have the meaning ascribed to it under Section 22(e)(3) of the Code. The determination of whether an individual has a Disability shall

of the term of an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to Section 6.9 hereof within the meaning

shall be determined by the Committee in good faith after taking into consideration all factors which it deems appropriate, including,
without limitation, Sections 409A and 422 of the Code.

members (with or without cause) from, appoint new members in substitution therefor, and fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee.
The Committee shall act pursuant to a vote of the majority of its members or, in the case of a Committee comprised of only two members,

had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after institution
of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Committee shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle
and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

issued shares (without giving effect to any share repurchases and cancellations) shall be available for the grant of Awards under

number of shares of Common Stock to which the Award related will again be available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein: shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance
or delivery under the Plan if such shares are (a) shares tendered in payment of an Option, (b) shares delivered or withheld by the
Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or (c) shares covered by a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or other Awards
that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award.


 


4.4
If the Committee authorizes the assumption of awards pursuant to Section 3.2 or
Section 14.1 hereof, the assumption will reduce the number of shares available for
issuance under the Plan in the same manner as if the assumed awards had been granted under the Plan.

Eligibility.


 


5.1

Options may be granted only to Employees. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Directors
and those individuals whom the Committee determines are reasonably expected to become Employees, Consultants and Directors following
the Grant Date.


 


5.2
Ten Percent Shareholders. A Ten Percent Shareholder
shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the Option Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the Grant Date and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.


 


6.
Option Provisions. Each Option granted under
the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section
6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options shall
be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued,
a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if an Option designated as an Incentive Stock
Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by
reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:


 


6.1
Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2
regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant
Date. The term of a Non-qualified Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however,
no Non-qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date.


 


6.2
Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the Option
Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the
Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower
than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option
in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.


 


6.3
Exercise Price of a Non-qualified Stock Option.
The Option Exercise Price of each Non-qualified Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise
Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another
option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.


 






    10


     


    

 


6.4
Method of Exercise. The Option Exercise Price
shall be paid, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is
exercised or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve: (i) by delivery to the Company of
other shares of Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the
Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired; (ii) by a “net exercise” procedure
effected by withholding the minimum number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of an Option that are needed to pay
the Option Exercise Price; (iii) by any combination of the foregoing methods; or (iv) in any other form of legal consideration that may
be acceptable to the Committee. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the Option Exercise Price that is paid by delivery
to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of Common Stock
that have been held for more than six months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes).


 


6.5
Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option.
An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable
during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering
written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder,
shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.


 


6.6
Transferability of a Non-qualified Stock Option.
A Non-qualified Stock Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferable to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval
by the Committee to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. If the Non-qualified Stock Option does not provide for transferability,
then the Non-qualified Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by
delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death
of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.


 


6.7
Vesting of Options. Each Option may, but need
not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such
other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the
Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a
share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in
the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.


 






    11


     


    

 


6.8
Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise
provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Committee, in the event an
Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may
exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but
only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three months following the termination of the Optionholder’s
Continuous Service or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, if the
termination of Continuous Service is by the Company for Cause, all outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate
and cease to be exercisable. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in
the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.


 


6.9 Disability
of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in
an Award Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s
Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such
Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following
such termination or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination, the
Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall
terminate.


 


6.10
Death of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided
in an Award Agreement, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death,
then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the
Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated
to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months
following the date of death or (b) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Optionholder’s
death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.


 


6.11
Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time
of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during
any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Options or portions thereof which exceed
such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options.


 


6.12
Detrimental Activity. Unless otherwise provided
in an Award Agreement, all outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable on the
date on which an Optionholder engages in Detrimental Activity.


 






    12


     


    

 


7.
Restricted Awards.
A Restricted Award is an Award of actual shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or an Award of hypothetical Common
Stock Units (“Restricted Stock Units”) having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares
of Common Stock. Restricted Awards may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise
disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose
during the Restricted Period as the Committee shall determine. Each Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions
not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.


 


7.1
Restricted Stock. Each Participant granted Restricted
Stock shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with respect to the Restricted Stock setting forth the restrictions
and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held
by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee
may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee,
if applicable and (B) the appropriate blank stock power with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant
fails to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and stock power, the Award
shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges
of a shareholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends.


 


7.2
Restricted Stock Units. The terms and conditions
of a grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued at the time
a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside funds for the payment of any such Award. A Participant
shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder.


 


7.3
Restrictions.  


 


(a)
Restrictions on Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until
the expiration of the Restricted Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement:
(A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate; (B) the shares shall
be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to
the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (D) to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall
be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a shareholder with respect to such shares shall terminate
without further obligation on the part of the Company.


 


(b) Restrictions
on Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units awarded to a Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the
expiration of the Restricted Period and satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals during such period, to the extent provided
in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to
such Restricted Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (B) such other terms and
conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.


 






    13


     


    

 


(c) Committee
Discretion to Remove Restrictions. The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes
in circumstances arising after the Grant Date, such action is appropriate.


 


7.4
Restricted Period. The Restricted Period shall
commence on the Grant Date and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award
Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate
the vesting of any Restricted Award at any time and for any reason. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration
of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.


 


7.5
Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.
Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.3(a)
and the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in
the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant,
or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited
and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share). Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period
with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without
charge, one share of Common Stock for each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that if explicitly provided in
the Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay part cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of
delivering only shares of Common Stock for vested Restricted Stock Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common
Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted
Period lapsed.


 


No
Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a share of Common Stock.


 


8. Performance
Share Awards Each Performance Share Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each
Performance Share Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the discretion to
determine: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or stock-denominated units subject to a Performance Share Award granted to any
Participant; (ii) the Performance Period applicable to any Award; (iii) the conditions that must be satisfied for a Participant to
earn an Award; and (iv) the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.


 






    14


     


    

 


8.1 Earning
Performance Share Awards The number of Performance Shares earned by a Participant will depend on the extent to which the
Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the
Committee.


 


9.
Securities Law Compliance.


 


9.1
Securities Registration. No Awards shall be granted
under the Plan and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan unless
and until the Company and/or the Participant have complied with all applicable federal and state registration, listing and/or qualification
requirements and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction.


 


9.2
Representations; Legends. The Committee may,
as a condition to the grant of any Award or the exercise of any Option under the Plan, require a Participant to (i) represent in writing
that the shares of Common Stock received in connection with such Award are being acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution
and (ii) make such other representations and warranties as are deemed appropriate by counsel to the Company. Each certificate representing
shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate.


 


10.
Use of Proceeds from Stock. Proceeds from the
sale of Common Stock pursuant to Awards, or upon exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company.


 


11.
Other Equity-Based Awards and Cash Awards. The
Committee may grant Other Equity-Based Awards, either alone or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts and subject to such conditions
as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Each Equity-Based Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and shall be
subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee may
grant Cash Awards in such amounts and subject to such Performance Goals, other vesting conditions, and such other terms as the Committee
determines in its discretion. Cash Awards shall be evidenced in such form as the Committee may determine.


 


12.
Miscellaneous.


 


12.1 Acceleration
of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be
exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the
provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.


 


12.2
Shareholder Rights. Except as provided in the
Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect
to, any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise or settlement
of the Award pursuant to its terms (including any obligation to execute the Shareholders’ Agreement) and no adjustment shall be
made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such Common Stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 13
hereof.


 






    15


     


    

 


12.3
No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing
in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve
the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an
Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause or (b) the service of a Director
pursuant to the By-laws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the
Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.


 


12.4
Transfer; Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes
of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer of employment to the Company
from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another, or (b) an approved leave of absence for military
service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either
by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides
in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto.


 


12.5
Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided
by the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or
local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by any of the following means
(in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination
of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common
Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award, provided,
however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by
law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock of the Company.


 


13.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock. In the event
of changes in the outstanding Common Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the
Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Performance Goals to which Performance
Share Awards and Cash Awards are subject, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Awards stated in Section 3.1
will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject
to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this
Section 13, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates,
the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 13 will not constitute a
modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case
of Non-qualified Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 13 will not constitute a modification of such Non-qualified
Stock Options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.


 






    16


     


    

 


14.
Effect of Change in Control.


 


14.1
In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to:


 


(a)
accelerate, vest or cause the restrictions to lapse with respect to all or any portion of any Award;


 


(b)
cancel Awards and cause to be paid to the holders of vested Awards the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee,
in its sole discretion, it being understood that in the case of any Option with an Option Exercise Price that equals or exceeds the
price paid for a share of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, the Committee may cancel the Option without the
payment of consideration therefor;


 


(c)
provide for the issuance of substitute Awards or the assumption or replacement of such Awards; or


 


(d)
provide written notice to Participants that for a period of at least ten days prior to the Change in Control, such Awards shall be
exercisable, to the extent applicable, as to all shares of Common Stock subject thereto and upon the occurrence of the Change in
Control, any Awards not so exercised shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.


 


14.2
The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or
substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.


 


15.
Amendment of the Plan and Awards.


 


15.1
Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and
from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 13
relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock and Section 15.3, no amendment
shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any
Applicable Laws. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent
on shareholder approval.


 






    17


     


    

 


15.2
Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole
discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval.


 


15.3
Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated
that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Consultants and
Directors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder
relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring
the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.


 


15.4
No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award
granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of
the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.


 


15.5
Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time,
and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may not affect any
amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of
the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.


 


16.
General Provisions.


 


16.1
Clawback; Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise that the Committee
may cancel such Award if the Participant has engaged in or engages in any Detrimental Activity. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
also provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise that (i) if the Participant has engaged in or engages in Detrimental Activity, the Participant
will forfeit any gain realized on the vesting, exercise or settlement of any Award, and must repay the gain to the Company and (ii) if
the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the Participant should have received under the terms of the Award for any reason
(including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), then the
Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, all Awards shall be subject
to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.


 


16.2
Shareholders’ Agreement. In connection
with the grant, vesting and/or exercise of any Award under the Plan, the Committee may require a Participant to execute and become a
party to the Shareholders’ Agreement as a condition of such grant, vesting and/or exercise. The Shareholders’ Agreement may
contain restrictions on the transferability of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan (such as a right of first refusal or a
prohibition on transfer) and such shares may be subject to call rights and drag-along rights of the Company and certain of its investors.
The Company shall also have any repurchase rights set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement or any Award Agreement.


 






    18


     


    

 


16.3
Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained
in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if
such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.


 


16.4
Sub-Plans. The Committee may from time to time
establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company
intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Committee determines are
necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan, but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the
jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.


 


16.5
Deferral of Awards. The Committee may establish
one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise
of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Participant to payment or
receipt of shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award. The Committee may establish the election procedures, the timing
of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, shares or other consideration
so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Committee deems advisable for the administration of any
such deferral program.


 


16.6
Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither
the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure
the performance of its obligations under the Plan.


 


16.7
Recapitalizations. Each Award Agreement shall
contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 13.


 


16.8
Delivery. Upon exercise of a right granted under
this Plan, the Company shall issue Common Stock or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any
statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, 30 days shall be considered a reasonable
period of time.


 


16.9
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other
securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or whether any fractional shares should be
rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.


 


16.10
Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized
under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the
exercise of Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable.


 






    19


     


    

 


16.11
Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply
with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted
and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral
period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section
409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the
six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first
payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if
earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent
the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee
will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.


 


16.12
Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who
shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section 424 of the Code) of all or any portion of shares of Common Stock acquired
upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option or within one year after
the issuance of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option (a “Disqualifying Disposition”)
shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale
of such shares of Common Stock.


 


16.13
Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under
the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such
Participant’s death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably
prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s
lifetime.


 


16.14
Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan
shall be paid by the Company.


 


16.15
Severability. If any of the provisions of the
Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed
modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall
not be affected thereby.


 


16.16
Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for
purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the construction of the provisions hereof.


 


16.17
Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s
determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually
receive, Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to make non-uniform and selective
determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements.


 


17.
Termination or Suspension of the Plan.
The Plan shall terminate automatically on the tenth anniversary of the date of adoption. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan
after such date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier
date pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the
Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.


 


18.
Choice of Law. The law of the State of Florida
shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s
conflict of law rules.
