authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the terms
and provisions of the respective Award Agreements (which need not be identical), and to make all other determinations necessary
or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee’s determinations made in good faith on matters referred to
in the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons having or claiming any interest under the Plan or an Award made
pursuant hereto.

5.2
General Terms of Awards. Each grant of an Award shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan (including

and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee may prescribe.


 


5.3
Non-Transferability of Awards. Awards shall not be transferable, and no Awards or interest therein may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and
all of a Participant’s rights in any Award may be exercised during the life of the Participant only by the Participant or
the Participant’s legal representative.


 


5.4
Conditions to Receipt of Awards. Unless otherwise waived by the Committee, no prospective Participant shall have any rights
with respect to an Award unless and until such Participant has executed an Award Agreement evidencing the Award, delivered a fully

5.5
Equity Subject to Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for the grant or settlement of Awards under

Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P. (“IPO Offering”), and shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. If any shares
of Common Stock subject to an Award are forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires
without a distribution of Common Stock to the Participant, the Common Stock with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of
any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Stock that is exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment
in connection with any Award under the Plan, as well as any Common Stock exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company
to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any Award under the Plan, shall not be available for subsequent Awards under
the Plan.

    Terms of Awards


 


6.1
Options.


 


(a)
Date of Grant. The granting of an Option shall take place at the time specified in the Award Agreement.

of the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the Grant Date.

and specified in each Award Agreement; provided, however, that no Option may be exercised on or after the tenth anniversary
of the Grant Date.


 


(d)
Exercisability. An Option may be immediately exercisable or become exercisable in such installments, cumulative or non-cumulative,
as the Committee may determine and as set forth in each Award Agreement. In the case of an Option not otherwise immediately exercisable
in full, the Committee may Accelerate such Option in whole or in part at any time.

not be exercisable more than five years from the date it is granted. In determining the stock ownership under this paragraph,

(f)
Termination of Association with the Company — Generally. Unless the Committee shall provide otherwise for any Award
with respect to any Option as set forth in the Award Agreement for such Option, if the Optionee’s employment or other association
with the Company ends for any reason, any outstanding Option of the Optionee shall cease to be exercisable in any respect and
shall terminate not later than 90 days following that event and, for the period it remains exercisable following that event, shall
be exercisable only to the extent exercisable at the date of that event (and to the extent not then exercisable, shall terminate
as of the date of such event). Military or sick leave or other bona fide leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment
or other association, provided that it does not exceed the longer of ninety (90) days or the period during which the absent
Optionee’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.


 


(g)
Method of Exercise. An Option may be exercised by the Optionee giving written notice, in the manner provided in Section
14 or as otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock or Units with respect to which
the Option is then being exercised. Where the exercise of an Option is to be accompanied by payment, the Committee may determine
the required or permitted forms of payment, subject to the following: (a) all payments will be by cash or check acceptable to
the Committee; or (b) if so permitted by the Committee, (i) through the delivery of Common Stock that has a Fair Market Value
equal to the exercise price, except where payment by delivery of Common Stock would adversely affect the Company’s results
of operations under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or where payment by delivery of Common Stock outstanding for
less than six months would require application of securities laws relating to profit realized on such Common Stock, (ii) by other
means acceptable to the Committee, or (iii) by means of withholding of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal
to (A) the aggregate exercise price and (B) unless the Company is precluded or restricted from doing so under debt covenants,
minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms
of payment. The delivery of Common Stock in payment of the exercise price under clause (g)(i) above may be accomplished either
by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through attestation of ownership, subject to such rules as the Committee may prescribe.

with respect to any shares of Common Stock, except to the extent that the Option shall have been exercised with respect thereto.


 


6.2

(a)
Purchase Price. Common Stock or Restricted Stock may be issued under the Plan for such consideration, in cash, other property
or services, or any combination thereof, as is determined by the Committee.


 


(b)
Restrictions and Restriction Period. During the Restriction Period applicable to Restricted Stock, such Restricted Stock
shall be subject to limitations on transferability and a Risk of Forfeiture arising on the basis of such conditions related to
the performance of services, Company performance or otherwise as the Committee may determine and provide for in the applicable
Award Agreement. Any such Risk of Forfeiture may be waived or terminated, or the Restriction Period shortened, at any time by
the Committee on such basis as it deems appropriate. Certificates for shares issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall
bear an appropriate legend referring to such restrictions, and any attempt to dispose of any such shares in contravention of such
restrictions shall be null and void and without effect. Such certificates may, if so determined by the Committee, be held in escrow
by an escrow agent (which may be the Company) appointed by the Committee, to be held for the benefit of the Participant for such
period in the discretion of the Committee until the applicable Restriction Period lapses.


 




    	 



    	 	 	 



    

 


(c)
Rights Pending Lapse of Risk of Forfeiture or Forfeiture of Award. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the applicable
Award Agreement, at all times prior to lapse of any Risk of Forfeiture applicable to, or forfeiture of, an Award of Restricted
Stock, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Common Stock, including, but not limited to, the right to vote
and the right to receive any dividends or distributions with respect to the Restricted Stock.


 


(d)
Termination of Association with the Company. Unless the Committee shall provide otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement
for any Award of Restricted Stock, upon termination of a Participant’s employment or other association with the Company
and its Affiliates for any reason during the Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock still subject to Risk of Forfeiture shall
be forfeited or otherwise subject to return to or repurchase by the Company on the terms specified in the Award Agreement; provided,
however, that military or sick leave or other bona fide leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association
if it does not exceed the longer of ninety (90) days or the period during which the absent Participant’s reemployment rights,
if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.


 


6.3
Common Stock Grants. Common Stock Grants may be awarded solely in recognition of significant contributions to the success
of the Company or its Affiliates in lieu of compensation otherwise already due and in such other limited circumstances as the
Committee deems appropriate. Common Stock Grants shall be made without forfeiture conditions of any kind.


 


6.4
Stock-Based Awards. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards of phantom shares of Common Stock, SARs and
other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock. Such Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine,
including, without limitation, the right to receive shares of Common Stock (or the equivalent cash value of such Common Stock)
upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of Performance Goals. Stock-Based
Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan,
the Committee shall determine: (a) the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Stock-Based
Awards; (b) whether such Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common
Stock; and (c) all other terms and conditions of such Stock-Based Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions
thereof).


 


6.5
Awards to Participants Outside the United States. The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan granted
to a Participant who is, at the time of grant or during the term of the Award, resident or primarily employed outside of the United
States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that the Award shall conform to laws, regulations,
and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits
of the Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s
residence or employment abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to a Participant who is resident or primarily
employed in the United States. The Committee may establish supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions
of the Plan for the purpose of granting and administrating any such modified Award, none of which shall require prior approval
of the stockholders of the Company except for stockholder approval as may be necessary for the Plan or Award to comply with applicable
law.


 


	7.	Adjustment
    Provisions


 


7.1
Adjustment for Company Actions. If subsequent to the adoption of the Plan by the Company the outstanding Common Stock are
increased, decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of stock, units or other securities, or if additional shares,
units or new or different shares, units or other securities are distributed with respect to Common stock or Units through merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the property of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
dividend, stock or unit split, reverse stock or unit split, or other similar distribution with respect to such Common Stock, the
Committee shall make an adjustment, to the extent appropriate and proportionate, in (i) the numbers and kinds of Common Stock
or other securities subject to the then outstanding Awards, and (ii) the exercise price for each Common Stock or other securities
subject to then outstanding Options (without change in the aggregate purchase price as to which such Options remain exercisable).


 




    	 



    	 	 	 



    

 


7.2
Related Matters. Any adjustment in Awards made pursuant to this Section 7 shall be determined and made, if at all, by the
Committee and shall include any correlative modification of terms, including of Exercise Prices, rates of vesting or exercisability,
Risks of Forfeiture and applicable repurchase prices for Restricted Stock and Stock-Based Awards, which the Committee may deem
necessary or appropriate so as to ensure the rights of the Participants in their respective Awards are not substantially diminished
nor enlarged as a result of the adjustment and Company action other than as expressly contemplated in this Section 7. No fraction
of a shares of Common Stock shall be issued or purchasable or deliverable upon exercise, but in the event any adjustment hereunder
of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by an Award shall cause such number to include a fraction, such number of shares
of Common Stock shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of shares of Common Stock.


 


	8.	Change
    in Control Provisions


 


8.1
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or evidenced in an applicable Award Agreement or employment or other agreement, in
the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable either in advance of such Change in Control
or at the time thereof, to provide for one or more of the following:


 


(a)
the continuation of outstanding Awards after the Change in Control without change;


 


(b)
the cash-out of outstanding Options as of the time of the transaction as part of the transaction for an amount equal to the difference
between the price that would have been paid for the shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options if such Options
were exercised upon the closing of such transaction and the exercise price of such outstanding Options; provided that if the exercise
price of the Options exceeds the price that would have been paid for the shares of Common Stock or Units subject to the outstanding
Options if such Options were exercised upon the closing of the transaction, then such Options may be cancelled without making
a payment to the Optionees;


 


(c)
a requirement that the buyer in the transaction assume outstanding Awards;


 


(d)
a requirement that the buyer in the transaction substitute outstanding Options with comparable options to purchase the equity
interests of the buyer or its parent and/or substitute outstanding Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, LTIP Units, Stock-Based
Awards, and/or Unit-Based Awards with comparable restricted stock or units of the buyer or its parent; and


 


(e)
the Acceleration of outstanding Options, Restricted Stock, and Stock-Based Awards.


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control in which the consideration paid to the holders of shares
of Common Stock is solely cash, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that each Award shall, upon the occurrence of a
Change in Control, be canceled in exchange for a payment, in cash or Common Stock, in an amount equal to (i) the excess of the
consideration paid per share of Common Stock and Units in the Change in Control over the exercise or purchase price (if any) per
share of Common Stock or Unit subject to the Award multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock granted under the Award.


 


8.2
A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs
shall have occurred:


 


(a)
any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities
beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates) representing 50% or more
of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, excluding any Person who becomes such a Beneficial
Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (I) of paragraph (c) below;


 


(b)
during any period of twelve (12) month period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new
director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest,
including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose election by the
Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a majority vote of the directors then still
in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously
approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;


 




    	 



    	 	 	 



    

 


(c)
there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, other than (I) a merger
or consolidation which results in (A) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity
or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity
or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and (B) the individuals who comprise the Board

determines in writing that such approval is required solely by reason of any relationship between the Company and any other Person
or an Affiliate of the Company and any other Person), other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially

the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following
such transaction or series of transactions.


 


	9.	Settlement
    of Awards


 


9.1
Violation of Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the relevant Award Agreement, if, at any time, in
the reasonable opinion of the Committee, the issuance of Common Stock covered by an Award may constitute a violation of law, then
the Company may delay such issuance and the delivery of such Common Stock until approval shall have been obtained from such governmental
agencies as may be required under any applicable law, rule, or regulation, and the Company shall take all reasonable efforts to
obtain such approval.


 


9.2
Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or
any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.


 


9.3
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award.
The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional
shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.


 




    	 



    	 	 	 



    

 


9.4
Investment Representations. The Company shall not be under any obligation to issue Common Stock covered by any Award unless
the intended recipient has made such written representations to the Company (upon which the Company believes it may reasonably
rely) as the Company may deem necessary or appropriate for purposes of confirming that the issuance of such Common Stock will
be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and otherwise in compliance
with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to that the Participant is acquiring the Common Stock
for his or her own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution
of any such Common Stock.


 


9.5
Registration. In the event that the disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then
current registration statement under the Securities Act, and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Common Stock
shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Committee
may require a Participant receiving Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Common Stock,
to represent to the Company in writing that the Common Stock acquired by such Participant is acquired for investment only and
not with a view to distribution.


 


9.6
Tax Withholding. Whenever Common Stock is issued or to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan, the Company
shall (i) have the right to require the recipient to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state,
local or other withholding tax requirements if, when, and to the extent required by law (whether so required to secure for the
Company an otherwise available tax deduction or otherwise) coincident with the recipient’s exercise of such Option or receipt
of Common Stock; or (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, withhold a number of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair
Market Value equal to an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local or other withholding requirements. The obligations
of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on satisfaction of all such withholding obligations and the Company shall,
to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the recipient
of an Award.


 


	10.	No
    Special Employment or Other Rights


 


Nothing
contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any recipient of an Award any right with respect to the continuation
of his or her employment or other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement, any provision
of law, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the
other terms and conditions of the recipient’s employment or other association with the Company or any Affiliate.


 


	11.	Nonexclusivity
    of the Plan


 


The
adoption of the Plan by the Company shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Company to adopt such
other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of options and restricted units
other than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.


 


	12.	No
    Corporate Action Restriction


 


The
existence of the Plan, the Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the
right or power of the Board or shareholders of the Company to make or authorize: (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization
or other change in the capital structure or business of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) any merger, amalgamation, consolidation
or change in the ownership of the Company or any subsidiary, (iii) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior
preference stock ahead of affecting the capital stock (or rights thereof) of the Company or any subsidiary, (iv) any dissolution
or liquidation of the Company or any subsidiary, (v) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the
Company or any subsidiary, or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any subsidiary. No Participant, beneficiary
or any other Person shall have any claim under any Award or Award Agreement against any member of the Board or the Committee,
or the Company or any employee, officer or agent of the Company or any subsidiary, as a result of such action.


 




    	 



    	 	 	 



    

 


	13.	Section
    409A of the Code


 


This
Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and
shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award, issuance and/or payment is subject
to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be awarded and/or issued or paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code,
including proposed, temporary or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal
Revenue Service with respect thereto. Any provision of this Plan that would cause an Award, issuance and/or payment to fail to
satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Code Section 409A (which amendment
may be retroactive to the extent permitted by applicable law).


 


	14.	Termination
    and Amendment of the Plan and Awards


 


The
Company may at any time terminate the Plan or make such modifications of the Plan as it shall deem advisable. Unless the Company
otherwise expressly provide, or may deem necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including without limitation
the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, no termination or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect the rights of the recipient
of an Award previously granted hereunder without the consent of the recipient of such Award.


 


The
Plan shall take effect on the Effective Date but the Plan (and any grants of Awards made prior to the stockholder approval mentioned
herein) shall be subject to the requisite approval of the stockholders of the Company, which approval must occur within twelve
(12) months of the date that the Plan is adopted by the Board. In the event that the stockholders of the Company do not ratify
the Plan at a meeting of the stockholders at which such issue is considered and voted upon, then upon such event the Plan and
all rights hereunder shall immediately terminate and no Participant (or any permitted transferee thereof) shall have any remaining
rights under the Plan or any Award Agreement entered into in connection herewith. The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the
Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any Award
theretofore granted without such Participant’s consent, or that without the approval of the stockholders of the Company
would, except as provided in Section 7, increase the total number of Awards reserved for the purpose of the Plan. In addition,
approval by the stockholders of the Company shall be required with respect to any amendment that materially increases benefits
provided under the Plan or materially alters the eligibility provisions of the Plan or with respect to which stockholder approval
is required under the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed. Unless sooner terminated by the Board,
the Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Board reserves the right to terminate the Plan at
any time. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after such termination date. The Plan shall remain in effect with respect
to Awards made under the Plan prior to the termination of the Plan until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements.


 


The
Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, provided that the Award
as amended is consistent with the terms of the Plan, and further provided that, other than as the Committee may deem necessary
or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including without limitation the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, no amendment
or modification of an outstanding Award may adversely affect the rights of the recipient of such Award without his or her consent.
An amendment or modification to an Award that is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or that does not adversely
affect the rights of the recipient of such Award may be made without the consent of such recipient.


 


	15.	Notices
    and Other Communications


 


Any
notice, demand, request or other communication hereunder to any party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written
instrument delivered in person or duly sent by first class registered, certified or overnight mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile
with a confirmation copy by regular, certified or overnight mail, addressed or sent by facsimile, as the case may be, (i) if to
the recipient of an Award, at his or her residence address last filed with the Company, and (ii) if to the Company, at its principal
place of business or to such other address or facsimile number, as the addressee may have designated by notice to the addressor.
All such notices, requests, demands and other communications shall be deemed to have been received: (x) in the case of personal
delivery, on the date of such delivery, (y) in the case of mailing, when received by the addressee, and (z) in the case of facsimile
transmission, when confirmed by facsimile machine report.

laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
