EMPLOYEE
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

1.
Establishment and Purpose of Plan.

 

The
Company has adopted this Plan to grant options for the purchase of the Company’s Shares to Eligible Employees of the Company
and its Participating Corporations. In addition, the Plan authorizes the grant of options pursuant to Foreign Plans or sub-plans
or special rules adopted by the Committee designed to achieve desired tax or other objectives in particular locations outside
of the United States or to achieve other business objectives in the determination of the Committee, which arrangements shall not
be required to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code or all of the specific provisions of the Plan, including
but not limited to terms relating to eligibility or Purchase Price.

 

The
Company intends this Plan to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (including
any amendments to or replacements of such Code Section 423), and this Plan shall be so construed. Any term not expressly defined
in this Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein.

 

The
purpose of this Plan is to provide Eligible Employees of the Company and Participating Corporations with a convenient means of
acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such Employees’ sense of participation
in the affairs of the Company and Participating Corporations, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.

be final and binding upon all persons. The Committee’s decisions and determinations will be afforded the maximum deference

To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each member of the Committee, or of the Board, or any persons who are delegated
by the Board or Committee to perform administrative functions in connection with the Plan, shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him
or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which
he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan, and (ii) from any and all amounts paid
by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment
in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at
its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be
entitled under the Company’s Memorandum of Association or Bye-laws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under
any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 

5.

to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock or holds options to purchase stock possessing five percent

or who, as a result of being granted an option under this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would own stock or hold options

    who reside in countries for whom such Employees’ participation in the Plan would result in a violation under any applicable

    to violate the requirements of Code Section 423. 

 

    	 -7-

     

    

 

(c)
The Company shall determine in good faith and in the exercise of its discretion whether an individual has become or has ceased
to be an Employee or an Eligible Employee and the effective date of such individual’s attainment or termination of such
status, as the case may be. For purposes of an individual’s participation in or other rights, if any, under the Plan as
of the time of the Company’s determination of whether or not the individual is an Employee, all such determinations by the
Company shall be final, binding and conclusive as to such rights, if any, notwithstanding that the Company or any court of law
or governmental agency subsequently makes a contrary determination as to such individual’s status as an Employee.

 

6.
Offering Dates.

 

Except
as otherwise provided below, an Offering Period shall be of a three (3) month duration commencing on or about January, April,
July and October of each year, respectively (or at such other time or times as may be determined by the Board or the Committee),
or such other duration as the Committee shall determine. Within each Offering Period, there may be one or more consecutive Purchase
Periods each of such number and duration as may be determined by the Board or the Committee and which shall cover the entire duration
of the Offering Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee determines otherwise, the First Offering Period and
First Purchase Period shall each commence on January 4, 2021 and the First Offering Period and First Purchase Period shall each
end on March 31, 2021. The Committee shall have the power to establish additional or alternative sequential or overlapping Offering
Periods, a different duration for one or more Offering Periods or Purchase Periods, or different Offering Dates and Purchase Dates
without shareholder approval if such change is implemented prior to the relevant Offering Period or Purchase Period (as applicable)
or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the duration of any
Offering Period shall not exceed twenty-seven (27) months.

 

7.
Participation in this Plan.

 

(a)
Eligible Employees may become Participants in an Offering Period under this Plan on the Offering Date, after satisfying the eligibility
requirements, by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company prior to such Offering Date, or such other time period as
specified by the Committee. Enrollment will become effective upon the first day of an Offering Period. An Eligible Employee who
does not deliver a subscription agreement to the Company after becoming eligible to participate in an Offering Period shall not
participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such Employee enrolls in this Plan by delivering
a subscription agreement with the Company prior to such Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee.
Once an Employee becomes a Participant in an Offering Period, such Employee shall automatically participate in the Offering Period
commencing immediately following the last day of the prior Offering Period unless the Employee withdraws or is deemed to withdraw
from this Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 12 below. Such Participant is
not required to file any additional subscription agreement in order to continue participation in this Plan.

 

    	 -8-

     

    

 

(b)
To the extent permitted by applicable laws or as otherwise provided by the Committee, if the Fair Market Value of a Share on any
Offering Date is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share for the immediately preceding Offering Period’s Offering Date,
then all Participants in the immediately preceding Offering Period shall, after purchasing Shares on the applicable Purchase Date
for such immediately preceding Offering Period, be automatically enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period (and removed
from the immediately preceding Offering Period).

 

8.
Grant of Option on Enrollment.

 

Enrollment
by an Eligible Employee in this Plan with respect to an Offering Period shall constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by
the Company to such Employee of an option to purchase on the Purchase Date up to that whole number of Shares determined by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the amount accumulated in such Employee’s payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period
and the denominator of which is the per share Purchase Price provided under Section 9. The number of Shares subject to any option
granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the lesser of the purchase limits specified in Sections 11(a), 11(b) and 11(c)
below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change in generally accepted accounting principles which would adversely
affect the accounting treatment applicable to any current Offering Period, the Committee may make such changes to the number of
Shares purchased at the end of the Purchase Period or the Purchase Price paid as are allowable under generally accepted accounting
principles and as it deems necessary in the sole discretion of the Committee to avoid or minimize adverse accounting consequences.

 

9.
Purchase Price.

 

The
Purchase Price per Share at which a Share shall be sold in any Purchase Period shall be established by the Committee; provided,
however, that the Purchase Price on each Purchase Date shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the (i) Offering Date or (ii) Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of a Share).
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Purchase Price for each Purchase Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of
the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the (i) Offering Date or (ii) Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par
value of a Share).

 

    	 -9-

     

    

 

10.
Payment Of Purchase Price; Changes In Payroll Deductions; Issuance Of Shares.

 

(a)
The Purchase Price of the Shares will be paid by accumulated regular payroll deductions made by a Participant during each Purchase
Period. Payroll deductions are made as a percentage of the Participant’s Compensation in one percent (1%) increments, not
less than one percent (1%), nor greater than fifteen percent (15%), or such lower limit set by the Committee. Except as otherwise
provided in this Plan, payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday of the Offering Period and shall continue to the
end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan.

 

(b)
A Participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions during an Offering Period (but not below one percent (1%)
of Compensation or not above any maximum percentage of Compensation established by the Committee, which limits may be subsequently
changed by the Committee in its sole discretion) by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions, in which
case the new rate shall become effective for the next full payroll period commencing five (5) business days after the Company’s
receipt of the authorization (unless the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to process a given change in payroll deduction
rate more quickly) and shall continue for the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. Such increase
or decrease in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during an Offering Period, but not more than one (1) change
to increase and one (1) change to decrease deductions may be made effective during any Offering Period; provided however that
a change to decrease payroll deductions to zero shall be governed by Section 10(d) below. A Participant may increase or decrease
the rate of payroll deductions for any subsequent Offering Period by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions
prior to the beginning of such Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. If a Participant has
not followed such procedures to change the rate of payroll deductions, the rate of his or her payroll deductions will continue
at the originally elected rate throughout the Offering Period and future Offering Periods (unless correctly changed as provided
in this Section 10(b) or terminated as provided in Section 12).

 

(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 11(a), the Committee
may decrease a Participant’s payroll deductions to zero percent (0%) at any time during a Purchase Period. Subject to Section
423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 11(a), payroll deductions which have been decreased to zero percent (0%) pursuant to this Section
10(c) will recommence at the rate originally elected by the Participant effective as of the beginning of the first Purchase Period
which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 12.

 

(d)
A Participant may reduce his or her payroll deduction percentage to zero during an Offering Period by filing with the Company
a request for cessation of payroll deductions. Such reduction shall become effective for the next full payroll period commencing
five (5) business days after the Company’s receipt of the request and no further payroll deductions shall be made for the
duration of the Offering Period. Payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account prior to the effective date of
the request shall be used to purchase Shares in accordance with Section 10(f) below. A Participant may not resume making payroll
deductions during the Offering Period in which he or she reduced his or her payroll deductions to zero.

 

    	 -10-

     

    

 

(e)
All payroll deductions made for a Participant are credited to his or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general
funds of the Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions, except as may be required by applicable law, as determined
by the Committee, and if so required by the laws of a particular jurisdiction. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll
deductions.

 

(f)
On each Purchase Date, for so long as this Plan remains in effect and provided that the Participant has not submitted a signed
and completed withdrawal form before that date (which notifies the Company that the Participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering
Period under this Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the Participant, as
of that date returned to the Participant), the Company shall apply the funds then in the Participant’s account to the purchase
of whole Shares reserved under the option granted to such Participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such
option is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The Purchase Price per Share shall be as specified in Section 9 of this Plan. Any
amount remaining in a Participant’s account on a Purchase Date which is less than the amount necessary to purchase a full
Share shall be carried forward, without interest, into the next Purchase Period, as the case may be. In the event that this Plan
has been oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase Shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the Participant, without
interest. No Shares shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any Employee whose participation in this Plan has terminated
prior to such Purchase Date.

 

(g)
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company will arrange the delivery to each Participant of the Shares
purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the Committee (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules
established by the Committee. The Company may permit or require that the Shares be deposited directly with a broker designated
by the Company or to a designated agent of the Company, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer.
The Company may require that the Shares be retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time and/or may establish
other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such Shares.

 

(h)
During a Participant’s lifetime, his or her option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The Participant
shall have no interest or voting, dividend or other shareholder rights with respect to the Shares covered by his or her option
until such option has been exercised and the Shares underlying such option have been delivered to the Participant.

 

    	 -11-

     

    

 

11.
Limitations on Shares to be Purchased.

 

(a)
No Participant shall be permitted to purchase stock under this Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to
purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 in Fair
Market Value, determined as of the Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in
which such option is outstanding at any time. The Company shall automatically suspend the payroll deductions of any Participant
as necessary to enforce such limit provided that when the Company automatically resumes such payroll deductions, the Company must
apply the rate in effect immediately prior to such suspension.

 

(b)
No Participant shall be permitted to purchase on a Purchase Date an amount of Shares that would cause the Maximum Share Amount
for the applicable Offering Period to be exceeded by such Participant and the number of Shares that the Participant can purchase
shall be limited solely to the extent necessary so that the Maximum Share Amount is not exceeded. Prior to the commencement of
any Offering Period or prior to such time period as specified by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set
a Maximum Share Amount or change the Maximum Share Amount. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, the Plan’s initial Maximum
Share Amount for the First Offering Period shall equal 5,000 Shares. If a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all Participants
must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the commencement of the next Offering Period. The Maximum Share Amount
shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Offering Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above.

 

(c)
If the number of Shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all Eligible Employees participating in this Plan exceeds the number
of Shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining Shares
in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine to be equitable,
and either continue all Offering Periods then in effect or terminate all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 27.
In such event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of Shares to be purchased under a Participant’s
option to each Participant affected.

 

(d)
Any payroll deductions accumulated in a Participant’s account which are not used to purchase Shares due to the limitations
in this Section 11 shall be returned to the Participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Purchase Period,
without interest.

 

12.
Withdrawal.

 

(a)
Each Participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this Plan by signing and delivering to the Company a written notice
to that effect on a form provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time at least five (5) days prior to
the end of an Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee.

 

    	 -12-

     

    

 

(b)
Upon withdrawal from this Plan, all of the accumulated payroll deductions shall be returned to the withdrawn Participant, without
interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall automatically terminate and no further payroll deductions for the purchase
of Shares will be made for such Offering Period. In the event a Participant voluntarily elects to withdraw from this Plan, he
or she may not resume his or her participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in
any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a new authorization for
payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth in Section 7 above for initial participation in this Plan.

 

13.
Termination of Employment.

 

Termination
of a Participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a Participant to remain an Eligible
Employee of the Company or of a Participating Corporation, shall immediately terminate his or her participation in this Plan and
the Participant’s option to purchase will automatically terminate. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the
Participant’s account shall be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal representative,
without interest. For purposes of this Section 13, an Employee shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to
remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Participating Corporation in the case of sick leave, military leave, or
any other leave of absence approved by the Board or the Committee; provided, however that such leave is for a period of
not more than three (3) months or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

 

14.
Return of Payroll Deductions.

 

In
the event a Participant’s interest in this Plan is terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or
in the event this Plan is terminated by the Board or the Committee, the Company shall deliver to the Participant all payroll deductions
credited to such Participant’s account. Except as may be required by applicable law, no interest shall accrue on the payroll
deductions of a Participant in this Plan.

 

15.
Capital Changes.

 

Subject
to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number and type of Shares covered by each option under this Plan
which has not yet been exercised, the number and type of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but have
not yet been placed under option, and the Shares subject to the Annual Increase, the Share Limit and Maximum Share Amount, as
well as the Purchase Price per Share covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares of the Company resulting from a stock split
or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Shares), any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding
Shares effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization
affecting the Company’s Shares; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee,
whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares
of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason
thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option.

 

    	 -13-

     

    

 

In
the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by the
Committee setting a New Exercise Date, and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or
liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Committee. The New Exercise Date will be before the date of the Company’s
proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Committee will notify each Participant in writing or electronically prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Purchase Date for the Participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless the Participant has withdrawn from
the Offering Period prior to the New Exercise Date as provided in Section 12.

 

In
the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. However, in the event that the successor corporation
refuses to assume or substitute for the Plan’s outstanding options, the Offering Periods with respect to which such options
relate will be shortened by the Committee setting a New Exercise Date on which such Offering Period shall end. The New Exercise
Date will occur before the date of the Company’s proposed merger or Change in Control. The Committee will notify each Participant
in writing or electronically prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Purchase Date for the Participant’s option has been
changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date,
unless the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period prior to the New Exercise Date as provided in Section 12.

 

16.
Taxes and Withholding.

 

Each
Participant shall be responsible for payment of all individual tax liabilities arising under the Plan. The Shares purchased upon
exercise of an option hereunder shall be considered for tax purposes to be sold to the Participant on the Purchase Date. At the
time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Shares issued under the Plan is disposed
of, the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s or Participating Corporation’s federal,
state, or any other tax liability payable to any authority, national insurance, social security or other tax withholding obligations,
if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Shares. At any time, the Company or the Participating
Corporation may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s Compensation or Shares issued to a
Participant in the amount necessary for the Company or the Participating Corporation to meet applicable withholding obligations,
including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the Participating Corporation any tax deductions or benefits
attributable to sale or early disposition of Shares by the Participant.

17.
Nonassignability.

 

Neither
payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive
Shares under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by the laws of descent
and distribution or as provided in Section 24) by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition
shall be void and without effect, except that the Company may treat such an act as an election to withdraw from an Offering Period
in accordance with Section 12.

 

18.
Reports.

 

Individual
accounts shall be maintained for each Participant in this Plan. Each Participant shall be delivered, at least annually, a report
of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of Shares purchased, the per Share price
thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any.

 

19.
Notice of Disposition.

 

Each
Participant shall notify the Company in writing if the Participant disposes of any of the Shares purchased in a Purchase Period
pursuant to this Plan if such disposition occurs within the Notice Period. The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period,
place a legend or legends on any certificate representing Shares acquired pursuant to this Plan requesting the Company’s
transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the Shares. The obligation of the Participant to provide such notice shall
continue notwithstanding the placement of any such legend on the certificates.

 

20.
No Rights to Continued Employment.

 

Neither
this Plan nor the grant of any option hereunder shall confer any right on any Employee to remain in the employ of the Company
or any Participating Corporation, or restrict the right of the Company or any Participating Corporation to terminate such Employee’s
employment.

 

21.
Equal Rights and Privileges.

 

All
Eligible Employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an “employee
stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code and the related regulations. Any provision of this Plan
which is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company, the Committee or the
Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in Section 29 regarding
Foreign Plans and sub-plans, this Section 21 shall take precedence over all other provisions in this Plan.

22.
Notices.

 

All
notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have
been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company
for the receipt thereof.

 

23.
Term; Shareholder Approval.

 

This
Plan was adopted by the Board on December 3, 2020 conditioned on and subject to obtaining Company shareholder approval on or before
December 31, 2020. This Plan will be terminated as of the end of the day on January 1, 2021 and be null and void with no Share
issuances if Company shareholders have not approved this Plan on or before December 31, 2020. Provided that this Plan is timely
approved by the shareholders of the Company then this Plan shall become effective on January 1, 2021 and shall continue until
the earliest to occur of (a) termination of this Plan by the Board or the Committee (which termination may be effected by the
Board or the Committee at any time), (b) issuance of all of the Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan, or (c) December
1, 2030.

 

24.
Designation of Beneficiary.

 

(a)
A Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash, if any, from the Participant’s
account under this Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to the end of a Purchase Period but prior to
delivery to him of such Shares and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to
receive any cash from the Participant’s account under this Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to
a Purchase Date.

 

(b)
Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of
a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under this Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s
death, the Company shall deliver such Shares or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if
no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such Shares or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent
or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

25.
Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Limitation on Sale of Shares.

 

No
option granted under the Plan may be exercised to any extent unless the Shares to be issued upon such exercise under the Plan
are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act and the Plan is in material compliance with
all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, applicable state and foreign securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange
upon which the Shares may then be listed, subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
If on a Purchase Date, the Plan and the Shares reserved for the Plan are not so registered or in such compliance, options granted
under the Plan which are not in material compliance shall not be exercised on such Purchase Date, and the Purchase Date shall
be delayed until the Plan and the Shares reserved for the Plan is subject to such an effective registration statement and such
compliance, except that the Purchase Date shall not be delayed more than twelve (12) months and the Purchase Date shall in no
event be more than twenty-seven (27) months from the Offering Date. If, on the Purchase Date of any offering hereunder, as delayed
to the maximum extent permissible, the Plan and the Shares reserved for the Plan are not registered or are not in such compliance,
options granted under the Plan which are not in material compliance shall not be exercised and all payroll deductions accumulated
during the Offering Period (reduced to the extent, if any, that such deductions have been used to acquire Shares) shall be returned
to the Participants, without interest. The provisions of this Section 25 shall comply with the requirements of Section 423(b)(5)
of the Code to the extent applicable.

 

As
a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option 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 of the aforementioned
applicable provisions of law.

 

26.
Applicable Law.

 

This
Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of New York, but without regard to its conflict
of law provisions. The Committee may provide that any dispute as to any Award shall be presented and determined in such forum
as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration. Participants are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal or state courts of the Borough of Manhattan, State of New York to resolve any and all issues that may
arise out of or relate to the Plan.

 

27.
Amendment or Termination.

 

(a)
The Board or the Committee may at any time amend, terminate or extend the term of this Plan, except that any such termination
cannot affect options previously granted under this Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option previously granted
which would adversely affect the right of any Participant, nor may any amendment be made without approval of the shareholders
of the Company within twelve (12) months of the adoption of such amendment (or earlier if required by Section 23) if such amendment
would:

 

	 	i.	increase
    the number of Shares or change the type of Shares that may be issued under this Plan;
	 	 	 
	 	ii.	expand
    the designation of the Employees (or class of Employees) eligible for participation in this Plan; or
	 	 	 
	 	iii.	otherwise
    require shareholder approval under applicable law or the requirements of any stock exchange or consolidated listing system
    on which the Company’s stock is then listed.

 

    	 -17-

     

    

 

(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or the Committee may make such amendments to the Plan as the Board or the Committee determines
to be advisable and which do not cause unfavorable accounting treatment, including termination of or changes with respect to current
Offering Periods, if the continuation of the Plan or any Offering Period would result in financial accounting treatment for the
Plan that is different from the financial accounting treatment in effect on the date this Plan is adopted by the Board.

 

28.
Rule 16b-3.

 

Transactions
under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. If any provision of the Plan or action by the Board or the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and
void to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board or the Committee. Moreover, in the event the Plan does not
include a provision required by Rule 16b-3 to be stated herein, such provision (other than one relating to eligibility requirements,
or the price and amount of awards) shall be deemed automatically to be incorporated by reference into the Plan.

 

29.
Foreign Plans and Sub-Plans.

 

The
Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements
of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt
Foreign Plans or sub-plans and rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by Participants,
payment of interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of
stock certificates which vary with local requirements; however, if such varying provisions are not in accordance with the provisions
of Section 423(b) of the Code, including but not limited to the requirement of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all options
granted under the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges unless otherwise provided under the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, then the individuals affected by such varying provisions shall be deemed to be participating under a separate
sub-plan and not in the Plan. The Committee may also adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries or locations, and any
such Foreign Plans or sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Code section 423. The rules of any such Foreign Plans
or sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 3, but unless otherwise superseded
by the terms of such Foreign Plan or sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such plans. If payroll
deductions are not permitted in a jurisdiction, Participants in that jurisdiction may contribute via check or pursuant to another
method approved by the Committee. The Committee shall not be required to obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders
prior to the adoption, amendment or termination of any Foreign Plan or sub-plan unless required by the laws of the foreign jurisdiction
in which Employees participating in the applicable plan are located.

 

30.
Successor Provisions.

 

Any
reference to a statute, rule or regulation, or to a section of a statute, rule or regulation, is a reference to that statute,
rule, regulation, or section as amended from time to time, both before and after the effective date of this Plan and including
any successor provisions.

 

To
record the approval of this Plan by the Board, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this Plan on behalf
of the Company.
