(h)

section of the Code shall be deemed to include a reference to any regulations promulgated thereunder.

the Company as may be designated by the Company from time to time in substitution thereof.

S-8 under the Securities Act.


 


(k)
“Continuous Service” means that the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as
an Employee, consultant or Director, is not interrupted or terminated. The Participant’s Continuous Service shall not be
deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or
an Affiliate as an Employee, Consultant or Director or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders such service,
provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service; provided further
that if any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, this sentence shall only be given effect to the extent consistent
with Section 409A of the Code. For example, a change in status from an Employee of the Company to a Director of an Affiliate will
not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. The Company or its delegate, in its sole discretion, may determine whether
Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick
leave, military leave or any other personal or family leave of absence. The Company or its delegate, in its sole discretion, may
determine whether a Company transaction, such as a sale or spin-off of a division or subsidiary that employs a Participant, shall
be deemed to result in a termination of Continuous Service for purposes of affected Awards, and such decision shall be final,
conclusive and binding.

that for purposes of determining eligibility to receive Incentive Stock Options, an Employee shall mean an employee of the
Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code. Mere service as a Director or payment
of a Director’s fee by the Company or an Affiliate shall not be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the
Company or an Affiliate.


 


(o)
“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


(p)
“Disability” means that the Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
any medically determinable physical or mental impairment; provided, however, for purposes of determining the term of an
Incentive Stock Option, the term Disability shall have the meaning ascribed to it under Section 22(e)(3) of the Code. The determination
of whether an individual has a Disability shall be determined under procedures established by the Company. Except in situations
where the Company is determining Disability for purposes of the term of an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Code, the Company may rely on any determination that a Participant is disabled for purposes of benefits under
any long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate in which a Participant participates.

the closing price on the date immediately preceding such date) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination.

any individual becoming a Director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election or nomination for election to the Board
was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval
of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for Director without objection to such nomination)
shall be an Incumbent Director. No individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual
or threatened election contest with respect to Directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies
by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be an Incumbent Director.

3.
Exercise Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 or 10 of this Agreement, the Option
is exercisable in installments as specified on Schedule I hereof beside the caption “Vesting”, which shall
be cumulative. To the extent that the Option has become exercisable with respect to a percentage of Shares as provided on Schedule
I hereof beside the caption “Vesting” on each date (each date being, a “Vesting Date”) upon which
the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to the percentage of Shares granted as indicated for each Vesting
Date (provided that the Continuous Service of the Optionee continues through and on the applicable Vesting Date), the Option may
thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the
Option as provided herein. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting
in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date. Upon the termination
of the Optionee’ s Continuous Service, any unvested portion of the Option shall terminate and be null and void.


 


4.
Method of Exercise. The vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part, in accordance with
the Vesting of such Options provided in Schedule I and as set forth in Section 3 hereof, by written notice which
shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such
other representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required
by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee or if someone
other than the Optionee exercises the Option, by such other person who provides documentation acceptable to the Company, or Committee,
verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise such Option, and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail
to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be
deemed to be exercised after both (a) receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and (b)
arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee, in its sole discretion, have been made for Optionee’ s payment to the
Company of the amount, if any, that is necessary to be withheld in accordance with applicable Federal or state withholding requirements.
No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the Option unless and until such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant
provisions of applicable law, including the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares then may be traded.


 


5.
Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at
the election of the Optionee:


 


(a)
in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised;


 


(b)
to the extent permitted by the Committee, or as provided on Schedule I hereof beside the caption “Permission to Pay
with Shares”, and if there is a public market available for the Shares at the time of such exercise: (i) with Shares owned
by the Optionee, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the Exercise
Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired; (ii) by withholding or reducing the number of Shares otherwise
deliverable to the Optionee upon exercise of such Option by a number of Shares with an aggregate fair market value equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price at the time of exercise; or (iii) pursuant to a “cashless exercise” procedure established
with a broker; provided that such payment by this method requires delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together
with such other documentation, and subject to such guidelines, as the Committee or Company shall require to effect an exercise
of the Option and delivery to the Company by a licensed broker acceptable to the Company of proceeds from the sale of Shares sufficient
to pay the Exercise Price and any applicable income or employment taxes; provided further that the Optionee shall provide
irrevocable written instructions (x) to such designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of a portion of the purchased
Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, an amount sufficient to cover the
aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased Shares plus all applicable state and federal income and employment taxes required
to be withheld by the Company by reason of such purchase and/or sale and (y) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the
purchase Shares directly to such brokerage firm to effect the sale transaction; or


 




    	 	6	 



     


    




 


(c)
in any other consideration or in such other manner as may be determined by the Committee, in its absolute discretion.


 


Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, no exercise shall become effective until the Company determines that the issuance and
delivery of the Shares pursuant to such exercise is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Shares may be traded.


 


6.
Termination of Option


 


(a)
General. Any unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null
and void at the time of the earliest to occur of the following:


 


(i)
unless the Committee otherwise determines in writing in its sole discretion, three months after the date on which the Optionee’
s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company or Related Entity for (a) Cause, (b) a Disability of the Optionee as determined
by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, or (c) the death of the Optionee;


 


(ii)
immediately upon the termination of the Optionee’ s Continuous Service by the Company or a Related Entity for Cause;


 


(iii)

by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee;


 


(iv)
twelve months after the date of termination of the Optionee’ s Continuous Service by reason of the death of the Optionee;
or


 


(v)
the fifth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted (or, if a different date is shown on Schedule I hereof
beside the caption “Termination Date”, such date).


 


(b)
Cancellation. To the extent not previously exercised:


 


(i)
the Option shall terminate immediately in the event of (a) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (b) any reorganization,
merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in which the Company does not survive or the Shares are exchanged
for or converted into securities issued by another entity, or an affiliate of such successor or acquiring entity, unless the successor
or acquiring entity, or an Affiliate thereof, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or right; and


 




    	 	7	 



     


    

 


 


(ii)
the Committee in its sole discretion may by written notice cancel (“cancellation notice”), effective upon the consummation
of any transaction that constitutes a Change in Control, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date.


 


The
Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a reasonable period of
time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval of such transaction),
in order that the Optionee may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to
exercise the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion of the Option that may become exercisable
upon the closing date of such transaction). The Optionee may condition their exercise of the Option upon the consummation of a
transaction referred to in this Section 6(b).


 


7.
Transferability. Unless (i) transfers are expressly permitted in the language appearing beside the caption “Expanded
Rights to Transfer Option” on Schedule I hereof or (ii) otherwise determined by the Company or Committee, the Option
granted hereby is not transferable otherwise than by will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and during
the lifetime of the Optionee the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee, or the Optionee’ s guardian or legal
representative. In addition, the Option shall not be assigned, negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation
of law or otherwise), and the Option shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer,
assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate the Option, or in the event of any levy upon the Option by reason of any execution, attachment
or similar process contrary to the provisions hereof, the Option shall immediately become null and void. The terms of this Option
shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.


 


8.
No Rights of Stockholders. Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative (or beneficiary) shall be, or shall
have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon
the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date on which the Shares are issued.


 


9.
Acceleration of Exercisability of Option.


 


(a)
Acceleration Upon Certain Terminations or Cancellations of Option. This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable
in the event that, prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, (i) the Option is terminated pursuant
to Section 6(b)(i) hereof, or (ii) the Company exercises its discretion to provide a cancellation notice with respect to
the Option pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof.


 


(b)
Acceleration Upon Change in Control. This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to

is a Change in Control.


 




    	 	8	 



     


    




 


10.
No Right to Continuous Service. Neither the Option nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to
Continuous Service with the Company or any Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect
the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without
Cause or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the By-laws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of
the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.


 


11.
Information Confidential. As partial consideration for the granting of the Option, the Optionee agrees with the
Company to keep confidential all information and knowledge that the Optionee has relating to the manner and amount of the Optionee’
s participation; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed as required by law and may be given in
confidence to the Optionee’ s spouse, the Optionee’ s tax and financial advisors, or financial institutions to the
extent that such information is necessary to secure a loan.


 


12.
Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally
delivered, delivered by facsimile or courier service, or mailed, certified with first class postage prepaid to the address specified
by the person who is to receive the same. Each such notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed
to have been given (whether actually received or not) on the date of actual delivery thereof, if personally delivered or delivered
by facsimile transmission (if receipt is confirmed at the time of such transmission by telephone or facsimile-machine-generated
confirmation), or on the third day following the date of mailing, if mailed in accordance with this Section, or on the day specified
for delivery to the courier service (if such day is one on which the courier service will give normal assurances that such specified
delivery will be made). Any notice, request, demand, or other communication given otherwise than in accordance with this Section
shall be deemed to have been given on the date actually received. Each such notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder
shall be addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company’s Secretary at Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. 555 Fifth
Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10017, or if the Company should move its principal office, to such principal office,
and, in the case of the Optionee, to the Optionee’ s last permanent address as shown on the Company’s records, subject
to the right of either party to designate some other address at any time hereafter in a notice satisfying the requirements of
this Section. Any person entitled to any notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder may waive the notice, request,
demand, or other communication.


 


13.
Section 409A.


 


(a)
It is intended that the Option awarded pursuant to this Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”)
because it is believed that (i) the Exercise Price may never be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant
and the number of Shares subject to the Option is fixed on the original Date of Grant, (ii) the transfer or exercise of the Option
is subject to taxation under Section 83 of the Code and Treas. Reg. 1.83-7, and (iii) the Option does not include any feature
for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise of the Option. The provisions
of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention, and the provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, adjusted, assumed or substituted for, converted or otherwise modified without the Optionee’ s prior written
consent if and to the extent that the Company believes or reasonably should believe that such amendment, adjustment, assumption
or substitution, conversion or modification would cause the Award to violate the requirements of Section 409A. In the event that
either the Company or the Optionee believes, at any time, that any benefit or right under this Agreement is subject to Section
409A, then the Committee may (acting alone and without any required consent of the Optionee) amend this Agreement in such manner
as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A (including
without limitation, amending the Agreement to increase the Exercise Price to such amount as may be required in order for the Option
to be exempt from Section 409A).


 




    	 	9	 



     


    




 


(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to the Optionee that the Option awarded pursuant to
this Agreement is exempt from, or satisfies, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other
obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Optionee or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that
the Optionee or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification
thereof or any other action taken with respect thereto, that either is consented to by the Optionee or that the Company reasonably
believes should not result in a violation of Section 409A, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.


 


14.
Incentive Stock Option Treatment. If designated on Schedule I hereof as an Incentive Stock Option: (a) the
terms of this Option shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent of the Company and the Optionee that the Option
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (b) if any provision of the this Agreement shall be impermissible
in order for the Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then the Option shall be construed and enforced as if such provision
had never been included in the Option; and (c) if and to the extent that the number of Options granted pursuant to this Agreement
exceeds the limitations contained in Section 422 of the Code on the value of Shares with respect to which this Option may qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option, this Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option. If designated on Schedule I hereof as
an Incentive Stock Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code,
and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to the
Optionee, any Option Holder or any other person if the Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such
at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.


 


15.
Optionee Representations.


 


(a)
Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Optionee in reliance upon the Optionee’ s representation
to the Company, which by the Optionee’ s execution of this Agreement, the Optionee hereby confirms, that the Common Stock
to be acquired by the Optionee will be acquired for investment for the Optionee’ s own account, not as a nominee or agent,
and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Optionee has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Optionee further represents
that the Optionee does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer
or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Shares. The Optionee has not been formed
for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.


 


(b)

business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the issuance of the shares with the Company’s management
and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. 


 


(d)
Legends. The Optionee understands that the Shares and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Shares, may

21.
Arbitration. By execution hereof, the parties hereto expressly agree that upon the request of any party, whether
made before or after the institution of any legal proceeding, any action, dispute, claim or controversy of any kind, whether in
contract or in tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable, arising between the parties in any way arising out of any of
the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
(the “AAA”) and in New York, NY. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the AAA and, to the maximum extent applicable, the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code) except
as otherwise specified herein. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent
jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the applicable substantive law. A single arbitrator
shall be chosen and shall decide the dispute, unless the amount sought in the dispute exceeds $100,000, in which case a panel
of three arbitrators shall decide the dispute. In all arbitration proceedings in which the amount of any award exceeds $100,000,
in the aggregate, the arbitrator(s) shall make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In all arbitration proceedings
in which the amount of any award exceeds $100,000, in the aggregate, the parties shall have, in addition to the limited statutory
right to seek a vacation or modification of an award pursuant to applicable law, the right to vacation or modification of any
award that is based, in whole or in part, on an incorrect or erroneous ruling of law by appeal to an appropriate court having
jurisdiction; provided, however, that any such application for a vacation or modification of such an award based
on an incorrect ruling of law must be filed in a court having jurisdiction over the dispute within 15 days from the date the award
is rendered. The findings of fact of the arbitrator(s) shall be binding on all parties and shall not be subject to further review
except as otherwise allowed by applicable law. No provision of this Agreement nor the exercise of any rights hereunder shall limit
the right of any party, and any party shall have the right during any dispute, to seek, use, and employ ancillary or preliminary
remedies, such as injunctive relief (including, without limitation, specific performance), from a court having jurisdiction before,
during, or after the pendency of any arbitration. The institution and maintenance of any action for judicial relief or pursuit
of provisional or ancillary remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration
nor render inapplicable the compulsory arbitration provisions hereof.

arbitration), the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in
addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.


 


23.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and shall be effective when each party
hereto has executed at least one counterpart, with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All
counterparts will be construed together and evidence only one agreement, which, notwithstanding the actual date of execution of
any counterpart, shall be deemed to be dated the day and year first written above. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall
not be necessary to account for a counterpart executed by any party other than the party against whom enforcement is sought or
to account for more than one counterpart executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
