to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be awarded and sold under the Plan
is One Million Two Hundred Thousand (1,200,000) Shares. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

 

(b)     Lapsed
Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or, with respect to Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, the unpurchased
Shares (or for Awards other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject
thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Upon exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right settled in Shares, the gross number of Shares covered by the portion of the Award so settled will cease to be
available under the Plan. Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan
and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if unvested Shares of Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company,
such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares subject to an Award that are transferred to or retained
by the Company to pay the tax and/or exercise price of an Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan.
To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the
number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan and, for the elimination of doubt, the number of Shares of equal value to
such cash payment shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3(b), subject to adjustment provided in Section 14 hereof, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the
exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a) above, plus, to the extent
allowable under Section 422 of the Code, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan under this Section 3(b).

 

(c)     Share
Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

of the Plan.

 

(a)          Procedure.

different groups of Service Providers; in that event, the Committee established with respect to a group of Service Providers shall
administer the Plan with respect to Awards granted to members of such group.

 

		(ii)	Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable
to qualify Awards granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the Code, and if the Company is then a “publicly held corporation” as defined therein, the Plan will be administered
by a Committee of two (2) or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

		(iii)	Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule
16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

 

		(iv)	Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan will be administered by (A) the
Board or (B) a Committee, which committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.

 

(b)          Powers
of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties
delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

		(ii)	to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

 

		(iii)	to determine the terms and condition, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award

		(viii)	to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to reflect
or implement the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

 

		(ix)	to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that
would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine consistent
with the requirements for compliance with or exemption from the provisions of Code Section 409A; and

 

		(x)	to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

 

(c)          Effect

5.             Eligibility.
Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, Performance
Shares, and such other cash or stock awards as the Administrator determines may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Employees.

 

6.             Stock
Options.

 

(a)          Limitations.

 

		(i)	Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the
Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (U.S.), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory
Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which
they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares
is granted.

 

		(ii)	Subject to the limits set forth in Section 3, the Administrator will have complete discretion to
determine the number of Shares subject to an Option granted to any Participant.

 

(b)          Term
of Option. The Administrator will determine the term of each Option in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the term
will be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof in the case of Incentive Stock Options Moreover, in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of
the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(c)           Option
Exercise Price and Consideration.

 

		(i)	Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise
of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, but will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant. In addition, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option
is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the per Share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c), Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to the issuance or assumption of an Option in a transaction to which
Section 424(a) of the Code applies in a manner consistent with said Section 424(a).

 

		(ii)	Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will
fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option
may be exercised.

 

		(iii)	Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form(s) of consideration
for exercising an Option, including the method of payment, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws including but not limited
to tendering capital stock of the Company owned by a Participant, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company.

 

(d)          Exercise
of Option.

 

		(i)	Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.
Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

An Option
will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator specifies from
time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which
the Option is exercised (together with any applicable withholding taxes). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 hereof.

 

    	-8-

    	 

    

 

		(ii)	Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service
Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the
Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that
the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth
in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three
(3) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination
the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert
to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by Award Agreement
or by operation of this Section 6(d)(3), the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

 

		(iii)	Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result
of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified
in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of cessation (but in no event later than the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option
will remain exercisable for six (6) months following the date the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider. Unless otherwise
provided by the Administrator, if on the date of cessation the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after cessation the Participant does not exercise his
or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to
the Plan.

 

		(iv)	Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be
exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date
of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Award Agreement), by the Participant’s beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s
death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option
may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred
pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified
time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for six (6) months following Participant’s death. Unless
otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will continue to vest in accordance with the Award Agreement. If the Option
is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert
to the Plan.

the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

 

(e)        Expiration
of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the

which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. After
the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any restrictions for such Restricted
Stock Units. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the vesting criteria,
and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion will determine. The Administrator, in its discretion,
may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed, subject to the prohibition on acceleration of the timing
of distribution of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable to the Award.

 

(c)        Earning
Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout
as specified in the Award Agreement.

 

(d)        Form
and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) set forth
in the Award Agreement, which shall satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable to such Award.
The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof. Shares
represented by Restricted Stock Units that are fully paid in cash again will be available for grant under the Plan.

 

(e)         Cancellation.
On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.

 

(f)          Section
162(m) Performance Restrictions. For purposes of qualifying grants of Restricted Stock Units as “performance-based compensation”
under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon the achievement of
Performance Goals. The Performance Goals will be set by the Administrator on or before the Determination Date. In granting Restricted
Stock Units which are intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator will follow any procedures determined
by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Award under Section 162(m) of the Code
(e.g., in determining the Performance Goals).

10.           Performance
Units and Performance Shares.

 

(a)          Grant
of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from
time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion
in determining the number of Performance Units/Shares granted to each Participant.

 

(b)         Value
of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or
before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date
of grant.

 

(c)          Performance
Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions. The Administrator
may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited
to, continued employment), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. Each Award of Performance Units/Shares
will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, will determine.

 

(d)         Earning
of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will
be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period,
to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have
been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any
performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.

 

(e)         Form
and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable
after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period or, if earlier, after the date on which a Participant’s interest
in such Performance Units/Shares is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, provided however, that in no event shall
such payment be made after the later to occur of (i) December 31 of the year in which such risk of forfeiture lapses or (ii) two
and one-half months after such risk of forfeiture lapses. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance
Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance
Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof.

 

(f)          Cancellation
of Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares
will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.

 

(g)         Section
162(m) Performance Restrictions. For purposes of qualifying grants of Performance Units/Shares as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon
the achievement of Performance Goals. The Performance Goals will be set by the Administrator on or before the Determination Date.
In granting Performance Units/Shares which are intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator will
follow any procedures determined by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Award under
Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance Goals).

 

    	-13-

    	 

    

 

11.            Performance-Based
Compensation Under Code Section 162(m).

 

(a)         General.
If the Administrator, in its discretion, decides to grant an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation”
under Code Section 162(m), the provisions of this Section 11 will control over any contrary provision in the Plan; provided, however,
that the Administrator may in its discretion grant Awards that are not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation”
under Section 162(m) of the Code to such Participants that are based on Performance Goals or other specific criteria or goals but
that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 11.

 

(b)        Performance
Goals. The granting and/or vesting of Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance
Units and other incentives under the Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business
criteria within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and may provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement (“Performance
Goals”) including (i) earnings per Share, (ii) operating cash flow, (iii) operating income, (iv) profit
after-tax, (v) profit before-tax, (vi) return on assets, (vii) return on equity, (viii) return on sales, (ix) revenue,
and (x) total shareholder return. Any Performance Goals may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or
a business unit of the Company and may be measured relative to a peer group or index. The Performance Goals may differ from Participant
to Participant and from Award to Award. Prior to the Determination Date, the Administrator will determine whether any significant
element(s) will be included in or excluded from the calculation of any Performance Goal with respect to any Participant.

 

(c)         Procedures.
To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation provisions of Code Section 162(m), with respect to any
Award granted subject to Performance Goals, within the first twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period, but in no event
more than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any Performance Period (or such other time as may be required or permitted
by Code Section 162(m)), the Administrator will, in writing, (i) designate one or more Participants to whom an Award will be made,
(ii) select the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Period, (iii) establish the amounts of such Awards, as applicable,
which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (iv) specify the relationship between Performance Goals and the amounts
of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Participant for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance
Period but in no event later than December 31 of the year in which such Performance Period ends or, if later, the date that is
two and one-half months after the end of such Performance Period, the Administrator will certify in writing whether the applicable
Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period and pay any amount to which a Participant is entitled under an
Award with respect to such Performance Period. In determining the amounts earned by a Participant, the Administrator will have
the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account
additional factors that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance
Period. A Participant will be eligible to receive payment pursuant to an Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance
Goals for such period are achieved.

 

    	-14-

    	 

    

 

(d)        Additional
Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Participant and is intended to
constitute qualified performance based compensation under Code Section 162(m) will be subject to any additional limitations set
forth in the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m)) or any regulations and ruling issued thereunder that are requirements
for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan will be
deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

 

12.           Leaves
of Absence. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid
leave of absence. A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by
the Company, or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For
purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave
is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed,
then six (6) months and one day following the commencement of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will
cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

13.           Transferability
of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred,
or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime
of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred
(i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, (iii) to a revocable trust, or (iv) as permitted by Rule 701 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

14.        Adjustments;
Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

 

(a)        Adjustments.
In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,
or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the
Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended
to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the
number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the numerical Share limits set forth in Sections 3,
6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof.

 

(b)        Dissolution
or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any corporate separation or division,
including, but not limited to, a split-up, a split-off or a spin-off; a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving entity,
but the shares of Company stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property,
whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise; or the transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding
voting stock of the Company to another person or entity. the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable
prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law but otherwise
in its sole discretion may provide for: (i) the continuation Awards by the Company (if the Company is surviving entity or its parent;
(ii) the assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent; (iii) the substitution by the
surviving entity or its parent of rights with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Awards; or (iv) the cancellation
of such outstanding Rights without payment of any consideration provided that in the case of this clause (iv), the Administrator
will provide notice of its intention to cancel Award and offer a reasonable opportunity to exercise vested Awards.

 

    	-15-

    	 

    

 

(c)         Change
in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines,
including, without limitation, that each Award will be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation
or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”). The Administrator will
not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.

 

In the event that the
Successor Corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise
all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise
be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and, with respect to Restricted Stock Units, Performance
Shares and Performance Units, all Performance Goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels and all
other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted for in the
event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right will be fully vested and exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion,
and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

 

For the purposes of
this subsection (c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase
or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash,
or other securities or property) or, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right upon the exercise of which the Administrator determines
to settle in cash or a Performance Share or Performance Unit which the Administrator can determine to settle in cash, the fair
market value of the consideration received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on
the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen
by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in
Control is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a
Performance Share or Performance Unit, for each Share subject to such Award (or in the case of Performance Units, the number of
implied shares determined by dividing the value of the Performance Units by the per share consideration received by holders of
Common Stock in the Change in Control), to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation equal in fair market value to the
per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

 

    	-16-

    	 

    

 

Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 14(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more Performance
Goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such Performance Goals without the Participant’s
consent; provided, however, a modification to such Performance Goals only to reflect the Successor Corporation’s post-Change
in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

 

15.            Tax
Withholding

 

(a)         Withholding
Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have
the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy
federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with
respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

 

(b)        Withholding
Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time,
may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash,
(ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
amount required to be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
required to be withheld, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such
means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required
to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may
be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local
marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the
taxes are required to be withheld.

 

16.            No
Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing
the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s
right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Laws.

 

17.           Date
of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided
to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 

    	-17-

    	 

    

 

18.            Term
of Plan. Subject to Section 22 hereof, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board (the “Effective
Date”). It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 19 hereof;
provided, however, that such expiration shall not affect Awards then outstanding, and the terms and conditions of this Plan shall
continue to apply to such Awards.

 

19.            Amendment
and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a)         Amendment
and Termination. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

  

(b)         Stockholder
Approval. Subject to Section 22, the Company will obtain stockholder approval of the Plan and any Plan amendment to the extent
necessary or desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

 

(c)          Effect
of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any
Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing
and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

20.            Conditions
Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a)          Legal
Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance
and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company
with respect to such compliance.

 

(b)         Investment
Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention
to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

 

(c)         Restrictive
Legends. All Award Agreements and all securities of the Company issued pursuant thereto shall bear such legends regarding restrictions
on transfer and such other legends as the appropriate officer of the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable to comply
with applicable securities and other laws.

 

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

 

    	-18-

    	 

    

 

22.           Stockholder
Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date
the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable
Laws, including without limitation Section 422 of the Code. In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve
(12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, all Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder shall be void ab
initio and of no effect. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no Awards shall be exercisable until the date of
such stockholder approval.

 

23.           Notification
of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. If any Service Provider shall, in connection with the acquisition of Shares under
the Plan, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code, such Service Provider shall notify the Company of such election
within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service and provide the Company with a copy thereof,
in addition to any filing and a notification required pursuant to regulations issued under the authority of Section 83(b) of the
Code. A Service Provider shall not be permitted to make a Section 83(b) election with respect to an Award of a Restricted Stock
Unit.

 

24.           Notification
Upon Disqualifying Disposition Under Section 421(b) of the Code. Each Service Provider shall notify the Company of any disposition
of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the
Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), within ten (10) days of such disposition.

 

25.            409A
Timing Rule for Specified Employees. If at the time of a Service Provider’s separation from service, such individual
is considered a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any payment
that such Service Provider becomes entitled to under the Plan or any Award is deemed payable on account of such individual’s
separation from service, then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day
after the individual’s separation from service, or (ii) the individual’s death.

 

26.            Governing
Law. The law of the State of Nevada shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of
this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules, subject to the Company’s intention that the Plan
satisfy the requirements of jurisdictions outside of the United States of America with respect to Awards subject to such jurisdictions.

 

27.            General
Provisions.

 

(a)         No
Rights as Stockholder.     Except as specifically provided in this plan, a Participant or a transferee
of an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Award until the date of the issuance
of such shares to the Participant, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities
or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Stock is issued.

 

    	-19-

    	 

    

 

(b)         Other
Compensation Arrangements.     Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting
other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval is required; and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

(c)         Disqualifying
Dispositions.     Any participant who shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section
424 of the Code) of all or any portion of an Incentive Stock Option within two (2) years from the date of grant of such Incentive
Stock Option or within (1) year after the issuance of the shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option
shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the
sale of such shares of Stock.

 

(d)        Regulatory
Matters     Each Stock Option Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement shall provide that no shares
shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until (i) any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory
agencies shall have been fully compiled with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel and (ii) if required to do so by
the Company, the Optionee or Offeree shall have executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment intent in such form
and containing such provisions as the Board or Committee may require.

 

(e)        Delivery.     Upon
exercise of an Award granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Stock or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of
time thereafter. Subject to any statutory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, thirty days shall
be considered a reasonable period of time.

 

(f)          Other
Provisions.     The Stock Option Agreements and Stock Purchase Agreements authorized under the Plan
may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise
of the Rights, as the Administrator may deem advisable.

 

(g)         Section
409A. Awards under the Plan are intended either to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those
rules, and the Plan and such awards shall be construed accordingly. Granted rights may be modified at any time, in the Administrator’s
direction, so as to increase the likelihood of exemption from or compliance with the rules of Section 409A of the Code.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

AKOUSTIS
TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is entered into as of the ___ day of ______________, 20___ (the “Date of Grant”)

 

BETWEEN:

 

AKOUSTIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,
a company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”),

 

AND:

[_______________],
of ________________________________ (the “Optionee”).

 

WHEREAS:         

 

A.         The
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has approved and adopted the Akoustis Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), pursuant to which the Board is authorized to grant to employees and other selected
persons stock options to purchase common shares of the Company (the “Common Stock”);

 

B.         The
2015 Plan provides for the granting of stock options that either (i) are intended to qualify as “Incentive Stock Options”
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (ii) do not qualify
under Section 422 of the Code (“Nonstatutory Stock Options”); and

 

C.         The
Board has authorized the grant to Optionee of options to purchase a total of [_______________] ([____]) shares of Common
Stock (the “Options”), which Options are intended to be (select one):

 

[   ]         Incentive
Stock Options;

[   ]         Nonstatutory
Stock Options

 

NOW THEREFORE, the Company agrees to offer
to the Optionee the option to purchase, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, [__________]
([____]) shares of Common Stock. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the 2015 Plan.

 

1.         Exercise
Price. The exercise price of the options shall be US$[_____] per share.

 

2.         Limitation
on the Number of Shares. If the Options granted hereby are Incentive Stock Options, the number of shares which may be acquired
upon exercise thereof is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(a) of the 2015 Plan.

 

3.         Vesting
Schedule.  The Options shall vest in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

4.            Options
not Transferable. Subject to Section 13 of the 2015 Plan, the Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred,
or disposed of in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution
or, in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process; provided, however, that if the Options represent a Nonstatutory Stock Option, such Option
is transferable without payment of consideration to immediate family members of the Optionee or to trusts or partnerships established
exclusively for the benefit of the Optionee and Optionee’s immediate family members. Upon any attempt to transfer, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Option or of any right or privilege conferred by the 2015 Plan contrary to the provisions
thereof, or upon the sale, levy or attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred by the 2015 Plan, such
Option shall thereupon terminate and become null and void.

 

5.            Investment
Intent. By accepting the Options, the Optionee represents and agrees that none of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon
exercise of the Options will be distributed in violation of applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In addition, the
Company may require, as a condition of exercising the Options, that the Optionee execute an undertaking, in such a form as the
Company shall reasonably specify, that the Stock is being purchased only for investment and without any then-present intention
to sell or distribute such shares.

 

6.             Termination
of Employment and Options. Vested Options shall terminate, to the extent not previously exercised, upon the occurrence of the
first of the following events:

 

(a)         Expiration.
[__________] ([____]) years from the Date of Grant.

 

(b)         Termination
for Cause. The date of the first discovery by the Company of any reason for the termination of an Optionee’s employment
or contractual relationship with the Company or any related company for cause (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator
(as defined in the 2015 Plan)), and, if an Optionee’s employment is suspended pending any investigation by the Company as
to whether the Optionee’s employment should be terminated for cause, the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement and
the 2015 Plan shall likewise be suspended during the period of any such investigation.

 

(c)         Termination
Due to Death or Disability. Subject to Section 6(d)(iii) of the 2015 Plan, the expiration of six (6) months from the date of
the death of the Optionee or cessation of an Optionee’s employment or contractual relationship by reason of Disability (within
the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code) (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in
this Agreement). Subject to Section 6(d)(iv) of the 2015 Plan, if an Optionee’s employment or contractual relationship is
terminated by death, any Option held by the Optionee shall be exercisable only by the person or persons to whom such Optionee’s
rights under such Option shall pass by the Optionee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

(d)         Termination
for Any Other Reason. Subject to Section 6(d) of the 2015 Plan, the expiration of three (3) months from the date of an Optionee’s
termination of employment or contractual relationship with the Company or any affiliated company or subsidiary of the Company (a
“Related Corporation”) for any reason whatsoever other than termination of service for cause, death or Disability.

Each unvested Option granted pursuant hereto
shall terminate immediately upon termination of the Optionee’s employment or contractual relationship with the Company for
any reason whatsoever, including Disability unless vesting is accelerated in accordance with Sections 8(e) or 9(b) of the 2015
Plan.

 

7.           Stock.
In the case of any stock split, stock dividend or like change in the nature of shares of Stock covered by this Agreement, the number
of shares and exercise price shall be proportionately adjusted as set forth in Section 14(a) of the 2015 Plan.

 

8.            Exercise
of Option. Options shall be exercisable, in full or in part, at any time after vesting, until termination; provided, however,
that any Optionee who is subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, with respect to the Common Stock shall be precluded from selling or transferring any Common Stock or other security
underlying an Option during the six (6) months immediately following the grant of that Option. If less than all of the shares included
in the vested portion of any Option are purchased, the remainder may be purchased at any subsequent time prior to the expiration
of the Option term. No portion of any Option for less than fifty (50) shares (as adjusted pursuant to Section 14(a) of the 2015
Plan) may be exercised; provided, that if the vested portion of any Option is less than fifty (50) shares, it may be exercised
with respect to all shares for which it is vested. Only whole shares may be issued pursuant to an Option, and to the extent that
an Option covers less than one (1) share, it is unexercisable.

 

Each exercise of the Option shall be by
means of delivery of a notice of election to exercise (which may be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) to the Chief
Financial Officer of the Company at its principal executive office, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased
and accompanied by payment in cash by certified check or cashier’s check in the amount of the full exercise price for the
Common Stock to be purchased. In addition to payment in cash by certified check or cashier’s check, an Optionee or transferee
of an Option may pay for all or any portion of the aggregate exercise price by complying with one or more of the following alternatives:

 

(a)         by
delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock previously held by such person, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, or
by the Company withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable pursuant to exercise of the Option, which shares of Common
Stock received or withheld shall have a fair market value at the date of exercise (as determined by the Administrator) equal to
the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Optionee upon such exercise; or

 

(b)         by
complying with any other payment mechanism approved by the Administrator at the time of exercise.

 

    	- 3 -

    	 

    

 

It is a condition precedent to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock that the Optionee execute and/or deliver to the Company all documents and withholding taxes required
in accordance with Section 15 of the 2015 Plan.

 

9.         Holding
period for Incentive Stock Options. In order to obtain the tax treatment provided for Incentive Stock Options by Section 422
of the Code, the shares of Common Stock received upon exercising any Incentive Stock Options received pursuant to this Agreement
must be sold, if at all, after a date which is later of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement is entered into or one (1)
year from the date upon which the Options are exercised. The Optionee agrees to report sales of shares prior to the above determined
date to the Company within one (1) business day after such sale is concluded. The Optionee also agrees to pay to the Company, within
five (5) business days after such sale is concluded, the amount necessary for the Company to satisfy its withholding requirement
required by the Code in the manner specified in Section 15(a) of the 2015 Plan. Nothing in this Section 9 is intended as a representation
that Common Stock may be sold without registration under state and federal securities laws or an exemption therefrom or that such
registration or exemption will be available at any specified time.

 

10.         Resale
restrictions may apply. Any resale of the shares of Common Stock received upon exercising any Options will be subject to resale
restrictions contained in the securities legislation applicable to the Optionee. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the
Optionee is solely responsible (and the Company is not in any way responsible) for compliance with applicable resale restrictions.

 

11.         Subject
to 2015 Plan. The terms of the Options are subject to the provisions of the 2015 Plan, as the same may from time to time be
amended, and any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the 2015 Plan, as the same may be from time to time amended, shall
be governed by the provisions of the 2015 Plan, a copy of which has been delivered to the Optionee, and which is available for
inspection at the principal offices of the Company.

 

12.         Professional
Advice. The acceptance of the Options and the sale of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options may have consequences
under federal and state tax and securities laws which may vary depending upon the individual circumstances of the Optionee. Accordingly,
the Optionee acknowledges that he or she has been advised to consult his or her personal legal and tax advisor in connection with
this Agreement and his or her dealings with respect to Options. Without limiting other matters to be considered with the assistance
of the Optionee’s professional advisors, the Optionee should consider: (a) whether upon the exercise of Options, the Optionee
will file an election with the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code and the implications of alternative
minimum tax pursuant to the Code; (b) the merits and risks of an investment in the underlying shares of Common Stock; and (c) any
resale restrictions that might apply under applicable securities laws.

 

13.         No
Employment Commitment. The grant of the Options shall in no way constitute any form of agreement or understanding binding on
the Company or any Related Company, express or implied, that the Company or any Related Company will employ or contract with the
Optionee, for any length of time, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Company’s or, where applicable, a Related Company’s
right to terminate Optionee’s employment at any time, which right is hereby reserved.

14.         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement is the only agreement between the Optionee and the Company with respect to the Options, and this
Agreement and the 2015 Plan supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral and written statements and representations and contain
the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Options.
