(a)            Duties
and Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee and the Committee shall have exclusive and final authority in each
determination, interpretation or other action affecting the Plan and its Participants. The Committee shall have the sole discretionary
authority to interpret the Plan, to establish and modify administrative rules for the Plan, to impose such conditions and restrictions
on Awards as it determines appropriate, and to make all factual determinations with respect to and take such steps in connection with
the Plan and Awards granted hereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. The Committee may delegate such of its powers and authority
under the Plan as it deems appropriate to a subcommittee of the Committee or designated officers or employees of the Company. In addition,
the full Board may exercise any of the powers and authority of the Committee under the Plan. In the event of such delegation of authority
or exercise of authority by the Board, references in the Plan to the Committee shall be deemed to refer, as appropriate, to the delegate
of the Committee or the Board. Actions taken by the Committee or any subcommittee thereof, and any delegation by the Committee to designated
officers or employees, under this Section 3.01 shall comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the regulations
promulgated under such statutory provisions, or the successors to such statutory provisions or regulations, as in effect from time to
time, to the extent applicable.





 


(b)            Indemnification.
Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Board or the Committee, or an officer or employee of the Company to whom authority
was delegated in accordance with the Plan shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability,
or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such individual in connection with or resulting from any claim, action,
suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to
act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval,
or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall
give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it
on his or her own behalf; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any loss, cost, liability, or expense
that is a result of his or her own willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights
of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, conferred in
a separate agreement with the Company, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold
them harmless.

SHARES


 


4.01.        Number
of Shares Issuable. The total number of shares initially authorized to be issued under the Plan shall be 61,112,700 shares
(pre-split, 3,300,000 shares approximately post-split) of Common Stock. The foregoing share limit shall

of shares of Common Stock available for the grant of Awards hereunder.


 


ARTICLE V


 


PARTICIPATION


 


5.01.        Eligible
Participants. Participants in the Plan shall be such employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may designate from time to time. The Committee's designation of a Participant in any year shall not
require the Committee to designate such person to receive Awards or grants in any other year. The designation of a Participant to receive
Awards or grants under one portion of the Plan does not require the Committee to include such Participant under other portions of the
Plan. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the type and amount
of their respective Awards.


 


ARTICLE VI


 


STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS


 


6.01.        Option
Awards.


 


(a)            Grant
of Options. The Committee may grant, to such Participants as the Committee may select, Options entitling the Participant to purchase
shares of Common Stock from the Company in such number, at such price, and on such terms and subject to such conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of this Plan, as may be established by the Committee. The terms of any Option granted under this Plan shall be set forth
in an Award Agreement.


 


(b)            Purchase
Price of Options. Subject to the requirements applicable to Incentive Stock Options under Section 6.01(d), the Purchase Price
of each share of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of any Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee.


 






    8


     


    

 


(c)            Designation
of Options. The Committee shall designate, at the time of the grant of each Option, the Option as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified
Stock Option; provided, however, that an Option may be designated as an Incentive Stock Option only if the applicable Participant
is an employee of the Company on the Date of Grant.


 


(d)            Special
Incentive Stock Option Rules. No Participant may be granted Incentive Stock Options under the Incentive Plan (or any other plans
of the Company) that would result in Incentive Stock Options to purchase shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured
on the Date of Grant) of more than $100,000 first becoming exercisable by the Participant in any one calendar year. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Incentive Plan to the contrary, the Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be equal to or greater
than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option as of the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option;
provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who, at the time the Option is granted,
owns stock (including stock owned by application of the constructive ownership rules in Section 424(d) of the Code) possessing
more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, unless at the time the Incentive
Stock Option is granted the price of the Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
subject to the Incentive Stock Option and the Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable for more than five years from the
Date of Grant.


 


(e)            Rights
As a Stockholder. A Participant or a transferee of an Option pursuant to Section 11.04 shall have no rights as a stockholder
with respect to Common Stock covered by an Option until the Participant or transferee shall have become the holder of record of any such
shares, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends in cash or other property or distributions or other rights with respect to any such
Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date on which the Participant or a transferee of the Option shall have become the
holder of record of any such shares covered by the Option; provided, however, that Participants are entitled to share adjustments to reflect
capital changes under Section 11.07.


 


6.02.        Stock
Appreciation Rights.


 


(a)            Stock
Appreciation Right Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to any Participant one or more Stock Appreciation Rights. Such Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted either independent of or in tandem with Options granted to the same Participant. Stock Appreciation
Rights granted in tandem with Options may be granted simultaneously with, or, in the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options, subsequent to,
the grant to such Participant of the related Option; provided however, that: (i) any Option covering any share of Common Stock shall
expire and not be exercisable upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right with respect to the same share, (ii) any Stock Appreciation
Right covering any share of Common Stock shall expire and not be exercisable upon the exercise of any related Option with respect to the
same share, and (iii) an Option and Stock Appreciation Right covering the same share of Common Stock may not be exercised simultaneously.
Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right with respect to a share of Common Stock, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the Exercise
Price of such Stock Appreciation Right established in the Award Agreement, which amount shall be payable as provided in Section 6.02(c).


 






    9


     


    

 


(b)            Exercise
Price. The Exercise Price established under any Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee,
but in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options shall not be less than the Purchase Price of the related Option.
Upon exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with options, the number of shares subject to exercise under any related
Option shall automatically be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Option or portion thereof which are surrendered
as a result of the exercise of such Stock Appreciation Rights.


 


(c)            Payment
of Incremental Value. Any payment which may become due from the Company by reason of a Participant's exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right may be paid to the Participant as determined by the Committee (i) all in cash, (ii) all in Common Stock, or (iii) in
any combination of cash and Common Stock. In the event that all or a portion of the payment is made in Common Stock, the number of shares
of Common Stock delivered in satisfaction of such payment shall be determined by dividing the amount of such payment or portion thereof
by the Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date. No fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued to make any payment in respect of Stock
Appreciation Rights; if any fractional share would be issuable, the combination of cash and Common Stock payable to the Participant shall
be adjusted as directed by the Committee to avoid the issuance of any fractional share.


 


6.03.        Terms
of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.


 


(a)            Conditions
on Exercise. An Award Agreement with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may contain such waiting periods, exercise dates
and restrictions on exercise (including, but not limited to, periodic installments) as may be determined by the Committee at the time
of grant. In the event the Committee grants an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be subject to Section 409A of the Code,
the Committee may include such additional terms, conditions and restrictions on the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right
as the Committee deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.


 


(b)            Duration
of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following
events:


 


(i)            Expiration
of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as provided in the Award Agreement; or


 






    10


     


    

 


(ii)            Termination
of the Award in the event of a Participant's disability, Retirement, death or other Termination of Service as provided in the Award Agreement;
or


 


(iii)           In
the case of an Incentive Stock Option, ten years from the Date of Grant (five years in certain cases, as described in Section 6.01(d));
or


 


(iv)           Solely
in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option, upon the expiration of the related Option.


 


(c)            Acceleration
or Extension of Exercise Time. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not be obligated), exercisable
on or at any time after the Date of Grant, to permit the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right (i) prior to the time
such Option or Stock Appreciation Right would become exercisable under the terms of the Award Agreement, (ii) after the termination
of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the terms of the Award Agreement, or (iii) after the expiration of the Option or
Stock Appreciation Right.


 


6.04.        Exercise
Procedures. Each Option and Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be exercised under such procedures and by such methods
as the Board may establish or approve from time to time. The Purchase Price of shares purchased upon exercise of an Option granted under
the Plan shall be paid in full in cash by the Participant pursuant to the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may (but
shall not be required to) permit payment to be made (a) by delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock held by the Participant,
(b) by a “net exercise” method under which the Company reduces the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise
by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate Exercise Price, or (c) such other
consideration as the Committee deems appropriate and in compliance with applicable law (including payment under an arrangement constituting
a brokerage transaction as permitted under the provisions of Regulation T applicable to cashless exercises promulgated by the Federal
Reserve Board, unless prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002). In the event that any Common Stock shall be transferred
to the Company to satisfy all or any part of the Purchase Price, the part of the Purchase Price deemed to have been satisfied by such
transfer of Common Stock shall be equal to the product derived by multiplying the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise times the
number of shares of Common Stock transferred to the Company. The Participant may not transfer to the Company in satisfaction of the Purchase
Price any fractional share of Common Stock. Any part of the Purchase Price paid in cash upon the exercise of any Option shall be added
to the general funds of the Company and may be used for any proper corporate purpose. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine,
any Common Stock transferred to the Company as payment of all or part of the Purchase Price upon the exercise of any Option shall be held
as treasury shares.


 


6.05.        Change
in Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, no
accelerated vesting of any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding on the date of such Change in Control shall occur.





 






    11


     


    

 


6.06         Early
Exercise. An Option may, but need not, include a provision by which the Participant may elect to exercise the Option in whole or in
part prior to the date the Option is fully vested. The provision may be included in the Award Agreement at the time of grant of the Option
or may be added to the Award Agreement by amendment at a later time. In the event of an early exercise of an Option, any shares of Common
Stock received shall be subject to a special repurchase right in favor of the Company with terms established by the Board. The Board shall
determine the time and/or the event that causes the repurchase right to terminate and fully vest the Common Stock in the Participant.
Alternatively, in the sole discretion of the Board, one or more Participants may be granted stock purchase rights allowing them to purchase
shares of Common Stock outright, subject to conditions and restrictions as the Board may determine.


 


ARTICLE VII


 


RESTRICTED SHARES AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS


 


7.01.        Award
of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may grant to any Participant an Award of Restricted Shares consisting
of a specified number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant subject to such terms, conditions and forfeiture and transfer
restrictions, whether based on performance standards, periods of service, retention by the Participant of ownership of specified shares
of Common Stock or other criteria, as the Committee shall establish. The Committee may also grant Restricted Stock Units representing
the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions, whether based on performance
standards, periods of service, retention by the Participant of ownership of specified shares of Common Stock or other criteria, as the
Committee shall establish. The terms of any Restricted Share and Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted under this Plan shall be set forth
in an Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with this Plan.


 


7.02         Restricted
Shares.


 


(a)            Issuance
of Restricted Shares. As soon as practicable after the Date of Grant of a Restricted Share Award by the Committee, the Company shall
cause to be transferred on the books of the Company, or its agent, Common Stock, registered on behalf of the Participant, evidencing the
Restricted Shares covered by the Award, but subject to forfeiture to the Company as of the Date of Grant if an Award Agreement with respect
to the Restricted Shares covered by the Award is not duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the Company. All Common Stock
covered by Awards under this Article VII shall be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the
Award Agreement entered into by the Participant. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Shares,
the share certificates representing such Restricted Shares may be held in custody by the Company, its designee, or, if the certificates
bear a restrictive legend, by the Participant. Upon the lapse or release of all restrictions with respect to an Award as described in
Section 7.02(d), one or more share certificates, registered in the name of the Participant, for an appropriate number of shares as
provided in Section 7.02(d), free of any restrictions set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be delivered to the Participant.


 






    12


     


    




 


(b)            Stockholder
Rights. Beginning on the Date of Grant of the Restricted Share Award and subject to execution of the Award Agreement as provided in
Section 7.02(a), the Participant shall become a stockholder of the Company with respect to all shares subject to the Award Agreement
and shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such shares and the right to receive
dividends; provided, however, that any Common Stock distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any Restricted Shares as to
which the restrictions have not yet lapsed, shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Shares and held or restricted
as provided in Section 7.02(a).


 


(c)            Restriction
on Transferability. None of the Restricted Shares may be assigned or transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
or to an inter vivos trust with respect to which the Participant is treated as the owner under Sections 671 through 677 of the Code, except
to the extent that Section 16 of the Exchange Act limits a Participant's right to make such transfers), pledged or sold prior to
lapse of the restrictions applicable thereto.


 


(d)            Delivery
of Shares Upon Vesting. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the forfeiture period without a forfeiture and the satisfaction
of or release from any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, or at such earlier time as provided under the provisions of Section 7.04,
the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall lapse. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, subject to the
requirements of Section 11.05, the Company shall deliver to the Participant or, in case of the Participant's death, to the Participant's
Beneficiary, one or more share certificates for the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, free of all such restrictions, except
for any restrictions that may be imposed by law.


 


(e)            Forfeiture
of Restricted Shares. Subject to Sections 7.02(f) and 7.04, all Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company
and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares shall terminate unless the Participant continues in the service
of the Company or an Affiliate as an employee until the expiration of the forfeiture period for such Restricted Shares and satisfies any
and all other conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. The Committee shall determine the forfeiture period (which may, but need not,
lapse in installments) and any other terms and conditions applicable with respect to any Restricted Share Award.


 


(f)            Waiver
of Forfeiture Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Award Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including
the death, disability or Retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject
to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted Shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

7.03.       Restricted
Stock Units.


 


(a)            Settlement
of Restricted Stock Units. Payments shall be made to Participants with respect to their Restricted Stock Units as soon as practicable
after the Committee has determined that the terms and conditions applicable to such Award have been satisfied or at a later date if distribution
has been deferred. Payments to Participants with respect to Restricted Stock Units shall be made in the form of Common Stock, or cash
or a combination of both, as the Committee may determine. The amount of any cash to be paid in lieu of Common Stock shall be determined
on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date any such payment is processed. As to shares of Common Stock which
constitute all or any part of such payment, the Committee may impose such restrictions concerning their transferability and/or their forfeiture
as may be provided in the applicable Award Agreement or as the Committee may otherwise determine, provided such determination is made
on or before the date certificates for such shares are first delivered to the applicable Participant.


 


(b)            Shareholder
Rights. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Stock Units, no shares of Common Stock
shall be issued in respect of such Awards and no Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the
shares of Common Stock covered by such Award of Restricted Stock Units.


 


(c)            Waiver
of Forfeiture Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Award Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including
the death, disability or retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject
to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of shares issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock
Units constituting an Award) as the Committee shall deem appropriate.


 


(d)            Deferral
of Payment. If approved by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant may elect to defer the amount
payable with respect to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units in accordance with such terms as may be established by the Committee,
subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.


 


7.04        Change
in Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, no acceleration of the termination of any
of the restrictions applicable to Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall occur in the event of a Change in Control.

Periods and Calculations of Potential Incentive Amounts. The Committee may grant Performance Awards to Participants. A Performance
Award shall consist of the right to receive a payment (measured by the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock,
increases in such Fair Market Value during the Award Period and/or a fixed cash amount) contingent upon the extent to which certain predetermined
performance targets have been met during an Award Period. The Award Period shall be two or more fiscal or calendar years as determined

such as those who are promoted or newly hired, to receive Performance Awards after an Award Period has commenced.

Targets. Subject to Section 11.18, the performance targets applicable to a Performance Award may include such goals related to
the performance of the Company or, where relevant, any one or more of its Subsidiaries or divisions and/or the performance of a Participant
as may be established by the Committee in its discretion. The performance targets established by the Committee may vary for different
Award Periods and need not be the same for each Participant receiving a Performance Award in an Award Period.


 


(c)            Earning
Performance Awards. The Committee, at or as soon as practicable after the Date of Grant, shall prescribe a formula to determine the
percentage of the Performance Award to be earned based upon the degree of attainment of the applicable performance targets.


 


(d)            Payment
of Earned Performance Awards. Subject to the requirements of Section 11.05, payments of earned Performance Awards shall be made
in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion,
may define, and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, such terms and conditions with respect to the payment of earned Performance
Awards as it may deem desirable.


 


8.02.       Termination
of Service. In the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service during an Award Period, the Participant’s Performance
Awards shall be forfeited except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Award Agreement.

in Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, no

ARTICLE IX


 


OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS


 


9.01.         Grant
of Other Stock-Based Awards. Other stock-based awards, consisting of stock purchase rights (with or without loans to Participants
by the Company containing such terms as the Committee shall determine), Awards of Common Stock, or Awards valued in whole or in part by
reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, may be granted either alone or in addition to or in conjunction with other Awards under
the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom
and the time or times at which such Awards shall be made, the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to such Awards,
and all other conditions of the Awards. Any such Award shall be confirmed by an Award Agreement executed by the Committee and the Participant,
which Award Agreement shall contain such provisions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent
of this Plan with respect to such Award.


 


9.02.       Terms
of Other Stock-Based Awards. In addition to the terms and conditions specified in the Award Agreement, Awards made pursuant to this
Article IX shall be subject to the following:


 


(a)            Any
Common Stock subject to Awards made under this Article IX may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered
prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral
period lapses; and


 


(b)            If
specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award under this Article IX shall be entitled to receive,
currently or on a deferred basis, interest or dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the Common Stock or other securities covered
by the Award; and


 


(c)            The
Award Agreement with respect to any Award shall contain provisions dealing with the disposition of such Award in the event of a Termination
of Service prior to the exercise, payment or other settlement of such Award, whether such termination occurs because of Retirement, disability,
death or other reason, with such provisions to take account of the specific nature and purpose of the Award.

Such performance targets shall be established by the Committee no later than 90 days following the commencement of the applicable performance
period.


 


(b)            Amounts
of Awards. In conjunction with the establishment of performance targets for a fiscal year or such other short-term performance period
established by the Committee, the Committee shall adopt an objective formula (on the basis of percentages of Participants' salaries, shares
in a bonus pool or otherwise) for computing the respective amounts payable under the Plan to Participants if and to the extent that the
performance targets are attained. To the extent such formula is based on percentages of a bonus pool, such percentages shall not exceed
100% in the aggregate.


 


(c)            Payment
of Awards. Awards will be payable to Participants in cash each year upon prior written certification by the Committee of attainment
of the specified performance targets for the preceding fiscal year or other applicable performance period.


 


(d)            Negative
Discretion. Notwithstanding the attainment by the Company of the specified performance targets, the Committee shall have the discretion,
which need not be exercised uniformly among the Participants, to reduce or eliminate the award that would be otherwise paid.


 


(e)            Guidelines.
The Committee may adopt from time to time written policies for its implementation of this Article X.


 


(f)            Non-Exclusive
Arrangement. The adoption and operation of this Article X shall not preclude the Board or the Committee from approving other
short-term incentive compensation arrangements for the benefit of individuals who are Participants hereunder as the Board or Committee,
as the case may be, deems appropriate and in the best of the Company.


 






    17 


     


    

 


ARTICLE XI


 


TERMS APPLICABLE GENERALLY TO AWARDS


GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN


 


11.01.     Plan
Provisions Control Award Terms. Except as provided in Section 11.16, the terms of the Plan shall govern all Awards granted under
the Plan, and in no event shall the Committee have the power to grant any Award under the Plan which is contrary to any of the provisions
of the Plan. In the event any provision of any Award granted under the Plan shall conflict with any term in the Plan as constituted on
the Date of Grant of such Award, the term in the Plan as constituted on the Date of Grant of such Award shall control. Except as provided
in Section 11.03 and Section 11.07, the terms of any Award granted under the Plan may not be changed after the Date of Grant
of such Award so as to materially decrease the value of the Award without the express written approval of the holder.


 


11.02.     Award
Agreement. No person shall have any rights under any Award granted under the Plan unless and until the Company and the Participant
to whom such Award shall have been granted shall have executed and delivered an Award Agreement or received any other Award acknowledgment
authorized by the Committee expressly granting the Award to such person and containing provisions setting forth the terms of the Award.


 


11.03.     Modification
of Award After Grant. No Award granted under the Plan to a Participant may be modified (unless such modification does not materially
decrease the value of the Award) after the Date of Grant except by express written agreement between the Company and the Participant,
provided that any such change (a) shall not be inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, and (b) shall be approved by the Committee.


 


11.04.     Limitation
on Transfer. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c) in the case of Restricted Shares, a Participant's rights and interest
under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime
of a Participant, only the Participant personally (or the Participant's personal representative) may exercise rights under the Plan. The
Participant's Beneficiary may exercise the Participant's rights to the extent they are exercisable under the Plan following the death
of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act with respect
to Participants subject to such Section, the Committee may grant Non-Qualified Stock Options that are transferable, without payment of
consideration, to immediate family members of the Participant or to trusts or partnerships for such family members, and the Committee
may also amend outstanding Non-Qualified Stock Options to provide for such transferability.


 


11.05.     Taxes.
The Company shall be entitled, if the Committee deems it necessary or desirable, to withhold (or secure payment from the Participant in
lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to
any amount payable and/or shares issuable under such Participant's Award, or with respect to any income recognized upon a disqualifying
disposition of shares received pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, and the Company may defer payment or issuance of
the cash or shares upon exercise or vesting of an Award unless indemnified to its satisfaction against any liability for any such tax.
The amount of such withholding or tax payment shall be determined by the Committee and shall be payable by the Participant at such time
as the Committee determines in accordance with the following rules:


 


(a)            The
Participant shall have the right to elect to meet his or her withholding requirement (i) by having withheld from such Award at the
appropriate time that number of shares of Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, whose Fair Market Value is equal to the
amount of withholding taxes due, (ii) by direct payment to the Company in cash of the amount of any taxes required to be withheld
with respect to such Award or (iii) by a combination of shares and cash.


 






    18 


     


    

 


(b)            In
the case of Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee may impose such limitations and restrictions
as it deems necessary or appropriate with respect to the delivery or withholding of shares of Common Stock to meet tax withholding obligations.


 


11.06.     Surrender
of Awards; Authorization of Repricing. Any Award granted under the Plan may be surrendered to the Company for cancellation on such
terms as the Committee and the holder approve. Without requiring shareholder approval, the Committee may substitute a new Award under
this Plan in connection with the surrender by the Participant of an equity compensation award previously granted under this Plan or any
other plan sponsored by the Company, including the substitution or grant of (i) an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower
exercise price than the Option or Stock Appreciation Right being surrendered, (ii) a different type of Award upon the surrender or
cancellation of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price above the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock
on the date of such substitution or grant, or (iii) any other Award constituting a repricing of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right.


 


11.07.     Adjustments
to Reflect Capital Changes.


 


(a)            Recapitalization.
In the event of any corporate event or transaction (including, but not limited to, a change in the Common Stock or the capitalization
of the Company) such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, partial or complete liquidation, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, a combination
or exchange of Common Stock, dividend in kind, or other like change in capital structure, number of outstanding shares of Common Stock,
distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee,
in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under this Plan, shall make equitable and appropriate adjustments
and substitutions, as applicable, to or of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, the Purchase Price or Exercise
Price for such shares, the number and kind of shares available for future issuance under the Plan and the maximum number of shares in
respect of which Awards can be made to any Participant in any calendar year, and other determinations applicable to outstanding Awards.
The Committee shall have the power and sole discretion to determine the amount of the adjustment to be made in each case.


 






    19 


     


    

 


(b)            Merger.
In the event that the Company is a party to a Merger, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization.
Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the continuation of outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is a surviving
corporation), for their assumption by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary, for the substitution by the surviving corporation
or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for such Awards, for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for settlement in
cash or cash equivalents.


 


(c)            Options
to Purchase Shares or Stock of Acquired Companies. After any Merger in which the Company or an Affiliate shall be a surviving corporation,
the Committee may grant substituted options under the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to Section 424 of the Code, replacing old
options granted under a plan of another party to the Merger whose shares or stock subject to the old options may no longer be issued following
the Merger. The foregoing adjustments and manner of application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion. Any such adjustments may provide for the elimination of any fractional shares which might otherwise become subject to
any Options.


 


11.08.     No
Right to Continued Service. No person shall have any claim of right to be granted an Award under this Plan. Neither the Plan nor any
action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the service of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.


 


11.09.     Awards
Not Includable for Benefit Purposes. Payments received by a Participant pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall not be included
in the determination of benefits under any pension, group insurance or other benefit plan applicable to the Participant which is maintained
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except as may be provided under the terms of such plans or determined by the Board.


 


11.10.     Governing
Law. All determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of Delaware and construed in accordance
therewith.


 


11.11.     No
Strict Construction. No rule of strict construction shall be implied against the Company, the Committee, or any other person
in the interpretation of any of the terms of the Plan, any Award granted under the Plan or any rule or procedure established by the
Committee.


 


11.12.     Compliance
with Rule 16b-3. It is intended that, unless the Committee determines otherwise, Awards under the Plan be eligible for exemption
under Rule 16b-3. The Board is authorized to amend the Plan and to make any such modifications to Award Agreements to comply with
Rule 16b-3, as it may be amended from time to time, and to make any other such amendments or modifications as it deems necessary
or appropriate to better accomplish the purposes of the Plan in light of any amendments made to Rule 16b-3.


 






    20 


     


    

 


11.13.     Captions.
The captions (i.e., all Section headings) used in the Plan are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Plan, and shall
not be deemed to limit, characterize or affect in any way any provisions of the Plan, and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed
as if no captions have been used in the Plan.


 


11.14.     Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision in the Plan and every Award at any time granted under the Plan shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of the Plan or any Award at any time granted under the Plan shall
be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then (a) such provision shall be deemed amended to accomplish the objectives
of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law and (b) all other provisions of the Plan and every
other Award at any time granted under the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.


 


11.15.     Amendment
and Termination.


 


(a)            Amendment.
The Board shall have complete power and authority to amend the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Board shall not, without
the requisite affirmative approval of stockholders of the Company, make any amendment which requires stockholder approval under the Code
or under any other applicable law or rule of any stock exchange which lists Common Stock or Company Voting Securities. No termination
or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted under the Plan,
adversely affect the right of such individual under such Award.


 


(b)            Termination.
The Board shall have the right and the power to terminate the Plan at any time. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the termination
of the Plan, but the termination of the Plan shall not have any other effect and any Award outstanding at the time of the termination
of the Plan may be exercised after termination of the Plan at any time prior to the expiration date of such Award to the same extent such
Award would have been exercisable had the Plan not terminated.


 


11.16.     Foreign
Qualified Awards. Awards under the Plan may be granted to such employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are residing in foreign
jurisdictions as the Committee in its sole discretion may determine from time to time. The Committee may adopt such supplements to the
Plan as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the applicable laws of such foreign jurisdictions and to afford Participants favorable
treatment under such laws; provided, however, that no Award shall be granted under any such supplement with terms or conditions inconsistent
with the provision set forth in the Plan.


 


11.17.     Dividend
Equivalents. For any Award granted under the Plan, the Committee shall have the discretion, upon the Date of Grant or thereafter,
to establish a Dividend Equivalent Account with respect to the Award, and the applicable Award Agreement or an amendment thereto shall
confirm such establishment. If a Dividend Equivalent Account is established, the following terms shall apply:


 


(a)            Terms
and Conditions. Dividend Equivalent Accounts shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and as
shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Such terms and conditions may include, without limitation, for the Participant’s
Account to be credited as of the record date of each cash dividend on the Common Stock with an amount equal to the cash dividends which
would be paid with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by the related Award if such shares of Common Stock had
been owned of record by the Participant on such record date.


 






    21 


     


    

 


(b)            Unfunded
Obligation. Dividend Equivalent Accounts shall be established and maintained only on the books and records of the Company and no assets
or funds of the Company shall be set aside, placed in trust, removed from the claims of the Company's general creditors, or otherwise
made available until such amounts are actually payable as provided hereunder.


 


11.18      Adjustment
of Performance Goals and Targets. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority
to adjust any Performance Goal, performance target or other performance-based criteria established with respect to any Award under the
Plan if circumstances occur (including, but not limited to, unusual or nonrecurring events, changes in tax laws or accounting principles
or practices or changed business or economic conditions) that cause any such Performance Goal, performance target or performance-based
criteria to be inappropriate in the judgment of the Committee.


 


11.19      Legality
of Issuance. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any applicable Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee shall have
the sole discretion to impose such conditions, restrictions and limitations (including suspending exercises of Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights and the tolling of any applicable exercise period during such suspension) on the issuance of Common Stock with respect to any Award
unless and until the Committee determines that such issuance complies with (i) any applicable registration requirements under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Committee has determined that an exemption therefrom is available, (ii) any applicable listing requirement
of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, (iii) any applicable Company policy or administrative rules, and (iv) any
other applicable provision of state, federal or foreign law, including foreign securities laws where applicable.


 


11.20      Restrictions
on Transfer. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Common Stock under the Plan have been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company may impose restrictions upon the
sale, pledge, or other transfer of such Common Stock (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates) if, in the
judgment of the Company and its counsel, such restrictions are necessary or desirable to achieve compliance with the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, the securities laws of any state, the United States or any other applicable foreign law.


 


11.21      Further
Assurances. As a condition to receipt of any Award under the Plan, a Participant shall agree, upon demand of the Company, to do all
acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements which may be reasonably required by the Company,
to implement the provisions and purposes of the Plan.
