Agreement);

pursuant to the Employment Agreement the Parties have agreed to enter into the Agreement to grant to Grantee certain shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”);


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree as follows:


 


Section
1. Defined Terms. Defined terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given in the Employment Agreement.


 


Section
2. Grant. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement and the terms herein, the Company hereby grants to Grantee as of the

subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Employment Agreement.


 


Section
3. Vesting and Rights to the Restricted Stock.


 


	 	(a)	Grantee
    shall be entitled to exercise and enjoy all rights and entitlements of ownership of the Restricted Stock, including the right to
    vote such Restricted Stock on all matters which come before the shareholders of the Company and the right to receive dividends and
    other distributions thereon, except that, until the Restricted Stock vests pursuant to the terms and conditions herein the following
    restrictions (the “Restrictions”) shall apply: (i) Grantee may not sell, transfer, assign, give, place in trust, or otherwise
    dispose of or pledge, grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock and any such attempted disposition
    or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; (ii) dividends and other distributions on the Restricted Stock
    will be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3(d), Section 4 and Section 6; and (iii) Grantee’s shares of Restricted
    Stock will be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the provisions herein.

    Stock will be forfeited and returned to the Company, and all Grantee’s rights, or the rights of Grantee’s heirs in and

    determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion.



 



    	1



     


    

 


	 	(c)	Notwithstanding
    the foregoing, the Restricted Stock, and the acceleration of vesting thereof, and any forfeiture thereof, shall be subject to and
    shall be governed in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Agreement. 
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	Cash
    dividends, if any, that are declared on each share of Restricted Stock prior to the date they vest in accordance with the provisions
    herein, will be paid in Grantee’s name and will be delivered to Grantee by the Company, as soon as practicable following the
    payment thereof. Stock dividends or other distributions, if any, that are declared on each share of Restricted Stock prior to the
    date they vest in accordance with the provisions herein, will be issued in Grantee’s name but will be subject to the same restrictions
    as the Restricted Stock and will be held in custody by the Company until the date they vest as provided herein.
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	Subject
    to the provisions herein, upon the date the Restricted Stock vests in accordance with the terms of this Section 1, Grantee shall
    become entitled to receive a stock certificate evidencing such shares or have shares delivered electronically to Grantee’s
    broker, as determined by the Company, and the Restrictions applicable to those shares of Restricted Stock shall become null and void
    and cease to exist with respect to such shares.
	 	 	 
	 	(f)	At
    the discretion of the Board, the certificates representing the Restricted Stock may, upon issuance, be deposited in escrow with the
    Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All regular cash dividends on Restricted Stock (or other
    securities) at the time held in escrow shall be paid directly to the Grantee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Stock, together
    with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for cancellation upon forfeiture
    thereof; or (ii) released to the Grantee upon request, but only to the extent that the Restricted Stock is no longer Restricted Stock.
    


 


Section
4. Issuance and Delivery. The issuance or delivery of any shares of Restricted Stock which have vested may be postponed by the
Board for such period as may be required to comply with any applicable requirements under the federal or state securities laws, any applicable
listing requirements of any national securities exchange, and any applicable requirements under any other law, rule or regulation applicable
to the issuance or delivery of such shares, and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any such shares of Restricted Stock to
Grantee if either delivery thereof would constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation of any governmental
authority, any national securities exchange, or Grantee shall not yet have complied fully with the provisions herein.

Section
5. Representations and Warranties.


 


	 	(a)	General
    Representations and Warranties of Grantee. Grantee represents and warrants hereunder that this Agreement and the transactions
    contemplated hereunder have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite action; that Grantee has the full right, power and
    capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder; and that this Agreement, upon execution and delivery of the same
    by Grantee, will represent the valid and binding obligation of Grantee enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability
    Exceptions. Grantee represents and warrants that all personnel or agents of Grantee who perform any activities on behalf of the Company
    hereunder or otherwise are legally authorized and permitted to work in the United States and for the benefit of the Company hereunder.
    The representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement The representations
    and warranties set forth herein shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	Representation
    and Warranties of Grantee Related to the Restricted Stock. The Grantee hereby makes the representations and warranties as set
    forth in Section 10 of the Employment Agreement, on the Award Date and thereafter such representations and warranties shall be deemed
    re-made and re-given by Grantee to the Company on and as of each date that any shares of Restricted Stock vest as set forth herein.


 


Section
6. No Transfer. Grantee may not sell or transfer this Agreement or the Restricted Stock prior to vesting, or any rights herein
or therein, and any attempted transfer shall be null and void ab initio and the Company shall not recognize any purported transferee
as the holder thereof.


 


Section
7. Taxes.


 


	 	(a)	Grantee
    shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all federal, state, local and
    foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld by the Company with respect to such amount. Grantee
    shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes required to be paid in connection with the issuance or vesting of the Restricted
    Stock.
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	Subject
    to provisions discussed herein, under Section 83 of the Code, Grantee will recognize ordinary income upon transfer of the shares
    of Restricted Stock to Grantee, measured as the difference between the fair market value of the granted shares of Restricted Stock
    on the date of transfer and the amount paid for the granted shares of Restricted Stock, if any. The capital gains holding period
    will begin on the date of transfer.
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	To
    the extent that the granted shares of Restricted Stock are subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the
    meaning of Section 83 of the Code) on the Award Date, Grantee will not recognize ordinary income until the granted shares of Restricted
    Stock are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (i.e., as the shares of Restricted Stock vest). Grantee’s ordinary
    income is measured as the difference between the amount paid for the granted shares of Restricted Stock, if any, and the fair market
    value of the granted shares of Restricted Stock when such shares of Restricted Stock are no longer subject to a substantial risk
    of forfeiture. The capital gains holding period for shares of Restricted Stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture begins
    on the date when such shares of Restricted Stock are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.



 



    	3



     


    

 


	 	(d)	If
    the shares of Restricted Stock are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, Grantee may nonetheless accelerate Grantee’s
    recognition of ordinary income, if any, and begin Grantee’s capital gains holding period by timely filing an election pursuant
    to Section 83(b) of the Code (the “83(b) Election”). If Grantee makes an 83(b) Election, the excess of (i) the fair market
    value of the granted shares of Restricted Stock on the Award Date over (ii) the purchase price, if any, paid for the granted shares
    of Restricted Stock will be included in Grantee’s ordinary income. If the granted shares of Restricted Stock are later forfeited,
    however, Grantee will not be entitled to a tax deduction or a refund of the tax already paid. If Grantee makes the 83(b) Election,
    Grantee will not recognize any additional income when the granted shares of Restricted Stock vest and any appreciation in the value
    of the granted shares of Restricted Stock after the election is not taxed as compensation but instead is taxed as capital gains when
    the granted shares of Restricted Stock are sold.
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	The
    83(b) Election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after the shares of Restricted Stock are transferred.
    Any ordinary income resulting from the election will be subject to applicable tax withholding requirements. The election is generally
    irrevocable and cannot be made after the 30-day period has expired. In the event that Grantee makes an 83(b) Election, Grantee (i)
    shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of the 83(b) Election, as filed with the Internal Revenue Service; and (ii) the Company
    may withhold from any payments due to Grantee any applicable federal, state, or local taxes and such other deductions as are prescribed
    by law, or Grantee will pay to the Company all such tax withholding amounts promptly upon request.
	 	 	 
	 	(f)	The
    foregoing is only a summary of the effect of U.S. federal income taxation on Grantee with respect to the grant of the Restricted
    Stock. It does not purport to be a complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences. It does not discuss the income
    tax laws of any state, municipality, or foreign country in which Grantee’s income or gain may be taxable. In any event, Grantee
    is hereby advised to consult Grantee’s own tax advisor as to the consequences of making an 83(b) Election. If Grantee desires
    to make an 83(b) Election, then it is Grantee’s responsibility to timely make a valid election.
	 	 	 
	 	(g)	THIS
    SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS SPECIFIC STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY BE APPLICABLE TO GRANTEE. GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS
    THAT THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
    IS GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN
    IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON GRANTEE’S BEHALF. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, GRANTEE
    REPRESENTS THAT GRANTEE HAS REVIEWED WITH GRANTEE’S OWN TAX ADVISORS THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES
    OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT GRANTEE IS RELYING SOLELY ON SUCH ADVISORS AND NOT ON ANY STATEMENTS
    OR REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS. GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT GRANTEE (AND NOT THE COMPANY) SHALL BE
    RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAX LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

covering some or all of the Restricted Stock and such other documents and instruments as the Board deems necessary or desirable to carry
out the terms of this Agreement and (ii) to take such other action as the Board deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the terms
of this Agreement. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. Grantee agrees to execute such other stock powers and

Section
20. No Waiver. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
