Exhibit 10.10


 


SQUARESPACE, INC.


 


AMENDED 2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


 


1.            PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions
are important to the success of the Company, and its Affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company’s
future performance through awards of Options and Restricted Stock. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 
26 hereof.


 


		2.	SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.



 


2.1            Number
of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 17 hereof, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance
pursuant to this Plan will be 22,178,000 Shares. The Shares issued under the Plan may, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion
from time to time, be authorized but unissued Shares, reacquired Shares or both. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 17 hereof, Shares subject
to Awards previously granted will again be available for grant and issuance in connection with future Awards under this Plan to the extent:
(i) an Option is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason other than due to exercise of such Option; (ii) Shares subject
to such Award are forfeited or repurchased by the Company; or (iii) an Award otherwise terminates without Shares being issued. At
all times the Company will reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares as will be required to satisfy the requirements of
all Awards granted and outstanding under this Plan.


 


2.2            Adjustment
of Shares. In the event that the Company effects any stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision,
spin-off, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without material
consideration, then (i) the number of Shares (or the type of securities) reserved for grant or issuance under this Plan and (ii) the
terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards will be proportionately or otherwise equitably adjusted as the Board shall determine in
its absolute discretion; provided that any such adjustment shall be subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state or foreign
laws; and provided, further, that the Exercise Price of any Option may not be decreased to below the par value of the Shares.


 


2.3            Fractional
Shares. No fractional share shall be issued under this Plan and the person exercising any Award shall receive from the Company cash
in lieu of any such fractional share equal to the Fair Market Value thereof.


 


3.            ELIGIBILITY.
ISOs (as defined in Section  5 hereof) may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also
employees) of the Company or of any Affiliate. The term “employees” means those individuals classified by the Company or
an Affiliate as a common law employee, whether or not such classification is ultimately determined to be correct as a matter of law.
NQSOs (as defined in Section  5 hereof) and Restricted Stock Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors and
consultants of the Company or any Affiliate; provided that such consultants render bona fide services not in connection with the
offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. A person may be granted more than one Award under this
Plan.


 






     


     


    

 


		4.	ADMINISTRATION.



 


4.1            Committee
Authority. This Plan will be administered by the Committee or the Board if no Committee is created by the Board. Subject to the general

    2 


     


    

 


4.2            Committee
Discretion. Unless in contravention of any express terms of this Plan or an Award, any determination made by the Committee (or
its delegate) with respect to any Award will be made in its sole discretion either (i) at the time of grant of the Award, or
(ii) subject to Section  5.10 hereof, at any later time. Any such determination will be final and binding on the Company
and on all persons having an interest in any Award under this Plan. The Committee may adopt a resolution delegating to
one or more officers of the Company the authority to do either or both of the following: (1) approve officers or employees of
the Company or its subsidiaries to receive Awards and (2) designate the number of Shares subject to such Awards; provided,
however, the Committee resolution must specify the maximum number of Shares subject to such Awards and prohibit any authorized
officer from approving himself or herself for an Award. In the event the Shares of the Company become publicly traded, the Board or
Committee shall appoint a sub-Committee that complies with and that will approve all grants to Participants subject to any
applicable requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of the Code and the applicable
regulations thereunder.


 


4.3            Participation
in Foreign Countries. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards under the Plan with such additional or different terms
or adopt any subplans necessary or desirable to comply with the provisions of any applicable laws of a foreign country in which the Company
or its Affiliates operate or where eligible persons reside or provide services in order to preserve the benefits and meet the objectives
of the Plan.


 


4.4            Indemnification
of Board and Committee. No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the
Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect
to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination
or interpretation. This obligation shall survive any termination of this Plan.


 


		5.	OPTIONS. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons described in Section 
3 hereof and will determine whether such Options
will be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of the Code (“ISOs”) or Nonqualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”),
the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period during which the Option may be exercised, and
all other terms and conditions of the Option which the Committee deems appropriate, subject to the following:



 


5.1            Form of Option
Grant. Each Option granted under this Plan will be evidenced by an Award Agreement which will expressly identify the Option as an
ISO or an NQSO (“Stock Option Agreement”), and will be in such form and contain such provisions (which need
not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee may from time to time approve, and which will, in any event, comply with and be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.


 


5.2            Date
of Grant. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless
a later date is otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of this Plan will be delivered to the Participant
within a reasonable time after the granting of the Option.


 


5.3            Exercise
Period. Unless otherwise stated in the Stock Option Agreement, only vested options shall be exercisable; provided, however, that
no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that
no ISO granted to a person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or of any Affiliate (“Ten Percent Stockholder”) will be
exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the ISO is granted. The Committee also may provide for Options
to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number of Shares or percentage of Shares as
the Committee determines. Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, a partial exercise of an Option shall not affect a
Participants rights to otherwise exercise the Option with respect to any remaining Shares subject to the Option.


 






    3 


     


    

 


5.4            Exercise
Price. The Exercise Price of any Option will be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted; provided that (i) the
Exercise Price of an ISO will not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant
and (ii) the Exercise Price of any Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder will not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%)
of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased must be made in accordance with Section 
7 hereof.


 


5.5            Method
of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written stock option exercise agreement (the
 “Exercise Agreement”) in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for each
Participant). The Exercise Agreement will state (i) the number of Shares being purchased, (ii) the restrictions imposed on
the Shares purchased under such Exercise Agreement, if any, and (iii) such representations and agreements regarding
Participant’s investment intent and access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the
Company to comply with applicable laws. Participant shall execute and deliver to the Company the Exercise Agreement together with
payment in full of the Exercise Price, and any applicable taxes, for the number of Shares being purchased.


 


5.6            Termination. Subject
to (i) earlier termination pursuant to the terms of the Plan and (ii) the specific provisions of a Participant’s Stock
Option Agreement, exercise of an Option will always be subject to the following:


 


(a)      If the Participant
is Terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or for Cause, then the Participant may exercise such Participant’s Options
only to the extent of the whole number of vested Shares on his or her Termination Date (or such other date determined by the Committee)
and such Options must be exercised by the Participant, if at all, as to all or part of the vested Shares within thirty (30) days after
the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or a Stock Option Agreement, no Option may be exercised after
the Option’s expiration date and any Options exercised later than three (3) months after a Participant is Terminated other
than for death or Disability shall be deemed to be an NQSO.


 


(b)     If
the Participant is Terminated because of Participant’s death or Disability (or the Participant dies within thirty (30) days
after a Termination other than for Cause), then such Participant’s Options may be exercised only to the extent of the whole
number of vested Shares as of the Termination Date (or such other date determined by the Committee) and such Options must be
exercised by the Participant (or his or her legal representative or authorized assignee), if at all, as to all or part of the vested
Shares within twelve (12) months after the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or a Stock Option
Agreement, no Option may be exercised after the Option’s expiration date and if a Participant is Terminated because of
Disability, any Option exercised later than twelve (12) months after the Participant’s Termination Date shall be deemed to be
an NQSO.


 






    4 


     


    

 


(c)      If the Participant
is Terminated for Cause, then Participant’s Options shall expire on such Participant’s Termination Date, or at such later
time and on such conditions as are determined by the Committee.


 


5.7            Limitations
on Exercise. Unless otherwise stated in the Stock Option Agreement, the minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise
of an Option shall be twenty (20) Shares, provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option for
the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.


 


5.8            Limitations
on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable
for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company
or any Affiliate) will not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with
respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000), then the Options for the first One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar
year will be ISOs and the Options for the amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) that become exercisable in that
calendar year will be NQSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the Effective Date
(as defined in Section  22 hereof) to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to
ISOs, then such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date
of such amendment.


 


5.9            Notice
of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If an Option is an ISO, and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares
acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the date of grant, and (ii) the
date one (1) year after transfer of such Shares to Participant upon exercise of the Option, Participant shall immediately notify
the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized by Participant from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current wages or other compensation payable to Participant.


 


5.10          Modification,
Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in
substitution therefor, provided that any such action may not, without the written consent of a Participant, impair any of such
Participant’s rights under any Option previously granted, provided, however, that the Committee may modify any Option if such
modification without the written consent of the Participant if such modification is required to make Section 409A of the Code
inapplicable to such Option or, if Section 409A of the Code is applicable to such Option, to make such Option comply with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered will be
treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options
without the consent of Participants by a written notice to them; provided, however, that the Exercise Price may not be
reduced below the minimum Exercise Price that would be permitted under Section  5.4 hereof as if the Options had been granted
on the date the action is taken to reduce the Exercise Price; provided, further, that the Exercise Price will not be reduced below
the par value of the Shares, if any.


 






    5 


     


    

 


5.11          Vesting Period of
Option. Unless otherwise stated in the Stock Option Agreement and provided the Participant continues to provide services to the Company
or to any Affiliate on the applicable vesting date, the Shares issuable upon exercise of any Option will become vested as follows: 25%
of the Shares subject to the Option will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant as stated in the Stock Option Agreement (the
 “First Vesting Date”) and thereafter at the end of each full succeeding quarter after the First Vesting Date
an additional 6.25% of such Shares will become vested until the Shares are vested with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares.
If, at any time, application of any vesting percentage or formula results in a fractional share, such share shall be rounded down to the
nearest whole share; provided that at the end of the last month in any vesting period the Option shall become vested for the full remainder
of the Shares.


 


6.             RESTRICTED STOCK. A Restricted
Stock Award is an offer by the Company to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to certain specified restrictions. The Committee
will determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the Purchase Price, the restrictions to which
the Shares will be subject, and all other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:


 


6.1            Form of Restricted
Stock Award. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award made pursuant to this Plan will be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Restricted
Stock Purchase Agreement”) that will be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee
will from time to time approve, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. The Restricted Stock Award
will be accepted by the Participant’s execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and full payment for the
Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered to the person. If such
person does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement along with full payment for the Shares to the Company within
such thirty (30) days, then the offer will terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.


 


6.2            Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award will be determined by the Committee on the date the
Restricted Stock Award is granted or at the time the purchase is consummated. Payment of the Purchase Price must be made in accordance
with Section  7 hereof.


 


6.3            Restrictions.
Restricted Stock Awards may be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section  11 hereof.


 






    6 


     


    

 


7.             PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES. Payment for Shares purchased
pursuant to this Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Committee and where permitted
by law:


 


		7.1	by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company owed to the Participant;



 


7.2            by
surrender of shares that: (i) either (A) have been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were
purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares) or (B) were obtained
by Participant in the public market and (ii) are clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests;


 


7.3            by
waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Participant from the Company or in consideration of past or future services rendered (provided,
that the par value of the Shares is paid in a form of consideration permitted under this Section  7 other than future services to
be rendered);


 


7.4            with
respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists:


 


(a)     through a “same day sale” commitment
from the Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”)
whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased sufficient to pay the
total Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the total Exercise Price
directly to the Company; or


 


(b)     through a “margin” commitment
from the Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so
purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the total Exercise Price,
and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the total Exercise Price directly to the Company;
or


 


7.5            by
any other form of legal consideration acceptable by the Committee; provided, however, payment of the Shares’ par value shall not
be made by deferred payment.


 


		8.	WITHHOLDING TAXES.



 


8.1            Withholding
Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under this Plan, the Company may require the Participant
to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery
of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under this Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash
by the Company, such payment will be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements.


 






    7 


     


    

 


8.2            Stock Withholding.
When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject
to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may in its sole
discretion allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the
Shares to be issued that minimum number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined
on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined; but in no event will the Company withhold Shares if such withholding
would result in adverse accounting consequences to the Company. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose
will be made in accordance with the requirements established by the Committee for such elections and be in writing in a form acceptable
to the Committee.


 


9.             PRIVILEGES
OF STOCK OWNERSHIP. No Participant will have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are
issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant will be a stockholder and have all the rights of
a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with
respect to such Shares; provided, any new, additional or different securities the Participant may become entitled to receive with respect
to such Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company will
be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as the Shares with respect to which the dividend or distribution is made.


 


10.           TRANSFERABILITY.
Awards granted under this Plan, and any interest therein, will not be transferable or assignable by a Participant other than (a) by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (b) with respect to NQSOs or Restricted Stock, and solely in the discretion of
the Committee, (i) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the Options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon
the death of the trustor (settlor) or (ii) by gift to “family members” as that term is defined in Rule 701 under
the Securities Act, including any trust or entity wherein family members and the Participant own or control more than 50% of beneficial
interests or voting power or a foundation in which such persons control the management of more than 50% of the assets, and no Award may
be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. During the lifetime of the Participant an Award will be exercisable only
by the Participant or Participant’s legal representative and any elections with respect to an Award may be made only by the Participant
or Participant’s legal representative. Any transfer or assignment permitted by the Committee must comply with applicable law and
conditions established by the Committee. The holder of a transferred or assigned Award under this section shall be bound by the same terms
and conditions that governed the Award in the hands of the Participant; provided, however, that a transferee or assignee cannot further
transfer or assign such Award except by will or the laws of descent or distribution.


 



11.           RIGHT
OF FIRST REFUSAL. Unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement or the Exercise Agreement, the Company reserves to itself
and/or its assignee(s) a right of first refusal to purchase all Shares that a Participant (or a subsequent transferee or
assignee) may propose to transfer to a third party (the “Right of First Refusal”), provided that such
Right of First Refusal terminates upon the Company’s initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to
an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The procedures for the exercise of the Right of First Refusal
shall be set forth in the Exercise Agreement. In addition, the Company reserves the right to condition the issuance of any Shares
issuable pursuant to any Award on the execution and delivery by the Participant of the Company’s then applicable Right of
First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (or similar agreement).


 






    8 


     


    

 


12.           REPURCHASE RIGHT. Unless otherwise
stated in an Award Agreement, the Company reserves to itself and/or its assignee(s) a right, but not the obligation, to repurchase
any and all Shares acquired by a Participant (or his or her transferee or assignee) under this Plan for a period of ninety (90) days
following Termination of the Participant (the “Repurchase Right”). Except in the event the Participant is Terminated
for Cause or the Shares would otherwise be forfeited or forfeitable under the Plan or the terms and conditions of any Award Agreement,
the repurchase price of the Shares shall be the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Date the Company exercises its Right of Repurchase.
If the Participant is Terminated for Cause, the repurchase price of the Shares shall be the Exercise Price per Share paid by the Participant
for such Shares. Closing on the sale of any Share repurchased under this Section shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by
the parties, be held at the principal place of business of the Company thirty (30) days from the date of the last to occur of (i) the
date of notice to by the Company that the Repurchase Right is being exercised or (ii) if applicable, the receipt by Company, as
applicable, of the determination of the Fair Market Value of the Shares (the “Closing Date”). The Company may, in its sole
discretion, pay the repurchase price, if any, required hereunder to a Terminated Participant at the end of a period of not more than
twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. In any event, the Company shall have the right to apply any portion of the repurchase price
payable under this Section to fully discharge any indebtedness of the Participant owed to the Company. The provisions of this Section 
12 shall automatically terminate upon the Company’s initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act.


 


13.           CERTIFICATES.
All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under this Plan will be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other
restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares
may be listed or quoted.


 


14.           EXCHANGE
AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS. The Committee may, at any time or from time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective
Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at
any time, without the consent of the respective Participants, buy from a Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash,
shares of Common Stock of the Company (including Restricted Stock) or other consideration on such terms and conditions as the Committee
and the Participant may agree.


 


15.           CONFIDENTIALITY
AND NON-COMPETITION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Shares (or other securities) acquired pursuant to
an Award under the Plan, or the profit therefrom, shall be forfeited by a Participant upon such terms and conditions as the Company
may establish in its sole discretion if the Participant engages in any conduct that violates any non-competition,
confidentiality or non-solicitation provisions (i) under his employment or other agreement with the Company (or any Affiliate)
or (ii) that are otherwise applicable to Participant’s employment with the Company (or any Affiliate).


 






    9 


     


    

 


16.           SECURITIES
LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. An Award will not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal,
state and foreign securities and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Award and also
on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue
or deliver certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to (i) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company
determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (ii) compliance with any exemption, completion of any registration or other qualification
of such Shares under any applicable law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The
Company will be under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the exemption, registration, qualification
or listing requirements of any state or foreign securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company will have
no liability for any inability or failure to do so.


 


		17.	CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.



 


17.1            Assumption
or Replacement of Awards by Successor or Acquiring Company. In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or
consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in
which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings and the Awards granted
under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor or acquiring corporation, which assumption, conversion or
replacement will be binding on all Participants), (iii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after
which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any stockholder which merges with the Company in
such merger, or which owns or controls another corporation which merges with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares
or other equity interests in the Company, or (iv) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (each, a
 “Corporate Transaction”), unless otherwise set forth below, all unvested Awards will continue to vest over
the remaining original vesting term as set forth in the Award Agreement. Upon a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards may be
assumed by the successor or acquiring corporation (if any), which assumption will be binding on all Participants. In the
alternative, the successor or acquiring corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration
to Participants as was provided to stockholders of the Company (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards).
The successor or acquiring corporation may also substitute by issuing, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the
Participant, substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions and other provisions no less
favorable to the Participant than those which applied to such outstanding Shares immediately prior to such transaction described in
this Section  17.1. If any Option is not exercised prior to the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, it shall
automatically terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such event. As an alternative to the exercise of Awards and receipt
by Participants of consideration as stockholders after exercise of such Awards, the agreement governing the Corporate Transaction
may provide that such Participants shall receive cash, securities or other property equal in value to the difference between the
exercise price of any Award and the value of the Shares underlying such Award, with values being determined in accordance with the
terms of the Corporate Transaction, or as determined by the Committee.

17.2          Other
Treatment of Awards. Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section  17,
in the event of the occurrence of any transaction described in Section  17.1 hereof, any outstanding Awards will be treated as provided
in the applicable agreement or plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation or sale of assets.


 


17.3          Assumption
of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company,
whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either (i) granting an Award under this Plan in
substitution of such other company’s award or (ii) assuming such award as if it had been granted under this Plan if the terms
of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the
holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other company had applied
the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions
of such award will remain unchanged (except that the exercise price and the number and nature of shares issuable upon exercise of any
such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant
a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.


 


18.           CERTAIN
REDUCTION OF PARACHUTE PAYMENTS. Any benefit, payment, accelerated vesting or other right under this Plan may constitute a “parachute
payment” (as defined in Code section 280G(b)(2)(A), but without regard to Code section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii)), with respect to a Participant
and the Participant may incur a liability under Code section 4999. In that event, except as otherwise provided by the Board or in an Award
Agreement, the Company shall reduce any such parachute payments, if, and only to the extent that a reduction will allow the Participant
to receive a greater “net after-tax amount” than such Participant would receive absent a reduction. For purposes of this Plan,
 “net after-tax amount” means the amount of any parachute payments, as applicable, net of taxes imposed under Code sections
1, 3101(b) and 4999 and any State or local income taxes applicable to the Participant as in effect on the date of the first payment
under this Plan or an Award Agreement. The determination of the net after-tax amount shall be calculated by applying the foregoing taxes
on income of the same character as the parachute payments or capped parachute payments, as applicable, at the top marginal rates in effect
for the year in which the determination is made. “Capped parachute payments” means the largest amount of parachute payments
that may be paid without liability under Code section 4999.


 


19.            NO
OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY. Nothing in this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan will confer or be deemed to confer on any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Affiliate or
limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship
at any time, with or without Cause.


 






    11 


     


    

 


20.           NO
RIGHTS TO FUTURE AWARDS. Participants granted Awards under this Plan will not have any right to future grants under this Plan
or any other incentive plan of the Company or an Affiliate and participation in this Plan does not guarantee any future participation
in this plan or any other incentive plan of the Company or and Affiliate. Awards are granted in the sole discretion of the Committee and
the Committee’s decisions are final and binding on all parties.


 


21.           UNFUNDED
PLAN. The Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets
that may at any time be represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any grant under
this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that any be created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the
Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company. Except for the Board’s
reservation of a sufficient number of authorized Shares to the extent required by law to meet the requirements of the Plan, the Company
shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure payment of any grant
under the Plan.


 


22.           ADOPTION
AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. This Plan will become effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board (the
 “Effective Date”). This Plan will be approved by the stockholders of the Company (excluding Shares
issued pursuant to this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within twelve (12) months before or after the Effective Date. Upon
the Effective Date, the Board may grant Awards pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that: (i) no Option may be exercised
prior to initial stockholder approval of this Plan; (ii) no Option granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares
approved by the Board shall be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the stockholders of the Company;
(iii) in the event that initial stockholder approval is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted
hereunder shall be canceled, any Shares issued pursuant to any Award shall be canceled and any purchase of Shares issued hereunder
shall be rescinded; and (iv) Awards granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares approved by the Board which
increase is not timely approved by stockholders shall be canceled, any Shares issued pursuant to any such Awards shall be canceled,
and any purchase of Shares subject to any such Award shall be rescinded.


 


23.           TERM
OF PLAN/GOVERNING LAW. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the Effective
Date or, if earlier, the date of stockholder approval. This Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware.


 


24.           AMENDMENT
OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. Subject to Section  5.10 hereof, the Board may at any time terminate or amend this Plan in any
respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to this Plan;
provided, however, that the Board will not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend this Plan in any
manner that requires such stockholder approval under applicable law.


 






    12 


     


    

 


25.           NONEXCLUSIVITY
OF THE PLAN. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board, the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for
approval, nor any provision of this Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional
compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options and other equity awards
otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
