***Acquisition of NTS***

 ****

On January 2, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc., a New York corporation ("NTS"), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Acquisition Agreement"), dated August 11, 2024, by and among the Company, PALT Merger Sub 1, Inc., a New York corporation and a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("First Merger Sub"), PALT Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Second Merger Sub"), NTS and NewtekOne, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the sole stockholder of NTS ("Newtek"). Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date: (i) NTS merged with and into First Merger Sub, with NTS continuing as the surviving entity (the "Interim Surviving Entity" and such merger, the "First Step Merger"), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Step Merger, the Interim Surviving Entity merged with and into Second Merger Sub (the "Second Step Merger" and, together with the First Step Merger, the "Acquisition"), with the Second Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the closing of the Acquisition (the "Acquisition Closing"), the Company changed its name from "Paltalk, Inc." to "Intelligent Protection Management Corp."

The aggregate consideration delivered by the Company to Newtek at the Acquisition Closing consisted of (i) $4,000,000 in cash (as adjusted pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the "Acquisition Closing Cash Consideration") and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Series A Non-Voting Common Equivalent Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock" and such shares issued at the Acquisition Closing, the "Acquisition Closing Stock Consideration" and together with the Acquisition Closing Cash Consideration, the "Acquisition Closing Consideration").

***Divestiture***

 ****

On the Closing Date and prior to the Acquisition Closing, the Company completed the sale to Meteor Mobile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Meteor Mobile"), of its telecommunications services provider, "Vumber", as well as its "Paltalk" and "Camfrog" applications and certain assets and liabilities related to such services provider and applications (the "Transferred Assets," and such sale, the "Divestiture," and, together with the Acquisition, the "Transactions") pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 7, 2024, by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries Paltalk Holdings, Inc., Paltalk Software, Inc., Camshare, Inc., A.V.M. Software, Inc. and Vumber, LLC (collectively, the "Sellers"), and Meteor Mobile. As a result of the Divestiture, the Company is no longer engaged in the business of providing video-based, live streaming, virtual camera and telecommunications software to consumers, as and to the extent such businesses were previously conducted by the Company pursuant to the "Vumber," "Paltalk" and "Camfrog" applications. In addition, prior to the Acquisition Closing, the Company ceased all operations of its "Tinychat" service and application. The consideration delivered by Meteor Mobile to the Company at the closing of the Divestiture consisted of (i) $1,350,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Sellers arising out of, or relating to, the Business or the Transferred Assets, other than certain excluded liabilities (the "Divestiture Closing Consideration"). In connection with the Divestiture, the Company is entitled to earn-out payments under certain circumstances. For more information, see the Note 6, "*Discontinued Operations*" below.

***Discontinued Operations***

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Transferred Assets met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and discontinued operations as the Company received stockholder approval of the sale of its Transferred Assets at its special meeting of stockholders held on December 30, 2024. As such, assets and liabilities related to the Transferred Assets are presented as held for sale/discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the results of operations are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the Divestiture as described above.

***Employee Retention Tax Credit***

Under the provisions of the extension of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention tax credit (the "ERTC") subject to certain criteria. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company applied for the ERTC and recorded a receivable in the amount of $343,045, net of related costs. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining balance due to the Company was $114,212, which was included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a receivable.

***Basis of Presentation***

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial information. The Company has not included certain information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements pursuant to those rules and regulations, although it believes that the disclosure included herein is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2025 (the "Form 10-K").

**INTELLIGENT PROTECTION MANAGEMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information contains all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company's historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2025, or for any other period.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no significant changes made to the Company's significant accounting policies.

For a detailed discussion about the Company's significant accounting policies, see the Form 10-K.

***Recently Issued Accounting Standards***

 ****

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our annual income tax disclosures. We expect the standard will expand the disclosures provided in our annual financial statements, particularly in the rate reconciliation and cash taxes paid sections, but do not anticipate that adoption will have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We plan to adopt ASU 2023-09 for the annual period ending December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. The new standard requires entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses included in commonly presented expense captions on the income statement. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.* The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Companies have the option to apply this guidance either on a retrospective or prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

***Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash***

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds. The Company maintains a certificate of deposit to satisfy the depository requirement in the Loan Agreements (as defined and discussed in Note 13). The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As part of its cash management process, the Company periodically reviews the relative credit standing of these banks. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

***Accounts Receivable, net of allowance***

Accounts receivable represents amounts owed to the Company by third parties for technology services and related residuals. The Company generally records a receivable when revenue is recognized as the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment from customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. The Company's accounts receivables do not bear interest and are recorded at the invoiced amount for those with unconditional rights to consideration. Account receivables are presented net of an allowance for credit loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for any potentially uncollectible accounts under the current expected credit loss model.

 ****

***Segment Reporting***

The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") reviews and assesses performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer have joint responsibility as the CODM and review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole.

The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODM uses net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company's ongoing operations and as part of the Company's internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on net income (loss) and operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODM on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements. The Company is a single-segment business.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements include impairments and fair value estimates for assets acquired in business combinations and assessment of useful lives of acquired intangible assets. The Acquisition related fair values and estimates were based on a number of factors, including a valuation by an independent third party. The Company also uses a Black Scholes model for estimates in calculating share-based compensation.

Revisions to the Company's estimates may result in increases or decreases to revenues and income and are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified. If the Company's estimates indicate that a contract loss will be incurred, a loss provision is recorded in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. Contract losses are the amount by which the estimated costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated by the contract and are included in cost of revenues in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no contract losses for the periods presented.

***Business Combinations***

 ****

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards and Codifications ("ASC") Topic 805, *Business Combinations*. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby the consideration transferred is allocated to the net assets acquired based on their respective fair values measured on the acquisition date. The difference between the fair value of these assets and the purchase price is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, and other direct costs of a business combination are not considered part of the business acquisition transaction and are expensed as incurred.

***Revenue Recognition***

Following the Transactions, the Company's revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company's contracts with its customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. When a cloud-based service includes both on-premises software licenses and cloud services, judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the cloud service and recognized over time. Certain cloud services depend on a significant level of integration, interdependency, and interrelation between the desktop applications and cloud services, and are accounted for together as one performance obligation. Revenue from cloud services is recognized ratably over the period in which the cloud services are provided. The Company otherwise recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service or by arranging for the sale of a vendor's products or service to a customer.

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of services as they perform the underlying services, typically based on time and materials basis based upon hours incurred for the performance completed to date for which the Company has the right to consideration. The Company recognizes revenue on sales of goods at a point in time when customer takes control of goods, which typically occurs when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. In most cases, the Company serves as principal; therefore it recognizes revenue on a gross basis for each of the Company's services and product offerings principally because the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide specified goods or service, and the Company has discretion in establishing the price of specified good or service. When the Company serves as an agent, it recognizes revenue on a net basis.

The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or a contract asset (unbilled receivable). A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (*i.e.*, only the passage of time is required before payment is due). For example, the Company recognizes a receivable for revenue related to the Company's transaction or volume-based contracts when earned regardless of whether amounts have been billed. Such receivables are presented in accounts receivable, net in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables, judgment, and other applicable factors.

**INTELLIGENT PROTECTION MANAGEMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets are presented in "current and other assets" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed-price contracts utilizing the output method of revenue recognition. The Company's contract assets and liabilities are reported at the end of each reporting period. The difference between the opening and closing balances of the contract assets and deferred revenue primarily results from the timing difference between performance obligations and the customer's payment. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in their contracts, which may vary generally by contract type.

The Company's contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

The Company sells hardware and software products on both a stand-alone basis without any services and as a solution bundled with services. When the Company provides a combination of hardware and software products with the provision of services, the Company separately identifies its performance obligations under the contract and the hardware and/or software products or services that will be provided. The total transaction price for an arrangement with multiple performance obligations is allocated at contract inception to each performance obligation in proportion to the stand-alone selling price of the hardware or software. The selling price is the price at which the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The Company estimates the price based on observable inputs, including direct labor hours and allocatable costs, or uses observable stand-alone prices when they are available. The Company's professional services include the design and implementation of a wide range of IT products and services. Such services are typically provided by us or third-party subcontractor vendors on a stand-alone basis.

*Subscription Revenue*

The Company also generates subscription revenue from monthly premium subscription services from sales of its ManyCam software. Subscription revenues are presented net of refunds, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, subscriptions were offered in durations of twelve-month and twenty four-month terms. All subscription fees, however, are paid by credit card at the origination of the subscription regardless of the term of the subscription. Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period where the service is offered to the customer, indicated by length of the subscription term purchased. The unearned portion of subscription revenue is presented as "deferred revenue" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

***Intangible Assets***

 ****

Intangible assets include intellectual property either owned by the Company or to which the Company has a license. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods deemed appropriate for the type of intangible asset acquired. The Company's intangible assets include patents, internally developed software, intellectual property (trade names, trademarks and URLs) and subscriber relationships/customer lists.

**INTELLIGENT PROTECTION MANAGEMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

The Company's intangible assets represent definite lived intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Patents | 20 years |
| Trade names, trademarks, product names, URLs | 5-10 years |
| Internally developed software | 5-7 years |
| Non-compete agreements | 3 years |
| Subscriber/customer relationships | 3-12 years |
| Order Backlog | 1 year |

---

The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. No impairments were recorded on intangible assets as no impairment indicators were noted for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

***Goodwill***

 ****

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, *Intangibles - Goodwill and Other*, by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test, if, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances such as those described in paragraph ASC 350-20-35-3C(a) through (g), the Company determines that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the reporting unit's fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill related to the reporting unit.

The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if there are indicators that the fair value of the goodwill exceeds its carrying amount. The Company has one reporting unit.

***Leases***

 ****

The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, noncurrent in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date (or acquisition date) based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date and subsequent lease commencement dates in determining the present value of lease payments. This is the rate the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term to each lease. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments made under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

***Property and equipment***

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of those assets, as follows:

Computers and equipment 5 years <br> Website development 3 years <br> Furniture and fixtures 7 years

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Property and equipment is evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets might not be recoverable. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flow expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized. No impairment losses were recorded on property and equipment for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

***Fair Value Measurements***

Fair value measurements affect the Company's accounting for certain of its financial assets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured according to a hierarchy that includes:

Level 1: Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 2: | Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted market prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. This category includes U.S. government agency-backed debt securities and corporate-debt securities. |

---

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recognized a non-current liability of $704,000 for the Earn-Out (as defined below). The Earn-Out Liability (as defined below) is classified as a Level 3 measurement for which fair value is derived from inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The fair value of the Earn-Out Liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes key assumptions including forecasted revenues and volatilities of the underlying financial metrics during the Earn-Out period. The Company assesses the fair value of the Earn-Out Liability at each reporting period. Any subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the liability are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses until the liability is settled.

*Concentration of Credit*

 

As of June 30, 2025, two of the Company's customers had accounts receivable balances more than 10% of the total accounts receivable balance. The two customers represented 28% and 42%, of the June 30, 2025 total accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Newtek, a related party, and its affiliates represented 33% and 33% of total revenue.

**3. Acquisition**

On the Closing Date, the Company acquired NTS through a two-step merger process. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of NTS. The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations*.

The aggregate purchase price delivered by the Company to Newtek was $12,904,000, which consisted of (i) $4,000,000 in cash and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which had a fair value of $8,200,000 on the Closing Date. Newtek is also entitled to earnout payments under certain circumstances of up to $5,000,000 (the "Earn-Out" or "Earn-Out Liability") based on the Company's achievement of certain cumulative average adjusted EBITDA thresholds for the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years, which had a fair value of $704,000 on the Closing Date. The Company financed the cash portion of the purchase price using existing cash on-hand.

The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments), upon the occurrence of certain qualifying transfers by Newtek to third parties. The Earn-Out may be paid, in the Company's sole discretion, in cash, in shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration") or in a combination thereof. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, to the extent that all or a portion of the Acquisition Earn-Out Amount is paid in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued to Newtek will be calculated based on the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the Company's common stock during each trading day during a 60 calendar-day period ending on December 31, 2026; provided, that in no event shall such price be less than $1.00.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, if the issuance of the Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration would cause Newtek's "total equity" (as calculated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), and as implemented and interpreted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) in the Company to exceed one-third of the Company's total equity (the "Total Equity Cap"), then the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable as Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration will be adjusted so that the Company will issue to Newtek the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would not cause Newtek's total equity to exceed the Total Equity Cap, with a corresponding increase to the Acquisition Earn-Out Amount paid in cash.

The Company recorded a non-current liability of $704,000 for the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the expected Earn-Out. The Earn-Out Liability is classified as a Level 3 measurement for which fair value is derived from inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The fair value of such Earn-Out Liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes key assumptions including forecasted average EBITDA and volatilities of the underlying financial metrics during the Earn-Out periods.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the Closing Date. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using various income approaches and methods, such as the multi-period excess earnings method, relief from royalty method, etc., which require the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The results of NTS have been included in the Company's single-segment business.

The fair value of all the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities summarized below are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the acquisition measurement period. The purchase price allocation as of the Closing Date was as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Assets acquired:** | |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accounts receivable | $3535343 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 129233 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property and equipment, net | 738046 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating lease right-of-use asset | 212452 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible assets | 7910000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other assets | 998228 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total assets acquired | 13523302 |
| **Liabilities assumed:** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accounts payable | 46692 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | 370059 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating lease liabilities | 212452 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred revenue | 3450000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred tax liability | 2056600 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total liabilities assumed | 6135803 |
| Total identifiable net assets acquired | 7387499 |
| Total purchase price | 12904000 |
| **Goodwill** | $5516501 |

---

The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $5,516,501, which will be deductible for income tax purposes. The resulting amount of goodwill is attributed to expected synergies from cross-sale opportunities and future growth. Intangible assets of $7,910,000 include customer relationships of $5,275,000, order backlog of $438,000, and trademarks and trade names of $2,197,000, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis, over weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, 1 year, and 8 years, respectively.

After the closing of the Acquisition, and in the normal course of business, certain amounts were due to the Company by Newtek and its affiliates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, sales to Newtek and its affiliates totaled $1,907,574 and $3,702,527 respectively. Included in accounts receivable at June 30, 2025 was $28,145 due from Newtek and its affiliates.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a referral arrangement with Newtek pursuant to which Newtek will refer potential clients to the Company for a fee. The referral arrangement with Newtek is terminable by either the Company or Newtek at any time. The Company paid Newtek and its affiliates $79,521 and $155,704 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, in connection with these agreements.

**6. Discontinued Operations**

On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the Divestiture. The consideration delivered by Meteor Mobile to the Company at the closing of the Divestiture consisted of (i) $1,350,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Sellers arising out of, or relating to, the Business or the Transferred Assets, other than certain excluded liabilities. In addition to the Divestiture Closing Consideration, the Company is entitled to receive, with respect to each Earn-Out Period, as defined and described below, certain payments in cash based on the cash revenue, net of any refunds, received by Meteor Mobile that is attributable to the Business (such cash revenue, the "Legacy Business Revenue"), as follows:

● from the six-month period beginning on July 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2025 ("Earn-Out Period 1"), an amount equal to (i) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $3,500,000 and less than $4,250,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $4,250,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue in excess of $4,250,000 multiplied by 0.40; and

● from each of the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2026 ("Earn-Out Period 2"), the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2027 and ending on December 31, 2027 ("Earn-Out Period 3"), and the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2028 and ending on December 31, 2028 ("Earn-Out Period 4" and collectively with Earn-Out Period 1, Earn-Out Period 2 and Earn-Out Period 3, the "Earn-Out Periods"), an amount equal to (i) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $7,000,000 and less than $8,500,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $8,500,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue in excess of $8,500,000 multiplied by 0.40 (the aggregate amount, if any, earned during the Earn-Out Periods, the "Divestiture Earn-Out Amount").

In the event of a change of control (as defined in the Divestiture Agreement) of Meteor Mobile during any of the Earn-Out Periods, the Company is entitled to receive an acceleration payment in cash, net of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts previously paid to us (the "Acceleration Payment"). If any of the Transferred Assets are sold independently from the other assets of Meteor Mobile, the Company will be entitled to (i) 50% of the aggregate consideration paid to Meteor Mobile for the Transferred Assets minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers by the date of the change of control, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date. If any of the Transferred Assets are sold contemporaneously with other assets of Meteor Mobile, the Company is entitled to (x) the aggregate consideration paid to Meteor Mobile for the Transferred Assets multiplied by the ratio of the trailing 12-month EBITDA of the Transferred Assets sold and the EBITDA of all assets sold minus (y) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers by the date of the change of control, minus (z) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date. The minimum Acceleration Payment for the sale of "Paltalk," "Camfrog" and "Vumber" is $1,650,000, $450,000 and $300,000, respectively, and the Acceleration Payments payable to the Company are capped at $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

As discussed above, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Transferred Assets met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and discontinued operations as the Company received stockholder approval of the sale of its Transferred Assets at its special meeting of stockholders held on December 30, 2024. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities related to the Transferred Assets are presented as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no remaining assets and liabilities related to the Divestiture as of June 30, 2025 and no results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The $3.8 million impairment loss associated with the Divestiture was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In the normal course of business, certain amounts were due to Meteor Mobile by the Company. These amounts are included in "other accrued liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025 in the amount of $371,852.

**8. Income Taxes** 

The Company's provision for income taxes consists of federal, foreign, and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company's year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $72,007, and an income tax benefit of $1,988,058, respectively which included a discrete tax benefit of $1,665,189 recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2025 which primarily related to a partial reversal of its valuation allowance as the Acquisition created a source of future taxable income allowing for the recognition of certain deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 89.2% which differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily related to a reduction in the Company's valuation allowance. The Company continues to conclude that its U.S. deferred tax assets are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis and maintains a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $66,208 and income tax provision of $532,502, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was (70.0)%, which differs from the statutory rate of 21% as a result in the changes in the U.S. valuation allowance and a mix of earnings between the United States and Canada. The Company concluded that its U.S. deferred tax assets are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis and maintains a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets.

**9. Stockholders' Equity**

***Intelligent Protection Management Corp. 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan***

On May 8, 2025, at the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved the Intelligent Protection Management Corp. 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2025 LTIP"). As a result, the 2025 LTIP became effective on May 8, 2025. Concurrently with the adoption of the 2025 LTIP, the 2016 Plan (defined below) was terminated as to future awards. The 2025 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and which may be paid in cash, shares of common stock, other consideration, or any combination thereof. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2025 Plan is 1,200,000 shares, plus any Prior Plan Awards (as defined in the 2025 LTIP).

**(Unaudited)**

The Intelligent Protection Management Corp. Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan") was terminated as to future awards on May 16, 2016. As of June 30, 2025, a total of 22,480 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued pursuant to outstanding options awarded under the 2011 Plan; however, no additional awards may be granted under such plan. The Intelligent Protection Management Corp. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") was terminated as to future awards on May 8, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, a total of 643,609 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued pursuant to outstanding options awarded under the 2016 Plan; however, no additional awards may be granted under such plan.

 

*Stock Options*

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Expected volatility | 124 – 146 | 124 – 146% |
| Expected life of option (in years) | 5.1 – 6.2 | 5.1 – 6.2 |
| Risk free interest rate |  | 4.4% |
| Expected dividend yield |  | 0.0% |

---

The expected life of the options is the period of time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise. The expected life of options has been determined using the "simplified" method as prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, which uses the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The volatility of the Company's common stock is calculated using the Company's historical volatilities beginning at the grant date and going back for a period of time equal to the expected life of the award. The Company estimates potential forfeitures of stock awards and adjusts recorded stock-based compensation expense accordingly. The Company estimates pre-vesting forfeitures primarily based on the Company's historical experience and is adjusts to reflect actual forfeitures as the stock-based awards vest.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

|:---|:---|:---|
|  |<br>**Number of**<br>**Options** | **Weighted**<br>**Average**<br>**Exercise**<br>**Price** |

**(Unaudited)**

On June 30, 2025, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $30,270 and $29,070, respectively. On June 30, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $423,850 and $259,295, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the fair value of such awards as of the period-end date.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted stock options to members of the Board of Directors (the "Board") to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.94 per share. The stock options vest in four equal quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter in 2025 and have a term of ten years. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company also granted options to employees to purchase an aggregate of 175,000 shares of common stock. These options vest in various tranches, ranging from equally over four years to fifty percent at grant date with the remaining balance vesting during the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The options have a term of ten years and have an exercise price of $2.01. The aggregate fair value for the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $545,550 and $72,240, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense for the Company's stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $77,760 and $245,389, respectfully. Stock-based compensation expense for the Company's stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, totaled $32,250 and $91,561, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is included in "general and administrative expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Series A Preferred Stock***

On December 30, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Designations designating the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations"), and establishing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock is 9,000,000 shares. On January 2, 2025, as partial consideration for the Acquisition, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

***Stock Repurchase Plan***

On May 8, 2025, the Board approved a stock repurchase plan for up to $400,000 of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Stock Repurchase Plan"), which expires on the one-year anniversary of such date. Shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 programs, and the Stock Repurchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by a committee of the Board at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other corporate considerations. As of June 30, 2025 104,600 shares of common stock had been repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Plan at an average price of $2.03 per share, or an aggregate of $212,798.

***Charter Amendment***

***Treasury Shares***

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 746,563 and 641,963 shares of its common stock, respectively, classified as treasury shares on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

 

**10. Net Income (Loss) Per Share**

Basic earnings and net (loss) income per share are computed by dividing the net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC Topic 260, *Earnings Per Share*. The Company applies the multiple-class method in calculating earnings per share. Earnings and losses are shared pro-rata between the multiple classes of shares. For 2025, the Company had two classes of stock, Series A Preferred Stock and common stock, that the calculations for weighted-average number of shares and earnings per share by class were based on. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method). To the extent stock options are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 845,136 and 763,736 of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

The following table summarizes the net loss per share calculation for the periods presented:

**11. Leases**

On April 9, 2021, the Company entered into a lease extension agreement with Jericho Executive Center LLC ("JEC") for its office space at 30 Jericho Executive Plaza in Jericho, New York, which commenced on December 1, 2021. On May 28, 2024, the Company entered into an additional lease extension agreement with JEC, which extends the lease period by two years to November 30, 2026. Beginning on December 1, 2024, the monthly rent totaled $6,850 per month. The new extension gives the Company an option to terminate the second year in July 2025. The Company's monthly office rent payments under the lease are currently approximately $7,081 per month. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had no long-term leases that were classified as financing leases and did not have additional operating or financing leases that had not yet commenced.

In connection with the Acquisition, as described in Note 3, the Company assumed an operating lease with IO New Jersey One, LLC ("Iron Mountain") for a data center that includes office space and equipment located at 3003 Woodbridge Avenue, Edison, New Jersey. The lease with Iron Mountain expires on April 30, 2026, and will automatically renew thereafter for additional terms of one year each, unless either party provides the other party with written notice that it will not renew the lease within ninety days of the current term. The renewal options have not been included in the Company's operating lease right-of-use asset and liability, as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise such options as of June 30, 2025. The Company's monthly rent payments under the lease are currently $17,767 per month.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company also assumed an operating lease with Aligned Data Centers (Phoenix) PropCo, LLC ("ADC") for a data center that includes office and storage space located at 2500 W. Union Hills Drive, Phoenix Arizona. As of the Closing Date, the lease with ADC was set to expire on August 30, 2025, subject to automatically one-year renewals thereafter, unless either party provided a notice of non-renewal within six months of the current term. Since the Company was not reasonably certain to exercise such options, and the remaining lease term did not extend beyond twelve months of the Closing Date, the Company applied the short-term measurement and recognition exemption in ASC Topic 842, *Leases* as of January 2, 2025. On January 24, 2025, the Company entered into a lease extension agreement with ADC, which extends the lease period by two years to August 30, 2027. Since the lease extension agreement resulted in a lease term greater than twelve months, the Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and liability on January 24, 2025, which includes the remaining lease term of approximately seven months and two-year extension term. The lease extension agreement modified the automatic renewal term from one year to two years, which has not been included in the Company's operating lease right-of-use asset and liability, as the Company is not reasonably certain exercise such options as of June 30, 2025. The Company's monthly rent payments under the lease are currently $53,853 per month.

**12. Commitments and Contingencies**

***Cisco WebEx Patent Litigation***

On July 23, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Paltalk Holdings, Inc., filed a patent infringement lawsuit (the "Lawsuit") against WebEx Communications, Inc., Cisco WebEx LLC, and Cisco Systems, Inc. (collectively, "Cisco"), in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (the "Court"). The Company alleged that certain of Cisco's products have infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858, and that the Company was entitled to damages.

On August 29, 2024, the jury awarded the Company $65.7 million (the "Award") in a jury verdict in connection with the Lawsuit. On October 8, 2024, an order granting a motion for final judgment was entered into in the Court in connection with Lawsuit in favor of the Company in the amount of the Award and started the time for filing any post-trial motions or appeal.

The exact amount of the Award proceeds to be received by the Company (including any interest related thereto) will be determined based on a number of factors and will reflect the deduction of significant litigation-related expenses, including legal fees. Consequently, the Company estimates that it would receive no more than one third of the gross proceeds in connection with the Award, subject to post-trial proceedings (including any potential appellate proceedings by Cisco).

***Cisco ManyCam Litigation***

On March 7, 2025, Cisco Systems, Inc. and Cisco Technology, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that the Company's ManyCam software has infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 8,830,293 and 8,941,708 and seeking damages and injunctive relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The Company has not recorded any liability for this matter as it does not believe a loss is probable, and it cannot estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss.

***Legal Proceedings***

The Company may be included in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates the need for a reserve for specific legal matters based on the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the reasonability of an estimable loss. No reserve was deemed necessary as of June 30, 2025.

**13. Credit Agreement and Revolving Promissory Note**

On April 10, 2025, the Company, Intelligent Protection LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("IPM LLC" and, together with the Company, the "Borrowers"), and Newtek Bank, National Association ("Newtek Bank"), a subsidiary of Newtek, entered into that certain business loan agreement and that certain credit agreement and revolving promissory note (together, the "Loan Agreements"), which provide for a secured revolving line of credit to the Borrowers in the maximum amount of $1,000,000 on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreements (the "Facility"). The obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreements are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers. The Company has included in restricted cash a certificate of deposit in the amount of $1,014,714 to collateralize this line of credit.

The Facility will mature on April 10, 2026 (the "Maturity Date"), and all outstanding principal amounts and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on such date unless the Facility is renewed or extended pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreements. The Facility may be drawn from April 10, 2025 to the Maturity Date. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no amounts were outstanding under the Facility.

The rate at which borrowings under the Loan Agreements bear interest is determined by applying the applicable monthly periodic rate (the "Monthly Periodic Rate") to the average daily balance of the Facility multiplied by the number of days in the month. The applicable Monthly Periodic Rate equals (i) the Annual Percentage Rate (defined below) (a) divided by 360, (b) multiplied by 365, and (c) divided by 12 (monthly). The Annual Percentage Rate is subject to change from time to time based on the rate index published by Newtek Bank plus a margin of 2.00%; provided, however, that in no event will the Annual Percentage Rate be less than 6.07%, nor will the Annual Percentage Rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law (the "Annual Percentage Rate").

**Overview**

We provide a comprehensive range of IT-related services, including dedicated server hosting, cloud hosting, data storage, managed security, backup and disaster recovery, and other related services including consulting and implementing technology solutions for large enterprise and commercial clients across the United States as well as small-and-medium sized businesses. We continue to sell our ManyCam software, which is a live streaming software and virtual camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming platforms, video conferencing apps and distance learning tools.

We have an over 20-year history of technology innovation and hold eight patents.

**Our IT and Cloud-Based Solutions**

We sell and provide a range of services across five core areas, each as further described below: managed IT security services, professional services, procurement services, secure private cloud hosting, managed backup and disaster recovery and web hosting.

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

*Managed IT Security Services*

 

Our managed IT security services provide clients with ongoing management and support of their IT systems and services under a subscription or contract-based model. Our managed IT security services include proactive monitoring, regular system maintenance, comprehensive cybersecurity management, data backup, and disaster recovery, as well as help desk support for users.

*Professional Services*

Our professional services include the design and implementation of a wide range of IT products and services, such as cybersecurity, software planning, IT infrastructure, data center design and configuration, designing and implementing on-premise, hybrid or cloud computing solutions, website development, developing or integrating systems and software and IT cost management.

*Procurement Services*

We offer two types of procurement services to our customers. We can either: (i) obtain software and hardware products on behalf of our customers, in which case our vendors drop ship the products to our end customer, or (ii) obtain hardware or software on behalf of our end customers and perform additional configuration and/or add additional inputs to the products before the products are shipped to our customer. In the instance where we sell hardware and software products as a solution bundled with services, we typically obtain the products or software from our vendors, add the additional inputs/configuration as detailed in the customer contract, and then ship the products to the end customer.

*Secure Private Cloud Hosting*

Our secure private cloud hosting offerings include a digital infrastructure which consists of dedicated and fully isolated cloud environments designed to deliver security, control and compliance for the business-critical applications and client data. We operate a secure private cloud from private suites in completely isolated areas that are leased within two Tier 3 data center facilities located in Phoenix, Arizona, and Edison, New Jersey (the "Data Centers"), pursuant to license agreements that extend until 2027 and 2026, respectively. Although we do not own or operate the Data Centers, we aim to use the high-level operations and standards provided by the Data Centers through our license agreements to provide our customers with secure and flexible cloud services.

We leverage state-of-the-art security measures, including data encryption, network segmentation, advanced firewalls, multi-factor authentication and continuous monitoring to safeguard against unauthorized access and cyber threats. We believe our secure private cloud hosting provides our clients with strong availability, data integrity and reliable performance, while meeting stringent compliance requirements. Our secure private cloud hosting solutions are backed by 24/7 support from our expert team, with the goal of delivering secure, flexible and resilient infrastructure tailored to each client's unique business needs. In the future, we plan to make arrangements with third parties to incorporate AI features into our secure private cloud offerings.

*Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery*

Our managed backup and disaster recovery solutions provide comprehensive protection for customers' critical data and IT infrastructure, which is intended to ensure business continuity and rapid recovery in the event of data loss, cyberattacks or system failures. We utilize advanced backup technologies with automated, regular data backups, off-site replication and secure storage to prevent data corruption or loss.

*Web Hosting*

Our web hosting services consist of several advanced security measures, including Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security ("SSL/TLS") encryption, firewalls, distributed denial-of-service ("DDoS") protection, malware scanning, and secure server configurations. Our web hosting services include features such as regular data backups, web application firewalls, strict access control policies and continuous monitoring and expert support, all of which are intended to ensure our customers' compliance with industry standards and provide a reliable and secure environment for our customers' online presence. Revenue from web hosting is included with managed information technology revenue in the statement of operations.

**Our ManyCam Software Product** 

 

We also support our ManyCam software, which is a live streaming software and virtual camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming platforms, video conferencing apps and distance learning tools. The ManyCam software provides multiple camera feeds, backgrounds and effects while also enabling users to share presentations, spreadsheets and documents. We are integrating ManyCam as an offering for our new customers and seek to optimize our cross-selling efforts of ManyCam with our other technology solutions.

**Recent Developments**

*The Acquisition* 

On January 2, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), we completed the acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc., a New York corporation ("NTS"), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Acquisition Agreement"), by and among us, PALT Merger Sub 1, Inc., a New York corporation and our direct and wholly owned subsidiary ("First Merger Sub"), PALT Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our direct and wholly owned subsidiary ("Second Merger Sub"), NTS and NewtekOne, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the sole stockholder of NTS ("Newtek"). Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date: (i) NTS merged with and into First Merger Sub, with NTS continuing as the surviving entity (the "Interim Surviving Entity" and such merger, the "First Step Merger"), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Step Merger, the Interim Surviving Entity merged with and into Second Merger Sub (the "Second Step Merger" and, together with the First Step Merger, the "Acquisition"), with the Second Merger Sub surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary (in such capacity, the "Surviving Entity"). Following the closing of the Acquisition (the "Acquisition Closing"), we changed our name from "Paltalk, Inc." to "Intelligent Protection Management Corp."

The aggregate consideration we delivered to Newtek at the Acquisition Closing consisted of (i) $4,000,000 in cash (as adjusted pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the "Acquisition Closing Cash Consideration") and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of our Series A Non-Voting Common Equivalent Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock" and such shares issued at the Acquisition Closing, the "Acquisition Closing Stock Consideration" and together with the Acquisition Closing Cash Consideration, the "Acquisition Closing Consideration"). The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into one share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments), upon the occurrence of certain qualifying transfers by Newtek to third parties. In addition to the Acquisition Closing Consideration, Newtek is entitled to earn-out payments under certain circumstances. For more information, see the "*Liquidity and Capital Resources*" section below.

*The Divestiture* 

 

On the Closing Date and prior to the Acquisition Closing, we completed the sale to Meteor Mobile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Meteor Mobile"), of our telecommunications services provider, "Vumber", as well as our "Paltalk" and "Camfrog" applications and certain assets and liabilities related to such services provider and applications (the "Transferred Assets" and such sale, the "Divestiture" and, together with the Acquisition, the "Transactions") pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Divestiture Agreement"), by and among the us, our wholly owned subsidiaries Paltalk Holdings, Inc. ("Paltalk Holdings"), Paltalk Software, Inc., Camshare, Inc., A.V.M. Software, Inc., and Vumber, LLC (collectively, the "Sellers"), and Meteor Mobile. As a result of the Divestiture, we are no longer engaged in the business of providing video-based, live streaming, virtual camera and telecommunications software to consumers, as and to the extent such businesses were previously conducted by us pursuant to the "Vumber," "Paltalk" and "Camfrog" applications (the "Business"). In addition, prior to the Acquisition Closing, we ceased all operations of our "Tinychat" service and application.

The consideration delivered by Meteor Mobile to us at the closing of the Divestiture consisted of (i) $1,350,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Sellers arising out of, or relating to, the Business or the Transferred Assets, other than certain excluded liabilities (the "Divestiture Closing Consideration"). In connection with the Divestiture, we are entitled to earn-out payments under certain circumstances. For more information, see the "*Liquidity and Capital Resources*" section below.

Shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 programs, and the Stock Repurchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by a committee of the Board at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other corporate considerations.

● continuing to defend our intellectual property.

**Sources of Revenue** 

Our main sources of revenue are described below. As a result of the variability of contract and service type, some of the revenue we report in each period is deferred revenue from contracts we entered into during previous periods. This may make it difficult for us to quickly increase revenue through the entry into new contracts in any period, and a decline in new or renewed contracts in any one quarter will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. As a result, revenue generated in prior quarters may not provide a reliable indication of future results.

*Managed IT Security Services*

Customers pay for our managed IT security services on a subscription or contract-based model. Customers typically pay a recurring fee, which is generally based on service level agreements that define the specific services and performance metrics. The unearned portion of managed IT security services revenue is presented as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets.

*Professional Services*

Customers are invoiced for our professional services either based on a time and materials basis or on a straight-line basis for all fixed fee arrangements. The unearned portion of professional services revenue is presented as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. We are the principal in these transactions, as we control the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. Additionally, we are primarily responsible for fulfillment of the order and have pricing discretion. As a result, we recognize revenue from our professional services revenue on a gross basis.

*Procurement Services* 

Our procurement services include either (i) obtaining software and hardware products on behalf of our customers, in which case our vendors drop ship the products to our end customer, or (ii) obtaining hardware or software on behalf of our customers and performing additional configuration and/or add additional inputs to the products before the products are shipped to our customer. For both types of procurement services, each customer has their own negotiated contract and payment terms. If a customer orders both hardware and additional configurations to those laptops, typically these will both be covered under separate contracts. The services provided are considered distinct, as the additional configurations are not required for the hardware purchased to operate effectively. Customers are invoiced, and revenue is recognized, when the purchased hardware is shipped, as control transfers to the customer free on board ("FOB") shipping point. We are an agent in these transactions because we (i) do not obtain control over the product as products are drop shipped from their vendors directly to the customer; (ii) have no inventory risk and (iii) have general pricing discretion in our transactions with customers. Our pricing discretion is limited by the going market rate of our services offered by other providers. Based on this assessment, we recognize revenue from procurement services on a net basis.

Additionally, certain procurement contracts with customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.

*Secure Private Cloud Hosting*

Our secure private cloud offerings include a digital infrastructure which consists of servers that are dedicated to a single customer. We offer secure private cloud offerings on-premise through our Data Centers as well as off-premise. Our secure private cloud offerings typically are one performance obligation where we are providing the cloud storage to the customer and customers pay a monthly fixed fee for the service.

When a cloud-based service includes both on-premise software licenses and cloud services, judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and, therefore, accounted for separately, or not distinct and, therefore, accounted for together with the cloud service and recognized over time. Certain cloud services depend on a significant level of integration, interdependency, and interrelation between the desktop applications and cloud services, and are accounted for together as one performance obligation. Revenue from such cloud services is recognized ratably over the period in which the cloud services are provided. The unearned portion of revenue from cloud services is presented as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets.

*Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery*

Pricing for our managed backup and disaster recovery solutions is based upon the customer contract and depends on the amount of backup storage needed. Customers are typically charged set rates per the contract and are charged monthly based on usage. There are typically no upfront fees for these contracts. Customers are invoiced and revenue is recognized on a monthly basis.

*Web Hosting* 

Each customer of our web hosting solutions has their own contract and payment terms. Contract duration is typically between 1-4 years, although the term may vary based on the customer's needs. Web hosting services customers pay a monthly fee and there are typically no upfront costs associated with web hosting services. Customers are invoiced and revenue is recognized on a monthly basis.

*Subscription Revenue* 

We also generate subscription revenue from monthly premium subscription services for our ManyCam software. Subscription revenues are presented net of refunds, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, subscriptions were offered in durations of twelve-month and twenty four-month terms. All subscription fees, however, are paid by credit card at the origination of the subscription regardless of the term of the subscription. Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period where the service is offered to the customer, indicated by length of the subscription term purchased. The unearned portion of subscription revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

*Adjusted EBITDA*

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest (income) expense, net, other (income) expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and net loss from discontinued operations.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and Board to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to develop short- and long-term operational plans and to allocate resources to expand our business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the cash operating income generated by our business. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results, and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of competitors.

*Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA*

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest income, net; other expense, net; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; and net loss from discontinued operations. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

---

Non-operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $234,070, a decrease of $208,414, or 47.1%, as compared to non-operating income of $442,484 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in the amount of principal the Company invested and at varying interest rates. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the sale of a domain name that the Company is not using. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 other income included proceeds from a class action lawsuit against a service provider.

***Income Taxes***

Our provision for income taxes consists of federal, foreign and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company's year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1,988,058 primarily related to a partial release of its valuation allowance as the Acquisition created a source of future taxable income allowing for the recognition of certain deferred tax assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $66,208, consisting primarily of federal, foreign, state and local taxes.

---

Currently, our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand and cash available through the Facility. As of the date of this report, no amounts were outstanding under the Facility.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance, our cash available through the Facility and our expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet all of our financial obligations for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2025, we had $8,301,692 of cash and cash equivalents, which included $1,014,714 of restricted cash.

Our primary use of working capital is related to investment in marketing initiatives to grow the business in order to maintain and create new services and features in applications for our clients and users. In the future, we may seek to grow our business by expending our capital resources to fund strategic acquisitions, investments and partnership opportunities.

*Stock Repurchase Plan* 

 

On May 8, 2025, the Board approved the Stock Repurchase Plan for up to $400,000 of our outstanding common stock, which expires on the one-year anniversary of such date. We intend to utilize the Stock Repurchase Plan to minimize the dilutive impact of awards granted under our equity incentive plans and to repurchase shares opportunistically. Shares of common stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 plans. The Stock Repurchase Plan does not obligate us to repurchase any shares of common stock, and the Stock Repurchase Plan may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated at any time by our Board. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by a committee of the Board at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other corporate considerations. As of June 30, 2025, 104,600 shares of common stock had been repurchased pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Plan.

 

*NTS Acquisition*

On January 2, 2025, we closed the Acquisition, pursuant to which we acquired NTS through a two-step merger process. The aggregate consideration we delivered to Newtek at the Acquisition Closing consisted of (i) $4,000,000 in cash and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. In addition to the Acquisition Closing Consideration, the Acquisition Agreement provides that Newtek is entitled to receive an amount up to $5,000,000 (the "Acquisition Earn-Out Amount") based on our achievement of certain cumulative average adjusted EBITDA thresholds for the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years. The Acquisition Earn-Out Amount may be paid, in our sole discretion, in cash (the "Acquisition Earn-Out Cash Consideration"), in shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration") or in a combination thereof. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, to the extent that all or a portion of the Acquisition Earn-Out Amount is paid in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued to Newtek will be calculated based on the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of our common stock during each trading day during a 60 calendar-day period ending on December 31, 2026; provided, that in no event shall such price be less than $1.00.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, if the issuance of the Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration would cause Newtek's "total equity" (as calculated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and as implemented and interpreted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) in us to exceed one-third of our total equity (the "Total Equity Cap"), then the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable as Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration will be adjusted so that we will issue to Newtek the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would not cause Newtek's total equity to exceed the Total Equity Cap, with a corresponding increase to the Acquisition Earn-Out Cash Consideration.

*The Divestiture*

On January 2, 2025, we completed the sale to Meteor Mobile of the Transferred Assets. The consideration delivered by Meteor Mobile to us at the closing of the Divestiture consisted of (i) $1,350,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Sellers arising out of, or relating to, the Business or the Transferred Assets, other than certain excluded liabilities. In addition to the Divestiture Closing Consideration, we are entitled to receive, with respect to each Earn-Out Period, as defined and described below, certain payments in cash based on the cash revenue, net of any refunds, received by Meteor Mobile that is attributable to the Business (such cash revenue, the "Legacy Business Revenue"), as follows:

● from the six-month period beginning on July 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2025 ("Earn-Out Period 1"), an amount equal to (i) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $3,500,000 and less than $4,250,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $4,250,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue in excess of $4,250,000 multiplied by 0.40; and

● from each of the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2026 ("Earn-Out Period 2"), the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2027 and ending on December 31, 2027 ("Earn-Out Period 3"), and the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2028 and ending on December 31, 2028 ("Earn-Out Period 4" and collectively with Earn-Out Period 1, Earn-Out Period 2 and Earn-Out Period 3, the "Earn-Out Periods"), an amount equal to (i) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $7,000,000 and less than $8,500,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $8,500,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue in excess of $8,500,000 multiplied by 0.40 (the aggregate amount, if any, earned during the Earn-Out Periods, the "Divestiture Earn-Out Amount").

In the event of a change of control (as defined in the Divestiture Agreement) of Meteor Mobile during any of the Earn-Out Periods, we are entitled to receive an acceleration payment in cash, net of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts previously paid to us (the "Acceleration Payment"). If any of the Transferred Assets are sold independently from the other assets of Meteor Mobile, we will be entitled to (i) 50% of the aggregate consideration paid to Meteor Mobile for the Transferred Assets minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers by the date of the change of control, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date. If any of the Transferred Assets are sold contemporaneously with other assets of Meteor Mobile, we are entitled to (x) the aggregate consideration paid to Meteor Mobile for the Transferred Assets multiplied by the ratio of the trailing 12-month EBITDA of the Transferred Assets sold and the EBITDA of all assets sold minus (y) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers by the date of the change of control, minus (z) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date. The minimum Acceleration Payment for the sale of "Paltalk," "Camfrog" and "Vumber" is $1,650,000, $450,000 and $300,000, respectively, and the Acceleration Payments payable to us are capped at $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

***Operating Activities***

Net cash provided by operating activities was $856,105 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $103,210 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the amount of cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributed to the change in the business activities of the Company following the Transactions compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, specifically, the collection of accounts receivable (favorable by $0.3 million), and the timing of payment of payables (favorable by $1.5 million), netted against amounts collected by the Company during the second quarter following the Divestiture due to Meteor Mobile and paid subsequent to quarter end of $0.4 million.

***Investing Activities***

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4,280,149 and related to the cash consideration paid by the Company to Newtek in connection with the Acquisition as well as the acquisition of fixed assets. There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 ****

***Financing Activities***

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,137,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was attributed to the $1,350,000 received in connection with the Divestiture netted against the $212,798 used in connection with the Stock Repurchase Plan. There was no cash used in or provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Contractual Obligations and Commitments***

There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the contractual obligations and commitments section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-K.

***Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements***

As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

  ****

***Critical Accounting Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

*Business Combinations*

We apply the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity recognizes all of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. We use our best estimates and assumptions to estimate the fair values of these tangible and intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to the assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Not applicable.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our chief executive officer recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based on the evaluation as of June 30, 2025, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 ****

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the Acquisition. The Company is in the process of integrating its internal controls over financial reporting following the Acquisition. As a result of these integration activities, certain controls will be evaluated and may be changed.

**PART II: OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

On March 7, 2025, Cisco Systems, Inc. and Cisco Technology, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that the Company's ManyCam software has infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 8,830,293 and 8,941,708 and seeking damages and injunctive relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The Company has not recorded any liability for this matter as it does not believe a loss is probable, and it cannot estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution to this matter could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

To our knowledge, other than as described above, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

The "***Option Period***" shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless terminated earlier in accordance with <u>Section 4</u> below. The Stock Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option. This Stock Option is intended to comply with the provisions governing nonqualified stock options under the final Treasury Regulations issued on April 17, 2007, in order to exempt this Stock Option from application of Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Subject to Plan</u>. The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (this "***Agreement***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Term; Forfeiture</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;a. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares that are not vested on the date of the Participant's Termination of Service, the Stock Option will be terminated on that date. The unexercised portion of the Stock Option that relates to Optioned Shares which are vested on such date will terminate at the first of the following to occur:

&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;i. 5 p.m. on the date the Option Period terminates;

&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;ii. 5 p.m. on the date that is ninety (90) days following the date of the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason not otherwise specified in this <u>Section 4(a)</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. immediately upon the Participant's Termination of Service by the Company for Cause (as defined below);

&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;iv. 5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Stock Option to be forfeited pursuant to <u>Section 7</u> hereof; or

&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;v. immediately upon the Participant's violation of any non-compete or non-solicitation agreement entered into between the Company and the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. For purposes hereof, "***Cause***" shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement or other service agreement by and between the Company and the Participant; provided, that, if no such agreement is in effect or such agreement does not define such term, then "Cause" shall mean (i) acts of fraud or dishonesty in the course of employment or service, (ii) violations of law causing material harm to the Company, (iii) substance abuse causing harm to the Company or impairing performance, (iv) conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (v) insubordination, dereliction of duties, habitual absenteeism, or material failure to follow reasonable Company instructions after (solely in the case of this clause (v)) notice to the Participant and the Participant's failure to correct same within the time period specified in the notice, which time period shall be not less than ten (10) business days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Who May Exercise</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in <u>Sections 3 and 4</u> above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant's guardian or personal or legal representative. If the Participant's Termination of Service is due to his or her death prior to the dates specified in <u>Section 4(a)</u> hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in <u>Section 3</u> hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the exercisable portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in <u>Section 4(a)</u> hereof: the personal representative of his or her estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>No Fractional Shares</u>. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Manner of Exercise</u>. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Company (in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised (the "***Exercise Notice***") and the date of exercise thereof (the "***Exercise Date***") which shall be the date that the Participant has delivered both the Exercise Notice and consideration to the Company with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased (plus any employment tax withholding or other tax payment due with respect to the exercise of the Stock Option). On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, wire transfer of immediately available funds, or money order payable to the order of the Company; (b) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, Common Stock (including Restricted Stock) owned by the Participant on the Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date; (c) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, by delivery (including by FAX or electronic transmission) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form (or, to the extent permitted by the Company, exercise instructions, which may be communicated in writing, telephonically, or electronically) together with irrevocable instructions from the Participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price; (d) by requesting the Company to withhold the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Stock Option by the number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price at the time of exercise (*i.e.*, a cashless net exercise by forfeiture); and/or (e) in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are tendered as consideration for the exercise of a Stock Option, if permitted by the Company in accordance with <u>Section 7(b)</u>, a number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Stock Option equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor shall be subject to the same restrictions and provisions as the Restricted Stock so tendered. If the Participant fails to deliver the consideration described above within three (3) business days of the date of the Exercise Notice, then the Exercise Notice shall be null and void and the Company will have no obligation to deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant in connection with such Exercise Notice.

Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause the Common Stock then being purchased to be electronically registered in the Participant's name (or the person exercising the Participant's Stock Option in the event of the Participant's death), but shall not issue certificates for the Common Stock unless the Participant or such other person requests delivery of the certificates for the Common Stock, in writing in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. The Company shall deliver certificates to the Participant (or the person exercising the Participant's Stock Option in the event of the Participant's death) as soon as administratively practicable following the Company's receipt of a written request from the Participant or such other person for delivery of the certificates. Any obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, then the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Common Stock specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, that portion of the Participant's Stock Option and the right to purchase such Common Stock may be forfeited by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Nonassignability</u>. The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>No Rights as Stockholder</u>. The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any of the Optioned Shares until the electronic registration of such shares of Common Stock in the Participant's name (or issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant). The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 10</u> hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the electronic registration of such shares of Common Stock in the Participant's name (or the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant). The Participant, by the Participant's execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters</u>. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with <u>Articles 11 - 13</u> of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Nonqualified Stock Option</u>. The Stock Option shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Voting</u>. The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock Option, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the Optioned Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this Section shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise have no such right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Specific Performance</u>. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Participant's Representations</u>. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to register any shares of Common Stock in the Participant's name or issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the registration and/or issuance of such shares of Common Stock shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination by the Company under this <u>Section 14</u> shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Investment Representation</u>. Unless the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him or her in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Participant's Acknowledgments</u>. The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his or her review by the Company, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Stock Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Law Governing</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Claims</u>. The Participant's sole remedy for any Claim shall be against the Company, and the Participant shall not have any claim or right of any nature against any Subsidiary of the Company or any stockholder or existing or former director, officer, or Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. The Participant hereby releases and covenants not to sue any Person other than the Company over any Claims. The individuals and entities described above in this <u>Section 18</u> (other than the Company) shall be third-party beneficiaries of the Plan and this Agreement for purposes of enforcing the terms of this <u>Section 18</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. <u>No Right to Continue Service or Employment</u>. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employ or to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary, whether as an Employee, Contractor, or Outside Director, or to interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to discharge the Participant as an Employee, Contractor, or Outside Director at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. <u>Legal Construction.</u> In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements</u>. Each of the covenants and agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement together with the Plan supersede any and all other prior understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the subject matter in this Agreement and constitute the sole and only agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. <u>Waiver</u>. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. <u>Modification</u>. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless the change or modification is in writing and signed by the parties; provided, however, that the Company may change or modify this Agreement without the Participant's consent or signature if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such change or modification is necessary for purposes of compliance with or exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.

&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;ii. immediately upon the Participant's Termination of Service by the Company for Cause (as defined herein);

&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. 5 p.m. on the date which is twelve (12) months following the date of the Participant's Termination of Service due to death or Total and Permanent Disability;

&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;iv. 5 p.m. on the date which is three (3) months following the date of the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason not otherwise specified in this <u>Section 4.a.</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v. 5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Stock Option to be forfeited pursuant to <u>Section 7</u> hereof; or

&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;vi. immediately upon the Participant's violation of any non-compete or non-solicitation agreement entered into between the Company and the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. For purposes hereof, "***Cause***" shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement by and between the Company and the Participant; provided, that, if no such agreement is in effect or such agreement does not define such term, then "Cause" shall mean (i) acts of fraud or dishonesty in the course of employment, (ii) violations of law causing material harm to the Company, (iii) substance abuse causing harm to the Company or impairing performance, (iv) conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (v) insubordination, dereliction of duties, habitual absenteeism, or material failure to follow reasonable Company instructions after (solely in the case of this clause (v)) notice to the Participant and the Participant's failure to correct same within the time period specified in the notice, which time period shall be not less than ten (10) business days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Who May Exercise</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in <u>Sections 3 and 4</u> above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant's guardian or personal or legal representative. If the Participant's Termination of Service is due to his or her death prior to the dates specified in <u>Section 4.a.</u> hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in <u>Section 3</u> hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the exercisable portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in <u>Section 4.a.</u> hereof: the personal representative of his or her estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>No Fractional Shares</u>. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Manner of Exercise</u>. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Company (in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised (the "***Exercise Notice***"), whether the Optioned Shares to be exercised will be considered as deemed granted under an Incentive Stock Option as provided in <u>Section 11</u>, and the date of exercise thereof (the "***Exercise Date***") which shall be the date that the Participant has delivered both the Exercise Notice and consideration to the Company with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased (plus any employment tax withholding or other tax payment due with respect to the exercise of the Stock Option). On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, wire transfer of immediately available funds, or money order payable to the order of the Company; (b) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, Common Stock (including Restricted Stock) owned by the Participant on the Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date; (c) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, by delivery (including by FAX or electronic transmission) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form (or, to the extent permitted by the Company, exercise instructions, which may be communicated in writing, telephonically, or electronically) together with irrevocable instructions from the Participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price; (d) by requesting the Company to withhold the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Stock Option by the number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price at the time of exercise (*i.e.*, a cashless net exercise by forfeiture); and/or (e) in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are tendered as consideration for the exercise of a Stock Option, if permitted by the Company in accordance with <u>Section 7(b)</u>, a number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Stock Option equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor shall be subject to the same restrictions and provisions as the Restricted Stock so tendered. If the Participant fails to deliver the consideration described above within three (3) business days of the date of the Exercise Notice, then the Exercise Notice shall be null and void and the Company will have no obligation to deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant in connection with such Exercise Notice.

Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause the Common Stock then being purchased to be electronically registered in the Participant's name (or the person exercising the Participant's Stock Option in the event of the Participant's death), but shall not issue certificates for the Common Stock unless the Participant or such other person requests delivery of the certificates for the Common Stock, in writing in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. The Company shall deliver certificates to the Participant (or the person exercising the Participant's Stock Option in the event of the Participant's death) as soon as administratively practicable following the Company's receipt of a written request from the Participant or such other person for delivery of the certificates. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Participant has exercised an Incentive Stock Option, the Company may at its option place a transfer restriction on any electronically registered shares (or, if a physical certificate is issued, retain physical possession of the certificate evidencing the shares acquired upon exercise) until the expiration of the holding periods described in Section 422(a)(1) of the Code. Any obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, then the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Common Stock specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, that portion of the Participant's Stock Option and right to purchase such Common Stock may be forfeited by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Nonassignability</u>. The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>No Rights as Stockholder</u>. The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any of the Optioned Shares until the electronic registration of such shares of Common Stock in the Participant's name (or the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant). The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 10</u> hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the electronic registration of such shares of Common Stock in the Participant's name (or the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant). The Participant, by the Participant's execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters</u>. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with <u>Articles 11 – 13</u> of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Incentive Stock Option</u>. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent the number of Optioned Shares exceeds the limit set forth in <u>Section 6.3</u> of the Plan, such Optioned Shares shall be deemed granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option. Unless otherwise indicated by the Participant in the notice of exercise pursuant to <u>Section 7</u>, upon any exercise of this Stock Option, the number of exercised Optioned Shares that shall be deemed to be exercised pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option shall equal the total number of Optioned Shares so exercised multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of unexercised Optioned Shares that could then be exercised pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option, and (ii) the denominator of which is the then total number of unexercised Optioned Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Disqualifying Disposition</u>. In the event that Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Stock Option is disposed of by the Participant in a "Disqualifying Disposition," such Participant shall notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition of the date and terms of such disposition. For purposes hereof, "***Disqualifying Disposition***" shall mean a disposition of Common Stock that is acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option (and that is not deemed granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option under <u>Section 11</u>) prior to the expiration of either two (2) years from the Date of Grant of this Stock Option or one (1) year from the transfer of shares to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Voting</u>. The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock Option, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the Optioned Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this Section shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise have no such right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Specific Performance</u>. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Participant's Representations</u>. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to register any shares of Common Stock in the Participant's name or issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the registration and/or issuance of such shares of Common Stock shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination by the Company under this <u>Section 15</u> shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Investment Representation</u>. Unless the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him or her in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Participant's Acknowledgments</u>. The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his or her review by the Company, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Stock Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Law Governing</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. <u>Claims</u>. The Participant's sole remedy for any Claim shall be against the Company, and the Participant shall not have any claim or right of any nature against any Subsidiary of the Company or any stockholder or existing or former director, officer, or Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. The Participant hereby releases and covenants not to sue any Person other than the Company over any Claims. The individuals and entities described above in this <u>Section 19</u> (other than the Company) shall be third-party beneficiaries of the Plan and this Agreement for purposes of enforcing the terms of this <u>Section 19</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. <u>No Right to Continue Employment</u>. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to discharge the Participant at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Legal Construction.</u> In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements</u>. Each of the covenants and agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement, together with the Plan, supersede any and all other prior understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the subject matter in this Agreement and constitute the sole and only agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter in this Agreement.

Except for the specific representations expressly made by the Company in this Agreement, the Participant specifically disclaims that the Participant is relying upon or has relied upon any communications, promises, statements, inducements, or representation(s) that may have been made, oral or written, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. The parties represent that they are relying solely and only on their own judgment in entering into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. <u>Waiver</u>. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. <u>Modification</u>. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless the change or modification is in writing and signed by the parties.

"Shares of stock represented by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company."

All Awarded Shares owned by the Participant shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall be represented by a certificate or certificates bearing the foregoing legend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Delivery of Certificates</u>. The Company shall electronically register the Awarded Shares in the Participant's name or, if requested in writing by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.4(a) of the Plan, shall deliver certificates for the Awarded Shares free of restriction under this Agreement as soon as administratively practicable after, and only after, the Restriction Period has expired without forfeiture pursuant to Section 4. In connection with the issuance of a certificate for Restricted Stock, the Participant shall endorse such certificate in blank or execute a stock power in a form satisfactory to the Company in blank and deliver such certificate and executed stock power to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Rights of a Stockholder</u>.

Any stock dividends paid with respect to Awarded Shares shall at all times be treated as Awarded Shares and shall be subject to all restrictions placed on such Awarded Shares; any such stock dividends paid with respect to such Awarded Shares shall vest as the related Awarded Shares become vested. Any cash dividends paid with respect to unvested Awarded Shares shall at all times be subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth above); any such cash dividends paid with respect to such unvested Awarded Shares shall vest as such Awarded Shares become vested, and shall be paid to the Participant on the date the Awarded Shares to which such cash dividends relate become vested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Voting</u>. The Participant, as record holder of the Awarded Shares, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Awarded Shares until such time as the Awarded Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this <u>Section 9</u> shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Awarded Shares otherwise have no such right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Adjustment of Number of Awarded Shares and Related Matters</u>. The number of Awarded Shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with <u>Articles 11 - 13</u> of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Specific Performance</u>. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Participant's Representations</u>. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant will not acquire any Awarded Shares, and that the Company will not be obligated to register any shares of Common Stock in the Participant's name or issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant hereunder, if the registration and/or issuance of such shares of Common Stock shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination by the Company under this <u>Section 12</u> shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The rights and obligations of the Company and the rights and obligations of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Investment Representation</u>. Unless the Awarded Shares are issued in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be purchased and/or received hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal, or state securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him or her in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal, and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Participant's Acknowledgments</u>. The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his or her review by the Company, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

The Participant's sole remedy for any Claim shall be against the Company, and the Participant shall not have any claim or right of any nature against any Subsidiary of the Company or any stockholder or existing or former director, officer, or Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. The Participant hereby releases and covenants not to sue any Person other than the Company over any Claims. The individuals and entities described above in this <u>Section 16</u> (other than the Company) shall be third-party beneficiaries of the Plan and this Agreement for purposes of enforcing the terms of this <u>Section 16</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>No Right to Continue Service or Employment</u>. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employ or to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary, whether as an Employee, Contractor or as an Outside Director, or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to discharge the Participant as an Employee, Contractor or Outside Director at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Legal Construction.</u> In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. <u>Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements</u>. Each of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. <u>Waiver</u>. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. <u>Modification</u>.
