order to attract and retain such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company or of an Affiliate and to provide
additional incentive for them to promote the success of the Company or of an Affiliate. The Plan provides for the granting of ISOs,
Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants and Stock-Based Awards.


 


		3.	SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.



 


(a) 
The number of Shares which may be issued from time to time pursuant to this Plan shall be the sum of: (i) 1,275,000 shares of
Common Stock and (ii) any shares of Common Stock that are represented by awards granted under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive
Plan and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan that are forfeited, expire or are cancelled without delivery
of shares of Common Stock or which result in the forfeiture of shares of Common Stock back to the Company on or after May 31, 2018, or

tax withholding obligation is satisfied by the tender or withholding of Shares, the number of Shares deemed to have been issued under
the Plan for purposes of the limitation set forth in Paragraph 3(a) above shall be the number of Shares that were subject to the Stock
Right or portion thereof, and not the net number of Shares actually issued. In addition, Shares repurchased by the Company with the proceeds
of the option exercise price may not be reissued under the Plan. However, in the case of ISOs, the foregoing provisions shall be subject
to any limitations under the Code.


 




    	 	A-3	 



     


    

		4.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.



 


The Administrator
of the Plan will be the Board of Directors, except to the extent the Board of Directors delegates its authority to the Committee, in which
case the Committee shall be the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to:


 


(a) 
Interpret the provisions of the Plan and all Stock Rights and to make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan;


 


(b)
Determine which Employees, directors and Consultants shall be granted Stock Rights;


 


(c) 
Determine the number of Shares for which a Stock Right or Stock Rights shall be granted, provided however that in no event shall
Stock Rights to be granted to any non-employee director under the Plan in any calendar year exceed an aggregate grant date fair value
of $100,000 except that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) awards made pursuant to an election by a non-employee director
to receive an award in lieu of cash for all or a portion of cash fees to be received for service on the Board or any Committee thereof
and (ii) in connection with a non-employee director initially joining the Board of Directors;


 


(d)
Specify the terms and conditions upon which a Stock Right or Stock Rights may be granted;


 


(e) 
Amend any term or condition of any outstanding Stock Right, other than reducing the exercise price or purchase price or extending
the expiration date of an Option, provided that (i) such term or condition as amended is not prohibited by the Plan; (ii) any such amendment
shall not impair the rights of a Participant under any Stock Right previously granted without such Participant’s consent or in the
event of death of the Participant the Participant’s Survivors; and (iii) any such amendment shall be made only after the Administrator
determines whether such amendment would cause any adverse tax consequences to the Participant, including, but not limited to, the annual
vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code and described in Paragraph 6(b)(iv) below with respect to ISOs and pursuant
to Section 409A of the Code;


 


(f) 
Determine and make any adjustments in the Performance Goals included in any Performance-Based Awards; and


 


(g) 
Adopt any sub-plans applicable to residents of any specified jurisdiction as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply
with or take advantage of any tax or other laws applicable to the Company, any Affiliate or to Participants or to otherwise facilitate
the administration of the Plan, which sub-plans may include additional restrictions or conditions applicable to Stock Rights or Shares
issuable pursuant to a Stock Right;


 


provided, however,
that all such interpretations, rules, determinations, terms and conditions shall be made and prescribed in the context of potential tax
consequences under Section 409A of the Code and preserving the tax status under Section 422 of the Code of those Options which are designated
as ISOs. Subject to the foregoing, the interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock
Right granted under it shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the Administrator is the Committee. In
addition, if the Administrator is the Committee, the Board of Directors may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the
responsibility of the Committee.


 


To the extent
permitted under applicable law, the Board of Directors or the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers
to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any other person selected
by it. The Board of Directors or the Committee may revoke any such allocation or delegation at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
only the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be authorized to grant a Stock Right to any director of the Company or to any “officer”
of the Company as defined by Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act.


 


		5.	ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.



 


The Administrator
will, in its sole discretion, name the Participants in the Plan; provided, however, that each Participant must be an Employee, director
or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate at the time a Stock Right is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator
may authorize the grant of a Stock Right to a person not then an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate; provided,
however, that the actual grant of such Stock Right shall be conditioned upon such person becoming eligible to become a Participant at
or prior to the time of the execution of the Agreement evidencing such Stock Right. ISOs may be granted only to Employees who are deemed
to be residents of the United States for tax purposes. Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants and Stock-Based Awards may be granted to any
Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. The granting of any Stock Right to any individual shall neither entitle
that individual to, nor disqualify him or her from, participation in any other grant of Stock Rights or any grant under any other benefit
plan established by the Company or any Affiliate for Employees, directors or Consultants.

year does not exceed $100,000.


 


		7.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK GRANTS.



 


Each Stock Grant
to a Participant shall state the principal terms in an Agreement duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested
by the Company, by the Participant. The Agreement shall be in a form approved by the Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions
which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards:

the purchase price therefor, if any; and


 


(d) 
Dividends (other than stock dividends to be issued pursuant to Section 25 of the Plan) may accrue but shall not be paid prior to
the time, and may be paid only to the extent that the restrictions or rights to reacquire the Shares subject to the Stock Grant lapse.


 


		8.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS.



 


The
Administrator shall have the right to grant other Stock-Based Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as
the Administrator may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of Shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of
securities convertible into Shares and the grant of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards or stock units. The principal
terms of each Stock-Based Award shall be set forth in an Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law
or requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Agreement shall be in a form approved by the Administrator and shall contain
terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate
and in the best interest of the Company. Each Agreement shall include the terms of any right of the Company including the right to terminate
the Stock-Based Award without the issuance of Shares, the terms of any vesting conditions, Performance Goals or events upon which Shares
shall be issued, provided that dividends (other than stock dividends to be issued pursuant to Section 25 of the Plan) or dividend equivalents
may accrue but shall not be paid prior to and may be paid only to the extent that the Shares subject to the Stock-Based Award vest. Under
no circumstances may the Agreement covering stock appreciation rights (a) have an exercise or base price (per share) that is less than
the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant or (b) expire more than ten years following the date of grant.




    	 	A-6	 



     


    

 


The Company intends
that the Plan and any Stock-Based Awards granted hereunder be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code or meet the requirements
of paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of subsection (a) of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable, and be operated in accordance
with Section 409A so that any compensation deferred under any Stock-Based Award (and applicable investment earnings) shall not be included
in income under Section 409A of the Code. Any ambiguities in the Plan shall be construed to effect the intent as described in this Paragraph
8.


 


		9.	PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS.



 


The Committee
shall determine whether, with respect to a performance period, the applicable Performance Goals have been met with respect to a given
Participant and, if they have, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance-Based Award. No Performance-Based
Awards will be issued for such performance period until such certification is made by the Committee. The number of Shares issued in respect
of a Performance-Based Award determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such performance period, and any dividends (other than stock dividends to be
issued pursuant to Section 25 of the Plan) or dividend equivalents that accrue shall only be paid in respect of the number of Shares earned
in respect of such Performance-Based Award.


 


		10.	EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND ISSUE OF SHARES.



 


An Option (or
any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company or its designee (in a form acceptable to the
Administrator, which may include electronic notice), together with provision for payment of the aggregate exercise price in accordance
with this Paragraph for the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, and upon compliance with any other condition(s) set forth
in the Option Agreement. Such notice shall be signed by the person exercising the Option (which signature may be provided electronically
in a form acceptable to the Administrator), shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall
contain any representation required by the Plan or the Option Agreement. Payment of the exercise price for the Shares as to which such
Option is being exercised shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check; or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator,
through delivery of shares of Common Stock held for at least six months (if required to avoid negative accounting treatment) having a
Fair Market Value equal as of the date of the exercise to the aggregate cash exercise price for the number of Shares as to which the Option
is being exercised; or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by having the Company retain from the Shares otherwise issuable upon
exercise of the Option, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of exercise to the aggregate exercise price
for the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised; or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with
a cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm, and approved by the Administrator; or (e) at the discretion
of the Administrator, by any combination of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above or (f) at the discretion of the Administrator, by payment of such
other lawful consideration as the Administrator may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall accept only such
payment on exercise of an ISO as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code.


 


The Company shall
then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Option was exercised to the Participant (or to the Participant’s Survivors,
as the case may be). In determining what constitutes “reasonably promptly,” it is expressly understood that the issuance and
delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without limitation, state
securities or “blue sky” laws) which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance.
The Shares shall, upon delivery, be fully paid, non-assessable Shares.


 




    	 	A-7	 



     


    

		11.	PAYMENT
                                            IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUANCE OF STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS AND ISSUE OF SHARES.



 


Any Stock Grant
or Stock-Based Award requiring payment of a purchase price for the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award is being granted
shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check; or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares
of Common Stock held for at least six months (if required to avoid negative accounting treatment) and having a Fair Market Value equal
as of the date of payment to the purchase price of the Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award; or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator,
by any combination of (a) and (b) above; or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, by payment of such other lawful consideration
as the Administrator may determine.


 


The Company shall
when required by the applicable Agreement, reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award was
made to the Participant (or to the Participant’s Survivors, as the case may be), subject to any escrow provision set forth in the
applicable Agreement. In determining what constitutes “reasonably promptly,” it is expressly understood that the issuance
and delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without limitation,
state securities or “blue sky” laws) which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their
issuance.


 


		12.	RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.



 


No Participant
to whom a Stock Right has been granted shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Stock Right except
after due exercise of an Option or issuance of Shares as set forth in any Agreement, tender of the aggregate exercise or purchase price,
if any, for the Shares being purchased and registration of the Shares in the Company’s share register in the name of the Participant.


 


		13.	ASSIGNABILITY AND TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK RIGHTS.



 


By its
terms, a Stock Right granted to a Participant shall not be transferable by the Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, or (ii) as approved by the Administrator in its discretion and set forth in the applicable Agreement
provided that no Stock Right may be transferred by a Participant for value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an ISO transferred except
in compliance with clause (i) above shall no longer qualify as an ISO. The designation of a beneficiary of a Stock Right by a
Participant, with the prior approval of the Administrator and in such form as the Administrator shall prescribe, shall not be deemed
a transfer prohibited by this Paragraph. Except as provided above during the Participant’s lifetime a Stock Right shall only
be exercisable by or issued to such Participant (or his or her legal representative) and shall not be assigned, pledged or
hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of any Stock Right or of any rights granted
thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon a Stock Right, shall be
null and void.


 


		14.	EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN FOR
CAUSE OR DEATH OR DISABILITY.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an Employee, director or Consultant)
with the Company or an Affiliate before the Participant has exercised an Option, the following rules apply:


 


(a) 
A Participant who ceases to be an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any reason other than
termination for Cause, Disability, or death for which events there are special rules in Paragraphs 15, 16, and 17, respectively), may
exercise any Option granted to him or her to the extent that the Option is exercisable on the date of such termination of service, but
only within such term as the Administrator has designated in a Participant’s Option Agreement.


 


(b) 
Except as provided in Subparagraph (c) below, or Paragraph 16 or 17, in no event may an Option intended to be an ISO, be exercised
later than three months after the Participant’s termination of employment.




    	 	A-8	 



     


    

 


(c) 
The provisions of this Paragraph, and not the provisions of Paragraph 16 or 17, shall apply to a Participant who subsequently becomes
Disabled or dies after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy; provided, however, in the case of a Participant’s
Disability or death within three months after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy, the Participant or the Participant’s
Survivors may exercise the Option within one year after the date of the Participant’s termination of service, but in no event after
the date of expiration of the term of the Option.


 


(d) 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to a Participant’s termination of employment, termination
of director status or termination of consultancy, but prior to the exercise of an Option, the Administrator determines that, either prior
or subsequent to the Participant’s termination, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then such Participant
shall forthwith cease to have any right to exercise any Option.


 


(e) 
A Participant to whom an Option has been granted under the Plan who is absent from the Company or an Affiliate because of temporary
disability (any disability other than a Disability as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall
not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated such Participant’s employment,
director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide; provided,
however, that, for ISOs, any leave of absence granted by the Administrator of greater than three months, unless pursuant to a contract
or statute that guarantees the right to reemployment, shall cause such ISO to become a Non-Qualified Option on the date that is six months
following the commencement of such leave of absence.


 


(f) 
Except as required by law or as set forth in a Participant’s Option Agreement, Options granted under the Plan shall not be
affected by any change of a Participant’s status within or among the Company and any Affiliates, so long as the Participant continues
to be an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.


 


		15.	EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR CAUSE.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant’s service (whether as an Employee,
director or Consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause prior to the time that all his or her outstanding Options
have been exercised:


 


(a) 
All outstanding and unexercised Options as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated for Cause will
immediately be forfeited.


 


(b) 
Cause is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that
the Administrator’s finding of Cause occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant’s
termination of service but prior to the exercise of an Option, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination
the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then the right to exercise any Option is forfeited.


 


		16.	EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.



 


Except as otherwise provided
in a Participant’s Option Agreement:


 


(a) 
A Participant who ceases to be an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability may
exercise any Option granted to such Participant to the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised on the
date of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability; and in the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically,
to the extent of a pro rata portion through the date of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability of any additional
vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based
upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of service due
to Disability.


 


(b) 
A Disabled Participant may exercise the Option only within the period ending one year after the date of the Participant’s
termination of service due to Disability, notwithstanding that the Participant might have been able to exercise the Option as to some
or all of the Shares on a later date if the Participant
had not been terminated due to Disability and had continued to be an Employee, director or Consultant or, if earlier, within the originally
prescribed term of the Option.


 




    	 	A-9	 



     


    

  


(c) 
The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a
procedure for such determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure
shall be used for such determination). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the Administrator,
the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company.


 


		17.	EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.



 


Except as otherwise provided
in a Participant’s Option Agreement:


 


(a) 
In the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an
Affiliate, such Option may be exercised by the Participant’s Survivors to the extent that the Option has become exercisable but
has not been exercised on the date of death; and in the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro
rata portion through the date of death of any additional vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant
not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the Participant’s
date of death.


 


(b) 
If the Participant’s Survivors wish to exercise the Option, they must take all necessary steps to exercise the Option within
one year after the date of death of such Participant, notwithstanding that the decedent might have been able to exercise the Option as
to some or all of the Shares on a later date if he or she had not died and had continued to be an Employee, director or Consultant or,
if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.


 


		18.	EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE ON UNACCEPTED STOCK GRANTS
AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS.



 


In the event of
a termination of service (whether as an Employee, director or Consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason before the Participant
has accepted a Stock Grant or a Stock-Based Award and paid the purchase price, if required, such grant shall terminate.


 


For purposes of this Paragraph
18 and Paragraph 19 below, a Participant to whom a Stock Grant or a Stock-Based Award has been issued under the Plan who is absent from
work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary disability (any disability other than a Disability as defined in Paragraph
1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such
absence alone, to have terminated such Participant’s employment, director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate,
except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide.


 


In addition, for
purposes of this Paragraph 18 and Paragraph 19 below, any change of employment or other service within or among the Company and any Affiliates
shall not be treated as a termination of employment, director status or consultancy so long as the Participant continues to be an Employee,
director or Consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.


 


		19.	EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS OF TERMINATION
OF SERVICE OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE, DEATH OR DISABILITY.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in a Participant’s Agreement, in the event of a termination of service for any reason (whether as an Employee, director
or Consultant), other than termination for Cause, death or Disability for which there are special rules in Paragraphs 20, 21, and 22 below,
before all forfeiture provisions or Company rights of repurchase shall have lapsed, then the Company shall have the right to cancel or
repurchase that number of Shares subject to a Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award as to which the Company’s forfeiture or repurchase
rights have not lapsed.




    	 	A-10	 



     


    

		20.	EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS OF TERMINATION
OF SERVICE FOR CAUSE.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in a Participant’s Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant’s service (whether as an Employee, director
or Consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause:


 


(a) 
All Shares subject to any Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award that remain subject to forfeiture provisions or as to which the Company
shall have a repurchase right shall be immediately forfeited to the Company as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service
is terminated for Cause.


 


(b) 
Cause is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that
the Administrator’s finding of Cause occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant’s
termination of service, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination the Participant engaged in conduct which
would constitute Cause, then all Shares subject to any Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award that remained subject to forfeiture provisions
or as to which the Company had a repurchase right on the date of termination shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.


 


		21.	EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS OF TERMINATION
OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in a Participant’s Agreement, the following rules apply if a Participant ceases to be an Employee, director or Consultant
of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability: to the extent the forfeiture provisions or the Company’s rights of repurchase
have not lapsed on the date of Disability, they shall be exercisable; provided, however, that in the event such forfeiture provisions
or rights of repurchase lapse periodically, such provisions or rights shall lapse to the extent of a pro rata portion of the Shares subject
to such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award through the date of Disability as would have lapsed had the Participant not become Disabled.
The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued prior to the date of Disability.


 


The Administrator
shall make the determination both as to whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure for such determination
is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure shall be used for such determination).
If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination
shall be paid for by the Company.


 


		22.	EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS OF DEATH WHILE
AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in a Participant’s Agreement, the following rules apply in the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant
is an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate: to the extent the forfeiture provisions or the Company’s
rights of repurchase have not lapsed on the date of death, they shall be exercisable; provided, however, that in the event such forfeiture
provisions or rights of repurchase lapse periodically, such provisions or rights shall lapse to the extent of a pro rata portion of the
Shares subject to such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award through the date of death as would have lapsed had the Participant not died. The
proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued prior to the Participant’s date of death.


 


		23.	PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.



 


Unless the offering
and sale of the Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue
Shares under the Plan unless and until the following conditions have been fulfilled:


 


(a) 
The person who receives a Stock Right shall warrant to the Company, prior to the receipt of Shares, that such person is acquiring
such Shares for his or her own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any
such Shares, in which event the person acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend (or a legend in
substantially similar form) which shall be endorsed upon the certificate evidencing the Shares issued pursuant to such exercise or such
grant of a Stock Right:




    	 	A-11	 



     


    

 


“The shares
represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including
a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under
such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”


 


(b) 
At the discretion of the Administrator, the Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued
in compliance with the Securities Act without registration thereunder.


 


		24.	DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY.



 


Upon the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options granted under this Plan which as of such date shall not have been exercised
and all Stock Grants and Stock-Based Awards which have not been accepted, to the extent required under the applicable Agreement,
will terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of a Participant or a Participant’s Survivors
have not otherwise terminated and expired, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors will have the right immediately
prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise or accept any Stock Right to the extent that the Stock Right is exercisable or
subject to acceptance as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company, any outstanding Stock-Based Awards shall immediately terminate unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or
specifically provided in the applicable Agreement.


 


		25.	ADJUSTMENTS.



 


Upon the occurrence
of any of the following events, a Participant’s rights with respect to any Stock Right granted to him or her hereunder shall be
adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in a Participant’s Agreement.


 


(a) 
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller
number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, or (ii)
additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect
to such shares of Common Stock, each Stock Right and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable thereunder shall be appropriately
increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made including, in the exercise, base or purchase price per
share and in the Performance Goals applicable to outstanding Performance-Based Awards to reflect such events. The number of Shares subject
to the limitations in Paragraph 3(a) and 4(c) shall also be proportionately adjusted upon the occurrence of such events.


 


(b) 
Corporate Transactions. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a Corporate Transaction,
the Administrator or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”),
shall, as to outstanding Options, either: (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable
basis for the Shares then subject to such Options either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock
in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants,
provide that such Options must be exercised (either (A) to the extent then exercisable or (B) at the discretion of the Administrator,
any such Options being made partially or fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph), within a specified number of days of the
date of such notice, at the end of which period such Options which have not been exercised shall terminate; or (iii) terminate such Options
in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such Corporate Transaction to a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Option would have been exercisable (either (A) to the extent then exercisable or,
(B) at the discretion of the Administrator, any such Options being made partially or fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph)
less the aggregate exercise price thereof. For purposes of determining the payments to be made pursuant to Subclause (iii) above, in the
case of a Corporate Transaction the consideration for which, in whole or in part, is other than cash, the consideration other than cash
shall be valued at the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.


 




    	 	A-12	 



     


    

 


With respect to
outstanding Stock Grants, the Administrator or the Successor Board, shall make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Stock
Grants on the same terms and conditions by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Stock Grants either
the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities
of any successor or acquiring entity. In lieu of the foregoing, in connection with any Corporate Transaction, the Administrator may provide
that, upon consummation of the Corporate Transaction, each outstanding Stock Grant shall be terminated in exchange for payment of an amount
equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such Corporate Transaction to a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
comprising such Stock Grant (to the extent such Stock Grant is no longer subject to any forfeiture or repurchase rights then in effect
or, at the discretion of the Administrator, all forfeiture and repurchase rights being waived upon such Corporate Transaction).


 


In taking any
of the actions permitted under this Paragraph 25(b), the Administrator shall not be obligated by the Plan to treat all Stock Rights, all
Stock Rights held by a Participant, or all Stock Rights of the same type, identically.


 


(c) 
Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company other than a Corporate
Transaction pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, a Participant upon exercising an Option or accepting a Stock Grant after the recapitalization or reorganization shall be
entitled to receive for the price paid upon such exercise or acceptance if any, the number of replacement securities which would have
been received if such Option had been exercised or Stock Grant accepted prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.


 


(d) 
Adjustments to Stock-Based Awards. Upon the happening of any of the events described in Subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) above,
any outstanding Stock-Based Award shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such Subparagraphs. The Administrator
or the Successor Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this Paragraph 25, including, but not limited to the
effect of any, Corporate Transaction and, subject to Paragraph 4, its determination shall be conclusive.


 


(e) 
Modification of Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) above
with respect to Options shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such adjustments would (i) constitute a “modification”
of any ISOs (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or (ii) cause any adverse tax consequences for the holders of Options,
including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments made with respect
to Options would constitute a modification or other adverse tax consequence, it may in its discretion refrain from making such adjustments,
unless the holder of an Option specifically agrees in writing that such adjustment be made and such writing indicates that the holder
has full knowledge of the consequences of such “modification” on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the Option.
This paragraph shall not apply to the acceleration of the vesting of any ISO that would cause any portion of the ISO to violate the annual
vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Paragraph 6(b)(iv).


 


(f) 
Change of Control. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute the Stock Right as set forth
in this Paragraph 25, the Participant shall fully vest and become exercisable or earned, if applicable, in each outstanding Stock Right
as to which it would not otherwise be vested, exercisable or earned. If a Stock Right becomes fully vested and exercisable or earned,
as applicable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Corporate Transaction or Change of Control, the Administrator shall
notify each Participant in writing or electronically that (i) the Stock Right shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period determined
by the Administrator, and all outstanding Stock Rights shall terminate upon the expiration of such period and (ii) any Stock Rights to
which shares or other payment shall be due shall be paid out immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction or Change of Control as if
fully vested or earned. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Stock Right shall be considered assumed if, following the Corporate Transaction
or Change of Control, the assumed Stock Right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to a Stock Right immediately
prior to the Corporate Transaction or Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction or Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common
Stock they hold on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders are offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received
in the Corporate Transaction or Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator
may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise (or payout or vesting,
as applicable) of the Stock Right, for each Share subject to the Stock Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction
or Change of Control.




    	 	A-13	 



     


    

 


		26.	ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES.



 


Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Stock Rights.
Except as expressly provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property (including without limitation,
securities) of the Company prior to any issuance of Shares pursuant to a Stock Right.


 


		27.	FRACTIONAL SHARES.



 


No fractional
shares shall be issued under the Plan and the person exercising a Stock Right shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional
shares equal to the Fair Market Value thereof.


 


		28.	WITHHOLDING.



 


In the event that
any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes, Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholdings or other amounts are required
by applicable law or governmental regulation to be withheld from the Participant’s salary, wages or other remuneration in connection
with the issuance of a Stock Right or Shares under the Plan or for any other reason required by law, the Company may withhold from the
Participant’s compensation, if any, or may require that the Participant advance in cash to the Company, or to any Affiliate of the
Company which employs or employed the Participant, the statutory minimum amount of such withholdings unless a different withholding arrangement,
including the use of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a promissory note, is authorized by the Administrator (and permitted
by law). For purposes hereof, the fair market value of the shares withheld for purposes of payroll withholding shall be determined in
the manner set forth under the definition of Fair Market Value provided in Paragraph 1 above, as of the most recent practicable date prior
to the date of exercise. If the Fair Market Value of the shares withheld is less than the amount of payroll withholdings required, the
Participant may be required to advance the difference in cash to the Company or the Affiliate employer.


 


		29.	NOTICE TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION.



 


Each Employee
who receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any
Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. A Disqualifying Disposition is defined in Section 424(c) of the Code and includes
any disposition (including any sale or gift) of such Shares before the later of (a) two years after the date the Employee was granted
the ISO, or (b) one year after the date the Employee acquired Shares by exercising the ISO, except as otherwise provided in Section 424(c)
of the Code. If the Employee has died before such Shares are sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying
Disposition can occur thereafter.


 


		30.	TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.



 


The Plan will
terminate on March 29, 2028, the date which is ten years from the earlier of the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors and the
date of its approval by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the shareholders or
the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not affect any Agreements executed prior
to the effective date of such termination. Termination of the Plan shall not affect any Stock Rights theretofore granted.


 




    	 	A-14	 



     


    

		31.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AGREEMENTS.



 


The Plan may be amended
by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may also be amended by the Administrator; provided that any amendment approved by the Administrator
which the Administrator determines is of a scope that requires shareholder approval shall be subject to obtaining such shareholder approval
including, without limitation, to the extent necessary to qualify any or all outstanding Stock Rights granted under the Plan or Stock
Rights to be granted under the Plan for favorable federal income tax treatment as may be afforded ISOs under Section 422 of the Code and
to the extent necessary to qualify the Shares issuable under the Plan for listing on any national securities exchange or quotation in
any national automated quotation system of securities dealers. Other than as set forth in Paragraph 25 of the Plan, the Administrator
may not without shareholder approval reduce the exercise price of an Option or cancel any outstanding Option in exchange for a replacement
option having a lower exercise price, any Stock Grant, any other Stock-Based Award or for cash. In addition, the Administrator not take
any other action that is considered a direct or indirect “repricing” for purposes of the shareholder approval rules of the
applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares are listed, including any other action that is treated
as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles. Any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent
of a Participant, adversely affect his or her rights under a Stock Right previously granted to him or her, unless such amendment is required
by applicable law or necessary to preserve the economic value of such Stock Right. With the consent of the Participant affected, the Administrator
may amend outstanding Agreements in a manner which may be adverse to the Participant but which is not inconsistent with the Plan. In the
discretion of the Administrator, outstanding Agreements may be amended by the Administrator in a manner which is not adverse to the Participant.
Nothing in this Paragraph 31 shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Paragraph 25.


 


		32.	EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP.



 


Nothing in this
Plan or any Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Company or an Affiliate from terminating the employment, consultancy or director
status of a Participant, nor to prevent a Participant from terminating his or her own employment, consultancy or director status or to
give any Participant a right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Affiliate for any period of time.


 


		33.	SECTION 409A.



 


If a
Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code (and as applied according to procedures of
the Company and its Affiliates) as of his separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Plan or pursuant to the
grant of a Stock-Based Award constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section
409A of the Code), and to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, no payments due under this Plan or pursuant to a
Stock-Based Award may be made until the earlier of: (i) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s
separation from service, or (ii) the Participant’s date of death; provided, however, that any payments delayed during this
six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month following the
Participant’s separation from service.


 


The Administrator
shall administer the Plan with a view toward ensuring that Stock Rights under the Plan that are subject to Section 409A of the Code comply
with the requirements thereof and that Options under the Plan be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, but neither
the Administrator nor any member of the Board, nor the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any other person acting hereunder on behalf
of the Company, the Administrator or the Board shall be liable to a Participant or any Survivor by reason of the acceleration of any income,
or the imposition of any additional tax or penalty, with respect to a Stock Right, whether by reason of a failure to satisfy the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code or otherwise.


 


		34.	INDEMNITY.



 


Neither the Board
nor the Administrator, nor any members of either, nor any employees of the Company or any parent, subsidiary, or other Affiliate, shall
be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with their responsibilities
with respect to this Plan, and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the members of the Board, the members of the Committee,
and the employees of the Company and its parent or subsidiaries in respect of any claim, loss, damage, or expense (including reasonable
counsel fees) arising from any such act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination to the full extent permitted by law.




    	 	A-15	 



     


    

  


		35.	CLAWBACK.



 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Company may recover from a Participant any compensation received from any Stock Right
(whether or not settled) or cause a Participant to forfeit any Stock Right (whether or not vested) in the event that the Company’s
Clawback Policy as then in effect is triggered.


 


		36.	GOVERNING LAW.



 


This Plan shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware.


 






    	 	A-16
