 SECTION 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN 
  
 4.1. Limitations. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued with respect to Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall
not exceed 3,500,000 (subject to adjustment as provided in this Plan) unless increased or decreased by reason of changes in the capitalization of the Company as hereinafter provided or by amendment of this Plan. The Shares issued pursuant to this
Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, or may be issued Shares which have been reacquired by the Company. 
  
 4.2. Changes. To the extent that any Award granted pursuant to this Plan shall be forfeited, shall expire or shall be cancelled, in whole or in part, then
the number of Shares covered by the Award so forfeited, expired or cancelled may again be awarded pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. In the event that Shares are delivered to the Company in full or partial payment of the exercise price for the
exercise of a Stock Option, the number of Shares available for future Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall be reduced only by the net number of Shares issued upon the exercise of the Stock Option. Awards that may be satisfied either by the
issuance of Shares or by cash or other consideration shall, until the form of consideration to be paid is finally determined, be counted against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Plan. If the Award is ultimately
satisfied by the payment of consideration other than Shares, as, for example, a Stock Option granted in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right that is settled by a cash payment, such Shares may again be made the subject of an Award granted pursuant
to this Plan. Awards will not reduce the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Plan if the settlement of the Award will not require the issuance of Shares, as, for example, a Stock Appreciation Right that can be satisfied only by the
payment of cash. 
  
 SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY 
  
 Eligibility for participation in this Plan shall be confined to those individuals who
are employed by the Company or a Subsidiary and such Consultants and non-employee Directors as may be designated by the Committee or the Board. In making any determination as to Persons to whom Awards shall be granted, the type of Award and/or the
number of Shares to be covered by the Award, the Committee or the Board shall consider the position and responsibilities of the Person, the importance of the Person to the Company, the duties of the Person, the past, present and potential
contributions of the Person to the growth and success of the Company and such other factors as the Committee or the Board may deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of this Plan. 
  
 SECTION 6. STOCK OPTIONS 
  
 6.1. Grants. The Committee or the Board may grant Stock Options alone or in addition to other Awards granted pursuant to this
Plan to any eligible Person. Each Person so selected shall be offered a Stock Option to purchase the number of Shares 
  

 - 9 - 

 determined by the Committee or the Board. The Committee or the Board shall specify whether such Stock Option is an Incentive Stock
Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option and any other terms or conditions relating to such Award; provided, however only employees of the Company or a Subsidiary may be granted Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that any Stock Option designated as
an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its provisions, the failure of the shareholders of the Company to authorize the issuance of Incentive Stock Options, the time or manner of its exercise or
otherwise), such Stock Option or the portion thereof which does not qualify shall be deemed to constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Each Person to be granted a Stock Option shall enter into a written agreement with the Company, in such form as
the Committee or the Board may prescribe, setting forth the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the exercise price and vesting schedule) of the Stock Option. At any time and from time to time, the Optionee and the Committee or the
Board may agree to modify an option agreement in such respects as they may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, the conversion of an Incentive Stock Option into a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Committee or the Board may require that an
Optionee meet certain conditions before the Stock Option or a portion thereof may vest or be exercised, as, for example, that the Optionee remain in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary for a stated period or periods of time. 
  
 6.2. Incentive Stock Options Limitations. 
  
 (a) In no event shall any individual be granted Incentive Stock Options to the extent
that the Shares covered by any Incentive Stock Options (and any incentive stock options granted pursuant to any other plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries) that may be exercised for the first time by such individual in any calendar year have an
aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the date(s) on which the Incentive Stock Options are granted. It is intended that the limitation on Incentive Stock
Options provided in this Subsection 6.2(a) be the maximum limitation on Stock Options which may be considered Incentive Stock Options pursuant to the Code. 
  
 (b) The option exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value
of the Shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option on the date of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any employee owning more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of the
Company or any Subsidiary be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the option exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Incentive Stock
Option on the date of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option. 
  
 (d) In
no event shall any individual be granted an Incentive Stock Option after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date this Plan is adopted or is approved by the 
  

 - 10 - 

	shareholders	of the Company (if shareholder approval is required by Section 422 of the Code). 

  
 (e) To the extent shareholder approval of this Plan is required by Section 422 of the Code, no individual shall be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless this
Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is initially adopted. In the event this Plan is amended to increase the number of Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of
Incentive Stock Options or to change the class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, no individual shall be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless such amendment is approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12)
months before or after such amendment. 
  
 (f) No Incentive Stock Option
shall be granted to any employee owning more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of the Company or any Subsidiary unless the term of such Incentive Stock Option is equal to or less than five (5) years measured from the date on
which such Incentive Stock Option is granted. 
  
 6.3. Option Term.
The term of a Stock Option shall be for such period of time from the date of its grant as may be determined by the Committee or the Board; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable later than ten (10) years from the date
of its grant. 
  
 6.4. Time of Exercise. No Stock Option may be
exercised unless it is exercised prior to the expiration of its stated term and, in connection with options granted to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, at the time of such exercise, the Optionee is, and has been continuously since the
date of grant of such Stock Option, employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, except that: 
  
 (a) A Stock Option may, to the extent vested as of the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, be exercised during the three month period immediately following the date the Optionee ceases
(for any reason other than death, Disability or termination for Cause) to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary (or within such other period as may be specified in the applicable option agreement), provided that, if the Stock Option has been
designated as an Incentive Stock Option and the option agreement provides for a longer exercise period, the exercise of such Stock Option after such three-month period shall be treated as the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option; 
  
 (b) If the Optionee dies while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, or within
three months after the Optionee ceases (for a reason other than termination for Cause) to be such an employee (or within such other period as may be specified in the applicable option agreement), a Stock Option may, to the extent vested as of the
date of the Optionee’s death, be exercised by the Optionee’s Designated Beneficiary during the one year period immediately following the date of the Optionee’s death (or within such other period as may be specified in the applicable
option agreement); 
  

 - 11 - 

 (c) If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary by reason of the Optionee’s
Disability, a Stock Option, to the extent vested as of the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, may be exercised by the Optionee or the Optionee’s legal guardian during the one year period immediately
following such date (or within such other period as may be specified in the applicable option agreement); provided that, if the Stock Option has been designated as an Incentive Stock Option and the option agreement provides for a longer exercise
period, the exercise of such Stock Option after such one-year period shall be treated as the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option; and 
  
 (d) If the Optionee’s employment is terminated for Cause, all Stock Options held by such Optionee shall simultaneously terminate and will no longer be
exercisable. 
  
 Nothing contained in this Subsection 6.4 will be deemed to extend
the term of a Stock Option or to revive any Stock Option which has previously lapsed or been cancelled, terminated or surrendered. Stock Options granted under this Plan to Consultants or non-employee Directors will contain such terms and conditions
with respect to the death or disability of a Consultant or non-employee Director or termination of a Consultant’s or non-employee Director’s relationship with the Company as the Committee or the Board deems necessary or appropriate. Such
terms and conditions will be set forth in the option agreements evidencing the grant of such Stock Options. 
  
 6.5. Vesting of Stock Options. 
  
 (a) Each Stock Option granted pursuant to this Plan may only be exercised to the extent that the Optionee is vested in such Stock Option. Each Stock Option shall
vest separately in accordance with the option vesting schedule determined by the Committee or the Board, which will be incorporated in the option agreement entered into between the Company and such Optionee. The option vesting schedule may be
accelerated if, in the discretion of the Committee or the Board, the acceleration of the option vesting schedule would be in the best interests the Company. 
  
 (b) In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Stock Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall terminate as of a date to be fixed by the
Committee or Board; provided, however, that not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to each Optionee. During such period all Stock Options which have not previously been terminated, exercised or
surrendered will (subject to the provisions of Subsections 6.3 and 6.4) fully vest and become exercisable, notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth in the option agreement evidencing the grant of such Stock Option. Upon the date fixed
by the Committee or the Board, any unexercised Stock Options shall terminate and be of no further effect. 
  
 (c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all Stock Options and any associated Stock Appreciation Rights shall become fully vested and immediately
exercisable. 
  

 - 12 - 

 6.6. Manner of Exercise of Stock Options. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Stock Options may be exercised as to Shares only in amounts and at intervals of time
specified in the written option agreement between the Company and the Optionee. Each exercise of a Stock Option, or any part thereof, shall be evidenced by a written notice delivered by the Optionee to the Company. The purchase price of the Shares
as to which a Stock Option shall be exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise, and may be paid to the Company either: 
  
 (i) in cash (including check, bank draft or money order); or 
  
 (ii) by other consideration acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. 
  
 (b) If an Optionee delivers Shares (including Shares of Restricted Stock) already owned
by the Optionee in full or partial payment of the exercise price for any Stock Option, or if the Optionee elects to have the Company retain that number of Shares out of the Shares being acquired through the exercise of the Stock Option having a Fair
Market Value equal to the exercise price of the Stock Option being exercised, the Committee or the Board may, in its sole discretion, authorize the grant of a new Stock Option (a “Reload Option”) for that number of Shares equal to
the number of already owned Shares surrendered (including Shares of Restricted Stock) or newly acquired Shares being retained by the Company in payment of the option exercise price of the underlying Stock Option being exercised. The grant of a
Reload Option will become effective upon the exercise of the underlying Stock Option. The option exercise price of the Reload Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of the grant of the Reload Option. Each Reload
Option shall be exercisable no later than the time when the underlying stock option being exercised could be last exercised. The Committee or the Board may also specify additional terms, conditions and restrictions for the Reload Option and the
Shares to be acquired upon the exercise thereof. 
  
 (c) The amount, as
determined by the Committee or the Board, of any federal, state or local tax required to be withheld by the Company due to the exercise of a Stock Option shall, subject to the authorization of the Committee or the Board, be satisfied, at the
election of the Optionee, either (a) by payment by the Optionee to the Company of the amount of such withholding obligation in cash or other consideration acceptable to the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion (the “Non-Share
Method”) or (b) through either the retention by the Company of a number of Shares out of the Shares being acquired through the exercise of the Stock Option or the delivery of already owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
amount of the withholding obligation (the “Share Retention Method”). If an Optionee elects to use the Share Retention Method in full or partial satisfaction of any tax liability resulting from the exercise of a Stock Option, the
Committee or the Board may authorize the grant of a Reload Option for that number of Shares as shall equal the number of Shares used to satisfy the tax liabilities of 
  

 - 13 - 

 the Optionee arising out of the exercise of such Stock Option. Such Reload Option will be granted at the price and on the terms set
forth in Subsection 6.6 (b). The cash payment or an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares so withheld, as the case may be, shall be remitted by the Company to the appropriate taxing authorities. 
  
 (d) An Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with
respect to the Shares subject to a Stock Option except to the extent that such Stock Option is exercised and one or more certificates representing such Shares shall have been delivered to the Optionee. 
  
 SECTION 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
  
 7.1. Grants. The Committee or the Board may grant to any eligible Consultant,
non-employee Director or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary either Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights or Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee or the Board
shall impose. The grant of the Stock Appreciation Right may provide that the holder will be paid for the value of the Stock Appreciation Right either in cash or in Shares, or a combination thereof, at the sole discretion of the Committee or the
Board. In the event of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right payable in Shares, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right shall receive that number of whole Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
value obtained by multiplying (i) either (a) in the case of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the per share exercise price of the related Stock Option, or (b) in
the case of a Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant by (ii) the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation
Right is exercised. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion, may place a ceiling on the amount payable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, but any such limitation shall be specified at the
time that the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. 
  
 7.2.
Exercisability. A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option (i) may be exercised at, and only at, the times and to the extent the related Incentive Stock Option is exercisable, (ii) will expire upon
the termination of the related Incentive Stock Option, (iii) may not exceed 100% of the difference between the exercise price of the related Incentive Stock Option and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the related Incentive Stock Option
at the time the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and (iv) may be exercised at, and only at, such times as the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the related Incentive Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of the related
Incentive Stock Option. A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with a Non-Qualified Stock Option will be exercisable as provided by the Committee or the Board and will have such other terms and conditions as the Committee or the
Board may determine. A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be transferred at, and only at, the times and to the extent the related Stock Option is transferable. If a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is granted, 
  

 - 14 - 

 there shall be surrendered and cancelled from the related Stock Option at the time of exercise of the Tandem Stock Appreciation
Right, in lieu of exercise pursuant to the related Stock Option, that number of Shares as shall equal the number of Shares as to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. 
  
 7.3. Certain Limitations on Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights. A Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable as provided by the Committee or the Board and will have such other terms and conditions as the Committee or the Board may determine. A Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is subject to acceleration of
vesting or immediate termination in certain circumstances in the same manner as Stock Options pursuant to Subsections 6.4 and 6.5 of this Plan. 
  
 7.4. Limited Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee and the Board may grant “Limited Stock Appreciation Rights,” either as Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights or Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights. Limited Stock Appreciation Rights will become exercisable only upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or such other event as the Committee or the Board may designate at the time of
grant or thereafter. 
  
 SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK 
  
 8.1. Grants. The Committee or the Board may grant Awards of Restricted Stock to
any Consultant, non-employee Director or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary for such minimum consideration, if any, as may be required by applicable law or such greater consideration as may be determined by the Committee or the Board, in its
sole discretion. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock shall be specified by the grant agreement. The Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion, may specify any particular rights which the Participant to whom a grant of Restricted
Stock is made shall have in the Restricted Stock during the restriction period and the restrictions applicable to the particular Award, the vesting schedule (which may be based on service, performance or other factors) and rights to acceleration of
vesting (including, without limitation, whether non-vested Shares are forfeited or vested upon termination of employment). Further, the Committee or the Board may grant performance-based Awards consisting of Restricted Stock by conditioning the
grant, or vesting or such other factors, such as the release, expiration or lapse of restrictions upon any such Award (including the acceleration of any such conditions or terms) of such Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance
goals or such other factors as the Committee or the Board may determine. The Committee or the Board shall also determine when the restrictions shall lapse or expire and the conditions, if any, pursuant to which the Restricted Stock will be forfeited
or sold back to the Company. Each Award of Restricted Stock may have different restrictions and conditions. Unless otherwise set forth in the grant agreement, Restricted Stock may not be sold, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of by the
recipient until the restrictions specified in the Award expire. Awards of Restricted Stock are subject to acceleration of vesting, termination of restrictions and termination in the same manner as Stock Options pursuant to Subsections 6.4 and
6.5 of this Plan. 
  

 - 15 - 

 8.2. Awards and Certificates. Any Restricted Stock issued hereunder may be evidenced in such manner as the
Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of
Restricted Stock, such certificate shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such Award. The Company may retain, at its option, the physical custody of any stock certificate representing any awards of Restricted
Stock during the restriction period or require that the certificates evidencing Restricted Stock be placed in escrow or trust, along with a stock power endorsed in blank, until all restrictions are removed or expire. 
  
 SECTION 9. PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
  
 9.1. Grants. A Performance Award may consist of either or both, as the Committee
or the Board may determine, of (i) the right to receive Shares or Restricted Stock, or any combination thereof as the Committee or the Board may determine (“Performance Shares”), or (ii) the right to receive a fixed dollar amount
payable in Shares, Restricted Stock, cash or any combination thereof, as the Committee or the Board may determine (“Performance Units”). The Committee or the Board may grant Performance Awards to any eligible Consultant,
non-employee Director or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, for such minimum consideration, if any, as may be required by applicable law or such greater consideration as may be determined by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion.
The terms and conditions of Performance Awards shall be specified at the time of the grant and may include provisions establishing the performance period, the performance criteria to be achieved during a performance period, the criteria used to
determine vesting (including the acceleration thereof), whether Performance Awards are forfeited or vest upon termination of employment during a performance period and the maximum or minimum settlement values. Each Performance Award shall have its
own terms and conditions, which shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee or the Board. If the Committee or the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that the established performance measures or objectives are no longer
suitable because of a change in the Company’s business, operations, corporate structure or for other reasons that the Committee or the Board deems satisfactory, the Committee or the Board may modify the performance measures or objectives and/or
the performance period. Awards of Performance Shares and/or Performance Units are subject to acceleration of vesting, termination of restrictions and termination in the same manner as Stock Options pursuant to Subsections 6.4 and 6.5 of this
Plan. 
  
 9.2. Terms and Conditions. Performance Awards may be valued
by reference to the Fair Market Value of a Share or according to any other formula or method deemed appropriate by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, achievement of specific financial, production,
sales, cost or earnings performance objectives that the Committee or the Board believes to be relevant or the Company’s performance or the performance of the Common Stock measured against the performance of the market, the Company’s
industry segment or its direct competitors. Performance Awards may also be conditioned upon the applicable Participant remaining 
  

 - 16 - 

 in the employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for a specified period. Performance Awards may be paid in cash, Shares
(including Restricted Stock) or other consideration, or any combination thereof. Performance Awards may be payable in a single payment or in installments and may be payable at a specified date or dates or upon attaining the performance objective or
objectives, all at the sole discretion of the Committee or the Board. The extent to which any applicable performance objective has been achieved shall be conclusively determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion. 
  
 SECTION 10. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS 
  
 The Committee or the Board may grant a Dividend Equivalent Right to any eligible
Consultant, non-employee Director or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, either as a component of another Award or as a separate Award, and, in general, each such Participant awarded a Dividend Equivalent Right that is outstanding on a dividend
record date for the Common Stock shall be credited with an amount equal to the cash or stock dividends or other distributions that would have been received had the Shares subject to the Award been issued and outstanding on the dividend record date.
The terms and conditions of the Dividend Equivalent Right shall be specified in a dividend equivalent right agreement which evidences such Award. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Shares, or a combination thereof, in a single
payment or in installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement or payment for or lapse of restrictions on such other Award,
and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled pursuant to the same conditions as such other Award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different
from such other Award. 
  
 SECTION 11. OTHER AWARDS 
  
 The Committee or the Board may grant to any eligible Consultant, non-employee Director
or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary other forms of Awards based upon, payable in or otherwise related to, in whole or in part, Shares, if the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such other form of Award is
consistent with the purposes of this Plan. The terms and conditions of such other form of Award shall be specified in a written agreement which sets forth the terms and conditions of such Award, including, but not limited to, the price, if any, and
the vesting schedule, if any, of such Award. Such Awards may be granted for such minimum consideration, if any, as may be required by applicable law or for such other greater consideration as may be determined by the Committee or the Board, in its
sole discretion. 
  
 SECTION 12. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES AND OTHER LAWS

  
 As a condition to the issuance or transfer of any Award or any security
issuable in connection with such Award, the Company may require an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that (i) such issuance and/or transfer will not be in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable
securities laws and (ii) such 
  

 - 17 - 

 issuance and/or transfer will not be in violation of the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading. Further, the Company may refrain from issuing, delivering or transferring any Award or any security issuable in connection with such Award until the Committee or the Board has
determined that such issuance, delivery or transfer will not violate such securities laws or rules and regulations and that the recipient has tendered to the Company any federal, state or local tax owed as a result of such issuance, delivery or
transfer, when the Company has a legal liability to satisfy such tax. The Company shall not be liable for damages due to delay in the issuance, delivery or transfer of any Award or any security issuable in connection with such Award or any
agreement, instrument or certificate evidencing such Award or security for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, a delay caused by the listing requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system or any registration
requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or under any other state or federal law, rule or regulation. The Company is under no obligation to take any action or incur any expense to register or qualify the issuance, delivery or
transfer of any Award or any security issuable in connection with such Award under applicable securities laws or to perfect any exemption from such registration or qualification or to list any security on any securities exchange or automated
quotation system. Furthermore, the Company will have no liability to any person for refusing to issue, deliver or transfer any Award or any security issuable in connection with such Award if such refusal is based upon the foregoing provisions of
this Section 12. As a condition to any issuance, delivery or transfer of any Award or any security issuable in connection with such Award, the Company may place legends on any agreement, instrument or certificate evidencing such Award or
security, issue stop transfer orders with respect thereto and require such agreements or undertakings as the Company may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with applicable laws or regulations, including, if the Company or its counsel
deems it appropriate, representations from the recipient of such Award or security to the effect that such recipient is acquiring such Award or security solely for investment and not with a view to distribution and that no distribution of the Award
or the security will be made unless registered pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws, or in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such registration is unnecessary. 
  
 SECTION 13. ADJUSTMENTS UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A REORGANIZATION OR CORPORATE TRANSACTION 
  
 (a) In the event of a Reorganization, the number of Shares subject to this Plan and to
each outstanding Award, and the exercise price of each Award which is based upon Shares, shall (to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee or the Board) be proportionately adjusted (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole
discretion) to account for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares of the Company resulting from such Reorganization. 
  
 (b) If a Corporate Transaction is consummated and immediately following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction the Persons who were holders of shares of
Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction do 
  

 - 18 - 

 not receive any securities or other property (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Transactional
Consideration”) as a result of such Corporate Transaction and substantially all of such Persons continue to hold the shares of Common Stock held by them immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction (in substantially
the same proportions relative to each other), the Awards will remain outstanding and will (subject to the provisions of Subsections 6.1, 6.5(c), 7.1, 7.3, 8.1 and 9.1) continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (without
any modification) following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction. 
  
 (c) If a Corporate Transaction is consummated and immediately following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction the Persons who were holders of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate
Transaction do receive Transactional Consideration as a result of such Corporate Transaction or substantially all of such Persons do not continue to hold the shares of Common Stock held by them immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate
Transaction (in substantially the same proportions relative to each other), the terms and conditions of the Awards will be modified as follows: 
  
 (i) If the documentation pursuant to which a Corporate Transaction will be consummated provides for the assumption (by the entity issuing
Transactional Consideration to the Persons who were the holders of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction) of the Awards granted pursuant to this Plan without any modification or amendment (other
than Permitted Modifications and the modifications contemplated by Subsections 6.1, 6.5(c), 7.1, 7.3, 8.1 and 9.1 of this Plan), such Awards will remain outstanding and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms
following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction (subject to such Permitted Modifications and the provisions of Subsections 6.1, 6.5(c), 7.1, 7.3, 8.1 and 9.1. 
  
 (ii) If the documentation pursuant to which a Corporate Transaction will be consummated does not provide for the
assumption by the entity issuing Transactional Consideration to the Persons who were the holders of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction of the Awards granted pursuant to this Plan without any
modification or amendment (other than Permitted Modifications), all vesting restrictions (performance based or otherwise) applicable to Awards which will not be so assumed will accelerate and the holders of such Awards may (subject to the expiration
of the term of such Awards) exercise/receive the benefits of such Awards without regard to such vesting restrictions during the ten (10) day period immediately preceding the consummation of such Corporate Transaction. For purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence, all performance based goals will be deemed to have been satisfied in full. The Company will provide each Participant holding Awards which will not be so assumed with reasonable notice of the termination of such vesting
restrictions and the impending termination of such Awards. Upon the consummation of such a Corporate Transaction, all 
  

 - 19 - 

 unexercised Awards which are not to be so assumed will automatically terminate and cease to be outstanding.

  
 (d) Upon the implementation of a reverse stock split in connection with
the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, the maximum number of shares that may be issued with respect to awards granted or to be granted pursuant to the Plan shall remain at 3,500,000 following such reverse stock split,
notwithstanding adjustments following such implementation to the number of shares of the Company then outstanding or subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options. 
  
 Nothing contained in this Section 13 will be deemed to extend the term of an Award or to revive any Award which has previously lapsed or been
cancelled, terminated or surrendered. 
  
 SECTION 14. AMENDMENT OR
TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN 
  
 14.1. Amendment of This Plan.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, all provisions of this Plan (including, without limitation, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued with respect to Awards to be granted pursuant to this Plan) may at any time
or from time to time be modified or amended by the Board; provided, however, that no Award at any time outstanding pursuant to this Plan may be modified, impaired or cancelled adversely to the holder of the Award without the consent of such holder.

  
 14.2. Termination of This Plan. The Board may suspend or
terminate this Plan at any time, and such suspension or termination may be retroactive or prospective. Termination of this Plan shall not impair or affect any Award previously granted hereunder and the rights of the holder of the Award shall remain
in effect until the Award has been exercised in its entirety or has expired or otherwise has been terminated by the terms of such Award. 
  
 SECTION 15. AMENDMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO AWARDS 
  
 The Committee or the Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award with the Participant’s consent at any time prior to payment or exercise in any
manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, including, without limitation, (i) to change the date or dates as of which and/or the terms and conditions pursuant to which (A) a Stock Option becomes exercisable or (B) a Performance Award is
deemed earned, (ii) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award to provide an exercise price per share which is higher or lower than the then current exercise price per share of such outstanding Award or (iii) to cancel an Award and grant a new
Award in substitution therefor under such different terms and conditions as the Committee or the Board determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate including, but not limited to, having an exercise price per share which may be higher or lower
than the exercise price per share of the cancelled Award. The Committee or the Board may also make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in agreements evidencing Awards in 
  

 - 20 - 

 recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 13 hereof)
affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee or the Board determines that such adjustments are appropriate to
prevent reduction or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available pursuant to this Plan. Any provision of this Plan or any agreement regarding an Award to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee or the Board
may cause any Award granted to be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such cancelled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such cancelled Award. The determinations of value pursuant to
this Section 15 shall be made by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion. 
  
 SECTION 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 16.1. No Limit
on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in
specific cases. 
  
 16.2. No Right to Employment or Continuation of
Relationship. Nothing in this Plan or in any Award, nor the grant of any Award, shall confer upon or be construed as giving any Participant any right to remain in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or to continue as a Consultant or
non-employee Director. Further, the Company or a Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or terminate the relationship of any Consultant or non-employee Director with the Company or any Subsidiary, free from any liability or
any claim pursuant to this Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or in any agreement evidencing an Award made under this Plan. No Consultant, non-employee Director or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary shall have any claim to
be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of any Consultant, non-employee Director or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any Participants. 
  
 16.3. GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION AND EFFECT OF THIS PLAN AND ANY RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO THIS PLAN
SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
  
 16.4. Severability. If any provision of this Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as
to any individual or Award, or would disqualify this Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee or the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law, or if it cannot be construed or
deemed amended without, in the sole determination of the Committee or the Board, materially altering the intent of this Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, individual 
  

 - 21 - 

 or Award and the remainder of this Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 16.5. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered
pursuant to this Plan or any Award, and the Committee or the Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional
Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. 
  
 16.6. Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and Subsections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or
interpretation of this Plan or any provision thereof. 
  
 16.7. Effective
Date. The provisions of this Plan that relate to the grant of Incentive Stock Options shall be effective as of the date of the approval of this Plan by the shareholders of the Company. All other provisions of this Plan shall be effective as of
the Effective Date. 
  
 16.8. Transferability of Awards. Awards shall
not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution without the written consent of the Committee or the Board (which may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the Committee or the Board). Awards may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the holder, only by the holder (or the holder’s legal guardian in the event of the holder’s Disability or incompetence). Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of an
Award contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon an Award shall be null and void and without effect. 
  
 16.9. Rights of Participants. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided in this Plan, any Person to whom an Award is granted shall have no rights by reason
of any subdivision or consolidation of stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, merger or
consolidation or spinoff of assets or stock of another corporation, and any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, the number or exercise price of Shares subject to an Award. 
  
 16.10. No Limitation Upon the Rights of the Company. The grant of an Award pursuant to this Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, or changes of its
capital or business structure; to merge, convert or consolidate; to dissolve or liquidate; or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  

 - 22 - 

 16.11. Date of Grant of an Award. Except as noted in this Section 16.11, the granting of an Award
shall take place only upon the execution and delivery by the Company and the Participant of a written agreement and neither any other action taken by the Committee or the Board nor anything contained in this Plan or in any resolution adopted or to
be adopted by the Committee, the Board or the shareholders of the Company shall constitute the granting of an Award pursuant to this Plan. Solely, for purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an Award, such Award will
be deemed to have been granted as of the date specified by the Committee or the Board notwithstanding any delay which may elapse in executing and delivering the applicable agreement. 
  
 SECTION 17. NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS 
  
 17.1. Applicability of Section 17. The provisions of this Section 17 shall apply only to those executive officers (i) whose compensation is required
to be reported in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Item 402(a)(3)(i) and (ii) (or any successor thereto) of Regulation S-K (or any successor thereto) under the general rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and (ii) whose total
compensation, including estimated Awards, is determined by the Committee or the Board to possibly be subject to the limitations on deductions imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code (“Named Executive Officers”). In the event of any
inconsistencies between this Section 17 and the other Plan provisions as they pertain to Named Executive Officers, the provisions of this Section 17 shall control. 
  
 17.2. Establishment of Performance Goals. Awards for Named Executive Officers, other than Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights, shall be based on the attainment of certain performance goals. No later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable fiscal year of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or such other award period as may
be established by the Committee or the Board (“Award Period”) and (ii) the completion of twenty-five percent (25%) of such Award Period, the Committee or the Board shall establish, in writing, the performance goals applicable to
each such Award for Named Executive Officers. At the time the performance goals are established, their outcome must be substantially uncertain. In addition, the performance goal must state, in terms of an objective formula or standard, the method
for computing the amount of compensation payable to the Named Executive Officer if the goal is obtained. Such formula or standard shall be sufficiently objective so that a third party with knowledge of the relevant performance results could
calculate the amount to be paid to the subject Named Executive Officer. The material terms of the performance goals for Named Executive Officers and the compensation payable thereunder shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for their
review and approval if and to the extent required for such compensation to be deductible pursuant to Section 162(m) (or any successor thereto) of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Shareholder approval, if necessary, shall be
obtained for such performance goals prior to any Award being paid to such Named Executive Officer. If shareholder approval is required and not received with respect to such performance goals, no amount 
  

 - 23 - 

 shall be paid to such Named Executive Officer for such applicable Award Period pursuant to this Plan. 
  
 17.3. Components of Awards. Each Award granted to a Named Executive Officer,
other than Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, shall be based on performance goals which are sufficiently objective so that a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal was met. Except as provided in
Subsection 17.8 herein, performance measures which may serve as determinants of Named Executive Officers’ Awards shall be limited to the following measures: earnings per share; return on assets; return on equity; return on capital; net
profit after taxes; net profit before taxes; operating profits; stock price; and sales or expenses. Within ninety (90) days following the end of each Award Period, the Committee or the Board shall certify in writing that the performance goals, and
any other material terms were satisfied. Thereafter, Awards shall be made for each Named Executive Officer as determined by the Committee or the Board. The Awards may not vary from the pre-established amount based on the level of achievement.

  
 17.4. No Mid-Year Change in Awards. Except as provided in
Subsections 17.8 and 17.9 herein, each Named Executive Officer’s Awards shall be based exclusively on the performance measures established by the Committee or the Board pursuant to Subsections 17.2 and 17.3. 
  
 17.5. No Partial Award Period Participation. A Named Executive Officer who
becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after performance goals have been established in an Award Period pursuant to Subsections 17.2 and 17.3 may not participate in this Plan prior to the next succeeding Award Period, except with
respect to Awards which are Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 
  
 17.6. Performance Goals. Except as provided in Subsection 17.8 herein, performance goals shall not be changed following their establishment, and Named Executive Officers shall not receive any payout, except with respect to
Awards which are Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, when the minimum performance goals are not met or exceeded. 
  
 17.7. Individual Performance and Discretionary Adjustments. Except as provided in Subsection 17.8 herein, subjective evaluations of individual
performance of Named Executive Officers shall not be reflected in their Awards, other than Awards which are Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. The payment of such Awards shall be entirely dependent upon the attainment of the preestablished
performance goals. 
  
 17.8. Amendments. No amendment of this Plan
with respect to any Named Executive Officer may be made which would (i) increase the maximum amount that can be paid to any one Participant pursuant to this Plan, (ii) change the specified performance goal for payment of Awards, or (iii) modify the
requirements as to eligibility for participation in this Plan, unless the Company’s shareholders have first approved such 
  

 - 24 - 

 amendment in a manner which would permit the deduction under Section 162(m) (or any successor thereto) of the Code of such payment
in the fiscal year it is paid. The Committee or the Board shall amend this Section 17 and such other provisions as it deems appropriate, to cause amounts payable to Named Executive Officers to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) (or
any successor thereto) and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. 
  
 17.9. Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan (including the provisions of this Section 17) to the contrary, the amount of compensation which a Named Executive Officer may

“Agent”); and the lenders listed on the signature pages hereof (the “Banks”), which agree as follows: 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, Borrowers, Banks (other than DVB Bank Aktiengesellschaft) and Agent previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of December 31, 2001 (as
previously amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated February 25, 2002, and the Second Amendment dated as of June 18, 2003, the “Original Credit Agreement”; the Original Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, is

 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings given them in the Original Credit
Agreement; 
  
 WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that, among other things,

Original Credit Agreement hereinafter provided for). 
  
 2. In addition to
the amendment set forth in Section 1 above, the Original Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
  
 (a) Section 1.02 is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of Borrowing Base and Credit Limit set forth therein and substituting therefor the
following new definitions of such terms: 
  
 “Borrowing Base” shall mean Sixty Million and No/100 ($60,000,000.00) Dollars. Any increase or decrease in the 

 
Borrowing Base is subject to unanimous written approval of the Banks and, in addition, compliance, demonstrated to Agent’s satisfaction, by the Guarantor and the
Borrowers with Section 5.17 and 5.18 hereof and applicable provisions of the Indenture (including without limitation, to the extent applicable, compliance with the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test at Section 4.09 of the Indenture).

  
 “Credit Limit” shall mean the lesser
of (i) the Borrowing Base from time to time in effect, and (ii) Sixty Million and No/100 ($60,000,000.00) Dollars. 
  
 3. (i) In furtherance of the requirements set forth in Section 5 hereof and in accordance with the definition of HOS Vessels, the parties acknowledge and agree that
the HOS BRIGADOON (O.N. 1077123) (the “Additional HOS Vessel”) is a HOS Vessel, and (ii) the Agent and the Required Banks hereby agree that the construction for HOT of the three (3) ocean-going double-hulled tank barges under Phase
I of HOT’s OPA 90 New-Build Program, anticipated by HOT as of the date of this Amendment to have capacity of 135,000 barrels, 115,000 barrels and 50,000 barrels, shall not be counted under subsection 8.01(o) of the Credit Agreement as capital
expenditures thereunder. 
  
 4. The Original Credit Agreement shall be
deemed amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing. Except as amended hereby, the Original Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 5. As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, (i) all representations and warranties set forth in the Credit
Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date hereof (other than those representations and warranties that are, by their specific items, limited in application to a specific date before the date of this Amendment), (ii) Borrowers shall have
paid or caused to be paid all costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Banks, or otherwise agreed by Borrowers to be paid, through the date hereof, (iii) Borrowers shall have paid Agent an amendment fee in the amount of $15,000 for the account of

Banks that all of their respective representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on the date hereof (other than those representations and warranties that are, by their specific

Guarantor and HOS-IV have reviewed the Indenture and are satisfied that each Borrower’s, Guarantor’s and HOS-IV’s execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the other documents provided in connection herewith will not
