Article
1 


 


PURPOSE


 


The purpose of this 2021 Share
Incentive Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of BlueCity Holdings Limited, an exempted company formed under the laws
of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), by linking the personal interests of the Directors, Employees, and Consultants
to those of the Company’s shareholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate
superior returns to the Company’s shareholders. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability
to motivate, attract, and retain the services of the Directors, Employees, and Consultants upon whose judgment, interest, and special
effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely dependent.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN


 


3.1             
Number of Shares.


 


(a)             
Subject to the provisions of Article 9 and Section 3.1(b), the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued pursuant
to all Awards (including Incentive Share Options) (the “Award Pool”) under the Plan
shall initially be 298,780 Shares, plus an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company during the term of this
Plan commencing with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, by (i) an amount equal to 1.5% of the total number of Shares issued and
outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such lesser number of Shares as may be determined by the
Board; provided that the size of the Award Pool shall be equitably adjusted in the event of any share dividend, subdivision, reclassification,
recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination, consolidation or similar transactions.


 


(b)              
To the extent that an Award terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, any Shares subject to the Award shall again be available
for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution
for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form or combination by a Group Entity shall not be counted against Shares available
for grant pursuant to the Plan. Shares delivered by the Participant or withheld by the Company upon the exercise of any Award under the
Plan, in payment of the exercise price thereof or tax withholding thereon, may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject
to the limitations of Section 3.1(a). If any Restricted Shares are forfeited by the Participant or repurchased by the Company, such Shares
may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of Section 3.1(a). Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3.1(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Share Option to fail to qualify
as an incentive share option under Section 422 of the Code.


 


3.2             
Shares Distributed. Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued
Shares, treasury Shares (subject to Applicable Laws) or Shares purchased on the open market. Additionally, at the discretion of the Committee,
any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may be represented by American Depository Shares. If the number of Shares represented by an
American Depository Share is other than on a one-to-one basis, the limitations of Section 3.1 shall be adjusted to reflect the distribution
of American Depository Shares in lieu of Shares.

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION


 


4.1              Eligibility.
Persons eligible to participate in this Plan include Employees, Consultants, and Directors, as determined by the Committee.


 


4.2             
Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from among all eligible
individuals, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. No individual shall have any
right to be granted an Award pursuant to this Plan.


 


4.3             
Jurisdictions. In order to assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed in various jurisdictions, the
Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax
policy, or custom applicable in the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides, is employed, operates or is incorporated. Moreover,
the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary
or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however,
that no such supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Section
3.1 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that
would violate any Applicable Laws.


 


Article

OPTIONS


 


5.1             
General. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions:


 


(a)              
Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in
the Award Agreement which may be a fixed price or a variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares. The exercise price
per Share subject to an Option may be amended or adjusted in the absolute discretion of the Committee, the determination of which shall
be final, binding and conclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws or any exchange rule, a
downward adjustment of the exercise prices of Options mentioned in the preceding sentence shall be effective without the approval of the
Company’s shareholders or the approval of the affected Participants.


 


(b)              
Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in
whole or in part, including exercise prior to vesting; provided that the term of any Option granted under the Plan shall not exceed
ten years, except as provided in Section 12.1. The Committee shall also determine any conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before
all or part of an Option may be exercised.


 


(c)               Payment.
The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including,
without limitation (i) cash or check denominated in U.S. Dollars, (ii) to the extent permissible under the Applicable Laws, cash or
check in Chinese Renminbi, (iii) cash or check denominated in any other local currency as approved by the Committee, (iv) Shares
held for such period of time as may be required by the Committee in order to avoid adverse financial accounting consequences and
having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof,
(v) after the Trading Date the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect
to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net
proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is
then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, (vi) other property acceptable to the Committee with a Fair Market Value
equal to the exercise price, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, no Participant who is a member of the Board or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of
Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option in any method which would violate
Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.


 






    7


     


    

 


(d)              
Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award
Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the Committee.


 


(e)              
Effects of Termination of Employment or Service on Options. Termination of employment or service shall have the following
effects on Options granted to the Participants:


 


(i)                
Dismissal for Cause. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment by or service
to the Service Recipient is terminated by the Service Recipient for Cause, the Participant’s Options will terminate upon such termination,
whether or not the Option is then vested and/or exercisable;


 


(ii)             
Death or Disability. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment by or service
to the Service Recipient terminates as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability:

will have until the date that is 12 months after the Participant’s termination of Employment to exercise the Participant’s
Options (or portion thereof) to the extent that such Options were vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination
of Employment on account of death or Disability;



 


		(b)	the Options, to the extent not vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment or service,
shall terminate upon the Participant’s termination of Employment or service on account of death or Disability; and



 


		(c)	the Options, to the extent exercisable for the 12-month period following the Participant’s termination of Employment or service
and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 12-month period.



 






    8


     


    

 


(iii)           
 Other Terminations of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant’s
employment by or service to the Service Recipient terminates for any reason other than a termination by the Service Recipient for Cause
or because of the Participant’s death or Disability:


 


		(a)	the Participant will have until the date that is 90 days after the Participant’s termination of Employment or service to exercise
his or her Options (or portion thereof) to the extent that such Options were vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s
termination of Employment or service;



 


		(b)	the Options, to the extent not vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment or service,
shall terminate upon the Participant’s termination of Employment or service; and



 


		(c)	the Options, to the extent exercisable for the 90-day period following the Participant’s termination of Employment or service
and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 90-day period.



 


5.2             
Incentive Share Options. Incentive Share Options may be granted to Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company.
Incentive Share Options may not be granted to employees of a Related Entity or to Independent Directors or Consultants. The terms of any
Incentive Share Options granted pursuant to the Plan, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1, must comply with the following additional
provisions of this Section 5.2:


 


(a)              
Individual Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all Shares
with respect to which Incentive Share Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such
other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Share Options are
first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Share Options.


 


(b)              
Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Incentive Share Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.
However, the exercise price of any Incentive Share Option granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns Shares possessing
more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company
may not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and such Option may not be exercisable for more than five years from
the date of grant.


 


(c)              
Transfer Restriction. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise
of an Incentive Share Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such Incentive Share Option or (ii) one year after the transfer
of such Shares to the Participant.

service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Share Units that are at that time unvested shall be forfeited or repurchased
in accordance with the Award Agreement; provided, however, the Committee may (a) provide in any Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement
that restrictions or forfeiture and repurchase conditions relating to Restricted Share Units will be waived in whole or in part in the
event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and (b) in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture and
repurchase conditions relating to Restricted Share Units.

8.2           No
Transferability; Limited Exception to Transfer Restrictions.


  


8.2.1       
 Limits on Transfer. Unless otherwise expressly provided in (or pursuant to) this Section 8.2, by applicable law and by the Award
Agreement, as the same may be amended:


 


		(a)	all Awards are non-transferable and will not be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation, alienation, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge;



 


		(b)	Awards will be exercised only by the Participant; and



 


		(c)	amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an Award will be delivered only to (or for the account of), and, in the case of Shares,
registered in the name of, the Participant.



 


In addition, the shares shall be subject
to the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.


 


8.2.2       
Further Exceptions to Limits on Transfer. The exercise and transfer restrictions in Section 8.2.1 will not apply to:


 


		(a)	transfers to the Company or a Subsidiary;



 


		(b)	transfers by gift to “immediate family” as that term is defined in SEC Rule 16a-1(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act;



 


		(c)	the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits if the Participant dies or, if the Participant has died, transfers to or exercises
by the Participant’s beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent
and distribution; or

Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities.




 






    12


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything else in this Section
8.2.2 to the contrary, but subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws, Incentive Share Options, Restricted Shares and Restricted Share
Units will be subject to any and all transfer restrictions under the Code applicable to such Awards or necessary to maintain the intended
tax consequences of such Awards. Notwithstanding clause (b) above but subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws, any contemplated
transfer by gift to “immediate family” as referenced in clause (b) above is subject to the condition precedent that the transfer
be approved by the Committee in order for it to be effective.


 


8.3           Beneficiaries.
Notwithstanding Section 8.2, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights
of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal
guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the
Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and
to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community
property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than
50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s
spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant
to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed
or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.


 


8.4           Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Committee, in its discretion, shall set performance objectives or other vesting
criteria which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of the Awards that will be granted or
paid out to the Participants.


 


8.5           Share
Certificates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificates evidencing the Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Committee has determined, with advice
of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all Applicable Laws, regulations of
governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. All Share
certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems
necessary or advisable to comply with all Applicable Laws, and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which the Shares are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Share certificate to reference
restrictions applicable to the Shares. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Committee may require that a
Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in
order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to
comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period
limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.


 






    13


     


    

 


8.6           Paperless Administration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Committee may make Awards and provide applicable disclosure and
procedures for exercise of Awards by an internet website or interactive voice response system for the paperless administration of Awards.


 


8.7           Foreign Currency. A Participant may be required to provide evidence that any currency used to pay the exercise price of
any Award was acquired and taken out of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides in accordance with Applicable Laws, including
foreign exchange control laws and regulations. In the event the exercise price for an Award is paid in Chinese Renminbi or other foreign
currency, as permitted by the Committee, the amount payable will be determined by conversion from U.S. dollars at the official rate promulgated
by the People’s Bank of China for Chinese Renminbi, or for jurisdictions other than the People’s Republic of China, the exchange
rate as selected by the Committee on the date of exercise.

9.1           Adjustments.
In the event of any dividend, share split, combination or exchange of Shares, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization
or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to its shareholders, or any other change affecting the shares
of Shares or the share price of a Share, the Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion
may deem appropriate to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and type of shares that may be issued under the
Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1); (b) the terms and conditions of any outstanding
Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (c) the grant or exercise
price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan.


 


9.2           Corporate
Transactions. Except as may otherwise be provided in any Award Agreement or any other written agreement entered into by and
between the Company and a Participant, if the Committee anticipates the occurrence, or upon the occurrence, of a Corporate
Transaction, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for (i) any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a
specific time in the future and shall give each Participant the right to exercise the vested portion of such Awards during a period
of time as the Committee shall determine, or (ii) the purchase of any Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could
have been attained upon the exercise of such Award (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of such date the Committee determines in
good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award, then such Award may be terminated by the Company
without payment), or (iii) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole
discretion or the assumption of or substitution of such Award by the successor or surviving corporation, or a Parent or Subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of Shares and prices, or (iv) payment of such Award in cash based on
the value of Shares on the date of the Corporate Transaction plus reasonable interest on the Award through the date as determined by
the Committee when such Award would otherwise be vested or have been paid in accordance with its original terms, if necessary to
comply with Section 409A of the Code.

9.3           Outstanding
Awards – Other Changes. In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than
those specifically referred to in this Article 9, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number
and class of shares subject to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in the per share grant or exercise price
of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.


 


9.4           No
Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation
of Shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or any dissolution,
liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to
action of the Committee under the Plan, and no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to an Award
or the grant or exercise price of any Award.

whom the Board shall delegate the authority to grant or amend Awards to Participants other than any of the Committee members, Independent

at which a quorum is present, and acts approved unanimously in writing all members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed

12.1         Amendment,
Modification, and Termination. At any time and from time to time, the Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided,
however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules, the Company shall
obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required, unless the Company decides to follow
home country practice, and (b) unless the Company decides to follow home country practice, shareholder approval is required for any amendment
to the Plan that (i) increases the number of Shares available under the Plan (other than any adjustment as provided by Article 9), or

12.2         Awards

Article
13 


 


GENERAL PROVISIONS


 


13.1         No Rights to Awards. No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to
the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly.


 


13.2         No Shareholders Rights. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until
Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.


 


13.3         Taxes.
No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Participant until such Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the
Committee for the satisfaction of any income and employment tax withholding obligations under Applicable Laws. The Company or any
Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy all applicable taxes (including the Participant’s payroll tax obligations) required or permitted by
Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan. The
Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company
withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums
required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to
the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award after such
Shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy any income and payroll tax liabilities applicable to
the Participant with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall, unless specifically approved by the
Committee, be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the
aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for the applicable income and payroll tax
purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.


 






    17


     


    

 


13.4         
No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way
the right of the Service Recipient to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant
any right to continue in the employment or services of any Service Recipient.


 


13.5         
Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect
to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the
Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the relevant Group Entity.


 


13.6         
Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Laws, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred
by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which
he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid
by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the
Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or
her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons
may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, as a matter of law, or otherwise,
or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.


 


13.7         
Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits
pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the any Group Entity except
to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.


 


13.8         
Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Group Entities.


 


13.9         
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.


 


13.10     
Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash
shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.


 






    18


     


    

 


13.11     
 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan, and any Award
granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations
set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange
Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws, the Plan and Awards
granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.


 


13.12     
Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Shares or otherwise shall be
subject to all Applicable Laws, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation
to register any of the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act or any other similar law in any applicable jurisdiction.
If the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act or other
Applicable Laws, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability
of any such exemption.


 


13.13     
Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Cayman
Islands.


 


13.14     
Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is or may become subject
to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section
409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of
the Code and the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation
any such regulation or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and
related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the
Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments,
policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate
to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect
to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance.


 


13.15     
Appendices. Subject to Section 12.1, the Committee may approve such supplements, amendments or appendices to the Plan as
it may consider necessary or appropriate for purposes of compliance with Applicable Laws or otherwise and such supplements, amendments
or appendices shall be considered a part of the Plan; provided, however, that no such supplements shall increase the share limitation
contained in Section 3.1 of the Plan without the approval of the Board.
