(b) Without limiting the scope of the Administrators
discretion hereunder, the Administrator may impose such other restrictions on the exercise of Incentive Stock Options (whether or not in the nature of the foregoing restrictions) as it may deem necessary or appropriate.



(c) If Shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option are disposed of in a disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code by an Optionee prior to the expiration of either two years from the date of grant of such Option or one year from the transfer of Shares to the
Optionee pursuant to the exercise of such Option, or in any other disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, such Optionee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable thereafter of the date and terms of
such disposition and, if the Company (or any affiliate thereof) thereupon has a tax withholding obligation, shall pay to the company (or such affiliate) an amount equal to any withholding tax the Company (or affiliate) is required to pay as a result
of the disqualifying disposition.

methods:



(i) cash or a certified

discretion, by delivery of an assignment satisfactory in form and substance to the Company of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale of Shares to be acquired pursuant to such exercise and an instruction to the broker or selling agent to
pay that amount to the Company; or



(v) by a combination of such methods of payment or any other method acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion.



(b) Except in the case of Options exercised by certified or bank cashiers check, the Administrator may impose limitations and
prohibitions on the exercise of Options as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, any limitation or prohibition designed to avoid accounting consequences which may result from the use of Common Stock as payment upon exercise of an
Option. Any fractional Shares resulting from an Optionees election that is accepted by the Company shall be paid in cash.



|11. |  | EXERCISE BY SUCCESSORS.
|--- |  | -----------------------



An Option may be exercised, and payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price made, by the Successors of the Optionee only by written
notice (in the form prescribed by the Administrator) to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall state that the aggregate Option Price will be paid in full, or that the Option will be exercised as otherwise
provided hereunder, in the discretion of the Company or the Administrator, if and as applicable.

Each Option granted under the Plan shall by its terms be nontransferable by the Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution of the state wherein the Optionee is domiciled at the time of his death; provided, however, that the Administrator may (but need not) permit other transfers of Non-Qualified Options where the Administrator concludes that such

| | 13.1. |  | In General.
| | ----- |  | -----------



The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any payments or deemed payments any amount of tax withholding determined by the

deems necessary to satisfy the Companys obligation to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the exercise of any Option.



9



---



| | 13.2. |  | Share Withholding.
| | ----- |  | ------------------



Upon the exercise of an Option, the Optionee may, if approved by the Administrator in its discretion, make a written election to have
Shares then issued withheld by the Company from the Shares otherwise to be received, or to deliver previously owned Shares, in order to satisfy the liability for such withholding taxes. In the event that the Optionee makes, and the Administrator
permits, such an election, the number of Shares so withheld or delivered shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.



| | 13.3. |  | Withholding Required.
| | ----- |  | ---------------------



Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Optionees satisfaction of any tax-withholding requirements
imposed by the Administrator shall be a condition precedent to the Companys obligation as may otherwise be provided hereunder to provide Shares to the Optionee and to the release of any restrictions as may otherwise be provided hereunder, as
applicable; and the applicable Option shall be forfeited upon the failure of the Optionee to satisfy such requirements with respect to the exercise of the Option.

|--- |  | -------------------------



(a) The obligation of the Company to sell Shares with respect to an Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws,
rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator.



(b) The Administrator may make such changes to the Plan as may
be necessary or appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government authority or to obtain tax benefits applicable to an Option.



(c) Each grant of Options is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Administrator determines, in its discretion, that the
listing, registration or qualification of Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of Options no payment shall be made in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions in a manner acceptable
to the Administrator.



(d) In the event that the
disposition of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act, and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent
required under the Securities Act, and the Administrator may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to represent to the Company in writing that such Shares will be disposed
of only if registered for sale under the Securities Act or if there is an available exemption for such disposition.



10



---



|15. |  | INTERPRETATION AND AMENDMENTS, OTHER RULES.
|--- |  | -------------------------------------------



15.1. The Administrator may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of the Plan as it deems
appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may (i) determine the extent, if any, to which Options shall be forfeited (whether or not such forfeiture is expressly contemplated hereunder); (ii) interpret the Plan
and the Grant Letters hereunder, with such interpretations to be conclusive and binding on all persons and otherwise accorded the maximum deference permitted by law, provided that the Administrators interpretation shall not be entitled to
deference on and after a Change of Control except to the extent that such interpretations are made exclusively by members of the Administrator who are individuals who served as Administrator members before the Change of Control; and (iii) take any
other actions and make any other determinations or decisions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan or the administration or interpretation thereof. Unless otherwise expressly provided hereunder, the Administrator, with
respect to any grant, may exercise its discretion hereunder at the time of the grant or thereafter. In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of the Plan or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as to any question,
right or obligation arising from or related to the Plan, the decision of the Administrator, except as provided in clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, shall be final and binding upon all persons. The Board may amend the Plan as it shall deem
advisable, except that no amendment may adversely affect an Optionee with respect to an Option previously granted unless such amendments are required in order to comply with applicable laws; provided that the Board may not make any amendment in the
Plan that would, if such amendment were not approved by the holders of the Common Stock, cause the Plan to fail to comply with any requirement of applicable law or regulation, unless and until the approval of the holders of such Common Stock is
obtained.



|16. |  | CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE; CHANGE OF CONTROL.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------



| | 16.1. |  | Changes in Capital Structure.
| | ----- |  | -----------------------------



(a) If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of
shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar change
in the capital structure of the Company or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than cash dividends, shall occur or (iii) any other event shall occur which in the judgment of the Administrator necessitates action by way of adjusting the
terms of the outstanding Options, then (x) the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be made subject to Options under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Administrator; and (y) the Administrator shall take any such action as in
its judgment shall be necessary to preserve the Optionees rights in their respective Options substantially proportionate to the rights existing in such Options prior to such event, including, without limitation, adjustments in (A) the number
of Options granted, (B) the number and kind of shares or other property to be distributed in respect of Options, and (C) the Exercise Price.



11



---



| | 16.2. |  | Change of Control or Approved Sale.
| | ----- |  | -----------------------------------



(a) Upon a Change of Control or an Approved Sale unless otherwise provided in an Optionees Grant Letter, the vesting and
exercisability of all Options that are outstanding and unexercised as of such Change of Control, to the extent unvested, and any unvested shares held by the Optionee shall be accelerated such that all outstanding Options are fully vested and
exercisable and all Shares held by the Optionee are fully vested, and, if the Company does not survive such Change of Control or an Approved Sale, the Company shall, if the Company does not cash-out all outstanding options, require the successor
corporation to the Company to assume all outstanding Options and to substitute such Options with awards involving the common stock of such successor corporation on terms and conditions necessary to preserve the rights of Optionees with respect to
such Options. Upon a Change of Control or an Approved Sale, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may require the Company to cancel all outstanding vested Options (including those Options vested upon a Change of Control or an Approved Sale) in
exchange for a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option as of the date of the Change of Control or Approved Sale over the Option Price of
