POLARITYTE,
INC. 


CHANGE
IN CONTROL COMPENSATION PLAN


 


ARTICLE
I - INTRODUCTION


 


Section
1.1 Background. The Board of Directors of PolarityTE, Inc. (the “Company”), has considered the effect a Change
in Control of the Company may have on certain Executives of the Company. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of its Executives, notwithstanding
the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the
inevitable distraction of its Executives by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks, including personal financial risks,
created by a pending or threatened Change in Control of the Company.


 


Section
1.2 Purpose. This Plan is designed to encourage the Executives’ full attention and dedication to the Company currently
and in the event of any threatened or pending Change in Control transaction and, notwithstanding the outcome of any such proposed
transaction, to assure fair treatment of such Executives in the event of a Change in Control of the Company.

    	5



     


    

 


(c)
Payment of amounts, including any Severance Payments, under this Plan are intended to comply with an exception to or exclusion
from the requirements of Code Section 409A to the maximum extent possible and, to the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to
any payments or benefits, this Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, this Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with
such intentions. The payments or benefits to be made or provided under this Plan, including any Severance Payments, are intended
to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A because they are (i) non-taxable benefits, (ii) welfare benefits within
the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(a)(5), (iii) short-term deferrals under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(4), or (iv) payments
under a separation pay plan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(9). For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment
under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, all references in this Plan to the termination of the Participant’s employment
or separation from service (including the date of such termination or separation or Termination Date) are intended to mean the
Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i). All reimbursements
or in-kind benefits to be made under this Plan that constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be made
in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). If, at the time of Participant’s termination
of employment, Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then any payment of
an amount that is deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and payable on account of a separation from service shall
be suspended and not made until the first business day following the end of the six month period following the Participant’s
termination of employment, or if earlier, upon the Participant’s date of death.


 


Section
3.3 Severability. If a provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of this Plan and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had
not been included.

pursuant to any agreement, policy, program, arrangement or requirement of statutory or common law (other than this Plan or cash
payments received in lieu of stock incentives) from the Company.


 


(b)
The Participant shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of his or her Severance Payment by seeking other employment
or otherwise, nor shall the amount of such payment be reduced by any compensation earned by the Participant as a result of employment
after the termination of his or her employment by the Company.

to receive any Base Salary accrued but unpaid as of the Termination Date and any other bonus, incentive or other pay or employee
benefits that are accrued but unpaid as of the Termination Date.

ARTICLE
IX - MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 


 


Section
9.1 Legal Fees and Expenses 


 


(a)
It is the intent of the Company that Participants not be required to incur any expenses associated with the enforcement of rights
under this Plan because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to
Participants hereunder. Accordingly, if the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Plan or in the
event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Plan void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation
designed to deny, or to recover from, a Participant the benefits intended to be provided to the Participant hereunder, the Company
irrevocably authorizes the Participant from time to time to retain counsel of his or her choice, at the expense of the Company,
as hereafter provided, to represent the Participant in connection with the initiation or defense of any legal action, whether
by or against the Company, in any jurisdiction. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid and shall be solely responsible for
any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Participant in enforcing his or her rights hereunder
individually (but not as a representative of any class) as a result of the Company’s failure to perform this Plan or any
provision hereof or as a result of the Company or any person contesting the validity or enforceability of this Plan or any provision
hereof.


 


(b)
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all fees and expenses subject to payment or reimbursement pursuant
to this Section 9.1 shall be paid not later than the last day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the
Participant incurs such fees or expenses. The Participant shall be solely responsible for timely providing to the Company sufficient
proof of the fees and expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to this Section.

9.2 Withholding of Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Plan all foreign, federal, state,
or other taxes as the Company reasonably determines are required pursuant to any law or government regulation or ruling.


 


Section
9.3 Successors.


 


(a)
This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and/or legatees.


 


(b)
The rights under this Plan are personal in nature and neither the Company nor any Participant shall, without the consent of the
other, assign or transfer any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 5.3 and 7.1 hereof. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant’s right to receive a Severance Payment hereunder shall not be
assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by his or
her will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this
Section 9.3(b), the Company, shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.


 


(c)
The Company and each Participant recognize that each party will have no adequate remedy at law for breach by the other of any
of the agreements contained herein and, in the event of any such breach, the Company, and each Participant hereby agree and consent
that the other shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance, mandamus or other appropriate remedy to enforce performance
of this Plan.


 


Section
9.4 Notices. For all purposes of this Plan, all communications, including without limitation notices, consents, requests
or approvals provided for herein, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or five business
days after having been mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company
(to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company), at its principal executive office and to any Participant at his or her
principal residence as shown in the relevant records of the Company, or to such other address as any party may have furnished
