This Award shall be administered by the Board. The Board may, however, appoint a Committee to administer the Award which shall
consist of not less than a sufficient number of disinterested members of the Board so as to qualify the Committee to administer

of its designee shall be personally liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Award.


 


	3.	The
    Award
	 	 
	3.1	Grant and Issuance
    of Shares


 


Upon
the later of (a) the Grant Date and (b) the date the Notice shall have been fully executed, the Participant shall acquire and
the Corporation shall issue, subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement, a number of Shares equal to the Total Number of
Restricted Stock set forth in the Notice. As a condition to the issuance of the Shares, the Participant shall execute and deliver
to the Corporation, along with the Notice, the Assignment Separate from Certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of Shares
blank) in the form attached to the Award Agreement.


 


	3.2	Beneficial
    Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration


 


The
Participant hereby authorizes the Corporation, in its sole discretion, to deposit the Shares with the Corporation’s transfer
agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form during the term of the Escrow pursuant to Section
6. Furthermore, the Participant hereby authorizes the Corporation, in its sole discretion, to deposit, following the term of such
Escrow, for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the
Corporation has notice any or all Shares which are no longer subject to such Escrow. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate
for the Shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.


 




    	 



    	 



    

  


	3.3	Issuance of
    Shares in Compliance with Law


 


The
issuance of the Shares shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect
to such securities. No Shares shall be issued hereunder if their issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable federal,
state, or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon
which the stock may then be listed. The inability of the Corporation to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the
authority, if any, deemed by the Corporation’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Shares shall
relieve the Corporation of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall
not have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of the Shares, the Corporation may require the Participant to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make
any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Corporation.


 


	3.4	No Monetary
    Payment Required


 


The
Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than to satisfy applicable tax withholding, if any, with respect
to the issuance or vesting of the Shares) as a condition to receiving the Shares, the consideration for which shall be services
actually rendered or future services to be rendered to the Corporation or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required
by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or services rendered to the Corporation or
for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the Shares issued pursuant to the Award.


 


	4.	Vesting

The
restrictions on the Restricted Stock shall expire and the Restricted Stock shall become non-forfeitable as provided in the Notice.


 


	5.	Termination
    Of Service And Corporation Reacquisition Right
	 	 
	5.1	Termination
    of Service


 


Except
in the event of termination due to Participant’s death and Total Disability, vesting of the Restricted Stock Award shall
cease upon Participant’s termination of service to the Corporation.


 


	5.2	Termination
    of Service Due to Participant’s Death or Total Disability


 


In
the event of a termination of service due to Participant’s death or Total Disability, the Shares subject to the Restricted
Stock Award shall immediately be deemed Vested Shares.


 


	5.3	Reacquisition
    Right


 


In
the event that (a) the Participant’s service to the Corporation is terminated or, (b) the Participant, the Participant’s
legal representative, or other holder of Shares acquired pursuant to this Award Agreement, attempts to sell, exchange, transfer,
pledge, or otherwise dispose of (other than pursuant to an Change-in-Control), including, without limitation, any transfer to
a nominee or agent of the Participant, any Shares which are not Vested Shares (“Unvested Shares”), the
Corporation shall automatically reacquire the Unvested Shares, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor
(the “Corporation Reacquisition Right”).


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


	6.	Escrow
	 	 
	6.1	Appointment
    of Agent


 


To
ensure that Shares subject to the Corporation Reacquisition Right will be available for reacquisition, the Participant and the
Corporation may appoint a person or Corporation as their agent and as attorney-in-fact for the Participant (the “Agent”)
to hold any and all Unvested Shares and to sell, assign and transfer to the Corporation any such Unvested Shares reacquired
by the Corporation pursuant to the Corporation Reacquisition Right. The Participant understands that appointment of the Agent
is a material inducement to make this Restricted Stock Award and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
The Agent shall not be personally liable for any act the Agent may do or omit to do hereunder as escrow agent, agent for the Corporation,
or attorney in fact for the Participant while acting in good faith and in the exercise of the Agent’s own good judgment,
and any act done or omitted by the Agent pursuant to the advice of the Agent’s own attorneys shall be conclusive evidence
of such good faith. The Agent may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purporting to be genuine
and may resign at any time.


 


	6.2	Establishment
    of Escrow


 


The
Participant authorizes the Corporation to deposit the unvested Shares with the Corporation’s transfer agent to be held in
book entry form, as provided in Section 3.2, and the Participant agrees to deliver to and deposit with the Agent each certificate,
if any, evidencing the Shares and an Assignment Separate from Certificate with respect to such book entry Shares and each such
certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of Shares blank) in the form attached to the Award Agreement, to be held by the
Agent under the terms and conditions of this Section 6 (the “Escrow”). Upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control or a change, as described in Section 8, in the character or amount of any outstanding stock of the corporation the
stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement , any and all new, substituted or additional securities or
other property to which the Participant is entitled by reason of his ownership of the Shares that remain, following such Change
in Control or change described in Section 8, subject to the Corporation Reacquisition Right shall be immediately subject to the
Escrow to the same extent as the Shares immediately before such event. The Corporation shall bear the expenses of the Escrow.


 




    	 



    	 



    

  


	6.3	Delivery of
    Shares to Participant


 


The
Escrow shall continue with respect to any Shares for so long as such Shares remain subject to the Corporation Reacquisition Right.
Upon termination of the Reacquisition Right with respect to Shares, the Corporation shall so notify the Agent and direct the Agent
to deliver such number of Shares to the Participant. As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice, the Agent shall cause
to be delivered to the Participant the Shares specified by such notice, and the Escrow shall terminate with respect to such Shares.


 


	7.	Board
    Discretion


 


The Board,
in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock at
any time, subject to the terms of the Award. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock will be considered as having vested as of
the date specified by the Board.


 


	8.	Change
    in Control


 


In the event
of a Change in Control, one hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Stock subject to this Award will vest on the date of the
Change of Control. In the event that any applicable law limits the Corporation’s ability to accelerate the vesting of this
Award, this Section 8 will be limited to the extent required to comply with applicable law.


 


	9.	Tax
    Withholding
	 	 
	9.1	In General


 


Regardless
of any action taken by the Corporation with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account
or other tax-related withholding obligations (the “Tax Obligations”), the Participant acknowledges that
the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility
and that the Corporation (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection
with any aspect of the Restricted Stock, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the award, the subsequent sale of shares
acquired pursuant to such settlement, or the receipt of any dividends and (b) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant
or any other aspect of the award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax Obligations. The Participant
shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation to satisfy all Tax Obligations of the Corporation and
any other Participating Corporation at the time such Tax Obligations arise. In this regard, at the time the award is settled,
in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Corporation or any other Participating Corporation, the Participant
hereby authorizes withholding of all applicable Tax Obligations from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant,
and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for withholding of all applicable Tax Obligations, if any, by each Participating
Corporation which arise in connection with the award. The Corporation shall have no obligation to process the settlement of the
award or to deliver shares until the Tax Obligations as described in this Section have been satisfied by the Participant.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


	9.2	Withholding
    in Shares


 


Subject
to compliance with applicable law, the Corporation may require the Participant to satisfy all or any portion of the Tax Obligations
by deducting from Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant in settlement of the Award a number of whole Shares having a
fair market value, as determined by the Corporation as of the date on which the Tax Obligations arise, not in excess of the amount
of such Tax Obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.


 


	10.	Rights
    as Stockholder


 


Neither
the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder
of the Corporation in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which
may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Corporation or its transfer agents or registrars,
and delivered to the Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). Notwithstanding any contrary
provisions in this Terms and Conditions, any quarterly or other regular, periodic dividends or distributions (as determined by
the Corporation) paid on Shares will not affect unvested Restricted Stock, and no such dividends or other distributions will be
paid on unvested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock that are vested but unpaid. After such issuance, recordation and delivery,
the Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of
dividends and distributions on such Shares.


 


	11.	No
    Effect on Employment


 


Subject
to any employment contract with the Participant, the terms of such employment will be determined from time to time by the Corporation,
or the affiliate employing the Participant, as the case may be, and the Corporation, or the affiliate employing the Participant,
as the case may be, will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment
of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The transactions contemplated hereunder
and the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any
period of time. A leave of absence or an interruption in service (including an interruption during military service) authorized
or acknowledged by the Corporation or the affiliate employing the Participant, as the case may be, will not be deemed a termination
of service for the purposes of this Award.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


	12.	Changes
    in Shares


 


In
the event that as a result of a stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization,
combination of the Shares or the adjustment in capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise, or as a result of a merger, consolidation,
spin-off or other corporate transaction or event, the Restricted Stock will be increased, reduced or otherwise affected, and by
virtue of any such event the Participant will in his capacity as owner of unvested Restricted Stock that have been awarded to
him (the “Prior Restricted Stock”) be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock, cash
or other securities or property (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different Stocks,
cash or securities or property will thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and will be subject to all of the
conditions and restrictions that were applicable to the Prior Restricted Stock pursuant to the Notice and Terms and Conditions.
If the Participant receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Restricted Stock, such rights or warrants may be held
or exercised by the Participant, provided that until such exercise, any such rights or warrants, and after such exercise, any
shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants, will be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock
and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions that were applicable to the Prior Restricted Stock pursuant to the
Notice and Terms and Conditions. The Board in its sole discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion
of such new or additional shares of stock, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities
acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants.


 


	13.	Address

This
Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed
of any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar

    Conditions to Issuance of Certificates for Shares


 


The
Corporation will not be required to issue any certificate or certificates (which may be in book entry form) for Shares hereunder
prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which
such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any U.
S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental
regulatory body, which the Board will, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval

the shares in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.

the event that any provision in the Notice or the Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be

of this Award.

Notice and the Terms and Conditions constitute the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Participant
