grant of the option, such Eligible Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee pursuant to
Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing 5% or more

Participation.

Enrollment; Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee may elect to participate in the Plan by properly completing an Enrollment Form,

Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary. By submitting an Enrollment Form, the Eligible Employee authorizes payroll deductions
from his or her pay check in an amount equal to at least 1%, but not more than 15% of his or her Compensation on each pay day occurring
during an Offering Period (or such other maximum percentage as the Committee may establish from time to time before an Offering Period
begins). Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payroll date following the Offering Date and end on the last payroll date on
or before the Purchase Date. The Company shall maintain records of all payroll deductions but shall have no obligation to pay interest
on payroll deductions or to hold such amounts in a trust or in any segregated account. Unless expressly permitted by the Committee, a
Participant may not make any separate contributions or payments to the Plan.


 


6.2
Election Changes. A Participant may decrease or increase his or her rate of payroll deductions for future Offering Periods by submitting
a new Enrollment Form authorizing the new rate of payroll deductions at least fifteen days before the start of the next Offering Period.


 


6.3
Automatic Re-enrollment. The deduction rate selected in the Enrollment Form shall remain in effect for subsequent Offering Periods
unless the Participant (a) submits a new Enrollment Form authorizing a new level of payroll deductions in accordance with Section 6.2,
(b) withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Section 10, or (c) terminates employment or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate
in the Plan.


 


7.
Grant of Option. On each Offering Date, each Participant in the applicable Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase,
on the Purchase Date, a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions
by the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event shall any Participant purchase more than 2,500 shares of Common
Stock during an Offering Period (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 18 and the limitations set forth in Section 13 of the
Plan).


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


8.
Exercise of Option/Purchase of Shares. A Participant’s option to purchase shares
of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date of each Offering Period. The Participant’s accumulated payroll
deductions will be used to purchase the maximum number of whole shares that can be purchased with the amounts in the Participant’s
notional account. No fractional shares may be purchased but notional fractional shares of Common Stock will be allocated to the Participant’s
ESPP Share Account to be aggregated with other notional fractional shares of Common Stock on future Purchase Dates, subject to earlier
withdrawal by the Participant in accordance with Section 10 or termination of employment in accordance with Section 11.


 


9.
Transfer of Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Purchase Date, the
Company will arrange for the delivery to each Participant of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of his or her option.
The Committee may permit or require that the shares be deposited directly into an ESPP Share Account established in the name of the Participant
with a Designated Broker and may require that the shares of Common Stock be retained with such Designated Broker for a specified period
of time. Participants will not have any voting, dividend or other rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock
subject to any option granted hereunder until such shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9.


 


10.
Withdrawal.


 


10.1
Withdrawal Procedure. A Participant may withdraw from an Offering by submitting to the Company a revised Enrollment Form indicating
his or her election to withdraw at least fifteen days before the Purchase Date. The accumulated payroll deductions held on behalf of
a Participant in his or her notional account (that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) shall be paid to the Participant
promptly following receipt of the Participant’s Enrollment Form indicating his or her election to withdraw and the Participant’s
option shall be automatically terminated. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, no payroll deductions will be made during
any succeeding Offering Period, unless the Participant re-enrolls in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Plan.


 


10.2
Effect on Succeeding Offering Periods. A Participant’s election to withdraw from an Offering Period will not have any effect
upon his or her eligibility to participate in succeeding Offering Periods that commence following the completion of the Offering Period
from which the Participant withdraws.


 


11.
Termination of Employment; Change in Employment Status. Upon termination of a Participant’s
employment for any reason, including death, disability or retirement, or a change in the Participant’s employment status following
which the Participant is no longer an Eligible Employee, which in either case occurs at least thirty days before the Purchase Date, the
Participant will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan and the payroll deductions in the Participant’s notional account (that
have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) shall be returned to the Participant, or in the case of the Participant’s
death, to the person(s) entitled to such amounts under Section 17, and the Participant’s option shall be automatically terminated.
If the Participant’s termination of employment or change in status occurs within thirty days before a Purchase Date, the accumulated
payroll deductions shall be used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date.


 


12.
Interest. No interest shall accrue on or be payable with respect to the payroll deductions
of a Participant in the Plan.


 


13.
Shares Reserved for Plan.


 


13.1
Number of Shares. A total of 100,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved as authorized for the grant of options under the Plan.
The shares of Common Stock may be newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares acquired on the open market.


 


13.2
Over-subscribed Offerings. The number of shares of Common Stock which a Participant may purchase in an Offering under the Plan may
be reduced if the Offering is over-subscribed. No option granted under the Plan shall permit a Participant to purchase shares of Common
Stock which, if added together with the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by all other Participants in such Offering would
exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock remaining available under the Plan. If the Committee determines that, on a particular
Purchase Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares of
Common Stock then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock remaining available
for purchase in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Committee determines to be equitable.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


14.
Transferability. No payroll deductions credited to a Participant, nor any rights with
respect to the exercise of an option or any rights to receive Common Stock hereunder may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 17 hereof) by the Participant.
Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of such rights or amounts shall be without effect.


 


15.
Application of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the
Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose to the extent permitted by applicable law, and the Company shall not be required
to segregate such payroll deductions or contributions.


 


16.
Statements. Participants will be provided with statements at least annually which shall
set forth the contributions made by the Participant to the Plan, the Purchase Price of any shares of Common Stock purchased with accumulated
funds, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased, and any payroll deduction amounts remaining in the Participant’s notional
account.


 


17.
Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant may file, on forms supplied by the Committee,
a written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash in respect of any fractional shares of Common
Stock, if any, from the Participant’s ESPP Share Account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death. In addition,
a Participant may file a written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any cash withheld through payroll deductions and credited
to the Participant’s notional account in the event of the Participant’s death prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period.


 


18.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Dissolution or Liquidation; Corporate Transactions.


 


18.1
Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,
or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the Company’s structure affecting the Common
Stock occurs, then in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the Plan, the Committee will, in such manner as it deems equitable, adjust the number of shares and class of Common Stock that may be
delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option under
the Plan, and the numerical limits of Section 7 and Section 13.


 


18.2
Dissolution or Liquidation. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of
the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date and the Offering Period will end immediately
prior to the proposed dissolution or liquidation. The new Purchase Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution
or liquidation. Before the new Purchase Date, the Committee will provide each Participant with written notice, which may be electronic,
of the new Purchase Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on such date, unless before such time,
the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 10.


 


18.3
Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted
by the successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume
or substitute the option, the Offering Period with respect to which the option relates will be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date
on which the Offering Period will end. The new Purchase Date will occur before the date of the Corporate Transaction. Prior to the new
Purchase Date, the Committee will provide each Participant with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and
that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on such date, unless before such time, the Participant has withdrawn
from the Offering in accordance with Section 10.
