SECTION
3



STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN


 


3.1          
Number of and Source of Shares. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the
Plan shall be 30,000,000, as increased on the date of any equity issuance by the Company during the term of the Plan by a number
of shares of Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the total number of equity securities issued by the Company in such equity issuance.
The Stock which may be issued pursuant to an Award under the Plan may be treasury Stock, authorized but unissued Stock, or Stock
acquired, subsequently or in anticipation of the transaction, in the open market to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Awards
may consist of any combination of such Stock, or, at the election of the Company, cash. The aggregate number of shares of Stock
as to which Awards may be granted during any calendar year to any Participant who is a “covered employee” for purposes
of Section 162(m) of the Code during such calendar year may not be greater than the number of shares initially reserved for issuance
pursuant to this Section 3.1.


 


3.2          
Unrealized and Tandem Awards. If any shares of Stock subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered
or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the Participant, the shares of Stock with respect
to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again
be available for grants under the Plan. The grant of a Tandem Award (as defined herein) shall not reduce the number of shares of
Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan. The Company reserves the right to cancel any Stock Option which has a
per-share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of an underlying share of Stock as of the date
of such cancellation, and any shares of Stock which were subject to such cancelled Stock Option shall again be available for the
issuance of Stock Options, including issuance to the Person that held the cancelled Stock Option, irrespective of whether such
issuance would be deemed a repricing of such Stock Option.


 


3.3          
Adjustment of Awards. Upon the occurrence of any event which affects the shares of Stock in such a way that an adjustment
of outstanding Awards is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights under the Awards (including, without
limitation, any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in cash or in kind), recapitalization, stock split, reverse
split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate
transaction or event), the Committee shall make appropriate equitable adjustments, which may include, without limitation, adjustments
to any or all of the number and kind of shares of Stock (or other securities) which may thereafter be issued in connection with
such outstanding Awards and adjustments to any exercise price specified in the outstanding Awards and shall also make appropriate
equitable adjustments to the number and kind of shares of Stock (or other securities) authorized by or to be granted under the
Plan. Such other substitutions or adjustments shall be made respecting Awards hereunder as may be determined by the Committee,
in its sole discretion. In connection with any event described in this paragraph, the Committee may provide, in its discretion,
for the 



    	6



    	 



    

cancellation of any outstanding Award and payment in cash or other property in exchange therefor, equal to the difference,
if any, between the fair market value of the Stock or other property subject to the Award, and the exercise price, if any.


 


SECTION
4


 


ELIGIBILITY


 


Each Participant shall be eligible to receive
Awards under the Plan. Additional Participants under the Plan may be selected from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
and the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of shares covered by each Award.


 


SECTION
5


 


AWARDS


 


Awards may include, but are not limited to,
those described in this Section 5. The Committee may grant Awards singly, in tandem or in combination with other Awards, as the
Committee may in its sole discretion determine.


 


5.1          
Stock Options. Except as provided in any Award Agreement, a Stock Option represents the right to receive an amount
in cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the per share exercise price
of such Stock Option, less any applicable tax withholdings. The Award Agreement may provide for the settlement of a Stock Option
in shares of Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement.


 


(a)          
A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the
number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is being exercised.


 


(b)          
If settled in shares of Stock, the exercise price of the Stock Option may be paid in cash or its equivalent, as determined
by the Committee. As determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, or as otherwise set forth in Sections 5.5(b) and 5.5(c)
below, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by withholding from shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of
such Stock Option, (ii) in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the Participant which has a Fair Market Value on the
date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of the Stock as to which such Stock Option shall be exercised or (iii) by
means of any other cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee. No fractional shares of Stock will be issued or accepted.


 


5.2          
Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is a right to receive, upon surrender of the right, an amount
payable in cash and/or shares of Stock under such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.


 


(a)          
A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in tandem with part or all of (or in addition to, or completely independent of)
a Stock Option or any other Award under 



    	7



    	 



    

this Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right issued in tandem with a Stock Option may be granted
at the time of grant of the related Stock Option or at any time thereafter during the term of the Stock Option.


 


(b)          
The amount payable in cash and/or shares of Stock with respect to each right shall be equal in value to a percentage (including
up to 100%) of the amount by which the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the exercise date exceeds the Fair Market Value
per share of Stock on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. The applicable percentage shall be established by the
Committee. The Award Agreement may state whether the amount payable is to be paid wholly in cash, wholly in shares of Stock, or
in any combination of the foregoing; if the Award Agreement does not so state the manner of payment, the Committee shall determine
such manner of payment at the time of payment. The amount payable in shares of Stock, if any, is determined with reference to the
Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the date of exercise.


 


(c)          
Stock Appreciation Rights issued in tandem with Stock Options shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Stock Options
to which they relate are exercisable. Upon exercise of the tandem Stock Appreciation Right, and to the extent of such exercise,
the Participant’s underlying Stock Option shall automatically terminate. Similarly, upon the exercise of the tandem Stock Option,
and to the extent of such exercise, the Participant’s related Stock Appreciation Right shall automatically terminate.


 


5.3          
Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock is Stock that is issued to a Participant and is subject to such terms, conditions
and restrictions as the Committee deems appropriate, which may include, but are not limited to, restrictions upon the sale, assignment,
transfer or other disposition of the Restricted Stock and the requirement of forfeiture of the Restricted Stock upon termination
of employment or service under certain specified conditions. The Committee may provide for the lapse of any such term or condition
or waive any term or condition based on such factors or criteria as the Committee may determine. Subject to the restrictions stated
in this Section 5.3 and in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall have, with respect to Awards of Restricted Stock,
all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive any
cash or stock dividends on such Stock. The Company may require that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Stock, the Participant
shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such award.


 


5.4          
Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be granted under this Plan from time to time based on such terms and conditions
as the Committee deems appropriate provided that such Awards shall not be inconsistent with the terms and purposes of this Plan.
Performance Awards are Awards which are contingent upon the performance of all or a portion of the Company and/or its subsidiaries
and/or which are contingent upon the individual performance of a Participant. Performance Awards may be in the form of performance
units, performance shares and such other forms of Performance Awards as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall determine
the performance measurements and criteria for such Performance Awards. The Company may require that, as a condition of any award
of Performance Awards, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by
such award.


 



    	8



    	 



    




5.5          
Manager Awards and Tandem Awards.


 


(a)          
Grant of Manager Awards. As consideration for the Manager’s role in raising capital for the Company, the Manager
may be awarded Stock Options in connection with any equity issuance by the Company, relating to that number of shares of Stock
up to ten percent (10%) of the equity securities issued by the Company in such equity issuance, subject to the proviso contained
in Section 5.5(f) below (the “Manager Awards”).


 


(b)          
Terms of Manager Awards. The Stock Options referred to in clause (a) above shall be 100% vested as of the date of
grant and become exercisable as to 1/30th of the Stock subject to the Stock Options on the first day of each of the following 30
calendar months following the date of grant. Such Stock Options shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Such
Stock Options shall have a per share price equal to the offering price of the equity issuance in connection with which such Stock
Options are awarded (as determined by the Committee), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof. If settled in shares
of Stock, the exercise price of such Stock Options may be paid in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Committee. Payment
in whole or in part may also be made by the following cashless exercise procedures: (i) by withholding from shares of Stock otherwise
issuable upon exercise of such Stock Option, (ii) in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the Manager which has a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of the Stock as to which such Stock Option shall be exercised
or (iii) by means of any other cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee. No fractional shares of Stock will be issued
or accepted. The Award Agreement with respect to such Stock Options shall also set forth the vesting and exercise schedule of such
Stock Options and such other terms and conditions with respect to such Stock Options and the delivery of shares of Company Stock
subject to such Stock Options as the Committee may determine.


 


(c)          
Each of the Committee and/or the Manager shall have the authority to direct awards of Stock Options to such employees of
the Manager who act as officers of or perform other services for the Company, which options shall be tandem to the Stock Options
that are the subject of outstanding Manager Awards designated by the Manager—i.e., Stock Options that are subject
to certain designated Manager Awards would alternatively relate to Stock Options that are the subject of the tandem awards granted
to Persons who perform services for or on behalf of the Company, provided that such Stock Options may relate to either the designated
Manager Awards or the tandem awards but not both (the “Tandem Awards”).
As determined by the Manager, in its sole discretion, if a Tandem Award is settled in shares of Stock, payment of the exercise
price of such Tandem Award in whole or in part may be made by the following cashless exercise procedures: (i) by withholding from
shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Tandem Award, (ii) in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by
the holder of such Tandem Award which has a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of the
Stock as to which such Tandem Award shall be exercised or (iii) by means of any other cashless exercise procedure approved by the
Committee.


 


(d)          
As a condition to the grant of Tandem Awards, the Manager shall be required to agree that so long as such Tandem Awards
remain outstanding, it will not exercise any Stock Options under any designated Manager Award that are related to the options under
such outstanding Tandem Awards. If Stock Options under a Tandem Award are forfeited, expire 



    	9



    	 



    

or are cancelled without being exercised,
the related Stock Options under the designated Manager Award shall again become exercisable in accordance with its terms. Upon
the exercise of Stock Options under a Tandem Award, the related Stock Options under the designated Manager Award shall terminate.


 


(e)          
The terms and conditions of each such Tandem Awards (e.g., the per share exercise price, the schedule of vesting,
exercisability and form of settlement, etc.) shall be determined by the Committee or the Manager, as the case may be, in its sole
discretion and shall be included in an Award Agreement, provided, that the term of such award may not be greater than the
term of its related Manager Award.


 


(f)          
Other Awards. The Committee may, from time to time, grant such Awards to the Manager as the Committee deems advisable
in order to provide additional incentive to the Manager to enhance the value of the Company’s Stock; provided, however,
that no Award shall be awarded to the Manager (or its designee) in connection with any equity issuance by the Company which relates
to, or provides for the acquisition of, a number of equity securities in excess of ten percent (10%) of the maximum number of equity
securities then being proposed to be issued by the Company.


 


(g)          
Change in Control and Termination Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein, unless otherwise provided in any Award
Agreement to the contrary, upon a Change in Control or a termination of the Manager’s services to the Company for any reason, all
Awards granted to the Manager pursuant to this Plan shall become immediately and fully exercisable, and all Tandem Awards shall
be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreements.


 


(h)          
Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall, upon the Manager’s reasonable request, (i) use commercially reasonable
efforts to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) the securities that may
be issued and sold under the Plan or the resale of such securities issued and sold pursuant to the Plan or (ii) enter into a registration
rights agreement with the Manager on terms to be mutually agreed upon between the parties.


 


5.6          
Automatic Non-Officer Director Awards.


 


(a)          
Initial Grant of Non-Officer Director Stock Options. Each Non-Officer Director shall be granted a Stock Option, which
shall be fully vested as of the date of the grant, relating to 5,000 shares of Stock (each, a “Non-Officer
Director Stock Option”), upon the date of the first Board of Director’s meeting attended by such Non-Officer Director.
The option price per share of Stock under the Non-Officer Director Stock Option shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.


 


(b)          
Stock Availability. In the event that the number of shares of Stock available for grant under the Plan is not sufficient
to accommodate the Awards of Non-Officer Director Stock Options, then the remaining shares of Stock available for such automatic
awards shall be granted to each Non-Officer Director who is to receive such an award on a pro-rata basis. No further grants shall
be made until such time, if any, as additional shares of Stock 



    	10



    	 



    

become available for grant under the Plan through action of the
Board or the stockholders of the Company to increase the number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan or through
cancellation or expiration of Awards previously granted hereunder.


 


(c)          
Term; Method of Exercise of Non-Officer Director Stock Option. Each Non-Officer Director Stock Option shall cease
to be exercisable no later than the date that is ten (10) years following the date of grant. If settled in shares of Stock, the
exercise price of such Stock Options may be paid in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Committee. As determined by the
Committee, in its sole discretion, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of any cashless exercise procedure
approved by the Committee (including the withholding of shares of Stock otherwise issuable on exercise), or (ii) in the form of
unrestricted Stock already owned by the Non-Officer Director which has a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
aggregate option price of the Stock as to which such Stock Option shall be exercised. No fractional shares of Stock will be issued
or accepted.


 


(d)          
Award Agreements. Each recipient of a Non-Officer Director Stock Option shall enter into an Award Agreement with
the Company, which agreement shall set forth, among other things, the exercise price, the term and provisions regarding exercisability
and form of settlement of the Non-Officer Director Stock Option, which provisions shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this
Section 5.6 and Section 6.1. The Award Agreement with respect to such Non-Officer Director Stock Option shall also set forth such
other terms and conditions with respect to Awards to the Non-Officer Director as the Committee may determine.


 


5.7          
Other Awards.


 


The Committee may from time to time grant
to its Non-Officer Directors or any other Participants shares of Stock, other Stock-based and non-Stock-based Awards under the
Plan, including without limitation those Awards pursuant to which shares of Stock are or may in the future be acquired, Awards
denominated in Stock, securities convertible into Stock, phantom securities, dividend equivalents and cash. The Committee shall
determine the terms and conditions of such other Stock, Stock-based and non-Stock-based Awards provided that such Awards shall
not be inconsistent with the terms and purposes of this Plan.


 


SECTION

Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock purchasable under an Award (as determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion at the time of grant); provided that, the exercise price shall not be less than the par value of
the Stock provided, further, that Awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within
the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, or exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code under Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(A),
shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date.

(e)

Rights as Stockholder. A provision that a Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any securities
covered by an Award until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record. Except as provided in Section 3.3 hereof, no adjustment
shall be made for dividends or other rights, unless the Award Agreement specifically requires such adjustment, in which case, grants
of dividend equivalents or similar rights shall not be considered to be a grant of any other stockholder right.


 


(h)          
Nontransferability. A provision that except under the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise permitted
by the Committee, in its sole discretion, or, in respect of Manager Awards, grants of Tandem Awards, the Participant shall not
be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any Award, and all Awards shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime,
only by the Participant; provided, however, that the Participant shall be permitted to transfer one or more Stock
Options to a trust controlled by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime for estate planning purposes.

in Control, (7) the right of the Company and such other Persons as the Committee shall 



    	12



    	 



    

designate (“Designees”)
to repurchase from a Participant, and such Participant’s permitted transferees, all shares of Stock issued or issuable to such
Participant in connection with an Award in the event of such Participant’s termination of employment or service, (8) rights of
first refusal granted to the Company and Designees, if any, (9) holdback and other registration right restrictions in the event
of a public registration of any equity securities of the Company and (10) any other terms and conditions which the Committee shall
deem necessary and desirable.


 


SECTION

LOANS


 


To the extent permitted by applicable law,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company may make loans available to Stock
Option holders in connection with the exercise of outstanding Stock Options that are settled in shares of Stock, as the Committee,
in its discretion, may determine. Such loans shall (i) be evidenced by promissory notes entered into by the Stock Option holders
in favor of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, (ii) be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 7 and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, (iii) bear interest,
if any, at such rate as the Committee shall determine, and (iv) be subject to Board approval (or to approval by the Committee to
the extent the Board may delegate such authority). In no event may the principal amount of any such loan exceed the sum of (x)
the exercise price less the par value of the shares of Stock covered by the Stock Option, or portion thereof, exercised by the
holder, and (y) any federal, state, and local income tax attributable to such exercise. The initial term of the loan, the schedule
of payments of principal and interest under the loan, the extent to which the loan is to be with or without recourse against the
holder with respect to principal or interest and the conditions upon which the loan will become payable in the event of the holder’s
termination of employment or service shall be determined by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, when a loan
is made, shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged by the
holder to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan, and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge
agreement, the terms of which shall be determined by the Committee, in its discretion; provided that, each loan shall comply
with all applicable laws, and all regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction.


 


SECTION

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


 


The Board may at any time and from time-to-time
alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided that, no amendment which requires stockholder
approval in order for the Plan to comply with a rule or regulation deemed applicable by the Committee, shall be effective unless
the same shall be approved by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no amendment shall affect adversely any of the rights of any Participant, without such Participant’s consent, under
any Award or Loan theretofore granted under the Plan.

SECTION

UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN


 


The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded”
plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein
shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.


 


SECTION
10


 


GENERAL PROVISIONS


 


10.1         
Securities Laws Compliance. Shares of Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Award granted hereunder
unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such shares of Stock pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.


 


10.2         
Representation. If a Stock Option is settled in shares of Stock, the Committee may require each Person purchasing
shares pursuant to such Stock Option to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such Person is acquiring the Stock
subject thereto without a view to distribution thereof.


 


10.3         
Transfer Restrictions. All shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders
and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Commission,
any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law.


 


10.4         
Company Actions; No Right to Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other
or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is necessary and desirable; and such
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of the Plan shall not confer
upon any employee, consultant, service provider or advisor of the Company any right to continued employment or service with the
Company, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the employment or service
of any of its employees, consultants or advisors at any time.


 


10.5         
Section 409A of the Code. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan be exempt from,
or comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan
shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within
the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation
unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order
to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable 



    	14



    	 



    

and
benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan or any other agreement between the Company and the Participant during
the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business
day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death,
if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant
to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be construed as a separate identified
payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.


 


10.6         
Payment of Taxes. Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes
includible in the gross income of the Participant for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory
to the Committee regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect
to the Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements,
and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise
due to the Participant.


 


10.7         
Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law of such state.
