Period applicable to any outstanding awards shall lapse, (iii) all or a portion of the Performance Period applicable to any outstanding

to the grant of an award, conditions with respect to the award, such as limiting competitive employment or other activities. All such
interpretations, rules, regulations and conditions shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.


 


The
Committee may delegate some or all of its power and authority hereunder to the Board (or any members thereof) or, subject to applicable
law, to a subcommittee of the Board, a member of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer of the Company as
the Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its power and authority to a member

this Plan of an officer, director or other person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or decisions concerning the timing, pricing
or amount of an award to such an officer, director or other person.


 



    	 



     


    

 





No
member of the Board or Committee, and neither the Chief Executive Officer nor any other executive officer to whom the Committee delegates
any of its power and authority hereunder, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in
connection with this Plan in good faith, and the members of the Board and the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer or other executive
officer shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including
attorneys’ fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law (except as otherwise may be provided in the Company’s

1.4
Eligibility. Participants in this Plan shall consist of such officers, other employees, Non-Employee Directors, consultants,

contractors and agents of the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries as the Committee in its sole discretion may select from time
to time. The Committee’s selection of a person to participate in this Plan at any time shall not require the Committee to select
such person to participate in this Plan at any other time. Except as otherwise provided for in an Agreement, for purposes of this Plan,
references to employment by the Company shall also mean employment by an Affiliate or Subsidiary, and references to employment shall
include service as a Non-Employee Director, consultant, independent contractor or agent. The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion,
the extent to which a participant shall be considered employed during an approved leave of absence.


 


1.5
Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.7 and to all other limits set forth in this Plan,
the number of shares of Common Stock available for all awards under this Plan, other than Substitute Awards, shall equal 14,198,424 which
is the sum of (i) 6,438,931 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards and (ii) the 7,759,493 shares of Common Stock that remain
available for future grants under this Plan and the Celsion Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan as of the Effective Date. All of the
shares available under the Plan may be issued under the Plan in connection with Incentive Stock Options. To the extent the Company grants
an award under the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock that remain available for future grants under the Plan shall be reduced
by an amount equal to the number of shares subject to such award.


 


To
the extent that shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding option, SAR, Stock Award or Performance Award granted under the Plan
or a similar type of award granted under the Prior Plan, other than Substitute Awards, are not issued or delivered by reason of (i) the
expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award (excluding shares subject to an option cancelled upon settlement in
shares of a related Tandem SAR or shares subject to a Tandem SAR cancelled upon exercise of a related option) or (ii) the settlement
of such award in cash, then such shares of Common Stock shall again be available under this Plan; provided, however, that
shares of Common Stock subject to an award under this Plan or a Prior Plan shall not again be available for issuance under this Plan
if such shares are (x) shares that were subject to an option or stock-settled SAR and were not issued or delivered upon the net settlement
or net exercise of such option or SAR, (y) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the purchase price or the withholding
taxes related to an outstanding award or (z) shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise.


 


The
number of shares of Common Stock available for awards under this Plan shall not be reduced by (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to Substitute Awards or (ii) available shares under a stockholder approved plan of a company or other entity which was a party
to a corporate transaction with the Company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such corporate transaction) which become subject to
awards granted under this Plan (subject to applicable stock exchange requirements).


 


Shares
of Common Stock to be delivered under this Plan shall be made available from authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, or authorized
and issued shares of Common Stock reacquired and held as treasury shares or otherwise or a combination thereof.


 



    	 



     


    

 





II.
STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS


 


2.1
Stock Options. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock to such eligible persons
as may be selected by the Committee. Each option, or portion thereof, that is not an Incentive Stock Option, shall be a Nonqualified
Stock Option. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar
year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Company, or any parent or Subsidiary) exceeds the amount (currently $100,000) established
by the Code, such options shall constitute Nonqualified Stock Options.


 


Options
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable:


 


(a)
Number of Shares and Purchase Price. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to an option and the purchase price per share
of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the
purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of an option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value
of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such option; provided further, that if an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted
to any person who, at the time such option is granted, owns capital stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting
power of all classes of capital stock of the Company (or of any parent or Subsidiary) (a “Ten Percent Holder”), the
purchase price per share of Common Stock shall not be less than the price (currently 110% of Fair Market Value) required by the Code
in order to constitute an Incentive Stock Option.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an option that is a Substitute Award, the purchase price per share of the shares subject to such option
may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant, provided, that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market
Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the shares subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate purchase
price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction
giving rise to the Substitute Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Committee) of the shares of the predecessor company
or other entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate purchase price of such
shares.


 


(b)
Option Period and Exercisability. The period during which an option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that no option shall be exercised later than ten years after its date of grant; provided further, that if an Incentive
Stock Option shall be granted to a Ten Percent Holder, such option shall not be exercised later than five years after its date of grant.
The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an
option or to the exercisability of all or a portion of an option. The Committee shall determine whether an option shall become exercisable
in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable option, or portion thereof, may be exercised
only with respect to whole shares of Common Stock.


 


(c)
Method of Exercise. An option may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole shares
of Common Stock to be purchased and accompanying such notice with payment therefor in full (or arrangement made for such payment to the
Company’s satisfaction) either (A) in cash, (B) by delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by
the Company) of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase
price payable by reason of such exercise, (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise
be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy such
obligation, (D) in cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the participant has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise
or (E) a combination of (A), (B) and (C), in each case to the extent set forth in the Agreement relating to the option, (ii) if applicable,
by surrendering to the Company any Tandem SARs which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of the option and (iii) by executing such
documents as the Company may reasonably request. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to pay such purchase
price shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the participant. No shares of Common Stock shall be
issued and no certificate representing Common Stock shall be delivered until the full purchase price therefor and any withholding taxes
thereon, as described in Section 5.5, have been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction).


 


2.2
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant SARs to such eligible persons as may be selected by
the Committee. The Agreement relating to an SAR shall specify whether the SAR is a Tandem SAR or a Free-Standing SAR.


 



    	 



     


    

 





SARs
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable:


 


(a)
Number of SARs and Base Price. The number of SARs subject to an award shall be determined by the Committee. Any Tandem SAR related
to an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted at the same time that such Incentive Stock Option is granted. The base price of a Tandem
SAR shall be the purchase price per share of Common Stock of the related option. The base price of a Free-Standing SAR shall be determined
by the Committee; provided, however, that such base price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Common Stock on the date of grant of such SAR (or, if earlier, the date of grant of the option for which the SAR is exchanged or substituted).


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an SAR that is a Substitute Award, the base price per share of the shares subject to such SAR may be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant, provided, that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value
(as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the shares subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate base price thereof
does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise
to the Substitute Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Committee) of the shares of the predecessor company or other
entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate base price of such shares.


 


(b)
Exercise Period and Exercisability. The period for the exercise of an SAR shall be determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that (i) no Tandem SAR shall be exercised later than the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of
the related option and (ii) no Free-Standing SAR shall be exercised later than ten years after its date of grant. The Committee may,
in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an SAR or to the exercisability
of all or a portion of an SAR. The Committee shall determine whether an SAR may be exercised in cumulative or non-cumulative installments
and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable SAR, or portion thereof, may be exercised, in the case of a Tandem SAR, only with
respect to whole shares of Common Stock and, in the case of a Free-Standing SAR, only with respect to a whole number of SARs. If an SAR
is exercised for shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance
with Section 3.2(c), or such shares shall be transferred to the holder in book entry form with restrictions on the shares duly
noted, and the holder of such Restricted Stock shall have such rights of a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section
3.2(d). Prior to the exercise of a stock-settled SAR, the holder of such SAR shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company
with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such SAR.


 


(c)
Method of Exercise. A Tandem SAR may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole SARs
which are being exercised, (ii) by surrendering to the Company any options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of the Tandem
SAR and (iii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. A Free-Standing SAR may be exercised (A) by giving written
notice to the Company specifying the whole number of SARs which are being exercised and (B) by executing such documents as the Company
may reasonably request. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued and no certificate representing Common Stock shall be delivered until
any withholding taxes thereon, as described in Section 5.5, have been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s
satisfaction).


 


2.3
Termination of Employment or Service. All of the terms relating to the exercise, cancellation or other disposition of an option
or SAR (i) upon a termination of employment with or service to the Company of the holder of such option or SAR, as the case may be, whether
by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of absence, shall be determined
by the Committee and set forth in the applicable award Agreement.


 


2.4
No Repricing. The Committee shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) reduce the purchase price
or base price of any previously granted option or SAR, (ii) cancel any previously granted option or SAR in exchange for another option
or SAR with a lower purchase price or base price or (iii) cancel any previously granted option or SAR in exchange for cash or another
award if the purchase price of such option or the base price of such SAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on
the date of such cancellation, in each case, other than in connection with a Change in Control or the adjustment provisions set forth
in Section 5.7.


 



    	 



     


    

 


2.5
No Dividend Equivalents. Notwithstanding anything in an Agreement to the contrary, the holder of an option or SAR shall not
be entitled to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such option or SAR.

Vesting and Forfeiture. The Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award shall provide, in the manner determined by the Committee,
in its discretion, and subject to the provisions of this Plan, for the vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award (i)
if the holder of such award remains continuously in the employment of the Company during the specified Restriction Period and (ii) if
specified Performance Measures (if any) are satisfied or met during a specified Performance Period, and for the forfeiture of the shares
of Common Stock subject to such award (x) if the holder of such award does not remain continuously in the employment of the Company during

Period.


 


(c)
Stock Issuance. During the Restriction Period, the shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by a custodian in book entry form
with restrictions on such shares duly noted or, alternatively, a certificate or certificates representing a Restricted Stock Award shall
be registered in the holder’s name and may bear a legend, in addition to any legend which may be required pursuant to Section
5.6, indicating that the ownership of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate is subject to the restrictions,
terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock Award. All such certificates shall be deposited
with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank
with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the
shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event such award is forfeited in whole or in part. Upon termination
of any applicable Restriction Period (and the satisfaction or attainment of applicable Performance Measures), subject to the Company’s
right to require payment of any taxes in accordance with Section 5.5, the restrictions shall be removed from the requisite number
of any shares of Common Stock that are held in book entry form, and all certificates evidencing ownership of the requisite number of
shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the holder of such award.

of the Company, including, but not limited to, voting rights, the right to receive dividends and the right to participate in any capital
adjustment applicable to all holders of Common Stock; provided, however, that a distribution or dividend with respect to
shares of Common Stock, including a regular cash dividend, shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions
as the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such distribution or dividend was made.


 


3.3
Terms of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions
and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

to receive, on a deferred basis, dividend equivalents, and, if determined by the Committee, interest on, or the deemed reinvestment of,

with respect to Restricted Stock Units that are subject to vesting conditions shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted
Stock Units. Prior to the settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the holder of such award shall have no rights as a stockholder
of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such award.


 


3.4
Other Stock Awards. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, the Committee is authorized to grant other awards that

additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable.


 


(a)
Value of Performance Awards and Performance Measures. The method of determining the value of the Performance Award and the Performance
Measures and Performance Period applicable to a Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee.


 


(b)
Vesting and Forfeiture. The Agreement relating to a Performance Award shall provide, in the manner determined by the Committee,
in its discretion, and subject to the provisions of this Plan, for the vesting of such Performance Award if the specified Performance
Measures are satisfied or met during the specified Performance Period and for the forfeiture of such award if the specified Performance
Measures are not satisfied or met during the specified Performance Period.


 



    	 



     


    

 





(c)
Settlement of Vested Performance Awards. The Agreement relating to a Performance Award shall specify whether such award may be
settled in shares of Common Stock (including shares of Restricted Stock) or cash or a combination thereof. If a Performance Award is
settled in shares of Restricted Stock, such shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued to the holder in book entry form or a certificate
or certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(c) and the holder of such Restricted
Stock shall have such rights as a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(d). Any dividends or dividend
equivalents with respect to a Performance Award shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Performance Award. Prior to the settlement
of a Performance Award in shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, the holder of such award shall have no rights as a stockholder
of the Company.


 


4.3
Termination of Employment or Service. All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of Performance Measures and the termination
of the Performance Period relating to a Performance Award, or any forfeiture and cancellation of such award (i) upon a termination of
employment with or service to the Company of the holder of such award, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other
reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of absence, shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable award
Agreement.


 


V.
GENERAL


 


5.1
Effective Date and Term of Plan. This Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the Company’s
2018 annual meeting of stockholders and, if approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person
or represented by proxy at such annual meeting of stockholders, shall become effective as of the date on which the Plan was approved
by stockholders (the “Effective Date”). This Plan shall terminate as of the first annual meeting of the Company’s
stockholders to occur on or after the tenth anniversary of its Effective Date, unless terminated earlier by the Board. Termination of
this Plan shall not affect the terms or conditions of any award granted prior to termination.


 


Awards
hereunder may be made at any time prior to the termination of this Plan, provided that no Incentive Stock Option may be granted later
than ten years after the date on which the Plan was approved by the Board. In the event that this Plan is not approved by the stockholders
of the Company, this Plan and any awards hereunder shall be void and of no force or effect.


 


5.2
Amendments. The Board may amend this Plan as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that no amendment to
the Plan shall be effective without the approval of the Company’s stockholders if (i) stockholder approval is required by applicable
law, rule or regulation, including any rule of the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then
traded, or (ii) such amendment seeks to modify Section 2.4 hereof; provided further, that no amendment may materially impair
the rights of a holder of an outstanding award without the consent of such holder.


 


5.3
Agreement. Each award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions applicable
to such award. No award shall be valid until an Agreement is executed by the Company and, to the extent required by the Company, executed
or electronically accepted by the recipient of such award. Upon such execution or acceptance and delivery of the Agreement to the Company
within the time period specified by the Company, such award shall be effective as of the effective date set forth in the Agreement.


 


5.4
Non-Transferability. No award shall be transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to
beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company or, to the extent expressly permitted in the Agreement relating to such award,
to the holder’s family members, a trust or entity established by the holder for estate planning purposes, a charitable organization
designated by the holder or pursuant to a domestic relations order, in each case, without consideration. Except to the extent permitted
by the foregoing sentence or the Agreement relating to an award, each award may be exercised or settled during the holder’s lifetime
only by the holder or the holder’s legal representative or similar person. Except as permitted by the second preceding sentence,
no award may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law
or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate,
encumber or otherwise dispose of any award, such award and all rights thereunder shall immediately become null and void.


 



    	 



     


    

 


5.5
Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock
or the payment of any cash pursuant to an award made hereunder, payment by the holder of such award of any federal, state, local or other
taxes which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with such award. An Agreement may provide that (i) the Company shall
withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to a holder, having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined
as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with an award (the “Tax Date”), or withhold
an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation or (ii) the holder
may satisfy any such obligation by any of the following means (or by other means that the Committee deems appropriate): (A) a cash payment
or delivery of cash equivalents to the Company; (B) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the
Company) to the Company of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the
Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation; (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common
Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount
of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, in either case equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation; (D)
in the case of the exercise of an option, a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the participant has submitted
an irrevocable notice of exercise or (E) any combination of (A), (B) and (C), in each case to the extent set forth in the Agreement relating
to the award. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the amount
determined by applying the minimum statutory withholding rate (or, if permitted by the Company, such other rate as will not cause adverse
accounting consequences under the accounting rules then in effect, and is permitted under applicable IRS withholding rules). Any fraction
of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall
be paid in cash by the holder.


 


5.6
Restrictions on Shares. Each award made hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines
that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award upon any securities exchange or under
any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition
of, or in connection with, the delivery of shares thereunder, such shares shall not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification,
consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company
may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to any award made hereunder bear a legend indicating
that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.


 


5.7
Adjustment. 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 shares of Common Stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization
through an extraordinary cash dividend, the number and class of securities available under this Plan, the terms of each outstanding option
and SAR (including the number and class of securities subject to each outstanding option or SAR and the purchase price or base price
per share), the terms of each outstanding Stock Award (including the number and class of securities subject thereto), the terms of each
outstanding Performance Award (including the number and class of securities subject thereto, if applicable) shall be appropriately adjusted
by the Committee, such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding options and SARs in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.
In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete
liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate
and equitable by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of participants. In either case, the decision of the Committee
regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.


 



    	 



     


    

 


5.8
Change in Control.


 


(a)
Subject to the terms of the applicable award Agreements, in the event of a “Change in Control,” the Board, as constituted
prior to the Change in Control, may, in its discretion:


 


	 	(1)	require
    that (i) some or all outstanding options and SARs shall become exercisable in full or in part, either immediately or upon a subsequent
    termination of employment, (ii) the Restriction Period applicable to some or all outstanding Stock Awards shall lapse in full or
    in part, either immediately or upon a subsequent termination of employment, (iii) the Performance Period applicable to some or all
    outstanding awards shall lapse in full or in part, and (iv) the Performance Measures applicable to some or all outstanding awards
    shall be deemed to be satisfied at the target, maximum or any other level;
	 	 	 
	 	(2)	require
    that shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from or succeeding to the business of the Company pursuant to such Change
    in Control, or a parent corporation thereof, be substituted for some or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding
    award, with an appropriate and equitable adjustment to such award as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 5.7;
    and/or
	 	 	 
	 	(3)	require
    outstanding awards, in whole or in part, to be surrendered to the Company by the holder, and to be immediately cancelled by the Company,
    and to provide for the holder to receive (i) a cash payment in an amount equal to (A) in the case of an option or an SAR, the aggregate
    number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the portion of such option or SAR surrendered, whether or not vested or exercisable,
    multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of the Change in Control, over
    the purchase price or base price per share of Common Stock subject to such option or SAR, (B) in the case of a Stock Award or a Performance
    Award denominated in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the portion of such award surrendered
    to the extent the Performance Measures applicable to such award have been satisfied or are deemed satisfied pursuant to Section
    5.8(a)(i), whether or not vested, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of the Change
    in Control, and (C) in the case of a Performance Award denominated in cash, the value of the Performance Award then subject to the
    portion of such award surrendered to the extent the Performance Measures applicable to such award have been satisfied or are deemed
    satisfied pursuant to Section 5.8(a)(i); (ii) shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from or succeeding to the
    business of the Company pursuant to such Change in Control, or a parent corporation thereof, having a fair market value not less
    than the amount determined under clause (i) above; or (iii) a combination of the payment of cash pursuant to clause (i) above and
    the issuance of shares pursuant to clause (ii) above.


 









    	 



     


    




 


(b)
For purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean:


 


	 	(1)	The
    consummation of an amalgamation, merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization
    of the Company, if more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities
    outstanding immediately after such amalgamation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization (or, if applicable, more than fifty
    percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the ultimate parent company that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of
    the securities of such continuing or surviving entity) is not owned directly or indirectly by persons who were holders of the Company’s
    then-outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such amalgamation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization;
	 	 	 
	 	(2)	The
    sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity that is not a parent,
    a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company;
	 	 	 
	 	(3)	Any
    transaction as a result of which any person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
    Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented
    by the Company’s then-outstanding voting securities. For purposes of this subsection, the term “person” shall have
    the same meaning as when used in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude: (i) any parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate
    of the Company; (ii) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, a parent, or any Subsidiary
    or Affiliate; and (iii) any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities;
	 	 	 
	 	(4)	A
    change in the composition of the Board over a period of twenty four (24) consecutive months or less as a result of which individuals
    who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute
    at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual subsequently becoming a director whose election,
    or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then
    comprising the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named
    as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be considered as though such individual were a member
    of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result
    of either an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board; or
	 	 	 
	 	(5)	The
    stockholders of the Company approve a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company;


 


provided,
that with respect to any nonqualified deferred compensation that becomes payable on account of the Change in Control, the transaction
or event described in clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) also constitutes a “change in control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-3(i)(5) if required in order for the payment not to violate Section 409A of the Code.


 


5.9
Deferrals. The Committee may determine that the delivery of shares of Common Stock or the payment of cash, or a combination
thereof, upon the settlement of all or a portion of any award made hereunder shall be deferred, or the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
approve deferral elections made by holders of awards. Deferrals shall be for such periods and upon such terms as the Committee may determine
in its sole discretion, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.


 



    	 



     


    

 


5.10
No Right of Participation, Employment or Service. Unless otherwise set forth in an employment agreement, no person shall have
any right to participate in this Plan. Neither this Plan nor any award made hereunder shall confer upon any person any right to continued
employment by or service with the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate or affect in any manner the right of the Company, any Subsidiary
or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of any person at any time without liability hereunder.


 


5.11
Non-Uniform Determinations. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation determinations
of the persons to receive awards, the form, amount and time of such awards, the terms and provisions of such awards and the Agreements
evidencing awards) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, awards
under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.


 


5.12
Rights as Stockholder. No person shall have any right as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common
Stock or other equity security of the Company which is subject to an award hereunder unless and until such person becomes a stockholder
of record with respect to such shares of Common Stock or equity security.


 


5.13
Designation of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Company, a holder of an award may file with the Company a written
designation of one or more persons as such holder’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (both primary and contingent) in the event of
the holder’s death or incapacity. To the extent an outstanding option or SAR granted hereunder is exercisable, such beneficiary
or beneficiaries shall be entitled to exercise such option or SAR pursuant to procedures prescribed by the Company. Each beneficiary
designation shall become effective only when filed in writing with the Company during the holder’s lifetime on a form prescribed
by the Company. The spouse of a married holder domiciled in a community property jurisdiction shall join in any designation of a beneficiary
other than such spouse. The filing with the Company of a new beneficiary designation shall cancel all previously filed beneficiary designations.
If a holder fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries of a holder predecease the holder, then each outstanding
award held by such holder, to the extent vested or exercisable, shall be payable to or may be exercised by such holder’s executor,
administrator, legal representative or similar person.


 


5.14
Awards Subject to Clawback. The awards granted under this Plan and any cash payment or shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant
to such an award are subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to the applicable award 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.


 


5.15
Governing Law. This Plan, each award hereunder and the related Agreement, and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant
thereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.


 


5.16
Foreign Employees. Without amending this Plan, the Committee may grant awards to eligible persons who are foreign nationals
and/or reside outside of the United States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgment
of the Committee be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Plan and, in furtherance of such
purposes the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to
comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates operates or
has employees.


 


5.17
Severability and Reformation. If any provision of the Plan or any award is, becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or award, or would disqualify the Plan or any award under any law deemed applicable
by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed
or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the award, such provision
shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or award and the remainder of the Plan and any such award shall remain in full force
and effect.


 



    	 



     


    

 


5.18
Unfunded Status of Awards; No Trust of Fund Created. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan. Neither
the Plan nor any award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between
the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate and a participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate pursuant to an award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general
unsecured creditors of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate.


 


5.19
No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any parent, Subsidiary
or Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements (whether such arrangements be generally applicable
or applicable only in specific cases).


 


5.20
No Restriction of Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to limit or impair the power of the Company
or any parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes in its capital or business
structure, or to amalgamate, merge or consolidate, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets or to take other
actions which it deems to be necessary or appropriate. No employee, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company
or any parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate as a result of such action.
