of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Company completes the corporate action relating to the grant of such Award
and all conditions to the grant have been satisfied, provided that conditions to the exercise of an Award shall not defer the date of
grant. Notice of a grant shall be given to each Participant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the determination
has been made.

(d)    SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Shares shall not
be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant
thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange
Act, the rules and regulations promulgated under either such Act, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon
which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to
such compliance.

(e)     SUBSTITUTIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS. The Board
or the Committee shall have the right to substitute or assume Awards in connection with mergers, reorganizations, separations, or other
transactions to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, provided such substitutions and assumptions are permitted by Section 424 of
the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The number of Shares reserved pursuant to Section 4(a) may be increased by the corresponding
number of Awards assumed and, in the case of a substitution, by the net increase in the number of Shares subject to Awards before and
after the substitution.

SECTION 5.     ADJUSTMENTS TO SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. If any change is made to the Shares by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Shares as a class without the Company’s receipt
of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan,
(ii) the number and/or class of securities and/or the price per Share covered by outstanding Awards under the Plan and (iii) the Maximum
Annual Participant Award. The Committee may also make adjustments described in (i)-(iii) of the previous sentence in the event of any
distribution of assets to shareholders other than a normal cash dividend, if any. In determining adjustments to be made under this Section
5, the Committee may take into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including the restrictions of applicable law and the potential
tax consequences of an adjustment, and in light of such factors may make adjustments that are not uniform or proportionate among outstanding
Awards. Adjustments, if any, and any determinations or interpretations, including any determination of whether a distribution is other
than a normal cash dividend, made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. For purposes of this Section 5, conversion
of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of Shares subject to an Award.

PART II.

TERMS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS

SECTION 6.     GENERAL ELIGIBILITY; AWARD LIMITATIONS.

(a)     AWARDS. Awards may be granted to Participants
who are Employees, Directors or Consultants; provided however that Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Employees.

    	A-8 

     

    

(b)    MAXIMUM ANNUAL PARTICIPANT AWARD. The aggregate
number of Shares with respect to which an Award or Awards may be granted to any one Participant in any one taxable year of the Company
(the “Maximum Annual Participant Award”) shall not exceed 500,000 shares of Common Stock (increased, proportionately, in the
event of any stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Shares). In addition, no Non-Employee Director shall be granted one or
more Awards within any fiscal year of the Company, solely with respect to service as a Director, that in the aggregate exceed five hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000) in aggregate value of cash-based and other Awards, with such value determined by the Committee as of the date
of grant of the Awards. For purposes of clarification regarding the foregoing limit, Awards granted in previous fiscal years will not
count against the Award limits in subsequent fiscal years even if the Awards from previous fiscal years are earned or otherwise settled
in fiscal years following the fiscal year in which they are granted.

(c)     NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS. Nothing
in the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to an Award or to continue in service as an Employee or Consultant for any period
of specific duration, or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Subsidiary employing or retaining
such person), or of any Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s services at
any time for any reason, with or without cause. ).

(d)    AWARDS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. Subject to
the limitations set forth in this Plan, Non-Employee Directors shall receive periodic Awards under the Plan with the exact amount and
nature of such Awards being approved from time to time by the Committee and/or the Board.

(e)        CLAWBACK/RECOVERY. All Awards
granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant
to the listing standards of Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are
listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. In addition,
the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Committee determines necessary
or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Common Stock or other cash
or property upon the occurrence of cause as determined by the Committee.

 

(f)        MINIMUM VESTING PERIOD. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, no Award granted under this Plan may have a vesting period of less than one year (other
than as a result of a Participant's death or Disability or as a result of a Change of Control in accordance with Section 9(a) of this
Plan); provided, however, the Board or Committee may authorize the grant of Awards with no minimum vesting periods or vesting periods
of less than one year so long as the total number of Shares issued or issuable with respect to such Awards does not exceed five percent
(5%) of the total number of Shares authorized under the Plan.

 

(g)       COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A. It
is the intention of this Plan that any Awards granted hereunder shall satisfy the additional conditions applicable to nonqualified deferred
compensation under Section 409A of the Code. No Award shall provide for deferral of compensation that does not comply with Section 409A
of the Code, unless the Board or Committee, at the time of grant, specifically provides that the Award is not intended to comply with
Section 409A of the Code. In the event that an Award is determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" that
would be subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (or any successor provisions), the Committee shall have
the authority to impose such additional conditions as it deems necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Plan, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person (i) if an
Award does not satisfy the additional conditions applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code
or (ii) for any other unexpected tax consequence affecting any Participant or other person due to the receipt or settlement of any
Award granted hereunder.

 

SECTION 7.     PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF AWARDS; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.

(a)     PROCEDURE. An Award shall be exercised
when written, electronic or verbal notice of exercise has been given to the Company, or the brokerage firm or firms approved by the Company
to facilitate exercises and sales under this Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award
and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised has been received by the Company or the brokerage firm or
firms, as applicable. The notification to the brokerage firm shall be made in accordance with procedures of such brokerage firm approved
by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under
Section 7(b) of the Plan. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such share certificate promptly upon exercise of the Award.
In the event that the exercise of an Award is treated in part as the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and in part as the exercise
of a Nonqualified Stock Option pursuant to Section 10(a), the Company shall issue a share certificate evidencing the Shares treated as
acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and a separate share certificate evidencing the Shares treated as acquired upon
the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option, and shall identify each such certificate accordingly in its share transfer records. No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the share certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 5 of the Plan.

    	A-9 

     

    

(b)    METHOD OF PAYMENT. The consideration to be paid
for any Shares to be issued upon exercise or other required settlement of an Award, including the method of payment, shall be determined
by the Committee at the time of settlement and which forms may include: (i) with respect to an Option and subject to any restrictions
or limitations imposed under applicable law, a request that the Company or the designated brokerage firm conduct a cashless exercise of
the Option; (ii) cash; and (iii) tender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant in accordance with rules established by the
Committee from time to time. Shares used to pay the exercise price shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date. Payment
of the aggregate exercise price by means of tendering previously-owned shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted when the same may,
in the reasonable opinion of the Company, cause the Company to record a loss or expense as a result thereof.

(c)     WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. To the extent
required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified
Stock Option, SAR, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units or any sale of Shares. The Company
shall not be required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied. These obligations
may be satisfied by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award
or by tendering Shares previously acquired by the Participant in accordance with rules established by the Committee from time to time.

(d)    SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS; DIVIDENDS. Except as otherwise
provided in this Plan, until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company) of the share certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Award. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Plan, Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Performance Compensation Awards may, in
the Committee's discretion, include dividend equivalent rights so long as payment of any such dividends or dividend equivalents shall
be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying Award.

(e)     NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. An Award
may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in exchange for consideration, except that an Award may
be transferred by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by
the Participant; unless the Committee permits further transferability, on a general or specific basis, in which case the Committee may
impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability.

(f)      Automatic
Exercise of In-The-Money Options and SARs. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise
that any Option or SAR outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an exercise price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value
per Share as of such date shall, automatically and without further action by the Participant (or, in the event of Participant's death,
Participant's personal representative or estate) or the Company, be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date if the Committee, in its
sole discretion, determines that such exercise would provide economic benefit to the Participant after payment of the exercise price,
applicable taxes and any expenses to effect the exercise. In the sole discretion of the Committee, payment of the exercise price of any
such Option or SAR may be made pursuant to Section 7(b), and the Company may deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes
associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 7(c). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Section 7(f) shall not
apply to an Option or SAR if the Participant incurs a termination of Active Status on or before the Automatic Exercise Date.

SECTION 8.     EXPIRATION OF AWARDS.

(a)     EXPIRATION, TERMINATION OR FORFEITURE
OF AWARDS. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or any severance agreement, vested Option or SAR Awards granted
under this Plan shall expire, terminate, or otherwise be forfeited as follows:

(i)                 
three (3) months after the effective date of termination of Active Status for a Participant other than a Non-Employee Director, other
than in circumstances covered by (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) below; or six (6) months after the date a Non-Employee Director ceases to be
a Director or Consultant other than in circumstances covered by (ii), (iv) and (v) below;

(ii)               
immediately upon termination of a Participant’s Active Status for Misconduct;

    	A-10 

     

    

(iii)             
twelve (12) months after the date on which a Participant other than a Non-Employee Director ceased performing services as a result of
his or her total and permanent Disability;

(iv)              
twelve (12) months after the date of the death of a Participant whose Active Status terminated as a result of his or her death; and

(v)               
in the case of a Participant's Retirement, the date on which the Option or SAR would have expired if no termination of the Participant's
Active Status had occurred; provided, however that this clause (v) shall not apply to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options.

(b)    EXTENSION OF TERM. Notwithstanding subsection
(a) above, the Committee shall have the authority to extend the expiration date of any outstanding Option, other than an Incentive Stock
Option, or SAR in circumstances in which it deems such action to be appropriate (provided that no such extension shall extend the term
of an Option or SAR beyond the date on which the Option or SAR would have expired if no termination of the Employee’s Active Status
had occurred).

SECTION 9.         EFFECT OF
CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply unless otherwise
provided in the most recently executed agreement between the Participant and the Company, or specifically prohibited under applicable
laws, or by the rules and regulations of any applicable governmental agencies or national securities exchanges or quotation systems.

(a)     ACCELERATION. Awards of a Participant
shall be Accelerated (as defined in Section 9(b) below) as follows:

(i)                 
With respect to Non-Employee Directors, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control described in Section 2(g);

(ii)               
With respect to any Employee, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control described in Section 2(g)(i);

(iii)             
With respect to any Employee who Resigns for Good Reason or whose Active Status is terminated for reasons other than Misconduct, so long
as such resignation or termination occurs within one year after a Change of Control described in Section 2(g)(ii), (iii) or (iv); and

(iv)              
With respect to any Employee, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control described in Section 2(g)(iv) in connection with which each Award
is not assumed or an equivalent award substituted by such successor entity or a parent or subsidiary of such successor entity.

(b)    DEFINITION. For purposes of this Section 9,
Awards of a Participant being “Accelerated” means, with respect to such Participant:

(i)                 
any and all Options and SARs shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable, and shall remain exercisable for the greater of (1)
the time period specified in the original Award (but subject to termination upon termination of Active Status in accordance with the terms
of the original Award) or, (2) one year following the date of such acceleration;

(ii)               
any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are not performance-based shall lapse;

(iii)             
any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Performance Compensation Awards that
are performance-based shall lapse, unless such performance-based Awards remain outstanding after the Change of Control (or are assumed
by any successor entity) and the applicable Performance Criteria can be accurately tracked following the Change of Control; and

(iv)              
the restrictions and deferral limitations and other conditions applicable to any other Awards shall lapse, and such other Awards shall
become free of all restrictions, limitations or conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original
grant.

    	A-11 

     

    

PART III.

SPECIFIC TERMS APPLICABLE TO OPTIONS, STOCK AWARDS AND SARS

SECTION 10.     GRANT, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

(a)     DESIGNATION. Each Option shall be designated
in an Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designations,
to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess
Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.

(b)    TERMS OF OPTIONS. The term of each Option shall
be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who,
at the time the Option is granted, owns Shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of
the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be no more than five (5) years from the date of grant.

(c)     OPTION EXERCISE PRICES.

(i)                 
The per Share exercise price under an Incentive Stock Option shall be as follows:

(A)         If granted to an Employee who, at the time of the
grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares
of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant.

(B)         If granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise
price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(ii)               
The per Share exercise price under a Nonqualified Stock Option or SAR shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant.

(iii)             
In no event shall the Board or the Committee be permitted to Reprice an Option after the date of grant without shareholder approval.

(d)    VESTING. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable
Award Agreement, to the extent Options vest and become exercisable in increments, such Options shall cease vesting as of the date of the
Optionee's Disability or termination of such Optionee's Active Status for reasons other than Retirement or death of a Non-Employee Director,
in which cases such Options shall immediately vest in full.

(e)     EXERCISE. Any Option granted hereunder
shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Committee at the time of grant, and as are permissible
under the terms of the Plan. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

SECTION 11.     GRANT, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK AWARDS.

(a)     DESIGNATION. Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units may include a dividend equivalent right, as permitted by Section 5 or Section 7. After the Committee determines that it will
offer Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, it will advise the Participant in writing or electronically, by means of an Award Agreement,
of the terms, conditions and restrictions, including vesting, if any, related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the Participant
shall be entitled to receive or purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and, if applicable, the time within which the Participant must
accept the offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Committee. Restricted
Stock Units may be paid as permitted by Section 7(b). The term of each award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be at
the discretion of the Committee. 

    	A-12 

     

    

(b)    PERFORMANCE BASED STOCK AWARDS. The Committee
may elect to grant Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units that are subject to the attainment of Performance Goals relating to
Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time such Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units are granted.

(c)      VESTING. Subject to the provisions
of Section 9 of this Plan, unless the Board or Committee determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall provide for the forfeiture of
the non-vested Shares underlying Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units upon the termination of a Participant’s Active Status
for reasons other than Retirement or death of a Non-Employee Director, in which case such Awards shall immediately vest in full.

SECTION 12.     GRANT, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SARS.

(a)     GRANTS. The Committee shall have the full
power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant SARs to selected Participants. The terms of SARs shall be at the discretion
of the Committee; provided, however, that in no case shall the term of any SAR be in excess of ten (10) years following the grant date.
In no event shall the Board or the Committee be permitted to Reprice a SAR after the date of grant without shareholder approval.

(b)    STAND-ALONE SARS.

(i)                 
A Participant may be granted stand-alone stock appreciation rights ("Stand-Alone SARs") that are not tied to any underlying
Option under Section 10 of the Plan. The Stand-Alone SAR shall cover a specified number of Shares and shall be exercisable upon such terms
and conditions as the Committee shall establish. Upon exercise of the Stand-Alone SAR, the holder shall be entitled to receive a distribution
from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the exercise date) of the Shares underlying
the exercised right over (B) the aggregate base price in effect for those Shares.

(ii)                 The number of Shares underlying each Stand-Alone SAR and
the base price in effect for those Shares shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Stand-Alone SAR is granted. In no event,
however, may the base price per Share be less than the Fair Market Value per underlying Share on the grant date.

(iii)                 The distribution with respect
to an exercised Stand-Alone SAR may be made in Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date, in cash, or partly in Shares and
partly in cash, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

SECTION 13.     GRANT, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION AWARDS.

(a)     GRANTS. The Committee shall have the full
power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant Performance Compensation Awards in the form of Performance Units or
Performance Shares to Employees (including Officers) and shall evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that is delivered to the Participant
setting forth the terms and conditions of the Award.

(b)    ELIGIBILITY. The Committee shall, in its sole
discretion, designate within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section
162(m) of the Code) which Participants will be eligible to receive Performance Compensation Awards in respect of such Performance Period;
provided, however, that such 90 day restriction shall not apply to Performance Compensation Awards initially granted subsequent to December
31, 2017. However, designation of a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder for a Performance Period shall not in any manner
entitle the Participant to receive payment in respect of any Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period. The determination
as to whether or not such Participant becomes entitled to payment in respect of any Performance Compensation Award shall be decided solely
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13. Moreover, designation of a Participant eligible to receive a Performance Compensation
Award hereunder for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Participant eligible to receive a Performance
Compensation Award hereunder in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one person as a Participant eligible to receive
a Performance Compensation Award hereunder shall not require designation of any other person as a Participant eligible to receive a Performance
Compensation Award hereunder in such period or in any other period.

(c)     DISCRETION OF COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO
PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION AWARDS. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full discretion to select the
length of such Performance Period, the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be
used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goals(s) that is (are) to apply, or any combination
of the foregoing, and the Performance Formula. Within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum period
allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such
Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record
the same in writing; provided, however, that such 90 day restriction shall not apply to Performance Compensation Awards initially granted
subsequent to December 31, 2017.

    	A-13 

     

    

(d)    MODIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Committee
is authorized at any time during the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed
under Section 162(m) of the Code), or any time thereafter (but only to the extent the exercise of such authority after such 90-day period
(or such shorter period, if applicable) would not cause the Performance Compensation Awards granted to any participant for the Performance
Period to fail to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code), in its sole discretion,
to adjust or modify the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of
the Code (i) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development affecting
the Company (to the extent applicable to such Performance Goal) or (ii) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or
nonrecurring events affecting the Company (to the extent applicable to such Performance Goal), or the financial statements of the Company
(to the extent applicable to such Performance Goal), or of changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of
any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles, law or business conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 13(d), the foregoing ninety (90) day restriction shall not apply to Performance Compensation Awards initially
granted subsequent to December 31, 2017.

(e)     PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION AWARDS.

(i)     A Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance
Compensation Award for such Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the discretion of the Committee, Performance Compensation
Awards may be paid to a Participant whose Active Status as an employee has terminated after the beginning of the Performance Period for
which a Performance Compensation Award is made, or to the designee or estate of a Participant who died prior to the last day of a Performance
Period.

(ii)     A Participant shall be eligible to receive payments in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that
(1) the Performance Goal(s) for such period are achieved and certified by the Committee in accordance with Section 13(e)(iii) and (2)
the Performance Formula as applied against such Performance Goal(s) determines that all or some portion of such Participant's Performance
Compensation Award has been earned for the Performance Period.

(iii)     Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall
meet to review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved
and, if so, to calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the
Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the actual size of each Participant's Performance Compensation Award for the Performance
Period.

(iv)     [Intentionally omitted]

(v)     The Performance Compensation Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants
as soon as administratively possible following completion of the certifications required by Section 13(e)(iii), unless the Committee shall
determine that any Performance Compensation Award shall be deferred.

(vi)     In no event shall any discretionary authority granted to the
Committee by the Plan be used to (1) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Compensation Awards for a Performance Period if
the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained, or (2) increase a Performance Compensation Award for any Participant
at any time after the first 90 days of the Performance Period (or, if shorter, the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m)); provided,
however, that such 90 day restriction shall not apply to Performance Compensation Awards initially granted subsequent to December 31,
2017.

(vii)     With respect to Performance Compensation Awards initially granted subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Committee may, in its
discretion, either at the time it grants a Performance Compensation Award or at any time thereafter, provide for the positive or negative
adjustment of the Performance Goals applicable to a Performance Compensation Award granted to any Participant to reflect such Participant’s
individual performance in his or her position with the Company or such other factors as the Committee may determine. If permitted under
a Participant’s Award Agreement, the Committee shall have the discretion, on the basis of such criteria as may be established by
the Committee, to reduce some or all of the value of the Performance Compensation Award that would otherwise be paid to the Participant
upon its settlement notwithstanding the attainment of any Performance Goal and the resulting value of the Performance Compensation Award
determined in accordance with the Performance Formula.

    	A-14 

     

    

PART IV.

TERM OF PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

SECTION 14.     TERM OF PLAN. The Plan
shall continue in effect until (i) midnight on June 30, 2030, or (ii) until terminated under Section 15 of the Plan or extended by an
amendment approved by the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 15(a).

SECTION 15.     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

(a)     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may amend or terminate the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board
may deem advisable (including, but not limited to amendments which the Board deems appropriate to enhance the Company’s ability
to claim deductions related to stock option exercises); provided that to the extent required by the Code or the rules of Nasdaq (or if
Nasdaq shall cease to be the principal exchange or quotation system upon which the shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted, then the
rules of such exchange or quotation system as the Company elects to list or quote its shares of Common Stock) or the SEC, shareholder
approval shall be required for any amendment of the Plan. Subject to the foregoing, it is specifically intended that the Board or Committee
may amend the Plan without shareholder approval to comply with legal, regulatory and listing requirements and to avoid unanticipated consequences
deemed by the Committee to be inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan or any Award Agreement.

(b)     PARTICIPANTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, and sub-plans as may be necessary or desirable to comply
with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries may operate to assure the viability of the benefits
from Awards granted to Participants performing services in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan.

(c)     EFFECT OF AMENDMENT
OR TERMINATION. Any amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards already granted and such Awards shall remain in full
force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the
Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.

SECTION 16.     SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The effectiveness
of the Plan, or any amendment thereof requiring approval of the shareholders of the Company, is subject to approval by the shareholders
of the Company in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules (or if Nasdaq shall cease to be the principal exchange or quotation system

“Company”), and Howard S. Jonas (the “Executive Chairman”).

 

WHEREAS, on June 13, 2022,
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has named Mr. Jonas as the Executive Chairman of the Company, which is
an executive officer position (in addition to his existing role as the Chairman of the Board of the Company), and in such Mr. Jonas will
be providing strategic guidance and other services to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates;

 

WHEREAS, in recognition of
the Mr. Jonas’ experience and abilities, the Company desires to assure itself of the continued employment of Mr. Jonas in accordance
with the terms and conditions provided herein; and

 

WHEREAS, Mr. Jonas wishes
to continue to perform services for the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions provided herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the promises and the respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Term.
This Agreement is for the period commencing on June 13, 2022 (the “Start Date”), and terminating on June 12, 2027 (the “Initial
Term”), or upon the Executive Chairman’s earlier death or other termination of employment pursuant to Section 6 hereof; provided,
however, that commencing on June 113, 2027 and each anniversary thereafter, the term shall automatically be extended for one additional
year beyond its otherwise scheduled expiration unless, not later than ninety (90) days prior to any such anniversary, either party hereto
shall have notified the other party in writing that such extension shall not take effect (the Initial Term and any extensions thereof,
the “Term”).

 

2. Position.
During the Term, Mr. Jonas shall serve as the Executive Chairman of the Company, and, subject to election by the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”), as Chairman of the Board, or in such other positions as shall be agreed upon by Mr. Jonas and the
Board.

 

3. Duties
and Reporting Relationship. During the Term, the Executive Chairman shall use his skills and render services to the best of his abilities
on behalf of the Company. The Executive Chairman shall dedicate as much time as is, in the judgment of the Board, necessary or advisable
for the performance of his duties hereunder, it being acknowledged that the position is not a full-time position. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Executive Chairman will be serving as the Chairman of the Board of IDT Corporation, Genie
Energy, Ltd., and IDW Media Holdings, Inc., and as Vice Chairman of the Board of Zedge, Inc., as well as in certain other positions with
businesses and not-for-profit entities, and that, for so long as the Executive Chairman performs his duties hereunder, such service shall
not be deemed to be a breach of the terms hereof.

 

4. Place
of Performance. The Executive Chairman shall perform his duties and conduct his business at the offices of the Company and other locations
as determined by the Executive Chairman and not reasonably objected to by the Board.

 

     

     

    

 

5. Compensation
and Related Matters.

 

(a) Base
Salary; Bonus.

 

(i) During 
the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive Chairman a base salary of TWO HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($260,000) per annum. TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000) per annum of such amount shall be payable through the issuance of restricted shares of Class B common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Class B Stock”), such shares to be issued pursuant to the Company’s
2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended, modified, restated or replaced from time to time) or other equity incentive
plan adopted by the Company (the “Plan”), subject to payment of applicable taxes and customary withholdings. The remaining
amount will be paid on a prorated basis less payroll deductions and required withholdings, in accordance
with the Company’s standard payroll procedures.

 

(ii) The
portion of the base salary payable through the issuance of Class B Stock shall be paid on an annual basis, by issuance of shares of Class
B Stock no later than thirty (30) days following the Start Date and each annual anniversary of the Start Date. On each such date, the
Company shall issue to the Executive Chairman (pursuant to the Plan) a number of restricted shares of Class B Stock as shall have a value
equal to TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000) representing the base salary for the period from such annual anniversary until
the next succeeding annual anniversary. All shares of Class B Stock issued in respect of the Executive Chairman’s base salary shall
vest in substantially equal amounts on the three (3) six (6), nine (9) and twelve (12) month anniversaries of the Start Date or annual
anniversary, as applicable, subject to the Executive Chairman remaining in continuous service (as defined in the Plan) with the Company
through such vesting dates. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7 hereof, upon any termination of Employee’s Employment (or
other continuous service), all unvested shares of Class B Stock issued hereunder shall be forfeited and returned to the Company without
any further action necessary.

 

(iii) Within
thirty (30) days following the Start Date, the Company shall issue to the Executive Chairman, under the Plan, a number of restricted shares
of Class B Stock with a value of SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($600,000), subject to payment of applicable taxes and customary withholdings.
Such restricted shares of Class B Stock shall vest in substantially equal amounts on the first and second annual anniversaries of the
Start Date, subject to the Executive Chairman remaining in continuous service (as defined in the Plan) with the Company through such vesting
dates. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7 hereof, upon any termination of Employee’s Employment (or other continuous service),
all unvested shares of Class B Stock issued hereunder shall be forfeited and returned to the Company without any further action necessary.

 

(iv) For
purposes of determining the number of shares of Class B Stock to be granted, all shares shall be valued based on the volume weighted closing
prices of the Class B Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the thirty (30) NYSE trading days ending with the
NYSE trading day immediately preceding the issuance. If the Class B Stock is not listed on the NYSE, the closing prices on the then principal
exchange or quotation system on which the Class B Stock is traded, listed of quoted. If the Class B Stock is not listed on an exchange
or quoted on a quotation system, the Executive Chairman and the Company will enter into good faith discussions of alternative payment
of the Executive Chairman’s base salary.

 

    2

     

    

 

(v) The
Executive Chairman shall be eligible to receive bonuses and participate in equity grants made to senior employees of the Company, at levels
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board.

 

(b) Business
Expenses. The Executive Chairman will be reimbursed for all ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by him in connection
with his employment (including without limitation, expenses for travel and entertainment incurred in conducting or promoting business
for the Company) upon submission by the Executive Chairman of receipts and other documentation in accordance with the Company’s
normal reimbursement procedures.

 

6. Termination.
The Executive Chairman’s employment hereunder may be terminated without breach of the Agreement only under the following circumstances:

 

(a) Death;
Disability. The Executive Chairman’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death or, as permitted by law, Disability.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the inability of the Executive Chairman to perform his duties on account
of a physical or mental illness for a period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or one hundred eighty (180) days in any ten
(10) month period, and the term “Disabled” shall have a corresponding meaning.

 

(b) Cause.
The Company may terminate the Executive Chairman’s employment hereunder with or without “Cause.” For purposes of this
Agreement, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate the Executive Chairman’s employment hereunder (i) upon the Executive
Chairman’s conviction for the commission of an act or acts constituting a felony under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof, or (ii) upon the Executive Chairman’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his duties hereunder (other
than any such failure resulting from the Executive Chairman’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after written notice
has been delivered to the Executive Chairman by the Company, which notice specifically identifies the manner in which the Executive Chairman
has not substantially performed his duties, and the Executive Chairman’s failure to substantially perform his duties is not cured
within ten (10) business days after notice of such failure has been given to the Executive Chairman. For purposes of this Section 6(b),
no act or failure to act on the Executive Chairman’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done or omitted to be done,
by the Executive Chairman not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive Chairman’s act, or failure to act,
was in the best interest of the Company.

 

(c) Termination
by the Executive Chairman. The Executive Chairman may terminate his employment hereunder for “Good Reason” or without
Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence (without the Executive Chairman’s express written consent) of any
one of the following acts by the Company, or failure by the Company to act:

 

(i) a
material breach of the Agreement by the Company;

 

(ii) the
assignment to the Executive Chairman of any duties inconsistent with the Executive Chairman’s status as an officer of the Company
or a material adverse alteration in the nature or status of the Executive Chairman’s responsibilities; or

 

    3

     

    

 

(iii) any
purported termination of the Executive Chairman’s employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying
the requirement of paragraph (d) below; for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective.

 

(iv) a
material reduction in the Executive Chairman’s annual Base Salary;

 

(v) relocation
of the Executive Chairman’s principal place of employment to a location more than 50 miles outside of the Metropolitan New York
City area; or

 

(vi) a
“Change in Control,” as defined in the Plan,

 

(each of the foregoing being a “Good Reason
Event”). The Executive Chairman may terminate employment for Good Reason if (A) the Executive Chairman has given written notice
to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason Event no later than ninety (90) days after its initial existence, (B) the Company has
not remedied such Good Reason Event in all material respects within thirty (30) business days after its receipt of such written notice,
and (C) the Executive Chairman terminated employment within one year following the initial existence of such Good Reason Event.

 

The Executive Chairman’s right to terminate
the Executive Chairman’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive Chairman’s incapacity due to physical
or mental illness. The Executive Chairman’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect
to any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination shall not be treated as
a Termination for Good Reason if the Executive Chairman shall have consented in writing to the occurrence of the event giving rise to
the claim of Termination for Good Reason.

 

(d) Notice
of Termination. Any termination of the Executive Chairman’s employment by the Company or by the Executive Chairman (other than
termination by reason of the Executive Chairman’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto in accordance with Section 11 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice
that shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and, if the termination is by the Company for “Cause”
or by the Executive Chairman for “Good Reason,” shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of the Executive Chairman’s employment under the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination
for Cause or Disability must include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire
membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board (after reasonable notice to the Executive Chairman and an opportunity for the Executive
Chairman, together with the Executive Chairman’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion
of the Board, the Executive Chairman was guilty of conduct set forth in the definition of Cause herein or satisfied the criteria of a
Disability, and specifying the particulars thereof.

 

    4

     

    

 

(e) Date
of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean if the Executive Chairman’s employment is terminated (i) by his
death, the date of his death, (ii) by reason of Disability, the date that the Executive Chairman is informed that the Board has determined
him to be Disabled, (iii) by resignation of the Executive Chairman without Good Reason, the date the Executive Chairman so notifies the
Board, or (iv) pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) above, the date specified in the Notice of Termination; provided, however,
that if within fifteen (15) business days after any Notice of Termination is given, or if later, prior to the Date of Termination (as
determined without regard to this Section 6(e)), the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute
exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual
written agreement of the parties or by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable
or with respect to which the time for appeal, therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided further that the
Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such notice
pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.

 

(f) Compensation
During Dispute. If a purported termination occurs during the Term of this Agreement, and such termination is disputed in accordance
with Section 6(e) hereof, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive Chairman the full compensation in effect when the notice giving
rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, Base Salary) and continue the Executive Chairman as a participant in all
compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which the Executive Chairman was participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute
was given, until the dispute is finally resolved. Amounts paid under this Section 6(f) are in addition to all other amounts due under
this Agreement and shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts due under this Agreement.

 

7. Compensation
Upon Termination.

 

(a) Death;
Disability. In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, then as soon as practicable
thereafter, the Company shall pay the Executive Chairman or the Executive Chairman’s Beneficiary (as defined in Section 10(b) hereof),
as the case may be, (i) all unpaid amounts, if any, to which the Executive Chairman was entitled as of the Date of Termination under Section
5 hereof and (ii) all unpaid amounts to which the Executive Chairman was then entitled in respect of perquisites or other reimbursements
(the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above being hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”). In addition,
in the event of the Executive Chairman’s death, the Company shall pay Employee’s estate a lump sum payment equal to twelve
(12) months of any cash portion of Employee’s base salary (at the rate in effect on the date of his death) (the “Severance
Benefit”). Any restrictions shall lapse, and any unvested equity grants in the Company or its subsidiaries granted to the Executive
Chairman in connection with his service to the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of his base salary (“Equity Grants”)
shall vest upon a termination pursuant to Section 6(a).

 

(b) Termination
for Cause; Resignation without Good Reason. If the Executive Chairman’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or
by the Executive Chairman other than for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay all Accrued Obligations to the Executive Chairman, and
the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive Chairman under this Agreement.

 

(c) Termination
Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. If the Company shall terminate the Executive Chairman’s employment, other than for
Cause or on the Executive Chairman’s death or Disability, or the Executive Chairman shall terminate his employment for Good Reason,
then;

 

    5

     

    

 

(i) the
Company shall pay to the Executive Chairman, within ten (10) days (or such shorter period as shall be required by applicable law) after
the Date of Termination, the Accrued Obligations;

 

(ii) the
Company shall pay the Executive Chairman the Severance Benefit within sixty (60) days of the Date of Termination; and

 

(iii) any
restrictions with respect to any Equity Grants shall lapse, and any unvested Equity Grants in the Company or its subsidiaries shall vest.

 

(d) As
a condition to receiving any Severance Benefit, the Executive Chairman will be required to execute and deliver the Company’s standard
release agreement (the “Release Agreement”) within twenty-one (21) days after the Date of Termination (unless applicable law
requires a longer time period, in which case this date will be extended to the minimum time required by applicable law), and not thereafter
revoke such agreement.

 

8. Non-Disclosure.
(a) The parties hereto agree, recognize and acknowledge that during the Term the Executive Chairman shall obtain knowledge of confidential
information regarding the business and affairs of the Company. It is therefore agreed that the Executive Chairman will respect and protect
the confidentiality of all confidential information pertaining to the Company, and will not disclose in any fashion such confidential
information to any person (other than a person who is a director of, or who is employed by, the Company or any subsidiary or who is engaged
to render services to the Company or any subsidiary), without the prior written consent of the Company, (i) unless required in the course
of the Executive Chairman’s employment hereunder, or (ii) unless such disclosure is pursuant to subsection (b) below, or Employee
has an independent right or obligation to make such disclosure pursuant to applicable local, state or federal law. This Agreement does
not limit Employee’s ability to communicate with the Securities Exchange Commission or otherwise participate in any investigation
or proceeding that may be conducted by the Securities Exchange Commission, including providing documents or other information, without
notice to the Company. This Agreement further does not limit Employee’s ability to communicate with any other government agency
or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents
or other information, without notice to the Company, where such limitation would be contrary to law.

 

(b) Notice of Immunity: The
Executive Chairman acknowledges that via this paragraph Company is providing the Executive Chairman with written notice that the Defend
Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), provides that (i) an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under
any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government
official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation
of law, or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal, and (ii)
an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer’s
trade secret to the individual’s attorney and use such trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual files
any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

 

    6

     

    

 

9. Covenant
Not to Compete.

 

(a) Employee
hereby agrees that for a period of one (1) year following the termination of this Agreement (other than a termination of the Executive
Chairman’s employment (i) by the Executive Chairman for Good Reason or (ii) by the Company other than for Cause) (the “Restricted
Period”) the Executive Chairman shall not, directly or indirectly, whether acting individually or through any person, firm, corporation,
business or any other entity:

 

(i) engage
in, or have any interest in any person, firm, corporation, business or other entity (as an officer, director, employee, agent, stockholder,
or other security holder, creditor, consultant or otherwise) that engages in any business activity where a substantial aspect of the business
of the Company is conducted, or planned to be conducted, at any time during the Restricted Period, which business activity is the same
as, similar to or competitive with the Company as the same may be conducted from time to time;

 

(ii) interfere
with any contractual relationship that may exist from time to time of the business of the Company, including, but not limited to, any
contractual relationship with any director, officer, employee, or sales agent, or supplier of the Company; or

 

(iii) solicit,
induce or influence, or seek to induce or influence, any person who currently is, or from time to time may be, engaged or employed by
the Company (as an officer, director, employee, agent, or independent contractor) to terminate his or her employment or engagement by
the Company.

 

(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Employee, directly or indirectly, may own publicly traded stock constituting not more than
five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of such class of stock of any corporation covered by clause (a)(i) above if, and as long as,
Employee is not an officer, director, employee or agent of, or consultant or advisor to, or has any other relationship or agreement with
such corporation.

 

(c) Employee
acknowledges that the non-competition provisions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary, in view of the nature of the
Company and his knowledge thereof, in order to protect the legitimate interests of the Company.

 

10. Successors;
Binding Agreement.

 

(a) The
Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive Chairman,
to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to
perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness
of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive Chairman to compensation from the Company in
the same amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if he terminated his employment for Good Reason, except that
for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.
As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as defined herein defined and any successor to its business and/or
assets as aforesaid that executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 10 or that otherwise becomes bound by all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

 

    7

     

    

 

(b) This
Agreement and all rights of the Executive Chairman hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforced by the Executive Chairman’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributee, devisee, and legatees. If the Executive
Chairman should die while any amounts should still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive Chairman’s devisee, legatee, or other
designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive Chairman’s estate (any of which is referred to herein as a “Beneficiary”).

 

11. Notice.
For purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or (unless otherwise specified) mailed by United States certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, postage paid, addressed as follows:

or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the
other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

 

12. Miscellaneous.
No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
signed by the Executive Chairman and such other officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either
party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto, or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be
performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or prior or subsequent
time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made
by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of New Jersey without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

 

13. Validity.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability if
any such other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

14. Remedies
of the Company.  Upon any termination for Cause that may cause irreparable harm to the Company or upon the violation of
the provisions of Section 8 or 9 hereof, the Company shall be entitled, if it so elects, to institute and prosecute proceedings to obtain
injunctive relief and damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, with respect
to such termination.

 

    8

     

    

 

15. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together
will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

16. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect
of the subject matter contained herein and, other than non-disclosure, non-compete or similar agreements, supersede any and all other
prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer,
employee or representative of any party hereto, and in prior agreements of the parties hereto in respect to the subject matter contained
herein is hereby terminated and canceled.

 

17. Special
Rules Regarding Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(a) It is intended that any
and all benefits under this Agreement either (i) shall not constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), and therefore are exempt from Section 409A or (ii) are subject
to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” and exempt from Section 409A under the “short−term deferral rule”
set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A−1(b)(4). In any event, all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted
in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if the Company determines that the Severance Benefit constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A, payment of such Severance Benefit shall not commence until the Executive Chairman incurs a “separation
from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A−1(h) (“Separation from Service”). If, at
the time of Employee’s Separation from Service, the Executive Chairman is a “specified employee” (under Section 409A),
such Severance Benefit shall not be paid until after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six−month period measured from the
date of Employee’s Separation from Service with the Company, or (ii) the date of the Executive Chairman’s death (the “409A
Suspension Period”).

 

(c) The determination of whether
the Severance Benefit constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made by
the Company in good faith. If the Company determines that such Severance Benefit is subject to the 409A Suspension Period, and the Executive
Chairman does not believe that such determination is reasonable, then the Company and the Executive Chairman shall mutually select, at
the Company’s expense, an independent outside counsel to render a legal opinion regarding the applicability of the 409A Suspension
Period. If the outside counsel described in the preceding sentence agrees with the Company’s determination that any items due to
the Executive Chairman under this agreement should be subject to the 409A Suspension Period, then such payment shall be made at the end
of the 409A Suspension Period as set forth in Section 17(b) hereof; provided however, if such outside counsel determines that such payment
shall not be subject to the 409A Suspension Period, then such payment shall be effected within fourteen (14) days of the date of such
counsel’s determination.

 

    9

     

    

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive
Chairman has executed this Employment Agreement, and the Company has caused this Employment Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized
representative, as of the date and year first above written.
