not involving the Company or its Affiliates) (i) constituting a felony or (ii) that has, or could reasonably be expected to result in,
an adverse impact on the performance of the Participant’s duties to the Service Recipient, or otherwise has, or could reasonably
be expected to result in, an adverse impact on the business or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates, (2) conduct of the Participant,
in connection with his or her employment or service, that has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in injury to the business

Recipient or willful or repeated failure or refusal to perform such duties. If, subsequent to the Termination of a Participant for any
reason other than by the Service Recipient for Cause, it is discovered that the Participant’s employment or service could have
been terminated for Cause, such Participant’s employment or service shall, at the discretion of the Committee, be deemed to have
been terminated by the Service Recipient for Cause for all purposes under the Plan, and the Participant shall be required to repay to
the Company all amounts received by him or her in respect of any Award following such Termination that would have been forfeited under
the Plan had such Termination been by the Service Recipient for Cause. In the event that there is an Award Agreement or Participant Agreement
defining Cause, “Cause” shall have the meaning provided in such agreement, and a Termination by the Service Recipient
for Cause hereunder shall not be deemed to have occurred unless all applicable notice and cure periods in such Award Agreement or Participant

3.
Administration.


 


(a)
Authority of the Committee. Except as otherwise provided below, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee
shall have full and final authority, in each case subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to (1) select Eligible Persons
to become Participants, (2) grant Awards, (3) determine the type, number and type of shares of Stock subject to, other terms and conditions

supply omissions, and reconcile inconsistencies therein, (6) suspend the right to exercise Awards during any period that the Committee
deems appropriate to comply with applicable securities laws, and thereafter extend the exercise period of an Award by an equivalent period

as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive,
and binding on all Persons, including, without limitation, the Company, its stockholders and Affiliates, Eligible Persons, Participants,
and beneficiaries of Participants. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the ability to accelerate
the vesting of any outstanding Award at any time and for any reason, including upon a Corporate Event, subject to Section 10(d), or in
the event of a Participant’s Termination by the Service Recipient other than for Cause, or due to the Participant’s death,
Disability or retirement (as such term may be defined in an applicable Award Agreement or Participant Agreement, or, if no such definition
exists, in accordance with the Company’s then-current employment policies and guidelines). For the avoidance of doubt, the Board
shall have the authority to take all actions under the Plan that the Committee is permitted to take.


 




    	5



     


    

 


(b)
Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified Member, any action
of the Committee relating to an Award granted or to be granted to a Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act
in respect of the Company, must be taken by the remaining members of the Committee or a subcommittee, designated by the Committee or
the Board, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members (a “Qualifying Committee”). Any action authorized by such
a Qualifying Committee shall be deemed the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. The express grant of any specific power
to a Qualifying Committee, and the taking of any action by such a Qualifying Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power
or authority of the Committee.


 


(c)
Delegation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to officers or employees of the Company or any
of its Affiliates, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions
under the Plan, including, but not limited to, administrative functions, as the Committee may determine appropriate. The Committee may
appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan. Any actions taken by an officer or employee delegated authority pursuant to this
Section 3(c) within the scope of such delegation shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to be an action taken by the Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award granted under the Plan to any Eligible Person
who is not an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates (including any non-employee director of the Company or any Affiliate)
or to any Eligible Person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be expressly approved by the Committee or Qualifying
Committee in accordance with Section 3(b) above.


 


(d)
Sections 409A and 457A. The Committee shall take into account compliance with Sections 409A and 457A of the Code in connection
with any grant of an Award under the Plan, to the extent applicable. While the Awards granted hereunder are intended to be structured
in a manner to avoid the imposition of any penalty taxes under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company
or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant as a result of
Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code or any similar
state or local laws (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A
or Section 457A of the Code).


 


4.
Shares Available Under the Plan; Other Limitations.


 


(a)
Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof, the total number of shares of
Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan shall equal Shares of Stock delivered under the Plan
shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company on the open market or
by private purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as may be required by reason of Section 422 of the Code, the number of
shares of Stock available for issuance hereunder shall not be reduced by shares issued pursuant to Awards issued or assumed in connection
with a merger or acquisition as contemplated by, as applicable, NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)
and IM-5635-1, AMEX Company Guide Section 711, or other applicable stock exchange rules, and their respective successor rules and listing
exchange promulgations (each such Award, a “Substitute Award”); and (ii) shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have
been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash.


 




    	6



     


    

 


(b)
Share Counting Rules. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double-counting
(as, for example, in the case of tandem awards or Substitute Awards) and make adjustments if the number of shares of Stock actually delivered
differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with an Award. Other than with respect to a Substitute Award, to the
extent that an Award expires or is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated without delivery to the Participant
of the full number of shares of Stock to which the Award related, the undelivered shares of Stock will again be available for grant.
Shares of Stock withheld in payment of the exercise price or taxes relating to an Award and shares of Stock equal to the number surrendered
in payment of any exercise price or taxes relating to an Award shall not be deemed to constitute shares delivered to the Participant
and shall be deemed to again be available for delivery under the Plan.


 


(c)
Incentive Stock Options. No more than 2,700,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof) reserved
for issuance hereunder may be issued or transferred upon exercise or settlement of Incentive Stock Options.


 


(d)
Shares Available Under Acquired Plans. To the extent permitted by NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, NASDAQ Listing Rule
5635(c) or other applicable stock exchange rules, subject to applicable law, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or with
which the Company combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of
such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the
extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio of formula used in such acquisition or combination
to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be
used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with
Awards under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards could have been
made under the terms of such pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were
not employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted
only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company or an Affiliate (as such definition is limited pursuant to Section 2(o) hereof)
of the Company. The provisions of separate Options shall be set forth in separate Option Agreements, which agreements need not be identical.
No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options.

hereunder shall be exercisable after, and each Option shall expire, ten (10) years from the date it was granted.

not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, subject to Section 5(g) hereof in the case of any Incentive Stock Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of Stock for such Option
may be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that such exercise price is determined in a manner consistent
with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and, if applicable, Section 424(a) of the Code.


 




    	7



     


    

 


(d)
Payment for Stock. Payment for shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Option granted hereunder shall be made in full upon exercise
of the Option in a manner approved by the Committee, which may include any of the following payment methods: (1) in immediately available
funds in U.S. dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s check, (2) by delivery of shares of Stock having a value equal to the
exercise price, (3) by a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with procedures approved by the Committee, whereby payment of
the Option exercise price or tax withholding obligations may be satisfied, in whole or in part, with shares of Stock subject to the Option
by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell shares of Stock and to
deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate exercise price and, if applicable, the amount necessary
to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations, or (4) by any other means approved by the Committee (including, by delivery of
a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall receive the number of shares of Stock
underlying the Option so exercised reduced by the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option divided
by the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Committee determines that
any form of payment available hereunder would be in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, such form of payment
shall not be available.


 


(e)
Vesting. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance
or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an Option Agreement; provided, however,
that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Option at any time
and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of an Option shall occur only while the Participant
is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for
any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during
the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and
shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. If an Option is exercisable in installments, such installments
or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires, is canceled or otherwise terminates.

of such Participant’s vested Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the
applicable Expiration Date and (y) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such Termination.


 


(3)
In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by the Service Recipient for Cause, all of
such Participant’s Options outstanding (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited for no consideration
as of the date of such Termination.


 


(g)
Special Provisions Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.


 


(1)
No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Eligible Person who, at the time the Option is granted, owns directly, or indirectly
within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary thereof, unless such Incentive Stock Option (i) has an exercise price
of at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant of such Option and (ii) cannot be exercised
more than five (5) years after the date it is granted.


 


(2)
To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Stock for which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds
$100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

(3)
Each Participant who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Participant
makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.


 


6.
Restricted Stock.


 


(a)
General. Restricted Stock may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee
shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Awards of Restricted Stock shall be set forth in separate Restricted Stock Agreements,
which agreements need not be identical. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(b) hereof, and except as otherwise set forth
in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such
Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock
Agreement, cash dividends and stock dividends, if any, with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company for the
Participant’s account, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the same degree as the shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends
relate. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.


 


(b)
Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Restricted Stock shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement
of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting
of any Award of Restricted Stock at any time and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting
of an Award of Restricted Stock shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient,
and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant
following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment.
In addition to any other restrictions set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall not be permitted
to sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock prior to the time the Restricted Stock has vested pursuant to the
terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement.


 


(c)
Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a Restricted Stock Agreement, Participant Agreement
or otherwise, in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted
Stock has vested, (1) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock outstanding shall cease, and (2) as soon
as practicable following such Termination, the Company shall repurchase from the Participant, and the Participant shall sell, all of
such Participant’s unvested shares of Restricted Stock at a purchase price equal to the original purchase price paid for the Restricted
Stock; provided that, if the original purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock is equal to zero dollars ($0), such unvested
shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.


 


7.
Restricted Stock Units.


 


(a)
General. Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee
shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Restricted Stock Units shall be set forth in separate RSU Agreements, which agreements
need not be identical.


 


(b)
Vesting. Restricted Stock Units shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other
conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement; provided, however, that
notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit
at any time and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit shall
occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s
Termination for any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall
be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to
reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment.


 




    	9



     


    

 


(c)
Settlement. Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Stock, cash, or property, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
on the date or dates determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s
RSU Agreement, a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends, if any, or dividend equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock Units
prior to settlement.


 


(d)
Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in an RSU Agreement, Participant Agreement or otherwise,
in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units
have been settled, (1) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units outstanding shall cease, (2) all of
such Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock Units outstanding shall be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination,
and (3) any shares remaining undelivered with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units then held by such Participant shall be delivered
on the delivery date or dates specified in the RSU Agreement.


 


8.
Stock Appreciation Rights.


 


(a)
General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Stock Appreciation Rights shall be set forth in separate SAR Agreements,
which agreements need not be identical. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Stock Appreciation Rights.


 


(b)
Term. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; provided, however,
that no Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall be exercisable after, and each Stock Appreciation Right shall expire, ten (10)
years from the date it was granted.


 


(c)
Base Price. The base price per share of Stock for each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant
and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Stock Appreciation
Right that is a Substitute Award, the base price per share of Stock for such Stock Appreciation Right may be less than the Fair Market
Value on the date of grant; provided, that such base price is determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section
409A of the Code.


 


(d)
Vesting. Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest and become exercisable in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement
of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in a SAR Agreement; provided,
however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Stock
Appreciation Right at any time and for any reason. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of a Stock
Appreciation Right shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting
shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which
the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. If a Stock Appreciation
Right is exercisable in installments, such installments or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the
Stock Appreciation Right expires, is canceled or otherwise terminates.


 


(e)
Payment upon Exercise. Payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash, Stock, or property as specified
in the SAR Agreement or determined by the Committee, in each case having a value in respect of each share of Stock underlying the portion
of the Stock Appreciation Right so exercised, equal to the difference between the base price of such Stock Appreciation Right and the
Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date. For purposes of clarity, each share of Stock to be issued in settlement
of a Stock Appreciation Right is deemed to have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date.
In no event shall fractional shares be issuable upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, and in the event that fractional shares
would otherwise be issuable, the number of shares issuable will be rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares, and the Participant
will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the value of such fractional share.


 




    	10



     


    

 


(f)
Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a SAR Agreement, Participant Agreement or otherwise:


 


(1)
In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date for any reason other than (i) by the Service
Recipient for Cause, or (ii) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s
Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall cease, (B) all of such Participant’s unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding
shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination, and (C) all of such Participant’s vested
Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration
Date and (y) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of such Termination.


 


(2)
In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by reason of such Participant’s death
or Disability, (i) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall cease, (ii) all of
such Participant’s unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the
date of such Termination, and (iii) all of such Participant’s vested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and
be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date and (y) the date that is twelve (12) months after
the date of such Termination. In the event of a Participant’s death, such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights shall remain
exercisable by the Person or Persons to whom such Participant’s rights under the Stock Appreciation Rights pass by will or by the
applicable laws of descent and distribution until the applicable Expiration Date, but only to the extent that the Stock Appreciation
Rights were vested at the time of such Termination.


 


(3)
In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by the Service Recipient for Cause, all of
such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited for
no consideration as of the date of such Termination.


 


9.
Other Stock-Based Awards.


 


The
Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated
or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to Stock, as deemed by the Committee to
be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may also grant Stock as a bonus (whether or not subject to any vesting requirements
or other restrictions on transfer), and may grant other Awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or an Affiliate to pay cash or deliver
other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the
Committee. The terms and conditions applicable to such Awards shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced by Award Agreements,
which agreements need not be identical.


 


10.
Adjustment for Recapitalization, Merger, etc.


 


(a)
Capitalization Adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in connection with Awards (as set forth
in Section 4 hereof), the numerical share limits in Section 4(a) hereof, the number of shares of Stock covered by each outstanding Award,
and the price per share of Stock underlying each such Award shall be equitably and proportionally adjusted or substituted, as determined
by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as to the number, price, or kind of a share of Stock or other consideration subject to such
Awards (1) in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock dividends,
extraordinary cash dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations,
combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date of grant of any such Award (including any
Corporate Event); (2) in connection with any extraordinary dividend declared and paid in respect of shares of Stock, whether payable
in the form of cash, stock, or any other form of consideration; or (3) in the event of any change in applicable laws or circumstances
that results in or could result in, in either case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any substantial dilution or
enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, Participants in the Plan.


 




    	11



     


    

 


(b)
Corporate Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, Participant Agreement
or otherwise, in connection with (i) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, (ii) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but
the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation or other property or cash, (iii) a Change in Control, or (iv)
the reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company (each, a “Corporate Event”), the Committee may provide
for any one or more of the following:


 


(1)
The assumption or substitution of any or all Awards in connection with such Corporate Event, in which case the Awards shall be subject
to the adjustment set forth in Section 10(a) above;


 


(2)
The acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event, subject to the consummation
of such Corporate Event;


 


(3)
The cancellation of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event (whether vested or unvested)
as of the consummation of such Corporate Event, together with the payment to the Participants holding vested Awards (including any Awards
that would vest upon the Corporate Event but for such cancellation) so canceled of an amount in respect of cancellation equal to the
amount payable pursuant to any Cash Award or, with respect to other Awards, an amount based upon the per-share consideration being paid
for the Stock in connection with such Corporate Event, less, in the case of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject
to exercise, the applicable exercise or base price; provided, however, that holders of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and
other Awards subject to exercise shall be entitled to consideration in respect of cancellation of such Awards only if the per-share consideration
less the applicable exercise or base price is greater than zero dollars ($0), and to the extent that the per-share consideration is less
than or equal to the applicable exercise or base price, such Awards shall be canceled for no consideration;


 


(4)
The cancellation of any or all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards subject to exercise not assumed or substituted in
connection with such Corporate Event (whether vested or unvested) as of the consummation of such Corporate Event; provided that
all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards to be so canceled pursuant to this paragraph (4) shall first become exercisable
for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to such Corporate Event, with any exercise during such period of any unvested Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights or other Awards to be (A) contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Corporate Event, and (B) effectuated
by such means as are approved by the Committee; and


 


(5)
The replacement of any or all Awards (other than Awards that are intended to qualify as “stock rights” that do not provide
for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) with a cash incentive program that preserves
the value of the Awards so replaced (determined as of the consummation of the Corporate Event), with subsequent payment of cash incentives
subject to the same vesting conditions as applicable to the Awards so replaced and payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the
applicable vesting date.


 


Payments
to holders pursuant to paragraph (3) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, and to the extent applicable,
in the form of such other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or a combination thereof)
as such Participant would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately
prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable exercise
or base price). In addition, in connection with any Corporate Event, prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this Section
10(b), the Committee may require a Participant to (A) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title to his or her Awards, (B) bear
such Participant’s pro-rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase price
adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions as the other holders of Stock, and (C) deliver customary
transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee. The Committee need not take the same action or actions with respect
to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Committee may take different actions with respect to the vested
and unvested portions of an Award.


 




    	12



     


    

 


(c)
Fractional Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section 10 may, in the Committee’s discretion, provide for the elimination
of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject to an Award. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional
shares so eliminated.


 


(d)
Double-Trigger Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, an Award Agreement or Participant Agreement to the contrary,
with respect to any Award that is assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, the vesting, payment, purchase or distribution
of such Award may not be accelerated by reason of the Change in Control for any Participant unless the Participant experiences an involuntary
Termination as a result of the Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided for in an Award Agreement or Participant Agreement, any Award
held by a Participant who experiences an involuntary Termination as a result of a Change in Control shall immediately vest as of the
date of such Termination. For purposes of this Section 10(d), a Participant will be deemed to experience an involuntary Termination as
a result of a Change in Control if the Participant experiences a Termination by the Service Recipient other than for Cause, or otherwise
experiences a Termination under circumstances which entitle the Participant to mandatory severance payment(s) pursuant to applicable
law or, in the case of a non-employee director of the Company, if the non-employee director’s service on the Board terminates in
connection with or as a result of a Change in Control, in each case, at any time beginning on the date of the Change in Control up to
and including the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control.


 


11.
Use of Proceeds.


 


The
proceeds received from the sale of Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.


 


12.
Rights and Privileges as a Stockholder.


 


Except
as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of Stock ownership in respect
of shares of Stock that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that Person.


 


13.
Transferability of Awards.


 


Awards
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the applicable laws
of descent and distribution, and to the extent subject to exercise, Awards may not be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee other
than by the grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Awards and a Participant’s
rights under the Plan shall be transferable for no value to the extent provided in an Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any
time by the Committee.


 


14.
Employment or Service Rights.


 


No
individual shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to
be selected for the grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual
any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.


 




    	13



     


    

 


15.
Compliance with Laws.


 


The
obligation of the Company to deliver Stock upon issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions
of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering
to sell or selling, any shares of Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act (or with a similar non-U.S. regulatory agency pursuant to a similar
law or regulation) or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered
or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been
fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale or resale under the Securities Act any of the shares
of Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan or any shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise or settlement of Awards. If the shares
of Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares and may legend the Stock certificates representing such shares in such manner
as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.


 


16.
Withholding Obligations.


 


As
a condition to the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award (or upon the making of an election under Section 83(b) of
the Code), the Committee may require that a Participant satisfy, through deduction or withholding from any payment of any kind otherwise
due to the Participant, or through such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Committee, the amount of all federal, state, and
local income and other taxes of any kind required or permitted to be withheld in connection with such issuance, vesting, exercise, or
settlement (or election). The Committee, in its discretion, may permit shares of Stock to be used to satisfy tax withholding requirements,
and such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement date of the Award, as
applicable.


 


17.
Amendment of the Plan or Awards.


 


(a)
Amendment of Plan. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time.


 


(b)
Amendment of Awards. The Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any one or more Awards at any time and from time to time.


 


(c)
Stockholder Approval; No Material Impairment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment to the Plan or any
Award shall be effective without stockholder approval to the extent that such approval is required pursuant to applicable law or the
applicable rules of each national securities exchange on which the Stock is listed. Additionally, no amendment to the Plan or any Award
shall materially impair a Participant’s rights under any Award unless the Participant consents in writing (it being understood
that no action taken by the Board or the Committee that is expressly permitted under the Plan, including, without limitation, any actions
described in Section 10 hereof, shall constitute an amendment to the Plan or an Award for such purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, and without an affected Participant’s consent, the Board or the Committee
may amend the terms of the Plan or any one or more Awards from time to time as necessary to bring such Awards into compliance with applicable
law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.


 


18.
Termination or Suspension of the Plan.


 


The
Board or the Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before
the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while
the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated; provided, however, that following any suspension or termination of the Plan,
the Plan shall remain in effect for the purpose of governing all Awards then outstanding hereunder until such time as all Awards under
the Plan have been terminated, forfeited, or otherwise canceled, or earned, exercised, settled, or otherwise paid out, in accordance
with their terms.


 


19.
Effective Date of the Plan.


 


The
Plan is effective as of the Effective Date.


 




    	14



     


    

 


20.
Miscellaneous.


 


(a)
Certificates. Stock acquired pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee shall
determine. If certificates representing Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that (1) such
certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Stock, (2) the Company
retain physical possession of the certificates, and (3) the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating
to the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that the Stock shall be held in book-entry
form rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of any applicable restrictions.


 


(b)
Other Benefits. No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under
any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect
under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation.


 


(c)
Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant
will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, regardless of when the
instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In
the event that the corporate records (e.g., Committee consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action
constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares of Stock) that are inconsistent
with those in the Award Agreement as a result of a clerical error in connection with the preparation of the Award Agreement, the corporate
records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement.


 


(d)
Clawback/Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Awards granted under the Plan shall
be and remain subject to any incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board
(or a committee or subcommittee of the Board) and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment
shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an
event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under
any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. In the event that an Award is subject to more than one such policy, the policy
with the most restrictive clawback or recoupment provisions shall govern such Award, subject to applicable law.


 


(e)
Non-Exempt Employees. If an Option is granted to an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the United States who
is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Option will not be first exercisable for
any shares of Stock until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of the Option (although the Option may vest prior to such
date). Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, (1) if such employee dies or suffers a Disability, (2)
upon a Corporate Event in which such Option is not assumed, continued, or substituted, (3) upon a Change in Control, or (4) upon the
Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the applicable Award Agreement or a Participant Agreement, or, if no such
definition exists, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies and guidelines), the vested portion of any
Options held by such employee may be exercised earlier than six (6) months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended
to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will be exempt
from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the Worker Economic Opportunity Act
to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise, vesting or issuance of any shares under any
other Award will be exempt from such employee’s regular rate of pay, the provisions of this Section 20(e)will apply to all Awards.


 




    	15



     


    

 


(f)
Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection,
use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 20(e) by and among, as applicable, the
Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s
participation in the Plan. In furtherance of such implementation, administration, and management, the Company and its Affiliates may
hold certain personal information about a Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone
number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), information
regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the “Data”). In addition
to transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration, and management of the Plan
and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Company and its Affiliates may each transfer the Data to any third
parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s
participation in the Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and the Participant’s
country and any given recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant
authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation
in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company
or the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as is necessary
to implement, administer, and manage the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at
any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing
of the Data with respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant, or refuse
or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative.
The Company may cancel the Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan, and in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant
may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents described herein. For more information on the
consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.


 


(g)
Participants Outside of the United States. The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan made to or held by a
Participant who is then a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, outside of the United States in any manner deemed
by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country
in which the Participant is then a resident or primarily employed or providing services, or so that the value and other benefits of the
Award to the Participant, as affected by non—U.S. tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s
residence, employment, or providing services abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such Award to a Participant who is a resident,
or is primarily employed or providing services, in the United States. An Award may be modified under this Section 20(g) in a manner that
is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation
or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified. Additionally, the
Committee may adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Persons
who are non—U.S. nationals or are primarily employed or providing services outside the United States.


 


(h)
Change in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her
services for the Company or any of its Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an employee
of the Company and the employee has a change in status from a full-time employee to a part-time employee) after the date of grant of
any Award to the Participant, the Committee has the right in its sole discretion to (i) make a corresponding reduction in the number
of shares of Stock subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in
time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such
Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced
or extended.

(i)
No Liability of Committee Members. Neither any member of the Committee nor any of the Committee’s permitted delegates shall
be liable personally by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her behalf in his or her capacity
as a member of the Committee or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each
member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration
or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and expenses (including counsel fees) and liabilities
(including sums paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising
out of such Person’s own fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for
the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such Person. 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 or articles of incorporation
or by-laws, each as may be amended from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify
them or hold them harmless.


 


(j)
Payments Following Accidents or Illness. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan
is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such Person
or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so
directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such Person, or any
other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such Person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment
shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.


 


(k)
Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of Delaware without reference
to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.


 


(l)
Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document or “writing” will include
any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled
or authorized by the Company to which the Participant has access) to the extent permitted by applicable law.


 


(m)
Arbitration. All disputes and claims of any nature that a Participant (or such Participant’s transferee or estate) may have
against the Company arising out of or in any way related to the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted to and resolved exclusively
by binding arbitration conducted in New York City, New York (or such other location as the parties thereto may agree) in accordance with
the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, and the arbitration shall be heard and determined by a panel
of three arbitrators in accordance with such rules (except that in the event of any inconsistency between such rules and this Section
20(m), the provisions of this Section 20(m) shall control). The arbitration panel may not modify the arbitration rules specified above
without the prior written approval of all parties to the arbitration. Within ten business days after the receipt of a written demand,
each party shall designate one arbitrator, each of whom shall have experience involving complex business or legal matters, but shall
not have any prior, existing or potential material business relationship with any party to the arbitration. The two arbitrators so designated
shall select a third arbitrator, who shall preside over the arbitration, shall be similarly qualified as the two arbitrators and shall
have no prior, existing or potential material business relationship with any party to the arbitration; provided that if the two
arbitrators are unable to agree upon the selection of such third arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be designated in accordance
with the arbitration rules referred to above. The arbitrators will decide the dispute by majority decision, and the decision shall be
rendered in writing and shall bear the signatures of the arbitrators and the party or parties who shall be charged therewith, or the
allocation of the expenses among the parties in the discretion of the panel. The arbitration decision shall be rendered as soon as possible,
but in any event not later than 120 days after the constitution of the arbitration panel. The arbitration decision shall be final and
binding upon all parties to the arbitration. The parties hereto agree that judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitration panel
may be entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York
City. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of appeal from any judgment rendered upon
any such arbitration award in any such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may seek injunctive relief in any such court.


 


(n)
Statute of Limitations. A Participant or any other person filing a claim for benefits under the Plan must file the claim within
one (1) year of the date the Participant or other person knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim. This one-year
statute of limitations will apply in any forum where a Participant or any other person may file a claim and, unless the Company waives
the time limits set forth above in its sole discretion, any claim not brought within the time periods specified shall be waived and forever
barred.

(o)
Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to
purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets,
nor shall the Company be required to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated
or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured
general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance
of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees and service providers under general law.


 


(p)
Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying, acting, or
failing to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted, or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by the independent
public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any Person
or Persons other than such member.


 


(q)
Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event
of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
