and grantees, and to approve the forms of Award Agreements;


 


(v)          to
accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award in circumstances involving the grantee’s

(f)             Foreign

SECTION 3.              STOCK
ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION


 


(a)            Stock
Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 3,700,000 shares, subject
to adjustment as provided in this Section 3. For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any awards under the
Plan that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Stock available
for issuance under the Plan and, to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
the shares of Stock that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares shall not be added
to the shares authorized for grant under the Plan: (i) shares tendered or held back upon exercise of a Stock Option or settlement
of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, and (ii) shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued
in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise thereof. In the event the Company repurchases shares
of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to
such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however,
that no more than 3,700,000 shares of the Stock may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The shares available for issuance
under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company.


 


(b)            Changes
in Stock. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock
are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional
shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares
of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or
a parent or subsidiary thereof) or other consideration, the Administrator shall make appropriate equitable adjustments to the Plan and
any outstanding Awards, which may include, without limitation, appropriate or proportionate adjustments in (i) the maximum number
and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number and kind of shares that may be issued in the form
of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number and kind of shares, securities or other consideration subject to any then outstanding
Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per share of Restricted Stock subject to each outstanding Restricted
Stock Award, (iv) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares subject
to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable and (v) other
applicable terms of the Plan and any outstanding Awards. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in
the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration
cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator
shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment,
but the Administrator in its discretion may round such fractional shares or make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.


 






    -7- 


     


    

 


(c)            Assumption/Substitution
of Awards and Termination of Awards in Connection with Sale Event. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event,
the parties thereto may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the Company (with any adjustments made
pursuant to Section 3(b)), or the substitution of such Awards with new awards, as applicable, of the successor entity or parent
thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the per share exercise prices as such parties shall agree.
In connection with any Sale Event in which the shares of Stock are exchanged for or converted into the right to receive cash, the parties
to any such transaction may also provide that some or all outstanding Awards that would otherwise not be fully vested and exercisable
in full after giving effect to the transaction will be converted into the right to receive the amount of cash paid per share of Stock
in the Sale Event multiplied by the number of shares subject to such Awards (net of the applicable exercise price), subject to any remaining
vesting provisions relating to such Awards and the other terms and conditions of such transaction to the extent provided by the parties
to such transaction. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not cause the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards
upon the effective time of the Sale Event, all such outstanding Awards shall terminate, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement
for a particular Award. In the event of such a termination, each Award that is terminated shall become vested and, if applicable, fully
exercisable as of the effective time of such transaction and the Company will take one of the following actions with respect to each
such Award (with the choice among the following options to be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion): (i) make or provide
for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantee holding such Award, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the consideration received or to be received with respect to each share of Stock in such
transaction multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award (to the extent then vested (after taking into account any
acceleration hereunder) at prices not in excess of the per share amount of such consideration) above (B) the aggregate exercise
price, if any, for such shares of Stock pursuant to such Award; or (ii) in the event that such Award is a Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, permit the grantee holding such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, within a specified period of time prior
to such termination, as determined by the Administrator, to exercise such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right as of, and subject
to, the consummation of the transaction pursuant to which such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is to be terminated (to the extent
such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right would be exercisable as of the consummation of the Sale Event (after taking into account
any acceleration hereunder)).


 


(d)            Assumption
or Substitution of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time, may assume or substitute outstanding awards granted by
another company, in connection with an acquisition of such other company (the “Substitute Awards”), by either: (i) granting
an Award under the Plan in substitution of such other company’s award; or (ii) assuming such award as if it had been granted
under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption
will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award is eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan. In the event
the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged (except
that the purchase price or the exercise price, as the case may be, the number and nature of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise or
settlement of any such award and the other terms of such award will be adjusted appropriately consistent with Sections 409A and 424(a) of
the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right in substitution rather than assuming
an existing option or stock appreciation right, as applicable, such new Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be granted with
a similarly adjusted exercise price. Substitute Awards will not reduce the number of shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan.


 






    -8- 


     


    

 


(e)            Non-Employee
Director Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may establish compensation for
Non-Employee Directors from time to time, subject to the limitations in the Plan. The Administrator will from time to time determine
the terms, conditions and amounts of all such Non-Employee Director compensation in its discretion and pursuant to the exercise of its
business judgment, taking into account such factors, circumstances and considerations as it shall deem relevant from time to time, provided
that the sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of Awards granted to a Non-Employee
Director as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $1,000,000. The
Administrator may make exceptions to these limits for individual Non-Employee Directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Administrator
may determine in its discretion, provided that the Non-Employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in
the decision to award such compensation or in other contemporaneous compensation decisions involving Non-Employee Directors.


 


SECTION 4.              ELIGIBILITY


 


Grantees under the Plan will
be such full- or part-time officers and other employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries as
are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion and such other Persons (to the extent the issuance of shares
of Stock to such Person under the Plan may be registered by the Company on Form S-8 and would be permitted in an “employee
benefit plan” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as are selected from time to time by the
Administrator in its sole discretion. For avoidance of doubt, no Award may be granted under the Plan to a Person unless the issuance
of shares of Stock to such Person under the Plan may be registered by the Company on Form S-8 and such Person is permitted to participate
in an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions,
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options

may establish.

Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined
by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the
case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be
not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock Options may be granted with
an exercise price per share that is less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (i) pursuant to a transaction
described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code, (ii) to individuals who are not subject to
U.S. income tax on the date of grant or (iii) the Stock Option is otherwise compliant with Section 409A.

determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired
upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.


 


(e)            Method
of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company,
specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods except
to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement:


 


(i)            In
cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;


 


(ii)           Through
the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the Company may prescribe) of shares of Stock that are not
then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;


 


(iii)          By
the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly
deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee
chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements
of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or


 






    -10- 


     


    

 


(iv)          With
respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company
will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that
does not exceed the aggregate exercise price and the remainder of the aggregate exercise price to be paid by the optionee in cash or
other method of payment permitted hereunder.


 


Payment instruments will be received subject
to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of Stock to be purchased
pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance
with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements
contained in the applicable Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that
the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned
shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock
Option shall be net of the number of attested shares. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of
a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice
response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.


 


(f)            Annual
Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422
of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become exercisable
for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this
limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.


 


SECTION 6.             STOCK
APPRECIATION RIGHTS


 


(a)            Award
of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right is
an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the applicable Award Agreement)
having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the
Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been
exercised.


 


(b)            Exercise
Price of Stock Appreciation Rights. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted with an exercise
price per share that is less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (i) pursuant to a transaction described
in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code, (ii) to individuals who are not subject to U.S. income
tax on the date of grant or (iii) the Stock Appreciation Right is otherwise compliant with, or is not subject to, Section 409A.


 






    -11- 


     


    

 


(c)            Grant
and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock
Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan.


 


(d)            Terms
and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be
determined on the date of grant by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years. The terms and
conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards
and grantees.


 


SECTION 7.              RESTRICTED
STOCK AWARDS


 


(a)            Nature
of Restricted Stock Awards. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is any Award
of Restricted Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may
be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.


 


(b)            Rights
as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the
rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock granted thereunder, including voting of the Restricted Stock and receipt
of dividends; provided that if the lapse of restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Award is tied to the attainment of vesting
conditions, any cash dividends paid by the Company during the vesting period shall be retained by, or repaid by the grantee to, the Company
until and to the extent the vesting conditions are met with respect to the Restricted Stock Award; provided further that, to the extent
provided for in the applicable Restricted Stock Award or by the Administrator, an amount equal to such cash dividends retained by, or
repaid by the grantee to, the Company may be paid to the grantee upon the lapsing of such restrictions. Unless the Administrator shall
otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Stock shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the
transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in Section 7(d) below,
and (ii) certificated Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided
in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments
of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe.


 


(c)            Restrictions.
Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided
herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Agreement
or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a grantee’s employment (or other Service Relationship)
with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Stock that has not vested at the time of termination
shall automatically and without any requirement of notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed
to have been reacquired by the Company at its original purchase price (if any) from such grantee or such grantee’s legal representative
simultaneously with such termination of employment (or other Service Relationship), and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership
of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of Restricted Stock that
is represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.


 






    -12- 


     


    

 


(d)            Vesting
of Restricted Stock. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established
performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Stock and the Company’s right
of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals,
objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Stock and shall be deemed
 “vested.”


 


SECTION 8.              RESTRICTED
STOCK UNIT AWARDS


 


(a)            Nature
of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Unit Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit
Award is an Award of Restricted Stock Units that, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement, may be settled
in shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the Award Agreement) upon the satisfaction of applicable restrictions
and conditions at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship) and/or achievement
of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator,
and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. To the extent permitted by the Administrator, the settlement
of Restricted Stock Units may be deferred to one or more dates specified in the applicable Award Agreement or elected by the grantee.
Each Restricted Stock Unit Award that is subject to Section 409A shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator
shall determine in its sole discretion in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.


 


(b)            Rights
as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon settlement
of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the stock
units underlying his Restricted Stock Units, subject to the provisions of Section 10 and such terms and conditions as the Administrator
may determine.


 


(c)            Termination.
Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing
after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon
the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.


 


SECTION 9.              UNRESTRICTED
STOCK AWARDS


 


(a)            Grant
or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. The Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the
Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award of Stock free of any restrictions
under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash
compensation due to such grantee.

SECTION 10.           DIVIDEND
EQUIVALENT RIGHTS


 


(a)            Dividend
Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award
entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend
Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may
be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an Award, including a Restricted Stock Unit Award, or as a freestanding award.
The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Unless provided by the Administrator,
dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in
additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or by
the Administrator, any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply
under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock
or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Dividend Equivalent Right
granted as a component of an Award under this Plan shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled only upon settlement
or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or
annulled under the same conditions as such other Award.


 


(b)            Termination.
Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing
after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s
termination of employment (or cessation of Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.


 


SECTION 11.           OTHER
EQUITY-BASED AWARDS


 


(a)            The
Administrator shall have the right (i) to grant other Awards based upon the Stock having such terms and conditions as the Administrator
may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of convertible preferred shares,
convertible debentures and other exchangeable or redeemable securities or equity interests, (ii) to grant limited-partnership or
any other membership or ownership interests (which may be expressed as units or otherwise) in a Subsidiary or operating or other partnership
(or other affiliate of the Company), including, without limitation, Units, with any Stock being issued in connection with the conversion
of (or other distribution on account of) an interest granted under the authority of this clause (ii) to be subject, for the avoidance
of doubt, to Section 3 and the other provisions of the Plan, and (iii) to grant Awards valued by reference to book value, fair
value or performance parameters relative to the Company or any Subsidiary or group of Subsidiaries.


 


SECTION 12.           TRANSFERABILITY
OF AWARDS


 


(a)            Transferability.
Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or by the Administrator, during a grantee’s lifetime, his or her Stock Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in
the event of the grantee’s incapacity. Except as provided in Section 12(b) below and unless otherwise provided in the
Award Agreement or by the Administrator, no Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order; provided that, for the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply to shares of Stock issued pursuant to an Award following the date on which such shares are vested.
No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation
hereof shall be null and void.


 






    -14- 


     


    

 


(b)           Administrator
Action. Notwithstanding Section 12(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award Agreement regarding
a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer his or her Awards (other
than Incentive Stock Options) to his or her Family Members for no value or consideration; provided that the transferee agrees in writing
to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award.


 


(c)            Designation
of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Company, each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate
a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death.
Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Company and shall not be effective until received by the Company.
If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary
shall be the grantee’s estate.


 


SECTION 13.           TAX
WITHHOLDING


 


(a)            Payment
by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received
thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver evidence of
book entry (or stock certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the
grantee.


 


(b)            Payment
in Stock. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee may elect to have the Company’s required tax withholding obligation
satisfied, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number
of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount
due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate or such lesser amount as is necessary
to avoid adverse accounting treatment or as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may also require Awards to be subject
to mandatory share withholding up to the required withholding amount. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair Market Value of withheld
shares shall be determined in the same manner as the value of Stock includible in income of the grantees. The Administrator may also
require the Company’s tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby a certain number
of shares of Stock issued pursuant to any Award are immediately sold and proceeds from such sale are remitted to the Company in an amount
that would satisfy the withholding amount due.


 






    -15- 


     


    

 


SECTION 14.           SECTION 409A
AWARDS


 


Awards are intended to be
exempt from Section 409A to the greatest extent possible and to otherwise comply with Section 409A. The Plan and all Awards
shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional
rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard,
if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to
a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall
be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or
(ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest,
penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any 409A Award may not be accelerated
except to the extent permitted by Section 409A.


 


SECTION 15.            TERMINATION OF SERVICE RELATIONSHIP, TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.


 


(a)            Termination
of Service Relationship. If the grantee’s Service Relationship is with a Subsidiary and such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary,
the grantee shall be deemed to have terminated his or her Service Relationship for purposes of the Plan.


 


(b)            For
purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of a Service Relationship:


 


(i)            a
transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or


 


(ii)           an
approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s
right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was
granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.


 


SECTION 16.        AMENDMENTS
AND TERMINATION


 


The Board may, at any time,
amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying
changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall materially and adversely affect rights under any outstanding
Award without the holder’s consent. Except as provided in Section 3, without prior stockholder approval, in no event may the
Administrator exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect
repricing through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash or other
Awards. The Board, in its discretion, may determine to make any Plan amendments subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders
for purposes of complying with the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Stock is listed or ensuring that
Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code. Nothing in this Section 16 shall
limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3.


 






    -16- 


     


    

 


SECTION 17.           STATUS
OF PLAN


 


With respect to the portion
of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee
shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine
in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements
to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence
of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.


 


SECTION 18.           GENERAL
PROVISIONS


 


(a)            No
Distribution. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company
in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.


 


(b)            Delivery
of Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue, or deliver any certificates
evidencing, shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of
counsel (to the extent the Administrator deems such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and/or delivery of such certificates
is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange
on which the shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. All Stock delivered pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign jurisdiction,
securities or other laws, rules and quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place
legends on any Stock certificate or in the records of the Company or the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.
In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants,
agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such
laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other
restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the
discretion of the Administrator.


 


(c)            REIT
Status. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the Company’s status as a REIT. No Award shall
be granted or awarded, and with respect to any Award granted under the Plan, such Award shall not vest, be exercisable or be settled:


 


(i)            to
the extent that the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award could cause the grantee or any other person to be in violation
of Section 6.2.1 of the Company’s charter; or


 






    -17- 


     


    

 


(ii)           if,
in the discretion of the Administrator, the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award could impair the Company’s status
as a REIT.


 


(d)            Section 83(b) Election.
No grantee may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to any Award under the Plan without the consent
of the Administrator, which the Administrator may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. If, with the consent of the Administrator,
a grantee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, the grantee shall be required to deliver a copy of such election
to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.


 


(e)            Other
Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company
or any Subsidiary.


 


(f)            Trading
Policy Restrictions. Stock Option exercises and other actions taken with respect to Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the
Company’s insider trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.


 


(g)            Clawback
Policy. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time.


 


SECTION 19.           EFFECTIVE
DATE OF PLAN


 


This Plan shall become effective
upon its adoption by the Board, subject to stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law and the Company’s bylaws
and articles of incorporation. No grants of Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Plan is
adopted by the Board.


 


SECTION 20.           GOVERNING
LAW


 


This Plan and all Awards
and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, applied without
regard to conflict of law principles.
