Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") 78.138(7) provides that, subject to limited statutory exceptions and unless the articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto (in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003) provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to a corporation or its shareholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless presumptions of acting in good faith, on an informed basis, and

------

with a view to the interests of the corporation have been rebutted (to the extent applicable) and it is proven that: (i) the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (ii) the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

NRS 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

Indemnification may not be made under NRS 78.7502 for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

NRS 78.7502(3) provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 (unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to NRS 78.751(2)), may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made (i) by the shareholders; (ii) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. NRS 78.751(2) provides that the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, or an agreement made by the corporation, may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense

Under the NRS, the indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.751:

• Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in the person's official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to NRS 78.751(2), may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the director's or officer's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the articles of incorporation or any bylaw is not eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

Our governing documents provide that to the fullest extent permitted under the NRS, we may provide for indemnification of our directors and officers in their respective capacities as such and in any and all other capacities in which any of them serves at our request.

We have entered into agreements that provide we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law in the event such person is or is threatened to be made a party to or with a participant in an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving as one of the Registrant's officers or directors, and to advance expenses incurred by such person incurred by such person in any such proceeding, including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, to such person in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

\* Filed herewith.

**Item 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Undertakings.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the

------

aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

*provided, however*, that:

Paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Irving, State of Texas on August 13, 2025.

**STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT**

**ENVELA CORPORATION**

**2025 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN**

**Kind of Option.** This Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (an "**ISO**") or a Non-Statutory Option (an "**NSO**"), as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. Even if this Option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it shall be deemed to be an NSO to the extent (and only to the extent) required by the annual limitation under Code Section 422.

**Vesting of Option.** Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement (the "**Agreement**"), Participant's Option will be exercisable with respect to the shares of Common Stock that have become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. Treatment of unvested Option and the Participant's right to exercise vested Option upon various termination events are set forth in Section 5 below.

**Term.** Participant's Option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date that is ten (10) years after the Date of Grant (five (5) years after the Date of Grant for ISOs awarded to a ten percent (10%) shareholder of the Company within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) (the "**Expiration Date**"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant's Option will expire earlier if Participant's service terminates, as described below.

**Exercise of Option.** 

<u>Notice of Exercise</u>. After the Option has become exercisable and while it remains exercisable in accordance with <u>Section 5</u>, the Participant may exercise the Option in whole or in part by delivering a signed, written notice to the Company indicating the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased. The Option must be exercised as to a whole number of shares of Common Stock.

<u>Payment of Exercise Price</u>. The Participant must pay the Exercise Price of any Option at the time of exercise: (i) in United States dollars, in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company; or (ii) with the prior consent of the Committee (which consent may be refused for any reason) (x) with shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant with a Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price being duly endorsed for transfer to the Company free and clear of any encumbrance; (y) by surrendering to the Company exercisable Option shares of Common Stock hereunder with a net aggregate value equal to the Exercise Price (a cashless exercise); or (z) any combination of cash, check, shares of Common Stock and/or exercisable Option shares of Common Stock meeting the requirements above.

<u>Withholding Obligation</u>. The tax withholding obligations upon the Participant's exercise of the Option must be satisfied by the Participant paying the amount of required withholding to the Company in cash or by check; provided, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, permit the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock delivered or from other amounts payable to the Participant, the minimum amount (or such greater amount as permitted under the Plan) of funds required to cover applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such exercise of the Option.

<u>Use of Shares of Common Stock</u>. Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy the Exercise Price and/or any required withholding tax (including shares of Common Stock underlying surrendered Option shares) will be valued at their Fair Market Value, determined according to the Plan.

<u>Condition of Transfer</u>. The Company will issue no shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option before the Participant has: (i) paid the Exercise Price, and any withholding obligation, in full; (ii) executed any applicable Company Governing Documents (or adoption or joinder agreement thereto) as required by the Company; and (iii) satisfied all conditions and/or restrictions applicable to the Option or Stock.

------

**Termination of Service**. Upon termination of Participant's service with the Company or any other Subsidiary, treatment of unvested Option and the Participant's right to exercise the vested Option will be subject to the rules set forth in the Plan (see, e.g., paragraph 7€-(h):

**Tax Withholding.**

Participant will not be allowed to exercise this Option unless Participant pays, or makes acceptable arrangements to pay, any taxes required to be withheld as a result of the Option exercise or the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Option. Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll or any other payment due to Participant from the Company to satisfy any such withholding tax obligation.

By signing this Agreement, Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents and agrees to assume any liability for fringe benefit tax that may be payable by the Company in connection with the Option granted under this Agreement to the extent permitted under applicable law. Further, by signing this Agreement, Participant agrees that the Company may collect the fringe benefit tax from Participant by any reasonable method established by the Company. Participant further agrees to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the above, promptly upon request of the Company.

**Restrictive Covenants.** As a condition and in consideration of this Award, Participant will be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Participant's employment agreement and if no such agreement exists, Participant will be subject to the restrictive covenants described hereto in <u>Exhibit A</u>, with such obligations being in addition to and not in lieu of any other noncompetition or similar obligations to which Participant will be subject.

In the event the Participant breaches the Participant's obligations under <u>Exhibit A</u> or any noncompetition or similar restrictive covenant agreement between the Participant and any of the Company or its Affiliates, Participant's Option and all rights thereunder will terminate effective at the close of business on the date such breach was determined by the Committee to have occurred.

**No Obligation to Exercise Option.** Neither the Participant nor Participant's transferee is or will be obligated by the grant of the Option to exercise it, except as provided in the Plan.

**No Limitation on Rights of the Company.** The grant of the Option does not and will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure, or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

**Tax Disclaimer.** Participant agrees that Participant is responsible for consulting Participant's own tax advisor as to the tax consequences associated with this Option. The tax rules governing options are complex, change frequently and depend on the individual taxpayer's situation. Although the Company may make available general tax information about stock options, Participant agrees that the Company shall not be held liable or responsible for making such information available to Participant or for any tax or financial consequences that Participant may incur in connection with this Option. In addition, options granted at a discount from fair market value may be considered "deferred compensation" subject to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code. The Board has made a good faith determination that the Exercise Price per share of the Option is not less than the fair market value of the Shares underlying this Option on the Date of Grant. It is possible, however, that the Internal Revenue Service could later challenge that determination and assert that the fair market value of the shares underlying this Option was greater on the Date of Grant than the Exercise Price determined by the Board, which could result in immediate income tax upon the vesting of this Option (whether or not exercised) and a 20% tax penalty. The Company gives no assurance that such adverse tax consequences will not occur and specifically assumes no responsibility therefor. By accepting this Option, Participant acknowledges that any tax liability or other adverse tax consequences to you resulting from the grant of the Option will be the responsibility of, and will be borne entirely by, Participant. PARTICIPANT IS THEREFORE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT PARTICIPANT'S OWN TAX ADVISOR BEFORE ACCEPTING THE GRANT OF THIS OPTION.

------

**Plan and Agreement Not a Contract of Employment or Service.** Neither the Plan nor this Agreement is a contract of employment or service, and no terms of the Participant's employment or service will be affected in any way by the Plan, this Agreement or related instruments, except to the extent specifically expressed therein. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement will be construed as conferring any legal rights on the Participant to continue to be employed or remain in service with the Company, nor will it interfere with the Company's or any Subsidiary's right to discharge the Participant or to deal with Participant regardless of the existence of the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.

**Participant to Have No Rights as a Stockholder.** Before the date as of which the Participant is recorded on the books of the Company as the holder of any shares of Common Stock underlying the Option, neither the Participant nor the Participant's spouse, estate or heirs will have any rights as an equity owner with respect to those shares of Common Stock.

**Notice.** Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered personally, sent by certified, registered or express mail, or sent by overnight courier, at the sender's expense. Notice will be deemed given when delivered if delivered by electronic mail, delivered personally or, if mailed, three (3) days after the date of deposit in the United States mail or, if sent by overnight courier, on the regular business day following the date sent. Notice to the Company should be sent to the Company's headquarters, 1901 Gateway Drive, Irving, TX 75038, Attention: CFO, with an email copy (which will not constitute notice) to <u>legal@envela.com</u>. Notice to the Participant should be sent to the address set forth on the signature page below. Either party may change the Person and/or address to whom the other party must give notice under this Section by giving such other party written notice of such change, in accordance with the procedures described above.

**Successors.** This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives, including any entity with which the Company may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred.

**Clawback.** Notwithstanding any provision of the plan or in this Agreement to the contrary and in consideration of receiving this Award, the Option (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt of this Award, or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying this Award or any other amounts or benefits as required by applicable law) shall be forfeited and/or clawed back, as determined by the Board or a Committee, upon the breach by the Participant of the restrictive covenants described in Section 7 of this Agreement, or the breach of any obligations of nondisparagement or confidentiality owed by the Participant to the Company or any of its Affiliates; such Award or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying this Award, and any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit thereto shall also be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment policy that may be adopted and amended from time to time by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which Stock may be traded, or to comport with good corporate governance practices, as such policies may be amended from time to time. Any such policy may subject a Participant's Award and amounts paid or realized with respect to Awards granted hereunder to reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful conduct occur, including an accounting restatement due to the Company's material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations or other events or wrongful conduct specified in any such clawback policy, as may be amended from time to time.

**Governing Law.** To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

**Plan Document Controls.** The rights granted under this Agreement are in all respects subject to the provisions set forth in the Plan to the same extent and with the same effect as if set forth fully in this Agreement. If the terms of this Agreement conflict with the terms of the Plan document, the Plan document will control.

------

**Code Section 409A Compliance.** This Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the Committee determines that any portion of the Option granted under this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and fails to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, the Committee reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace such portion of the Option in order to cause such portion of the Option to either not be subject to Code Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.

**Amendment of the Agreement.** The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the unvested portion of any Option (but not any previously granted vested Options) in whole or in part; *provided that* such alteration, amendment suspension or termination shall not adversely alter or impair rights of the Participant under the Option without the Participant's consent.

**Counterparts; Electronic Signature.** The parties may execute this Agreement in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute but one Agreement. The facsimile, email or other electronically delivered signatures of the parties shall be deemed to constitute original signatures, and facsimile or electronic copies hereof shall be deemed to constitute duplicate originals.

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | <br> "**Confidential Information**" means, with respect to the Company Group, any and all information, whether or not in writing, regarding: past, current and prospective customers, suppliers, service providers, investors, Participants, contractors and the industry not generally known to the public; strategies, methods, books, records and documents; technical information concerning products, equipment, services and processes, including designs and specifications; procurement procedures, pricing and pricing techniques, including contact names, services provided, pricing, type and amount of services used; pricing strategies and price curves; trade secrets; positions; plans or strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; research; financial and sales data; trading methodologies and terms; communications information; evaluations, opinions and interpretations of information and data; marketing and merchandising techniques; electronic databases; models; specifications; computer programs; contracts; bids or proposals; technologies and methods; training methods and processes; organizational structure; personnel information; payments or rates paid to consultants or other service providers; and other such confidential or proprietary information.<br>|
| (a) | Participant recognizes that Participant's employment by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (individually, a "**Company Group Member**" and collectively, the "**Company Group**") is one of the highest trust and confidence because Participant has and will acquire knowledge of, and become fully familiar with, all aspects of the Company's business during the term of this Agreement, including proprietary and confidential information that is special and of critical value to the Company. Participant acknowledges (i) that the Company owns and utilizes certain Confidential Information, (ii) that any Confidential Information existing on the Date of Grant is owned by the Company and (iii) that Participant has no rights, interests or entitlements thereto. Participant acknowledges that hardship, loss or irreparable injury and damage could result to the Company if any Confidential Information were imparted to or became known by any natural person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity (each, a "**Person**") engaging in a business in competition with that of the Company, the measurement of which hardship, loss or irreparable injury would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Participant agrees that it is necessary for the Company to protect its business from such damage, and Participant further agrees that the following covenants constitute a reasonable and appropriate means, consistent with the best interest of both Participant and the Company, to protect the Company against such damage and shall apply to and be binding upon Participant as provided herein.<br>For purposes of this Agreement, "**Confidential Information**" means, with respect to the Company Group, any and all information, whether or not in writing, regarding: past, current and prospective customers, suppliers, service providers, investors, Participants, contractors and the industry not generally known to the public; strategies, methods, books, records and documents; technical information concerning products, equipment, services and processes, including designs and specifications; procurement procedures, pricing and pricing techniques, including contact names, services provided, pricing, type and amount of services used; pricing strategies and price curves; trade secrets; positions; plans or strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; research; financial and sales data; trading methodologies and terms; communications information; evaluations, opinions and interpretations of information and data; marketing and merchandising techniques; electronic databases; models; specifications; computer programs; contracts; bids or proposals; technologies and methods; training methods and processes; organizational structure; personnel information; payments or rates paid to consultants or other service providers; and other such confidential or proprietary information. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Participant agrees and covenants to use Participant's best efforts and exercise utmost diligence to protect and safeguard the Confidential Information. Participant further agrees and covenants that, except as may be required by the Company in connection with this Agreement, or with the prior written consent of the Company, Participant shall not, either during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, directly or indirectly, use for Participant's own benefit or for the benefit of another, or disclose, disseminate or distribute to another, any Confidential Information (whether or not acquired, learned, obtained or developed by Participant alone or in conjunction with others). All memoranda, notes, records, drawings, documents or other writings whatsoever made, compiled, acquired or received by Participant during the term of this Agreement related to Participant's employment or performance hereunder, arising out of, in connection with, or related to any business of the Company, including, but not limited to, Confidential Information, are, and shall continue to be, the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and shall, together with all copies thereof and all advertising literature, be returned and delivered to the Company by Participant immediately, without demand, upon the termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon the Company's demand.

(c) The obligations of Participant regarding Confidential Information shall not apply if (i) it was generally known (including information that is publicly available) in the industries in which the Company engages or may engage prior to disclosure, (ii) such disclosure comes into the public domain (including the industries in which the Company engages or may engage) through no fault of Participant, or (iii) such disclosure is required by law or compelled by court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this <u>Section 1</u> does not prohibit or restrict Participant (or Participant's attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this Agreement or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity ("**Government Agencies**"), or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law or regulation. Participant understands and acknowledges that Participant does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and that Participant is not required to notify the Company that Participant has made such reports or disclosures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is (i) made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is

------

made under seal. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual: (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall preclude the Company from disclosing the existence and/or terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, to the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, under applicable securities laws) or by judicial or administrative process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) For purposes of this <u>Section 1</u>, without prior authorization of the Company, the Company does not authorize Participant to disclose to any third party (including any government official or any attorney Participant may retain) any communications that are covered by the Company's attorney-client privilege.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition</u>.

(a) Participant covenants that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) months following the termination of Participant's employment with the Company under this Agreement (together, the "**Non-Solicitation Period** "), Participant will not, either directly or indirectly, for Participant's self or on behalf of any other Person, solicit for employment, or otherwise encourage the departure of, an individual who was or is employed or engaged by any Company Group Member during the Non-Solicitation Period as an Participant, independent contractor or consultant.

(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant hereby covenants and agrees that, during the Non-Solicitation Period, Participant will not, directly or indirectly, engage in either of the following activities in any county or parish in which the Company or any Company Group Member operates in North America, within a two hundred and fifty (250) mile radius surrounding any operations off the shores of North America, or in any country in which the Company or any Company Group Member has operations as of the Date of Grant or during the Non-Solicitation Period (collectively, the "**Restricted Area**") in the business of brokerage, trade, sale, or refining of precious metals, precious stones, and scrap electronics, and/or any other material business or enterprise of the Company Group that occurs during the Non-Solicitation Period (the "**Business**"):(i)carry on or engage, on such Participant's own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, in the Business; (ii)own, manage, operate, control, be employed by or participate in the management, ownership, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, any business (whether as director, officer, Participant, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise) engaged in a business that is the same as or substantially similar to the Business.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant shall be permitted to acquire as a passive investment less than 1% of the outstanding equity securities of any company engaged in such competitive activities, the equity securities of which are traded on a national securities exchange, but only to the extent such acquisition does not or would not result in any violation of any of Company Group Member's investment-related policies, practices or restrictions applicable to similarly situated executive-level Participants of the Company or applicable federal, state or local law, rules or any regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant has and will acquire knowledge of certain business contacts and information regarding the Company's clients, customers and certain Persons whom the Company has identified as prospective clients and customers. During the Non-Solicitation Period, Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, for Participant's self or on behalf of any other Person, solicit the sale or lease of goods, services or a combination of goods and services that are the same as or substantially similar to those offered or provided by the Company in the Business during the Term and preceding termination of Participant's employment with the Company from (i) any established customer of the Company or (ii) any prospective customer of the Company with which the Company had contact during the Non-Solicitation Period.

(d) If Participant is found to have breached any promise made in this <u>Section 2</u> during the Non-Solicitation Period, the Non-Solicitation Period will be extended by a month for each month in which Participant was in breach so that the Company is provided the benefit of the full six-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Intellectual Property</u>. Participant agrees that all Inventions in the Field (as defined below) shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and Participant hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Company all Inventions in the Field, and agrees, on Participant's behalf and on behalf of Participant's heirs, assigns and representatives, to assign and transfer to the Company or its designee, without any separate remuneration or compensation, Participant's entire right, title and interest in and to all Inventions in the Field, together with all United States and foreign rights with respect thereto, and, at the Company's expense, to execute, acknowledge and deliver all papers and to do any and all other things necessary for or incident to the applying for, obtaining and

------

maintaining of such letters patent, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks or other intellectual property rights or reissues thereof and to perform all lawful acts, including giving testimony, and to execute and deliver all such instruments that may be necessary or proper to vest all such Inventions in the Field and patents, copyrights trademarks, trade names, service marks or other intellectual property rights or reissues thereof with respect thereto in the Company, and to assist the Company in the prosecution or defense of any interference which may be declared involving any of said patent applications, patents, copyright applications, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks or reissues thereof related to any Inventions in the Field. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable efforts and, in any event, after ten (10) business days, to secure Participant's signature on a written assignment to the Company, of any application for letters patent, trademark registration, trade name, service mark or to any common law or statutory copyright or other property right therein, whether because of Participant's physical or mental incapacity, or for any other reason whatsoever, Participant irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of the Company as Participant's attorney-in-fact to act on Participant's behalf to execute and file any such applications and to do all lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution or issuance of such assignments, letters patent, copyright, trademark, trade name or service mark. Participant agrees to fully and promptly disclose to the Company any Inventions in the Field.

For purposes of this Agreement, the "**Inventions in the Field**" shall mean any and all inventions, developments, improvements, applications, techniques, discoveries, innovations, writings, domain names, improvements, trade secrets, methods, designs, drawings, reports, business processes, secret processes, know-how, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos and all other intellectual property, whether or not patentable or constituting a copyright or trademark and whether reduced to practice or not, which Participant has previously or may in the future create, conceive, develop or make, either alone or in conjunction with others (whether on or off the Company's premises or during or after normal working hours) and related or in any way connected with the Company, its strategic plans, products, processes, apparatus or business now or hereafter carried on by the Company together with all patent applications, letters patent, trademark, trade name and service mark applications or registrations, copyrights and reissues thereof that may be granted for or upon any of the foregoing. Participant represents, warrants and covenants on the date hereof that (i) Participant does not have any applications for patents, copyright registrations or other such application or registration related to any Inventions in the Field pending, either domestic or foreign, (ii) Participant's performance of the foregoing disclosure and assignment provisions will not breach any invention assignment or proprietary information agreement with any former employer or other party, and (iii) there is no invention or works or authorship now in Participant's possession which Participant will claim to be excluded herefrom, except as previously disclosed by Participant to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Non-Disparagement</u>. Participant shall not, in any manner, directly or indirectly, make any oral or written statement to any Person that disparages or places any Company Group Member or any of their respective officers, shareholders, members or advisors, any member of the Board, or any agents or others with whom the Company has business relationships, in a false or negative light; provided, however, that Participant shall not be required to make any untruthful statement or to violate any law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Survival</u>. Each covenant of Participant set forth in this <u>Exhibit A</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Participant against the Company whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of said covenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Specific Performance; Invalidity</u>. The Company and Participant agree that it would not be possible to measure in monetary terms the damages which the Company would incur if any Participant breaches Participant's obligations under this <u>Exhibit A</u>. Therefore, if the Company, after a breach by Participant, lawfully institutes any action or proceedings to enforce its rights hereunder, Participant agrees not to assert, and hereby forever waives, the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach of this <u>Exhibit A</u>, Participant further agrees, upon order of a Court (as defined below) and so long as the Company is not in breach of this Agreement, to reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder. If Participant violates any of the covenants set forth in this <u>Exhibit A</u>, prior to a breach by the Company of this Agreement, the Company will suffer irreparable damage and shall be entitled to specific performance, full injunctive relief or such other relief as may be provided at law or in equity together with such damages as may be provided at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Participant can provide Confidential Information to Government Agencies without risk of being held liable for liquidated damages or other financial penalties.

Insofar as the covenants set forth in this <u>Exhibit A</u> are concerned, Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) Participant is receiving a substantial benefit as a result of this Agreement; (ii) the Business is highly competitive and the assets of the Company, including goodwill, customer contacts, potential revenue and customer lists, are valuable, as used by the Company in the Business and that protection against competition is of critical importance to the Company; (iii) the covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Confidential Information and goodwill and the operation and the Business; (iv) the time duration of the covenants and the geographical area limitations of the covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Confidential Information and the goodwill and operation of the Business; (v) the covenants are not oppressive to Participant and do not impose a greater restraint on Participant than is necessary to protect the Confidential Information and the goodwill and operation of the Business; and (vi) Participant has been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to do so.

------

It is the express intention of Participant and the Company to comply with all laws which may be applicable to the covenants in this <u>Exhibit A</u>. Consequently, Participant and the Company hereby specifically agree that, if any Court shall determine any covenant contained in this <u>Exhibit A</u> to be effective in any particular area or jurisdiction only if such covenant is modified to limit its duration or scope, such covenant may be reformed or modified by the judgment or order of such Court to reflect a lawful and enforceable duration or scope. Such covenant automatically shall be deemed to be amended and modified with respect to that particular area or jurisdiction so as to comply with the judgment or order of such Court and, as to all other areas and jurisdictions covered by this Agreement, the terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect as originally written. If any Court shall hold any covenants contained in this <u>Exhibit A</u> to be void or otherwise unenforceable in any particular area or jurisdiction notwithstanding the operation of this provision, such covenant automatically shall be deemed to be amended so as to eliminate therefrom that particular area or jurisdiction as to which such covenant is so held void or otherwise enforceable and, as to all other areas and jurisdictions covered by this Agreement, the terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.

As used herein, "**Court**" means (i) any court established and functioning under the laws of any nation or state, or any political subdivision thereof, including the United States of America and any state of the United States of America and (ii) any arbitrator, arbitration panel or similar body.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Material Inducement</u>. For the purposes of this <u>Section 7</u>, references to the "**Company**" shall include the Company and any Company Group Member. Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant's agreement to be bound by the protective covenants set forth in this <u>Exhibit A</u> was a material inducement for the Company entering into this Agreement and agreeing to pay Participant the compensation set forth herein. Further, Participant understands the foregoing restrictions may limit Participant's ability to engage in certain businesses during the period of time provided for, but acknowledges that Participant will receive sufficient consideration under this Agreement to justify such restriction and Participant represents and warrants that the knowledge, skills and abilities Participant possesses at the Date of Grant are sufficient to permit Participant, in the event of termination of Participant's employment with the Company, to earn a livelihood satisfactory to Participant's self without violating any provision of this <u>Exhibit A</u>. Nothing in this <u>Exhibit A</u> shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which, subject to the terms of this Agreement, are hereby reserved, to discharge Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Legal Counsel</u>. Participant agrees and acknowledges that Participant has read and understands this Agreement, including the provisions of <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto, is entering into it freely and voluntarily, and has been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to do so.

**ENVELA CORPORATION**

**2025 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN**

1. Purpose

The proper execution of the duties and responsibilities of the executives, directors, and key employees of Envela Corp. (the "Corporation") is a vital factor in the continued growth and success of the Corporation. Toward this end, it is necessary to attract and retain effective and capable individuals to assume positions and provide services that contribute materially to the successful operation of the business of the Corporation. It will benefit the Corporation, therefore, to bind the interests of these persons more closely to its own interests by offering them an attractive opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation and thereby provide them with added incentive to remain in the service of the Corporation and to increase the prosperity, growth, and earnings of the Corporation. This equity incentive plan is intended to serve these purposes.

4. Administration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) <u>Procedure</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) <u>Administration With Respect to Directors and Officers</u>.

Once appointed, such Committee will continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without Cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan.

If permitted by Rule 16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to directors, non-director officers and Employees who are neither directors nor officers.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii) <u>Administration With Respect to Other Employees</u>. With respect to grants of Options to Employees who are neither directors nor officers of the Corporation, the Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which committee must be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the legal requirements relating to the administration of incentive stock option plans, if any, of the Nevada corporate and securities laws and of the Code (the "Applicable Laws"). Once appointed, such Committee will continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without Cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) <u>Powers of the Board</u>. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board (or the Committee) will have the authority, in its discretion: (i) to grant Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options; (ii) to determine, upon review of relevant information, the fair market value of the Common Stock in each class; (iii) to determine the exercise price per Share of Options to be granted, which exercise price must be determined in accordance with Section 7(b) of the Plan; (iv) to determine the regular, full-time Employees and non-employee directors to whom, and the time or times at which, Options will be granted and the number of Shares to be represented by each Option; (v) to interpret the Plan; (vi) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (vii) to determine the rules and provisions of each Option granted (which need not be identical) and, with the consent of the holder thereof, modify or amend each Option; (viii) to accelerate or defer (with the consent of the Option Holder) the exercise date of any Option, consistent with the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan; (ix) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Corporation any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted by the Board or Committee; and (x) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) <u>Effect of Board's Decision</u>. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Board (or the Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan) will be final and binding on all Optionees, and Option Holders of any Options under the Plan.

5. Participation in the Plan

Participation in the Plan will be limited to those Employees who are both (i) designated for payroll purposes as full-time, permanent employees of the Corporation and any Parent or Subsidiary and (ii) designated by the Committee and approved by the Board of Directors to participate in the Plan. The Plan will not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuation of Employment, nor will it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Corporation's right to terminate his or her employment at any time, with or without Cause.

6. Stock Subject to the Plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to Section 9 of the Plan, there will be reserved for the granting of Options pursuant to the Plan and for issuance and sale pursuant to such Options 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan. To determine the number of Shares of either the voting or nonvoting class of Common Stock that is available at any time for the granting of Options, there will be deducted from the total number of reserved shares of that class of Common Stock, the number of shares of that class of Common Stock in respect of which Options have been granted pursuant to the Plan that are still outstanding or have been exercised. Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option under the Plan that, after the effective date of the Plan, are forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of Shares to an Optionee will thereafter be deemed to be available for grant with respect to shares of Common Stock. In applying the immediately preceding sentence, if (i) Shares otherwise issuable or issued in respect of, or as part of, an Option are withheld to cover taxes or any applicable exercise price, such Shares shall be treated as having been issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) any Options are exercised, the aggregate number of Shares subject to such Options shall be deemed issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. In addition, Shares (x) tendered to exercise outstanding Options, or (y) withheld to cover applicable taxes on any Options shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. The shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan will be made available from the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or reacquired Common Stock. If for any reason shares of Common Stock as to which an Option has been granted cease to be subject to purchase thereunder, then such shares of Common Stock again will (unless the Plan has been terminated) be available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Options pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Shares issued under the Plan and later repurchased by the Corporation will not become available for future grant or sale under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Proceeds from the purchase of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Options granted pursuant to the Plan will be used for the general business purposes of the Corporation.

7. Terms and Conditions of Options

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Options granted hereunder may be either Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options and may be for the purchase of either voting or non-voting Common Stock, all as determined by the Board of Directors or Committee at its discretion and as designated in the terms of the Option Agreement. However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any

------

Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Corporation) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of the prior sentence, Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the fair market value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be such price as is determined by the Board of Directors or Committee at the time of the grant; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price of an Option be less than the greater of (i) ten dollars ($10.00) per Share, (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant or (iii) one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder of the Corporation (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)).

For purposes of this Section 7(b), if an Option is amended to reduce the exercise price, the date of grant of such Option will thereafter be considered to be the date of such amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Option, subject to the other limitations set forth in the Plan, may extend for a period of up to but not exceeding 10 years from the date on which it is granted. The term of each Option will be determined by the Board of Directors or Committee at the time of grant of the Option and specified in the Option Agreement, provided that if no term is specified by the Board or Committee the term of the Option will be the maximum term permitted under this Section, measured from the date on which it is granted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary, (a) if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the term of the Option will be five years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Incentive Stock Option Agreement, or (b) if the Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the term of the Option will be five years and one day from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Board of Directors or Committee may provide in the Option Agreement that the right to exercise each Option for the number of shares subject to each Option will vest in the Optionee over such period of time as the Board or Committee, in its discretion, determines for each Optionee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon voluntary or involuntary termination of an Optionee's active Employment for any reason (including disability), the Optionee's Option and all rights thereunder will terminate effective at the close of business on the date the Optionee ceases to be an active, regular employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, except (1) to the extent previously exercised and (2) as provided in Sections 7(f) and (g) of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If an Optionee takes a leave of absence from the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary for personal reasons or as a result of entry into the armed forces of the United States or any of the departments or agencies of the United States government, the Committee may consider the Optionee's case and may take such action in respect of the related Option Agreement as it may deem appropriate under the circumstances in its absolute discretion, including accelerating the time previously granted Options may be exercised and extending the time following the Optionee's termination of Employment during which the Option Holder is entitled to purchase the shares of Common Stock subject to such Options, provided that in no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the term of the Option or more than ninety days after the Optionee's termination of Employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If an Optionee's Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee's total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option Holder may exercise his/her Option within no more than the twelve-month period beginning on the date of his/her termination of Employment (to the extent the Option Holder was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of the Optionee's termination of Employment and provided that in no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the term of the Option), after which the Option will lapse.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) If an Optionee dies during the term of his/her Option without the Option having been fully exercised, the Option will lapse, and the executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate or the person who inherits the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance will not have any right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that the deceased Optionee was entitled to purchase at the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) The granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan will not constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, on the part of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to retain or employ the Optionee for any specified period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (j) Except as provided in Section 9, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, the terms of outstanding Options may not be amended to (i) reduce the exercise price of an outstanding Option, (ii) grant a new Option in substitution for, or upon the cancellation of, any previously granted Option that has the effect of reducing the exercise price thereof, (iii) exchange any Option for Stock, cash or other consideration when the exercise price per share of Common Stock under such Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock or (iv) take any other action that would be considered a "repricing" of an Option under the applicable listing standards of the national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed (if any).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) In addition to the general terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 in respect of Options granted pursuant to the Plan, Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan will be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "Incentive Stock Options" will be granted only to individuals who, at the date of grant of the Option, are regular, full-time Employees of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) No Employee who owns beneficially more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation will be eligible to be granted an "Incentive Stock Option," unless the exercise price per Share is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date of grant of the Option and the Option, by its terms, is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the Option is granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock in respect of which an Option is exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (and taking into account all "incentive stock option" plans of the Corporation and its subsidiaries) exceeds $100,000, that number of whole shares for which an Option issued hereunder is exercisable with an aggregate fair market value in excess of this $100,000 limit will not be treated as having been granted under an "incentive stock option"; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other terms and conditions specified by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the Plan, except that such terms and conditions must be consistent with the requirements for "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code.

8. Methods of Exercising Options

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) An Optionee (or other Option Holder, if any, entitled to exercise an Option hereunder) desiring to exercise an Option granted pursuant to the Plan as to all or part of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option must (i) notify the Corporation in writing at its principal office to that effect, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and the method of payment therefor, and (ii) make payment or provision for payment for the shares of Common Stock so purchased in accordance with this Section 8. Such written notice may be given by means of a facsimile transmission. If a facsimile transmission is used, the Option Holder should mail the original executed copy of the written notice to the Corporation promptly thereafter. An Option may not be exercised for as fraction of a share of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, will be determined by the Board of Directors, as permitted under the laws of the State of Nevada, and may include payment in whole or in part (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Board of Directors (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Optionee which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Board of Directors and permitted by applicable Nevada law, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. In determining which methods a Participant may utilize to pay the exercise price, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it determines are appropriate; *provided*, *however*, that with respect to Incentive Stock Options, all such discretionary determinations shall be made by the Board of Directors at the time of grant and specified in an applicable Option Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) An Option will be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Option by the Option Holder and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Corporation. Full payment may, as authorized by the Board of Directors, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Corporation or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote (in the case of voting stock) or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the optioned Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Corporation will issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. If the exercise of an Option is treated in part as the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the Corporation will issue a separate stock certificate evidencing the Shares of each class treated as acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and a separate stock certificate evidencing the Shares of each class treated as acquired upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, and will identify each such certificate accordingly in its stock transfer records. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 9 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) An Option Holder at any time may elect in writing to abandon an Option in respect of all or part of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Option will not have been exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Exercise of an Option in any manner will result in a decrease in the number of Shares that thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

9. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger

Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Corporation, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Corporation will not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment must be made by the Board of Directors, whose determination in that respect will be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Corporation of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, will affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof may be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

In the event of the proposed dissolution, liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Board must notify the Optionee or other Option Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. In the event of the merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, the Option will be assumed or an equivalent option will be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless such successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, in which case the Board will, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Option Holder to have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the optioned Shares, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Board makes an Option fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board must notify the Optionee or other Option Holder that the Option will be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

10. Time of Granting Options

The date of grant of an Option will, for all purposes, be the date on which the Board of Directors or Committee makes the determination granting such Option. Notice of the determination will be given to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

11. Amendments and Discontinuance of the Plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Board of Directors has the right at any time and from time to time to amend, modify, or discontinue the Plan in such respects as the Board may deem advisable; provided that, unless approved by the Corporation 's shareholders in accordance with Section 16, no such amendment, modification, or discontinuance of the Plan may (i) revoke or alter the terms of any valid Option previously granted pursuant to the Plan, (ii) increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be reserved for issuance and sale pursuant to Options granted pursuant to the Plan, (iii) change the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of Options granted pursuant to the Plan to any single individual, (iv) decrease the price determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(b), (v) change the class of persons to whom Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan, (vi) provide for Options exercisable more than 10 years after the date granted, (vii) if the Corporation has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act at the time of such revision or amendment, any material increase in the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) <u>Shareholder Approval</u>. If any amendment requiring shareholder approval under Section 16(a) of the Plan is made at a time when any class of equity securities by the Corporation is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such shareholder approval must be solicited as described in Section 16 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) <u>Effect of Amendment or Termination</u>. Any such amendment or termination of the Plan will not affect Options already granted, and such Options will remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee or other Option Holder and the Board of Directors, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Option Holder and the Corporation.

12. Plan Subject to Governmental Laws and Regulations

The Plan and the grant and exercise of Options pursuant to the Plan are subject to all applicable governmental laws and regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board of Directors may in its sole and absolute discretion make such changes in the Plan as may be required to conform the Plan to such laws and regulations. Shares may not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto complies with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules

------

and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Corporation with respect to such compliance.

As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Corporation may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

13. Reservation of Shares

The Corporation, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as are sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

The inability of the Corporation to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Corporation's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Corporation of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.

14. Minimum Vesting Requirements

Except in the case of Options substituted pursuant to Section 9 and subject to the following sentence, Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one (1) year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant Options covering five percent (5%) or fewer of the total number of Shares authorized under the Plan without respect to the above-described minimum vesting requirement.

15. Option Agreements

Options will be evidenced by written agreement in such form as the Committee determines from time to time.

16. Shareholder Approval

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Continuance of the Plan is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Corporation within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The required approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be solicited substantially in accordance with Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

17. Term of Plan

The Plan will become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the shareholders of the Corporation as described in Section 16 of the Plan. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 11 of the Plan.

18. Code Section 409A

The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan comply with Code Section 409A (or an available exemption therefrom) to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered to be in accordance therewith. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Nothing contained in the Plan or an Option Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect with respect to an Option. The Corporation does not guarantee that any Options provided under the Plan will satisfy the provisions of Code Section 409A, and in no event will the Corporation be liable for any or all portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by an Optionee on account of any non-compliance with Code Section 409A.

19. Withholding Taxes

Each Optionee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Option first becomes includible in the gross income of such Optionee for federal, state and/or local income tax purposes, pay to the Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Board of Directors regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to the Option. The obligations of the Corporation under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Optionee. Whenever Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an Option, the Corporation shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the Corporation in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related federal, state and

------

local taxes, domestic or foreign, to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. With the approval of the Board of Directors, an Optionee may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Corporation withhold from delivery of Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or other greater amount not exceeding the maximum statutory rate required to be collected on the transaction under applicable law, as applicable to the Optionee, if such other greater amount would not, as determined by the Board of Directors, result in adverse financial accounting treatment (including in connection with the effectiveness of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-09). Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an Option. The Corporation may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Option (including by a "net exercise" or broker assisted "cashless" exercise procedure approved by the Board of Directors).

20. Severability

If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

21. Choice of Law

This Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State.

22. Headings

The headings in this Plan and any Option Agreements are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning thereof.

23. Forfeitures

The Board may specify in an Option Agreement that the Participant's rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Option shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain events, in addition to the applicable vesting conditions of the Option. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in an Option Agreement or that are otherwise applicable to the Optionee, a termination of the Optionee's Employment for Cause, or other conduct by the Optionee that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates.

24. Limitations on Participation

Participation in this Plan shall be limited exclusively to those individuals who are designated as eligible participants under Section 5 of this Plan. No person shall have any rights or be entitled to any benefits under this Plan except as expressly provided herein. Eligibility to participate is limited to employees of the Corporation or its Affiliates who are designated by the Committee and approved by the Board, and no other individual or entity shall be deemed a participant or have any claim under the Plan. The mere act of being eligible shall not entitle any person to be selected to receive an Option grant, and participation in one year shall not guarantee participation in any future year.

25. Plan Document Controls

The Plan and each Option Agreement together constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and such Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.

**Re:** ***Registration Statement on Form S-8***

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Nevada counsel to Envela Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "*Company*"), for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter in connection with the Company's filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the "*Registration Statement*"), with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "*Commission*") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "*Act*"), covering the registration of 1,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "*Shares*"), which may be issued pursuant to the Company's 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "*Plan*").

This letter is being issued in accordance with the requirements of Part II, Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the Commission.

In the capacity stated above, we have examined and relied on copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, as furnished to us by the Company; (ii) an Officer's Certificate, dated August 13, 2025 (the "*Officer's Certificate*"), executed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the *"CFO"*); (iii) a Certificate of Existence with Status in Good Standing, dated August 11, 2025, issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada with respect to the Company; (iv) the articles of incorporation of the Company, certified by the CFO in the Officer's Certificate (the "*Articles*"); (v) the bylaws of the Company, certified by the CFO in the Officer's Certificate (together with the Articles, the "*Organizational Documents*"); and (vi) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company adopting the Plan and reserving the Shares for issuance under the Plan, certified by the CFO in the Officer's Certificate.

In addition, we have reviewed and relied upon statutes, published rules and regulations of State of Nevada governmental authorities, published judicial decisions of courts located in the State of Nevada interpreting or applying the same, other official interpretations, other records of the Company and other documents and records as we deemed relevant or appropriate for the purpose of issuing this letter. Also, without independent verification or investigation, we have relied on the accuracy and completeness of factual statements and factual matters contained in the documents and records we reviewed.

We have assumed (i) conformity to the executed originals of all documents submitted to us as copies or as unexecuted forms of such originals; (ii) the genuineness of all signatures; (iii) the legal capacity of natural persons executing all relevant documents; (iv) the accuracy and completeness of all records reviewed by us; (v) the veracity as of the date of this letter of all certificates, records and other documents or instruments furnished to us even if they were issued on an earlier date (without our independent verification of the statements made therein or investigation of the basis for the representations contained therein); (vi) the Shares currently reserved for issuance under the Plan will remain reserved until issuance; (vii) neither the Organizational Documents nor any proceedings relating to the Plan or any option agreements relating to the Shares will be rescinded or modified prior to issuance of the Shares; (vii) before any issuance of the Shares, the Registration Statement will have become effective under the Act; and (viii) no changes in applicable law between the date of this letter and the date of the events that are the subject of this letter.

Based on our review and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that if, as and when the Shares are issued and sold by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the stock option agreements provided for under the Plan, including authorization of grants of awards as provided in the Plan, payment in full of the consideration therefor and shareholder approval of the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We are licensed to practice law in the State of Nevada and the opinion set forth herein is expressly limited to the corporation laws of the State of Nevada governing matters pertaining to the authorization and issuance of the Shares, the applicable provisions of the Constitution of the State of Nevada, and published decisions of Nevada courts interpreting the foregoing. No opinion is given or implied regarding any other laws.

------

Our opinion is based solely on the law and facts as they exist on the date hereof. We undertake no obligation, and we disclaim any obligation, to advise you of any changes that may hereafter occur or be brought to our attention and that might affect our opinion or any other matter set forth herein.

We consent to the filing of this letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

This letter is issued in the State of Nevada and by issuing this letter, we shall not be deemed transacting business in any other state. Furthermore, we do not consent to the jurisdiction of any state or local governmental authority other than the State of Nevada.

Sincerely,

*/s/ Saltzman Mugan Dushoff*
