resolutions of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries, stockholders,
Directors, Employees, Consultants, Participants and their estates and beneficiaries.

Authority of the Board. The Board may reserve to itself or delegate to any of its committees any or all of the authority
or responsibility of the Board under the Plan, and the Board may delegate to any of its committees the power to act as the administrator
of the Plan for any and all purposes. To the extent the Board has delegated any such authority or responsibility to a committee
or during any time that a committee is acting as administrator of the Plan, such committee shall have all the powers of the Board
hereunder, and any reference herein to the Board (other than in this Section 4(c)) shall include such committee. To the extent

Exercise of Stock Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in a related Award Agreement, a Stock Option
may be exercised for all or any portion of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. A Stock Option shall be exercised by the
delivery of a notice of exercise to the Company or its designee in a form specified by the Company which sets forth the number
of Shares with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised and full payment of the exercise price for such Shares. The
exercise price of a Stock Option may be paid, in the discretion of the Board and as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement:
(i) in cash or its equivalent; (ii) by tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired Shares having an
aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price; (iii) by a cashless exercise (including
by withholding Shares deliverable upon exercise and through a broker-assisted arrangement to the extent permitted by Applicable
Laws); (iv) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (i), (ii) and/or (iii); or (v) through any other method approved
by the Board in its sole discretion. As soon as practicable after receipt of the notification of exercise and full payment of the
exercise price, the Company shall cause the appropriate number of Shares to be issued to the Participant.

in no event shall the exercise price per Share of any Stock Appreciation Right be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant.

 

c.                  
Term. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Board and set forth in the related Award
Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any Stock Appreciation Right exceed ten (10) years from

and (ii) time-based vesting requirements.

Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in a related Award Agreement,

Right shall be exercised by the delivery of a notice of exercise to the Company or its designee in a form specified by the Company
which sets forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is to be exercised. Upon exercise, a Stock
Appreciation Right shall entitle a Participant to an amount equal to (a) the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on
the exercise date over (ii) the exercise price per Share, multiplied by (b) the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock
Appreciation Right is exercised. A Stock Appreciation Right may be settled in whole Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as specified
by the Board in the related Award Agreement.

 

8.            Restricted

for each Restricted Share, restrictions based on the achievement of specific Performance Objectives, time-based restrictions or
holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the Shares by the Company upon vesting of such Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise

and conditions.

 

c.

such Shares have been satisfied or lapse.

 

d.                 
Rights Associated with Restricted Shares during Restricted Period. During any restricted period applicable to Restricted
Shares: (i) the Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated; (ii)
unless otherwise provided in the related Award Agreement, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise full voting rights associated
with such Restricted Shares; and (iii) the Participant shall be entitled to all dividends and other distributions paid with respect
to such Restricted Shares during the restricted period. The Award Agreement may require that receipt of any dividends or other
distributions with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Shares

Shares that vest based on the achievement of Performance Objectives shall be accumulated until such Award is earned, and the dividends
or other distributions shall not be paid if the Performance Objectives are not satisfied.

equivalents shall not be paid if the Performance Objectives are not satisfied.

 

11.           Compliance
with Section 409A. Awards granted under the Plan shall be designed and administered in such a manner that they are either
exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that the Board
determines that any award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement shall incorporate
the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement (unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise with specific
reference to this Section): (i) an Award shall not be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out, settled, substituted
or modified under the Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the
Code upon a Participant; and (ii) if an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Participant holding the
award is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code, with such classification to be determined
in accordance with the methodology established by the Company), then, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of an additional
tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant, no distribution or payment of any amount shall be made before the
date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in
Section 409A of the Code) or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. Although the Company intends to administer
the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company
does not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 409A of the Code or
any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. The Company shall not be liable to any Participant for
any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of
any Award under the Plan.

 

    	9

    	 

    

  

12.             
Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, no Award or dividend equivalents paid with respect to
any Award shall be transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, that
if so determined by the Board, each Participant may, in a manner established by the Board or the Board, designate a beneficiary
to exercise the rights of the Participant with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant and to receive Shares or
other property issued or delivered under such Award. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights will be exercisable during a Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s
legal incapacity to do so, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Participant in a
fiduciary capacity under state law and/or court supervision.

 

13.             
Adjustments. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation), such as a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Board shall cause there to
be an equitable adjustment in the numbers of Shares specified in Section 3 of the Plan and, with respect to outstanding Awards,
in the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price or other price of Shares subject to outstanding
Awards, in each case to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants. In the event of any other change in corporate
capitalization, or in the event of a merger, consolidation, liquidation, or similar transaction, the Board may, in its sole discretion,
cause there to be an equitable adjustment as described in the foregoing sentence, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Board, the number of Shares subject to any Award shall
always be rounded down to a whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall not make any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 13 that would (i) cause an Award that is otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code to become subject to Section
409A, or (ii) cause an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. The
determination of the Board as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on all Participants and any
other persons claiming under or through any Participant.

 

14.             
Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any fractional Shares pursuant to the Plan
and, unless otherwise provided by the Board, fractional shares shall be settled in cash.

 

15.             
Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by Applicable Law, a Participant shall be required to satisfy, in a manner
satisfactory to the Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of a Stock Option
or Stock Appreciation Right exercise, the vesting of or settlement of Shares under an Award, an election pursuant to Section 83(b)
of the Code or otherwise with respect to an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to issue or deliver Shares,
make any payment or to recognize the transfer or disposition of Shares until such obligations are satisfied. The Board may permit
or require these obligations to be satisfied by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued
or delivered to a Participant upon exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the vesting or settlement of
an Award, or by permitting a Participation to tender Shares previously acquired, in each case having a Fair Market Value equal
to the minimum amount required to be withheld or paid. Any such elections are subject to such conditions or procedures as may be
established by the Board and may be subject to disapproval by the Board.

16.         Change
in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Board, in its sole discretion, may take such actions, if any, as it deems
necessary or desirable with respect to any Award that is outstanding as of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control.
Such actions may include, without limitation: (a) the acceleration of the vesting, settlement and/or exercisability of an Award;
(b) the payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation of an Award; (c) the cancellation of Stock Options and/or Stock
Appreciation Rights without payment therefor if the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the Change in Control and the
amount to be received in exchange for a Share in the Change in Control does not exceed the exercise price per Share of the applicable
Awards; and/or (d) the issuance of substitute Awards that substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected
Awards.

 

		17.	Amendment, Modification and Termination.

 

a.                  
In General. The Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole
or in part; provided, however, that no alteration or amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the
Plan to comply with any rule promulgated by the SEC or any securities exchange on which Shares are listed or any other Applicable
Laws shall be effective unless such amendment shall be approved by the requisite vote of stockholders of the Company entitled to
vote thereon within the time period required under such applicable listing standard or rule.

 

b.                 
Adjustments to Outstanding Awards. The Board may in its sole discretion at any time (i) provide that all
or a portion of a Participant’s Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards in the nature of rights that may
be exercised shall become fully or partially exercisable; (ii) provide that all or a part of the time-based vesting restrictions
on all or a portion of the outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or that any Performance Objectives or other performance-based criteria
with respect to any Awards shall be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied; or (iii) waive any other limitation or requirement
under any such Award, in each case, as of such date as the Board may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Board shall not make
any adjustment pursuant to this Section 17(b) that would cause an Award that is otherwise exempt from Section 409A of
the Code to become subject to Section 409A, or that would cause an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code
to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

 

c.                  
Effect on Outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (other than Sections 13,
16, 17(b) and 19(d)), no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely
affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding
such Award.

 

18.          Applicable
Laws. The obligations of the Company with respect to Awards under the Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Laws and such
approvals by any governmental agencies as the Board determines may be required. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Georgia, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction
or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

 

    	11

    	 

    

  

		19.	Miscellaneous.

 

a.                Deferral
of Awards. Except with respect to Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Shares, the Board may permit Participants
to elect to defer the issuance or delivery of Shares or the settlement of Awards in cash under the Plan pursuant to such rules,
procedures or programs as it may establish for purposes of the Plan. The Board also may provide that deferred issuances and settlements
include the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents or interest on the deferral amounts. All elections and deferrals permitted
under this provision shall comply with Section 409A of the Code, including setting forth the time and manner of the election
(including a compliant time and form of payment), the date on which the election is irrevocable, and whether the election can be
changed until the date it is irrevocable.

 

b.                No Right
of Continued Employment. The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment
or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary
would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment or other service at any time. No Employee, Consultant or
Director shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to
receive future Awards.

 

c.                 Unfunded,
Unsecured Plan. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan, acquire any right
or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, including without limitation, any specific funds, assets
or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary may set aside in anticipation of any liability under the Plan. A Participant
shall have only a contractual right to an Award or the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the
Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

 

d.                 Severability.
If any provision of the Plan is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan
or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope
to conform to Applicable Laws or, in the discretion of the Board, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan shall remain
in full force and effect.

 

e.                 
Acceptance of Plan. By accepting any benefit under the Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through
any such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated their acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all of
the terms and conditions of the Plan and any action taken under the Plan by the Board or the Company, in any case in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

f.                  
Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan and with respect to Awards shall be binding on any successor
to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation,
or other event, or a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company and references
to the “Company” herein and in any Award Agreements shall be deemed to refer to such successors.
