PURPOSE


 


The purpose of this

The Plan, as set forth herein, is effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in Article XIV). All references to “share”,
“shares”, “option” or “options” under this Plan have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s

by the Company or another Affiliate at the time the entity ceases to be an Affiliate. In the event that an Eligible Employee becomes
a Consultant or a Non-Employee Director upon the termination of his employment, unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
no Termination of Employment shall be deemed to occur until such time as such Eligible Employee is no longer an Eligible Employee,
a Consultant or a Non-Employee Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may otherwise define Termination of Employment
in the Award agreement or, if no rights of a Participant are reduced, may otherwise define Termination of Employment thereafter.

SHARE LIMITATIONS


 


4.1          
Shares.


 


(a)       
General Limitations.


 


(i)            
Subject to Section 4.2, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or used for reference purposes
or with respect to which Awards under the Plan may be granted over the term of the Plan is 1,500,000. Subject to Section 4.2, no
more than 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate may be issued under the Plan in respect of Incentive Stock Options.
At all times, the Company will reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Common Stock as will be required to satisfy the
requirements of all Awards granted and outstanding under the Plan. The aggregate share reserve specified in this Section 4.1(a)(i)
will be increased on January 1 of each year commencing in 2018 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2027 in an amount equal
to the least of: (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) four (4) percent (4%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (iii) such number of shares
of Common Stock, if any, determined by the Board.


 


(ii)          
If any Appreciation Award expires, terminates or is canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number
of shares of Common Stock underlying any unexercised portion shall again be available under the Plan. If shares of Restricted Stock
or Other Stock-Based Awards that are not Appreciation Awards are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares comprising
or underlying the Award shall again be available under the Plan.


 


(iii)         
Shares of Common Stock that are not issued pursuant to net settlement or which are used to pay any exercise price or tax
withholding obligation with respect to any Award shall not be available under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Awards that may be settled solely in cash shall not be deemed to use any shares under the Plan.


 


(iv)         
Shares issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or acquired for
the treasury of the Company, or both.


 


(b)       
Individual Participant Limitations. Except as otherwise provided herein, at all times:


 


(i)            
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be made subject to Stock Options, Restricted Stock or Other Stock-Based
Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock granted to each Eligible Employee or Consultant during any fiscal year of the Company
is 800,000 shares per type of Award (subject to increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2); provided that the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock for all types of Awards during any fiscal year of the Company that may be granted to each Eligible Employee
or Consultant is 800,000 (subject to increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2); and


 






     
10


     


    

 


(ii)          
the aggregate amount of compensation to be paid to any one Participant in respect of all Other Stock-Based Awards denominated
in dollars and Performance-Based Cash Awards, and granted to such Participant in any one fiscal year of the Company, shall not
exceed $5,000,000 and any Awards that are cancelled during the year shall be counted against this limit to the extent required
by Section 162(m) of the Code; provided, further, that the foregoing limit shall be adjusted on a proportionate basis
for any Performance Period that is not based on one fiscal year of the Company;


 


(iii)         
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be made subject to Awards granted to each Non-Employee Director during
any fiscal year of the Company is 500,000 shares (subject to increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2);


 


4.2          
Changes.


 


(a)       
The existence of the Plan and the Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders
of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s
capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (iii) any issuance of bonds,
debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate,
(vi) any Section 4.2 Event or (vii) any other corporate act or proceeding.


 


(b)       
Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(d), in the event of any change in the capital structure or business of the Company
by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, spin off, split off, reorganization or partial or complete liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants to
purchase Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, sale or transfer of all or part of the Company’s assets
or business, or other corporate transaction or event that would be considered an “equity restructuring” within the
meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718 (each, a “Section 4.2 Event”), then (i) the aggregate number or kind of
shares that thereafter may be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number or kind of shares or other property (including cash) subject
to an Award, (iii) the purchase or exercise price of Awards, or (iv) the individual Participant limits set forth in Section
4.1(b) (other than cash limitations) shall be adjusted by the Committee as the Committee determines, in good faith, to be necessary
or advisable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan. In connection with any
Section 4.2 Event, the Committee may provide for the cancellation of outstanding Awards and payment in cash or other property in
exchange therefor. In addition, subject to Section 4.2(d), in the event of any change in the capital structure of the Company that
is not a Section 4.2 Event (an “Other Extraordinary Event”), then the Committee may make the adjustments
described in clauses (i) through (iv) above as it determines, in good faith, to be necessary or advisable to prevent substantial
dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan. Notice of any such adjustment shall be given by the Committee
to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be binding for
all purposes of the Plan. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.2(b) or in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant
shall have no rights by reason of any Section 4.2 Event or any Other Extraordinary Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any
adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2(b) to Awards that are considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” within
the meaning of Section 409A shall be made in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A; and (y) any adjustments
made pursuant to Section 4.2(b) to Awards that are not considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to
Section 409A shall be made in a manner intended to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (A) continue to be exempt
from Section 409A or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A.


 






     
11


     


    

 


(c)       
Fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b) shall be aggregated
until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and rounding-up for fractions
equal to or greater than one-half. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.


 


(d)       
Upon the occurrence of an Acquisition Event, the Committee may terminate all outstanding and unexercised Stock Options or
any Other Stock-Based Award that provides for a Participant-elected exercise (collectively, “Exercisable Awards”),
effective as of the date of the Acquisition Event, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least 20 days prior
to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination
is delivered to the consummation of the Acquisition Event, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of
such Exercisable Awards that are then outstanding to the extent vested on the date such notice of termination is given (or, at
the discretion of the Committee, without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award agreements),
but any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the Acquisition
Event does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise
pursuant thereto shall be null and void and the applicable provisions of Section 4.2(b) and Article X shall apply. For the avoidance
of doubt, in the event of an Acquisition Event, the Committee may terminate any Exercisable Award for which the exercise price
is equal to or exceeds the Fair Market Value on the date of the Acquisition Event without payment of consideration therefor. If
an Acquisition Event occurs but the Committee does not terminate the outstanding Awards pursuant to this Section 4.2(d), then the
provisions of Section 4.2(b) and Article X shall apply.


 


4.3          
Minimum Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously
unissued shares of Common Stock are issued under the Plan, such shares shall not be issued for a consideration that is less than
permitted under applicable law.


 


ARTICLE

ELIGIBILITY


 


5.1          
General Eligibility. All current and prospective Eligible Employees and Consultants, and current Non-Employee
Directors, are eligible to be granted Awards. Eligibility for the grant of Awards and actual participation in the Plan shall be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Award under which a Participant
may receive shares of Common Stock may be granted to an Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director of any Affiliate
if such shares of Common Stock do not constitute “service recipient stock” for purposes of Section 409A with respect
to such Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director if such shares are required to constitute “service recipient
stock” for such Award to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.


 






     
12


     


    

 


5.2          
Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only Eligible Employees of the Company,
its Subsidiaries and its Parent (if any) are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Eligibility for the
grant of an Incentive Stock Option and actual participation in the Plan shall be determined by the Committee.


 


5.3          
General Requirement. The grant of Awards to a prospective Eligible Employee or Consultant and the vesting and
exercise of such Awards shall be conditioned upon such Person actually becoming an Eligible Employee or Consultant; provided,
however, that no Award may be granted to a prospective Eligible Employee or Consultant unless the Company determines that
the Award will comply with applicable laws, including the securities laws of all relevant jurisdictions (and, in the case of an
Award to an Eligible Employee or Consultant pursuant to which Common Stock would be issued prior to such Person performing services
for the Company, the Company may require payment of not less than the par value of the Common Stock by cash or check in order
to ensure proper issuance of the shares in compliance with applicable law). Awards may be awarded in consideration for past services
actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate.


 


ARTICLE

STOCK OPTIONS


 


6.1          
Stock Options. Each Stock Option shall be one of two types: (a) an Incentive Stock Option or (b) a
Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any Eligible Employee Incentive Stock Options,
Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options. The Committee shall have the authority to grant any Consultant or
Non-Employee Director Non-Qualified Stock Options. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Stock Option or the portion
thereof that does not qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.


 


6.2          
Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of the Plan relating
to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan
be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the Participants
affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.


 


6.3          
Terms of Stock Options. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions
and shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the
Committee shall deem desirable:


 






     
13


     


    

 


(a)       
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option shall be determined by the
Committee on or before the date of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Stock Option shall not be less than 100%
(or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant.


 


(b)       
Stock Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no Stock Option
shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Stock Option is granted (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, five years).


 


(c)       
Exercisability.


 


(i)            
Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined
by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement. The Committee may waive any limitations on exercisability at any time at or
after grant in whole or in part, in its discretion.


 


(ii)          
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement, (A) in the event the Participant engages
in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of the Stock Option, all Stock Options held by the Participant shall thereupon terminate
and expire, (B) as a condition of the exercise of a Stock Option, the Participant shall be required to certify in a manner acceptable
to the Company (or shall be deemed to have certified) that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the
Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity, and (C) in the event
the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity during the one-year period commencing on the earlier of the date the Stock Option
is exercised or the date of the Participant’s Termination, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant
at any time within one year after such date, and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, an amount equal to any gain realized
(whether at the time of exercise or thereafter) as a result of the exercise. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the
applicable Award agreement, this Section 6.3(c)(ii) shall cease to apply upon a Change in Control.


 


(d)       
Method of Exercise. To the extent vested, a Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during
the Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Committee (or its designee) specifying the number of shares of Common
Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be accompanied by payment in full of
the purchase price as follows: (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) solely
to the extent permitted by applicable law and authorized by the Committee, if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities
exchange or quoted on a national quotation system sponsored by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, through a procedure
whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly
to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee
(including the relinquishment of Stock Options or by payment in full or in part in the form of Common Stock owned by the Participant
(for which the Participant has good title free and clear of any liens and encumbrances)). No shares of Common Stock shall be issued
until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for.


 






     
14


     


    

 


(e)       
Non-Transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be Transferable by the Participant other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only
by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine that a Non-Qualified Stock Option that otherwise
is not Transferable pursuant to this section is Transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part, and in such circumstances,
and under such conditions as specified by the Committee. A Non-Qualified Stock Option that is Transferred to a Family Member pursuant
to the preceding sentence (i) may not be Transferred subsequently other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and (ii) remains subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award agreement. Any shares of Common Stock acquired upon
the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or a permissible transferee
pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be subject to the terms of this Plan and the
applicable Award agreement.


 


(f)        
Termination by Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant (or,
if no rights of the Participant (or, in the case of his death, his estate) are reduced, thereafter), if a Participant’s
Termination is by reason of death or Disability, all Stock Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable
on the date of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or, in the case of death, by the legal
representative of the Participant’s estate) at any time within a period of one year after the date of such Termination, but
in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options.


 


(g)       
Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant (or,
if no rights of the Participant (or, in the case of his death, his estate) are reduced, thereafter), if a Participant’s
Termination is by involuntary termination by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, all Stock Options that are held by such
Participant that are vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant
at any time within a period of 90 days after the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated
term of such Stock Options.


 


(h)      
Voluntary Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant (or,
if no rights of the Participant (or, in the case of his death, his estate) are reduced, thereafter), if a Participant’s
Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary Termination described in subsection (i)(B) below), all Stock Options that are
held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by
the Participant at any time within a period of 30 days after the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration
of the stated term of such Stock Options.


 


(i)        
Termination for Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant (or,
if no rights of the Participant (or, in the case of his death, his estate) are reduced, thereafter), if a Participant’s
Termination (A) is for Cause or (B) is a voluntary Termination after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination
for Cause, all Stock Options, whether vested or not vested, that are held by such Participant shall terminate and expire on the
date of such Termination.


 


(j)        
Unvested Stock Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Stock Options that are not vested as of the
date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire on the date of such Termination.


 






     
15


     


    

 


(k)       
Incentive Stock Option Limitations. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date
of grant) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar
year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Incentive
Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. In addition, if an Eligible Employee does not remain employed by
the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent at all times from the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted until three months prior
to the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by applicable law), such Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified
Stock Option. Should any provision of the Plan not be necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options,
or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may amend the Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining
the approval of the stockholders of the Company.


 


(l)        
Form, Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options. Stock Options may be evidenced by such form of agreement
as is approved by the Committee. The Committee may (i) modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options (provided that
(A) the rights of a Participant are not reduced without his consent and (B) such action does not subject the Stock Options to Section
409A or otherwise extend the Stock Options beyond their stated term), and (ii) accept the surrender of outstanding Stock Options
and authorize the granting of new Stock Options in substitution therefor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an outstanding
Option may not be modified to reduce the exercise price thereof nor may a new Option at a lower exercise price be substituted for
a surrendered Option (other than adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2), unless such action is approved by
the stockholders of the Company.


 


(m)     
No Reload Options. Options shall not provide for the grant of the same number of Options as the number of shares
used to pay for the exercise price of Options or shares used to pay withholding taxes (i.e., “reloads”).


 


ARTICLE

RESTRICTED STOCK


 


7.1          
Awards of Restricted Stock. The Committee shall determine the Participants to whom, and the time or times at
which, grants of Restricted Stock shall be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the purchase price (if any) to be paid by
the Participant (subject to Section 7.2), the time or times at which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture or to restrictions
on transfer, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards.


 


Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement, (A) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any
vesting of Restricted Stock, all unvested Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited, and (B) in the event the Participant
engages in Detrimental Activity during the one year period after any vesting of such Restricted Stock, the Committee shall be entitled
to recover from the Participant (at any time within one year after such engagement in Detrimental Activity) an amount equal to
the Fair Market Value as of the vesting date(s) of any Restricted Stock that had vested in the period referred to above. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement, this paragraph shall cease to apply upon a Change in Control.

The Committee may condition
the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals (including goals based on the Performance
Criteria) or such other factors as the Committee may determine.


 


7.2          
Awards and Certificates. The Committee may require, as a condition to the effectiveness of an Award of Restricted
Stock, that the Participant execute and deliver to the Company an Award agreement or other documentation and comply with the terms
of such Award agreement or other documentation. Further, Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following conditions:


 


(a)       
Purchase Price. The purchase price of Restricted Stock, if any, shall be fixed by the Committee. In accordance with
Section 4.3, the purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law, and, to the
extent not so permitted, such purchase price may not be less than par value.


 


(b)       
Legend. Each Participant receiving Restricted Stock shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of such shares
of Restricted Stock, unless the Committee elects to use another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing
ownership of shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and shall, in addition
to such legends required by applicable securities laws, bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions
applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:


 


“The anticipation, alienation,
attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge of the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to
the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Altimmune, Inc. (the “Company”) 2017 Omnibus Incentive
Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), and an Award Agreement entered into between the registered
owner and the Company dated __________. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company.”


 


(c)       
Custody. If stock certificates are issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require that
any stock certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed,
and that, as a condition of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a duly signed stock power or other
instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary
or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the shares subject to the Award
of Restricted Stock in the event that such Award is forfeited in whole or part.


 


7.3          
Restrictions and Conditions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions:


 


(a)       
Restriction Period.


 


(i)            
The Participant shall not be permitted to Transfer shares of Restricted Stock, and the Restricted Stock shall be subject
to a risk of forfeiture (collectively, “restrictions”) during the period or periods set by the Committee (the “Restriction
Periods”), as set forth in the Restricted Stock Award agreement. The Committee may provide for the lapse of the restrictions
in whole or in part (including in installments) based on service, attainment of performance goals or such other factors or criteria
as the Committee may determine, and may waive all or any part of the restrictions at any time subject to Section 7.3(a)(iii).


 






     
17


     


    

 


(ii)          
If the grant of Restricted Stock or the lapse of restrictions is based on the attainment of performance goals, such performance
goals shall be established by the Committee in writing on or before the date the grant of Restricted Stock is made and while the
outcome of the performance goals is substantially uncertain and that is permitted under Section 162(m) with regard to an Award
of Restricted Stock that is intended to comply with Section 162(m). Such performance goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding
(or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar
events or circumstances. With regard to an Award of Restricted Stock that is intended to comply with Section 162(m), (A) to the
extent that any such provision set forth in the prior sentence would create impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) or otherwise
violate Section 162(m), such provision shall be of no force or effect and (B) the applicable performance goals shall be based on
one or more of the Performance Criteria.


 


(b)       
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall have all the rights
of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company with respect to Restricted Stock, subject to the following provisions of this
Section 7.3(b). Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, (i) the Participant shall have no right to tender shares of Restricted
Stock, (ii) dividends or other distributions (collectively, “dividends”) on shares of Restricted Stock shall be withheld,
in each case, while the Restricted Stock is subject to restrictions, and (iii) in no event shall dividends or other distributions
payable thereunder be paid unless and until the shares of Restricted Stock to which they relate no longer are subject to a risk
of forfeiture. Dividends that are not paid currently shall be credited to bookkeeping accounts on the Company’s records for
purposes of the Plan and, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, shall not accrue interest. Such dividends shall be paid
to the Participant in the same form as paid on the Common Stock upon the lapse of the restrictions. The obligation of the Company
to pay any dividends hereunder upon lapse of the applicable restrictions shall be a general, unsecured obligation of the Company
payable solely from the general assets of the Company. In no event shall the Company be required, or have any obligation, to set
aside, or hold in escrow or trust, any funds for the purpose of paying such dividends.


 


(c)       
Termination. Upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason during the Restriction Period, all Restricted
Stock still subject to restriction will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee
at grant, or, if no rights of a Participant are reduced, thereafter.


 


(d)       
Lapse of Restrictions. If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock,
the certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant, and any and all unpaid distributions or dividends payable
thereunder shall be paid. All legends shall be removed from said certificates at the time of delivery to the Participant, except
as otherwise required by applicable law or other limitations imposed by the Committee.

OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS


 


8.1          
Other Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Other Stock-Based Awards that are payable in, valued in whole
or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to, shares of
Common Stock awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, shares of Common Stock in payment of
the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, stock appreciation
rights, stock equivalent units, restricted stock units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Awards valued by reference to
book value of shares of Common Stock.


 


The Committee shall
have authority to determine the Participants to whom, and the time or times at which, Other Stock-Based Awards shall be made, the
number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded pursuant to such Awards, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards.


 


The Committee may condition
the grant or vesting of Other Stock-Based Awards upon the attainment of performance goals (including, performance goals based on
the Performance Criteria) or such other factors as the Committee may determine. If the grant or vesting of an Other Stock-Based
Award is based on the attainment of performance goals, such performance goals shall be established by the Committee in writing
on or before the date the grant of Other Stock-Based Award is made and while the outcome of the performance goals is substantially
uncertain and that is permitted under Section 162(m) with regard to an Other Stock-Based Award that is intended to comply with
Section 162(m). Such performance goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods,
corporate transactions (including dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar events or circumstances. With regard to an Other
Stock-Based Award that is intended to comply with Section 162(m), (a) to the extent any such provision set forth in the prior sentence
would create impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) or otherwise violate Section 162(m), such provision shall be of no force
or effect and (b) the applicable performance goals shall be based on one or more of the Performance Criteria.


 


8.2          
Terms and Conditions. Other Stock-Based Awards made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions:


 


(a)       
Non-Transferability. The Participant may not Transfer Other Stock-Based Awards or the Common Stock underlying such
Awards prior to the date on which the underlying Common Stock is issued, or, if later, the date on which any restriction, performance
or deferral period applicable to such Common Stock lapses.


 


(b)       
Dividends. The Committee shall determine to what extent, and under what conditions, the Participant shall have the
right to receive dividends, dividend equivalents or other distributions (collectively, “dividends”) with respect to
shares of Common Stock covered by Other Stock-Based Awards. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, dividends with respect
to unvested Other Stock-Based Awards shall be withheld until such Other Stock-Based Awards vest. Dividends that are not paid currently
shall be credited to bookkeeping accounts on the Company’s records for purposes of the Plan and, except as otherwise determined
by the Committee, shall not accrue interest. Such dividends shall be paid to the Participant in the same form as paid on the Common
Stock or such other form as is determined by the Committee upon the lapse of the restrictions. The obligation of the Company to
pay any dividends hereunder upon lapse of the applicable restrictions shall be a general, unsecured obligation of the Company payable
solely from the general assets of the Company. In no event shall the Company be required, or have any obligation, to set aside,
or hold in escrow or trust, any funds for the purpose of paying such dividends.

(c)       
Vesting. Other Stock Based Awards and any underlying Common Stock shall vest or be forfeited to the extent set forth
in the applicable Award agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee. At the expiration of any applicable Performance
Period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the relevant performance goals are achieved and the portion of each Other
Stock-Based Award that has been earned. The Committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any
Other Stock-Based Award.


 


(d)       
Payment. Following the Committee’s determination in accordance with subsection (c) above, shares of Common
Stock or, as determined by the Committee, the cash equivalent of such shares, shall be delivered to the Participant, or his legal
representative, in an amount equal to such individual’s earned Other Stock-Based Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may exercise negative discretion by providing in an Other Stock-Based Award the discretion to pay an amount less than
otherwise would be provided under the applicable level of attainment of the performance goals or subject the payment of all or
part of any Other Stock-Based Award to additional vesting, forfeiture and deferral conditions as it deems appropriate.


 


(e)       
Detrimental Activity. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement, (A) in the
event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any vesting of such Other Stock-Based Award, all unvested Other
Stock-Based Award shall be immediately forfeited, and (B) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity during the
one year period after any vesting of such Other Stock-Based Award, the Committee shall be entitled to recover from the Participant
(at any time within the one-year period after such engagement in Detrimental Activity) an amount equal to any gain the Participant
realized from any Other Stock-Based Award that had vested in the period referred to above. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee
in the applicable Award agreement, this Section 8.2(e) shall cease to apply upon a Change in Control.


 


(f)        
Price. Common Stock issued on a bonus basis under this Article VIII may be issued for no cash consideration; Common
Stock purchased pursuant to a purchase right awarded under this Article VIII shall be priced as determined by the Committee.


 


(g)       
Termination. Upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason during the Performance Period, the Other Stock-Based
Awards will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant or, if no rights
of the Participant are reduced, thereafter.

PERFORMANCE-BASED CASH AWARDS


 


9.1          
Performance-Based Cash Awards. The Committee shall have authority to determine the Eligible Employees and Consultants
to whom, and the time or times at which, Performance-Based Cash Awards shall be made, the dollar amount to be awarded pursuant
to such Performance-Based Cash Award, and all other conditions for the payment of the Performance-Based Cash Award.


 


Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Committee shall condition the right to payment of any Performance-Based Cash Award upon the attainment of
specified performance goals (including performance goals based on the Performance Criteria) established pursuant to Section 9.2(c)
and such other factors as the Committee may determine, including to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m). The Committee
may establish different performance goals for different Participants.


 


Subject to Section 9.2(c),
for any Participant the Committee may specify a targeted Performance-Based Cash Award for a Performance Period (each an “Individual
Target Award”).  An Individual Target Award may be expressed, at the Committee’s discretion, as a fixed dollar
amount, a percentage of the Participant’s base pay, as a percentage of a bonus pool funded by a formula based on achievement
of performance goals, or an amount determined pursuant to an objective formula or standard.  The Committee’s establishment
of an Individual Target Award for a Participant for a Performance Period shall not imply or require that the same level or any
Individual Target Award be established for the Participant for any subsequent Performance Period or for any other Participant for
that Performance Period or any subsequent Performance Period.  At the time the performance goals are established (as provided
in Section 9.2(c)), the Committee shall prescribe a formula to determine the maximum and minimum percentages (which may be
greater or less than 100% of an Individual Target Award) that may be earned or payable based upon the degree of attainment of the
performance goals during the Performance Period.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Committee may exercise negative
discretion by providing in an Individual Target Award the discretion to pay a Participant an amount that is less than the Participant’s
Individual Target Award (or attained percentages thereof) regardless of the degree of attainment of the performance goals; provided
that, except as otherwise specified by the Committee with respect to an Individual Target Award, no discretion to reduce a Performance-Based
Cash Award earned based on achievement of the applicable performance goals shall be permitted for any Performance Period in which
a Change in Control occurs, or during such Performance Period with regard to the prior Performance Periods if the Performance-Based
Cash Awards for the prior Performance Periods have not been paid by the time of the Change in Control, with regard to individuals
who were Participants at the time of the Change in Control.


 


9.2          
Terms and Conditions. Performance-Based Cash Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:


 


(a)       
Committee Certification.  At the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee shall determine
and certify in writing the extent to which the performance goals established pursuant to Section 9.2(c) are achieved
and, if applicable, the percentage of the Performance-Based Cash Award that has been vested and earned.


 






     
21


     


    

 


(b)       
Waiver of Limitation.  In the event of the Participant’s Disability or death, or in cases of special circumstances
(to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) with regard to a Performance-Based Cash Award that is intended to comply with
Section 162(m)), the Committee may waive in whole or in part any or all of the limitations imposed thereunder with respect
to any or all of a Performance-Based Cash Award.


 


(c)       
Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards.  The performance goals for the earning of Performance-Based Cash Awards
shall be established by the Committee in writing on or before the date the grant of Performance-Based Cash Award is made and while
the outcome of the performance goals is substantially uncertain and that is permitted under Section 162(m) with regard to
a Performance-Based Cash Award that is intended to comply with Section 162(m). Such performance goals may incorporate provisions
for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including dispositions and acquisitions)
and other similar type events or circumstances. With regard to a Performance-Based Cash Award that is intended to comply with Section 162(m),
(i) to the extent any such provision set forth in the prior sentence would create impermissible discretion under Section 162(m)
or otherwise violate Section 162(m), such provision shall be of no force or effect and (ii) the applicable performance
goals shall be based on one or more of the Performance Criteria.


 


(d)       
Payment.  Following the Committee’s determination and certification in accordance with subsection (a)
above, the earned Performance-Based Cash Award amount shall be paid to the Participant or his legal representative, in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in the Performance-Based Cash Award agreement, but in no event, except as provided in the
next sentence, shall such amount be paid later than the later of: (i) March 15 of the year following the year in which
the applicable Performance Period ends (or, if later, the year in which the Award is earned); or (ii) two and one-half months
after the expiration of the fiscal year of the Company in which the applicable Performance Period ends.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee may place such conditions on the payment of all or any portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award as
the Committee may determine and prior to the beginning of a Performance Period, the Committee may (A) provide that the payment
of all or any portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award shall be deferred and (B) permit a Participant to elect to defer
receipt of all or a portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award.  Any Performance-Based Cash Award deferred by a Participant
in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee shall not increase (between the date on which the Performance-Based
Cash Award is credited to any deferred compensation program applicable to such Participant and the payment date) by an amount that
would result in such deferral being deemed as an “increase in the amount of compensation” under Section 162(m). 
To the extent applicable, any deferral under this Section 9.2(d) shall be made in a manner intended to comply with or
be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may exercise negative
discretion by providing in a Performance-Based Cash Award the discretion to pay an amount less than otherwise would be provided
under the applicable level of attainment of the performance goals.


 


(e)       
Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant (or, if no rights of the Participant
(or, in the case of his death, his estate) are reduced, thereafter), no Performance-Based Cash Award or pro rata portion thereof
shall be payable to any Participant who incurs a Termination prior to the date such Performance-Based Cash Award is paid and the
Performance-Based Cash Awards only shall be deemed to be earned when actually paid.

CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS


 


10.1       
In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, except as otherwise provided by the
Committee in an Award agreement or otherwise in writing, a Participant’s unvested Award shall not vest and a Participant’s
Award shall be treated in accordance with one of the following methods as determined by the Committee:


 


(a)       
Awards, whether or not then vested, may be continued, assumed, have new rights substituted therefor or be treated in accordance
with Section 4.2(d), and Restricted Stock or other Awards may, where appropriate in the discretion of the Committee, receive the
same distribution as other Common Stock on such terms as determined by the Committee; provided that, the Committee may decide
to award additional Restricted Stock or any other Award in lieu of any cash distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, any assumption or substitution of Incentive Stock Options shall be structured in a manner intended to comply with the requirements
of Treasury Regulation §1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto).


 


(b)       
Awards may be canceled in exchange for an amount of cash equal to the Change in Control Price (as defined below) per share
of Common Stock covered by such Awards), less, in the case of an Appreciation Award, the exercise price per share of Common Stock
covered by such Award. The “Change in Control Price” means the price per share of Common Stock paid in
the Change in Control transaction.


 


(c)       
Appreciation Awards may be cancelled without payment, if the Change in Control Price is less than the exercise price per
share of such Appreciation Awards.


 


Notwithstanding anything
else herein, the Committee may provide for accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions, of an Award at any time.

TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN


 


Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, the Board, or the Committee (to the extent permitted by law), may at any time, and from time to time,
amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary or advisable to
ensure that the Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred to in Article XIII or Section 409A), or suspend or
terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically
provided herein, the rights of a Participant with respect to Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination,
may not be reduced in any material respect without the consent of such Participant and, provided further, without the approval
of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote in accordance with applicable law, no amendment may be made
that would (a) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation
of Section 4.2); (b) increase the maximum individual Participant limits under Section 4.1(b) (except by operation of Section 4.2);
(c) change the classification of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan; (d) extend the maximum term of Options;
(e)  alter the Performance Criteria; (f) other than adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2, amend the
terms of outstanding Awards to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Appreciation Awards, or cancel outstanding
Stock Options or Appreciation Awards (where, prior to the reduction or cancellation, the exercise price exceeds the Fair Market
Value on the date of cancellation) in exchange for cash, other Awards or Stock Options or Appreciation Awards with an exercise
price that is less than the exercise price of the original Stock Options or Appreciation Awards; or (g) otherwise require
stockholder approval in order for the Plan or any of the Awards issued hereunder to continue to comply with applicable law (including
Code Sections 162(m) and 422) or the rules of any applicable securities exchange or system on which the Company’s securities
are listed or traded at the request of the Company.

The Committee may amend
the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided that no such amendment reduces in any
material respect the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent. Actions taken by the Committee in accordance
with Article IV shall not be deemed to reduce the rights of any Participant.


 


Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Board or the Committee may amend the Plan or any Award at any time without a Participant’s consent
to comply with Section 409A or any other applicable law.

UNFUNDED PLAN


 


The Plan is intended
to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments as to which
a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but which are not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein
shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.


 


ARTICLE
XIII



GENERAL PROVISIONS


 


13.1       
Legend. The Committee may require each person receiving shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award to represent
to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof and
such other securities law related representations as the Committee shall request. In addition to any legend required by the Plan,
the certificates or book entry accounts for such shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect
any restrictions on Transfer.


 


All certificates or
book entry accounts for shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other
restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed or any national automated quotation system on which the
Common Stock is then quoted, any applicable Federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee
may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. If necessary
or advisable in order to prevent a violation of applicable securities laws or to avoid the imposition of public company reporting
requirements, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any stock-settled Awards shall be paid in cash in an amount
equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of settlement of such Awards.


 






     
24


     


    

 


13.2       
Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation
arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable
or applicable only in specific cases.


 


13.3       
No Right to Employment/Consultancy/Directorship. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Award thereunder shall
give any Participant or other person any right to employment, consultancy or directorship by the Company or any Affiliate, or
limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate by which an employee is employed or a Consultant or Non-Employee Director
is retained to terminate his employment, consultancy or directorship at any time.


 


13.4       
Withholding of Taxes. (a) The Company or any Affiliate shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be
made pursuant to the Plan, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock or the payment
of any cash thereunder, payment by the Participant of, any Federal, foreign, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld.
Upon the vesting of Restricted Stock (or other Award that is taxable upon vesting), or upon making an election under Section 83(b)
of the Code, a Participant shall pay all required withholding to the Company or any Affiliate. Any statutorily required withholding
obligation with regard to any Participant may be satisfied, subject to the consent of the Committee, by reducing the number of
shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable or by delivering shares of Common Stock already owned. Any fraction of a share of
Common Stock required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by
the Participant.


 


13.5       
No Assignment of Benefits. No Award or other benefit payable under the Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan or permitted by the Committee, be Transferable in any manner, and any attempt to Transfer any such benefit
shall be void, and any such benefit shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements
or torts of any person who shall be entitled to such benefit, nor shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against
such person.


 


13.6       
Listing and Other Conditions. (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, as long as the Common Stock
is listed on a national securities exchange or system sponsored by a national securities association, the issuance of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on such exchange or system. The Company shall
have no obligation to issue such shares unless and until such shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any Stock Option
or other Exercisable Award with respect to such shares shall be suspended until such listing has been effected.


 


(b)       
If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any offer or sale of Common Stock pursuant to an Award
is or may be unlawful or prohibited, or will or may result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company, under the statutes,
rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction or under the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock then is listed, the Company shall have no obligation to make such offer or sale, or to make any application or to effect
or to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act or otherwise, with respect to the Common Stock or Awards,
and the right to exercise any Stock Option or other Exercisable Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel,
such offer or sale shall be lawful, permitted or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company.


 






     
25


     


    

 


(c)       
Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Section 13.6, any Award affected by such suspension which shall
not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all shares available before such suspension and as to shares which
would otherwise have become available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of any
Award.


 


(d)       
A Participant shall be required to supply the Company with certificates, representations and information that the Company
requests and otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, exemption, consent or
approval the Company deems necessary or appropriate.


 


13.7       
Governing Law. The Plan and matters arising under or related to it shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws.


 


13.8       
Construction. Wherever any words are used in the Plan in the masculine gender they shall be construed as though
they were also used in the feminine gender in all cases where they would so apply. As used herein, (a) ”or” shall
mean “and/or” and (b) ”including” or “include” shall mean “including, without limitation.”
Any reference herein to an agreement in writing shall be deemed to include an electronic writing to the extent permitted by applicable
law.


 


13.9       
No Acquired Rights. In participating in the Plan, each Participant is deemed to acknowledge and accept that
the Committee has the sole discretion to amend or terminate the Plan, to the extent permitted hereunder, at any time and that
the opportunity given to a Participant to participate in the Plan is at the sole discretion of the Committee and does not obligate
the Company or any Affiliate to offer such participation in the future (whether on the same or different terms). In participating
in the Plan, each Participant is deemed further to acknowledge and accept that (i) such Participant’s participation in the
Plan is not to be considered part of any normal or expected compensation, (ii) the value of Awards granted to a Participant shall
not be used for purposes of determining any benefits or compensation payable to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries
or estate under any benefit arrangement of the Company or its Affiliates and (iii) the termination of the Participant’s
employment with the Company or an Affiliate under any circumstance whatsoever will not give the Participant any claim or right
of action against the Company or any of its Affiliates in respect of any lost rights under the Plan that may arise as a result
of such termination of employment.


 


13.10    
Data Protection.


 


By participating in
the Plan, each Participant shall consent to the holding and processing of personal information provided by such Participant to
the Company, any Affiliate, trustee or third-party service provider, for all purposes relating to the operation of the Plan. These
include, but are not limited to: (i) administering and maintaining Participant records; (ii) providing information to the Company,
Affiliates, trustees of any employee benefit trust, registrars, brokers or third-party administrators of the Plan; (iii) providing
information to future purchasers or merger partners of the Company or any Affiliate, or the business in which the Participant works;
and (iv) transferring personal information about the Participant to any country or territory that may not provide the same protection
for the information as the Participant’s home country. Such personal information may include, without limitation, the Participant’s
name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality,

13.11    
Costs. The Company shall bear all expenses associated with administering the Plan, including expenses of issuing
Common Stock pursuant to any Awards.


 


13.12    
No Right to Same Benefits. The provisions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant, and
each Award to an individual Participant need not be the same.


 


13.13    
Death/Disability. The Committee may require the transferee of a Participant to supply it with written notice
of the Participant’s death or Disability and to supply it with a copy of the will (in the case of the Participant’s
death) or such other evidence as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to establish the validity of the transfer of an Award.
The Committee also may require that the transferee agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan.


 


13.14    
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. All elections and transactions under the Plan by persons subject to Section
16 of the Exchange Act involving shares of Common Stock are intended to comply with any applicable exemptive condition under Rule 16b-3.
The Committee may establish and adopt written administrative guidelines, designed to facilitate compliance with Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act, as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan and the transaction
of business thereunder.


 


13.15    
Section 409A. Although the Company does not guarantee to a Participant the particular tax treatment of any Award,
all Awards are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A and the Plan and any Award agreement
shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award constitutes “non-qualified
deferred compensation” pursuant to Section 409A (a “Section 409A Covered Award”), it is intended
to be paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A. In no event shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest
or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A or for any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in an Award to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to Section 409A Covered
Awards:


 


(a)       
A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of a Section 409A Covered
Award providing for payment upon or following a termination of the Participant’s employment unless such termination is also
a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of a Section
409A Covered Award, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean
separation from service. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or the Award, if the Participant is deemed on
the date of the Participant’s Termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under
Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none,
the default methodology set forth in Section 409A, then with regard to any such payment under a Section 409A Covered Award, to
the extent required to be delayed in compliance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, such payment shall not be made prior to
the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Participant’s separation from
service, and (ii) the date of the Participant’s death. All payments delayed pursuant to this Section 13.15(a) shall be paid
to the Participant on the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Participant’s separation from service
or, if earlier, on the date of the Participant’s death.


 






     
27


     


    

 


(b)       
With respect to any payment pursuant to a Section 409A Covered Award that is triggered upon a Change in Control, the settlement
of such Award shall not occur until the earliest of (i) the Change in Control if such Change in Control constitutes a “change
in the ownership of the corporation,” a “change in effective control of the corporation” or a “change in
the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation,” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v)
of the Code, (ii) the date such Award otherwise would be settled pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award agreement and (iii)
the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, subject to Section 13.15(a).


 


(c)       
For purposes of Code Section 409A, a Participant’s right to receive any installment payments under the Plan or pursuant
to an Award shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.


 


(d)       
Whenever a payment under the Plan or pursuant to an Award specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days
(e.g., “payment shall be made within 30 days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within
the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.


 


13.16    
Successor and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of a Participant, including
the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate.


 


13.17    
Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions
had not been included.


 


13.18    
Participants Subject to Taxation Outside the U.S.; No Tax Equalization. With respect to a Participant who is
subject to taxation in a country other than the United States, the Committee may grant Awards to such Participant on such terms
and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate to comply with the laws of the applicable country, and the Committee may create
such procedures, addenda and subplans and make such modifications as may, in the Committee’s discretion, be necessary or
desirable to comply with such laws. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any responsibility to such Participant with
respect to any taxes owed or owing in or to any jurisdiction that such Participant incurs as a result of receiving an Award and
becoming a Participant in the Plan, nor shall the Company or any Affiliate provide any tax equalization payment to any Participant
in respect of taxes owed or owing in or to any jurisdiction by a Participant.


 


13.19    
Payments to Minors, Etc. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other
person incapable of receipt thereof shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or
reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Committee, the Board,
the Company, its Affiliates and their employees, agents and representatives with respect thereto.

13.20    
Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall
not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.


 


13.21    
Recoupment. All Awards granted or other compensation paid by the Company under the Plan, including any shares
of Common Stock issued under any Award thereunder, will be subject to: (i) any compensation recapture policies established by
the Board or the Committee from time to time and in effect at the time of grant of the Award, and (ii) any compensation recapture
policies to the extent required pursuant to any applicable law (including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Act) or the rules
and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then traded.


 


13.22    
Reformation. If any provision regarding Detrimental Activity or any other provision set forth in the Plan or
an Award agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable or to be
excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographic application or subject, such provision or provisions shall be construed,
by limiting or reducing them to the extent legally permitted, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with then
applicable law.


 


13.23    
Electronic Communications. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Award agreement, notice
of exercise of an Exercisable Award, or other document or notice required or permitted by the Plan or an Award that is required
to be delivered in writing may, to the extent determined by the Committee, be delivered and accepted electronically. Signatures
also may be electronic if permitted by the Committee. The term “written agreement” as used in the Plan shall include
any document that is delivered and/or accepted electronically.


 


13.24    
Agreement. As a condition to the grant of an Award, if requested by the Company and the lead underwriter of
any public offering of the Common Stock (the “Lead Underwriter”), a Participant shall irrevocably agree
not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of,
pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into, derivative of,
or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, or any other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock
included in such public offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during such period of time following the
effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act that the Lead Underwriter shall specify
(the “Lock-up Period”). The Participant shall further agree to sign such documents as may be requested
by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agree that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Award until the end of such Lock-up Period.


 


13.25    
Defense of Trade Secrets Act.


 


Pursuant to 18 USC
§ 1833(b), an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosure
of a trade secret made: (i) in confidence to a government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for
the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; and/or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a
lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, an individual suing an employer for retaliation based
on the reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information
in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose
the trade secret except pursuant to court order.

PLAN


 


UK ADDENDUM


 


		1.	Purpose



 


		1.1	The purpose of this UK Addendum to the Plan is to enable the Committee to grant Awards (being Stock
Options, Restricted Stock, Other Stock-Based Awards or Performance-Based Cash Awards) to certain employees and full-time directors
of the Company who are based in the United Kingdom only.



 


		1.2	Awards granted pursuant to the UK Addendum will be non-tax advantaged for UK tax purposes and,
to the extent relevant, Awards are granted pursuant to an “employee share scheme” for the purposes of the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000.



 


		2.	Definitions



 


Any terms not defined in this
UK Addendum will have the meaning set out in Article II of the Plan.


 


		3.	Terms



 


Awards granted pursuant to the
UK Addendum shall be governed by the terms of the Plan, subject to any such amendments set out below and by the terms of the individual
Award agreement entered into between the Company and the Participant.


 


		4.	Withholding Obligations



 


		4.1	The Participant shall be accountable for any income tax and, subject to the following provisions,
national insurance liability which is chargeable on any assessable income deriving from the grant, vesting, exercise, transfer
or cancellation (whether for consideration or otherwise) of an Award, or in respect of any additional share or cash consideration
acquired as a result of distribution of a dividend, or otherwise in respect of the exercise of an Award.  In respect of such
assessable income, the Participant shall indemnify the Company and (at the direction of the Company) any Affiliate which is or
may be treated as the employer of the Participant in respect of the following (together, the “Tax Liabilities”):



 


		(a)	any income tax liability which falls to be paid to HMRC by the Company (or the relevant employing
Affiliate) under the PAYE system as it applies to income tax under the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA”)
and the Pay As You Earn (“PAYE”) regulations referred to therein; and



 


		(b)	any national insurance liability which falls to be paid to HMRC by the Company (or the relevant
employing Affiliate) under the PAYE system as it applies for national insurance purposes under the Social Security Contributions
and Benefits Act 1992 and regulations referred to therein, including:



 


		(i)	all the employee’s primary Class 1 national insurance contributions; and



 






     
1


     


    

 


		(ii)	to the extent permitted by law, all of the employer’s secondary Class 1 national insurance
contributions.



 


		4.2	Pursuant to the indemnity referred to in clause 4.1 above, the Participant shall make such arrangements
as the Company requires to meet the cost of the Tax Liabilities, including, at the direction of the Company, any of the following:



 


		(a)	making a cash payment of an appropriate amount to the relevant employing company whether by cheque,
banker’s draft or deduction from salary in time to enable the Company to remit such amount to HMRC before the 14th day following
the end of the month in which the event giving rise to the Tax Liabilities occurred;



 


		(b)	appointing the Company as agent and/or attorney for the sale of sufficient Shares acquired pursuant
to the exercise of any Stock Options or pursuant to the grant, exercise or vesting of an Award to cover the Tax Liabilities and
authorising the payment to the relevant company of the appropriate amount (including all reasonable fees, commissions and expenses
incurred by the relevant employing company in relation to such sale) out of the net proceeds of sale of such Shares; or



 


		(c)	to the extent permitted by law, entering into:



 


		(i)	an agreement that allows the Participant’s employer to recover the whole or any portion of
any employer’s secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions in respect of the vesting or exercise of the Award from
the Participant; or



 


		(ii)	an election whereby the employer’s liability for secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions
is transferred to the Participant on terms set out in the election, as approved by HMRC.



 


		4.3	The failure by a Participant to make arrangements in line with clause 4.2 above at the request
of the Company shall result in the vesting of such Award (other than an Exercisable Award) or the exercise of such Exercisable
Award (as applicable) being ineffective, null and void.



 


		5.	Section 431 Elections



 


Where Shares to be acquired on
the exercise or vesting of an Award are considered (at the sole discretion of the Company) to be “restricted securities”
for the purposes of Part 7 of ITEPA, it is a condition of exercise that the Participant (if so directed by the Company) enter into
a joint election with the Company (or, if different, the relevant employing Affiliate) pursuant to section 431 ITEPA electing that
the market value of the shares to be acquired on the exercise or vesting of the Award be calculated as if the Shares were not “restricted
securities”.
