		4.	Eligibility



 


A.            Eligibility for Awards. Awards, other than Incentive Stock Options, may be granted to any Eligible Person selected
by the Committee. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary.


 


B.             Eligibility of Consultants. A Consultant shall be an Eligible Person only if the offer or sale of the Corporation’s
securities would be eligible for registration on Form S-8 Registration Statement (or any successor form) because of the identity
and nature of the service provided by such person, unless the Corporation determines that an offer or sale of the Corporation’s
securities to such person will satisfy another exemption from the registration under the Securities Act and complies with the securities
laws of all other jurisdictions applicable to such offer or sale. Accordingly, an Award may not be granted pursuant to this Plan
for the purpose of the Corporation obtaining financing or for investor relations purposes.


 


C.             Substitution Awards. The Committee may make Awards under this Plan by assumption, in substitution or replacement
of performance shares, phantom shares, stock awards, stock options or similar awards granted by another entity (including an Affiliate)
in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock or similar transaction. Notwithstanding any provision

		5.	Common Stock
Subject to Plan



 


A.            Share Reserve and Limitations on Grants. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be (i) issued
under this Plan pursuant to the exercise of Options (without regard to whether payment on exercise of the Stock Option is made
in cash or shares of Common Stock) and (ii) issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall be 570,000 shares, of which up to 200,000 shares
shall be reserved specifically for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9. Notwithstanding any provision hereto to the contrary, shares
subject to the Plan shall include shares forfeited in a prior year as provided herein. For purposes of determining the number of
shares of Common Stock available under this Plan, shares of Common Stock withheld by the Corporation to satisfy applicable tax
withholding obligations pursuant to Section 10 of this Plan shall be deemed issued under this Plan. No single participant
may receive more than 25% of the total Options awarded in any single year.


 


B.             Reversion of Shares. If an Option or Stock Award is terminated, expires or becomes unexercisable, in whole or in
part, for any reason, the unissued or unpurchased shares of Common Stock which were subject thereto shall become available for
future grant under this Plan. Shares of Common Stock that have been actually issued under this Plan shall not be returned to the
share reserve for future grants under this Plan; except that shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Award which are
forfeited to the Corporation or repurchased by the Corporation at the original purchase price of such shares, shall be returned
to the share reserve for future grant under this Plan.


 


C.             Source of Shares. Common Stock issued under this Plan may be shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares
of previously issued Common Stock that have been reacquired by the Corporation.


 


		6.	Options



 


A.            Award. In accordance with the provisions of Section 4, the Committee will designate each Eligible Person to
whom an Option is to be granted and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Option. The Stock Option
Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option, the exercise price of such
Option, the vesting schedule applicable to such Option, the expiration date of such Option, events of termination of such Option,
and any other terms of such Option. No Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be invalid for failure to
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.


 


B.             Option Price. The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee,
but shall comply with the following:


 


(i)             
The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of
the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.


 


(ii)            
The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who is deemed
to be a Ten Percent Owner on the date such option is granted, shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value on the date of grant.


 


C.             Maximum Option Period. The maximum period during which an Option may be exercised shall be ten (10) years from
the date such Option was granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Participant who is or is deemed
to be a Ten Percent Owner on the date of grant, such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years
from the date of grant.


 



    6


     


    

 


D.             Maximum Value of Options which are Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to any Participant are exercisable for the first time during
any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (or such other
amount provided in Section 422 of the Code), the Options shall not be deemed to be Incentive Stock Options. For purposes of
this section, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock will be determined as of the time the Incentive Stock Option with respect
to the Common Stock is granted. This section will be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in which
they are granted.


 


E.             Nontransferability. Options granted under this Plan which are intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be nontransferable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Participant, shall be exercisable by
only the Participant to whom the Incentive Stock Option is granted. Except to the extent transferability of a Nonqualified Stock
Option is provided for in the Stock Option Agreement or is approved by the Committee, during the lifetime of the Participant to
whom the Nonqualified Stock Option is granted, such Option may be exercised only by the Participant. If the Stock Option Agreement
so provides or the Committee so approves, a Nonqualified Stock Option may be transferred by a Participant through a gift or domestic
relations order to the Participant’s family members to the extent such transfer complies with applicable securities laws
and regulations and provided that such transfer is not a transfer for value (within the meaning of applicable securities laws and
regulations). The holder of a Nonqualified Stock Option transferred pursuant to this section shall be bound by the same terms and
conditions that governed the Option during the period that it was held by the Participant. No right or interest of a Participant
in any Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant, unless such obligation
is to the Corporation itself or to an Affiliate.


 


F.             Vesting. Options will vest as provided in the Stock Option Agreement.


 


G.             Termination. Options will terminate as provided in the Stock Option Agreement.


 


H.            Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement, an Option may be exercised
to the extent vested in whole at any time or in part from time to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as
the Committee shall determine. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time
in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the Option.
An Option may not be exercised with respect to fractional shares of Common Stock. The Participant may face certain restrictions
on his/her ability to exercise Options and/or sell underlying shares when such Participant is potentially in possession of insider
information. The Corporation will make the Participant aware of any formal insider trading policy it adopts, and the provisions
of such insider trading policy (including any amendments thereto) shall be binding upon the Participant.


 


I.              Payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Stock Option Agreement, payment of the exercise price for an Option shall
be made in cash or a cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee or if the Common Stock is traded on an established securities
market, by payment of the exercise price by a broker-dealer or by the Option holder with cash advanced by the broker-dealer if
the exercise notice is accompanied by the Option holder’s written irrevocable instructions to deliver the Common Stock acquired
upon exercise of the Option to the broker-dealer or by delivery of the Common Stock to the broker-dealer with an irrevocable commitment
by the broker-dealer to forward the exercise price to the Corporation. With the consent of the Committee, payment of all or a part
of the exercise price of an Option may also be made (i) by surrender to the Corporation (or delivery to the Corporation of
a properly executed form of attestation of ownership) of shares of Common Stock that have been held for such period prior to the
date of exercise as is necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment to the Corporation, or (ii) any other method acceptable
to the Committee. If Common Stock is used to pay all or part of the exercise price, the sum of the cash or cash equivalent and
the Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of exercise) of the shares surrendered must not be less than the Option price
of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.


 


J.              Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to shares subject to an Option
until the date of exercise of such Option and the certificate for shares of Common Stock to be received on exercise of such Option
has been issued by the Corporation.


 



    7


     


    

 


K.            Disposition and Stock Certificate Legends for Incentive Stock Option Shares. A Participant shall notify the Corporation
of any sale or other disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option if such sale or disposition occurs
(i) within two years of the grant of an Option or (ii) within one year of the issuance of the Common Stock to the Participant.
Such notice shall be in writing and directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation or is his/her absence, the Chief
Executive Officer. The Corporation may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise
of Incentive Stock Options issued under this Plan be endorsed with a legend in substantially the following form:


 


THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO ___, 20___, IN THE ABSENCE OF A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE CORPORATION TO THE EFFECT THAT
THE CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THE FACTS OF SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER.


 


The blank contained in this legend shall
be filled in with the date that is the later of (i) one year and one day after the date of the exercise of such Incentive Stock
Option or (ii) two years and one day after the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.


 


L.             No Repricing. In no event shall the Committee permit a Repricing of any Option without the approval of the stockholders
of the Corporation.

Any grant, or the vesting thereof, may be further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives established
by the Committee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 of this Plan regarding Performance Shares.


 


(vi)          
Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement delivered to and accepted by the Participant and containing such terms and
provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. The terms and conditions of the agreements for Deferred Shares
may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Deferred
Shares need not be identical.


 


		8.	Performance
Shares



 


A.            The Committee may authorize grants of Performance Shares, which shall become payable to the Participant upon the achievement
of specified Performance Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following
provisions:


 


(i)              Each grant shall specify the number of Performance Shares to which it pertains, which may be subject to adjustment to reflect
changes in compensation or other factors.


 


(ii)             The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Share shall commence on the date established by the Committee and
may be subject to earlier termination in the event of a change in control of the Corporation or similar transaction or event.


 


(iii)            Each grant shall specify the Performance Objectives that are to be achieved by the Participant.


 


(iv)            Each grant may specify in respect of the specified Performance Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement below
which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is
at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives.


 


(v)            Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Performance Shares that shall have been earned, and any grant
may specify that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof and
may either grant to the Participant or reserve to the Committee the right to elect among those alternatives.


 


(vi)           Any grant of Performance Shares may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified
by the Committee on the date of grant.


 


(vii)          Any grant of Performance Shares may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend or other distribution equivalents
thereon in cash or additional shares of Common Stock on a current, deferred or contingent basis.


 


(viii)        
If provided in the terms of the grant and subject to the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code (in the case of awards
intended to qualify for exception therefrom), the Committee may adjust Performance Objectives and the related minimum acceptable
level of achievement if, in the sole judgment of the Committee, events or transactions have occurred after the date of grant that
are unrelated to the performance of the Participant and result in distortion of the Performance Objectives or the related minimum
acceptable level of achievement.


 



    9


     


    

 


(ix)            Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be delivered to and accepted by the Participant, which shall state
that the Performance Shares are subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and such other terms and provisions as
the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. The terms and conditions of the agreements for Performance Shares may change
from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Performance Shares
need not be identical.


 


(x)             Until the achievement of the Performance Objectives and the resulting issuance of the Performance Shares, the Participant
shall not have any rights as a stockholder in the Performance Shares and shall not have any right to vote such shares, but the
Committee may on or after the date of grant, authorize the payment of dividend or other distribution equivalents on such shares
in cash or additional shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis.


 


		9.	Changes in
Capital Structure



 


A.            No Limitations of Rights. The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes
in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issuance
of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the
dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other
corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.


 


B.             Changes in Capitalization. If the Corporation shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital
readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding,
without receiving consideration therefore in money, services or property, then (i) the number, class, and per share price of shares
of Common Stock subject to outstanding Options and other Awards hereunder and (ii) the number of and class of shares then reserved
for issuance under this Plan and the maximum number of shares for which Awards may be granted to a Participant during a specified
time period shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted. The conversion of convertible securities of the Corporation shall
not be treated as effected “without receiving consideration.” The Committee shall make such adjustments, and its determinations
shall be final, binding and conclusive.


 


C.             Merger, Consolidation or Asset Sale. If the Corporation is merged or consolidated with another entity or sells or
otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another company while Options or Stock Awards remain outstanding under
this Plan, unless provisions are made in connection with such transaction for the continuance of this Plan and/or the assumption
or substitution of such Options or Stock Awards with new options or stock awards covering the stock of the successor company, or
parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, then all outstanding
Options and Stock Awards which have not been continued, assumed or for which a substituted award has not been granted shall, whether
or not vested or then exercisable, unless otherwise specified in the Stock Option Agreement or Stock Award Agreement, terminate
immediately as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale.


 


D.            Limitation on Adjustment. Except as previously expressly provided, neither the issuance by the Corporation of shares
of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services
either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations
of the Corporation convertible into such shares or other securities, nor the increase or decrease of the number of authorized shares
of stock, nor the addition or deletion of classes of stock, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number, class or price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding Options or Stock Awards.

		10.	Withholding
of Taxes



 


The Corporation or an Affiliate shall have
the right, before any certificate for any Common Stock is delivered, to deduct or withhold from any payment owed to a Participant
any amount that is necessary in order to satisfy any withholding requirement that the Corporation or Affiliate in good faith believes
is imposed upon it in connection with U.S federal, state, or local taxes, including transfer taxes, as a result of the issuance
of, or lapse of restrictions on, such Common Stock, or otherwise require such Participant to make provision for payment of any
such withholding amount. Subject to such conditions as may be established by the Committee, the Committee may permit a Participant
to (i) have Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Option or Stock Award withheld to the extent necessary to comply with
minimum statutory withholding rate requirements; (ii) tender back to the Corporation shares of Common Stock received pursuant
to an Option or Stock Award to the extent necessary to comply with minimum statutory withholding rate requirements for supplemental
income; (iii) deliver to the Corporation previously acquired Common Stock; (iv) have funds withheld from payments of
wages, salary or other cash compensation due the Participant; (v) pay the Corporation or its Affiliate in cash, in order to
satisfy part or all of the obligations for any taxes required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by the Corporation
or its Affiliate with respect to the Option of Stock Award; or (vi) establish a 10b5-1 trading plan for withheld stock designed
to facilitate the sale of stock in connection with the vesting of such shares, the proceeds of which shall be utilized to make
all applicable withholding payments in a manner to be coordinated by the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer.


 


		11.	Compliance
with Law and Approval of Regulatory Bodies



 


A.            General Requirements. No Option or Stock Award shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificates
for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable
federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to
which the Corporation is a party, and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges or quotation systems on which the Corporation’s
shares may be listed. The Corporation shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. In the absence
of an effective and current registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, or a specific exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan shall be restricted shares.
Any share certificate issued to evidence Common Stock when a Stock Award is granted or for which an Option is exercised may bear
such restrictive legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and
regulations. No Option or Stock Award shall be exercisable, no Stock Award shall be granted, no Common Stock shall be issued, no
certificate for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Corporation has obtained such
consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.


 


B.             Participant Representations. The Committee may require that a Participant, as a condition to receipt or exercise
of a particular award, execute and deliver to the Corporation a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Committee, in which
the Participant represents and warrants that the shares are being acquired for such person’s own account, for investment
only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. The Participant shall, at the request of the Committee, be required
to represent and warrant in writing that any subsequent resale or distribution of shares of Common Stock by the Participant shall
be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, which registration
statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, but in claiming such exemption the Participant shall, prior to any offer
of sale or sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel
for the Corporation, as to the application of such exemption thereto.


 



    11


     


    

 


		12.	General Provisions



 


A.            Effect on Employment and Service. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents describing
or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall (i) confer upon any individual any right to continue in the employ or service
of the Corporation or an Affiliate, (ii) in any way affect any right and power of the Corporation or an Affiliate to change
an individual’s duties or terminate the employment or service of any individual at any time with or without assigning a reason
therefor or (iii) except to the extent the Committee grants an Option or Stock Award to such individual, confer on any individual
the right to participate in the benefits of this Plan.


 


B.             Use of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Corporation from any sale of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan shall
be used for general corporate purposes.


 


C.             Unfunded Plan. This Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the Corporation shall not be
required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the Corporation
to any Participant with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be
created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the Corporation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance
on, any property of the Corporation.


 


D.             Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the Sections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.
The reference to any statute, regulation, or other provision of law shall be construed to refer to any amendment to or successor
of such provision of law.


 


E.             Choice of Law. This Plan and all Stock Option Agreements, Stock Award Agreements, and Performance Agreements (or
any other agreements) entered into under this Plan shall be interpreted under the Corporation Law excluding (to the greatest extent
permissible by law) any rule of law that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Corporation
Law.


 


F.             Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee
may provide for elimination of fractional shares or the settlement of such fractional shares in cash.


 


G.             Foreign Employees. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee
may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who are employed by the Corporation
or any Affiliate outside of the United States, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences
in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative
versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this
Plan, as then in effect, unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the
stockholders of the Corporation. The terms and conditions set forth in Annex A attached hereto, or any other such annex as indicated
thereon, shall supplement this Plan to the extent necessary to provide for tax or other considerations for Participants who are
foreign nationals, or who are employed by the Corporation or any Affiliate outside of the United States.


 


		13.	Amendment and
Termination



 


The Board may amend or terminate this Plan
from time to time; provided, however, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that (i) increases the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan, except as contemplated herein; (ii) changes the class
of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options; (iii) modifies the restrictions on Repricings set forth in this Plan;
or (iv) is required by the terms of any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any market on which the
Corporation shares are traded or exchange on which the Corporation shares are listed. Except as specifically permitted by this
Plan, any Stock Option Agreement or any Stock Award Agreement or as required to comply with applicable law, regulation or rule,
no amendment shall, without a Participant’s consent, adversely affect any rights of such Participant under any Option or
Stock Award outstanding at the time such amendment is made; provided, however, that an amendment that may cause an Incentive Stock
Option to become a Nonqualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Participant. Any amendment
requiring stockholder approval shall be approved by the stockholders of the Corporation within twelve (12) months of the date
such amendment is adopted by the Board.

B.             Unless previously terminated, this Plan will terminate ten (10) years after the date this Plan is first deemed effective,
except that Awards that are granted under this Plan prior to its termination will continue to be administered under the terms of
this Plan until the Awards terminate, expire or are exercised.

to be executed by a duly authorized officer as of the date of adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors.
