, in the case of a Committee comprised of only two members, the unanimous consent of its members, whether present or not, or by the
written consent of the majority of its members and minutes shall be kept of all of its meetings and copies thereof shall be provided
to the Board. Subject to the limitations prescribed by the Plan and the Board, the Committee may establish and follow such rules and
regulations for the conduct of its business as it may determine to be advisable.
3.4
Committee Composition. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee
Directors. The Board shall have discretion to determine whether or not it intends to comply with the exemption requirements of Rule 16b-3.
However, if the Board intends to satisfy such exemption requirements, with respect to any insider subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act, the Committee shall be a compensation committee of the Board that at all times consists solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors.
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.
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.
4.1
Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 14, no more than 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock shall be available for the grant of
Awards under the Plan (the “Total Share Reserve”). During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available
at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards.
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 14, no more than $100,000 worth of shares of Common Stock may be issued in the aggregate
pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options (the “ISO Limit”).
4.4
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.
4.5
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.
5.1
Eligibility for Specific Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options
may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Directors..
5.2
Ten Percent Shareholders. A Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the Option Exercise
Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration
of five years from the Grant Date.
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.
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.
Vesting
of Options. Each Option that vests solely based on the continued service of the Participant shall vest and therefore become exercisable
in three equal installments on each of the first anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Optionholder’s Continuous Service.
Each Option that vests based on the achievement of performance or other criteria shall vest and therefore become exercisable on the [third]
anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the achievement of applicable performance goals and the Optionholder’s Continuous Service.
No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee shall have the right to
determine the vesting schedule. 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.
6.7
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.
6.8
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.
6.9
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.
6.10
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.
6.11
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 Option holder 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.
Stock Appreciation Rights. 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, 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”).
7.1
Grant Requirements for Related Rights. 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.
7.2
Term 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.
7.3
Vesting Each Stock Appreciation Right shall vest and therefore become exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first
anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service. 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 Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.
7.4
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.
7.5
Exercise Price The exercise price of a Free Standing Right shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100%
of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date of such Stock Appreciation Right. 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 are satisfied.
7.6
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.
8.
Restricted Awards 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 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.
8.1
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
(a)
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.
(b)
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”).
Dividend Equivalents shall be paid currently (and in no case later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividend is paid to
the holders of the Common Stock or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date the dividend is paid to holders of the
Common Stock).Dividend Equivalents shall be withheld by the Company and credited to the Participant’s account, and interest may
be credited on the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account at a rate and subject to such terms
as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents credited to a Participant’s account and attributable to any particular Restricted
Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed 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 Dividend Equivalents and earnings, if applicable, to
the Participant upon settlement of such Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit and, if such Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock
Unit is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such Dividend Equivalents./Dividend Equivalents will be deemed re-invested
in additional Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the applicable
dividend payment date and rounded down to the nearest whole share.
8.2
Restrictions
(a)
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.
(b)
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.
(c)
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.
8.3
Restricted Period
Each
Restricted Award that vests solely based on the continued service of the Participant shall vest in three equal installments on each of
the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service. Each Restricted Award
that vests based on the achievement of performance or other criteria shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to
the achievement of applicable performance goals and the Participant’s Continuous Service.]
No
Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to,
provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.
8.4
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 8.2 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) and any cash dividends or stock dividends credited to the Participant’s account with respect to such
Restricted Stock and the interest thereon, if any. 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”) [and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect
to each such Vested Unit in accordance with Section 8.1(b) hereof and the interest thereon or, at the discretion of the Committee, in
shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such Dividend Equivalents and the interest thereon, if any]; 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.
8.5
Stock Restrictions Each certificate representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the
Company deems appropriate.
9.
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 9, 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.
9.1
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.
10.
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.
11.
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.
12.
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.
13.
Miscellaneous.
13.1
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.
13.2
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 14 hereof.
13.3
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.
13.4
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.
13.5
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.
14.
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 14, 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 14 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
14 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 14 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.
15.
Effect of Change in Control.
15.1
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 12-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.
(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.
15.2
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.
15.3
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.
16.
Amendment of the Plan and Awards.
16.1
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 14 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock and Section 16.3, 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.
16.2
Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval.
16.3
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.
16.4
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.
16.5
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.
17.
General Provisions.
17.1
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.
17.2
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).
17.3
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.
17.4
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.
17.5
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. Deferrals
by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. 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.
17.6
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.
17.7
Recapitalizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 14.
17.8
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.
17.9
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.
17.10
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.
17.11
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.
17.12
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.
17.13
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 17.13, such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.
17.14
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.
17.15
Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.
17.16
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.
17.17
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.
17.18
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.
18.
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.
19.
Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically on January 25, 2033. 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 16.1 hereof. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it
is terminated.
20.
Choice of Law. The law of the State of Nevada shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation
of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of law rules.
