2.             Time
of Exercise of Nonqualified Option. Until the Nonqualified Option expires or terminates as provided
in this Agreement, the Participant may exercise the Nonqualified Option from time to time to purchase whole Shares as to which the Nonqualified
Option is exercisable. The Nonqualified Option becomes exercisable, to the extent vested, on the Vesting Dates as set forth in the Vesting
Schedule in Section 1 of this Agreement.


 


3.             Termination
of Continuous Status as a Participant


 


(a)           General
Rule. Except as provided in this Section 3, the Nonqualified Option may not be exercised
unless at the time of exercise the Participant is in Continuous Status as a Participant.


 


(b)            Termination
of Continuous Status as a Participant.


 


(i)            In
the event of termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant for any reason other than Cause, the Participant
shall have the right to exercise the Nonqualified Option at any time within 90 days following such termination to the extent the Participant
was entitled to exercise such Nonqualified Option on the date of such termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant.


 


(ii)            In
the event of termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant for Cause, all outstanding Shares subject to the
Nonqualified Option shall be forfeited as of date of the determination by the Board or Committee that Cause to terminate the Participant
exists.


 


(c)            Failure
to Exercise Nonqualified Option. To the extent that following termination of Continuous Status
as a Participant, the Participant does not exercise the Nonqualified Option within the applicable post-employment periods described above
in this Section 3, all rights to purchase Shares pursuant to the Nonqualified Option cease and terminate as of the date of expiration
of the applicable post-employment period for exercise, and the Participant shall have no rights or interest with respect to such Nonqualified
Option following such expiration date.


 


(d)            Change
in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the Nonqualified Option will automatically become One
Hundred Percent (100%) vested and exercisable no later than immediately prior to such Change in Control.


 


4.            Method
of Exercise of Nonqualified Option. Unless otherwise authorized by the Committee or its authorized
designee, the Nonqualified Option may only be exercised by using the exercise notice attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A
by:


 


(a)            Cash;


 


(b)            Check
payable to the Company; or


 


(c)            A
payment of such other lawful consideration as the Committee may determine.


 


5.            Securities
Laws Restrictions and Other Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Participant represents and
warrants that if and when the Participant exercises the Nonqualified Option, the Participant shall purchase Shares only for the Participant’s
own account and not on behalf of any others. The Participant understands and acknowledges that federal and state securities laws govern
and restrict the Participant’s right to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares unless the Participant’s offer, sale
or other disposition thereof is registered or qualified under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or in the opinion of
the Company’s counsel, such offer, sale or other disposition is exempt from registration or qualification thereunder. The Participant
agrees that the Participant shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares in any manner which would: (i) require the
Company to file any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar filing under state law) or to
amend or supplement any such filing or (ii) violate or cause the Company to violate the 1933 Act, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder or any other state or federal law. The Participant further understands that the certificates for any Shares
the Participant purchases shall bear such legends as the Company deems necessary or desirable in connection with the 1933 Act or other
rules, regulations or laws.


 



     


     


    

 


6.             Nontransferability.
Except as provided in this Section 6, no right or interest of the Participant in the Nonqualified
Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company, or shall be subject to any lien,
obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company. During a Participant’s lifetime, the Nonqualified
Option may be exercised only by the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s Disability, by the Participant’s guardian
or legal representative. The Nonqualified Option is assignable and transferable by the Participant by will and pursuant to the laws of
descent and distribution, provided, however, that any such assignment or transfer is permitted under any agreement between the Company
and the Participant.


 


7.             No
Rights to Awards; Non-Uniform Determinations. The Participant shall not have any claim to be
granted any Nonqualified Option under the Plan. Neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants uniformly, and
determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive,
Nonqualified Options (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).


 


8.             No
Right to Continued Status as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan, this Agreement or any other
document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate the
Participant’s employment or status as an officer, director or consultant at any time, nor confer upon the Participant any right
to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company, whether for the duration of the Participant’s Nonqualified
Option or otherwise.


 


9.             Notices.


 


(i)            Notices
to the Company. Notices intended for the Company shall be deemed validly given only if delivered
in person to, or duly sent, postage and fees prepaid, by registered mail or national courier service addressed to the Company at its
principal office and to the attention of the [Chief Financial Officer] or another person as designated by the Committee,
or to such other address or officer as the Company or its successors may hereafter designate by written notice.


 


(ii)            Notice
to the Participant. Notices intended for the Participant (or any transferee of the Participant)
shall be deemed validly given only if delivered in person or duly sent, postage and fees prepaid, by mail or national courier service
to the last known address of the Participant (or such transferee) as it appears on the records of the Company or to such other address
as the Participant (or such transferee) shall designate by written notice.


 


(iii)            General.
Notices under this Agreement must be in writing. Notices may be sent by nationally or internationally recognized overnight couriers (UPS,
Fedex, DHL or other commercial delivery service). Notices are effective when actually delivered or, if mailed (A) by the United
States Postal Service, three days after deposit into the United States mail by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or (B) by
a nationally or internationally recognized overnight courier, the next business day after deposit if within the United States, or the
second business day after deposit, if not within the United States.


 


10.          No
Shareholder Rights. This Nonqualified Option does not give the Participant any of the rights
of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Nonqualified Option.


 



     


     


    

 


11.          Other
Agreements. The Participant hereby voluntarily agrees to sign any shareholder’s agreement
of the Company which applies to similarly-situated stockholders or to Participants under the Plan or any similar agreement as prescribed
by the Committee and in the form approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. Participant hereby expressly acknowledges that
the Nonqualified Option has been granted to Participant conditioned upon Participant’s agreement and actual execution of documents
in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and upon Participant’s agreement that any transferee of Shares that have
been acquired by the Participant pursuant to the Nonqualified Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, including
without limitation this Section 11, as if such transferee was or is the Participant. Accordingly, if the Participant (or transferee
of Shares, as the case may be) does not sign the shareholder’s agreement of the Company which applies to similarly-situated stockholders
or other documents, all of the Shares subject to any outstanding Nonqualified Option and all of the Shares granted pursuant to any Nonqualified
Option shall be forfeited hereby.


 


12.          Amendments.
This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified unless evidenced in writing and signed
by the Company and the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 15.1 of the Plan, neither the requirement that the
Participant (or a transferee of Shares) execute any shareholders agreement of the Company which applies to similarly-situated stockholders
or similar agreement pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, nor the actual execution of any such agreement shall be considered
to adversely affect the Nonqualified Option, even if such agreement contains provisions which are more restrictive than the Plan or this
Agreement.


 


13.          Governing
Law. To the extent not governed by federal law, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.


 


14.          Complete
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Participant and the Company,
both oral and written concerning the matters addressed in this Agreement, and all prior agreements or representations concerning the
matters addressed in this Agreement, whether written or oral, express or implied, are terminated and of no further effect. In the event
of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of the Plan or this Agreement or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as
to any question, right or obligation arising or related to the Plan o this Agreement, the decision of the Committee shall be final and
binding upon all persons.


 


15.          Severability.
If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement
will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.


 



     


     


    

 


By executing this Agreement, the Participant
agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In addition, the Participant recognizes and agrees that all determinations,
interpretations, or other actions respecting the Plan and this Agreement will be made by the Committee or any authorized designee, and
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.
