SECTION
1. PURPOSE


 


The
purpose of The Singing Machine Company, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors,
consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its Related Companies by providing them the opportunity
to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to align their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company’s
stockholders.

Certain
capitalized terms used in the Plan have the meanings set forth in Appendix A.


 


SECTION
3. ADMINISTRATION


 


	3.1	Administration
                                            of the Plan



 


(a) The
Plan shall be administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee, which shall be composed of two or more directors.


 


(b) The
members of the Compensation Committee shall meet the independence requirements of the applicable stock exchange upon which the Common
Stock is listed. If any member of the Compensation Committee does not qualify as a “non-employee director” for purposes of
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, then Awards under the Plan for the executive officers of the Company and Nonemployee Directors
shall be administered by a subcommittee consisting of each Compensation Committee member who qualifies as a “non-employee director.”
If fewer than two Compensation Committee members qualify as “non-employee directors,” then the Board shall appoint one or
more other Board members to such subcommittee who do qualify as “non-employee directors,” so that the subcommittee will at
all times consist of two or more members all of whom qualify as “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and to the extent consistent with applicable law, the Board or Compensation Committee may also delegate concurrent responsibility
for administering the Plan, including with respect to designated classes of Eligible Persons, to other committees consisting of one or
more members of the Board, subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate, except with respect to grants of Awards to Participants
who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Members of any such committee shall serve for such term as the Board may determine,
subject to removal by the Board at any time. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Board or the Compensation Committee may
authorize one or more officers of the Company to grant Awards to designated classes of Eligible Persons, within limits specifically prescribed
by the Board or the Compensation Committee; provided, however, that no such officer shall have or obtain authority to grant Awards to
himself or herself or to any person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. All references in the Plan to the “Committee”
shall be to the Board.


 




    	 



     


    

 


	3.2	Administration
                                            and Interpretation by Committee



 


(a) Except
for the terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the Plan, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee shall have
full power and exclusive authority, subject to such orders or resolutions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as may from
time to time be adopted by the Board to (i) select the Eligible Persons to whom Awards may from time to time be granted under the Plan;
(ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant under the Plan; (iii) determine the number of shares of
Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted under the Plan; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted under the
Plan; (v) approve the forms of notice or agreement for use under the Plan; (vi) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances
Awards may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property or canceled or suspended; (vii) interpret and administer the
Plan and any instrument evidencing an Award, notice or agreement executed or entered into under the Plan; (viii) establish such rules
and regulations as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; (ix) delegate ministerial duties to such of the
Company’s employees as it so determines; and (x) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems
necessary or desirable for administration of the Plan.


 


(b) The
Committee shall have the right, without stockholder approval, to (i) lower the exercise or grant price of an Option or SAR after it is
granted; (ii) cancel an Option or SAR at a time when its exercise or grant price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying stock,
in exchange for cash, another option or stock appreciation right, restricted stock, or other equity award; or (iii) take any other action
that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.


 


(c) The
effect on the vesting of an Award of a Company-approved leave of absence or a Participant’s reduction in hours of employment or
service or working less than full-time shall be determined by the Company’s chief human resources officer or other person performing
that function or, with respect to directors or executive officers, by the Compensation Committee, whose determination shall be final.


 


(d) Decisions
of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, any Participant, any stockholder and any
Eligible Person. A majority of the members of the Committee may determine its actions.


 


SECTION

	4.1	Authorized
                                            Number of Shares



 


Subject
to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 15.1, the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the Plan shall be:


 


(a) 7,000,000
shares; plus


 


(b) an
annual increase to be added as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year beginning in 2023 equal to the least of (i) 5% of
the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 1,000,000shares,
and (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board; provided, however, that any shares from any such increases in previous years that
are not actually issued shall continue to be available for issuance under the Plan subject to adjustment from time to time as provided

	4.2	Share
                                            Usage



 


(a) Shares
of Common Stock covered by an Award shall not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant.
If any Award lapses, expires, terminates or is canceled prior to the issuance of shares thereunder, is settled in cash in lieu of shares
of Common Stock, or if shares of Common Stock are issued under the Plan to a Participant and thereafter are forfeited to or otherwise
reacquired by the Company, the shares subject to such Awards and the forfeited or reacquired shares shall again be available for issuance
under the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock (i) tendered by a Participant or retained by the Company as full or partial payment to the
Company for the purchase price of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award, or (ii) covered by
an Award that is settled in cash, or in a manner such that some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Award are not issued,
shall be available for Awards under the Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall not be
reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into additional shares of Common Stock or credited as additional
shares of Common Stock subject or paid with respect to an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any shares of Common Stock tendered by
a Participant or retained by the Company as full or partial payment to the Company for the exercise or purchase price of an Award, or
to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award, shall not again be available for Awards under the Plan.


 


(b) The
Committee shall also, without limitation, have the authority to grant Awards as an alternative to or as the form of payment for grants
or rights earned or due under other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant Substitute Awards under the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not
reduce the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan. In the event that an Acquired Entity has shares available for awards
or grants under one or more preexisting plans not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, then, to the extent determined
by the Board or the Committee, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such preexisting plans (as adjusted, to the extent
appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine
the consideration payable to holders of securities of the entities that are parties to such acquisition or combination) may be used for
Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided, however,
that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of such
preexisting plans, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of
the Company or a Related Company prior to such acquisition or combination. In the event that a written agreement between the Company
and an Acquired Entity pursuant to which a merger or consolidation is completed is approved by the Board and that agreement sets forth
the terms and conditions of the substitution for or assumption of outstanding awards of the Acquired Entity, those terms and conditions
shall be deemed to be the action of the Committee without any further action by the Committee, except as may be required for compliance
with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the persons holding such awards shall be deemed to be Participants


 


(d) Notwithstanding
any other provisions in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive
Stock Options shall equal the aggregate share number stated in Section 4.1, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15.1.

SECTION
5. ELIGIBILITY


 


An
Award may be granted to any employee, officer or director of the Company or a Related Company whom the Committee from time to time selects.
An Award may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor for bona fide services rendered to the Company
or any Related Company that (a) are not in connection with the offer and sale of the Company’s securities in a capital-raising
transaction and (b) do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.


 


SECTION
6. AWARDS

                                            Grant and Settlement of Awards



 


The
Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the type or types of Awards to be granted under the Plan. Such
Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other type of Award. Any Award settlement may be subject to
such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine.


 


	6.2	Evidence
                                            of Awards



 


Awards
granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written, including an electronic, instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions,
limitations and restrictions as the Committee shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Plan.


 


	6.3	Deferrals



 


The
Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of any Award. If any such deferral election is permitted
or required, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals, which may include
the grant of additional Awards or provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, including converting such
credits to deferred stock unit equivalents. Deferral of any Award or payment thereunder shall comply with all applicable law, rules and
regulations, and shall satisfy either the requirements for exemption from Section 409A or the requirements of Section 409A as determined
by the Committee prior to such deferral.


 


	6.4	Dividends
                                            and Distributions



 


Participants
may, if the Committee so determines, be credited with dividends or dividend equivalents paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying
an Award in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends or
dividend equivalents that the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of
dividends or dividend equivalents, including cash, shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any dividends or dividend equivalents credited to an Award shall accrue and be paid only to the extent the Award becomes vested or payable.
Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents must comply with or qualify for an exemption under
Section 409A.

shall be granted with an exercise price per share not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date (and

                                            of Options



 


(a)
The Committee shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option the time at which, or the installments in
which, the Option shall vest and become exercisable. (b)To the extent an Option has vested and become exercisable, the Option
may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part by delivery to or as directed or approved by the Company of a properly
executed stock option exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee,
setting forth the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, the restrictions imposed on the shares
purchased under such exercise agreement or notice, if any, and such representations and agreements as may be required by the
Committee, accompanied by payment in full as described in Section 7.5. An Option may be exercised only for whole shares and may not
be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Committee.

	7.5	Payment
                                            of Exercise Price



 


The
exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product
of the Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration must be paid before the Company will issue the shares
being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable to the Committee for that purchase, which forms may include:


 


(a) cash;


 


(b) check
or wire transfer;


 


(c) having
the Company withhold shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued on exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option that have an aggregate
Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option;


 


(d) tendering
(either actually or, if and for as long as the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, by attestation)
shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the
shares being purchased under the Option;


 


(e) if
and so long as the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and to the extent permitted by law, delivery
of a properly executed exercise agreement or notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm designated or approved
by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any tax withholding
obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board; or


 


(f) such
other consideration as the Committee may permit.


 


	7.6	Effect
                                            of Termination of Service



 


(a) The
Committee shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable,
and the terms and conditions of such exercise, after a Termination of Service, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the
Committee at any time. If not so established and set forth in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be exercisable according
to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time:


 


(i) Any
portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant’s Termination of Service shall expire on such
date.


 


(ii) Any
portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant’s Termination of Service shall expire on the earliest
to occur of:


 


(1)
if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs for reasons other than Cause, Retirement, Disability or death, the date
that is three months after such Termination of Service;


 


(2)
if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the one-year anniversary of
such Termination of Service; and


 


(3)
the Option Expiration Date.


 




    	6



     


    

 


(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Participant dies after the Participant’s Termination of Service but while an Option is otherwise exercisable,
the portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable on the date of such Termination of Service shall expire upon the earlier to
occur of (y) the Option Expiration Date and (z) the one-year anniversary of the date of death, unless the Committee determines otherwise.


 


(c) Also
notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Participant’s Termination of Service occurs for Cause, all Options granted to the Participant,
whether vested or unvested, shall automatically expire and terminate upon first notification to the Participant of such termination,
unless the Committee determines otherwise. If a Participant’s employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended
pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant’s rights under any Option
shall likewise be suspended during the period of investigation. If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered
after a Participant’s Termination of Service, any Option then held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Committee,
in its sole discretion.


 


(d) If
the exercise of the Option following a Participant’s Termination of Service, but while the Option is otherwise exercisable, would
be prohibited solely because the issuance of Common Stock would violate either the registration requirements under the Securities Act
or the Company’s insider trading policy, then the Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the Option Expiration
Date or (ii) the expiration of a period of three months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion)
after the Participant’s Termination of Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such Securities
Act or insider trading policy requirements.


 


SECTION

any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the terms and conditions of any Incentive Stock Options shall in addition comply in
all respects with Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision, and any applicable regulations thereunder, including, to the extent
required thereunder, the following:

Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other stock option plans
of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations) exceeds $100,000, such portion in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a
Nonqualified Stock Option. In the event the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable for the first time in
the same calendar year, such limitation shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are granted.


 


	8.2	Eligible
                                            Employees

shall be granted with an exercise price per share not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date.
The determination of more than 10% ownership shall be made in accordance with Section 422 of the Code.


 


	8.4	Option
                                            Term



 


Subject
to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the Option, the maximum term of an Incentive
Stock Option shall not exceed ten years, and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, shall not
exceed five years.


 


	8.5	Exercisability



 


An
Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the
extent it is exercised (if permitted by the terms of the Option) (a) more than three months after the date of a Participant’s termination
of employment if termination was for reasons other than death or disability, (b) more than one year after the date of a Participant’s
termination of employment if termination was by reason of disability, or (c) more than six months following the first day of a Participant’s
leave of absence that exceeds three months, unless the Participant’s reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or contract.


 


	8.6	Taxation

In

shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option for two years after the Grant Date and one year after the date of exercise.
A Participant may be subject to the alternative minimum tax at the time of exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. The Participant shall
give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration
of such holding periods.


 


	8.7	Code
                                            Definitions



 


For
the purposes of this Section 8, “disability,” “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation” shall
have the meanings attributed to those terms for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.


 


	8.8	Stockholder
                                            Approval



 


If
the stockholders of the Company do not approve the Plan within 12 months after the Board’s adoption of the Plan (or the Board’s
adoption of any amendment to the Plan that constitutes the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 422 of the Code), Incentive
Stock Options granted under the Plan after the date of the Board’s adoption (or approval) will be treated as Nonqualified Stock
Options. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted more than ten years after the earlier of the approval of the Plan by the Board or
the stockholders (including any such approval of an amendment to the Plan that constitutes the adoption of a new plan for purposes of
Section 422 of the Code).

The
Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants at any time on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine
in its sole discretion. A SAR may be granted in tandem with an Option (“tandem SAR”) or alone (“freestanding

freestanding SAR shall be established in accordance with procedures for Options set forth in Section 7.2. A SAR may be exercised upon
such terms and conditions and for the term as the Committee determines in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, subject to earlier
termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the SAR, the maximum term of a freestanding SAR shall
be ten years, and in the case of a tandem SAR, (a) the term shall not exceed the term of the related Option and (b) the tandem SAR may
be exercised for all or part of the shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion
of the related Option, except that the tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the shares for which its related Option is then
exercisable.


 


	9.2	Payment
                                            of SAR Amount

between the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR by (b) the number of shares
with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the discretion of the Committee as set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award, the
payment upon exercise of a SAR may be in cash, in shares, in some combination thereof or in any other manner approved by the Committee
in its sole discretion.


 


9.3 Waiver

The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive any other terms, conditions or restrictions on any SAR under such circumstances and subject

evidencing the Award.

	10.2	Vesting
                                            of Restricted Stock and Stock Units



 


Upon
the satisfaction of any terms, conditions and restrictions prescribed with respect to Restricted Stock or Stock Units, or upon a Participant’s
release from any terms, conditions and restrictions on Restricted Stock or Stock Units, as determined by the Committee, (a) the shares
covered by each Award of Restricted Stock shall become freely transferable by the Participant subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, the instrument evidencing the Award, and applicable securities laws, and (b) Stock Units shall be paid in shares of Common
Stock or, if set forth in the instrument evidencing the Awards, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. Any fractional
shares subject to such Awards shall be paid to the Participant in cash.


 


	10.3	Waiver
                                            of Restrictions



 


The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the repurchase or forfeiture period and any other terms, conditions or restrictions on any
Restricted Stock or Stock Unit under such circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

the number of Performance Units and the terms and conditions of each such Award. Performance Units shall consist of a unit valued by
reference to a designated amount of property other than shares of Common Stock, which value may be paid to the Participant by delivery
of such property as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, other property, or any
combination thereof, upon the attainment of performance goals, as established by the Committee, and other terms and conditions specified
by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 18.5, the amount to be paid under an Award of Performance Units
may be adjusted on the basis of such further consideration as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

SECTION
12. OTHER STOCK OR CASH-BASED AWARDS


 


Subject
to the terms of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, the Committee may grant other incentives
payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock under the Plan.


 


SECTION
13. WITHHOLDING


 


(a) The
Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company or a Related Company, as applicable, the amount of (i) any taxes that the Company
or a Related Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or
exercise of an Award (“tax withholding obligations”) and (ii) any amounts due from the Participant to the Company
or to any Related Company (“other obligations”). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary,
the Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock or otherwise settle an Award under the Plan until such tax withholding
obligations and other obligations are satisfied.


 


(b) The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the Participant’s tax withholding
obligations and other obligations by (i) paying cash to the Company or a Related Company, as applicable, (ii) having the Company or a
Related Company, as applicable, withhold an amount from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company or a Related
Company to the Participant, (iii) having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the
Participant (or become vested, in the case of Restricted Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax withholding obligations and
other obligations, or (iv) surrendering a number of shares of Common Stock the Participant already owns having a value equal to the tax
withholding obligations and other obligations. The value of the shares so withheld or tendered may not exceed the employer’s applicable
minimum required tax withholding rate or such other applicable rate as is necessary to avoid adverse treatment for financial accounting
purposes, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.


 


SECTION
14. ASSIGNABILITY


 


No
Award or interest in an Award may be sold, assigned, pledged (as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation
or for any other purpose) or transferred by a Participant or made subject to attachment or similar proceedings otherwise than by will
or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, except to the extent, at the discretion of the Committee, the instrument evidencing
the Award permits the Participant to designate one or more beneficiaries on a Company-approved form who may exercise the Award or receive
payment under the Award after the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
permit a Participant to assign or transfer an Award without consideration, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall
specify.

SECTION
15. ADJUSTMENTS


 


	15.1	Adjustment
                                            of Shares



 


(a) In
the event that, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend, stock split, spin off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend that has a material effect on the price of Common
Stock, or other similar occurrence occurs, or a change in the Company’s corporate or capital structure results in (i) outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or kind
of securities of the Company or (ii) new, different or additional securities of the Company or any other company being received by the
holders of shares of Common Stock, then the Committee shall make proportional adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate
in: (A) the maximum number and kind of securities available for issuance under the Plan; (B) the maximum number and kind of securities
issuable as Incentive Stock Options as set forth in Section 4.2; and (C) the number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding
Award and, if applicable, the per share price of such securities.


 


(b) Adjustments,
if any, and any determinations or interpretations made by the Committee as to whether any adjustment shall be made, including any determination
of whether a distribution is other than a normal cash dividend or is a cash dividend that will have a material effect on the price of
issued shares, and the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
for cash or property, or for labor or services rendered, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe
therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect,
and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, outstanding Awards. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution
or liquidation of the Company or a Change in Control shall not be governed by this Section 15.1 but shall be governed by Sections 15.2
and 15.3, respectively.


 


	15.2	Dissolution
                                            or Liquidation



 


To
the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, Awards shall
terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. To the extent a vesting condition, forfeiture provision
or repurchase right applicable to an Award has not been waived by the Committee, the Award shall be forfeited immediately prior to the
consummation of the dissolution or liquidation.


 


	15.3	Change
                                            of Control



 


(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to a particular Award in the
instrument evidencing the Award or in a written employment, services or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or a
Related Company, in the event of a Change of Control, if and to the extent an outstanding Award is not converted, assumed, substituted
for or replaced by the Successor Company, then such Award shall terminate upon effectiveness of the Change of Control. Prior to the Change
of Control, the Plan Administrator may approve accelerated vesting and/or lapse of forfeiture or repurchase restrictions with respect
to all or a portion of the unvested portions of such Awards, any such determinations to be made by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion. If and to the extent the Successor Company converts, assumes, substitutes for or replaces an outstanding Award, all vesting
and/or exercisability restrictions and/or forfeiture and/or repurchase provisions applicable to such Award shall continue with respect
to any shares of the Successor Company or other consideration that may be received with respect to such Award. Without the consent of
any Participant, the Plan Administrator may dispose of Awards that are not vested as of the effective date of such Change of Control
in any manner permitted by applicable laws, including (without limitation) the cancellation of such Awards without the payment of any
consideration.


 




    	12



     


    

 


(b) For
the purposes of Section 15.3(a), an Award shall be considered converted, assumed, substituted for or replaced by the Successor Company
if following the Change of Control the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the
Award immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in
the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered
a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however,
that if such consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely common stock of the Successor Company, the Committee may,
with the consent of the Successor Company, provide for the consideration to be received pursuant to the Award, for each share of Common
Stock subject thereto, to be solely common stock of the Successor Company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration
shall be made by the Committee, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may instead provide in the event of a Change of Control that a Participant’s
outstanding Awards shall terminate upon or immediately prior to such Change of Control and that each such Participant shall be entitled
to receive, in exchange therefor, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which (i) the Acquisition Price multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Awards (either to the extent (if any) then vested and exercisable, or subject to
restrictions and/or forfeiture provisions, or whether or not then vested and exercisable, or subject to restrictions and/or forfeiture
provisions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) exceeds (ii) if applicable, the respective aggregate exercise, grant
or purchase price payable with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards.


 


(d) For
the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 15.3 requires all Awards, or portions of Awards, to be treated similarly.


 


	15.4	Further
                                            Adjustment of Awards



 


Subject
to Sections 15.2 and 15.3, the Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction, as defined by the Committee, to take such further action as it determines to be
necessary or advisable with respect to Awards. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to) establishing, amending
or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or restrictions on, Awards so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional
time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and the Committee may take such actions with respect to all Participants,
to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The Committee may take such action before or after granting
Awards to which the action relates and before or after any public announcement with respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction that is the reason for such action.


 




    	13



     


    

 


	15.5	No
                                            Limitations



 


The
grant of Awards shall in no way affect the Company’s right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.


 


	15.6	Fractional
                                            Shares



 


In
the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Award, each such Award shall cover only the number of full shares
resulting from such adjustment, and any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be disregarded.


 


15.7 Section
409A


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, (a) any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 15 to Awards that are considered “deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A and (b) any
adjustments made pursuant to this Section 15 to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section
409A shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment the Awards either (i) continue not to be subject to Section
409A or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A.


 


SECTION
16. MARKET STANDOFF


 


(a) In
the event of an underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, a Participant shall not sell, make any short sale
of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer for value or otherwise agree
to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any securities of the Company however or whenever acquired (except for
those being registered) without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such limitations shall be in effect for
such period of time as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters; provided, however, that in no event shall such period exceed
(i) 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement for such public offering or (ii) such longer period requested by
the underwriters as is necessary to comply with regulatory restrictions on the publication of research reports (including, but not limited
to, FINRA Rule 2241, or any amendments or successor rules). Participant shall execute an agreement reflecting the limitation of this
Section 16 as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of such public offering. The limitations of this Section 16 shall in all
events terminate two years after the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering.


 


(b) In
the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
Company’s outstanding Common Stock effected as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, any new, substituted
or additional securities distributed with respect to the shares issued under the Plan shall be immediately subject to the provisions
of this Section 16, to the same extent the shares issued under the Plan are at such time covered by such provisions.


 


In
order to enforce the limitations of this Section 16, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares until
the end of the applicable standoff period.

SECTION
17. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


 


	17.1	Amendment,
                                            Suspension or Termination



 


The
Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable;
provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval shall be required
for any amendment to the Plan. Subject to Section 17.3, the Board may amend the terms of any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively.


 


	17.2	Term
                                            of the Plan



 


Unless
sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall automatically terminate on the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (a) the date
the Board adopted the Plan and (b) the date the shareholders approved the Plan. After the Plan is terminated, no future Awards may be
granted, but Awards previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and conditions and the Plan’s terms
and conditions. 


 


	17.3	Consent
                                            of Participant



 


(a) The
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Award shall not, without the
Participant’s consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any Award theretofore granted to the Participant under the
Plan. Any change or adjustment to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be made in
a manner so as to constitute a “modification” that would cause such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 15 shall not be subject to these
restrictions.


 


(b) Subject
to Section 18.5, but notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board shall have broad authority to amend the
Plan or any outstanding Award without the consent of any Participant to the extent the Board deems necessary or advisable to comply with,
or take into account, changes in applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules or other applicable law, rule or regulation.

SECTION
18. GENERAL


 


	18.1	No
                                            Individual Rights



 


(a) No
individual or Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and the Company has no obligation for uniformity
of treatment of Participants under the Plan.


 


(b) Furthermore,
nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to
confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related
Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related Company to terminate a Participant’s employment or other relationship
at any time, with or without cause.


 


	18.2	Issuance
                                            of Shares



 


(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock
under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such
issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities
Act or the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction) and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.


 


(b) The
Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities
Act, or to register or qualify under the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, any shares of Common Stock, security or interest
in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made.


 


(c) As
a condition to the exercise of an Option or any other receipt of Common Stock pursuant to an Award under the Plan, the Company may require
(a) the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that such shares are being purchased or received
only for the Participant’s own account and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares and (b) such other action
or agreement by the Participant as may from time to time be necessary to comply with federal, state and foreign securities laws. At the
option of the Company, a stop-transfer order against any such shares may be placed on the official stock books and records of the Company,
and a legend indicating that such shares may not be pledged, sold or otherwise transferred, unless an opinion of counsel is provided
(concurred in by counsel for the Company) stating that such transfer is not in violation of any applicable law or regulation, may be
stamped on stock certificates to ensure exemption from registration. The Committee may also require the Participant to execute and deliver
to the Company a purchase agreement or such other agreement as may be in use by the Company at such time that describes certain terms
and conditions applicable to the shares.


 


(d) To
the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Award provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares
of Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on an uncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable
rules of any stock exchange.


 




    	16



     


    

 


	18.3	Indemnification



 


(a) Each
person who is or shall have been a member of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss,
cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim,
action, suit or proceeding to which such person may be a party or in which such person may be involved by reason of any action taken
or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such person in settlement thereof, with the Company’s
approval, or paid by such person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding against such person, unless
such loss, cost, liability or expense is a result of such person’s own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute;
provided, however, that such person shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such
person undertakes to handle and defend it on such person’s own behalf.


 


(b) The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such person may be entitled
under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or of any power that the Company
may have to indemnify or hold harmless.


 


	18.4	No
                                            Rights as a Stockholder



 


Unless
otherwise provided by the Committee or in the instrument evidencing the Award or in a written employment, services or other agreement,
no Award, other than a Stock Award or an Award of Restricted Stock, shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other
right of a stockholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject of such Award.


 


	18.5	Compliance
                                            with Laws and Regulations



 


(a) In
interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be construed as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.


 


(b) The
Plan and Awards granted under the Plan are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A to the maximum extent possible,
whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), the exclusion applicable
to stock options, stock appreciation rights and certain other equity-based compensation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5),
or otherwise. To the extent Section 409A is applicable to the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, it is intended that the Plan
and any Awards granted under the Plan shall comply with the deferral, payout, plan termination and other limitations and restrictions
imposed under Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to the contrary, the
Plan and any Award granted under the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions;
provided, however, that the Committee makes no representations that Awards granted under the Plan shall be exempt from or comply with
Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to Awards granted under the Plan. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to the contrary, with respect
to any payments and benefits under the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to which Section 409A applies, all references in the
Plan or any Award granted under the Plan to the termination of the Participant’s employment or service are intended to mean the
Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) to the extent necessary to
avoid subjecting the Participant to the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A. In addition, if the Participant is a “specified
employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting the Participant to the imposition
of any additional tax under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable under the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan
during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i), shall not be paid to the Participant during such period, but shall instead be accumulated and paid to the Participant
(or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s estate) in a lump sum on the first business day after the
earlier of the date that is six months following the Participant’s separation from service or the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion,
reserves the right, but shall not be required, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan so that
the Award qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A.


 




    	17



     


    

 


	18.6	Participants
                                            in Other Countries or Jurisdictions



 


Without
amending the Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Persons who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different
from those specified in the Plan, as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement
of the purposes of the Plan and shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary
or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws or regulations of other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or any Related
Company may operate or have employees to ensure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Participants employed in such countries
or jurisdictions, meet the requirements that permit the Plan to operate in a qualified or tax efficient manner, comply with applicable
foreign laws or regulations and meet the objectives of the Plan.


 


	18.7	No
                                            Trust or Fund



 


The
Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies
or other property, or shares of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for any immediate or deferred
amounts payable to any Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor
of the Company.


 


	18.8	Successors



 


All
obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards 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 the
business and/or assets of the Company.


 


	18.9	Severability



 


If
any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person,
or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed
amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Committee’s determination,
materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and
the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.


 


	18.10	Choice
                                            of Law and Venue



 


The
Plan, all Awards granted thereunder and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed
by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts
of law. Participants irrevocably consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State
of Delaware.


 


	18.11	Legal
                                            Requirements



 


The
granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.


 


SECTION
19. EFFECTIVE DATE


 


The
effective date (the “Effective Date”) is the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board. In addition, to
the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval of the Plan shall be obtained

receivable or deemed receivable upon a Change of Control in respect of a share of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Administrator’s discretion will include determining whether and to what extent
the Acquisition Price will reflect any escrows, holdbacks, purchase price adjustments or other contingencies that occur after the closing
of such Change of Control and that affect the total consideration receivable or deemed receivable in respect of shares of Common Stock.

“Cause,”
unless otherwise defined in the instrument evidencing an Award or in a written employment, services or other agreement between the Participant
and the Company or a Related Company, means dishonesty, fraud, serious or willful misconduct, unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential
information or trade secrets, or conduct prohibited by law (except minor violations), in each case as determined by the Company’s
chief human resources officer or other person performing that function or, in the case of directors and executive officers, the Board,
whose determination shall be conclusive and binding.


 


“Change

or a Related Company, means the occurrence of any of the following events:

50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election

conversion privilege, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored
or maintained by the Company or any Related Company and (iv) any acquisition by any Entity pursuant to a transaction that meets the conditions
