in this document. The Plan permits the grant of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Restricted Stock, Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Cash-Based Awards and Substitute

in accordance with applicable provisions of Delaware law and the Exchange Act (the “Effective Date”), and shall remain
in effect as provided in Section 1.3 hereof. 


   


 1.2       Objectives
of the Plan. The objectives of the Plan are to optimize the profitability and growth of the Company through annual and long-term
incentives that are consistent with the Company’s goals and that link the personal interests of Participants to those of
the Company’s stockholders, to provide Participants with an incentive for excellence in individual performance, and to promote
teamwork among Participants. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company and its Affiliates in their ability
to motivate, attract, and retain the services of Participants who make significant contributions to the Company’s success
and to allow Participants to share in that success. 


   


 1.3       Duration
of the Plan. The Plan shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Committee
to amend or terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to Article 15 hereof, until all Shares subject to it shall have been purchased
or acquired according to the Plan’s provisions. However, in no event may an Award be granted under the Plan on or after
the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. 


   


 1.4       Prior
Awards. As of the Effective Date no further Awards shall be made under the terms of the Company’s 2012 Equity Plan,

 Article 4. Shares Subject to
the Plan and Maximum Awards and Substituted Awards 


   


 4.1       Number
of Shares Available for Grants; Share Counting and Reacquired Shares. The number of Shares reserved for issuance to Participants
shall be 35 million (35,000,000). Shares issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The number
of Shares reserved for issuance to Participants under the Plan is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof. 


   


 For purposes of counting the
number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan, the full number of shares of the Company’s common stock covered by
Freestanding SARs shall be counted against the number of Shares available for Awards (i.e., not the net Shares issued in satisfaction
of a Freestanding SAR Award); provided, however, that Freestanding SARs that may be settled in cash only shall not be so counted.
Additionally, if an Option may be settled by issuing net Shares (i.e., withholding a number of Shares equal to the exercise price),
the full number of shares of the Company’s common stock covered by the Option shall be counted against the number of Shares
available for Awards, not the net Shares issued in satisfaction of an Option. If any Award (a) expires or is terminated, surrendered
or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part, or (b) results in any Shares not being issued
(including as a result of any Award that was permitted to be settled either in cash or in stock actually being settled in cash),
the unissued Shares covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards; provided, however, in the case of
Incentive Stock Options, the foregoing shall be subject to any limitations under the Code. The following Shares shall not be added
back to the number of Shares available for the future grant of Awards: (i) shares of the Company’s common stock tendered
to the Company by a Participant to (A) purchase shares of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of an Award, or (B)
satisfy tax withholding obligations (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation); (ii) shares of the
Company’s common stock that were subject to a stock-settled SAR granted under the Plan that were not issued upon the exercise
of such SAR, and (iii) shares of the Company’s common stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds
from the exercise of an Award. Subject to the foregoing, the Committee shall determine the appropriate methodology for calculating
the number of Shares issued pursuant to the Plan. 


   


 The maximum number of Shares
which may be issued under Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan is 35 million (35,000,000). 


   


 4.2       Adjustments
in Authorized Shares. In the event of material changes in the outstanding number of Shares or in the capital structure of
the Company by reason of a stock split, stock or extraordinary dividend, a reverse stock split, or an extraordinary corporate
transaction, such as any recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or the like, separation, including
a spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization
comes within the definition of such term in Code Section 368) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the Committee
shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under Section 4.1, and in the number,
class of and/or price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan, as may be determined to be equitable by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. 


   


 4.3       Adjustment
of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and
conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation,
the events described in Section 4.2 hereof) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate
in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

 4.4       Limit
on Compensation Paid to Directors. The total compensation paid to a single Director in any calendar year, including the cash
compensation and the cash value of all equity Awards granted to the Director in such calendar year, shall not exceed $750,000.
Such annual limit shall be measured based on the value of an Award as of the date the Award is granted (not the date of payment).
Accordingly, the annual limit shall not include the value of an Award in the calendar year when it is paid or vests if such year
is different from the year the Award is granted. For purposes of this Section 4.4, Director compensation in any calendar year
shall include amounts or grants that would have been paid or made, as applicable, to the Director in the calendar year absent
the Director’s election to defer such compensation to a subsequent year. 


   


 4.5       Substitute
Awards. 


   


 (a)       Notwithstanding
any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, Substitute Awards may have substantially the same terms and conditions, including
without limitation provisions relating to vesting, exercise periods, expiration, payment, forfeiture, and the consequences of
termination of service, as the awards that they replace, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 


   


 (b)       The
recipient or holder of a Substitute Award shall be an eligible Participant hereunder even if not an Employee, Director or Consultant
with respect to the Company or an Affiliate. 


   


 (c)       In
the case of a Substitute Award, the date of grant may be treated as the effective date of the grant of such Award under the original
plan under which the award was authorized. 


   


 (d)       The
per share exercise price of an Option that is a Substitute Award may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on
the date of grant, provided that such substitution or adjustment complies with applicable laws and regulations, including the
listing requirements of the OTCQB Venture Market or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock
may then be listed or quoted and Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code, as applicable. The per share exercise price of a Freestanding
SAR that is a Substitute Award may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, provided that such
substitution or adjustment complies with applicable laws and regulations, including the listing requirements of the OTCQB Venture
Market or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock may then be listed or quoted and Section
409A, as applicable. 


   


 (e)       Anything
to the contrary in this Plan notwithstanding, any Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the limits
set forth in Section 4.1. Anything to the contrary in this Plan notwithstanding, any Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall
not be counted against the number of Shares authorized for issuance or the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under
Incentive Stock Options, and the lapse, expiration, termination, forfeiture or cancellation of any Substitute Award without the
issuance of Shares or payment of cash thereunder shall not result in an increase the number of Shares available for issuance under
the Plan.

Participation

 5.2       Actual

Directors and Consultants, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. 


   


 5.3       Newly
Eligible Participants. The Committee shall be entitled to make such rules, regulations, determinations and awards as it deems
appropriate in respect of any Participant who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the commencement of an award or
incentive period. 


   


 5.4       Leaves
of Absence. The Committee shall be entitled to make such rules, regulations, and determinations as it deems appropriate under
the Plan in respect of any leave of absence taken by the recipient of any award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Committee shall be entitled to determine: (a) whether or not any such leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment
within the meaning of the Plan; and (b) the impact, if any, of such leave of absence on awards under the Plan theretofore made
to any recipient who takes such leave of absence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Section 409A Award, all leaves
of absences and determinations of terminations of employment must be construed and interpreted consistent with the requirements
of Section 409A and the definition of “separation from service” thereunder. 


   


 Article 6. Stock Options 


   


 6.1       Grant
of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants in such number, and upon
such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incentive
Stock Options may only be granted to Employees of Humanigen, Inc. or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries; provided that the Affiliate
or Subsidiary is a type of entity whose employees can receive such options under Code Sections 422 and 424. 


   


 6.2       Award
Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of
the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine which
are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. 


   


 6.3       Option
Price. The Option Price for each grant of an Option under this Plan shall be as determined by the Committee; provided, however,
the per-share exercise price shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option
is granted. With respect to a Participant who owns, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of the stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option Price of Shares subject to an ISO shall be at least 110%
of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the ISO’s grant date. 


   


 6.4       Duration
of Options. Each Option granted to a Participant shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of
grant; provided that the Option must expire on or before the date that is the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to ISOs, in the case of a Participant who owns, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, no such ISO shall be exercisable later than
the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

 Unless otherwise determined by
the Committee, all payments under all of the methods indicated above shall be paid in United States dollars.

to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and
any Affiliates) exceeds $100,000 (or such other limit established in the Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing
ISOs, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise

12
	 



    	 



    

   


 9.3       Value
of Performance Units/Shares and Cash-Based Awards. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by
the Committee at the time of grant. Each Restricted Stock Unit and Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the

The Committee shall set performance goals and/or service requirements in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which
they are met, will determine the number and/or value of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based
Awards that will be paid out to the Participant. Generally, a Participant’s right to receive amounts under a Restricted
Stock Unit award shall be based on the Participant’s satisfaction of a service requirement and such other terms and conditions
that the Committee may specify. Generally, a Participant’s right to receive amounts under a Performance Unit, Performance
Share or Cash-Based Award shall be based on the satisfaction of a performance requirement and such other terms and conditions
that the Committee may specify. The Committee has full discretionary authority to establish performance goals and/or service requirements,
and a performance goal may include a service requirement. For purposes of this Article 9, the time period during which the performance

Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash-Based Awards earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be
determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals and/or service requirements have been achieved.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, payment of Cash-Based Awards shall
only be made for those Participants who are Directors or in the employ of the Company at the end of the Performance Period or,
if none has been specified, the end of the applicable award year. 


   


 9.5       Form
and Timing of Payment of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards. Payment of earned
Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards shall be as determined by the Committee and,
if applicable, as evidenced in the related Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
may pay earned Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards in the form of cash or in Shares
(or in a combination thereof) that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period. Such Shares may
be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. No fractional shares will be issued. The determination
of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the
grant of the Award. 


   


 Unless otherwise provided by
the Committee, Participants holding Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, or Performance Shares may be entitled to receive
dividends or dividend units with respect to dividends declared on Shares underlying such Awards. No dividends or dividend units
with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, or Performance Shares shall not be paid to the Participant until

or such Participant’s legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement,

 Article 10. Beneficiary Designation 


   


 The Committee may permit Participants
under the Plan to name, from time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to
whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit.
Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company,
and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.
If a beneficiary designation has not been made, or the beneficiary was not properly designated (in the sole discretion of the
Committee), has died or cannot be found, all payments after death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. In case of
disputes over the proper beneficiary, the Company reserves the right to make any or all payments to the Participant’s estate. 


   


 Article 11. Deferrals 


   


 Subject to the requirements of
Section 409A, the Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer such Participant’s receipt of the payment of cash
or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the lapse or waiver of restrictions with
respect to Restricted Stock, payment of a Stock Award or the satisfaction of any requirements or goals with respect to Restricted
Stock Units, Performance Units/Shares and Cash-Based Awards. If any such deferral election is required or permitted, the Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals provided that such rules must comply
with the requirements of Section 409A. 


   


 Article 12. Rights of Participants 


   


 12.1       Employment.
Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the Company’s employ, or as a Director, or
as a Consultant, or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment
or directorship at any time. 


   


 12.2       Participation.
No Employee, Director or Consultant shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so
selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. 


   


 12.3       Rights
as a Stockholder. Except as provided in Sections 8.5, 8.6 and 9.5, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder
with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such shares. 


   


 Article 13. Termination of
Employment/Directorship/Consulting Relationship 


   


 Each Participant’s Award
Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to such Participant’s outstanding Award(s)
following termination of the Participant’s employment or directorship or consulting services with the Company. Such provisions
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreements entered into with each
Participant, need not be uniform among all Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons
for termination.

 Article 14. Change in Control 


   


 14.1       Treatment
of Outstanding Awards Other than Cash-Based Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited
under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges,
the treatment of non-Cash-Based Awards shall be as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Subject to such applicable laws,
rules and regulations, and unless the Committee specifies otherwise in the Award Agreement: 


    


 (a)       Non-Cash-Based
Awards will fully vest if: (i) the Awards are not continued or assumed (e.g., the Awards are not equitably converted or substituted
for awards of a successor entity) in connection with the Change in Control; or (ii) the Participant has a qualifying termination
of his or her service relationship (as defined in the Award Agreement) within two years following the date of the Change in Control.
In the event that non-Cash-Based Awards to Participant are not so continued or assumed in connection with the Change in Control
or in the event of a qualifying termination of his or her service relationship (as defined in the Award Agreement) within two
years following the date of the Change in Control, then upon such Change in Control or such qualifying termination (as the case
may be): 


   


 (i)       Any
and all Options and SARs granted hereunder shall become fully exercisable during their remaining term; and 


   


 (ii)       Any
restriction periods and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock that are not performance-based shall lapse; and 


   


 (iii)       The
target payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding Awards of performance-based Restricted Stock, Performance Units and
Performance Shares shall be deemed to have been fully earned for the entire Performance Period (s) as of the effective date of
the Change in Control or such qualifying termination. The vesting of all such Awards denominated in Shares shall be accelerated
as of the effective date of the Change in Control or such qualifying termination and shall be paid out to the Participants within
thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Change in Control or such qualifying termination based upon an assumed achievement
of all relevant target performance goals (such payment shall be in full satisfaction of the Award). Such Awards denominated in
cash shall be paid to the Participants in cash within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Change in Control or
such qualifying termination based on an assumed achievement of all relevant target performance goals (such payment shall be in
full satisfaction of the Award). Restricted Stock Units shall be fully vested as of the effective date of the Change in Control
or such qualifying termination, and the full value of such an Award shall be paid out to the Participants within thirty (30) days
following the effective date of the Change in Control or such qualifying termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that the Award is not so continued or assumed in connection with a Change in Control, the payment of a Section 409A Award will
only be accelerated if the Change in Control also constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change
in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A and will not result
in additional taxes under Section 409A. 


   


 14.2       Treatment
of Cash-Based Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws,
or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, the treatment of Cash-Based
Awards shall be as specified in the applicable Award Agreement or resolutions adopted by the Committee. Subject to such applicable
laws, rules and regulations, unless the Committee shall provide otherwise in the Award Agreement or resolutions adopted by the
Committee: 


   



    	 	
15
	 



    	 



    

   


 (a)       Cash-Based
Awards will fully vest if: (i) the Awards are not continued or assumed (e.g., the Awards are not equitably converted or substituted
for awards of a successor entity) in connection with the Change in Control; or (ii) the Participant has a qualifying termination
of his or her service relationship (as defined in the Award Agreement) within two years following the date of the Change in Control.
In the event that the Cash-Based Awards granted to Participants are not so continued or assumed or in the event of a qualifying
termination of the service relationship (as defined in the Award Agreement) within two years following the date of the Change
in Control, the vesting of all outstanding Cash-Based Awards shall be accelerated as of the date of such event (and, in the case
of performance-based Cash-Based Awards, based on an assumed achievement of all relevant target performance goals), and all Cash-Based
Awards shall be paid to Participants in cash within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such event (such payment
shall be in full satisfaction of the Award). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Cash-Based Awards is not so
continued or assumed in connection with a Change in Control, the payment of a Cash-Based Section 409A Award will only be accelerated
if the Change in Control also constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership
of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A and will not result in additional taxes
under Section 409A. 


   


 14.3       Code
Section 280G. The acceleration or payment of Awards could, in certain circumstances, subject the Participant to the excise
tax provided under Section 4999 of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement
or agreement to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its Affiliates to
a Participant pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments (“Parachute
Payments”) within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, as amended (the “Code”) and would, but for this Section
14.3 be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax
imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”),
then prior to making the Covered Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) to the
Participant of the Covered Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Participant if the Covered
Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i)
above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the Covered Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure
that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (that amount, the “Reduced Amount”). “Net
Benefit” shall mean the present value of the Covered Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment
and excise taxes. 


   


 In the event the Participant
is party to an employment agreement or severance plan that specifies which Covered Payments shall be reduced to result in the
Reduced Amount as provided in the previous paragraph, the terms of such agreement or plan shall apply. If not, the Covered Payments
shall be reduced in a manner that maximizes the Participant’s economic position. In applying this principle, the reduction
shall be made in a manner that will not trigger taxes under Section 409A of the Code, and where two economically equivalent amounts
are subject to reduction but payable at different times, the amount payable at the later time shall be reduced first. 


   


 The application of the rules
in Section 14.3 shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion and any such determination shall be conclusive and binding
on the Participant. 


   


 14.4       Expenses.
The Company shall pay all legal fees, court costs, fees of experts and other costs and expenses when incurred by a Participant
in connection with any actual, threatened or contemplated litigation or legal, administrative or other proceeding involving the
provisions of Section 14.3, whether or not initiated by the Participant. 


   



    	 	
16
	 



    	 



    

   


 The reimbursements of such expenses
and costs shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A, which generally require (i) that the amount of expenses and costs
eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses and costs eligible for reimbursement in any other
taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense or cost is made on or before the last day of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the expense or cost was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation
or exchange for another benefit. 


   


 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Participant shall be solely responsible for any amounts the Participant owes under Code Sections 4999 or 409A, and the Company
and the Committee shall have no liability for such amounts. 


   


 14.5       Cancellation
of Underwater Options or SARs. In the event of a Change in Control, in the case of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right
with an exercise price that equals or exceeds the price paid for a Share in connection with the Change in Control, the Committee
may cancel the Option or Stock Appreciation Right without the payment of consideration therefor. 


   


 14.6       Termination,
Amendment, and Modifications of Change-in-Control Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award
Agreement provision, the provisions of this Article 14 may not be terminated, amended, or modified on or after the date of a Change
in Control to affect adversely any Award theretofore granted under the Plan and any rights or benefits provided to a Participant
pursuant to this Article 14 without the prior written consent of the Participant with respect to said Participant’s outstanding
Awards; provided, however, the Committee may terminate, amend, or modify this Article 14 at any time and from time to time prior
to the date of a Change in Control. 


   


 Article 15. Amendment, Modification,
Termination and Tax Compliance. 


   


 15.1       Amendment,
Modification, and Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee or the Board may at any time and from time
to time, alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. 


   


 15.2       Awards
Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no termination, amendment, or modification
of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent
of the Participant holding such Award; provided that no consent is required for any amendment the Committee deems necessary or
appropriate to comply with applicable legal or tax requirements. 


   


 15.3       Shareholder
Approval Required for Certain Amendments. Shareholder approval will be required for any amendment of the Plan that does any
of the following: (a) permits the grant of any Option with an Option Price less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the
date of grant; (b) reduces the Option Price of an outstanding Option by lowering the Option Price, by canceling an outstanding

 15.4       Compliance
with Section 409A. It is intended that Awards under this Plan are either exempt from Section 409A or are structured to comply
with the requirements of Section 409A. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent. By way of
example, the following rules shall apply: 


   


		 · 	 Any
                                         provision of the Plan that would conflict with the requirements of a Section 409A Award
                                         shall not apply to a Section 409A Award. 



   


		 · 	 Any
                                         adjustment or modification to an Award shall be made in compliance with Section 409A
                                         (e.g., any adjustment to an Option or SAR under Section 4.2 shall be made in accordance
                                         with the requirements of Section 409A). 



   


		 · 	 For
                                         Section 409A Awards, all rights to amend, terminate or modify the Plan or any Award are
                                         subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A. 



   


		 · 	 For
                                         Section 409A Awards, any payment or distribution that is triggered upon termination or
                                         cessation of employment or a comparable event shall be interpreted consistent with the
                                         definition of “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
                                         Section 1.409A-1(h). 



   


		 · 	 With
                                         respect to amounts payable under a Section 409A Award, in the event that a Participant
                                         is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, any amount that is
                                         payable in connection with the Participant’s separation from service shall not
                                         be paid prior to the date which is six months after the date the Participant separates
                                         from service (or, if earlier, the date the Participant dies). A Participant who is subject
                                         to the restriction described in the previous sentence shall be paid on the first day
                                         of the seventh month after the Participant’s separation from service an amount
                                         equal to the benefit that the Participant would have received during such six month period
                                         absent the restriction. 



   


 While the Company intends for
Awards to either be exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A, neither the Company nor the Committee shall be liable to any
person for the tax consequences of any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A or any other tax consequences relating
to Awards under this Plan. 


   


 Article 16. Withholding 


   


 The Company shall have the power
and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal,
state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising
as a result of this Plan; provided that the amount that is withheld, or may be withheld at the Participant’s discretion,
cannot exceed the amount of the taxes owed by the Participant using the maximum statutory tax rate in the Participant’s
applicable jurisdiction(s). The Participant may satisfy, totally or in part, his obligations pursuant to this Article by electing
to have Shares withheld, to redeliver Shares acquired under an Award, or to deliver previously owned Shares, provided that the
election is made in writing on or prior to (i) the date of exercise, in the case of Options and SARs (ii) the date of payment,
in respect of Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares, or Cash-Based Awards, and (iii) the
expiration of the Period of Restriction, in respect of Restricted Stock. Any election made under this Article shall be irrevocable
by the Participant and may be disapproved by the Committee at any time in its sole discretion. If an election is disapproved by
the Committee, the Participant must satisfy his obligations pursuant to this paragraph in cash. 


   


 Article 17. Successors 


   


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

 Article 18. General Provisions 


   


 18.1       Gender
and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine;
the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 


   


 18.2       Severability.
If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included. 


   


 18.3       Requirements
of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 


   


 18.4       Recoupment.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, the Company may cancel any Award, require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant,
and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with any Company
policies that may be adopted and/or modified from time to time (“Recoupment Policy”). In addition, a Participant may
be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan or an Award Agreement,
in accordance with the Recoupment Policy. By accepting an Award, the Participant is agreeing to be bound by the Recoupment Policy,
as in effect or as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including, without limitation,
to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements). 


   


 18.5       Securities
Law Compliance. With respect to Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions
of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act, unless determined otherwise by the Board. To the extent any provision
of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and
deemed advisable by the Board. 


   


 18.6       Listing.
The Company may use reasonable endeavors to register Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of an Option with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification, and listing requirements of any
national securities laws, stock exchange, or automated quotation system. 


   


 18.7       Inability
to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained. 


   


 18.8       No
Additional Rights. Neither the Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute part of an employment contract
between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and accordingly, subject to Section 15.2, this Plan and
the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise
to liability on the part of the Company or any Affiliate for severance payments.

 18.9       Employees
Based Outside of the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to comply with provisions of
laws in other countries in which the Company, its Affiliates, and its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees, the Committee, in
its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: 


   


 (a)       Determine
which Affiliates and Subsidiaries will be covered by the Plan or relevant subplans;

the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Participants who are employed outside the United States; 


   


 (d)       Establish
subplans, modified exercise procedures, and other terms and procedures to the extent such actions may be necessary, advisable
or convenient, or to the extent appropriate to provide maximum flexibility for the Participant’s financial planning. Any
subplans and modifications to the Plan terms or procedures established under this Section 18.9 by the Committee shall be filed
with the Plan document as Appendices; and 


   


 (e)       Take
any action, before or after an Award is made, which the Committee deems advisable to obtain, comply with, or otherwise reflect
any necessary governmental regulatory procedures, exemptions or approvals, as they may affect this Plan, any subplan, or any Participant. 


   


 18.10       Uncertificated
Shares. To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer
of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any
stock exchange. 


   


 18.11       Governing
Law. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or
choice of law, rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law
of another jurisdiction.
