WHEREAS,
the Company and the Executive wish to set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions
under which Executive will be employed by the Company on and after the Effective Date hereof.

as follows:


 


1.
Employment Term. This Agreement shall remain in force and effect for a term commencing on November 12, 2019 (the “Effective

duties and responsibilities attributable to his position. The Executive shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Company, engage in any other business activity during the Employment Period that, in the reasonable

shall become unable to perform, with reasonable accommodation, substantially all of the duties and services required of him under
this Agreement for a period of 180 consecutive business days during any 12-month period (“Disability”), the Company
may terminate the Executive’s employment. For avoidance of doubt, the date on which the notice period expires or, if later,
a final, non-appealable determination is made that the Executive is disabled shall constitute the Date of Termination (as defined
below) for purposes of this Section 4(b) (such date, the “Disability Effective Date”).


 




    	 	3	 



    	 



    

 


(c)
Termination by Employer for Cause. The Company may terminate this agreement for “Cause” or without “Cause”
at any time during the Employment Period. For the purposes of this Agreement, termination for “Cause” shall mean and
be limited to the following conduct of the Executive during the Employment Period:


 


(i)
The willful and continuing breach of any material provision of this Agreement by the Executive (other than as a result of death,
illness or Disability) if not reasonably cured by the Executive within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof;


 


(ii)
The willful engagement in gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Executive (other than as a result of death, illness or
Disability”);


 


(iii)
The engagement in substantiated fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by the Employee against the Company;


 


(iv)
The engagement in any inappropriate or improper conduct by the Employee that causes material harm to the reputation of the Company;
or


 


(iii)
The conviction of the Executive of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Executive to, an act that is defined as
a felony under federal or state law, or the indictment or formal charging of the Executive with acts involving criminal fraud
or embezzlement.


 


For
the purposes of this Section 4(c), no act or failure to act on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful”
unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s
action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to
a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done,
or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.


 


(d)
Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination (as defined
below) to the Executive after the expiration of all opportunities for cure. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice
of Termination” means a written notice that: (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon,
(ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination
of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date. The failure by the Company to set forth in the
Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not constitute a waiver of any right
of the Company hereunder or preclude the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s rights
hereunder.


 




    	 	4	 



    	 



    

 


(e)
Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means, in each case after the expiration of all opportunities for
cure: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination
or any later date specified therein within 30 days of such notice, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment
is terminated by the Executive, the date on which the Executive notifies the Company of such termination, (iii) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, the date on which the Company notifies the
Executive of such termination, and (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the
date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. The Company and the Executive shall use their
best efforts (including with regard to any post-termination services by the Executive) to ensure that any termination described
in this Section 4 constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the date on
which such separation from service takes place shall be the “Date of Termination.” Notwithstanding the above, in no
event shall the Executive be required to forgo any compensation, benefits or other rights to which he is entitled hereunder.








 


5.

the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amount owing to the Executive through the Date of

the Accrued Amount shall be made to the Executive’s estate in a single lump sum within 30 days after the date of the Executive’s

6.
Proprietary Rights.


 


(a)
Confidential Information. The Executive understands that the execution of this Agreement by the Executive and the Company
creates a relationship of trust and confidence between the Executive and the Company. As a result, the Executive agrees that,
during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is three (3) years after the Termination Date,
he will not use or disclose, or knowingly allow anyone else to use or disclose, any Confidential Information (as defined below)
except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. “Confidential Information” shall include, but not be limited to:

strategies, financial position, operations, assets, financial information and data, research and development plans, methods and
data, scientific and technical data, manufacturing and production data, business development, marketing and sales plans and data,
and the identities of, discussions with and the course of dealing with any of the Company’s actual or prospective collaborators,
licensees, sublicensees, acquirors, acquirees, customers, contractors, vendors, suppliers or other third parties, (ii) all Company
information consisting of research and development, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and all other intellectual
property, and any applications therefor, technical information, computer programs, software, methodologies, innovations, software
tools, know-how, knowledge, designs, drawings, specifications, concepts, data, reports, processes, methods, techniques and documentation,
(iii) all Company notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies, interpretations and other documents furnished to or prepared

provided to the Executive prior to, on or after the Effective Date, that the Executive knows or has reason to know the Company
would like to treat as confidential for any purpose, such as maintaining a competitive advantage or avoiding undesirable publicity.
Neither the failure to mark any Confidential Information as confidential or proprietary nor the method by which Confidential Information
is communicated to or received by the Executive (i.e., whether orally, electronically or in writing) shall affect its status as
Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)
Permitted Disclosure. Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available
without a breach of this Agreement by the Executive, (ii) can be shown by documentation to have been known to the Executive at
the time of its receipt from the Company, (iii) is received by the Executive from a third party that did not acquire or disclose
such information by a wrongful or tortious act, or (iv) can be shown by documentation to have been independently developed by
the Executive without reference to any Confidential Information. If the Executive is required to disclose Confidential Information
by law or by an order or notice from a court or regulatory agency, the Executive shall: (A) promptly send a copy of the notice
to the Company, (B) cooperate with the Company if the Company wishes to object or condition such disclosure through a protective
order or otherwise, (C) limit the extent of such disclosure to the minimum required to comply with the notice, and (D) seek confidential
treatment (i.e., filing “under seal”) for that disclosure.


 




    	 	6	 



    	 



    

 


(c)
Non-Solicitation. During the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive will not directly
induce or attempt to induce: (i) any person who at the time of such inducement is an employee, officer or director of the Company,
its affiliates or subsidiaries, to terminate such person’s employment or board membership with the Company, its affiliates
or subsidiaries, or (ii) any strategic partner, collaborator, customer, supplier, vendor, contractor or other party, to terminate
or reduce its relationship with the Company.


 


(d)
Non-Compete. During the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive will not, without
the prior written approval of the Board, whether alone or as a partner, officer, director, consultant, agent, employee or stockholder
of any company or other commercial enterprise, engage in a Competing Business (as defined below) with any person, company or entity
within a five-mile radius of any restaurant locations owned, franchised, licensed or operated by the Company on the applicable
date. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Competing Business” is any business involving: (i) the operation of a
restaurant in any capacity whatsoever, whether individually or in an entity of whatever nature or kind, whose main menu item,
focus and prominent product is substantially similar to the main menu item, focus or prominent product of any restaurants owned,
franchised, licensed or operated by the Company, or (ii) such other activities as the Company may engage in during the Employment
Period.


 


(e)
Return of Property. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all Company Property (as defined below) is the sole and
exclusive property of the Company and shall be considered Confidential Information hereunder. Upon the termination of this Agreement
for any reason whatsoever, the Executive agrees to end all further use and utilization of, and to immediately return to the Company,
without limitation, all Company Property. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Company Property” means all papers,
records, data, notes, drawings, files, documents, samples, devices, products, equipment and other materials, including copies
and in whatever form, and all tangible work product, property, data, documentation, “know-how,”
concepts or plans, inventions, improvements, techniques and processes, relating to the business of the Company that were
conceived, discovered, created, written, revised, developed or obtained by, or that were provided to, the Executive during the
Employment Period.


 


(f)
Enforcement.


 


(i)
Scope. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the type and periods of restrictions imposed in this Section 6 are fair
and reasonable, and that such restrictions are intended solely to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, rather than
to prevent the Executive from earning a livelihood. The Executive recognizes that his access to Confidential Information makes
it necessary for the Company to restrict his post-termination activities in any market in which the Company competes and in which
his access to Confidential Information and other proprietary information could be used to the detriment of the Company. The Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the compensation and benefits to be provided to him under this Agreement are provided, in part, as
consideration for the covenants in this Section 6.


 




    	 	7	 



    	 



    

 


(ii)
Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6 are reasonable
and necessary to protect the Company and its legitimate business interests, and to prevent the unauthorized dissemination of Confidential
Information to competitors of the Company. The Executive also agrees that the Company will be irreparably harmed and that money
damages alone will be inadequate to compensate the Company if the Executive breaches any provision in Section 6 of this Agreement.
Therefore, in the event of any such breach, the Executive agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in
equity, the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief
in any court of competent jurisdiction to have the covenants, restrictions and agreements contained in Section 6 specifically
enforced without the need to post a bond or other security. The provisions of this Section 6(f)(ii) shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.


 


(iii)
Savings Clause. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction, tribunal, arbitrator, governmental agency or other
governmental body determines that any provision contained in this Section 6 is overly broad with respect to scope, time or geographical
coverage, the parties agree that such restriction(s) shall be modified and narrowed, either by the court, tribunal, arbitrator,
governmental agency or other governmental body or the Company, to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable, and
that such determination will not affect the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.


 


7.
Non-Disparagement. During the Employment Period and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive will not knowingly
disparage, criticize or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding the Company or its officers or directors, and the Company
will not knowingly disparage, criticize or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding the Executive. The Company’s
obligations under the preceding sentence shall be limited to statements made by the Company’s executive officers and directors.
Notwithstanding the above, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings
(including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 7.


 


8.
Representations and Warranties of the Executive. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) the Executive has the legal capacity and unrestricted right to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of his
obligations hereunder, and (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive and the performance of his obligations
hereunder will not violate or be in conflict with any fiduciary or other duty, instrument, agreement, document, arrangement or
other understanding to which the Executive is a party or by which he is bound or subject.


 




    	 	8	 



    	 



    

 


9.
Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive for all amounts (including, without limitation,
judgments, fines, settlement payments, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees)) incurred or paid
by the Executive in connection with any actions, suits, proceedings, demands or claims arising out of or relating to the Executive’s
performance of services as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof or in any other capacity,
including any fiduciary capacity, to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s articles of incorporation and
bylaws. Expenses incurred by the Executive in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit, proceeding, demand
or claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding, demand or claim upon
receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The Company’s obligations under this Section 9 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, regardless of the reason for termination, and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s
heirs, executors and administrators. To the extent the Company reduces the indemnity rights provided for under its articles of
incorporation and/or bylaws after the Effective Date, the Company’s indemnity obligations hereunder shall be unaffected
to the extent permitted by applicable law.


 


10.
Arbitration. All disputes arising under this Agreement, other than actions to enforce
the restrictions set forth in Section 6 or as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, shall be subject to final and binding
arbitration between the parties. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to the National Rules for the Resolution
of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect on the date of the first notice of
demand for arbitration. All arbitration proceedings will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator who is independent and disinterested
with respect to the parties, this Agreement and the outcome of the arbitration. The neutral
arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with the AAA’s national rules for the resolution of employment disputes.
The arbitration shall be conducted at a site chosen by the Company that is located within
a 10-mile radius of the Company’s principal executive office in Jacksonville, Florida (or such other location as the Company’s
principal executive office may then be located). The parties hereto shall share equally the costs of the arbitration; provided,
however, that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its share of such costs from the other party.


 


11.
Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that Section 409A of the Code is applicable to this Agreement, the following provisions
shall apply to the terms of this Agreement.


 


(a)
This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other
interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company or the
Executive determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A of the Code
and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company shall work in good faith with the Executive to adopt such amendments
to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including adopting amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive
effect), or take any other actions that the Company and the Executive determine are necessary or appropriate to maintain to the
maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision while avoiding the imposition of taxes under Section
409A of the Code, including without limitation, actions intended to: (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this
Agreement from Section 409A of the Code, and/or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department
of Treasury guidance. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the Executive be required to forgo any compensation, benefits
or other rights to which he is entitled hereunder.


 




    	 	9	 



    	 



    

 


(b)
Any right to a series of installment payments pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
To the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any separate payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise shall
not be deemed “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent provided in the
exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision
of Section 409A of the Code.


 


(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any taxable
year of the Executive shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any other taxable year of the
Executive, (ii) any expense reimbursement made under this Agreement shall be made promptly, but in no event later than the last
day of the Executive’s taxable year immediately following the taxable year during which the expense was incurred, and (iii)
the Executive’s right to expense reimbursement under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit. For purposes of this Agreement, in-kind benefits and perquisites shall be treated in the same manner as expenses
eligible for reimbursement.


 


(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits shall be paid to the Executive during
the six-month period following the Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i)
of the Code) if: (i) the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)), and
(ii) the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution
under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence,
then on the first business day following the end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be
paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Executive’s
death), the Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable
to the Executive during such period.


 


12.
Miscellaneous.


 


(a)
Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereto, and no party shall be
liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, guarantees or covenants except as specifically

or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of any such extension or waiver is sought. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder
shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement. No waiver by either party hereto of any breach or default of any of the covenants or agreements herein set forth

EXHIBIT
A


 


FORM
OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT


 


This
Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into this 12th day of November, 2019 (the
“Grant Date”), by and between ARC Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Joseph J. Dominiak
(the “Executive”).


 


WHEREAS,
the Company and the Executive entered into an employment agreement on or about the date hereof pursuant to which the Executive
was appointed as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (the “Employment Agreement”); and


 


WHEREAS,
the Company and the Executive wish to enter into this Agreement as an incentive for the Executive to enter into the Employment
Agreement with the Company.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the agreement set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:


 


1.
Grant of Restricted Shares. The Company hereby grants to the Executive 100,000 shares (the “Restricted Shares”)
of common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein.


 


2.
Vesting of Restricted Shares. The Restricted Shares shall vest (“Vested Shares”) in accordance with the following
schedule:


 


	 	(i)	33,333
    shares on November 12, 2020;
	 	 	 
	 	(ii)	33,333
    shares on November 12, 2021; and
	 	 	 
	 	(iii)	33,334
    shares on November 12, 2022.


 


3.
Escrow of Restricted Shares.


 


(a)
Deposit. A certificate representing the Restricted Shares shall be issued in the name of the Executive upon the execution
of this Agreement by the Company and the Executive and shall be escrowed with the Secretary of the Company subject to removal
of the restrictions placed thereon or forfeiture pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each deposited certificate shall be
accompanied by a duly executed Stock Power (endorsed in blank) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The deposited
certificates, together with any other assets or securities that may be deposited from time to time with the Company pursuant to
this Agreement, shall remain in escrow until such time or times as the certificates (or other assets or securities) are to be
released or otherwise surrendered for cancellation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon delivery of the certificates
to the Company, the Executive shall be issued an instrument of deposit acknowledging the number of Restricted Shares delivered
in escrow to the Secretary of the Company.


 




    	 	 	 



    	 



    

 


(b)
Release or Surrender. The Restricted Shares, together with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions relating to their release from escrow or their surrender to the Company for repurchase
and/or cancellation:


 


(i)
Upon any Restricted Shares becoming Vested Shares, all restrictions shall be removed from the certificates representing such Restricted
Shares and the Secretary of the Company shall deliver to the Executive certificates representing such Vested Shares free and clear
of all restrictions (except for any applicable securities law restrictions) within 10 business days following the date such Restricted
Shares became Vested Shares.


 


(ii)
Upon the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company pursuant to Section 6, any Restricted Shares that are Vested
Shares on the date of termination, and any Restricted Shares that become Vested Shares as a result of such termination, shall
be released from escrow and delivered to the Executive within 10 business days following the date such Restricted Shares became
Vested Shares. All Restricted Shares that have not become Vested Shares shall be forfeited by the Executive in the manner set
forth in Section 3(b)(iii).


 


(iii)
Should the Executive forfeit any Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 6, then the escrowed certificates for such forfeited Restricted
Shares shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation concurrently with such forfeiture. Upon such forfeiture, the Executive
shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to such forfeited Restricted Shares. To facilitate the performance
or observance by the Executive of this Section 3(b)(iii), the Executive hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled
with an interest) the Secretary of the Company as the attorney-in-fact of the Executive to transfer any Restricted Shares so forfeited
to the Company, and the Executive agrees that the transfer of stock certificates with respect to such forfeited Restricted Shares
shall be specifically performable by the Company in a court of equity or law.


 


4.
Stockholder Rights. Unless and until such time as the Restricted Shares are forfeited by the Executive pursuant to Section
3, the Executive shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including voting and dividend rights, with respect to the Restricted
Shares, including the Restricted Shares held in escrow under Section 3, subject, however, to the transfer restrictions set forth
in Section 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash dividends declared and paid by the Company with respect to the Restricted
Shares shall be paid directly to the Executive and shall not be held in escrow or subject to forfeiture hereunder.


 


5.
Restrictions on Transfer.


 


(a)
The Restricted Shares may not be resold, pledged as security or otherwise transferred, assigned or encumbered by the Executive
prior to the date such Restricted Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture, unless specifically agreed to in writing by the
Company.


 


(b)
The Executive hereby agrees that the Executive shall make no disposition of the Restricted Shares unless and until:


 




    	 	2	 



    	 



    

 


(i)
The forfeiture restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares have lapsed;


 


(ii)
The Executive shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, unless there is then in effect a registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) covering such proposed disposition and such disposition
is made in accordance with such registration statement; and


 


(ii)
The Executive shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Restricted Shares
(including the requirements of any applicable securities laws).


 


(c)
The Company shall not be required to (i) transfer on its books any Restricted Shares that have been sold or transferred in violation
of the provisions of this Section 5, or (ii) treat as the owner of the Restricted Shares, or otherwise accord voting or dividend
rights to, any transferee to whom the Restricted Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement. References herein
to the Executive shall include, where applicable, a permitted transferee.


 


6.
Termination of Employment.


 


(a)
Forfeiture by Death or Disability, for “Cause,” or by Voluntary Termination. If the Executive’s employment
by the Company terminates by reason of death or Disability as such term is defined in Section 4(b) of the Employment Agreement,
or if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for “Cause” as such term is defined in Section 4(c)
of the Employment Agreement, or if the Executive terminates his own employment with the Company, all Restricted Shares that have
not become Vested Shares shall be forfeited to the Company. The Company’s board of directors shall have sole authority and
discretion to determine whether the Executive’s employment or services has been terminated by reason of Disability or for
“Cause.” 


 


(b)
Termination Without Cause. If the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company without “Cause”
as such term is defined in Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement, then all Restricted Shares that would have vested within
the following 12 months had the Executive continued to be employed by the Company during such period shall immediately become
Vested Shares. 


 


7.
Adjustments for Changes in Common Stock and Certain Other Events.


 


(a)
Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination
of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders
of shares of Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, the number and class of securities available under this Agreement
shall be adjusted appropriately by the Company to the extent the Company’s board of directors shall determine, in good faith,
that such an adjustment or substitution is necessary or appropriate. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective
at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend,
or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. If this Section 7(a) applies to an event and Section
7(c) also applies to the event, Section 7(c) shall be applicable to the event, and this Section 7(a) shall not be applicable to
the event.


 




    	 	3	 



    	 



    

 


(b)
Liquidation or Dissolution. In the event the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution
of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets,
the Company’s board of directors shall provide that all restrictions and conditions contained herein that are then outstanding
shall automatically be deemed terminated or satisfied immediately prior to the consummation of such liquidation or dissolution.


 


(c)
Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event (as defined below) that
is not a Change in Control Event (as defined below), this Agreement shall be assumed by the acquiring or succeeding entity (or
an affiliate thereof) and shall apply to the cash, securities or other property that the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged
for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Common Stock subject
to this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (regardless of whether such event also constitutes a Reorganization
Event), all restrictions and conditions on any Restricted Shares then outstanding shall automatically be deemed terminated or
satisfied in full, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control Event. For the purposes of this
Section 7, “Reorganization Event” and “Change in Control Event” shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan adopted by the Company’s board of directors on June 16, 2014.


 


8.
Investment Representation. The Executive hereby acknowledges that the Restricted Shares are being acquired for the Executive’s
own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or with any present intention of, distributing or reselling any
of such Restricted Shares. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act or under any state securities laws, and that the Restricted Shares may not be, directly or indirectly, sold, transferred,
offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act and registration
or qualification under applicable state securities laws, except pursuant to an available exemption from such registration or qualification.
The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any securities
commission or other governmental authority has: (i) approved the transfer of the Restricted Shares or passed upon or endorsed
the merits of the transfer of the Restricted Shares; or (ii) confirmed the accuracy of, determined the adequacy of, or reviewed
this Agreement. The Executive has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial, tax and business matters in general,
and investments in securities in particular, that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Restricted
Shares, and the Executive has made such investigations in connection herewith as it deemed necessary or desirable so as to make
an informed investment decision without relying upon the Company for legal or tax advice related to this investment.


 




    	 	4	 



    	 



    

 


9.
Restrictive Legend. The certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares to be issued under this Agreement shall have endorsed
thereon (except to the extent that the restrictions described in any such legend are no longer applicable) the following legend,
appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock transfer books, and stop transfer instructions reflecting
these restrictions on transfer will be placed with the transfer agent of the Restricted Shares.


 


THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. NO TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE MADE IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION
OR QUALIFICATION UNLESS THERE SHALL HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO THE ISSUER A WRITTEN OPINION OF UNITED STATES COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED
STANDING, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION
OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.


 


THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND TRANSFERABLE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT CERTAIN RESTRICTED STOCK
AWARD AGREEMENT DATED NOVEMBER 6, 2019, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE EXECUTIVE, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE
OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER OR PLEDGE OF THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF SAID AGREEMENT. BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, ANY HOLDER, TRANSFEREE OR PLEDGEE HEREOF AGREES TO BE BOUND BY
ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT.


 


10.
Section 83(b) Election. The Executive understands that under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), the difference between the purchase price, if any, paid for the Restricted Shares and their fair market
value on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income
at that time. The Executive understands that the Executive may elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Shares are acquired
hereunder to the extent the fair market value of the Restricted Shares differs from the purchase price, if any, rather than when
and as such Restricted Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of
the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after the Gant Date. If the fair market value of the Restricted Shares
at the Grant Date equals the purchase price paid (and thus no tax is payable), the election should be made to avoid adverse tax
consequences in the future. Executive understands that failure to make this filing within the 30-day period will result in the
recognition of ordinary income by Executive as the forfeiture restrictions lapse. THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE EXECUTIVE’S
SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF THE EXECUTIVE
REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE EXECUTIVE’S BEHALF. THE EXECUTIVE IS RELYING SOLELY
ON THE EXECUTIVE’S ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.


 




    	 	5	 



    	 



    

 


11.
Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that the Restricted Shares have been duly authorized and, when
issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares
of Common Stock with no personal liability resulting solely from the ownership of such shares and will be free and clear of all
liens, charges, restrictions, claims and encumbrances imposed by or through the Company.


 


12.

Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by an instrument or instruments
in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, modification or supplement is sought. The parties
hereto entitled to the benefits of a term or provision may waive compliance with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition
contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument or
instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No failure or delay on the part
of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence
in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.


 


14.
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns; provided, however, that no party hereto may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under

upon any person not a party hereto (and their successors and assigns) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or
by reason of this Agreement.


 


15.
Headings; Definitions. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only
and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references to sections contained herein mean sections

invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be reformed
to render this Agreement valid and enforceable while reflecting to the greatest extent permissible the intent of the parties.

regard to the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
