Executive Salary Protection Agreement

 

This Executive Salary Protection Agreement (“Agreement”) is made this 18th day of August, 2015, by and between Jason C. Castle (“Executive”) and Heritage Oaks Bank (“Bank”) with respect to the following:

 

Recitals

 

WHEREAS, Executive currently serves as the Bank’s Executive Vice President / Chief Financial Officer without benefit of an employment contract;

 

WHEREAS, The Board of Directors of the Bank has deemed it appropriate for Executive to be granted certain protections in the event of job loss related to a merger or acquisition of the Bank and/or its holding company, Heritage Oaks Bancorp (“the Company”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Bank and Executive agree as follows:

 

Agreement

 

1.              For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Bank undertakes to provide Executive with the salary protection benefits (“the Benefit”) set forth herein, upon the terms and conditions also set forth below.

 

2.              Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, Executive shall be entitled to a Benefit in the following aggregate amount, to be paid in a lump sum on the forty-fifth (45th) day following the Termination Date, subject to the Waiver and Release Agreement having become effective as described in Paragraph 8 hereof: one and one-half times, (a) Executive’s base annual salary at the rate in effect for Executive immediately prior to the occurrence of the applicable event set forth in Paragraph 7 hereof, plus (b) Executive’s cash bonus earned for the calendar year ended immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.

 

3.              The Benefit shall be earned, and payment made, if and only if, Executive’s employment with the Bank and the Company terminates for one or more of the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5 hereof within three (3) months prior to, or within twelve (12) months following, a change in control event as defined in this Agreement. The first day of the first month following Executive’s termination of employment for such reason or reasons is referred to herein as the “Termination Date.”

 

4.              If the Executive is entitled to the Benefit and timely and properly elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), in addition to the Benefit, the Bank shall reimburse the Executive for the difference between the monthly COBRA premium paid by the Executive for himself and his dependents and the monthly premium amount paid by similarly situated active executives. Such reimbursement shall be paid to the Executive on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month immediately following the month in which the Executive timely remits the premium payment and submits proof thereof in any form reasonably requested by the Bank. The Executive shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of: (i) the twelve-month anniversary of the Termination Date; (ii) the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which the Executive becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage from another employer.

 

5.              For purposes of this Agreement, “termination” means the termination of Executive’s employment with the Bank and the Company as a result of the occurrence of any one or more of the following without Executive’s written consent, but specifically excludes any termination for Cause, as defined below:

 

a.              The termination of Executive’s employment by the Bank without Cause;

 

b.              a reduction of more than 15% in the Executive’s base salary other than a general reduction in base salary that affects all similarly situated employees in substantially the same proportions;

 

c.               a reduction of more than 15% in the Executive’s annual bonus opportunity other than a general reduction in annual bonus that affects all similarly situated employees in substantially the same proportions;

 

1

 

d.              a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment which increases the Executive’s commute to work by more than thirty-five (35) miles, except for required travel on Bank business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations as of the date of relocation;

 

e.               the Bank’s failure to obtain an agreement from any successor to the Bank to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform if no succession had taken place, except where such assumption occurs by operation of law;

 

f.                material adverse change in the duties assigned to Employee.

 

6.              For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

 

a.              the Executive’s willful failure to perform his duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness);

 

b.              the Executive’s engagement in dishonesty, illegal conduct or gross misconduct;

 

c.               Embezzlement, misappropriation or fraud by the Executive, whether or not related to the Executive’s employment with the Bank;

 

d.              the Executive’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime that constitutes a felony (or state law equivalent) or a crime that constitutes a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;

 

e.               the Executive’s violation of a material policy of the Bank or the Company;

 

f.                the Executive’s willful unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information;

 

g.               any failure by the Executive to comply with the Bank’s or Company’s written policies or rules.

 

7.              For purposes of this Agreement, “change in control event” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

a.              one person (or more than one person acting as a group) acquires ownership of stock of the Bank or the Company that, together with the stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation; provided that, a Change in Control shall not occur if any person (or more than one person acting as a group) owns more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Company’s stock and acquires additional stock;

 

b.              one person (or more than one person acting as a group) acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition) ownership of the Bank or the Company’s stock possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation;

 

c.               a majority of the members of the Board are replaced during any twelve-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the Board before the date of appointment or election; or

 

d.              the sale of all or substantially all of the Bank’s or Company’s assets.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such an occurrence shall constitute a “change in control event” only if the occurrence is a “change in ownership,” a “change in effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” (as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”)) of the Bank or the Company.

 

8.              A pre-condition to Executive’s right to receive the Benefit shall be Executive’s execution, delivery and non-revocation, and expiration of any revocation period, of a Waiver and Release Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” to the Bank, or its successor-in-interest, all occurring within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination.  Additionally, if Executive breaches this Agreement at any time that Bank, or Bank’s successor in interest, is making payments to Executive pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4, then, in addition to any other rights Bank, or its successor in interest, may have at law or equity, the obligation to make any further payments to Executive will be terminated effective as of the date of Executive’s breach.

 

2

 

9.              As partial consideration for this Agreement, Executive agrees to refrain, for a period of twelve months following the date of termination of employment, from disclosure of confidential or proprietary information of the Bank, Company, or any customer of the Bank to any person who is not expressly authorized to receive such information.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” is agreed to include, but is not limited to, all information not generally known to the public, in spoken, printed, electronic or any other form or medium, relating directly or indirectly to: business processes, practices, methods, policies, plans, documents, operations, services, strategies, agreements, contracts, terms of agreements, transactions, potential transactions, negotiations, trade secrets, policy  manuals, records, vendor information, financial information, results, accounting records, legal information, marketing information, pricing information, credit information, payroll information, staffing information, personnel information, employee lists, supplier lists, vendor lists, reports, internal controls, security procedures, market studies, sales information, revenue, costs, notes, communications, product plans, ideas, customer information, customer lists,  of the Bank or any existing or prospective customer, supplier, investor or other associated third party, or of any other person or entity that has entrusted information to the Bank in confidence.

 

10.       Restrictive Covenants.

 

a.              Non-solicitation of Employees. The Executive agrees and covenants not to directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, attempt to recruit, or induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Bank or Company, for twelve (12) months beginning on the Termination Date.

 

b.              Non-solicitation of Customers. The Executive understands and acknowledges that because of the Executive’s experience with and relationship to the Bank, he will have access to and learn about much or all of the Bank’s customer information. “Customer Information” includes, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, account history, preferences, chain of command, pricing information and other information identifying facts and circumstances specific to the customer and relevant to services desirable to the customer.

 

The Executive understands and acknowledges that loss of this customer relationship and/or goodwill will cause significant and irreparable harm.

 

The Executive agrees and covenants, for twelve (12) months beginning on the Termination Date, not to directly or indirectly solicit  the Company’s current, former or prospective customers for purposes of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Bank.

 

This restriction shall only apply to customers about whom the Executive has information that is not available publicly.

 

11.       Non-disparagement. The Executive agrees and covenants that he will not at any time make, publish or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments or statements concerning the Bank or Company or its businesses, or any of its directors, employees, officers, existing and prospective customers, vendors, investors and other associated third parties.

 

This Section 11 does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Executive from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation or order. The Executive shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer.

 

12.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation to make payment of any severance benefits as provided herein (including, without limitation, any payment contemplated under Section 2), is conditioned upon (i) the Bank obtaining any necessary approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and (ii) compliance with applicable law, including 12 C.F.R. Part 359.  In addition, the Executive covenants and agrees that the Company and its successors and assigns shall have the right to demand the return of any “golden parachute payments” (as defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 359) in the event that any of them obtain information indicating that the Executive committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts or omissions, conditions, or offenses contained in 12 C.F.R. § 359.4(a)(4), and the Executive shall promptly return any such “golden parachute payment” upon such demand.

 

3

 

13.       This Agreement, for all purposes, shall be construed in accordance with the laws of California without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any action or proceeding by either of the parties to enforce this Agreement shall be brought only in a state or federal court located in the state of California, county of San Luis Obispo. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in such venue.

 

14.       Unless specifically provided herein, this Agreement contains all of the understandings and representations between the Executive and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. The parties mutually agree that the Agreement can be specifically enforced in court and can be cited as evidence in legal proceedings alleging breach of the Agreement.

 

15.       No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. No waiver by either of the parties of any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party hereto shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either of the parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

 

16.       Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, or if any portion of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement.

 

17.       If, at the time any sums would otherwise be payable under this Agreement, the Bank is deemed to be in troubled condition or under any regulatory order which would result in the payment of such sums being deemed as prohibited “Golden Parachute” payments; or if payment of such sums would violate any law or regulation then applicable to the Bank, this Agreement shall be null and void and no sum shall be due to Executive hereunder.

 

18.       Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. For purposes of determining the timing of any payments to be made under this Agreement by reference to Executive’s termination of employment, “termination” and “termination of employment” shall refer to Executive’s “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any payment or benefit provided to the Executive in connection with his termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i), then such payment or benefit shall be paid on the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and thereafter, any remaining payments shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the date set forth on page 1.

Exhibit A

 

Form of Waiver and Release Agreement

 

 

WAIVER AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

 

This Waiver and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of the date last written below, by and between Heritage Oaks Bank (“Employer”) and [*] (“Employee”).  This Agreement is made with specific reference to the following facts:

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                    Employer and Employee have entered into an Executive Salary Protection Agreement dated [xx/xx/20xx].

 

B.                                    A condition precedent to Employer’s obligations under the Executive Salary Protection Agreement is the Employee’s execution of this Agreement upon termination of Employee’s employment.

 

C.                                    As an at-will employee, Employee is not entitled to receive severance pay or any additional termination benefits from Employer, other than as set forth in the Executive Salary Protection Agreement.

 

Waiver and Release

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, and the mutual covenants, agreements and considerations set forth below, the sufficiency of which are hereby agreed, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.                                      In consideration of this Agreement and the consideration extended to Employee under the Executive Salary Protection Agreement which is conditioned upon Employee’s execution of this Agreement, Employee does hereby for himself, his administrators, agents, successors-in-interest and assigns, fully and forever release and discharge Employer, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, and each of them, of and from any and all promises, agreements, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses and expenses of every nature whatsoever known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, filed or unfiled, against them by reason of any occurrences or any damages or injuries in any way sustained by Employee at any time prior to and including the date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any and all claims or causes of action arising from his employment by Employer or the termination of his employment with Employer.

 

1.1.                            Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement releases claims that include, but are not limited to: breach of contract (express or implied); intentional infliction of emotional harm; wrongful discharge; defamation or other tort claims; attorneys’ fees or court costs; claims arising out of:  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000(e) et seq. (Title VII); the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq. (“ADEA”); the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”); the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Part 2.8 Division 3, Title 2 of the Government Code, Section 12900-12996 (FEHA); the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, Section 1981 of Title 42 of the United States Code; Labor Code Section 1102.1; or any other federal, state, or municipal statute, ordinance or common-law theory relating to wrongful employment termination, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, discrimination in employment or unfair employment practices.

 

1.2.                            Employee hereby releases Employer from any unknown or unanticipated damages arising from the matters set forth in this Agreement.  Employee acknowledges that she is familiar with, and hereby waives, all rights recognized by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

 

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

Being thus familiar and aware, Employee expressly waives the effects of Civil Code Section 1542, as well as any analogous state or federal statute or regulation.  Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542, and for the purpose of effecting a full and complete release, Employee expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, any and all claims or causes of action which Employee may now have or did have, including claims or causes of action she does not know of or suspect to exist in his favor as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and that this Agreement contemplates that all such claims and causes of action will be extinguished.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this release does not waive any future claims the Employee may have.

 

A-1

 

2.                                      This Agreement shall become effective on the 8th calendar day after the date of execution by Employee (the “Effective Date”).  In all events, however, this Agreement must have been executed by Employee and delivered to Employer no later than 5:00 p.m. on [expiration date].  Thereafter, this Agreement shall be deemed withdrawn by Employer and shall no longer be capable of acceptance or execution by Employee.

 

2.1.                            In express consideration for Employee’s voluntary execution and delivery of this Agreement, Employer shall pay to Employee those benefits set forth in the Executive Salary Protection Agreement.

 

3.                                      Employee acknowledges that, but for this Agreement, she would not be entitled to the benefits set forth in the Employment Agreement.

 

4.                                      Employee is advised to review this Agreement and its terms with an attorney and any other advisors of his choice.  Employee represents that she understands all terms and conditions of this Agreement completely and executes this Agreement voluntarily, without any inducements, promises, or representations made by Employer or any person purporting to represent or serve Employer, except as stated in this Agreement.

 

5.                                      The following miscellaneous provisions shall apply to this Agreement:

 

5.1.                            This Agreement and any other documents referred to herein shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed by and under the laws of the State of California.  The language of this Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the parties.

 

5.2.                            This Agreement contains all of the understandings and agreements of whatsoever kind and nature existing between the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein.  This Agreement may only be amended by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

 

5.3.                            This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

5.4.                            Each party executing this Agreement has full authority, mental capacity and power to do so, and no further actions are otherwise necessary to bind him to it.

 

5.5.                            If any provision of this Agreement or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which this Agreement is held invalid shall not be affected thereby.  The parties hereto agree that each provision of this Agreement is a material provision and that failure of any party to perform any one provision hereof shall be the basis of the voiding of the entire Agreement at the option of the other party, or for pursuing an action at law for such breach.  Any party may waive or excuse the failure of any other party to perform any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such waiver shall not preclude the enforcement of this Agreement upon any subsequent breach.  The parties further agree that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction finds any of the provisions of this Agreement to be unenforceable, it is the parties’ intent that such provisions be reduced in scope by the court, but only to the extent being necessary by the court to render the provision reasonable and enforceable.

 

5.6.                            Each of the parties agrees to execute any and all further agreements or documents necessary to effectuate the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

 

5.7.                            All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person, persons or entities may require.

 

5.8.                            The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate, extend to and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, transferees, grantees and indemnities of the parties.

the responsibilities and functions of the position held by the Grantee by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental

by the Administrator) on the date of determination (or, if no closing sales price or closing bid was reported on that date, as
applicable, on the last trading date such closing sales price or closing bid was reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal

on the date of determination or the average of any such prices for such period as determined by the Administrator in good faith
not to exceed thirty (30) trading days prior to the date of determination, but if selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market
Value of a share of Common Stock shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of
determination (or, if no such prices were reported on that date, on the last date such prices were reported) or the average thereof

(ii)        a
reduction in the Grantee’s base salary to a level below that in effect at any time within six months preceding the consummation
of a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control or at any time thereafter; provided that an across-the-board reduction in

amount shall not constitute such a salary reduction; or

the Grantee to be based at any place outside a 50-mile radius from the Grantee’s job location or residence prior to the Corporate
Transaction or Change in Control except for reasonably required travel on business that is not materially greater than such travel

4.            Administration
of the Plan.

 

(a)          Plan
Administrator.

 

(i)          Administration
with Respect to Directors and Officers. With respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers
or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board,
which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions
under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such
Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.

 

(ii)         Administration
With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither
Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board,
which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue
to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant
such Awards and may limit such authority as the Board determines from time to time.

 

(iii)        Administration
With Respect to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of and after the date that the exemption for the Plan
under Section 162(m) of the Code expires, as set forth in Section 18 below, grants of Awards to any Covered Employee
intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) that is
comprised solely of two or more Directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as Performance-Based Compensation.
In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the “Administrator” or to a “Committee”
shall be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee.

 

(iv)        Administration
Errors. In the event an Award is granted in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection (a),
such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.

 

(b)          Powers
of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan (including any other powers given to the
Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

 

(i)          to
select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder;

 

(ii)         to
determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;

 

    	8 | Page	 

     

    

 

(iii)        to
determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

 

(iv)        to
approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

 

(v)         to
determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder;

 

(vi)        to
amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that

 

(A)        any
amendment that would adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Grantee’s
written consent, provided, however, that an amendment or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to
become a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee;

 

(B)         the
reduction of the exercise price of any Option awarded under the Plan and the base appreciation amount of any SAR awarded under
the Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval; and

 

(C)         canceling
an Option or SAR at a time when its exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) exceeds the Fair Market Value of
the underlying Shares, in exchange for another Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, or other Award or for cash shall be subject to stockholder
approval, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Corporate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
canceling an Option or SAR in exchange for another Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, or other Award or for cash with an exercise price,
purchase price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) that is equal to or greater than the exercise price or base appreciation
amount (as applicable) of the original Option or SAR shall not be subject to stockholder approval;

 

(vii)       to
construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement,
granted pursuant to the Plan;

 

(viii)      to
grant Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants employed outside the United States on such terms and conditions different
from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose
of the Plan; and

 

(ix)         to
take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

The express grant in
the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator;
provided that the Administrator may not exercise any right or power reserved to the Board. Any decision made, or action taken,
by the Administrator or in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons
having an interest in the Plan.

(c)          Indemnification.
In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the
Company or a Related Entity, members of the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority
to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent
permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily
incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal
therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with
the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement
is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding,
except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such
person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within 30 days after the
institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity
at the Company’s expense to defend the same.

 

5.           Eligibility.
Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant, who has
been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors
or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.

 

6.           Terms
and Conditions of Awards.

 

(a)          Types
of Awards. The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or
Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance
of (i) Shares, (ii) cash, (iii) an Option, (iv) a SAR, or (v) a similar right with a fixed or variable price related
to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence
of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions. Such awards include, without limitation,
Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, and an Award may consist
of one such security or benefit, or two or more of them in any combination or alternative.

 

(b)          Designation
of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, an Option will
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code
is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Fair Market Value
of the Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options that become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company). For purposes of this calculation,
Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares
shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder
are amended after the date the Plan becomes effective to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted
to be subject to Incentive Stock Options, then such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to
any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

 

    	10 | Page	 

     

    

 

(c)          Conditions
of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of
each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture
provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction
of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination
of, the following: (i) increase in share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total stockholder return, (iv) operating margin,
(v) gross margin, (vi) return on equity, (vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix) operating income,
(x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest,
taxes and depreciation, (xvi) economic value added and (xvii) market share. The performance criteria may be applicable
to the Company, Related Entities and/or any individual business units of the Company or any Related Entity. Partial achievement
of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award
Agreement. In addition, the performance criteria shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
but excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) of any change in accounting standards and any extraordinary, unusual or
nonrecurring item, as determined by the Administrator, occurring after the establishment of the performance criteria applicable
to the Award intended to be performance-based compensation. Each such adjustment, if any, shall be made solely for the purpose
of providing a consistent basis from period to period for the calculation of performance criteria in order to prevent the dilution
or enlargement of the Grantee’s rights with respect to an Award intended to be performance-based compensation.

 

(d)          Acquisitions
and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for,
outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity,
an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or
other form of transaction.

 

(e)          Deferral
of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity
to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that
absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award. The Administrator
may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or
other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures
that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

 

    	11 | Page	 

     

    

 

(f)          Separate
Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular
forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to
time. 

 

(g)          Individual
Limitations on Awards.

 

(i)          Individual
Limit for Options and SARs.  Following the date that the exemption from application of Section 162(m) of the
Code described in Section 18 (or any exemption having similar effect) ceases to apply to Awards, the maximum number
of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year shall be 100,000 Shares. In
connection with a Grantee’s commencement of Continuous Service, a Grantee may be granted Options and SARs for up to an additional
150,000 Shares that shall not count against the limit set forth in the previous sentence. The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below.
To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitations
with respect to a Grantee, if any Option or SAR is canceled, the canceled Option or SAR shall continue to count against the maximum
number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to the Grantee. For this purpose, the repricing of an Option
(or in the case of a SAR, the base amount on which the stock appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a reduction in the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock) shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option or SAR and the grant of a new
Option or SAR.

 

(ii)         Individual
Limit for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Following the date that the exemption from application of Section 162(m)
of the Code described in Section 18 (or any exemption having similar effect) ceases to apply to Awards, for awards
of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum number of Shares
with respect to which such Awards may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year shall be 250,000 Shares. The foregoing limitation
shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10.

 

(h)          Deferral.
If the vesting or receipt of Shares under an Award is deferred to a later date, any amount (whether denominated in Shares or cash)
paid in addition to the original number of Shares subject to such Award will not be treated as an increase in the number of Shares
subject to the Award if the additional amount is based either on a reasonable rate of interest or on one or more predetermined
actual investments such that the amount payable by the Company at the later date will be based on the actual rate of return of
a specific investment (including any decrease as well as any increase in the value of an investment).

 

(i)          Early
Exercise. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an
Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares
received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any other
restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.

(j)          Term
of Award. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an
Award shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be
five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the specified term of any Award shall not include any period for which the Grantee has elected to defer the receipt
of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the Award.

 

(k)          Transferability
of Awards. Incentive Stock Options 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 Grantee, only
by the Grantee. Other Awards shall be transferable (i) by will and by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) during
the lifetime of the Grantee, to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator but only to the extent such transfers
are made to family members, to family trusts, to family controlled entities, to charitable organizations, and pursuant to domestic
relations orders or agreements, in all cases without payment for such transfers to the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Award in the event of the Grantee’s death on a
beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.

 

(l)          Time
of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall for all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination to grant such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.

 

7.           Award
Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes.

 

(a)          Exercise
or Purchase Price. The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an Award shall be as follows:

 

(i)          In
the case of an Incentive Stock Option:

 

(A)         granted
to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%)
of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price
shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or

 

(B)         granted
to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(ii)         In
the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

    	13 | Page	 

     

    

 

(iii)        In
the case of Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the exercise or purchase price, if any, shall be not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(iv)        In
the case of SARs, the base appreciation amount shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant.

 

(v)         In
the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by the Administrator.

 

(vi)        Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an Award issued pursuant to Section 6(d),
above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant instrument
evidencing the agreement to issue such Award.

 

(b)          Consideration.
Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award including
the method of payment shall be determined by the Administrator. In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator
may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under the Plan the following, provided
that the portion of the consideration equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted
by the Florida Business Corporations Law:

 

(i)          cash;

 

(ii)         check;

 

(iii)        surrender
of Shares, or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require, that
have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which
said Award shall be exercised;

 

(iv)        with
respect to Options, if the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect
the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise
price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for
the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction;

 

(v)         with
respect to Options, payment through a “net exercise” such that, without the payment of any funds, the Grantee
may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares as to which the Option is being
exercised, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined
by the Administrator) less the exercise price per Share, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value per Share (the
number of net Shares to be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares); or

 

    	14 | Page	 

     

    

 

(vi)        any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

 

The Administrator may
at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard forms of Award Agreement described in Section 4(b)
(iv), or by other means, grant Awards that do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment
for the Shares or that otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

 

(c)          Taxes.
No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or other person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements
acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding
obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise or vesting of an Award
the Company shall withhold or collect from the Grantee an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, including, but not
limited to, by surrender of the whole number of Shares covered by the Award sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding
obligations incident to the exercise or vesting of an Award (reduced to the lowest whole number of Shares if such number of Shares
withheld would result in withholding a fractional Share with any remaining tax withholding settled in cash).

 

8.           Exercise
of Award.

 

(a)          Procedure
for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.

 

(i)          Any
Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the
terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement.

 

(ii)         An
Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the
terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award
is exercised has been made, including, to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the
purchase price as provided in Section 7(b) (iv).

 

(b)          Exercise
of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service. In the event of termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service
for any reason other than Disability or death (but not in the event of a Grantee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant
or from Consultant to Employee), such Grantee may, but only during the post-termination exercise period (but in no event later
than the expiration date of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise the portion of the Grantee’s
Award that was vested at the date of such termination or such other portion of the Grantee’s Award as may be determined by
the Administrator. The Grantee’s Award Agreement may provide that upon the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous
Service for Cause, the Grantee’s right to exercise the Award shall terminate concurrently with the termination of Grantee’s
Continuous Service. In the event of a Grantee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant, an Employee’s Incentive
Stock Option shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three months and one day following such change
of status. To the extent that the Grantee’s Award was unvested at the date of termination, or if the Grantee does not exercise
the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the post-termination exercise period, the Award shall terminate.

 

    	15 | Page	 

     

    

 

(c)          Disability
of Grantee. In the event of termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability, such
Grantee may, but only within six months from the date of such termination (or such longer period as specified in the Award Agreement
but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise the portion
of the Grantee’s Award that was vested at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if such Disability is not
a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three months and one day following
such termination. To the extent that the Grantee’s Award was unvested at the date of termination, or if Grantee does not
exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the time specified herein, the Award shall terminate.

 

(d)          Death
of Grantee. In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death, or
in the event of the death of the Grantee during the post-termination exercise period or during the six month period following the
Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee’s estate or a person
who acquired the right to exercise the Award by bequest or inheritance may exercise the portion of the Grantee’s Award that
was vested as of the date of termination, within six months from the date of death (or such longer period as specified in the Award
Agreement but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement). To the extent
that, at the time of death, the Grantee’s Award was unvested, or if the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the
right to exercise the Award by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within
the time specified herein, the Award shall terminate.

 

(e)          Extension
if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Award within the applicable time periods
set forth in this Section 8 is prevented by the provisions of Section 9 below, the Award shall remain exercisable
until one month after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the Award is exercisable, but in any event no later
than the expiration of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement and only in a manner and to the extent permitted
under Code Section 409A.

 

9.           Conditions
Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a)          If
at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise, vesting or any other provision of
an Award is or may be unlawful under Applicable Laws, the vesting or right to exercise an Award or to otherwise receive Shares
pursuant to the terms of an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful and shall
be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Company shall have no obligation
to effect any registration or qualification of the Shares under federal or state laws.

 

(b)          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 by any Applicable Laws.

 

    	16 | Page	 

     

    

 

10.         Adjustments
Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and Section 11
hereof, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance
under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase
price of each such outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to any Grantee in
any calendar year, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted
for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares; (ii) any other
increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; or (iii)  any
other transaction with respect to Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation
(including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or
any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not
be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” In the event of any distribution of cash or other
assets to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend, the Administrator shall also make such adjustments as provided in this
Section 10 or substitute, exchange or grant Awards to effect such adjustments (collectively “adjustments”).
Any such adjustments to outstanding Awards will be effected in a manner that precludes the enlargement of rights and benefits under
such Awards. In connection with the foregoing adjustments, the Administrator may, in its discretion, prohibit the exercise of Awards
or other issuance of Shares, cash or other consideration pursuant to Awards during certain periods of time. Except as the Administrator
determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect,
and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.

 

11.         Corporate
Transactions and Changes in Control.

 

(a)          Termination
of Award to Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all
outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed
in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

 

(b)          Acceleration
of Award Upon Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. The Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable either
in advance of any actual or anticipated Corporate Transaction or Change in Control or at the time of an actual Corporate Transaction
or Change in Control and exercisable at the time of the grant of an Award under the Plan or any time while an Award remains outstanding,
to provide for the full or partial automatic vesting and exercisability of one or more outstanding unvested Awards under the Plan
and the release from restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights of such Awards in connection with a Corporate
Transaction or Change in Control, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify. The Administrator also shall have
the authority to condition any such Award vesting and exercisability or release from such limitations upon the subsequent termination
of the Continuous Service of the Grantee within a specified period following the effective date of the Corporate Transaction or
Change in Control. The Administrator may provide that any Awards so vested or released from such limitations in connection with
a Change in Control, shall remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the Award.

 

    	17 | Page	 

     

    

 

(c)          Effect
of Acceleration on Incentive Stock Options. Any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this Section 11 in
connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code
only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded.

 

12.         Effective
Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval
by the shareholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years unless sooner terminated. Subject to Section 17,
below, and Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.

 

13.         Amendment,
Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

 

(a)          The
Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made without the
approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by Applicable Laws.

 

(b)          No
Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.

 

(c)          No
suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 11, above) shall adversely affect
any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.

 

14.         Reservation
of Shares.

 

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

 

(b)          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, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

15.         No
Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect
to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company
or any Related Entity to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without cause, including, but not
limited to, Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of
a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has been
terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.

 

    	18 | Page	 

     

    

 

16.         No
Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of
the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under
any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind
or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation.
The Plan is not a “Pension Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended.

 

17.         Shareholder
Approval. The grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall be subject to approval of the Plan by the shareholders
of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted excluding Incentive Stock Options issued
in substitution for outstanding Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code. Such stockholder approval
shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options
under the Plan prior to approval by the stockholders, but until such approval is obtained, no such Incentive Stock Option shall
be exercisable. In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within the twelve (12) month period provided above, all
Incentive Stock Options previously granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

 

18.         Effect
of Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code does not apply to the Plan prior to the Registration
Date. Following the Registration Date, the Plan, and all Awards issued thereunder, are intended to be exempt from the application
of Section 162(m) of the Code, which restricts under certain circumstances the Federal income tax deduction for compensation
paid by a public company to named executives in excess of $1 million per year. The exemption is based on Treasury Regulation
Section 1.162-27 (f), in the form existing on the effective date of the Plan, with the understanding that such regulation
generally exempts from the application of Section 162(m) of the Code compensation paid pursuant to a plan that existed before
a company becomes publicly held. Under such Treasury Regulation, this exemption is available to the Plan for the duration of the
period that lasts until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Plan; (ii) the material modification of the Plan; (iii) the
exhaustion of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan, as set forth in Section 3(a);
(iv) the first meeting of shareholders at which Directors are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year
following the calendar year in which the Company first becomes subject to the reporting obligations of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act; or (v) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. To the extent that the Administrator determines as of the date of grant of an Award that (i) the Award is intended
to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation; and (ii) the exemption described above is no longer available with respect to
such Award, such Award shall not be effective until any stockholder approval required under Section 162(m) of the Code has
been obtained.

 

    	19 | Page	 

     

    

 

19.         Unfunded
Obligation. Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees
pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required
to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such
obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which
the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust
or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company
or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s
creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related
Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

 

20.         Construction.
Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision
of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include
the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

 

21.         Nonexclusivity
of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company
for approval, nor any provision of the Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such
additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Awards otherwise
than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
