SECTION
2.    Administration


 


(a)              
Committee. This Plan shall be administered by the Board directly, or if the Board elects, by the Compensation Committee
or such other committee of the Board as the Board may from time to time designate, which committee shall be composed of not fewer than
two (2) directors, and shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board. All references in this Plan to the “Committee”
refer to the Board as a whole, unless a separate committee has been designated or authorized consistent with the foregoing.


 


Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Plan, the Committee shall have absolute authority:


 


(i)             To
select the Eligible Individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted;


 


(ii)            To
determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock,
Restricted Stock Units, Other Stock-Based Awards, Cash Awards or any combination thereof are to be granted hereunder;


 


(iii)           To
determine the number of Shares to be covered by an Award or the amount of any Cash Award;

exercise price and any vesting condition, restriction or limitation;

(v)            To modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions (including any Performance Goals) of any Award;


 


(vi)           To
determine to what extent and under what circumstances Shares or cash payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred;


 


(vii)          To determine under what circumstances an Award may be settled in cash, Shares, other property or a combination of the foregoing;


 


(viii)         To
adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing this Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable;


 


(ix)            To establish any “blackout” period that the Committee in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable;


 


(x)             To
interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan and any Award issued under this Plan (and any Award Agreement relating thereto);


 


(xi)            To decide all other matters that must be determined in connection with an Award; and


 


(xii)           To
otherwise administer this Plan.


 


(b)              
Procedures.


 


(i)              The
Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office, except that the Committee may, except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable Exchange, allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to
any one (1) or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected
by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.


 


(ii)             Any
authority granted to the Committee may be exercised by the full Board. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts
with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control.


 


(c)               Discretion
of Committee. Subject to Section 1(h), any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority under the
provisions of this Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegate at the time
of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of this Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made
by the Committee or any appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall be final, binding and
conclusive on all persons, including the Company, Participants and Eligible Individuals. Any determination made by the Committee or
pursuant to delegated authority under the provisions of this Plan, including conditions for grant or vesting and the adjustment of
Awards pursuant to Section 3(d) need not be the same for each Participant.


 






    -6- 


     


    

 


(d)              
Cancellation or Suspension. Subject to Section 5(c), the Committee shall have full power and authority to determine
whether, to what extent and under what circumstances any Award shall be canceled or suspended.


 


(e)              
Award Agreements. The terms and conditions of each Award, as determined by the Committee, shall be set forth
in a written (or electronic) Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant receiving such Award upon, or as promptly as
is reasonably practicable following, the grant of such Award. The effectiveness of an Award shall be subject to the Participant’s
acceptance of the applicable Award Agreement within the time period specified therein (if any).


 


(f)               
Section 16(b). The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that no transaction under this Plan is subject
to (and all such transactions shall be exempt from) the short-swing recovery rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (“Section
16(b)”). Accordingly, the composition of the Committee shall be subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate to
permit transactions pursuant to this Plan to be exempt (pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) from Section 16(b),
and no delegation of authority by the Committee shall be permitted if such delegation would cause any such transaction to be subject to
(and not exempt from) Section 16(b).


 


SECTION
3.    Common Stock Subject to Plan; Other Limits


 


(a)               Plan
Maximums. The maximum number of Shares that may be granted pursuant to Awards under this Plan shall be [●]1 (the
 “Share Reserve”); provided that on January 1, 2024 and on each
January 1 thereafter until January 1, 2031, the Share Reserve shall automatically increase by an amount equal to 2% of the total
number of Shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year and (or such lesser number as determined by the
Committee).  The maximum number of Shares that may be granted pursuant to Stock Options intended to be Incentive Stock
Options shall be equal to the Share Reserve. Shares subject to an Award under this Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares. On
and after the Effective Date, no new Awards may be granted under the Company’s prior equity compensation plans, it being
understood that (x) Awards outstanding under any such plans as of the Effective Date shall remain in full force and effect
under such plans according to their respective terms, and (y) to the extent that any such award is forfeited, terminates, expires or
lapses without being exercised (to the extent applicable), or is settled for cash, the Shares subject to such award not delivered as
a result thereof shall again be available for Awards under this Plan; provided, however, that dividend equivalents may
continue to be issued under the Company’s existing equity compensation plans in respect of Awards granted under such plans
which are outstanding as of the Effective Date.


 





 






1 Note to Draft: The
Share Reserve will be 6% of the fully diluted shares pro forma as of the closing, less shares outstanding under equity awards rolling
over in connection with the transaction (which will not use shares under this Plan).


 






    -7- 


     


    

 





(b)              
Individual Limits. No Participant who is a non-employee director of the Company may be granted during any calendar
year Awards covering Shares with a grant date fair value in excess of $500,000.


 


(c)              
Rules for Calculating Shares Issued. To the extent that any Award is forfeited, terminates, expires or lapses instead
of being exercised, or any Award is settled for cash, the Shares subject to such Award that are not delivered as a result thereof shall
again be available for Awards under this Plan. If the exercise price of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right and/or the tax withholding
obligations relating to any Award are satisfied by delivering Shares (either actually or through a signed document affirming the Participant’s
ownership and delivery of such Shares) or withholding Shares relating to such Award, the gross number of Shares subject to the Award shall
nonetheless be deemed to have been granted for purposes of the first sentence of Section 3(a).


 


(d)              
Adjustment Provisions.


 


(i)                 In
the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, stock rights offering, liquidation, disposition for
consideration of the Company’s direct or indirect ownership of a Subsidiary or Affiliate (including by reason of a
Disaffiliation), or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Corporate
Transaction”), the Committee or the Board may in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems
appropriate and equitable to (A) the limits set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b); (B) the number and kind of Shares or
other securities subject to outstanding Awards; (C) the Performance Goals applicable to outstanding Awards; (D) the number of
Shares considered delivered based on the type of Award granted as set forth in Section 3(c); and (E) the exercise price of
outstanding Awards. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, such adjustments may include (I) the cancellation of outstanding
Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such
Awards, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the event of a Corporate Transaction with
respect to which shareholders of Common Stock receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate
surviving entity, any such determination by the Committee that the value of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall for
this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each Share pursuant to such
Corporate Transaction over the exercise price of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed conclusively valid);
(II) the substitution of other property (including cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other
than the Company) for the Shares subject to outstanding Awards; and (III) in connection with any Disaffiliation, arranging for
the assumption of Awards, or replacement of Awards with new awards based on other property or other securities (including other
securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division or
by the entity that controls such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding
adjustments to Awards that remain based upon Company securities).


 






    -8- 


     


    

 


(ii)             In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, share combination, or recapitalization or similar
event affecting the capital structure of the Company, or a Disaffiliation, separation or spinoff, in each case without consideration,
or other extraordinary dividend of cash or other property to the Company’s shareholders, the Committee or the Board shall make such
substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to (A) the limits set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b); (B) the
number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards; (C) the Performance Goals applicable to outstanding
Awards; (D) the number of Shares considered delivered based on the type of Award granted as set forth in Section 3(c); and (E) the
exercise price of outstanding Awards.


 


(iii)           Any
adjustments made pursuant to this Section 3(d) to Awards that are considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject
to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Any adjustments
made pursuant to Section 3(d) to Awards that are not considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A
of the Code shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustments, either (A) the Awards continue not to be subject
to Section 409A of the Code or (B) there does not result in the imposition of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code
in respect of such Awards.


 


SECTION
4.    ELIGIBILITY


 


Awards may be granted under
this Plan to Eligible Individuals; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the

Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall be entitled
to receive an amount in cash or Shares in value equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share over
the exercise price of the applicable Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Stock
Appreciation Right has been exercised. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether such payment is to be made in cash or Shares,

Right.


 






    -9- 


     


    

 


(c)              Exercise Price; Prohibition on Repricing. The exercise price per Share subject to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
Right shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the applicable Grant Date. In no event may any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan be
amended, other than pursuant to Section 3(d), to decrease the exercise price thereof, be cancelled in exchange for cash or other
Awards or in conjunction with the grant of any new Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise price, or otherwise
be subject to any action that would be treated, under the Applicable Exchange listing standards or for accounting purposes, as a “repricing”
of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, unless such amendment, cancellation, or action is approved by the Company’s shareholders.


 


(d)              Term.
The Term of each Stock Option and each Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after its Grant Date.


 


(e)              
Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable

be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the Term thereof in accordance with the methods and procedures established by the
Committee in the Award Agreement or otherwise.


 


(g)              Delivery; Rights of Shareholders. A Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise
of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right until the exercise price therefor has been fully paid and applicable taxes have been withheld.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(k), a Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the number
of Shares deliverable pursuant to such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right (including, if applicable, the right to vote the applicable
Shares), when the Participant (i) has given written notice of exercise, (ii) if requested, has given the representation described in Section
12(a) and (iii) in the case of a Stock Option, has paid in full for such Shares.


 


(h)              
Nontransferability of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. No Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall
be transferable by a Participant other than, for no value or consideration, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise
expressly permitted by the Committee. Any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of this
Plan, only by the Participant, the guardian or legal representative of the Participant, or any person to whom such stock option is transferred
pursuant to this Section 5(h), it being understood that the term “holder” and “Participant” include such guardian,
legal representative and other transferee; provided, however, that the term “Termination of Service” shall continue
to refer to the Termination of Service of the original Participant.


 






    -10- 


     


    





 


(i)                
 Termination of Service. The effect of a Participant’s Termination of Service on any Award of Stock Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights then held by such Participant shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or any other document
approved by the Committee and applicable to such Award.


 


(j)                
Additional Rules for Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no
Stock Option that is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Eligible Individual who at the time of such
grant owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of
any Subsidiary, unless at the time such Stock Option is granted the exercise price is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value of a Share and such Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date such
Stock Option is granted. In addition, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined at the time a Stock Option for the

any Award of Restricted Stock, the applicable Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common
Stock covered by such Award.


 


(c)              
Terms and Conditions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and such
other terms and conditions as are set forth in the applicable Award Agreement (including the vesting or forfeiture provisions applicable
upon a Termination of Service):


 


(i)                
The Committee shall, prior to or at the time of grant, condition (A) the vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock upon the
continued service of the applicable Participant, or (B) the grant or vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock upon the attainment
of Performance Goals or the attainment of Performance Goals and the continued service of the applicable Participant.

transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber an Award of Restricted Stock prior to such time as all applicable vesting conditions are satisfied.


 


(d)              
Rights of a Shareholder. Except as provided in this Section 6 and the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall
have the same rights as any other holder of Shares with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock, including, if applicable, the right to
vote the Shares and the right to receive any dividends; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee
and subject to Section 12(e), (i) cash dividends on Shares shall be payable in cash and shall be held subject to the vesting of the underlying
Restricted Stock and (ii) dividends payable in Shares shall be paid in the form of Restricted Stock, and shall be held subject to the

    -12-


     


    

 


(b)               Terms
and Conditions. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms and

service of the applicable Participant, or (B) the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock Units upon the attainment of Performance Goals
or the attainment of Performance Goals and the continued service of the applicable Participant. An Award of Restricted Stock Units shall
be settled as and when the Restricted Stock Units vest, at a later time specified by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement,
or, if the Committee so permits, in accordance with an election of the Participant.


 


(ii)             
Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign,

Rights of a Shareholder. A Participant to whom Restricted Stock Units are awarded shall have no rights as a shareholder
with respect to the Shares represented by the Restricted Stock Units unless and until Shares are actually delivered to the Participant
in settlement thereof. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and subject to Section 12(e), an Award of Restricted Stock Units
shall be adjusted to reflect deemed reinvestment in additional Restricted Stock Units of the dividends that would be paid and distributions
that would be made with respect to the Award of Restricted Stock Units if it consisted of actual Shares.

the terms of this Plan as the Committee shall determine. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, each such Other Stock-Based

or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares, (b) be subject to performance-based and/or service-based conditions, (c) be
in the form of phantom stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, deferred share units or share-denominated
performance units, or other Awards denominated in, or with a value determined by reference to, a number of Shares that is specified at

SECTION 9.    CASH AWARDS


 


The Committee may grant Awards
to Eligible Individuals that are denominated and payable in cash in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions consistent with
the terms of this Plan as the Committee shall determine. With respect to a Cash Award subject to Performance Goals, the Performance Goals
to be achieved during any performance period and the length of the performance period shall be determined by the Committee upon the grant
of such Cash Award.


 


SECTION
10.      CHANGE-IN-CONTROL PROVISIONS


 


(a)              
General. The provisions of this Section 10 shall, subject to Section 3(d), apply notwithstanding any other provision
of this Plan to the contrary, except to the extent the Committee specifically provides otherwise in an Award Agreement.


 


(b)              
Impact of Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Award Agreement: (i) all then-outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become fully vested and exercisable,
and all Full-Value Awards (other than performance-based Full-Value Awards) and all Cash Awards (other than performance-based Cash Awards)
shall vest in full, be free of restrictions, and be deemed to be earned and payable in an amount equal to the full value of such Award,
except in each case to the extent that another Award meeting the requirements of Section 10(c) (any award meeting the requirements of
Section 10(c), a “Replacement Award”) is provided to the Participant pursuant to Section 3(d) to replace such Award
(any award intended to be replaced by a Replacement Award, a “Replaced Award”), and (ii) any performance-based Full-Value
Award or Cash Award that is not replaced by a Replacement Award shall be deemed to be earned and payable in an amount equal to the full
value of such performance-based Award (with all applicable Performance Goals deemed achieved at the greater of (x) the applicable target
level and (y) the level of achievement as determined by the Committee not later than the date of the Change in Control, taking into
account performance through the latest date preceding the Change in Control as to which performance can, as a practical matter, be determined
(but not later than the end of the applicable performance period)).


 


(c)               Replacement
Awards. An Award shall meet the conditions of this Section 10(c) (and hence qualify as a Replacement Award) if: (i)
it is of the same type as the Replaced Award; (ii) it has a value equal to the value of the Replaced Award as of the date of the
Change in Control, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion consistent with Section 3(d); (iii) the underlying
Replaced Award was an equity-based award, it relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or the entity surviving the
Company following the Change in Control; (iv) it contains terms relating to vesting (including with respect to a Termination of
Service) that are substantially identical to those of the Replaced Award; and (v) its other terms and conditions are not less
favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the
event of a subsequent Change in Control) as of the date of the Change in Control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
a Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the applicable Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding
sentence are satisfied. If a Replacement Award is granted, the Replaced Award shall not vest upon the Change in Control. The
determination of whether the conditions of this Section 10(c) are satisfied shall be made by the Committee, as constituted
immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.


 






    -14-


     


    

 


(d)              
Termination of Service. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary and unless otherwise
determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, upon a Termination of Service of a Participant by the Company
other than for Cause within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, (i) all Replacement Awards held by such Participant
shall vest in full, be free of restrictions, and be deemed to be earned in full (with respect to Performance Goals, unless otherwise agreed
in connection with the Change in Control, at the greater of (x) the applicable target level and (y) the level of achievement of the
Performance Goals for the Award as determined by the Committee taking into account performance through the latest date preceding the Termination
of Service as to which performance can, as a practical matter, be determined (but not later than the end of the applicable performance
period)), and (ii) unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the
contrary, any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by the Participant as of the date of the Change in Control that remains outstanding
as of the date of such Termination of Service may thereafter be exercised until the expiration of the stated full Term of such Nonqualified
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right.


 


(e)              
Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:


 


(i)                
An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”)
of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of thirty percent (30%) or more of either
(1) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (2) the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
(the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection
(i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company; (2) any acquisition
by the Company; (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any entity
controlled by the Company; or (4) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses (1), (2) and (3)
of subsection (iii) of this Section 10(e); or


 






    -15-


     


    

 


(ii)              A
change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the
 “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however,
that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by
the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board
and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such
individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or
other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not be
considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or


 


(iii)           
The consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of
assets or securities of another entity by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Business Combination”), in each
case, unless, following such Business Combination: (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial
owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business
Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
stock (or, for a noncorporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a noncorporate entity, equivalent securities), as the case may be, of the entity
resulting from such Business Combination (including an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more Subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities,
as the case may be; (2) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related
trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, thirty percent
(30%) or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a noncorporate entity, equivalent securities) of
the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity
except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and (3) at least a majority of the members of the
board of directors (or, for a noncorporate entity, equivalent body or committee) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination
were members of the Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business
Combination; or


 


(iv)            
The approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, any Award Agreement or any Individual Agreement, with respect to any Award that constitutes “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control shall not constitute a settlement or
distribution event with respect to such Award, or an event that otherwise changes the timing of settlement or distribution of such
Award, unless the Change in Control also constitutes an event described in Section 409A(a)(2)(v) of the Code and the
regulations thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall have no bearing on whether an Award vests pursuant to the
terms of this Plan or the applicable Award Agreement or Individual Agreement.

Effectiveness. This Plan was approved by the Board on [_______], subject
to and contingent upon approval by the Company’s shareholders. This Plan will be effective as of the date of such approval by the
Company’s shareholders (the “Effective Date”).


 


(b)              
Termination. This Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Awards outstanding
as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of this Plan.


 


(c)              
Amendments. The Committee may amend, alter, or discontinue this Plan or an Award, provided that no amendment,
alteration or discontinuation shall be made that would materially impair the rights of the Participant with respect to a previously granted
Award without such Participant’s consent, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, including Section 409A
of the Code, Applicable Exchange listing standards or accounting rules. In addition, no amendment shall be made without the approval of
the Company’s shareholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable
Exchange or as contemplated by Section 5(c).


 


SECTION
12.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


 


(a)              
Conditions for Issuance. The Committee may require each Person purchasing or receiving Shares pursuant to an Award
to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such Person is acquiring the Shares without a view to the distribution thereof.
The certificates for such Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
any Shares (whether in certificated or book entry form) under this Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (i) listing
or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such Shares on the Applicable Exchange; (ii) any registration or other qualification
of such Shares of the Company under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other
qualification that the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and (iii) obtaining
any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency that the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion
after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

(b)              
 Additional Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees.


 


(c)              
No Contract of Employment. This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of this Plan shall
not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.


 


(d)              
Taxes.


 


(i)                
Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant
for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes with respect to any Award under this Plan, such Participant
shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, withholding
obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement,
having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such
procedures as the Committee establishes. The obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements,
and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise
due to such Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections,
for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock; provided, however, unless otherwise subsequently determined
by the Committee, with respect to a Participant subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the withholding of Shares by the Company or
any of its Affiliates to satisfy tax, exercise price or other withholding obligations in respect of an Award shall be mandatory.


 


(ii)              Section
409A. This Plan and the Awards hereunder are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an
exemption or exclusion therefrom and, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, it is intended that this
Plan be administered in all respects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment under any Award shall be treated as a
separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the
calendar year of any payment to be made under any Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A
of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant is a
 “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology
established by the Company), amounts that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code that otherwise would be payable by reason of a Participant’s Separation from Service during the six (6)-month
period immediately following such Separation from Service shall instead be paid or provided on the first (1st) business day
following the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s Separation from Service or any earlier date permitted by
Section 409A of the Code. If the Participant dies following the Separation from Service and prior to the payment of any amounts
delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s
estate within thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s death.

(e)              
Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted
Stock at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted
Stock Units, shall only be permissible if sufficient Shares are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment or payment (taking
into account then-outstanding Awards). If sufficient Shares are not available for such reinvestment or payment, such reinvestment or payment
shall be made in the form of a grant of Restricted Stock Units equal in number to the Shares that would have been obtained by such payment
or reinvestment, the terms of which Restricted Stock Units shall provide for settlement in cash and for dividend equivalent reinvestment
in further Restricted Stock Units on the terms contemplated by this Section 12(e).


 


(f)               
Designation of Death Beneficiary. The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant
to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of such Participant’s death are to be paid or by whom any rights
of such Eligible Individual, after such Participant’s death, may be exercised.


 


(g)              
Subsidiary Employees. In the case of a grant of an Award to any employee of a Subsidiary, the Company may, if the
Committee so directs, issue or transfer the Shares, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the
Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the employee in accordance
with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. All Shares underlying Awards that are
forfeited or canceled revert to the Company.


 


(h)              
Governing Law and Interpretation. This Plan and all Awards made and actions taken hereunder shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions
of this Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. Whenever the words “include,” “includes”
or “including” are used in this Plan, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “but not limited to” and
the word “or” shall be understood to mean “and/or.”


 


(i)                
Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(h) or as determined by the Committee, Awards
under this Plan are not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution.


 


(j)                 Unfunded
Status of the Plan. It is intended that this Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan. Neither the Company nor the
Committee shall have any obligation to segregate assets or establish a trust or other arrangements to meet the obligations created
under this Plan. Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon contractual
obligation created by this Plan and the Award Agreement. No such obligation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or
encumbrance on the property of the Company.
