subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant Nonqualified Stock Options

subject to the requirements of Section 5.2.

Option so granted shall be subject to the following conditions:


 


(a)Exercise
Price. As limited by Section 5.2(e) below, each Option shall state the exercise price which shall be set by the Board at the Date
of Grant; provided, however, no Option shall be granted at an exercise price which is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the Date of Grant. The Administrator also may authorize payment in accordance with a cashless exercise program under
which, if so instructed by the Participant, Stock may be issued upon a cashless exercise of the option.


 


(b)Form
of Payment. The exercise price of an Option may be paid (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order
of the Company; (ii) by delivering shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount
of the exercise price, but only to the extent such exercise of an Option would not result in an adverse accounting charge to the
Company for financial accounting purposes with respect to the shares used to pay the exercise price unless otherwise determined
by the Board; or (iii) a combination of the foregoing. In addition to the foregoing, the Board may permit an Option granted under
the Plan to be exercised by a broker-dealer acting on behalf of a Participant through procedures approved by the Board. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may require a Participant to pay all applicable income and employment taxes, required by law to be
withheld, in cash as a precondition to exercising the Participant’s Option until such time as the Company has registered
its stock and has established a relationship with a broker-dealer acting on the Company’s behalf to sell the stock in the
market.

Section
6.2 Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the following:


 


(a)
Restriction Period. Restricted Stock Awards granted to an Eligible Employee shall require the holder to remain in the employment
of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliated Entity for a prescribed period. Restricted Stock Awards granted to Consultants
or Eligible Directors shall require the holder to provide continued services to the Company for a period of time. These employment
and service requirements are collectively referred to as a “Restriction Period”. The Board or the Committee, as the
case may be, shall determine the Restriction Period or Periods which shall apply to the shares of Common Stock covered by each
Restricted Stock Award or portion thereof. In addition to any time vesting conditions determined by the Board or the Committee,
as the case may be, Restricted Stock Awards may be subject to the achievement by the Company of specified performance criteria
based upon the Company’s achievement of all or any of the operational, financial or stock performance criteria set forth
on Exhibit A annexed hereto, as may from time to time be established by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be. At the
end of the Restriction Period, assuming the fulfillment of any other specified vesting conditions, the restrictions imposed by
the Board or the Committee, as the case may be shall lapse with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted
Stock Award or portion thereof. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting
of a Restricted Stock Award in the case of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant who is an Eligible Employee
or resignation of a Participant who is a Consultants or an Eligible Director.


 


(b)Restrictions.
The holder of a Restricted Stock Award may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the shares
of Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Award during the applicable Restriction Period. The Board shall impose such
other restrictions and conditions on any shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award as it may deem advisable including,
without limitation, restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws, and may legend the certificates representing
Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.


 


(c)Rights
as Stockholders. During any Restriction Period, the Board may, in its discretion, grant to the holder of a Restricted Stock Award
all or any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to vote
such shares and to receive dividends. If any dividends or other distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock, all such shares
shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were
paid.

STOCK
APPRECIATION RIGHTS


 


Section
7.1 Grant of SARs. The Board may from time to time, in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan and subject
to other terms and conditions as the Board may determine, grant a SAR to any Eligible Employee, Consultant or Eligible Director.
SARs may be granted in tandem with an Option, in which event, the Participant has the right to elect to exercise either the SAR
or the Option. Upon the Participant’s election to exercise one of these Awards, the other tandem Award is automatically
terminated. SARs may also be granted as an independent Award separate from an Option. Each grant of a SAR shall be evidenced by
an Award Agreement executed by the Company and the Participant and shall contain such terms and conditions and be in such form
as the Board may from time to time approve, subject to the requirements of the Plan. The exercise price of the SAR shall not be

of Common Stock on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR. Payment of amounts attributable to a SAR shall be made
in shares of Common Stock.

STOCK
ADJUSTMENTS


 


In
the event that the shares of Common Stock, as constituted on the effective date of the Plan, shall be changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason
of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, spin-off, combination of shares or otherwise), or if
the number of such shares of Common Stock shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend, or a dividend on the shares
of Common Stock, or if rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be issued to holders of all outstanding
Common Stock, then there shall be substituted for or added to each share available under and subject to the Plan, and each share
theretofore appropriated under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding
share of Common Stock shall be so changed or for which each such share shall be exchanged or to which each such share shall be
entitled, as the case may be, on a fair and equivalent basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 424 of the
Code; provided, however, with respect to Options, in no such event will such adjustment result in a modification of any Option
as defined in Section 424(h) of the Code. In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or any stock or other securities into which the Common Stock shall have been changed or for which it shall
have been exchanged, then if the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment
in the shares available under and subject to the Plan, or in any Award, theretofore granted, such adjustments shall be made in
accordance with such determination, except that no adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan
or to which any Award relates that would otherwise be required shall be made unless and until such adjustment either by itself
or with other adjustments not previously made would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares of
Common Stock available under the Plan or to which any Award relates immediately prior to the making of such adjustment (the “Minimum
Adjustment”). Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as
soon as such adjustment together with other adjustments required by this Article X and not previously made would result in a Minimum
Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment required by this Article X which otherwise would not result in a Minimum
Adjustment shall be made with respect to shares of Common Stock relating to any Award immediately prior to exercise, payment or
settlement of such Award.

GENERAL


 


Section
11.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may alter, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time provided, however, that
it may not, without stockholder approval, adopt any amendment which would (i) allow for the grant of incentive stock options pursuant
to the Plan.


 


Section
11.2 Termination of Employment; Termination of Service. Unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, if an Eligible Employee’s
employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity terminates as a result of death, Disability or Retirement, the
Eligible Employee (or personal representative in the case of death) shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares
subject to any vested Options and SAR’s for a period of up to two year from such date of termination, the unvested portion
of any Award shall be forfeited unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement or by the Board. If
an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates for any other reason, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to purchase all
or any part of the shares subject to any vested Options and SAR’s for a period of up to one year from such date of termination,
the unvested portion of any Award shall be forfeited unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement
or by the Board. In no event shall any Options and SAR’s be exercisable past their expiration date. The Board may, in its
sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of unvested Options and SAR’s in the event of termination of employment of any Participant.

In
the event a Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company or an Eligible Director terminates service as a director of the
Company, the unvested portion of any Award shall be forfeited unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Eligible
Director’s Award Agreement or by the Board. The Consultant or Eligible Director’s Nonqualified Stock Options and SAR’s
which are otherwise vested and exercisable on his date of termination of service shall continue to be exercisable from such date
of termination for a period of up to one year.


 


All
other benefits under this plan that have not been earned or performance goals that have not been reached on the date that employment
has been terminated or services terminated, for whatever reason shall terminate on the date the employment or services with the
Company is terminated.


 


Section
11.3 Limited Transferability – Options. The Board may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of the Nonqualified
Stock Options granted under this Plan to be on terms which permit transfer by the Participant to (i) the ex-spouse of the Participant
pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order, (ii) the spouse, children, grandchildren, or siblings of the Participant
(“Immediate Family Members”), (iii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members,
or (iv) a partnership or limited liability company in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners or members. In
addition, there may be no consideration for any such transfer. The Award Agreement pursuant to which such Nonqualified Stock Options
are granted expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this paragraph. Subsequent transfers of transferred
Nonqualified Stock Options shall be prohibited except as set forth below in this Section 11.3. Following transfer, any such Nonqualified
Stock Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer,
provided that for purposes of Section 11.2 hereof the term “Participant” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee.
The events of termination of employment of Section 11.2 hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant,
following which the Nonqualified Stock Options shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods
specified in Section 11.2 hereof. No transfer pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall be effective to bind the Company unless the
Company shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer together with such other documents regarding the transfer
as the Board shall request. With the exception of a transfer in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3,
all other types of Awards authorized under this Plan shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution;
however, no such transfer shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Board has been furnished with written notice of such
transfer and an authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Board may deem necessary to establish the validity
of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee of the terms and conditions of such Award.

Section
11.4 Withholding Taxes. Unless otherwise paid by the Participant, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliated Entities
shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable
income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay
to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. In accordance with any applicable administrative guidelines
it establishes, the Board may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an Award by (i)
directing the Company to withhold from any payment of the Award a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value
on the date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company previously owned
shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes.
However, any payment made by the Participant pursuant to either of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall not be permitted if
it would result in an adverse accounting charge with respect to such shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by
the Board.


 


Section
11.5 Intentionally deleted.


 


Section

consent.

this Plan to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under this Plan prior to the obtaining
of any approval from, or satisfaction of any waiting period or other condition imposed by, any governmental agency which the Board
shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.


 


Section
11.8 Right to Continued Employment. Participation in the Plan shall not give any Eligible Employee any right to remain in
the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any Affiliated Entity. The Company or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary
or an Affiliated Entity, the Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity reserves the right to terminate any Eligible Employee at any time.
Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible Employee or any other individual any right to be selected
as a Participant or to be granted an Award.


 


Section
11.9 Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Board and each member of the Compensation Committee shall be fully justified
in relying or acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries
and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself or herself. In
no event shall any person who is or shall have been a member of the Board be liable for any determination made or other action
taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including the furnishing
of information, or failure to act, if in good faith.

Section
11.10 Construction. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and
headings of the sections in the Plan are for the convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of
the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.


 


Section
11.11 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware except
as superseded by applicable Federal law.


 


Section
11.12 Other Laws. The Board may refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award
if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or such other consideration might
violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and
any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award
shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.


 


Section
11.13 No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor an Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund
of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that a Participant
acquires the right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of
any general unsecured creditor of the Company.


 


Section
11.14 Conformance to Section 409A of the Code To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the
Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions
required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall 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 Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code
and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement
or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other
actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code or (ii)
comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.
