otherwise expressly provided in herein, no Recipient shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of the capital stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number
of shares of any class or by reason of any dissolutions, liquidation, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another corporation, and any issue by the Company of Shares of any class or of securities convertible into Shares of any
class shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to any Award granted hereunder. The grant of an Award pursuant to this Plan shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 ARTICLE XII 
 ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK 
 If any change is made in the Shares
subject to the Plan, or subject to any Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split,
liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be equitably adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number
of shares subject to the Plan, and the outstanding Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and price per share subject to such outstanding Awards. Such adjustments shall be made by the Board, the determination of
which shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company.) When the event(s) described in the preceding
sentences occur, all Plan provisions relating to restrictions and lapse of restrictions will apply to such new, additional, or different shares or securities to the extent applicable to the Shares with respect to which they were distributed,
provided, however, that if the Recipient shall receive rights, warrants or fractional interests in respect of any of Award, such rights or warrants may be held, exercised, sold or otherwise disposed of, and such fractional interests may be settled,
by the Recipient free and clear of the restrictions hereafter set forth. 
 ARTICLE XIII 

AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AWARDS 
 1. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Article XII relating to adjustments upon changes in capitalization, no amendment shall be effective
unless approved by the equity holders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the adoption of the amendment, where the amendment will: 
 1.1. Increase the number of Shares reserved for Awards under the Plan; 
 1.2.
Modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan (to the extent such modification requires shareholder approval in order for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or any securities exchange on
which the Shares are listed); or 
 1.3. Modify the Plan in any other way if such modification requires equity holder approval
in order for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, other applicable law or any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed. 
 2. The Board may in its sole discretion submit any other amendment to the Plan for equity holder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of
Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers. 

3. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may, but shall not be required to, amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary
or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Directors or Advisors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Awards and/or to bring the Plan and/or
Awards granted under it into compliance therewith. 
 4. Rights and obligations of the Recipient under any Award granted before
amendment of the Plan shall not be materially impaired by any amendment of the Plan except with the written consent of the Recipient, unless such amendment is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, rule or accounting requirement as
determined in the sole discretion of the Board.

 5. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend, modify, extend, cancel or renew
any Award or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Award or any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof and accelerate, continue, extend or defer the exercise time or vesting period for any Award or the vesting of any Shares
subject thereto, including with respect to the period following a Recipient’s termination of status as an Employee, Director or Advisor; provided, however, that the rights and obligations under any Award shall not be materially impaired by any
such amendment except with the written consent of the Recipient, unless such amendment is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, rule or accounting requirement as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. 

6. The Board may accelerate the vesting and/or, if applicable, exercisability of any Award notwithstanding the provisions in the
applicable Award Agreement. 
 7. The Board may amend the Plan to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules,
as well as other developments, and to grant Awards that qualify for beneficial treatment under such rules without shareholder approval. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS 

The grant of Awards and the issuance of Shares upon or following the exercise and/or vesting of Awards shall be subject to compliance
with all applicable requirements of federal and state law with respect to such securities. Shares may not be issued in respect of an Award granted hereunder if the issuance of such Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or
state securities laws or other laws or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Shares may then be listed. In addition, no Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised and no Shares may be issued
in connection with an Award unless (i) a registration statement under the Act shall at the time of issuance be in effect with respect to the Shares to be issued in connection with the Award or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
the Shares issuable in connection with the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction
the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition of the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the grant of any other Award, the Company may require the Recipient to satisfy any qualifications that may be
necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. The Company may, upon the advice of counsel to the Company,
place legends on any stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Shares.

 ARTICLE XV 
 COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A 
 To the extent that the Board determines that
any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement or other agreement evidencing the Award will incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable,
the Plan and Award agreements will be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and

Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Plan’s
effective date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Plan’s effective date the Board determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of
Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Plan’s effective date), the Board may adopt such amendment to the Plan and applicable Award agreements or adopt other policies and procedures
(including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended
tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. 

ARTICLE XVI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 1. AWARD AGREEMENT REQUIRED. Each Award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. No Award or
purported Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement or by communicating with the Company in such manner as the Company may authorize. 

2. EMPLOYMENT AND SHAREHOLDER STATUS. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Recipient will not give
any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, the grant of an Award under the Plan shall not confer upon the holder thereof any right as an equity holder of the Company, unless and until the
Recipient becomes registered as a holder of Shares on the records of the Company. 
 3. WITHHOLDING BY COMPANY. If the Company
or its Affiliates is required to withhold any amounts by reason of federal, state or local tax laws, rules or regulations, in respect of the issuance of Awards or Shares pursuant to the Plan, the Company or such Affiliates shall be entitled to
deduct and withhold such amounts from any cash payments to be made to the Recipient. In any event, such person shall promptly make available to the Company or such Affiliate, when requested by the Company or such Affiliate, sufficient funds to meet
the requirements of such withholding, and the Company or such Affiliate may take and authorize such steps as it may deem advisable in order to have such funds made available to the Company or such Affiliate from any funds or property due or to
become due to such person. The exercise will not be effective until the Company has received such funds to cover the withholding. 
 4. TERMINATION. The Plan shall terminate automatically on the date that is ten (10) years from the effective date of the Plan, and may be terminated at any earlier date by the Board. No Award shall
be granted hereunder after termination of the Plan, but such termination shall not affect the validity of any Award then outstanding. 
 5. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Plan was adopted by the Board on November 2, 2012 and shall be effective as of such date, provided the Plan is approved by equity holders within twelve (12) months of
said date. Awards may be granted, but Shares may not be issued pursuant to such Awards, prior to the date of such shareholder approval. 
 6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares pursuant to this Plan and, accordingly, a Recipient may be awarded or required to purchase only whole shares.

 7. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken hereunder, to the
extent not otherwise governed by the Code or laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly, without reference to the conflict of laws principles. 

8. FUNDING OF PLAN. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan. The Company shall not be required to establish or fund any special or
separate account or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under the Plan. Recipients are and shall at all times be general creditors of the Company with respect to their Awards. If the Board or the Company
chooses to set aside funds in a trust or otherwise for the payment of Awards under the Plan, such funds shall at all times be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency. 

9. SUCCESSORS. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor
to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 

10. GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine,
any feminine term used herein shall include the masculine, and the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 11. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be
construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 12. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. Whenever any
provision of the Plan refers to any law, rule, or regulation, such provision shall be deemed to refer to the law, rule, or regulation currently in effect and, when and if such law, rule, or regulation is subsequently amended or replaced, to the
amended or successor law, rule, or regulation. The term “including” shall be deemed to include the words “including without limitation.”
