1.    Purpose.


 


The purpose of the
Plan is to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants
of the Company and its Affiliates and promoting the creation of long-term value for stockholders of the Company by closely aligning
the interests of such individuals with those of such stockholders. The Plan authorizes the award of Stock- based and cash-based
incentives to Eligible Persons to encourage such Eligible Persons to expend maximum effort in the creation of stockholder value.


 


2.    Definitions.


 


For purposes of the
Plan, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:


 


(a)    “Affiliate”
means, with respect to a Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person.


 


(b)    “Award”
means any Option, award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Stock Appreciation Right, Stock-based or cash-based Performance
Award, or other Stock-based award granted under the Plan.


 


(c)    “Award
Agreement” means an Option Agreement, a Restricted Stock Agreement, an RSU Agreement, a SAR Agreement, a Performance
Award Agreement, or an agreement governing the grant of any other Stock-based Award granted under the Plan.


 


(d)    “Board”
means the Board of Directors of the Company.


 


(e)    “Cause”
shall have the meaning set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or Participant Agreement, provided that if the applicable Award
Agreement or Participant Agreement does not contain such a definition, “Cause” shall mean, (1) the Participant’s
plea of nolo contendere to, conviction of or indictment for, any crime (whether or not involving the Company or its
Affiliates) (i) constituting a felony or (ii) that has, or could reasonably be expected to result in, an adverse impact on the
performance of the Participant’s duties to the Service Recipient, or otherwise has, or could reasonably be expected to result
in, an adverse impact on the business or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates, (2) conduct of the Participant, in connection
with his or her employment or service, that has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in material injury to the
business or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates, (3) any material violation of the Award Agreement, the Participation Agreement,
or any policies of the Service Recipient, including, but not limited to, those relating to sexual harassment or the disclosure

(4) the Participant’s act(s) of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of his or her employment or service
with the Service Recipient; (5) misappropriation by the Participant of any assets or business opportunities of the Company

Participant’s prior actual knowledge; or (7) willful neglect in the performance of the Participant’s duties for
the Service Recipient or willful or repeated failure or refusal to perform such duties. If, subsequent to the Termination of a
Participant for any reason other than by the Service Recipient for Cause, it is discovered that the Participant’s employment
or service could have been terminated for Cause, such Participant’s employment or service shall, at the discretion of the
Committee, be deemed to have been terminated by the Service Recipient for Cause for all purposes under the Plan, and the Participant
shall be required to repay to the Company all amounts received by him or her in respect of any Award following such Termination
that would have been forfeited under the Plan had such Termination been by the Service Recipient for Cause. For the avoidance of
doubt, in the event that there is an Award Agreement or Participant Agreement defining Cause, “Cause” shall
have the meaning provided in such agreement rather than the definition included herein, and a Termination by the Service Recipient
for Cause hereunder shall not be deemed to have occurred unless all applicable notice and cure periods in such Award Agreement
or Participant Agreement are complied with.

by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization (or, if applicable, is represented
by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Reorganization), and such voting power among
the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among holders

of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes
the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increase the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities
beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then be deemed to occur, and (y) with respect to the payment of any
amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code payable upon a Change in Control, a Change
in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred, unless the Change in Control constitutes a change in the ownership or effective
control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v)
of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that there is an Award Agreement or Participant Agreement defining Change

is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, any action or determination by the Committee shall be permitted only to
the extent such action or determination would be permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Plan has been adopted by the Board,
with respect to Awards intended to be “performance-based” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, to comply

(iii) shares delivered to the Company to pay the purchase price related to an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right or
(iv) shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise. The number of shares of Stock

combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate,
using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio of formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine
the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used
for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection
with Awards under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards
could have been made under the terms of such pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to
individuals who were not employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

5.    Options.


 


(a)    General.
Certain Options granted under the Plan may be intended to be Incentive Stock Options; however, no Incentive Stock Options
may be granted hereunder following the 10th anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board
and (ii) the date the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan. Options may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and
having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options
may be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company or an Affiliate (as such definition is limited pursuant
to Section 2(o) hereof) of the Company. The provisions of separate Options shall be set forth in separate Option Agreements, which
agreements need not be identical. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options.


 


(b)    Term.
The term of each Option shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; provided, however, that no Option granted hereunder
shall be exercisable after, and each Option shall expire, ten (10) years from the date it was granted (or five years in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% stockholder).


 


(c)    Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of Stock for each Option shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant and shall not
be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, subject to Section 5(g) hereof in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to a 10% stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the exercise
price per share of Stock for such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that such
exercise price is determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and, if applicable, Section
424(a) of the Code.


 


(d)    Payment
for Stock. Payment for shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Option granted hereunder shall be made in full upon exercise
of the Option in a manner approved by the Committee and set forth in the Option Agreement, which may include any of the following
payment methods: (1) in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s check, (2) by delivery
of shares of Stock having a value equal to the exercise price, (3) by a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with procedures
approved by the Committee, whereby payment of the Option exercise price or tax withholding obligations may be satisfied, in whole
or in part, with shares of Stock subject to the Option by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form
prescribed by the Committee) to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment
of the aggregate exercise price and, if applicable, the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations,
or (4) by any other means approved by the Committee (including, without limitation, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise”
to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall receive the number of shares of Stock underlying the Option so exercised
reduced by the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option divided by the Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Committee determines that any form of payment available
hereunder would be in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, such form of payment shall not be available.


 


(e)    Vesting.
Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other
conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that
notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Option at any time
and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee or in the applicable Award Agreement or Participant
Agreement, the vesting of an Option shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service
Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason. If an Option is exercisable in installments,
such installments or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires, is canceled or
otherwise terminates.


 





(f)    Termination
of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in an Option Agreement, Participant Agreement or otherwise:


 






     9


     


    

 


(1)    In
the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date for any reason other than (i) by the Service
Recipient for Cause, or (ii) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s
Options outstanding shall cease, (B) all of such Participant’s unvested Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited
for no consideration as of the date of such Termination, and (C) all of such Participant’s vested Options outstanding shall
terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date and (y) the date that is ninety
(90) days after the date of such Termination.


 


(2)    In
the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by reason of such Participant’s death
or Disability, (i) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Options outstanding shall cease, (ii) all of such Participant’s
unvested Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination, and (iii)
all of such Participant’s vested Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier
of (x) the applicable Expiration Date and (y) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such Termination. In the event
of a Participant’s death, such Participant’s Options shall remain exercisable by the Person or Persons to whom such
Participant’s rights under the Options pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution for such time as
the Options would have remained exercisable had the Participant been alive, but only to the extent that the Options were vested
at the time of such Termination.


 


(3)    In
the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by the Service Recipient for Cause, all
of such Participant’s Options outstanding (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited for no consideration
as of such Termination.


 


(g)    Special
Provisions Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.


 


(1)    No
Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Eligible Person who, at the time the Option is granted, owns directly, or indirectly
within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary thereof (a “10% stockholder”), unless
such Incentive Stock Option (i) has an exercise price of at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the
date of the grant of such Option and (ii) cannot be exercised more than five (5) years after the date it is granted.


 


(2)    To
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Stock for which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates)
exceeds $100,000 (or such other limit specified in the Code), such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified
Stock Options.


 


(3)    Each
Participant who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Participant
makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.


 


6.    Restricted
Stock.


 





(a)    General.
Restricted Stock may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem
appropriate. The provisions of separate Awards of Restricted Stock shall be set forth in separate Restricted Stock Agreements,
which agreements need not be identical. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(b) hereof, and except as otherwise set
forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder
as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s
Restricted Stock Agreement, cash dividends and stock dividends, if any, with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be withheld
by the Company for the Participant’s account, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the same degree as the shares of Restricted
Stock to which such dividends relate; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Restricted Stock Agreement to the
contrary, dividends with respect to shares of Stock that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, shall be deposited
with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Stock with respect to which such distribution was
made. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.


 






     10


     


    

 


(b)    Vesting
and Restrictions on Transfer. Restricted Stock shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of
performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting
of any Award of Restricted Stock at any time and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee or set
forth in the applicable Award Agreement or Participant Agreement, the vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock shall occur only
while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s
Termination for any reason. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement,
the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock prior to the time
the Restricted Stock has vested pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement.


 


(c)    Termination
of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a Restricted Stock Agreement, Participant Agreement or otherwise,
in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock
has vested, (1) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock outstanding shall cease, and (2) as soon
as practicable following such Termination, the Company shall repurchase from the Participant, and the Participant shall sell, all
of such Participant’s unvested shares of Restricted Stock at a purchase price equal to the lesser of the (x) Fair Market
Value of the Restricted Stock as of the date of Termination or (y) the original purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock;
provided that, if the original purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock is equal to zero dollars ($0), such unvested
shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.


 


7.    Restricted
Stock Units.


 


(a)    General.
Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall
deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Restricted Stock Units shall be set forth in separate RSU Agreements, which agreements
need not be identical.


 


(b)    Vesting.
Restricted Stock Units shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions,
in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding
any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit at any time
and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee or in the applicable Award Agreement or Participant
Agreement, the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to
the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason.


 


(c)    Settlement.
Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Stock, cash, or other property, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
on the date or dates determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s
RSU Agreement, a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends, if any, or dividend equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock
Units prior to settlement; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the RSU Agreement to the contrary, any dividends
or dividend equivalents with respect to RSUs that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be subject to the same
restrictions as such RSUs.


 


(d)    Termination
of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in an RSU Agreement, Participant Agreement or otherwise, in the
event of a Participant’s Termination for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units
have been settled, (1) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units outstanding shall cease, (2)
all of such Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock Units outstanding shall be forfeited for no consideration as of such
Termination, and (3) any shares remaining undelivered with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units then held by such Participant
shall be delivered in accordance with the RSU Agreement.


 






     11


     


    

 


8.    Stock
Appreciation Rights.


 


(a)    General.
Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee
shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Stock Appreciation Rights shall be set forth in separate SAR Agreements, which
agreements need not be identical. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Stock Appreciation Rights.


 


(b)    Term.
The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; provided, however, that no Stock
Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall be exercisable after, and each Stock Appreciation Right shall expire, ten (10) years
from the date it was granted.


 


(c)    Base
Price. The base price per share of Stock for each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant
and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Stock Appreciation
Right that is a Substitute Award, the base price per share of Stock for such Stock Appreciation Right may be less than the Fair
Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that such base price is determined in a manner consistent with the provisions
of Section 409A of the Code.


 


(d)    Vesting.
Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest and become exercisable in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance
or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in a SAR Agreement; provided, however,
that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Stock Appreciation
Right at any time and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee or in the applicable Award Agreement
or Participant Agreement, the vesting of a Stock Appreciation Right shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering
services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason. If a Stock
Appreciation Right is exercisable in installments, such installments or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable
until the Stock Appreciation Right expires, is canceled or otherwise terminates.


 


(e)    Payment
upon Exercise. Payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash, Stock, or other property as specified
in the SAR Agreement, in each case having a value in respect of each share of Stock underlying the portion of the Stock Appreciation
Right so exercised, equal to the difference between the base price of such Stock Appreciation Right and the Fair Market Value of
one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date. For purposes of clarity, each share of Stock to be issued in settlement of a Stock
Appreciation Right is deemed to have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date. In
no event shall fractional shares be issuable upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, and in the event that fractional
shares would otherwise be issuable, the number of shares issuable will be rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares,
and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the value of such fractional share.


 


(f)    Termination
of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a SAR Agreement, Participant Agreement or otherwise:


 


(1)    In
the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date for any reason other than (i) by the Service
Recipient for Cause, or (ii) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s
Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall cease, (B) all of such Participant’s unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding
shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination, and (C) all of such Participant’s
vested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable
Expiration Date and (y) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of such Termination.


 






     12


     


    

 


(2)    In
the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by reason of such Participant’s death
or Disability, (i) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall cease, (ii)
all of such Participant’s unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration
as of the date of such Termination, and (iii) all of such Participant’s vested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall
terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date and (y) the date that is twelve
(12) months after the date of such Termination. In the event of a Participant’s death, such Participant’s Stock Appreciation
Rights shall remain exercisable by the Person or Persons to whom such Participant’s rights under the Stock Appreciation Rights
pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution for such time as the Stock Appreciation Rights would have remained
exercisable had the Participant been alive, but only to the extent that the Stock Appreciation Rights were vested at the time of
such Termination.


 


(3)    In
the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by the Service Recipient for Cause, all
of such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited
for no consideration as of such Termination.


 


9.    Performance
Awards.


 


(a)    General.
Performance Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall
deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Performance Awards, including, without limitation, the determination of the Committee
with respect to the form of payout of Performance Awards, shall be set forth in separate Performance Award Agreements, which agreements
need not be identical. Cash dividends and stock dividends, if any, with respect to the Performance Shares shall be withheld by
the Company for the Participant’s account, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the same degree as the Performance Shares
to which such dividends relate and a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends, if any, or dividend equivalents with respect
to Performance Units that are not earned and vested. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or
be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.


 


(b)    Value
of Performance Awards. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of
grant. Each Performance Share shall represent a share of Stock as of the date of grant. Each Performance Award Agreement in respect
of any Performance Cash Award shall specify the dollar amount payable under the Performance Cash Award. In addition to any other
non-performance terms included in the Performance Award Agreement, the Committee shall set the applicable Performance Objectives
in its discretion, which objectives, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and number of Performance
Units or Performance Shares, or the value of a Performance Cash Award, as the case may be, that will be paid out to the Participant.


 


(c)    Earning
of Performance Awards. Upon the expiration of the applicable Performance Period or other non-performance-based vesting period,
if longer, the holder of a Performance Award shall be entitled to receive the following payouts: (1) if the holder holds Performance
Units or Performance Shares, payout on the value and number of the applicable Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by
the Participant over the Performance Period, or (2) if the holder holds a Performance Cash Award, payout on the value of the Performance
Cash Award earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, in any case, to be determined as a function of the extent to
which the corresponding Performance Objectives have been achieved and any other non-performance-based terms met.


 


(d)    Form
and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards. Payment of earned Performance Awards shall be as determined by the Committee and
as evidenced in the Performance Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Performance Award Agreement shall specify
whether the earned Performance Units and Performance Shares may be paid in the form of cash, Stock, or other Awards (or in any
combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Units or Performance Shares, as the case may be, at the close
of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period. Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, earned Performance Cash Awards shall be paid in cash. Any cash, Stock, or other Awards issued in connection with
a Performance Award may be issued subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee.


 






     13


     


    

 


(e)    Termination
of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a Performance Award Agreement, Participant Agreement or otherwise,
if, prior to the end of an applicable Performance Period, a Participant undergoes a Termination for any reason, all of such Participant’s
Performance Awards shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company for no consideration, and any shares remaining undelivered
with respect to the Participant’s vested Performance Awards will be delivered in accordance with the Award Agreement.


 


(f)    Performance
Objectives.


 


(1)    Each
Performance Award shall specify the Performance Objectives that must be achieved before such Performance Award shall become earned.
The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a
formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls
short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives.


 


(2)    With
respect to Qualified Performance-Based Awards and to the extent required to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, Performance
Objectives shall be based on specified levels of or increases in one or more of the following business criteria (alone or in combination
with any other criterion, whether gross or net, before or after taxes, and/or before or after other adjustments, as determined
by the Committee in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code): (i) earnings, including, without limitation, net earnings, total
earnings, operating earnings, earnings growth, operating income, earnings before or after taxes, earnings before or after interest,
depreciation, amortization, book value per share, tangible book value or growth in book value per share; (ii) pre-tax income
or after tax income; (iii) earnings per share (basic or diluted); (iv) operating profit; (v) revenue, revenue growth,
or rate of revenue growth; (vi) return on assets (gross or net), return on investment, return on capital, return on equity,
or internal rates of return; (vii) returns on sales or revenues; (viii) operating expenses; (ix) stock price appreciation;
(x) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow), cash flow return on investment (discounted
or otherwise), net cash provided by operations or cash flow in excess of cost of capital, working capital turnover; (xii)
economic value created; (xiii) cumulative earnings per share growth; (xiv) operating margin, profit margin, or gross
margin; (xv) stock price or total stockholder return; (xvi) cost or expense targets, reductions and savings, productivity
and efficiencies; (xvii) sales or sales growth; (xviii) strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives
based on meeting specified market penetration, market share, geographic business expansion, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction,
human resources management, supervision of litigation, information technology, and goals relating to acquisitions, divestitures
or joint ventures; and (xix) to the extent that an Award is not intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award, other
measures of performance selected by the Committee. Performance Objectives may be established on a Company-wide basis, project or
geographical basis or, as the context permits, with respect to one or more business units, divisions, lines of business or business
segments, subsidiaries, products, or other operational units or administrative departments of the Company (or any combination thereof)
or may be related to the performance of an individual Participant and may be expressed in absolute terms, or relative or comparative
to (A) current internal targets or budgets, (B) the past performance of the Company (including, without limitation, the performance
of one or more subsidiaries, divisions, or operating units), (C) the performance of one or more similarly situated companies, (D)
the performance of an index covering multiple companies, or (E) other external measures of the selected performance criteria. Performance
Objectives may be in either absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering
multiple companies.


 




     14


     


    

 


(3)    The
business criteria mentioned above (i) may be combined with cost of capital, assets, invested capital and/or stockholders’
equity to form an appropriate measure of performance and (ii) shall have any reasonable definitions that the Committee may specify
in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code. Unless specified otherwise by the Committee (i) in the Performance Award Agreement
at the time the Performance Award is granted or (ii) in such other document setting forth the Performance Objectives at the time
the Performance Objectives are established, the Committee, in its sole discretion, will appropriately make adjustments in the method
of calculating the attainment of Performance Objectives for a Performance Period to provide for objectively determinable adjustments,
modifications or amendments, as determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”),
to any one or more of the business criteria described above for one or more of the following items of gain, loss, profit or expense:
(A) determined to be extraordinary, unusual infrequently occurring, or non-recurring in nature; (B) related to changes in
accounting principles under GAAP or tax laws; (C) related to currency fluctuations; (D) related to financing activities
(e.g., effect on earnings per share of issuing convertible debt securities); (E) related to restructuring, divestitures,
productivity initiatives or new business initiatives; (F) related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment
of business under GAAP; (G) attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by the Company during the fiscal
year; (H) non-operating items; and (I) acquisition or divestiture expenses.


 


(g)    Section
162(m) Compliance. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code with respect
to a Performance Award intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the Committee will establish the Performance Objectives
applicable to, and the formula for calculating the amount payable under, the Performance Award no later than the earlier of (a)
the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable Performance Period, and (b) the date on which twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Performance Period has elapsed, and in any event at a time when the achievement of the applicable Performance Objectives
remains substantially uncertain. Prior to the payment of any compensation under a Performance Award intended to be a Qualified
Performance-Based Award, the Committee will certify the extent to which any Performance Objectives and any other material terms
under such Performance Award have been satisfied (other than in cases where such Performance Objectives relate solely to the increase
in the value of the Stock).


 


10.    Other
Stock or Cash-Based Awards.


 


The Committee is authorized,
subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in,
valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to Stock or cash (including annual or long-term
performance Awards payable in cash), as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may
also grant Stock as a bonus (whether or not subject to any vesting requirements or other restrictions on transfer), and may grant
other Awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or an Affiliate to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under
other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions
applicable to such Awards shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced by Award Agreements, which agreements need not be
identical.


 


11.    Adjustment
for Recapitalization, Merger, etc.


 


(a)    Capitalization
Adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in connection with Awards (as set forth in Section
4 hereof), the numerical share limits in Section 4 hereof, the number of shares of Stock covered by each outstanding Award, and
the price per share of Stock underlying each such Award shall be equitably and proportionally adjusted or substituted by the Committee
as to the number, price, or kind of a share of Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards in the event of any equity restructuring
(within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock
Compensation, or any successor or replacement accounting standard) that causes the per share value of Stock to change, such as
stock dividends, recapitalizations through extraordinary cash dividends, stock splits, and reverse stock splits, occurring after
the date of grant of any such Award; provided, however, that any such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made without an increase in the aggregate purchase price or base price and in accordance
with Section 409A of the Code. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including, without limitation, a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the previous
sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights
of Participants. The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.


 






     15


     


    

 


(b)    Corporate
Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, Participant Agreement or
otherwise, in connection with a Change in Control or the reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company (each, a “Corporate
Event”), the Committee may, in its discretion, provide for any one or more of the following:


 


(1)    The
assumption or substitution of any or all Awards in connection with such Corporate Event, in which case the Awards shall be subject
to the adjustment set forth in subsection (a) above, and to the extent that such Awards are Performance Awards or other Awards
that vest subject to the achievement of Performance Objectives or similar performance criteria, such Performance Objectives or
similar performance criteria shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the Corporate Event;


 


(2)    The
acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event, subject to the
consummation of such Corporate Event; provided that any Performance Awards or other Awards that vest subject to the
achievement of Performance Objectives or similar performance criteria will be deemed earned based on actual performance through
the date of the Corporate Event or (ii) at the target level (or if no target is specified, the maximum level), in the event actual
performance cannot be measured through the date of the Corporate Event, in each case, with respect to any unexpired Performance
Periods or Performance Periods for which satisfaction of the Performance Objectives or other material terms for the applicable
Performance Period has not been certified by the Committee prior to the date of the Corporate Event;


 


(3)    The
cancellation of any or all Awards (whether vested or unvested) as of the consummation of such Corporate Event, together with the
payment to the Participants holding Awards (whether vested or unvested) so canceled of an amount in respect of cancellation equal
to the amount payable pursuant to any Performance Cash Award or, with respect to other Awards, an amount based upon the per-share
consideration being paid for the Stock in connection with such Corporate Event, less, in the case of Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise, the applicable exercise, base or purchase price; provided, however, that holders
of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise shall be entitled to consideration in respect of cancellation
of such Awards only if the per-share consideration less the applicable exercise, base or purchase price is greater than zero dollars
($0), and to the extent that the per-share consideration is less than or equal to the applicable exercise, base or purchase price,
such Awards shall be canceled for no consideration;


 


(4)    The
cancellation of any or all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards subject to exercise (whether vested or unvested)
as of the consummation of such Corporate Event; provided that all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards
to be so canceled pursuant to this paragraph (4) shall first become exercisable for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to
such Corporate Event (whether vested or unvested), with any exercise during such period of any unvested Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights or other Awards to be (A) contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Corporate Event, and (B) effectuated by such
means as are approved by the Committee; and


 






     16


     


    

 


(5)    The
replacement of any or all Awards (other than Awards that are intended to qualify as “stock rights” that do not provide
for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) with a cash incentive program that
preserves the economic value of the Awards so replaced (determined as of the consummation of the Corporate Event), with subsequent
payment of cash incentives subject to the same vesting conditions and payment terms as applicable to the Awards so replaced.


 


Payments to holders pursuant to paragraph
(3) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, and to the extent applicable, in the form of such
other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or a combination thereof) as such Participant
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately prior to such
transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable exercise or base
price). In addition, in connection with any Corporate Event, prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this subsection
(b), the Committee may require a Participant to (A) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title to his or her Awards, (B)
bear such Participant’s pro-rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing
purchase price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions as the other holders of Stock,
and (C) deliver customary transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee. The Committee need not take the same
action or actions with respect to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Committee may take different
actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award.


 


(c)    Fractional
Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section 11 may, in the Committee’s discretion, provide for the elimination
of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject to an Award. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional
shares so eliminated.


 


12.    Use
of Proceeds.


 


The proceeds received
from the sale of Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.


 


13.    Rights
and Privileges as a Stockholder.


 


Except as otherwise
specifically provided in the Plan, no Person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of Stock ownership in respect of shares
of Stock that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that Person.


 


14.    Transferability
of Awards.


 


Awards may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent
and distribution, and to the extent subject to exercise, Awards may not be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee other than
by the grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Awards and a Participant’s
rights under the Plan shall be transferable for no value to the extent provided in an Award Agreement or otherwise determined at
any time by the Committee and to the extent permitted by applicable law.


 


15.    Employment
or Service Rights.


 


No individual shall
have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected
for the grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any
right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Except as provided otherwise in an
Award Agreement, for purposes of the Plan, references to employment by the Company shall also mean employment by an Affiliate of
the Company, and references to employment shall include service as a non-employee director, consultant, independent contractor
or agent.


 






     17


     


    

 


16.    Compliance
with Laws.


 


The obligation of the
Company to deliver Stock upon issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award shall be subject to all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions
of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from
offering to sell or selling, any shares of Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act (or with a similar non-U.S.
regulatory agency pursuant to a similar law or regulation) or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory
to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom
and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register
for sale or resale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan or any shares of Stock
to be issued upon exercise or settlement of Awards. If the shares of Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered
or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares
and may legend the Stock certificates representing such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability
of any such exemption.


 


17.    Withholding
Obligations.


 


As a condition to the
issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award (or upon the making of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), the
Committee may require that a Participant satisfy, through deduction or withholding from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
the Participant, or through such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Committee, the minimum amount of all federal, state,
and local income and other taxes of any kind required or permitted to be withheld in connection with such issuance, vesting, exercise,
or settlement (or election). The Committee, in its discretion, may permit shares of Stock to be used to satisfy tax withholding
requirements, and such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement date
of the Award, as applicable; provided, however, that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the number of shares of Stock that
may be used to satisfy tax withholding requirements may not exceed the minimum statutorily required withholding amount with respect
to such Award (unless the Committee determines, in its discretion, that a greater number of shares of Stock may be used to satisfy
tax withholding requirements without resulting in adverse accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor pronouncement thereto)).


 


18.    Amendment
of the Plan or Awards.


 


(a)    Amendment
of Plan. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time.


 


(b)    Amendment
of Awards. The Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any one or more Awards at any time and from time to time.


 





(c)    Stockholder
Approval; No Material Impairment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment to the Plan or any Award
shall be effective without stockholder approval to the extent that such approval is required pursuant to applicable law or the
applicable rules of each national securities exchange on which the Stock is listed. Additionally, no amendment to any Award shall
materially impair a Participant’s rights under any outstanding Award unless the Participant consents in writing (it being
understood that no action taken by the Board or the Committee that is expressly permitted under the Plan, including, without limitation,
any actions described in Section 11 hereof, shall constitute an amendment to the Plan or an Award for such purpose). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, and without an affected Participant’s consent, the Board
or the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan or any one or more Awards from time to time as necessary to bring such Awards
into compliance with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.


 






     18


     


    

 


(d)    No
Repricing of Awards Without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding subsection (a) or (b) above, or any other provision of the
Plan, the repricing of Awards shall not be permitted without stockholder approval. For this purpose, a “repricing”
means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (1) changing the terms of an
Award to lower its exercise or base price (other than on account of capital adjustments resulting from share splits, etc., as described
in Section 11(a) hereof), (2) any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP or applicable stock exchange rules, and
(3) repurchasing for cash or canceling an Award in exchange for another Award at a time when its exercise or base price is greater
than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with an event set
forth in Section 11(b) hereof.


 


19.    Termination
or Suspension of the Plan.


 


The Board or the Committee
may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the date the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan
is suspended or after it is terminated; provided, however, that following any suspension or termination of the Plan, the Plan
shall remain in effect for the purpose of governing all Awards then outstanding hereunder until such time as all Awards under the
Plan have been terminated, forfeited, or otherwise canceled, or earned, exercised, settled, or otherwise paid out, in accordance
with their terms.


 


20.    Effective
Date of the Plan.


 


The Plan is effective
as of the Effective Date, subject to (a) stockholder approval of the Plan and (b) consummation of the Business Combination.


 


21.    Miscellaneous.


 


(a)    Certificates.
Stock acquired pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee shall determine. If
certificates representing Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that (1) such certificates
bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Stock, (2) the Company retain
physical possession of the certificates, and (3) the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating
to the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that the Stock shall be held
in book-entry form rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of any applicable restrictions.


 


(b)    Other
Benefits. No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under
any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in
effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation.


 





(c)    Corporate
Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will
be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, regardless of when the
instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant.
In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Committee consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate
action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares of Stock) that are
inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement as a result of a clerical error in connection with the preparation of the Award
Agreement, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the
Award Agreement.


 


(d)    Awards
Subject to Clawback. Except to the extent prohibited by law, the Awards granted under this Plan and any cash payment or Shares
delivered pursuant to an Award are subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to the applicable Award
Agreement, Participant Agreement or any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including,
without limitation, any such policy which the Company may be required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law; provided, however, except
as otherwise required by applicable law, the applicable clawback or recoupment policy with respect to an Award shall be the policy
that was in effect on the date of grant with respect to such Award.


 






     19


     


    

 


(e)    Non-Exempt
Employees. If an Option is granted to an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the United States who is a non-exempt
employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Option will not be first exercisable for any shares
of Stock until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of the Option (although the Option may vest prior to such date).
Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, (1) if such employee dies or suffers a Disability, (2) upon
a Corporate Event in which such Option is not assumed, continued, or substituted, (3) upon a Change in Control, or (4) upon the
Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the applicable Award Agreement or a Participant Agreement, or, if
no such definition exists, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies and guidelines), the vested
portion of any Options held by such employee may be exercised earlier than six (6) months following the date of grant. The foregoing
provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting
of an Option will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the
Worker Economic Opportunity Act to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise, vesting
or issuance of any shares under any other Award will be exempt from such employee’s regular rate of pay, the provisions of
this Section 21(e) will apply to all Awards.


 


(f)    
Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection,
use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 21(f) by and among, as applicable,
the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan and Awards and the
Participant’s participation in the Plan. In furtherance of such implementation, administration, and management, the Company
and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s
name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary,
nationality, job title(s), information regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards
(the “Data”). In addition to transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Company and its
Affiliates may each transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management
of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the Participant’s
country or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country and any given recipient’s country may have different data privacy
laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and
transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration,
and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of
such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any
shares of Stock. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage
the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data held by
the Company with respect to such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data with
respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant, or refuse or withdraw
the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company
may cancel the Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan, and in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant
may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents described herein. For more information
on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.


 




     20


     


    

 


(g)    Participants
Outside of the United States. The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan made to or held by a Participant
who is then a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the
Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country
in which the Participant is then a resident or primarily employed or providing services, or so that the value and other benefits
of the Award to the Participant, as affected by non–U.S. tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s
residence, employment, or providing services abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such Award to a Participant who is a resident,
or is primarily employed or providing services, in the United States. An Award may be modified under this Section 21(g) in a manner
that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or
regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified. Additionally,
the Committee may adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible
Persons who are non–U.S. nationals or are primarily employed or providing services outside the United States.


 


(h)    Change
in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services
for the Company or any of its Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an employee of
the Company and the employee has a change in status from a full-time employee to a part-time employee) after the date of grant
of any Award to the Participant, the Committee has the right in its sole discretion to (i) make a corresponding reduction in the
number of shares of Stock subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such
change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction and to the extent permitted by Section 409A
of the Code, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant
will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced or extended.


 


(i)    No
Liability of Committee Members, etc. Neither any member of the Committee nor any of the Committee’s permitted delegates
shall be liable personally by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her behalf in his
or her capacity as a member of the Committee or a delegate or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any
duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees) and liabilities (including, without limitation, sums paid in settlement
of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such Person’s own
fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount
in settlement of a claim against any such Person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights
of indemnification to which such Persons may be entitled under the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation or
by-laws, each as may be amended from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to
indemnify them or hold them harmless.


 


(j)    Payments
Following Accidents or Illness. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is
unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such
Person or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the
Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, or other relative, an institution maintaining or having
custody of such Person, or any other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such Person otherwise
entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.


 


(k)    Governing
Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without reference
to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.


 


(l)    Electronic
Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document or “writing” will include any agreement
or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled or
authorized by the Company to which the Participant has access) to the extent permitted by applicable law.


 






     21


     


    

 


(m)    Funding.
No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets
or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall
the Company be required to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated
or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as
unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation
by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees and service providers under general law.


 


(n)    Reliance
on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying, acting, or failing
to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted, or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by the independent
public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any
Person or Persons other than such member.


 


(o)    Titles
and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of
any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
