&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The company is offering
 up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock, plus up to 250,000 additional shares of common stock eligible to be issued as bonus shares
 (the "**Bonus Shares**") to investors based upon an investor's investment level and whether an investor is a
 prior investor, as described in this Offering Circular. No additional consideration will be received by the company for the issuance
 of Bonus Shares and the company will absorb the cost of the issuance of the Bonus Shares. See "Plan of Distribution"
 for further details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The company has engaged
 StartEngine Primary, LLC ()"**StartEngine Primary**") to act as an underwriter of this offering as set forth in "Plan
 of Distribution" and its affiliate StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. to perform administrative and technology-related functions
 in connection with this offering. The company will pay a cash commission of 3.5% to StartEngine Primary on sales of the common stock,
 and the company will issue StartEngine Primary a number of shares of common stock equal to 2% of the common stock sold through StartEngine
 Primary (excluding Bonus Shares). The company will also pay a $15,000 advance fee for reasonable accountable out of pocket expenses
 actually anticipated to be incurred by StartEngine Primary. Any unused portion of this fee not actually incurred by StartEngine Primary
 will be returned to the company. FINRA fees will be paid by the company. This does not include processing fees paid directly to StartEngine
 Primary by investors as discussed in footnote 4 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Does not include effective
 discount that would result from the issuance of Bonus Shares. See "Plan of Distribution" for further details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Investors will be required
 to pay directly to StartEngine Primary a processing fee equal to 3.5% of the investment amount at the time of the investors'
 subscription (excluding Bonus Shares). The processing fee shall not exceed $700 for any investor. See "Plan of Distribution"
 for additional discussion of this processing fee. Assuming the offering is fully subscribed (excluding Bonus Shares), investors would
 pay StartEngine Primary total processing fees of $420,000. This amount is included in the Total Maximum offering amount since it
 counts towards the rolling 12-month maximum offering amount that the company is permitted to raise under Regulation A. However, it
 is not included in the gross proceeds received by the company.

(5) Offering expenses include only platform fees and commissions, and exclude, among other things,
 legal, accounting, marketing and cdgar expenses.

The company expects that the amount of expenses of the offering that it will pay will be approximately $60,000, not including commissions, state filing fees or marketing expenses.

**The offering will terminate at the earlier of: (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold (ii) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the company in its sole discretion or (iii) the date that is three years from this offering being qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").**

**The company has engaged Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware as agent to hold any funds that are tendered by investors. The offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis. The company may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company. After the initial closing of this offering, we expect to hold closings on at least a monthly basis.**

***THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL OF ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.***

**GENERALLY, NO SALE MAY BE MADE TO YOU IN THIS OFFERING IF THE AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE YOU PAY IS MORE THAN 10% OF THE GREATER OF YOUR ANNUAL INCOME OR NET WORTH. DIFFERENT RULES APPLY TO ACCREDITED INVESTORS AND NON-NATURAL PERSONS. BEFORE MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT YOUR INVESTMENT DOES NOT EXCEED APPLICABLE THRESHOLDS, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW RULE 251(d)(2)(i)(C) OF REGULATION A. FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ON INVESTING, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REFER TO <u>www.investor.</u>g<u>ov</u>.**

**There is currently no trading market for our common stock.**

**The holders of common stock issued in this offering will grant an irrevocable voting proxy to our chief executive officer that will limit their ability to vote their common stock until the occurrence of certain events specified in the proxy, none of which may ever occur. *See "SUMMARY – Rights and Preferences of Common Stock."***

**These are speculative securities. Investing in our common stock involves significant risks. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5.**

**Sales of these securities will commence within two (2) days of the qualification of this offering.**

**We shall file periodic reports as required pursuant to Rule 257(b).**

**We are following the "Offering Circular" format of disclosure under Regulation A.**

**In the event that the company becomes a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the company intends to take advantage of the provisions that relate to "Emerging Growth Companies" under the JOBS Act of 2012. See "Summary -- Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company."**

THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR MAY CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION RELATING TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE COMPANY, ITS BUSINESS PLAN AND STRATEGY, AND ITS INDUSTRY. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON THE BELIEFS OF, ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY, AND INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO OUR MANAGEMENT. WHEN USED IN THE OFFERING MATERIALS, THE WORDS "ESTIMATE," "PROJECT," "BELIEVE," "ANTICIPATE," "INTEND," "EXPECT" AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS REFLECT MANAGEMENT'S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE ON WHICH THEY ARE MADE. WE DO NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO REVISE OR UPDATE THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER SUCH DATE OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS.

**SUMMARY**

This Summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular, and does not contain all the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in the common stock, you should carefully read this entire Offering Circular, including our financial statements and related notes. You should consider among other information, the matters described under "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

**The Company**

We design, manufacture, and sell small vertical axis wind turbines, which, compared with current small drag-type wind turbines, are more aerodynamically efficient, emit less noise and vibrations, and are aesthetically designed. We have solved the aerodynamic blade design issues that plague many of our competitors' wind turbines. Our goal is to make our sleek, innovative, and efficient small wind turbines the foundation of a large global renewable energy company. We currently offer, one, three, and six-meter high versions of our wind turbines, that can produce power ranging from tens of watts up to 5,000 watts.

**Rights and Preferences of Common Stock**

The holders of common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata dividends, if any, declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential right of the holders of any preferred stock that may be authorized and issued in the future. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution, subject to any preferential right of the holders of any preferred stock that may be authorized and issued in the future.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share, however, the holders of common stock issued in this offering will grant an irrevocable voting proxy to our chief executive officer (the "**Proxy**"), that will limit their ability to vote their common stock until the occurrence of certain events specified in the proxy, none of which may ever occur. The proxy is set out in Section 6 of the Subscription Agreement which appears as Exhibit 4.1 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part (the "**Subscription Agreement**"). There exists uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the irrevocability of the proxy. In addition, the inability of the holders of common stock issued in this offering to vote their common stock, and the provision of a voting proxy to our chief executive officer, could have an anti-takeover effect as a potential acquirer may wish to call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of considering the removal of directors or an acquisition offer, in which case the investors would not have the right to vote in favor of the same. See "Securities Being Offered – Voting Proxy" and "Risk Factors - Investors in our common stock will have to assign their voting rights."

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, other than with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Proxy, the Proxy will not be liable for any actions he/she takes or fails to take, in his/her capacity as the Proxy, while acting in good faith. Therefore, if the Proxy takes actions or omits to take actions which investors deem to be not in their best interests, as long as such actions do not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the Proxy is acting in good faith, the investors would not have any recourse against the Proxy. In addition, under the Subscription Agreement, except to the extent prohibited by applicable federal and state securities laws, each investor agrees to indemnify the Proxy from all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with any act done or omitted in the Proxy's capacity as representative of such investor, in each case as such losses are suffered or incurred. While it is uncertain whether a court would enforce such provision, if it did, investors in this offering could have indemnification obligations to the Proxy. See "Risk Factors - Our Subscription Agreement limits the liability of the proxy and provides the proxy with certain indemnification rights against the investors."

As of August 1, 2022, Dr. Mark Daniel Farb, our sole director, and our CEO, held over 70% of our outstanding common stock, and via voting proxies, holds substantially all voting power. See "Risk Factors – Our chief executive officer and sole director has voting control."

**Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company**

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

● annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding two fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than two years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer's securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") of the issuer's liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),

● semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer's interim financial statements and MD&A) and

● current reports for certain material events.

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

● will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

● will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as "compensation discussion and analysis");

● will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the "say-on-pay," "say-on-frequency" and "say-on-golden-parachute" votes);

● will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;

● may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and

● will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

**Selected Risks Associated with Our Business**

Our business expects to be subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled "Risk Factors" immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

● Our financial statements include a going concern note.

● We depend on certain key personnel and must attract and retain additional talent.

● The success of our business is highly correlated to general economic conditions.

● Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.

● Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties.

● The growth of our business depends on our ability to finance new products.

● We face intense competition, and many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do.

● If our products fail to perform as expected, we may have to recall them and our ability to develop, market and sell our products could be harmed.

● We are exposed to risks associated with product liability claims in the event that the use or installation of our products results in injury or damage.

● We could incur substantial costs to comply with environmental, health and safety ("EHS") laws and regulations and to address violations of or liabilities under these requirements.

● Our ability to comply with regulatory requirements is critical to our future success, and there can be no guarantee that our businesses are in full compliance with all such requirements.

● The U.S. wind energy industry is significantly impacted by tax and other economic incentives. A significant change in these incentives could significantly impact our results of operations and growth.

● Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, and sanctions caused by changing U.S. and geopolitical policies, may impact our competitive position or adversely impact our margins.

● Risks of borrowing and restrictions on our ability to borrow.

● Our intellectual property could be unenforceable or ineffective.

● We rely on third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business.

● If we are unable to adequately control the costs associated with operating our business, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects will suffer.

● We do not own all of our intellectual property.

● This offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. As a result, we may not be able to raise enough funds to fully implement our business plan and our investors may lose their entire investment.

● Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.

● Because no public trading market for our common stock currently exists, it will be difficult for you to sell the common stock and, if you are able to sell the common stock, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount to the price you paid for the common stock.

● Investors in our common stock will have to assign their voting rights.

● Our Subscription Agreement limits the liability of the proxy.

● Our Subscription Agreement provides the proxy with certain indemnification rights against the investors

● Our sole director and chief executive officer has voting control.

● Management discretion as to use of proceeds.

● The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of New York, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor.

● Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreement.

● We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

● Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment.

● You must keep records of your investment for tax purposes.

**RISK FACTORS**

**Investing in our common stock involves risk. In evaluating us and an investment in the common stock, careful consideration should be given to the following risk factors, in addition to the other information included in this offering circular. Each of these risk factors could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in the common stock. The following is a summary of the risk factors that we currently believe make this offering speculative or substantially risky. We are still subject to all the same risks faced by all companies in our industry, and to which all such companies in the economy are exposed. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events, and technological developments (such as cyber-security). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.**

**<u>Risks Related to Our Business</u>**.

***Our financial statements include a going concern note.***

Our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations, and/or to obtain additional capital financing from investors and/or third parties. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our entry into the US market in 2022 is expected to decrease that risk.

***We depend on certain key personnel and must attract and retain additional talent.***

Our future success depends on the efforts of key personnel and consultants, especially our sole officer and director, Dr. Mark Daniel Farb. As we grow, we will need to attract and hire additional employees in sales, marketing, design, development, operations, finance, legal, human resources, and other areas. Depending on the economic environment and our performance, we may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions when we need them. We may also make hiring mistakes, which can be costly in terms of resources spent in recruiting, hiring, and investing in the incorrect individual and in the time delay in locating the right employee fit. If we are unable to attract, hire, and retain the right talent or make too many hiring mistakes, it is likely that our business will suffer from not having the right employees in the right positions at the right time. This would likely adversely impact the value of your investment.

***The success of our business is highly correlated to general economic conditions.***

Demand for our products is highly correlated with general economic conditions, as a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending, which typically declines during times of economic instability. Declines in economic conditions in the United States or in other countries in which we operate and may operate in the future may adversely impact our financial results. Because such declines in demand are difficult to predict, we or our industry may have increased excess capacity as a result. An increase in excess capacity may result in declines in prices for our products. Our ability to grow or maintain our business may be adversely affected by sustained economic weakness and uncertainty, including the effect of wavering consumer confidence, high unemployment, and other factors. The inability to grow or maintain our business would adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in our common stock.

***Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.***

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our products to our customers and could decrease demand for our products.

In addition, if the intensity and frequency of hurricanes, tornados, and other adverse weather conditions results from global warming, or otherwise, the same could affect the viability of our turbines to withstand such adverse weather in certain markets, which could adversely effect our business.

***Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties.***

The failure of our products to meet our performance estimates may be caused by, among other things, unanticipated technological hurdles, difficulties in manufacturing, changes to design and regulatory hurdles. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our operating performance and results of operations.

***The growth of our business depends on our ability to finance new products.***

We operate in a rapidly changing industry. Technological advances, the introduction of new products and new design and manufacturing techniques could adversely affect our business unless we are able to adapt to the changing conditions. To remain competitive, we must continue to incur significant costs in product development, equipment, facilities and invest in working capital. These costs may increase, resulting in greater fixed costs and operating expenses.

***We face intense competition, and many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do.***

We compete with major international and domestic renewable energy companies, including, GE, Siemens, and Enercon. Some of our current and potential competitors have greater market recognition and customer bases, longer operating histories and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, purchasing, manufacturing, personnel, and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to changing customer demands or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sales of alternative energy products than we can. In addition, many of our competitors are developing and are currently producing products based on new solar energy technologies that may ultimately have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs.

***If our products fail to perform as expected, we may have to recall them and our ability to develop, market and sell our products could be harmed.***

Our products may contain defects in design and manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or that may require repair. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to recall any products in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix any defects in our products prior to their sale. Any product defects or any other failure of our products to perform as expected could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenue, delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, harm to our brand and reputation, and significant warranty and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

***We are exposed to risks associated with product liability claims in the event that the use or installation of our products results in injury or damage.***

Since our products are electricity-delivering devices and our turbines have fast moving blades, it is possible that users or services providers, could be injured or killed by our products, whether by product malfunctions, defects, improper installation or other causes. As a manufacturer of products that are used by consumers, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims or class action suits in the event that the use of the products we sell or install results in injury or damage. Moreover, to the extent that a claim is brought against us we may not have adequate resources in the event of a successful claim against us. The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages and, if our insurance protection is inadequate, to the extent we hold applicable insurance coverage, could require us to make significant payments.

***We could incur substantial costs to comply with environmental, health and safety ("EHS") laws and regulations and to address violations of or liabilities under these requirements.***

Our operations are subject to a variety of EHS laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and sell products governing, among other things, health, safety, pollution and protection of the environment and natural resources, including the use, handling, transportation and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous materials and wastes, as well as emissions and discharges into the environment, including discharges to air, surface water, groundwater and soil, product content, performance and packaging. We cannot guarantee that we have been, or will at all times be, in compliance with such laws and regulations. Changes in existing EHS laws and regulations, or their application, could cause us to incur additional or unexpected costs to achieve or maintain compliance. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations, obtain the necessary permits to operate our business, or comply with the terms and conditions of such permits may subject us to a variety of administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures, including the imposition of civil and criminal sanctions, monetary fines and penalties, remedial obligations, and the issuance of compliance requirements limiting or preventing some or all of our operations. The assertion of claims relating to regulatory compliance, on or off site contamination, natural resource damage, the discovery of previously unknown environmental liabilities, the imposition of criminal or civil fines or penalties and/or other sanctions, or the obligation to undertake investigation, remediation or monitoring activities could result in potentially significant costs and expenditures to address contamination or resolve claims or liabilities. Such costs and expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Under certain circumstances, violation of such EHS laws and regulations could result in us being disqualified from eligibility to receive federal government contracts or subcontracts under the federal government's debarment and suspension system.

We also are subject to laws and regulations that impose liability and cleanup responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Under certain of these laws and regulations, such liabilities can be imposed for cleanup of currently and formerly owned, leased or operated properties, or properties to which hazardous substances or wastes were sent by current or former operators at our current or former facilities, regardless of whether we directly caused the contamination or violated any law at the time of discharge or disposal. The presence of contamination from hazardous substances or wastes could interfere with ongoing operations or adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or use our properties as collateral for financing. We also could be held liable under third-party claims for property damage, natural resource damage or personal injury and for penalties and other damages under such environmental laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our ability to comply with regulatory requirements is critical to our future success, and there can be no guarantee that our businesses are in full compliance with all such requirements.***

As a manufacturer and distributor of wind and other energy industry products we are subject to the requirements of federal, state, local, and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, we are subject to several authorities setting industry standards. Changes in the standards and requirements imposed by such authorities could have a material adverse effect on us. In the event we are unable to meet any such standards when adopted, our businesses could be adversely affected. We may not be able to obtain all regulatory approvals, licenses, and permits that may be required in the future, or any necessary modifications to existing regulatory approvals, licenses and permits, or maintain all required regulatory approvals, licenses and permits. There can be no guarantee that our businesses are fully compliant with such standards and requirements.

***The U.S. wind energy industry is significantly impacted by tax and other economic incentives. A significant change in these incentives could significantly impact our results of operations and growth***.

The U.S. wind energy industry is significantly impacted by federal tax incentives and state Renewable Portfolio Standards ("**RPSs**"), which have provided material incentives to develop wind energy generation facilities and thereby impact the demand for our products. One such federal government program is the production tax credit ("**PTC**"), which provides economic incentives to the owners of wind energy facilities in the form of a tax credit. Despite recent reductions in the cost of wind energy, due to variability in wind quality and consistency, and other regional differences, wind energy may not be economically viable in certain parts of the country absent such incentives. The increased demand for our products that generally results from the credits and incentives could be impacted by the expiration or curtailment of these programs. A new set of incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 have just been released and could affect our finances positively because we sell and manufacture in the US for North America.

***Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, and sanctions caused by changing U.S. and geopolitical policies, may impact our competitive position or adversely impact our margins.***

New tariffs have resulted in increased prices, including with respect to certain steel products, and could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. These tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or trade restrictions that may be implemented by the U.S. or other countries, could result in further increased prices and a decreased available supply of steel and other imported components and inputs. We may not be able to pass price increases on to our customers and may not be able to secure adequate alternative sources of steel on a timely basis.

***Risks of borrowing and restrictions on our ability to borrow.***

We currently have an outstanding loans and may have to seek loans in the future from financial institutions. Typical loan agreements might contain restrictive covenants which may impair our operating flexibility. A default under any loan agreement could result in a charging order that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

***Our intellectual property could be unenforceable or ineffective.***

One of our most valuable assets is our intellectual property. We own or license from Dr. Farb, various patents issued by various jurisdictions, which cover various aspects of our technology. We also license from Dr. Farb various domain names and trademarks, and we hold various trade secrets related to the manufacturing and construction of our turbines. In addition, we plan to explore other opportunities to patent parts of our core technology; however, such patents may never be issued or certain claims may be rejected or may need to be narrowed, which may limit the protection we are attempting to obtain. In addition, companies, organizations, or individuals, including competitors, may hold or obtain patents, trademarks, or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell, or market our products, which would make it more difficult for us to operate our business. These third parties may have applied for, been granted, or obtained patents that relate to intellectual property, which competes with our intellectual property or technology. This may require us to develop or obtain alternative technology, or obtain appropriate licenses under these patents, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Such a circumstance may result in us having to significantly increase development efforts and resources to redesign our technology in order to safeguard our competitive edge against competitors. There is a risk that our means of protecting our intellectual property rights may not be adequate, and weaknesses or failures in this area could adversely affect our business or reputation, financial condition, and/or operating results.

From time to time, we may receive communications from holders of patents or trademarks regarding their proprietary rights. Companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights may bring suits alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise assert their rights and urge us to take licenses. In addition, if we are determined to have infringed upon a third party's intellectual property rights, we may be required to cease deploying our products, pay substantial damages, seek a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, and/or establish and maintain alternative branding for our business. We may also need to file lawsuits to protect our intellectual property rights from infringement from third parties, which could be expensive, time consuming, and distract management's attention from our core operations.

***We rely on third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business.***

We rely on third parties to provide a variety of essential business functions for us, including research and development, engineering, manufacturing, shipping, advertising, retailing, and distribution. It is possible that some of these third parties will fail to perform their services or will perform them in an unacceptable manner. Any significant delays or other complications in maintaining our research and development partners, third party manufacturers, or manufacturing our products, including, but not limited to, complications associated with production or supply chain, or regulatory approvals, or any disruptions or failures to maintain our relationships, could materially damage our brand, business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. There is currently a risk that the coronavirus outbreak in countries around the world may disrupt parts supply. We intend to mitigate this risk through inventory and supply chain management practices.

***If we are unable to adequately control the costs associated with operating our business, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects will suffer.***

If we are unable to maintain a sufficiently low level of costs for manufacturing, marketing, selling, and distributing our products relative to their selling prices, our operating results, gross margins, business, and prospects could be materially and adversely impacted. Many of the factors that impact our operating costs are beyond our control. If we are unable to keep our operating costs aligned with the level of revenues we generate, our operating results, business and prospects will be harmed.

***We do not own all of our intellectual property.***

We have a royalty free license to use certain patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights from Dr. Farb, all of them pursuant to a 20 year, royalty free, world-wide, exclusive license, and an assignment to Leviathan Energy Wind Lotus, Ltd. Therefore, our investors will not receive any benefits associated with the ownership of such intellectual property rights. Although our license has a term of 20 years, if we were to default under the license agreement and lose our ability to use these patents, trademarks and other intellectual property, it would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects, and you could lose your investment.

**<u>Risks Related to the Offering of our Common Stock</u>**.

***This offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. As a result, we may not be able to raise enough funds to fully implement our business plan and our investors may lose their entire investment.***

We are offering common stock in the amount of up to $12,000,000 in this offering (plus a processing fee of $0.42 per share which each investor shall pay directly to StartEngine Primary), but may sell much less. The Offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations as planned, and our growth opportunities may be materially adversely affected. Even if we raise the maximum amount we are seeking in this offering, we may need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if we cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons outside our control, such as another significant downturn in the economy, we may not survive.

***Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.***

Even if we are successful in this offering, we may need to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the future. Your rights and the value of your investment in the common stock could be reduced. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. Preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock, including, but not limited to, having dividend and liquidation preferences. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of equity securities, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of your investment.

***Because no public trading market for our common stock currently exists, it will be difficult for you to sell the common stock and, if you are able to sell the common stock, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount to the price you paid for the common stock.***

While our common stock has registered to be listed on StartEngine Secondary, we have not yet commenced such listing, and therefore, there is no public trading market. In addition, we may never commence such listing, and if we do, we may terminate such listing at any time. Even if we commence such listing, an active public trading market may never develop. Until the common stock is listed on an exchange on which there is an active trading market, if ever, you may not be able to sell your common stock, unless through a private sale in which the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your common stock promptly or at all. If you can sell your common stock, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount to the price you paid for the common stock.

***Investors in our common stock will have to assign their voting rights.***

The holders of common stock issued in this offering will grant an irrevocable voting proxy to our chief executive officer (the "**Proxy**"), that will limit their ability to vote their common stock until the occurrence of certain events specified in the proxy, which may never occur. The inability of the holders of common stock issued in this offering to vote their common stock, and the provision of a voting proxy to our chief executive officer, could have an anti-takeover effect as a potential acquirer may wish to call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of considering the removal of directors or an acquisition offer, in which case the investors would not have the right to vote in favor of the same.

***Our Subscription Agreement limits the liability of the proxy.***

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, other than with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Proxy, the Proxy will not be liable for any actions he/she takes or fails to take, in his/her capacity as the Proxy, while acting in good faith. Therefore, if the Proxy takes actions or omits to take actions which investors deem to be not in their best interests, as long as such actions do not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the Proxy is acting in good faith, the investors would not have any recourse against the Proxy.

***Our Subscription Agreement provides the proxy with certain indemnification rights against the investors***

Under the Subscription Agreement, except to the extent prohibited by applicable federal and state securities laws, each investor agrees to indemnify the Proxy from all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with any act done or omitted in the Proxy's capacity as representative of such investor, in each case as such losses are suffered or incurred. While it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable, and it is uncertain whether a court would enforce such provision, if it did, investors in this offering could have indemnification obligations to the Proxy.

***Our sole director and chief executive officer has voting control.***

As of the date of this Offering Circular, Dr. Mark Daniel Farb our sole executive officer and director, holds over 70% of our common stock, and via voting proxies, holds substantially all voting power. As a result, Dr. Farb is able to control our management and affairs and most matters requiring stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power could have an anti-takeover effect as a potential acquirer may wish to call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of considering the removal of directors or an acquisition offer, in which case the investors would not have the right to vote in favor of the same.

***Management discretion as to use of proceeds.***

Our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of our management team with respect to the application and allocation of the proceeds of this offering. The use of proceeds described herein is an estimate based on our current business plan. We, however, may find it necessary or advisable to re-allocate portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.

***The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of New York, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor.***

***Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreement.***

Investors in this offering will be bound by the subscription agreement, which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against the company arising out of or relating to the agreement, including any claims made under the federal securities laws. By signing the agreement, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor's jury trial rights following consultation with the investor's legal counsel.

If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of New York, which governs the agreement, by a federal or state court in the State of New York. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement.

***We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.***

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

***Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment.***

Investors in this offering have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy and would be in addition to the StartEngine Primary processing fee. See "Plan of Distribution." The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. These increased costs may reduce the return on your investment.

The SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

***You must keep records of your investment for tax purposes.***

As with all investments in securities, if you sell the common stock, you will probably need to pay tax on the long- or short-term capital gains that you realize if you make a profit, and record any loss to apply it to other taxable income. If you do not have a regular brokerage account, or your regular broker will not hold the common stock for you (and many brokers refuse to hold Regulation A securities for their customers) there will be nobody keeping records for you for tax purposes and you will have to keep your own records, and calculate the gain on any sales of the stock you sell. If you fail to keep accurate records or accurately calculate any gain on any sales of the stock, you may be subject to tax audits and penalties.

**DILUTION**

Dilution means a reduction in value, control, or earnings of the common stock an investor owns.

*Immediate dilution*

An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their "sweat equity" into the company. Occasionally, strategic partners are also interested in investing at an early stage. When the company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders, early employees, or investors from prior financings, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because each share of the same type is worth the same amount, and you paid more for your shares than earlier investors did for theirs. Dilution may also be caused by pricing securities at a value higher than book value or expenses incurred in the offering.

The following table demonstrates the price that new investors are paying for their common stock with the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders. The table presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to our insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the Commission requires.

*Future dilution*

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor's stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock. In other words, when the company issues more securities, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round, or angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

If we decide to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors mostly occurs when the company sells more shares, or other equity securities in a "down round," meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):

● In May 2019, Ben invests $20,000 in shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million.

● In December, the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Ben now owns only 1.3% of the company but his stake is worth $200,000.

● In May 2020, the company has run into serious problems and, in order to stay afloat, it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the "down round"). Ben now owns only 0.89% of the company and his stake is worth only $26,660.

This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes, stock options or warrants into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a "discount" to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a "price cap" on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a "down round," the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do because they get more shares for their money.

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of our capital stock or expecting each share of common stock to hold a certain amount of value, it's important to realize how the value of the common stock can decrease by actions taken by us. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

**Plan of Distribution**

The company is offering up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock, plus up to 250,000 additional shares of common stock eligible to be issued as Bonus Shares to investors based upon an investor's investment level and whether an investor is an existing investor, as described in this Offering Circular. No additional consideration will be received by the company for the issuance of Bonus Shares and the company will absorb the cost of the issuance of the Bonus Shares. The maximum offering amount is $12,000,000. The cash price per share of common stock is $12.00 and the minimum investment is $600.00 (50 shares).

The company intends to market the shares in this offering both through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of soliciting potential investors through various channels of online and electronic media whereby the Offering Circular may be delivered contemporaneously and posting "testing the waters" materials or the Offering Circular on an online investment platform.

The company's Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors in this offering via download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on the website operated by StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc.

The offering will terminate at the earliest of: (1) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold, (2) the date which is three years from this offering being qualified by the Commission, and (3) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the company in its sole discretion. At least every 12 months after this offering has been qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the company will file a post-qualification amendment to include the company's recent financial statements.

The company may undertake one or more closings on an ongoing basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the company. After the initial closing of this offering, the company expects to hold closings on at least a monthly basis.

The company is offering its securities in all states.

**Commissions, Discounts, Expenses and Fees**

The following table shows the total discounts, commissions and fees payable to StartEngine Primary in connection with this offering, assuming this offering is fully subscribed:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| StartEngine processing fee paid by investors to StartEngine (1) | $420000 |
| StartEngine commission paid by the company to StartEngine (2) | $420000 |
| Value of Shares issued to StartEngine (3) | $240000 |
| StartEngine out of pocket expenses paid by the company (4) | $15000 |
| Total: | $1095000 |

---

(1) Investors will be required to pay directly to StartEngine Primary a processing fee equal to 3.5% of the investment amount at the time of the investors' subscription.

(2) StartEngine Primary will receive commissions paid by the company of 3.5% of the offering proceeds.

(3) StartEngine Primary will be issued the number of shares of common stock equal to 2% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering (excluding Bonus Shares), rounded to the nearest whole share. Assuming the company raises the maximum amount in this offering, it would issue 20,000 shares of common stock to StartEngine Primary, valued at $240,000.

(4) The company will also pay $15,000 to StartEngine Primary for out-of-pocket accountable expenses paid prior to commencing. This fee will be used for the purpose of coordinating filings with regulators and conducting a compliance review of the company's offering. Any portion of this amount not expended and accounted for will be returned to the company.

Assuming the full amount of the offering is raised, the company estimates that the total value of the commissions, discounts, expense and fees of the offering payable or owed by the company and the investors to StartEngine Primary will be approximately $915,000. No fees or commissions will be paid with respect to the issuance of Bonus Shares in this offering.

The company will pay a cash commission of 3.5% to StartEngine Primary on sales of the common stock, and the company will issue StartEngine Primary a number of shares of common stock equal to 2% of the common stock sold through StartEngine Primary (excluding Bonus Shares). The company will also pay a $15,000 advance fee for reasonable accountable out of pocket expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by StartEngine Primary. Any unused portion of this fee not actually incurred by StartEngine Primary will be returned to the company. FINRA fees will be paid by the company. This does not include processing fees paid directly to StartEngine Primary by investors. StartEngine Primary will charge you a non-refundable processing fee equal to 3.5% of the amount you invest at the time you subscribe for our securities. The processing fee shall not exceed $700 for any investor.

StartEngine Primary, LLC will comply with Lock-Up Restriction required by FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), not selling, transferring, assigning, pledging, or hypothecating or subjecting such to any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities commission for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of the public equity offering with respect to the Securities Commission, unless FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2) applies. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), StartEngine Primary will not accept a securities commission in options, warrants or convertibles which violates 5110(g) including but not limited to (a) is exercisable or convertible more than five years from the commencement of sales of the public offering; (b) has more than one demand registration right at the issuer's expense; (c) has a demand registration right with a duration of more than five years from the commencement of sales of the public offering; (d) has a piggyback registration right with a duration of more than seven years from the commencement of sales of the public offering; (e) has anti-dilution terms that allow the participating members to receive more shares or to exercise at a lower price than originally agreed upon at the time of the public offering, when the public shareholders have not been proportionally affected by a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar event; or (f) has anti-dilution terms that allow the participating members to receive or accrue cash dividends prior to the exercise or conversion of the security.

**Escrow Agent**

We have entered into an Escrow Services Agreement with Bryn Mar Trust Company of Delaware LLC (the "**Escrow Agent**"), which can be found in Exhibit 8.1 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part. Investor funds will be held by the Escrow Agent pending closing or termination of the offering. All subscribers will be instructed by us or our agents to transfer funds by wire, credit or debit card, or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. We may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at our sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving shares; escrowed funds may be returned.

The Escrow Agent is not participating as an underwriter, placement agent or sales agent of this offering and will not solicit any investments, recommend our securities, distribute this Offering Circular or other offering materials to investors or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, and no communication through any medium, including any website, should be construed as such. The use of the Escrow Agent's technology should not be interpreted and is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation by it of us or this offering. All inquiries regarding this offering or escrow should be made directly to us.

For its services, the Escrow Agent will receive an escrow cash management fee in the amount of $100.00 for each disbursement after the first four, plus an annual fee of $750.00.

**No Minimum Offering Amount**

The shares being offered will be issued in one or more closings. No minimum number of shares must be sold before a closing can occur. Potential investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that any other funds will be invested in this offering other than their own funds. See "Risk Factors - This offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised."

**Investors' Tender of Funds**

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, we will accept tenders of funds to purchase whole shares. We will conduct multiple closings on investments (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Each time we accept funds transferred from the Escrow Agent is defined as a "Closing." The funds tendered by potential investors will be held by the Escrow Agent and will be transferred to us at each Closing.

**Subscription Procedures**

Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via wire, credit or debit card, or ACH only, checks will not be accepted, to the escrow account to be setup by the Escrow Agent. Tendered funds will remain in escrow until a closing has occurred. StartEngine Crowdfunding will assist with the facilitation of credit and debit card payments through the Online Platform. The company estimates that processing fees for credit card subscriptions will be approximately 4% of total funds invested per transaction, although credit card processing fees may fluctuate. The company intends to pay these fees and will reimburse StartEngine Crowdfunding for transaction fees and return fees that it incurs for returns and chargebacks. The company estimates that approximately 100% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering will be paid via credit card. This assumption was used in estimating the payment processing fees included in the total offering expenses set forth in "Use of Proceeds." Upon a closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company for its use.

In order to invest you will be required to subscribe to the offering via the Online Platform and agree to the terms of the offering, Subscription Agreement, and any other relevant exhibit attached thereto. Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest.

**Introduction**

We design, manufacture, and sell small vertical axis wind turbines, which, compared with current small drag-type wind turbines, are more aerodynamically efficient, emit less noise and vibrations, and are aesthetically designed. We have solved the aerodynamic blade design issues that plague many of our competitors' wind turbines. Our goal is to make our sleek, innovative, and efficient small wind turbines the foundation of a large global renewable energy company. We currently offer, one, three, and six-meter high versions of our wind turbines, that can produce power ranging from tens of watts to up to 5,000 watts. We are starting to develop our own wind turbine electronics for both our turbines and eventually others.

![](tm2229852d2_ptiiandiiiimg02.jpg)

In the EU, we are actively selling charging systems in the electric mobility vertical which include stationary poles, outdoor benches, and workstations, which can charge electric bicycles and scooters and other products such as mobile phones. The charging poles are on-grid and off-grid with solar alone or our wind turbines and solar together.

![](tm2229852d2_ptiiandiiiimg03.jpg)

**<u>The Current Problem</u>**

Producing clean energy in or near cities is challenging. Solar energy can be inefficient and expensive in areas without a good solar resource. As a result of the size, weight, vibrational and noise output, and aesthetic appearance of most current wind energy producing devices on the market, their installation and operation in urban and suburban settings, including parking lots and on building rooftops, is impractical or prohibited by zoning laws. In addition, in largely populated areas, the high-speed rotation of windmill blades poses safety and environmental concerns for both humans and wildlife. Where solar is more efficient, adding wind helps to balance the grid, with power at different times of the day and may lead to the need for fewer batteries.

**<u>Our Solution</u>**

We have designed small and efficient wind turbines that overcome many of these barriers, making the operation, production, and use of wind energy in urban and suburban settings viable. Our turbines offer the following advantages over many of the competing products on the market:

● Small design

● Significantly higher efficiency

● Ability to cluster to reduce cost per unit installation through efficiencies of scale and obtain more energy per square meter

● Low starting speed

● Different sizes for different environments and spaces

● Lower noise and vibration

● Lower maintenance due to lower vibration

● Beautiful and kinetic tulip design

● Significantly lower rotational speed making them safer for humans and animals

We are currently working on various wind turbine innovations that could substantially reduce the cost of turbines, particularly in electronics and installations. We have begun to file patents in this area and it is an additional potential growth area for the company.

![](tm2229852d2_ptiiandiiiimg04.jpg)

**The turbines come in different sizes. The red and white turbines in the illustration are a total of 3 meters high. The turbines are also available in heights of 1 and 6 meters. The black turbine depicted above has blades that are 1 meter high, and the pole height is adjustable.**

**<u>Our Technology</u>**

The efficiency and size of our turbines primarily results from aerodynamic science that increases the efficiency of vertical axis drag-type turbines. Our designs and technology, are the subject of various US and international patents, cover the following art:

● Through segmenting parts of the blade's trailing edge according to a specific formula, our design reduces aerodynamic interference on the trailing edge of the turbine after the wind strikes the blade, resulting in an increase in efficiency.

● Through our tapered design of different degrees of cupping at different heights, which is different from the typical semicircular cup turbine, wind can enter the cups at more angles, making it easier for the turbine to begin spinning from many different wind directions.

● Our drag vertical axis design has a cluster effect, whereby one turbine creates a wind tunnel at a specific distance from the blades that increases the velocity of the wind entering the adjacent turbine if placed within that stream, which, according to preliminary tests, increases power output by 20-50% when two turbines are properly positioned.

![](tm2229852d2_ptiiandiiiimg05.jpg)

● Fluid dynamics in our designs combines internal air space, blade overlap, blade extension, blade diameter, and tip speed ratios, in a manner that we believe makes our turbines more efficient than other small wind turbines on the market. The blades and shaft have optimized air space ratios for greater efficiency so the wind is accelerated internally after it hits the first blade and before it recirculates and hits the second blade.

● Our patent pending process for adding an aerodynamic spoiler to rooftops on which our wind turbines are installed ameliorates the problem of the building's vertical surface which has the effect of scattering the wind force.

In addition, our turbines can reduce transmission cost, through balancing the energy grid load at times when solar systems are not generating power, thereby decreasing the operational cost while increasing power production.

**<u>Research and Development</u>**

We have been through several cycles of research and development, including computer simulation, patent development, and engineering. Our research and development activities are conducted mostly in the US, and some in Israel and the Netherlands, both internally and with the assistance of high-level external engineers, an academic institution, and engineering agencies to assure our products comply with applicable regulations. Research and development is an important ongoing activity as we are now developing new electronics and rooftop installation products.

**<u>The Market</u>**

The global Small Wind Turbines market size is expected to gain market growth in the forecast period of 2020 to 2025, with a CAGR of 17.4% in the forecast period of 2020 to 2025 and is expected to reach USD $316.7 million by 2025, from USD $166.6 million in 2019. <u>https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/small-wind-turbines-market-size-growing-at-174-cagr-to-hit-usd-3167-million-by-2025-2020-08-18</u>. Flower Turbines is clearly in a high growth market and has the opportunity to increase the size of that market and its growth rate by specifically targeting the underserved markets of location close to people and close to or on buildings because of the combination of quiet and efficiency. Small wind turbines comprise a wide range of wind turbines ranging from micro turbines, to residential turbines and mini turbines. The wind turbines used in these end use applications have power ratings ranging from a few watts to 1,000 watts. Small wind turbines include wind turbines up to 15 meters in diameter. Although vertical axis wind turbines have witnessed rapid growth in the <u>global small wind power market</u>, most of the small wind turbines currently on the market, are conventional horizontal axis wind turbines.

With its innovative technology, Flower Turbines aims to change the growth trajectory of the market.

The market for renewable energy is rapidly growing. Small turbines are projected to hit a compound annual growth rate of almost 10% over the next five years, and annual revenue from the small turbine sector is projected to reach $400M in 2024, growing 42.5% in just five years. Bloomberg predicts (<u>https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/2019/06/20/bloomberg-predicts-wind-and-solar-will-power-half-the-world-and-bag-9-trillion-investment/</u>) that wind and solar will power half the world's grid by 2050 and receive $9 trillion of investment.

The passage of the Green Deal in Europe and legislation in the US are opportunities for the company to grow even faster.

The microgrid market is growing and project managers often want wind to supplement the solar they are using as a base because wind is often available when solar is not.

The charging station market depends on sales of electric bicycles and scooters. A recent report from Deloitte estimates that 300 million electric bikes will be on the world's roads by 2023, which is 50% more than today. See <u>https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/insights/us/articles/722835_tmt-predictions-2020/DI_TMT-Prediction-2020.pdf</u>.

![](tm2229852d2_ptiiandiiiimg12.jpg)

Wind is very available in many parts of the world. We advocate using a combination of both wind and solar in order to provide better coverage over 24 hours. In areas such as Texas where wind is more frequent at night, the proportion of solar to wind might be higher for a particular building. The following is a conceptual illustration of how solar and wind could work together:

![](tm2229852d2_ptiiandiiiimg13.jpg)

**<u>Competition</u>**

We compete with other manufacturers of wind turbines, and other alternative energy providers such as solar technology. We believe that our turbines provide more than economic value for the customers—something that was often missing with other small turbines. Because we created so many innovative technologies, we believe that we compete more with the grid than with other small turbines. Large turbines are more cost-effective but what counts for a consumer is the cost by the time it reaches them, and that is where we compete.

**<u>Marketing and Sales</u>**

We have built an in-house sales and marketing team to sell our turbines and charging stations directly and are seeking partnerships with resellers. We are exploring developing a leasing program similar to those commonly used in the solar industry.

We intend to focus marketing our wind turbines in selected markets in the United States and abroad characterized by high winds and high electricity prices, such as the east and west coasts of the United States, the Midwest, Hawaii and the North Sea and Baltic Sea adjacent countries in Europe. We intend to focus marketing our power stations in flat areas of Europe, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark, and in other cities worldwide.

**<u>Manufacturing</u>**

We have begun manufacturing certain components and assembling certain products in our facility in Lubbock, Texas. We are starting to produce some of our own wind turbine electronics starting with charge controllers. We plan to develop this into a related business in which we sell our electronics to other wind turbine companies. We also outsource manufacturing and assembly to various manufacturers located in the Netherlands.

**<u>Employees</u>**

We currently have eight full time and three part-time employees, and various contractors in the United States. Flower Turbines B.V., our Netherlands subsidiary, has two full-time employees and three part-time employees. We also use various independent contractors for engineering, project management, marketing, sales, and administrative services.

**<u>Government Regulation</u>**

We are subject to various federal, state, and foreign governmental regulations related to manufacturing, marketing and sale of our products, such as health and safety codes, environmental laws and zoning laws.

*Occupational Safety and Health Administration*

Our operations are subject to regulation of health and safety matters by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. We believe that we take appropriate precautions to protect our employees and third parties from workplace injuries and harmful exposure to materials handled and managed at our facilities. However, claims asserted in the future against the Company for work-related injury or illnesses could increase our costs.

*Environmental*

Our operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Although it is our objective to maintain compliance with these laws and regulations, it may not be possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that we may undertake in the future.

*Tax Incentives*

The U.S. wind energy industry is significantly impacted by federal tax incentives, which have provided material incentives to develop wind energy generation facilities and thereby impact the demand for our products. One such federal government program is the production tax credit ("**PTC**"), which provides economic incentives to the owners of wind energy facilities in the form of a tax credit. Wind energy may not be economically viable in certain parts of the country absent such incentives. The increased demand for our products that generally results from the credits and incentives could be impacted by the expiration or curtailment of these programs.

*Certifications*

Certain tax credits available to purchasers of our products, depend on having third party certification of the turbines' power curve over a 6-month period by certain accredited organizations. We are tentatively planning to seek such certification. The inverter, which allows the electricity to be synchronized with the grid, usually requires UL certification for on-grid uses. Off the shelf products with UL certification are available. One of our charging products has already received CE certification and we believe others will shortly follow.

Certain countries offer benefits for certification of turbines. An independent body measures the turbine's output at different wind speeds for 6 months and creates a power curve of wind speed versus power output. While there are significant expenses in obtaining such certifications, the benefits include access to government subsidies or tax deductions for the turbines. These regulations can change every year.

**<u>Intellectual Property</u>**

We hold or license an aggregate of 41 patents, patent applications and provisional patent applications, issued by various jurisdictions, 18 of which are issued patents. We also own or license various domain names and trademarks or trademark applications, in various jurisdictions, which include "Flower Turbines", "Flower Power", "Tulip Power," "Wind Tulip," "Charge To Go," "Bitulip," "Tritulip". We also hold various copyrights, as well as trade secrets related to the manufacturing and construction of our turbines. See "Risk Factors - Our intellectual property could be unenforceable or ineffective."

**<u>Property</u>**

We lease approximately 6,289 square feet of office space at 2601 SE Loop 289, in Lubbock Texas, pursuant to a 36 month lease which commenced on March 1, 2022. Our base rent is $2,955 per month for the first 12 months, $3,014 per month for the second 12 months and $3,076 for the third twelve months. We also have a three-year lease for an approximately 170 square foot office at a shared office space located at 670 Long Beach Blvd., Suite 201, in Long Beach, New York. We also lease warehouse space at RDM, Scheepsbouwweg 8, C4, Innovation Dock, 3089JW Rotterdam, Netherlands, in exchange for approximately $4,000 per month. We also lease a 625 square foot office space in Lawrence, New York for $788 per month. The lease term commenced November 1, 2019 and expires on October 31, 2023

**<u>Legal Proceedings</u>**

In March 2022, we filed a lawsuit against Universal Energy Inc. and Ventana Tek, LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging infringement on one of our patents.

The increase in net loss for the 2022 Interim Period, is primarily a result of increased operating expenses during the 2022 Interim Period related to the expansion of our operations.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Since our inception, we have raised over $11,000,000 through various securities offerings, which we have used for operations, including, approximately $2,100,000 from Regulation CF Campaigns, and approximately $8,900,000 through our Regulation A+ offering. As of June 30, 2022, we had total current assets in the amount of $3,933,035 consisting of $220,673 in cash, $27,862 in prepaid expenses, $191,243 in accounts receivables, $155,499 in other assets, $597,407 in inventory and $2,428,392 in investments. As of December 31, 2021, we had total current assets in the amount of $5,164,702 consisting of $2,350,678 in cash, $78,224 in prepaid expenses, $133,151 in accounts receivables, $131,097 in other assets, and $139,230 in inventory. The $2,428,392 in investments represent money market accounts. The substantial decrease in cash as of June 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, is primarily the result of investment in the business and operating expenses while not fund raising.

As of June 30, 2022, and excluding any future proceeds raised in our current Regulation A+ offering, we had sufficient operating capital to fund our operations through April 2023.

As of June 30, 2022, we had total liabilities in the amount of $427,306 compared to $549,737 in total liabilities as of December 31, 2021.

We will incur significant additional costs in commercializing our products, including, but not limited to, in production, marketing, sales and customer service, and intend to continue to fund our operations through funds received from this Offering. We may also engage in additional debt and/or equity financings as determined to be necessary. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Accordingly, our independent auditors report includes a paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We anticipate we can operate our business for 6-12 months without any additional infusions of capital, and intend to raise additional capital under crowdfunding offerings, equity or debt issuances, or any other method available to us.

As of December 31, 2021, we had total liabilities in the amount of $549,737, compared to $275,417 in total liabilities as of December 31, 2020. The increase in total liabilities, primarily resulted from an increase in our accounts payables and accrued expenses.

**Debt**

In November 2019, Flower Turbines B.V., our subsidiary, entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Rabobank, pursuant to which two installments were advanced having in the aggregate principal amount of $56,135, and which matures in 84 months.

The total unpaid principal balances on the loans were $55,934 as of December 31, 2021.

**Plan of Operations**

We are investing in the continued growth of our brand and are seeking to hit the following milestones during 2022:

● Launch of small, medium, and large sized wind turbines in the United States.

● EU$500,000 in revenue from sales by Flower Turbines B.V., in the European Union.

● US$500,000 in revenue from sales of small turbines in the United States.

● US$1,000,000 in revenue from exports of turbines outside of the United States.

● Increase concentration of sales in the EU time by adding salespeople and their support and outsourcing all production with drop shipping

● Developing projects to sell electricity as well as turbines.

The extent to which we will be able to complete the milestones outlined above is dependent upon the success of our marketing efforts and our utilization of cash.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 (audited) and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and June 30, 2021 (unaudited)**

**FLOWER TURBINES, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 (audited) and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and June 30, 2021 (unaudited)** 

<u>Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts</u>

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company carried receivables of $191,243 and $133,151, respectively and no allowances against such.

<u>Inventory & Shipping and Handling Costs</u>

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and accounted for using the specific identification method. The inventory balances as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 consist of finished goods held for sale.

<u>Property and Equipment</u>

The Company has a policy to capitalize expenditures with useful lives in excess of one year and costs exceeding $1,000 as property and equipment and depreciates such assets on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives (5 years). The Company's property and equipment is assessed annually for indications of impairment. The Company's property and equipment are recorded at costs of $170,731 and $48,289 and are presented net of accumulated depreciation of $11,564 and $7,709 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Depreciation expense of $3,855 and $1,704 were recorded for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

<u>Deferred Offering Costs</u>

The Company complies with the requirement of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1. Prior to the completion of the offering these costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs are charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the offering. There were no deferred offerings costs capitalized to the balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

<u>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</u> 

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate their fair value.

<u>Concentrations of Credit Risk</u>

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of its cash. The Company will place its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit- worthiness and has a policy to not carry a balance in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

<u>Basic Income/(Loss) per Common Share</u>

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

<u>Revenue Recognition</u>

ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

**FLOWER TURBINES, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 (audited) and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and June 30, 2021 (unaudited)** 

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.

Each product sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recorded at the point in time when products are installed as the Company has determined that this is the point that control transfers to the customer. The Company invoices customers upon delivery of the products, and payments from such customers are due upon invoicing. Revenues are recognized on these arrangements after the units are produced and fulfilled to the customers, and all other revenue recognition criteria are achieved.

<u>Research and Development</u>

The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred.

<u>Advertising Costs</u>

The Company's policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, *Income Taxes*. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions.

The Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current period and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized in the immediate future.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 (audited) and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and June 30, 2021 (unaudited)** 

From its inception until December 26, 2019, at which time the LLC was converted to a corporation, the Company was subject to taxation as a limited liability company, and therefore was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and/or benefits of the Company being passed through to the members. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Company have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during that period.

For the period after the December 26, 2019 conversion to a corporation, the Company was taxed as a corporation. The Company estimates it will have a net operating loss carryforward of $2,460,012 as of June 30, 2022. The Company pays federal and New York income taxes at a combined effective rate of approximately 26% and has used this effective rate to derive a net deferred tax asset of $639,603 as of June 30, 2022, resulting from its net operating loss carryforward. Due to uncertainty as to the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero. The 2021 tax returns have not yet been filed as of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. All tax periods since inception remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

<u>Foreign Currency</u>

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, ("USD"), which is the reporting currency and the functional currency of the Company's U.S. operations. The functional currency for the Subsidiary is its local currency. In accordance with ASC 830, *Foreign Currency Matters*, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their USD equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses were translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the foreign currency translation gain and loss was $98,357 and ($43,588), respectively.

**NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not yet generate profits since inception, has sustained losses of $1,339,629 and $964,193 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and has negative cash flows from operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and the Company is reliant on continual financing.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to obtain capital financing from investors sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such capital to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to raise capital as needed to satisfy it liquidity needs through its Regulation Crowdfunding offering in 2022 and increasing its sales. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 (audited) and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (unaudited) and June 30, 2021 (unaudited)** 

**NOTE 7: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, *Leases* (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

**NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CONCENTRATIONS**

The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company also has unknown impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

**NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

<u>Management's Evaluation</u>

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 21, 2022, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Based on the evaluation, no additional material events were identified which require adjustment or disclosure.

**Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements**

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

&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;· Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit.

&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;· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

&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;· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant
to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of Flower Turbines, Inc. 's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

&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;· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.

&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;· Conclude, whether, in our judgment, there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Flower Turbines, Inc.'s ability to continue
as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

**FLOWER TURBINES, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years then ended**

**NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS**

Flower Turbines, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively the "Company"), is a corporation formed under the laws of Delaware. The Company was originally incorporated as a New York limited liability company on September 25, 2013 under the name Flower Turbines, LLC. The LLC converted to a Delaware corporation on December 26, 2019. The Company develops unique designs for wind turbines. On March 27, 2019 Flower Turbines B.V. (the "Subsidiary") was formed in the Netherlands. Flower Turbines B.V. is a 96% owned subsidiary of the Company and was formed for the sale, installation, and development of sustainable energy solutions inside Europe.

**NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

<u>Basis of Presentation and Basis for Consolidation</u>

The Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). These consolidated financial statements include all accounts of Flower Turbines, Inc., along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Flower Turbines B.V. All transactions and balances between and among the aforementioned companies have been eliminated in consolidating the accounts for consolidated financial statement presentation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP. The Company adopted the calendar year as its basis of reporting.

<u>Basis of Presentation</u>

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company has adopted the calendar year as its basis of reporting.

<u>Use of Estimates</u>

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

<u>Noncontrolling Interests</u>

Noncontrolling interests represents minority owners' share of net income or losses and equity in the Company's majority-owned consolidated subsidiary. During 2019, the Company owned 88% of the subsidiary, in 2020, the Company acquired an additional 8% of the subsidiary, and in June 2022 acquired an additional 4% of the subsidiary, at which time it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

<u>Cash Equivalents</u>

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

See accompanying Independent Auditor's Report

**FLOWER TURBINES, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years then ended**

<u>Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts</u>

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company carried receivables of $133,151 and $8,560, respectively and no allowances against such.

<u>Inventory & Shipping and Handling Costs</u>

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and accounted for using the specific identification method. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $64,448 of inventory in transit and the remainder consisted of finished goods held for sale. The inventory balance as of December 31, 2020 consisted entirely of finished goods held for sale.

<u>Property and Equipment</u>

The Company has a policy to capitalize expenditures with useful lives in excess of one year and costs exceeding $1,000 as property and equipment and depreciates such assets on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives (5 years). The Company's property and equipment is assessed annually for indications of impairment. The Company's property and equipment are recorded at costs of $48,289 and $12,492 and are presented net of accumulated depreciation of $7,709 and $1,362 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Depreciation expense of $11,322 and $5,363 were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

<u>Deferred Offering Costs</u>

The Company complies with the requirement of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1. Prior to the completion of the offering these costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs are charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the offering. There were no deferred offerings costs capitalized to the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

<u>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</u>

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

See accompanying Independent Auditor's Report

**FLOWER TURBINES, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years then ended**

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate their fair value.

<u>Concentrations of Credit Risk</u>

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of its cash. The Company will place its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit- worthiness and has a policy to not carry a balance in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

<u>Basic Income/(Loss) per Common Share</u>

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

Company's management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held funds in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

<u>Revenue Recognition</u>

ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years then ended**

Each product sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recorded at the point in time when products are installed as the Company has determined that this is the point that control transfers to the customer. The Company invoices customers upon delivery of the products, and payments from such customers are due upon invoicing.

46% and 32% of revenue came from 2 customers during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $146,912 and $94,707 of deferred revenue were recorded, respectively. The $94,707 of deferred revenue was recognized as revenue in the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenues are recognized on these arrangements after the units are produced and fulfilled to the customers, and all other revenue recognition criteria are achieved. Substantially, all revenue recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were for sales through the subsidiary.

<u>Research and Development</u>

The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred.

<u>Advertising Costs</u>

The Company's policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, *Income Taxes*. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions.

The Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current period and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized in the immediate future.

See accompanying Independent Auditor's Report

**FLOWER TURBINES, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years then ended**

From its inception until December 26, 2019, at which time the LLC was converted to a corporation, the Company was subject to taxation as a limited liability company, and therefore was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and/or benefits of the Company being passed through to the members. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Company have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during that period.

For the period after the December 26, 2019 conversion to a corporation, the Company was taxed as a corporation. The Company estimates it will have a net operating loss carryforward of $1,022,025 as of December 31, 2021. The Company pays federal and New York income taxes at a combined effective rate of approximately 26% and has used this effective rate to derive a net deferred tax asset of $265,727 as of December 31, 2021, resulting from its net operating loss carryforward. Due to uncertainty as to the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero, there was no net operating loss recorded for December 31, 2021. The 2021 tax returns have not yet been filed as of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. All tax periods since inception remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

<u>Foreign Currency</u>

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, ("USD"), which is the reporting currency and the functional currency of the Company's U.S. operations. The functional currency for the Subsidiary is its local currency. In accordance with ASC 830, *Foreign Currency Matters*, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their USD equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses were translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the foreign currency translation loss was $40,133 and $14,629, respectively.

**NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not yet generated profits since inception, has sustained losses of $3,141,666 and $1,118,243 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and has negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively and the Company is reliant on continual financing.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to utilize existing fundraising capital to increase sales and obtain capital financing from investors sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such capital to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to raise capital as needed to satisfy it liquidity needs through its Regulation Crowdfunding offering in 2022 and increasing its sales. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. Due to the conclusion of the 2021 crowdfunding, the Company has sufficient capital to maintain operations without sales for 12 months from the balance sheet date, but the ability to turn this runway into a going concern raises some doubt. As of the report date, the Company has raised $4 million and expects it can function for 12 months without funding or profits from sales. The BV is currently making sales although operating at a loss and the US company plans on commencing sales in July 2022. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**NOTE 8: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, *Leases* (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet.

The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

**NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CONCENTRATIONS**

The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company also has unknown impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

**NOTE 10: RECLASSIFICATION**

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

**NOTE 11: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

<u>Management's Evaluation</u>

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through July 20, 2022, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Based on the evaluation, no additional material events were identified which require adjustment or disclosure other than those below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10. INDEMNIFICATION**.

&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) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless StartEngine, each selling group participant, and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls StartEngine or such selling group participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each an "**Indemnified Party**"), from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages, joint or several (including any and all investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto)), to which it, or any of them, may become subject under the Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Company in Section 6 of this Agreement, or (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless in the exercise of reasonable care the Company could not have known of such untruth or omission, contained in (1) any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, (3) any Testing-the-Waters Communication or (4) any application or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, executed by the Company based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed with the Commission or any securities association or securities exchange (each, an "**Application**"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises from the sale of the Shares in the offering to any person and is based solely on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Indemnified Party through StartEngine expressly for inclusion in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Final Offering Circular, or Testing-the-Waters Communication, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Application, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Indemnified Party consists of the information described as such in subsection (ii) below. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

&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) StartEngine will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each an "Indemnified Party") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of or are based solely upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based solely upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by StartEngine expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

&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) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under subsection (i) or (ii) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (a) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

&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) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under subsection (i) or (ii) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and StartEngine on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the Indemnified Party failed to give the notice required under subsection (iii) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and StartEngine on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and StartEngine on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the Fee received by StartEngine. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or StartEngine on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and StartEngine agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (iv). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (iv) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (iv), each StartEngine will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Fee received by such StartEngine. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11. TERMINATIONS**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Annual Meeting</u>. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors each year at such place, date and time as shall be designated by the board of directors of the Corporation (the "<u>Board of Directors</u>"). Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. If no date for the annual meeting is established or said meeting is not held on the date established as provided above, a special meeting in lieu thereof may be held or there may be action by written consent of the stockholders on matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, and such special meeting or written consent shall have for the purposes of these Bylaws or otherwise all the force and effect of an annual meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Special Meetings</u>. Special meetings of stockholders may be called for any purpose (including, without limitation, the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors and the election of new members of the Board of Directors). Such special meetings may be called at any time by the Chief Executive Officer, if one is elected, or, if there is no Chief Executive Officer, a President, or by the Board of Directors, or by any stockholder of the Corporation holding 25% or more of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation (on a fully-diluted basis), but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. The call for the meeting shall state the place, date, hour and purposes of the meeting. Only the purposes specified in the notice of special meeting shall be considered or dealt with at such special meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Notice of Meetings</u>. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present and vote at such meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, shall be given by the Secretary (or other person authorized by these Bylaws or by law) not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat and to each stockholder, if any, who, under the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "<u>Certificate of Incorporation</u>") or under these Bylaws is entitled to such notice. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, if mailed, notice is given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to such stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears in the records of the Corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be effectively given to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "<u>DGCL</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Adjourned Meetings</u>. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, except that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Quorum</u>. The holders of a majority in interest of all stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Voting and Proxies</u>. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or law, stockholders shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote owned by them of record according to the books of the Corporation. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder granting the proxy or by his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies shall be filed with the secretary of the meeting, or of any adjournment thereof. Except as otherwise limited therein, proxies shall entitle the persons authorized thereby to vote at any adjournment of such meeting. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise of the proxy the Corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Action at Meeting</u>. When a quorum is present, any matter before the meeting shall be decided by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock voting on such matter except where a larger vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Any election of directors by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, except where a larger vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. The Corporation shall not directly or indirectly vote any share of its own stock; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Corporation may vote shares which it holds in a fiduciary capacity to the extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Presiding Officer</u>. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if one is elected, or in his or her absence, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, if one is elected, or if neither is elected or in their absence, the Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to appoint a temporary presiding officer to serve at any meeting of the stockholders if the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer is unable to do so for any reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Conduct of Meetings</u>. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the presiding officer of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding officer of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the presiding officer of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Action without a Meeting</u>. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted by law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office, by hand or by certified mail, return receipt requested, or to the Corporation's principal place of business or to the officer of the Corporation having custody of the minute book. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature and no written consent shall be effective unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered pursuant to these Bylaws, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders entitled to take action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner set forth in these Bylaws. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Stockholder Lists</u>.

The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such advancement of Expenses under this <u>Article V</u> shall not be a defense to the action and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.

&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;(c) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.

&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;b) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

If there exists any conflict between this <u>Article V</u> and any agreement for indemnification entered into between the Corporation and a Director, the terms and conditions of such indemnification agreement shall prevail.

&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;(b) If a claim for indemnification hereunder by a Director or Officer is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written claim for indemnification, such Director or Officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, such Director or Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this <u>Article V</u> shall not be a defense to the action and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to indemnification shall be on the Corporation.

&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;(c) In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses set forth in this <u>Article V</u> shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Director or Officer, may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Other Indemnification</u>. The Corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person under this <u>Article V</u> as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Merger or Consolidation</u>. For purposes of this <u>Article V</u>, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its Directors, or Officers, so that any person who is or was a Director or Officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a Director or Officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this <u>Article V</u> with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

<u>Proxy.</u>

(a) The Subscriber hereby appoints the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "**Chief Executive Officer**"), or his or her successor as Chief Executive Officer, as the Subscriber's true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution to assign this proxy to any officer or director, to, consistent with this instrument and on behalf of the Subscriber, (i) vote all Securities, (ii) give and receive notices and communications, (iii) execute any instrument or document that the Chief Executive Officer determines is necessary or appropriate in the exercise of its authority under this instrument, and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Chief Executive Officer for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The proxy and power granted by the Subscriber pursuant to this Section are coupled with an interest. Such proxy and power will be irrevocable. The proxy and power, so long as the Subscriber is an individual, will survive the death, incompetency and disability of the Subscriber and, so long as the Subscriber is an entity, will survive the merger or reorganization of the Subscriber or any other entity holding the Securities. The Proxy will terminate upon the closing of a "Change of Control" transaction. The Chief Executive Officer is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section and has the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though he or she was a party hereto. For the purposes of this paragraph, Change of Control shall mean (i) the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the offer and sale of Common Stock or the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 covering the Common Stock; (ii) a "Sale of the Company"; or (iii) a "Deemed Liquidation Event". A Sale of the Company shall mean either: (a) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a person, or a group of related persons, acquires from stockholders of the Company shares representing more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company (a "**Stock Sale**") or (b) a transaction that qualifies as a Deemed Liquidation Event, as determined by the Company's board of directors. A "Deemed Liquidation Event" shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of stock for capital raising purposes) other than a transaction or series of transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction retain, immediately after such transaction or series of transactions, as a result of shares in the Company held by such holders prior to such transaction, at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary immediately following such acquisition, its parent); (ii) a sale, exclusive license, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole by means of any transaction or series of related transactions, except where such sale, exclusive license, transfer, lease other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; or (iii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.

(b) Other than with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Chief Executive Officer, in his or her capacity as the Subscriber's true and lawful proxy and attorney pursuant to this Section (collectively, the "**Proxy**"), the Proxy will not be liable for any act done or omitted in his, her or its capacity as representative of the Subscriber pursuant to this instrument while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the written advice of outside counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Proxy has no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this instrument, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of the Subscriber otherwise exist against the Proxy. The Subscriber shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Proxy from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, "**Proxy Losses**") arising out of or in connection with any act done or omitted in the Proxy's capacity as representative of the Subscriber pursuant to this instrument, in each case as such Proxy Losses are suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Proxy Losses are finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Proxy, the Company shall reimburse the Subscriber the amount of such indemnified Proxy Losses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct (provided that the Proxy's aggregate liability hereunder shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price). In no event will the Proxy be required to advance his, her or its own funds on behalf of the Subscriber or otherwise. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Proxy or the termination of this instrument.

(c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Proxy constitutes a decision of the Subscriber and is final, binding and conclusive upon the Subscriber. The Company, shareholders of the Company and any other third party June rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Proxy as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Subscriber. The Company, shareholders of the Company and any other third party are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Proxy.

(d) The Subscriber hereby agrees to take any and all actions determined by the Company's board of directors in good faith to be advisable to reorganize this instrument and any Securities held by the Subscriber into a special-purpose vehicle or other entity designed to aggregate the interests of holders of Securities issued in this Offering.

**WHEREAS**, Licensee desires to license the Licensed Intellectual Property from Licensor;

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Licensor and Licensee agree as follows:

**<u>Agreement</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Grant of License</u>.** Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee and Licensee hereby accepts from Licensor, an exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license to use and commercialize the Licensed Intellectual Property during the Term (as defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.  **<u>Term and Termination</u>**. This Agreement is effective from the date hereof, and shall continue for twenty (20) years (the "**Term**"). This Agreement shall be deemed automatically terminated (a) in the event Licensee materially breaches any of its material duties, obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) days after receipt by Licensee of written notice specifying the breach; (b) a receiver, trustee, administrator, or administrative receiver is appointed for the Licensee or its property; (b) Licensee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (c) any proceedings are commenced against the Licensee under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor's relief law, and such proceedings will not be vacated or set aside within fifteen (15) days from the date of commencement thereof; or (d) Licensee is liquidated or dissolved.

&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) <u>Maintaining the Licensed Intellectual Property</u>. Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, file applications to register, prosecute such applications, and maintain the Licensed Intellectual Property at its expense. If Licensee fails to file any application, pay any maintenance fee, or take any other maintenance action with respect to the Licensed Intellectual Property, then Licensor shall then have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to file such application, pay such fee at its own expense or take such action, in either case, at Licensee's expense (which expenses shall be immediately reimbursed by Licensee to Licensor). Licensee shall conduct business in a manner that reflects favorably at all times on the good name, goodwill and reputation of Licensor and Licensee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Infringement Enforcement of the Licensed Intellectual Property</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;i. If either party hereto learns of an infringement of any of the Licensed Intellectual Property, such party shall promptly notify the other party and shall provide the other party with available evidence of such infringement.

&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. Licensor shall have the right but not the obligation to bring, defend and maintain, at Licensee's expense, any suit or action for infringement by a third party of any Intellectual Property Rights. In such case, Licensee shall actively assist, as reasonably requested by Licensor, in the prosecution of any such action. If Licensor finds it necessary or desirable for Licensor to join Licensee as a party, Licensee shall execute all papers or perform such other acts as may reasonably be required by Licensor.

&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. In the event that Licensor chooses not to bring, defend or maintain a suit or action for infringement by a third party as provided above, Licensee shall defend and maintain such suit or action at Licensee's sole expense. In such case, Licensor shall actively assist, in the prosecution of such action as reasonably requested by Licensee. If Licensee finds it necessary or desirable for Licensor to join as a party (which shall be at Licensee's expense), Licensor shall execute all papers or perform such other acts as may reasonably be required by Licensee.

&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. With respect to any action brought, maintained or defended under this Section, any monetary award or settlement received by Licensee or Licensor shall be allocated first to offset attorneys' fees and costs incurred and the remainder shall be allocated to Licensee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **<u>Disclaimer of Warranty</u>**

**EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY SET FORTH HEREIN, LICENSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, VALIDITY AND NONINFRINGEMENT.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **<u>Indemnification and Remedies for Breach</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;(a) <u>General Indemnity</u>. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from all liability, loss, damage and cost arising out of any claims, demands, actions or other proceedings by third parties of any nature (including, but not limited to, attorney fees as and when incurred), to the extent the same arises out of (i) the breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the party contained in or contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any representation or warranty of the party set forth in this Agreement having been untrue in any material respect when made, except to the extent in either (i) or (ii) above that such claim arises from the indemnified party's willful misconduct or negligence.

Page **2** of **6**

&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;(b) <u>Third Party Liability</u>. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold Licensor harmless from all damages, liabilities,, costs and expenses incurred by Licensor arising from or relating to the exploitation, use, sale or transfer of any Licensed Intellectual Property, including, but not limited to, third party claims, including product liability claims, instituted against Licensor.

&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;(c) <u>Procedure</u>. A party that intends to claim indemnification under this Section (the "**Indemnitee**") shall promptly notify the other party (the "**Indemnitor**") of any loss, liability, damage, expense, claim, demand, action or other proceeding in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall assume (jointly with any other indemnitor similarly noticed) the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The indemnity agreement in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, liability, damage, expense, claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement shall be effected without the consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The failure by the Indemnitee to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after commencement of any such action shall only relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section to the extent of the actual prejudice to Indemnitor's ability to defend such action. The Indemnitee under this Section and its employees and agents shall cooperate reasonably with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **<u>Miscellaneous.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Waiver</u>.

Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws of the Company, by resolution of the Board or applicable law, a majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and acts of the majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and any acts approved in writing by all members of the Committee without a meeting, shall be the acts of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.02** **<u>Delegation of Authority</u>**

The Committee may act through subcommittees, in which case the subcommittee shall be subject to and have the authority hereunder applicable to the Committee, and the acts of the subcommittee shall be deemed to be the acts of the Committee hereunder. Additionally, to the extent applicable law so permits, the Committee, in its discretion, may delegate to one or more officers of the Company all or part of the Committee's authority and duties with respect to Awards to be granted to individuals who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and who are not members of the Board or the Board of Directors of an Affiliate. The Committee may revoke or amend the terms of any delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Committee's delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan and the Committee's prior delegation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if and to the extent deemed necessary by the Board, all Awards granted to any individual who is subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be made by a Committee comprised solely of two or more directors, all of whom are "non-employee directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent necessary to exempt the Award from the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. However, (a) any Awards granted to any individual who is subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall not fail to be valid if made other than by a committee comprised solely of two or more directors, all of whom are "non-employee directors" within the meaning of Rule 16(b)-3 under the Exchange Act. An Award granted to an individual who is a member of the Committee may be approved by the Committee in accordance with the applicable Committee charters then in effect and other applicable law except that the Committee member must abstain from any action with respect to the Committee member's own Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.03** **<u>Indemnification of Committee</u>**

The Company shall bear all expenses of administering this Plan. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee acting as administrator of the Plan, or any delegate of such, against and from any cost, liability, loss or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with or resulting from any action, claim, suit or proceeding to which such Person may be a party or in which such Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or not taken under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Person in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by such Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Person, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify and hold harmless any such Person if applicable law or the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws prohibit such indemnification. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Persons may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law or otherwise, or under any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Person or hold him or her harmless. The provisions of the foregoing indemnity shall survive indefinitely the term of this Plan.

**ARTICLE V<u><br> ELIGIBILITY</u>**

Any employee of the Company or an Affiliate (including an entity that becomes an Affiliate after the adoption of this Plan), a member of the Board or the Board of Directors of an Affiliate (including an entity that becomes an Affiliate after the adoption of the Plan) (whether or not such Board or Board of Directors member is an employee), any Person who provides services to the Company or an Affiliate (including an entity that becomes an Affiliate after the adoption of the Plan) and any entity which is a wholly-owned alter ego of such employee, member of the Board or Board of Directors of an Affiliate or other Person who provides services is eligible to participate in this Plan if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that such Person or entity has contributed significantly or can be expected to contribute significantly to the profits or growth of the Company or any Affiliate or if it is otherwise in the best interest of the Company or any Affiliate for such Person or entity to participate in this Plan. With respect to any Board member who is (i) designated or nominated to serve as a Board member by a stockholder of the Company and (ii) an employee of such stockholder of the Company, then, at the irrevocable election of the employing stockholder, the Person or entity who shall be eligible to participate in this Plan on behalf of the service of the respective Board member shall be the employing stockholder (or one of its Affiliates). To the extent such election is made, the respective Board member shall have no rights hereunder as a Participant with respect to such Board member's participation in this Plan. An Award may be granted to a Person or entity who has been offered employment or service by the Company or an Affiliate and who would otherwise qualify as eligible to receive the Award to the extent that Person or entity commences employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate, provided that such Person or entity may not receive any payment or exercise any right relating to the Award, and the grant of the Award will be contingent, until such Person or entity has commenced employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate.

**ARTICLE VI<u><br> COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.01** **<u>Common Stock Issued</u>**

Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award, the Company may deliver to the Participant (or the Participant's broker if the Participant so directs) shares of Common Stock from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, treasury shares or reacquired shares, whether reacquired on the open market or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.02** **<u>Aggregate Limit</u>**

The maximum aggregate number (the "**Maximum Aggregate Number**") of shares of Common Stock which may be subject to Awards under this Plan is 80,000 shares of Common Stock.

The Maximum Aggregate Number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards under the Plan may be subject to Options. To the extent shares of Common Stock not issued under an Option must be counted against this limit as a condition to satisfying the rules applicable to incentive stock options, such rule shall apply to the limit on Options granted under the Plan.

The Maximum Aggregate Number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards under the Plan and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Options under the Plan shall, in each instance, be subject to adjustment as provided in <u>Article XVI</u>, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) substitute Awards granted under <u>Section 16.03</u> shall not reduce the Maximum Aggregate Number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards under the Plan (to the extent permitted by applicable stock exchange rules) and (ii) available shares of stock under a stockholder-approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) also may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Maximum Aggregate Number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards under the Plan (subject to applicable stock exchange requirements).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.03** **<u>Individual Limit</u>**

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights granted to any one Participant during any calendar year shall be 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (a) if the Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights are denominated in shares of Common Stock but an equivalent amount of cash is delivered in lieu of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the foregoing limit shall be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the number of shares of Common Stock into cash and (b) any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock or amount of cash delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience shall be disregarded. For purposes of the foregoing limit, an Option and its corresponding SAR shall be treated as a single Award. For any Cash Awards that are intended to constitute annual incentive awards, the maximum amount that may be earned and become payable to any one Participant with respect to any twelve (12)-month period shall equal $5,000,000; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) if the Cash Award is denominated in cash but an equivalent amount of shares of Common Stock are delivered in lieu of delivery of cash, the foregoing limit shall be applied to the cash based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the cash into shares of Common Stock and (ii) any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of cash delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience shall be disregarded. The maximum number of shares that may be granted in any consecutive rolling thirty-six (36)-month period to any Participant shall be subject to adjustment as provided in <u>Article XVI</u>. In addition to the limits set forth herein, (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Awards stated with reference to a specific number of shares of Common Stock and granted to any one Participant in connection with the Participant's service as a member of the Board during any twelve (12)-month period shall be 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) for Awards stated with reference to a specific dollar amount, the maximum amount that may be earned and become payable to any one Participant in connection with the Participant's service as a member of the Board for any consecutive twelve (12)-month period shall equal $3,000,000 (prorated up or down for periods that are greater or lesser than twelve (12) months), in each case applied as described above for the other individual limitations.

A Non-Employee Director may not be granted Awards during any single calendar year that, taken together with any cash fees paid to such Non-Employee Director during such calendar year in respect of the Non-Employee Director's service as a member of the Board during such year, exceeds $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may make exceptions to the foregoing limit (up to twice such limit) for a non-executive chair of the Board or, in extraordinary circumstances, for other individual Non-Employee Directors, as the Board may determine, provided that the Non-Employee Director receiving such Awards may not participate in the decision to make such Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.04** **<u>Share Counting</u>**

Except as set forth below, a share of Common Stock subject to any Award under this Plan shall reduce the Maximum Aggregate Number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under this Plan, and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for Options under this Plan, by one. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award granted under this Plan which terminates by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise, which is settled in cash in lieu of Common Stock or which is exchanged, with the Committee's permission, for Awards granted under this Plan not involving shares of Common Stock, (b) shares of Common Stock not issued or delivered as a result of the net exercise or settlement of an outstanding Award granted under this Plan, (c) shares of Common Stock tendered to pay the exercise or purchase price or withholding taxes relating to an outstanding Award granted under this Plan, (d) shares of Common Stock repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise or purchase price of an Award granted under this Plan, and (e) shares of Common Stock under a stock-settled SAR that are not actually issued in connection with settlement of the stock-settled SAR, shall all again be available for Awards under the Plan.

**ARTICLE VII<u><br> OPTIONS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.01** **<u>Grant</u>**

Subject to the eligibility provisions of <u>Article V</u>, the Committee will designate each individual or entity to whom an Option is to be granted and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such grant and whether the Option is an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Agreement, the Committee may only grant an incentive stock option to an individual who is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate. An Option may be granted with or without a Corresponding SAR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.02** **<u>Option Price</u>**

The price per share of Common Stock purchased on the exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant, but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, subject to <u>Section 14.06</u> and <u>Section 16.03</u> with respect to substitute Awards. However, if at the time of grant of an Option that is intended to be an incentive stock option, the Participant is a Ten Percent Shareholder, the price per share of Common Stock purchased on the exercise of such Option shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.03** **<u>Maximum Term of Option</u>**

The maximum time period in which an Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant, except that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option was granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.04** **<u>Exercise</u>**

Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Agreement, an Option may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Committee shall determine; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that incentive stock options (granted under the Plan and all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) may not be first exercisable in a calendar year for shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Option is granted) exceeding the limit set forth under Code Section 422(d) (currently $100,000). If the limitation is exceeded, the Options that cause the limitation to be exceeded shall be treated as nonqualified stock options. An Option granted under this Plan may be exercised with respect to any number of whole shares less than the full number for which the Option could be exercised. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the Option. The exercise of an Option shall result in the termination of the Corresponding SAR to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.05** **<u>Payment</u>**

Subject to rules established by the Committee and unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, payment of all or part of the Option price shall be made in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee. If the Agreement so provides, the Committee, in its discretion and provided applicable law so permits, may allow a Participant to pay all or part of the Option price (a) by surrendering (actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock to the Company that the Participant already owns; (b) by a cashless exercise through a broker; (c) by means of a "net exercise" procedure by the surrender of shares of Common Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Option; (d) by such other medium of payment as the Committee, in its discretion, shall authorize; or (e) by any combination of the aforementioned methods of payment. If shares of Common Stock are used to pay all or part of the Option price, the sum of the cash and cash equivalent and the Fair Market Value (determined as of the day preceding the date of exercise) of the shares surrendered must not be less than the Option price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.06** **<u>Stockholder Rights</u>**

No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to shares subject to his or her Option until the date of exercise of such Option and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.07** **<u>Disposition of Shares</u>**

A Participant shall notify the Company of any sale or other disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that was designated an incentive stock option if such sale or disposition occurs (a) within two (2) years of the grant of an Option or (b) within one (1) year of the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Participant (subject to any changes in such time periods as set forth in Code Section 422(a)). Such notice shall be in writing and directed to the Secretary of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.08**  **<u>No Liability of Company</u>**

The Company shall not be liable to any Participant or any other Person if the Internal Revenue Service or any court or other authority having jurisdiction over such matter determines for any reason that an Option intended to be an incentive stock option and granted hereunder does not qualify as an incentive stock option.

**ARTICLE VIII<u><br> SARS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.01** **<u>Grant</u>**

Subject to the eligibility provisions of <u>Article V</u>, the Committee will designate each individual or entity to whom SARs are to be granted and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such grant. In addition, no Participant may be granted Corresponding SARs (under this Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company and its Affiliates) that are related to incentive stock options which are first exercisable in any calendar year for shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the related Option is granted) that exceeds $100,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.02** **<u>Maximum Term of SAR</u>**

The maximum term of a SAR shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant, except that no SAR shall have a term of more than ten (10) years from the date such SAR was granted. No Corresponding SAR shall be exercisable or continue in existence after the expiration of the Option to which the Corresponding SAR relates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.03** **<u>Exercise</u>**

Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Agreement, a SAR may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Committee shall determine; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that a SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock that is subject to the exercise exceeds the Initial Value of the SAR and a Corresponding SAR may be exercised only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable. A SAR granted under this Plan may be exercised with respect to any number of whole shares less than the full number for which the SAR could be exercised. A partial exercise of a SAR shall not affect the right to exercise the SAR from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the SAR. The exercise of a Corresponding SAR shall result in the termination of the related Option to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.04** **<u>Settlement</u>**

The amount payable to the Participant by the Company as a result of the exercise of a SAR shall be settled in cash, by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or by a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines and sets forth in the applicable Agreement. No fractional share will be deliverable upon the exercise of a SAR but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.05** **<u>Stockholder Rights</u>**

No Participant shall, as a result of receiving a SAR, have any rights as a stockholder of the Company or any Affiliate until the date that the SAR is exercised and then only to the extent that the SAR is settled by the issuance of Common Stock.

**ARTICLE IX<u><br> RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.01** **<u>Award</u>**

Subject to the eligibility provisions of <u>Article V</u>, the Committee will designate each individual or entity to whom a Restricted Stock Award is to be granted, and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such grant and the price, if any, to be paid for each share of Common Stock covered by the grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.02** **<u>Payment</u>**

Unless the Agreement provides otherwise, if the Participant must pay for a Restricted Stock Award, payment of the Award shall be made in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee. If the Agreement so provides, the Committee, in its discretion and provided applicable law so permits, may allow a Participant to pay all or part of the purchase price (a) by surrendering (actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock to the Company the Participant already owns and, if necessary to avoid adverse accounting consequences, has held for at least six months, (b) by means of a "net exercise procedure" by the surrender of shares of Common Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Restricted Stock Award, (c) by such other medium of payment as the Committee in its discretion shall authorize or (d) by any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. If Common Stock is used to pay all or part of the purchase price, the sum of cash and cash equivalent and other payments and the Fair Market Value (determined as of the day preceding the date of purchase) of the Common Stock surrendered must not be less than the purchase price of the Restricted Stock Award. A Participant's rights in a Restricted Stock Award may be subject to repurchase upon specified events as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.03** **<u>Vesting</u>**

The Committee, on the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award, shall prescribe that the Restricted Stock Award will become nonforfeitable and transferable subject to such conditions as are set forth in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Restricted Stock Awards that are nonforfeitable and transferable immediately upon grant, including without limitation Restricted Stock Awards granted in payment of earned performance awards or other incentive compensation under the Plan or any other plans or compensatory arrangements of the Company or any Affiliate. A Restricted Stock Award can only become nonforfeitable and transferable during the Participant's lifetime in the hands of the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.04** **<u>Maximum Restriction Period</u>**

To the extent the Participant's rights in a Restricted Stock Award are forfeitable and nontransferable for a period of time, the Committee on the date of grant shall determine the maximum period over which the rights may become nonforfeitable and transferable, except that such period shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.05** **<u>Stockholder Rights</u>**

Prior to their forfeiture (in accordance with the applicable Agreement and while the shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award may be forfeited and are nontransferable), a Participant will have all rights of a stockholder with respect to a Restricted Stock Award, including the right to receive dividends and vote the shares; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that during such period (a) a Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of shares granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, (b) the Company shall retain custody of any certificates evidencing shares granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award and (c) the Participant will deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to each Restricted Stock Award. In lieu of retaining custody of the certificates evidencing shares granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, the shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award may, in the Committee's discretion, be held in escrow by the Company or recorded as outstanding by notation on the stock records of the Company until the Participant's interest in such shares of Common Stock vest. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, but subject to <u>Section 14.07</u> below, if and to the extent deemed necessary by the Committee, dividends payable with respect to Restricted Stock Awards may accumulate (without interest) and become payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock to the Participant at the time, and only to the extent that, the portion of the Restricted Stock Award to which the dividends relate has become transferable and nonforfeitable. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentences shall not apply after the shares granted under the Restricted Stock Award are transferable and are no longer forfeitable.

**ARTICLE X<u><br> RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.01** **<u>Grant</u>**

Subject to the eligibility provisions of <u>Article V</u>, the Committee will designate each individual or entity to whom a grant of Restricted Stock Units is to be made and will specify the number of shares covered by such grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.02** **<u>Earning the Award</u>**

The Committee, on the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Units, shall prescribe that the Restricted Stock Units will be earned and become payable subject to such conditions as are set forth in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Restricted Stock Units in payment of earned performance awards or other incentive compensation under the Plan or any other plans or compensatory arrangements of the Company or any Affiliate. If and to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, Restricted Stock Units shall become payable upon the satisfaction of objectively determinable performance conditions based on the criteria described in <u>Article XV</u>. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Restricted Stock Units that are earned and payable immediately upon grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.03** **<u>Maximum Restricted Stock Unit Award Period</u>**

The Committee, on the date of grant, shall determine the maximum period over which Restricted Stock Units may be earned, except that such period shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.04** **<u>Payment</u>**

The amount payable to the Participant by the Company when an Award of Restricted Stock Units is earned shall be settled by the issuance of one share of Common Stock (or, as otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Agreement, the equivalent Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock in cash) for each Restricted Stock Unit that is earned. A fractional share of Common Stock shall not be deliverable when an Award of Restricted Stock Units is earned, but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.05** **<u>Stockholder Rights</u>**

No Participant shall, as a result of receiving a grant of Restricted Stock Units, have any rights as a stockholder until and then only to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units are earned and settled in shares of Common Stock, nor shall any Participant receive Dividend Equivalents solely as a result of receiving a grant of Restricted Stock Units. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Dividend Equivalents in the Agreement in connection with a grant of Restricted Stock Units. By way of example and not limitation, such Dividend Equivalents may provide that, for so long as the Participant holds any Restricted Stock Units, if the Company pays any cash dividends on its Common Stock, then (a) the Company may pay the Participant in cash for each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit covered by the Agreement as of the record date of such dividend, less any required withholdings, the per share amount of such dividend or (b) the number of outstanding Restricted Stock Units covered by the Agreement may be increased by the number of Restricted Stock Units, rounded down to the nearest whole number, equal to (i) the product of the number of the Participant's outstanding Restricted Stock Units as of the record date for such dividend multiplied by the per share amount of the dividend divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the payment date of such dividend. In the event additional Restricted Stock Units are awarded, such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the Agreement as the outstanding Restricted Stock Units with respect to which they were granted. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, but subject to <u>Section 14.07</u>, if and to the extent deemed necessary to the Committee, Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to Restricted Stock Units may accumulate (without interest) and become payable to the Participant at the time, and only to the extent that, the portion of the Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalents relate has become earned and payable. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentences shall not apply after the Restricted Stock Units become earned and payable and shares are issued thereunder.

**ARTICLE XI<u><br> INCENTIVE AWARDS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.01** **<u>Grant</u>**

Subject to the eligibility provisions of <u>Article V</u>, the Committee will designate each individual or entity to whom Incentive Awards are to be granted. All Incentive Awards shall be determined exclusively by the Committee under the procedures established by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.02** **<u>Earning the Award</u>**

Subject to the Plan, the Committee, on the date of grant of an Incentive Award, shall specify in the applicable Agreement the terms and conditions which govern the grant, including, without limitation, whether the Participant to be entitled to payment must be employed or providing services to the Company or an Affiliate at the time the Incentive Award is to be paid. If and to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, Incentive Awards shall be earned and become payable upon the satisfaction of objectively determinable performance conditions based on the criteria described in <u>Article XV</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.03** **<u>Maximum Incentive Award Period</u>**

The Committee, at the time an Incentive Award is made, shall determine the maximum period over which the Incentive Award may be earned, except that such period shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.04** **<u>Payment</u>**

The amount payable to the Participant by the Company when an Incentive Award is earned may be settled in cash, by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or by a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines and sets forth in the applicable Agreement. A fractional share of Common Stock shall not be deliverable when an Incentive Award is earned, but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.05** **<u>Stockholder Rights</u>**

No Participant shall, as a result of receiving an Incentive Award, have any rights as a stockholder of the Company or any Affiliate on account of such Incentive Award, unless and then only to the extent that the Incentive Award is earned and settled in shares of Common Stock.

**ARTICLE XII<u><br> OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.01** **<u>Other Stock-Based Awards</u>**

The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to a Participant such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to or otherwise based on shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable securities, and other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock or the cash value of shares of Common Stock. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock-Based Awards. Unless the Committee or the Agreement provides otherwise, Other Stock-Based Awards shall be vested, exercisable or earned and payable upon the date of grant. Common Stock delivered pursuant to an Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights ("**Purchase Right Award**") shall be purchased for such consideration not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock as of the date the Other Stock-Based Award is granted (subject to <u>Section 14.06</u> and <u>Section 16.03</u> with respect to substitute Awards), and may be paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Committee shall determine. The maximum time period in which an Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant, except that no Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Other Stock-Based Award was granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.02** **<u>Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Other Obligations</u>**

The Committee also is authorized (i) to grant to a Participant shares of Common Stock as a bonus, (ii) to grant shares of Common Stock or other Awards in lieu of other obligations of the Company or any Affiliate to pay cash or to deliver other property under this Plan or under any other plans or compensatory arrangements of the Company or any Affiliate, (iii) to use available shares of Common Stock as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company or an Affiliate, and (iv) subject to <u>Section 19.13</u>, to grant as alternatives to or replacements of Awards granted or outstanding under the Plan or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee and the overall limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, shares of Common Stock or other securities delivered to a Participant pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Plan shall be purchased for consideration, the Fair Market Value of which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted.

**ARTICLE XIII<u><br> DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS AND CASH AWARDS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.01** **<u>Dividend Equivalents</u>**

The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to a Participant which may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award. Subject to <u>Section 14.07</u>, the Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock, other Awards or other investment vehicles, subject to restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and such other terms as the Committee may specify and set forth in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalents may be awarded in connection with an Option, SAR or Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.02** **<u>Cash Awards</u>**

The Committee is authorized to grant to a Participant Cash Awards. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Cash Awards. Cash Awards may be granted as an element of or a supplement to any other Award under the Plan or as a stand-alone Cash Award. The Committee, on the date of grant of Cash Awards, may prescribe that the Cash Awards will be earned and become payable subject to such conditions as are set forth in the applicable Agreement. By way of example and not of limitation, the Committee may prescribe that Cash Awards will be earned and become payable upon (a) the satisfaction of objectively determinable performance conditions based on the criteria described in <u>Article XV</u>, (b) the Participant's completion of a specified period of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate, (c) the Participant's death, Disability or Retirement or (d) satisfaction of a combination of any of the foregoing factors. If and to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, Cash Awards shall become payable upon the satisfaction of objectively determinable performance conditions based on the criteria described in <u>Article XV</u>. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Cash Awards in payment of earned performance awards and other incentive compensation payable under the Plan or any other plans or compensatory arrangements of the Company or any Affiliate. Unless the Committee or the Agreement provides otherwise, Cash Awards shall be vested and payable upon the date of grant.

**ARTICLE XIV<u><br> TERMS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.01** **<u>Written Agreement</u>**

Each Award shall be evidenced by a written or electronic Agreement (including any amendment or supplement thereto) between the Company and the Participant specifying the terms and conditions of the Award granted to such Participant. Each Agreement should specify whether the Award is intended to be a Non-409A Award or a 409A Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.02** **<u>Nontransferability</u>**

Except as provided in <u>Section 14.03</u>, each Award granted under this Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to the terms of a valid qualified domestic relations order. In the event of any transfer of an Option or Corresponding SAR (by the Participant or his transferee), the Option and Corresponding SAR that relates to such Option must be transferred to the same Person or Persons or entity or entities. Except as provided in <u>Section 14.03</u>, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom the Option or SAR is granted, the Option or SAR may be exercised only by the Participant. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant or his transferee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.03** **<u>Transferable Awards</u>**

<u>Section 14.02</u> to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Agreement so provides, an Award that is not an incentive stock option or a Corresponding SAR that relates to an incentive stock option may be transferred by a Participant to immediate family members or trusts or other entities on behalf of the Participant and/or immediate family members or for charitable donations. Any such transfer will be permitted only if (a) the Participant does not receive any consideration for the transfer and (b) the Committee expressly approves the transfer. The holder of the Award transferred pursuant to this Section shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed the Award during the period that it was held by the Participant; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such transferee may not transfer the Award except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless transferred as provided in <u>Section 9.05</u>, a Restricted Stock Award may not be transferred prior to becoming non-forfeitable and transferable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.04** **<u>Participant Status</u>**

If the terms of any Award provide that it may be exercised or paid only during employment or continued service or within a specified period of time after termination of employment or continued service, the Committee may decide to what extent leaves of absence for governmental or military service, illness, temporary disability or other reasons shall not be deemed interruptions of continuous employment or service. For purposes of the Plan, employment and continued service shall be deemed to exist between the Participant and the Company and/or an Affiliate if, at the time of the determination, the Participant is a director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor of the Company or an Affiliate. A Participant on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence shall continue to be considered an employee for purposes of the Plan during such leave if the period of leave does not exceed three (3) months, or, if longer, so long as the individual's right to re-employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds three (3) months, and the individual's right to re-employment is not guaranteed by statute or by contract, the employment shall be deemed to be terminated on the first day after the end of such three (3) month period. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in an Agreement, Awards granted to a director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor shall not be affected by any change in the status of the Participant so long as the Participant continues to be a director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor to the Company or any of its Affiliates (regardless of having changed from one to the other or having been transferred from one entity to another). The Participant's employment or continued service shall not be considered interrupted in the event the Committee, in its discretion, and as specified at or prior to such occurrence, determines there is no interruption in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant's employer from the Company or an Affiliate, except that if the Committee does not otherwise specify such at or such prior to such occurrence, the Participant will be deemed to have a termination of employment or continuous service to the extent the Affiliate that employs the Participant is no longer the Company or an entity that qualifies as an Affiliate. The foregoing provisions apply to a 409A Award only to the extent Code Section 409A does not otherwise treat the Participant as continuing in service or employment or as having a separation from service at an earlier time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.05** **<u>Change in Control</u>**

Notwithstanding any provision of any Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee in its discretion may (a) declare that some or all outstanding Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights previously granted under the Plan, whether or not then exercisable, shall terminate on the Control Change Date without any payment to the holder of the Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights, provided the Committee gives prior written notice to the holders of such termination and gives such holders the right to exercise their outstanding Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights for at least seven (7) days before such date to the extent then exercisable (or to the extent such Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights would have become exercisable as of the Control Change Date), (b) terminate on the Control Change Date outstanding Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards not in the nature of purchase rights and Dividend Equivalents previously granted under the Plan that are not then nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable (and that will not become nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable as of the Control Change Date) without any payment to the holder of the Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards not in the nature of purchase rights and Dividend Equivalents, other than the return, if any, of the purchase price of any such Awards, (c) terminate on the Control Change Date some or all outstanding Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights previously granted under the Plan, whether or not then exercisable, in consideration of payment to the holder of the Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights, with respect to each share of Common Stock for which the Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights are then exercisable (or that will become exercisable as of the Control Change Date), of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on such date of the Common Stock subject to such portion of the Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights over the purchase price or Initial Value, as applicable (provided that any portion of such Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights that are not then exercisable and will not become exercisable on the Control Change Date, and Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights does not exceed the purchase price or Initial Value, as applicable, shall be cancelled without any payment therefor), (d) terminate on the Control Change Date outstanding Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards not in the nature of purchase rights and Divided Equivalents previously granted under the Plan that will become nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable as of the Control Change Date (or that previously became nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable but have not yet been settled as of the Control Change Date) in exchange for a payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards, or the amount of cash payable under the Awards, over any unpaid purchase price, if any, for such Awards (provided that any portion of such Awards that are not then nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable as of the Control Change Date (and that will not become nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable as of the Control Change Date) shall be cancelled without any payment therefor), or (e) take such other actions as the Committee determines to be reasonable under the circumstances to permit the Participant to realize the value of the outstanding Awards (which Fair Market Value for purposes of Awards that are not then exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable as of the Control Change Date (and that will not become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable as of the Control Change Date) or with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Awards does not exceed the purchase price or Initial Value, as applicable, shall be deemed to be zero). The payments described above may be made in any manner the Committee determines, including in cash, stock or other property. The Committee may take the actions described above with respect to Awards that are not then exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable or with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Awards does not exceed the purchase price or Initial Value, as applicable, whether or not the Participant will receive any payments therefor. The Committee in its discretion may take any of the actions described in this <u>Section 14.05</u> contingent on consummation of the Change in Control and with respect to some or all outstanding Awards, whether or not then exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable or on an Award-by-Award basis, which actions need not be uniform with respect to all outstanding Awards or Participants. However, outstanding Awards shall not be terminated to the extent that written provision is made for their continuance, assumption or substitution by the Company or a successor employer or its parent or subsidiary in connection with the Change in Control except as otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.06** **<u>Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards</u>**

Subject to <u>Section 19.13</u>, Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any Award granted under another plan of the Company or any Affiliate or any entity acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that a 409A Award may not be granted in tandem with a Non-409A Award. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with another Award or Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Award or Awards. Subject to applicable law and the restrictions on 409A Awards and repricings in <u>Section 19.13</u>, the Committee may determine that, in granting a new Award, the in-the-money value or Fair Market Value of any surrendered Award or Awards or the value of any other right to payment surrendered by the Participant may be applied, or otherwise taken into account with respect, to any other new Award or Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.07** **<u>Form and Timing of Payment; Deferrals</u>**

Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the exercise of an Option, SAR or Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights or settlement of any other Award may be made in such form as the Committee may determine and set forth in the applicable Agreement, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, other Awards or other property and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis. The settlement of an Award may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of shares of Common Stock in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Committee or upon the occurrence of one or more specified events set forth in the applicable Agreement (and to the extent permitted by the Plan and Code Section 409A). Subject to the Plan, installment or deferred payments may be required by the Committee or permitted at the election of the Participant on the terms and conditions established by the Committee. Payments may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installments or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents or other amounts in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in shares of Common Stock. In the case of any 409A Award that is vested and no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Code Section 83 and Code Section 409A), such Award may be distributed to the Participant, upon application of the Participant to the Committee, if the Participant has an unforeseeable emergency within the meaning of Code Section 409A, if determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, however, no dividends payable with respect to an Award or Dividend Equivalents may be paid in connection with any Awards or Dividend Equivalents that are to become nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable based upon performance conditions unless and until the performance conditions are satisfied, and, if determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Agreement, any such dividends and Dividend Equivalents will accumulate (without interest) and become payable to the Participant at the time, and only to the extent that, the applicable Awards or Dividend Equivalents have become non-forfeitable and transferable or earned and payable upon satisfaction of the relevant performance conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.08** **<u>Time and Method of Exercise</u>**

The Committee shall determine and set forth in the applicable Agreement the time or times at which Awards granted under the Plan may be exercised or settled in whole or in part and shall set forth in the applicable Agreement the rules regarding the exercise, settlement and/or termination of Awards upon the Participant's death, Disability, termination of employment or other service or ceasing to be a director. Unless the Agreement provides otherwise, an Award may be exercised by delivering notice to the Company's principal office, to the attention of its Secretary (or the Secretary's designee) no less than one (1) business day in advance of the effective date of the proposed exercise. Such notice shall be accompanied by the applicable Agreement, shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Award is being exercised and the effective date of the proposed exercise and shall be signed by the Participant or other person then having the right to exercise the Award. Such notice may be withdrawn at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of the proposed exercise. Unless the Committee otherwise permits through the applicable Agreement or otherwise, no partial exercise of an Award shall be for an aggregate exercise or purchase price or a base value of less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, however, if an Award is to become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable on the completion of a specified period of employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate, without the achievement of any performance conditions being required, and the Award is not being granted in lieu of any other cash compensation the Participant is to receive that would be payable over a shorter period of time, then unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise, the Award shall become exercisable, non-forfeitable and transferable or earned and payable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the underlying shares of Common Stock (or any amounts payable thereunder for Awards denoted in dollars) on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant (subject to acceleration of vesting, to the extent permitted by the Plan and the Committee, in the event of a Change in Control or the Participant's death, Disability, Retirement or involuntary termination of employment or service (including a voluntary termination of employment or service for good reason). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan providing for the maximum term of an Award, in the event any Award would expire prior to exercise, vesting or settlement because trading in shares of Common Stock is prohibited by law or by any insider trading policy of the Company, the term of the Award shall automatically be extended until thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such prohibitions to permit the Participant to realize the value of the Award, provided such extension with respect to the applicable Award (a) is permitted by law, (b) does not result in a violation of Code Section 409A with respect to the Award and (c) does not otherwise adversely impact the tax consequences of the Award (such as for incentive stock options and related Awards). An Agreement may provide that the Award will be automatically, and without any action by the Participant, deemed exercised, by means of a "net exercise" procedure, immediately prior to the expiration of the Award if the then Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at that time exceeds the exercise or purchase price or base value of the Award, in order to permit the Participant to realize the value of the Award. With respect to an Option and its Corresponding SAR, the Agreement may provide which Award will be deemed exercised. If the Agreement does not so provide, the Option shall be deemed exercised and the Corresponding SAR shall expire unexercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.09** **<u>Non U. S. Participants</u>**

The Committee may grant Awards to Participants located outside of the United States of America. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan (other than the limitations of <u>Section 6.02</u> and <u>Section 19.13</u>) the terms of such Awards shall be as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines as appropriate and permitted under the law that applies to any Award granted to Participants located outside of the United States of America.

**ARTICLE XV<u><br> PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.01** **<u>Performance Conditions</u>**

In accordance with the Plan, the Committee may prescribe that Awards will become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable, and earned and payable, based on objectively determinable performance conditions. Objectively determinable performance conditions are performance conditions (i) that are established in writing and (ii) that are uncertain of achievement at the time they are established. The performance conditions may be stated with respect to (a) revenue, (b) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("**EBITDA**"), (c) cash earnings (earnings before amortization of intangibles), (d) operating income, (e) pre-or after-tax income, (f) earnings per share, (g) net cash flow, (h) net cash flow per share, (i) net earnings, (j) return on equity, (k) return on total capital, (l) return on sales, (m) return on net assets employed, (n) return on assets or net assets, (o) share price performance, (p) total shareholder return, (q) improvement in or attainment of expense levels, (r) improvement in or attainment of working capital levels, (s) net sales, (t) revenue growth or product revenue growth, (u) operating income (before or after taxes), (v) pre-or after-tax income (before or after allocation of corporate overhead and bonus), (w) earnings per share; (x) return on equity, (y) appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the shares of Common, (z) market share, (aa) gross profits, (bb) comparisons with various stock market indices; (cc) reductions in cost, (dd) cash flow or cash flow per share (before or after dividends), (ee) return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital), (ff) cash flow return on investments; (gg) improvement in or attainment of expense levels or working capital levels, (hh) shareholder equity or (ii) other criteria selected by the Committee. Any performance goals that are financial metrics may be determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("**GAAP**") or may be adjusted when established to include or exclude any items otherwise includable or excludable under GAAP. The business criteria above, may be related to a specific customer or group of customers or products or geographic region. The form of the performance conditions may be measured on a Company, Affiliate, product, division, business unit, service line, segment or geographic basis, individually, alternatively or in any combination, subset or component thereof. Performance goals may include one or more of the foregoing business criteria, either individually, alternatively or any combination, subset or component. Performance goals may reflect absolute performance or a relative comparison of the performance to the performance of a peer group or index or other external measure of the selected business criteria. Profits, earnings and revenues used for any performance condition measurement may exclude any extraordinary or non-recurring items. The performance conditions may, but need not, be based upon an increase or positive result under the aforementioned business criteria and could include, for example and not by way of limitation, maintaining the status quo or limiting the economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to the specific business criteria). The performance conditions may not include solely the mere continued employment of the Participant. However, the Award may become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable contingent on the Participant's continued employment or service, and/or employment or service at the time the Award becomes exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable, in addition to the performance conditions described above. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to select one or more periods of time over which the attainment of one or more of the foregoing performance conditions will be measured for the purpose of determining a Participant's right to, and the settlement of, an Award that will become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable based on performance conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.02** **<u>Establishing the Amount of the Award</u>**

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of the Award that will become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable, as applicable, if the Committee determines that such reduction is appropriate under the facts and circumstances. In no event shall the Committee have the discretion to increase the amount of the Award that will become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.03** **<u>Earning the Award</u>**

In determining if the performance conditions have been achieved, the Committee may adjust the performance targets in the event of any unbudgeted acquisition, divestiture or other unexpected fundamental change in the business of the Company, an Affiliate or business unit or in any product that is material taken as a whole as appropriate to fairly and equitably determine if the Award is to become exercisable, nonforfeitable and transferable or earned and payable only pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Award. Additionally, in determining if such performance conditions have been achieved, the Committee also may adjust the performance targets in the event of any (a) unanticipated asset write-downs or impairment charges, (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements thereof, (c) changes in tax laws, accounting principles or other laws or provisions affecting reported results, (d) costs and accruals for reorganization or restructuring programs, or extraordinary, unusual, infrequently occurring or non-recurring, (e) acquisitions or dispositions or (f) foreign exchange gains or losses.

**ARTICLE XVI<u><br> ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.01** **<u>General Adjustments</u>**

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards, the terms of outstanding Awards and the per individual limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards shall be adjusted as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required in the event (a) there occurs a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, spin-off, split-off, stock dividend, issuance of stock rights, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or distribution (stock or cash) to stockholders other than an ordinary cash dividend; (b) the Company engages in a transaction Code Section 424 describes; or (c) there occurs any other transaction or event which, in the judgment of the Board, necessitates such action. In that respect, the Committee shall make such adjustments as are necessary in the number or kind of shares of Common Stock or securities which are subject to the Award, the exercise price or Initial Value of the Award and such other adjustments as are appropriate in the discretion of the Committee. Such adjustments may provide for the elimination of fractional shares that might otherwise be subject to Awards without any payment therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of preferred stock or convertible debentures that the Company may issue from time to time into Common Stock shall not in and of itself require any adjustment under this <u>Article XVI</u>. In addition, the Committee may make such other adjustments to the terms of any Awards to the extent equitable and necessary to prevent an enlargement or dilution of the Participant's rights thereunder as a result of any such event or similar transaction. Any determination made under this <u>Article XVI</u> by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.02** **<u>No Adjustments</u>**

The issuance by the Company of stock of any class, or securities convertible into stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of stock or obligations of the Company convertible into such stock or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards, the per individual limitations on the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards or the terms of outstanding Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.03** **<u>Substitute Awards</u>**

The Committee may grant Awards in substitution for Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards or similar Awards held by an individual who becomes an employee of the Company or an Affiliate in connection with a transaction described in <u>Section 16.01</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan (other than the limitation of <u>Section 6.02</u>), the terms of such substituted Awards shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.04** **<u>Limitation on Adjustments</u>**

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment hereunder shall be authorized or made if and to the extent the existence of such authority or action (a) would cause a Non-409A Award to be subject to Code Section 409A, (b) would violate Code Section 409A for a 409A Award, (c) would cause a modification of an incentive stock option under Code Section 424 and loss of treatment as an incentive stock option or (d) would adversely affect any exemption under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, unless the Committee determines that such adjustment is necessary and specifically acknowledges that the adjustment will be made notwithstanding any such result.

**ARTICLE XVII<u><br> COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.01** **<u>Compliance</u>**

No Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit, Incentive Award, Other Stock-Based Award, Dividend Equivalents or Cash Awards shall be granted or settled, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued, no certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to which the Company is a party and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the Company's shares may be listed. The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any stock certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Award may bear such legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations and to reflect any other restrictions applicable to such shares as the Committee otherwise deems appropriate. No Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit, Incentive Award, Other Stock-Based Award, Dividend Equivalents or Cash Awards shall be granted or settled, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.02** **<u>Postponement of Exercise or Payment</u>**

The Committee may postpone any grant, exercise, vesting or payment of an Award for such time as the Committee in its sole discretion may deem necessary in order to permit the Company (a) to effect, amend or maintain any necessary registration of the Plan or the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Award under the securities laws; (b) to take any action in order to (i) list such shares of Common Stock or other shares of stock of the Company on a stock exchange if shares of Common Stock or other shares of stock of the Company are not then listed on such exchange or (ii) comply with restrictions or regulations incident to the maintenance of a public market for its shares of Common Stock or other shares of stock of the Company, including any rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or other shares of stock of the Company are listed; (c) to determine that such shares of Common Stock in the Plan are exempt from such registration or that no action of the kind referred to in (b)(ii) above needs to be taken; (d) to comply with any other applicable law, including without limitation, securities laws; (e) to comply with any legal or contractual requirements during any such time the Company or any Affiliate is prohibited from doing any of such acts under applicable law, including without limitation, during the course of an investigation of the Company or any Affiliate, or under any contract, loan agreement or covenant or other agreement to which the Company or any Affiliate is a party or (f) to otherwise comply with any prohibition on such acts or payments during any applicable blackout period; and the Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any terms and conditions of any Agreement or any provision of the Plan to recognize the grant, exercise, vesting or payment of an Award or to grant, sell or issue shares of Common Stock or make any such payments in violation of the securities laws or the laws of any government having jurisdiction thereof or any of the provisions hereof. Any such postponement shall not extend the term of the Award and neither the Company nor its directors and officers nor the Committee shall have any obligation or liability to any Participant or to any other person with respect to shares of Common Stock or payments as to which the Award shall lapse because of such postponement.

Additionally, the Committee may postpone any grant, exercise vesting or payment of an Award if the Company reasonably believes the Company's or any applicable Affiliate's deduction with respect to such Award would be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m) to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such delay will last only until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction with respect to the Award will not be limited or eliminated by the application of Code Section 162(m).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.03** **<u>Forfeiture or Reimbursement</u>**

A Participant shall be required to forfeit any and all rights under Awards or to reimburse the Company for any payment under any Award (with interest as necessary to avoid imputed interest or original issue discount under the Code or as otherwise required by applicable law) to the extent applicable law or any applicable claw-back or recoupment policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates requires such forfeiture or reimbursement.

**ARTICLE XVIII<u><br> LIMITATION ON BENEFITS</u>**

Despite any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, if the receipt of any payments or benefits under this Plan would subject a Participant to tax under Code Section 4999, the Committee may determine whether some amount of payments or benefits would meet the definition of a "Reduced Amount." If the Committee determines that there is a Reduced Amount, the total payments or benefits to the Participant under all Awards must be reduced to such Reduced Amount, but not below zero. It is the intention of the Company and the Participant to reduce the payments under this Plan only if the aggregate Net After Tax Receipts to the Participant would thereby be increased. If the Committee determines that the benefits and payments must be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Company must promptly notify the Participant of that determination, with a copy of the detailed calculations by the Committee. All determinations of the Committee under this <u>Article XVIII</u> are final, conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Participant. As result of the uncertainty in the application of Code Section 4999 at the time of the initial determination by the Committee under this <u>Article XVIII</u>, however, it is possible that amounts will have been paid under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant which should not have been so paid ("**Overpayment**") or that additional amounts which will not have been paid under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant could have been so paid ("**Underpayment**"), in each case consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount. If the Committee, based either upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant, which the Committee believes has a high probability of success, or controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment must be treated for all purposes as a loan, to the extent permitted by applicable law, which the Participant must repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate under Code Section 7872(f)(2); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no such loan may be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Participant is subject to tax under Code Sections 1, 3101 or 4999 or generate a refund of such taxes. If the Committee, based upon controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, the Committee must promptly notify the Company of the amount of the Underpayment, which then shall be paid promptly to the Participant but no later than the end of the Participant's taxable year next following the Participant's taxable year in which the determination is made that the Underpayment has occurred. For purposes of this Section, (a) "**Net After Tax Receipt**" means the Present Value of a payment under this Plan net of all taxes imposed on Participant with respect thereto under Code Sections 1, 3101 and 4999, determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Code Section 1 which applies to the Participant's taxable income for the applicable taxable year; (b) "**Present Value**" means the value determined in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(4); and (c) "**Reduced Amount**" means the smallest aggregate amount of all payments and benefits under this Plan which (i) is less than the sum of all payments and benefits under this Plan and (ii) results in aggregate Net After Tax Receipts which are equal to or greater than the Net After Tax Receipts which would result if the aggregate payments and benefits under this Plan were any other amount less than the sum of all payments and benefits to be made under this Plan.

**ARTICLE XIX<u><br> GENERAL PROVISIONS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.01** **<u>Effect on Employment and Service</u>**

Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof), shall confer upon any individual or entity any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate or in any way affect any right and power of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of any individual or entity at any time with or without assigning a reason therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.02** **<u>Unfunded Plan</u>**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.03** **<u>Rules of Construction</u>**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.04** **<u>Tax Withholding and Reporting</u>**

Unless an Agreement provides otherwise, each Participant shall be responsible for satisfying in cash or cash equivalent any income and employment (including, without limitation, Social Security and Medicare) tax withholding obligations, if applicable, attributable to participation in the Plan and the grant, exercise, vesting or payment of Awards granted hereunder (including the making of a Code Section 83(b) election with respect to an Award). In accordance with procedures that the Committee establishes, the Committee, to the extent applicable law permits and only to the extent using shares of Common Stock to pay applicable withholdings would not cause adverse accounting consequences, may allow a Participant to pay any such applicable amounts (a) by surrendering (actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock that the Participant already owns; (b) by a cashless exercise, or surrender of shares of Common Stock already owned, through a broker; (c) by means of a "net exercise" procedure by the surrender of shares of Common Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Award; (d) by such other medium of payment as the Committee, in its discretion, shall authorize; or (e) by any combination of the aforementioned methods of payment. The Company shall comply with all such reporting and other requirements relating to the administration of this Plan and the grant, exercise, vesting or payment of any Award hereunder as applicable law requires.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.05** **<u>Code Section 83(b) Election</u>**

The Committee must approve in advance whether a Participant may make an election under Code Section 83(b) with respect to any Award (to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Code Section 83(b)) or under similar laws may be made. In any case in which a Participant is permitted to make such an election in connection with an Award, the Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Code Section 83(b) or other applicable provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.06** **<u>Reservation of Shares</u>**

The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all time reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Additionally, the Company, during the term of this Plan, shall use its best efforts to seek to obtain from appropriate regulatory agencies any requisite authorizations needed in order to issue and to sell such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. However, the inability of the Company to obtain from any such regulatory agency the requisite authorizations the Company's counsel deems to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, or the inability of the Company to confirm to its satisfaction that any issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder will meet applicable legal requirements, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect to the failure to issue or to sell such shares of Common Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.07** **<u>Governing Law</u>**

This Plan and all Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, except to the extent federal law applies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.08** **<u>Other Actions</u>**

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the authority of the Company to exercise its corporate rights and powers, including, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, the right to grant Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards or Dividend Equivalents for proper corporate purposes otherwise than under the Plan to any employee or to any other Person, firm, corporation, association or other entity, or to grant Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards, or Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards or Dividend Equivalents to, or assume such Awards of any Person in connection with, the acquisition, purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise, of all or any part of the business and assets of any Person, firm, corporation, association or other entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.09** **<u>Repurchase of Common Stock</u>**

Subject to <u>Section 19.13</u>, the Company or its designee may have the option and right to purchase any Award or any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any Award in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Agreement. However, shares of Common Stock repurchased pursuant to an Agreement will still be deemed issued pursuant to the Plan and will not be available for issuance pursuant to future Awards under the Plan (not counting for this purpose any shares of Common Stock repurchased in connection with the lapse or forfeiture of any Restricted Stock Award).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.10** **<u>Other Conditions</u>**

The Committee, in its discretion, may require the Participant on or before the date of grant, exercise, payment or settlement of an Award to enter into (a) a confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, non-disparagement or other similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, which may become effective on the date of termination of employment or service of the Participant with the Company or any Affiliate or any other date the Committee may specify and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall otherwise specify, (b) an agreement to cancel any other employment agreement, service agreement, fringe benefit or compensation arrangement in effect between the Company or any Affiliate and such Participant and/or (c) a shareholders' agreement with respect to shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Award. If the Participant should fail to enter into any such agreement at the Committee's request, then no Award shall be granted, exercised, paid or settled and the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to such Award, if any, shall be added to the remaining shares of Common Stock available under the Plan. In the event the Participant should enter into any such confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, non-disparagement or other similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, as a condition to the grant, exercise, payment or settlement of the Award, and the Participant subsequently breach or violate any provision of such agreement, then the Participant shall forfeit any and all further rights under such Award and the Clawback Requirement shall be triggered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.11** **<u>Forfeiture Provisions</u>**

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or any Agreement, all rights to any Award that a Participant has will be immediately discontinued and forfeited, and the Company shall not have any further obligation hereunder to the Participant with respect to any Award and the Award will not be exercisable (whether or not previously exercisable) or become vested or payable on and after the time the Participant is discharged from employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate for Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.12** **<u>Legends; Payment of Expenses</u>**

The Company may endorse such legend or legends upon the certificates for shares of Common Stock issued upon the grant or exercise of an Award and may issue such "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such shares as it determines, in its sole discretion, to be necessary or appropriate to (a) prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the registration requirements under the Exchange Act, applicable state securities laws or other requirements, (b) implement the provisions of the Plan or any Agreement between the Company and the Participant with respect to such shares of Common Stock, (c) permit the Company to determine the occurrence of a "disqualifying disposition" as described in Code Section 421(b) of the shares of Common Stock transferred upon the exercise of an incentive stock option granted under the Plan or (d) as may be appropriate to continue an Award's exemption or compliance with Code Section 409A. The Company shall pay all issuance taxes with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the grant or exercise of the Award, as well as all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.13** **<u>Repricing of Awards</u>**

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, except for adjustments pursuant to <u>Article XVI</u> or to the extent approved by the Company's stockholders and consistent with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are traded, this Plan does not permit (a) any decrease in the exercise or purchase price or base value or Initial Value of any outstanding Awards, (b) the issuance of any replacement Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights which shall be deemed to occur if a Participant agrees to forfeit an existing Option, SAR or Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights in exchange for a new Option, SAR or Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights with a lower exercise or purchase price or base value or Initial Value, (c) the Company to repurchase underwater or out-of-the-money Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights, which shall be deemed to be those Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights with exercise or purchase prices or base values in excess of the current Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option, SAR or Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of purchase rights, (d) the issuance of any replacement or substitute Awards or the payment of cash in exchange for, or in substitution of, underwater or out-of-the-money Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in the nature of purchase rights, (e) the Company to repurchase any Award if the Award has not become exercisable, vested or payable prior to the repurchase or (f) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.14** **<u>Right of Setoff</u>**

The Company or an Affiliate may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deduct from and setoff against any amounts the Company or Affiliate may owe the Participant from time to time, including amounts payable in connection with any Award, owed as wages, fringe benefits or other compensation owed to the Participant, such amounts as may be owed by the Participant to the Company or Affiliate, including but not limited to any amounts owed under the Plan, although the Participant shall remain liable for any part of the Participant's obligation not satisfied through such deduction and setoff. By accepting any Award granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to any deduction or setoff hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.15** **<u>Fractional Shares</u>**

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereof shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.16** **<u>Compensation Recoupment Policy</u>**

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, any Award received by the Participant and/or shares of Common Stock issued and/or cash paid hereunder, and/or any amount received with respect to any sale of any such shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to potential cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of the Company's Compensation Recoupment Policy, as it may be amended from time to time. By acceptance of the Award, the Participant agrees and consents to the Company's application, implementation and enforcement of (a) the Compensation Recoupment Policy or any similar policy established by the Company or any Affiliate that may apply to the Participant and (b) any provision of applicable law relating to cancellation, rescission, payback or recoupment of compensation, and expressly agrees that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the Compensation Recoupment Policy, any similar policy (as applicable to the Participant) or applicable law without further consent or action being required by the Participant. To the extent that the terms of this Plan or any Agreement and the Compensation Recoupment Policy or any similar policy conflict, then the terms of such policy shall prevail.

**ARTICLE XX<u><br> CLAIMS PROCEDURES</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**20.01** **<u>Initial Claim</u>**

If a Participant has exercised an Option or SAR or if shares of Restricted Stock have become vested or Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards or Dividend Equivalents have become payable, and the Participant has not received the benefits to which the Participant believes he or she is entitled under such Award, then the Participant must submit a written claim for such benefits to the Committee within ninety (90) days of the date the Participant tried to exercise the Option or SAR, the date the Participant contends the Restricted Stock vested or the date the Participant contends the Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards or Dividend Equivalents became payable or the claim will be forever barred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**20.02** **<u>Appeal of Claim</u>**

If a claim of a Participant is wholly or partially denied, the Participant or his duly authorized representative may appeal the denial of the claim to the Committee. Such appeal must be made at any time within thirty (30) days after the Participant receives written notice from the Company of the denial of the claim. In connection therewith, the Participant or his duly authorized representative may request a review of the denied claim, may review relevant documents and may submit issues and comments in writing. Upon receipt of an appeal, the Committee shall make a decision with respect to the appeal and, not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of such request for review, shall furnish the Participant with the decision on review in writing, including the specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant, as well as specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which the decision is based.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**20.03** **<u>Time to File Suit</u>**

The Committee has the discretionary and final authority under the Plan to determine the validity of a claim. Accordingly, any decision the Committee makes on a Participant's appeal will be administratively final. If a Participant disagrees with the Committee's final decision, the Participant may sue, but only after the claim on appeal has been denied. Any lawsuit must be filed within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Committee's final written denial of the Participant's claim or the claim will be forever barred.

**ARTICLE XXI<u><br> AMENDMENT</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**21.01** **<u>Amendment of Plan</u>**

The Board may amend or terminate this Plan at any time; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no amendment to the Plan may materially adversely impair the rights of a Participant with respect to outstanding Awards without the Participant's consent. In addition, an amendment will be contingent on approval of the Company's stockholders, to the extent required by law or any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan or by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are traded or if the amendment would (i) increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, including without limitation, any amendment to the Plan or any Agreement to permit a repricing of any outstanding Awards under <u>Section 19.13</u>, (ii) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan or (iii) modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any termination of the Plan shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A with regard to any 409A Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**21.02** **<u>Amendment of Awards</u>**

The Committee may amend any outstanding Awards to the extent it deems appropriate; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no amendment to an outstanding Award may materially adversely impair the rights of a Participant without the Participant's consent.

**ARTICLE XXII<u><br> CODE SECTION 409A PROVISION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.01** **<u>Intent of Awards</u>**

It is intended that Awards that are granted under the Plan shall be exempt from treatment as "deferred compensation" subject to Code Section 409A unless otherwise specified by the Committee. Towards that end, all Awards under the Plan are intended to contain such terms as will qualify the Awards for an exemption from Code Section 409A unless otherwise specified by the Committee. The terms of the Plan and all Awards granted hereunder shall be construed consistent with the foregoing intent. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Committee may amend any outstanding Award without Participant's consent if, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, such amendment is required either to (a) confirm exemption under Code Section 409A, (b) comply with Code Section 409A or (c) prevent the Participant from being subject to any tax or penalty under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor the Committee shall be liable to a Participant or any other Person if an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A or the Participant or any other Person is otherwise subject to any additional tax, interest or penalty under Code Section 409A. Each Participant is solely responsible for the payment of any tax liability (including any taxes, penalties and interest that may arise under Code Section 409A) that may result from an Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.02** **<u>409A Awards</u>**

The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan that are intended to be 409A Awards that comply with Code Section 409A. The terms of such 409A Award, including any authority by the Company and the rights of the Participant with respect to such 409A Award, will be subject to such rules and limitations and shall be interpreted in a manner as to comply with Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.03** **<u>Election Requirements</u>**

If a Participant is permitted to elect to defer an Award or any payment under an Award, such election shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Each initial deferral election (an "**Initial Deferral Election**") must be received by the Committee prior to the following dates or will have no effect whatsoever:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except as otherwise provided below, the September 30 immediately preceding the year in which
the compensation is earned;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to any annual or long-term incentive pay which qualifies as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Code Section 409A, by the date six (6) months prior to the end of the performance
measurement period applicable to such incentive pay provided such additional requirements set forth in Code Section 409A are
met;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With respect to "fiscal year compensation" as defined under Code Section 409A,
by the last day of the Company's fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the fiscal year compensation is earned;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) With respect to mid-year Awards or other legally binding rights to a payment of compensation in
a subsequent year that is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant's continued service for a period of
at least twelve (12) months, on or before the thirtieth (30<sup>th</sup>) day following the grant of such Award, provided that
the election is made at least twelve (12) months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Participants to submit additional deferral elections in order to delay, but not to accelerate, a payment, or to change the form of payment of an amount of deferred compensation (a "**Subsequent Deferral Election**"), if, and only if, the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the Subsequent Deferral Election must not take effect until twelve (12) months after the date on which it is made, (b) in the case of a payment other than a payment attributable to the Participant's death, disability or an unforeseeable emergency (all within the meaning of Code Section 409A) the Subsequent Deferral Election further defers the payment for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made and (c) the Subsequent Deferral Election is received by the Committee at least twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment would otherwise have been made. In addition, Participants may be further permitted to revise the form of payment they have elected, or the number of installments elected, provided that such revisions comply with the requirements of a Subsequent Deferral Election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.04** **<u>Time of Payment</u>**

The time and form of payment of a 409A Award shall be as set forth in an applicable Agreement. A 409A Award may only be paid in connection with a separation from service, a fixed time, death, disability, Change in Control or an unforeseeable emergency within the meaning of Code Section 409A. The time of distribution of the 409A Award must be fixed by reference to the specified payment event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the time of distribution of the 409A Award is not set forth in the applicable Agreement, then the time of distribution of the 409A Award shall be within two and one-half months of the end of the later of the calendar year or the fiscal year of the Company or Affiliate that employs the Participant in which the 409A Award becomes vested and no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment payment will be treated as the entitlement to a single payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.05** **<u>Acceleration or Deferral</u>**

The Company shall have no authority to accelerate or delay or change the form of any distributions relating to 409A Awards except as permitted under Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.06** **<u>Distribution Requirements</u>**

Any distribution of a 409A Award triggered by a Participant's termination of employment shall be made only at the time that the Participant has had a separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A. A separation from service shall occur where it is reasonably anticipated that no further services will be performed after that date or that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform after that date (whether as an employee or independent contractor of the Company or an Affiliate) will permanently decrease to less than fifty percent (50%) of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period. A Participant shall be considered to have continued employment and to not have a separation from service while on a leave of absence if the leave does not exceed six (6) consecutive months (twenty-nine (29) months for a disability leave of absence) or, if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with the Company or Affiliate under an applicable statute or by contract. For this purpose, a "disability leave of absence" is an absence due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of Participant's position of employment or a substantially similar position of employment. Continued services solely as a director of the Company or an Affiliate shall not prevent a separation from service from occurring by an employee as permitted by Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.07** **<u>Key Employee Rule</u>**

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any distribution of a 409A Award that would be made upon a separation from service within six (6) months following the separation from service of a "specified employee" as defined under Code Section 409A and as determined under procedures adopted by the Board or its delegate shall instead occur on the first day of the seventh month following the separation from service (or upon the Participant's death, if earlier) to the extent required by Code Section 409A.

Employee hereby agrees not to compete directly or indirectly with the business of Employer or any of its affiliates, within Tri-State Region, during the period of employment and for a period of 3 Years following the termination of employment, notwithstanding the cause or reason for termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.09 **Non-Solicitation of Clients and Customers after Termination of Employment**. Employee agrees that following the termination of his employment for whatever reason, she shall not, either personally or as an employee, consultant or agent for any other entity or person, seek to solicit or carry out any work of the same or similar nature, or offer, develop, license or perform any similar product or service, for any client or customer of Employer or any of its affiliates with which Employee had any contact or dealings while employed by Employer. As used herein "similar product or service" shall mean any product or service similar to that offered, licensed, contemplated or developed by Employer or any of its affiliates during the employment of Employee's by Employer. All records of the accounts of Employer and its affiliates, of any nature and whether existing at the time of Employee's employment, procured through the efforts of Employee or obtained by Employee from any other source, and whether prepared by Employee, Employer or otherwise, shall be the exclusive property of Employer or any of its affiliates regardless of who actually purchased the original book, storage media or other record on which the information is recorded. All such records shall be immediately given to Employer on the termination of Employee's employment, whether or not any dispute exists between Employer and Employee. Employee shall not transact any business pertaining to suppliers or customer of Employer or any of its affiliates which, in any manner, would have or would be likely to have a material adverse effect on Employer or any of its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11 **The Consideration for Employee's Other Obligations**. Employee has undertaken the obligations set forth in this Article as part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid and provided to Employee under this Agreement, and as an additional incentive for Employer to enter into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.12 **Enforcement and Remedies**. Employee acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article by Employee, and Employer shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Article by specific performance and injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Said remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach or threatened breach of this Article, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Employer and its affiliates, including recovery of damages from Employee or the termination of any payments then owing to Employee under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.13 **Reformation**. It is expressly understood and agreed that Employer and Employee consider the restrictions contained in this Article to be reasonable and necessary for the protection of the proprietary information and business of Employer and its affiliates. Nevertheless, if any of the foregoing restrictions are found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions set forth in this Article to be modified by such court so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by the court, to be fully enforced.

**ARTICLE 6: RESOLVING DISPUTES AND EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS**

Any awarded rendered shall be made by means of a written opinion explaining the arbitrators' reasons for the award. The arbitrators may not amend or vary any provision of this Agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, which court shall have the power to review such award for compliance with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.02 **Injunctive Relief**. Employee acknowledges that actual or threatened violations of Article 5 would give rise to irreparable injury to Employer or any of its affiliates, inadequately compensable in damages and, therefore, Employer and its affiliates shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of Employee's obligations and undertakings thereunder, in addition to other legal remedies which may be available.

It is expressly understood and agreed that Employer and Employee consider the restrictions contained in this Article to be reasonable and necessary for the protection of the proprietary information and business of Employer and its affiliates.
