Options granted pursuant
to this Section 8 are intended to constitute Incentive Stock Options and shall be subject to the following special terms and conditions,
in addition to the general terms and conditions specified in Section 6 of the Plan:

 

(a) LIMITATION
ON VALUE OF SHARES.  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Class B Common Stock subject to
Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year

Stock shall be determined as of the date that the Option with respect to such shares was granted.

 

(b) TEN
PERCENT STOCKHOLDER.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, (i) the Option Price
shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Class B Common Stock on the date

Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent determined by the Committee, and will
not be transferable. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only
if the Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock on the date of exercise exceeds the purchase price specified in the
related Incentive Stock Option. Unless otherwise approved by the Committee, no Grantee shall be permitted to exercise any Stock
Appreciation Right during the period beginning two weeks prior to the end of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters and ending

in accordance with procedures specified by the Company from time to time. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Class
B Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. A Grantee may also be required to deliver
to the Company the underlying Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised and any related Option Agreement
so that a notation of such exercise may be made thereon, and such Agreements shall then be returned to the Grantee.

 

(g) FORM
OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the amount determined under Section 9(d) of the Plan may be made solely in whole shares of Class
B Common Stock in a number based upon their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right or, alternatively,
at the sole discretion of the Committee, solely in cash, or in a combination of cash and shares of Class B Common Stock as the
Committee deems advisable. If the Committee decides to make full payment in shares of Class B Common Stock and the amount payable
results in a fractional share, payment for the fractional share will be made in cash.

    8

     

    

 

(e) TREATMENT
OF RELATED OPTIONS AND LIMITED RIGHTS UPON EXERCISE.  Upon the exercise of a Limited Right, the related Option, if any,
shall cease to be exercisable to the extent of the shares of Class B Common Stock with respect to which such Limited Right is exercised
but shall be considered to have been exercised to that extent for purposes of determining the number of shares of Class B Common
Stock available for the grant of future awards pursuant to this Plan. Upon the exercise or termination of a related Option, if
any, the Limited Right with respect to such related Option shall terminate to the extent of the shares of Class B Common Stock
with respect to which the related Option was exercised or terminated.

 

(f) METHOD
OF EXERCISE.  To exercise a Limited Right, the Grantee shall (i) deliver written notice to the Company specifying the
number of shares of Class B Common Stock  with respect to which the Limited Right is being exercised, and (ii) if requested
by the Committee, deliver to the Company the Agreement evidencing the Limited Rights being exercised and, if applicable, the Option
Agreement evidencing the related Option; the Company shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return such Agreements
to the Grantee. The date of exercise of a Limited Right that is validly exercised shall be deemed to be the date on which there
shall have been delivered the instruments referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (f).

 

		11.	Restricted Stock.

 

The Committee may award
shares of Restricted Stock to any eligible employee, director or consultant of the Company or of any Subsidiary. Each award of
Restricted Stock under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Agreement between the Company and the Grantee, in such form as
the Committee shall from time to time approve, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions,
unless otherwise specifically provided in such Agreement:

 

(a) NUMBER
OF SHARES.  Each Agreement shall state the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be subject to an award.

 

(b)
RESTRICTIONS.  Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as the Committee shall
determine from the date on which the award is granted (the “Restricted Period”). The Committee may also impose
such additional or alternative restrictions and conditions on the shares as it deems appropriate including, but not limited
to, the satisfaction of performance criteria. Such performance criteria may include sales, earnings before interest and
taxes, return on investment, earnings per share, any combination of the foregoing or rate of growth of any of the foregoing,
as determined by the Committee. The Company may, at its option, maintain issued shares in book entry
form.  Certificates, if any, for shares of stock issued pursuant to Restricted Stock awards shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to such restrictions, and any attempt to dispose of any such shares of stock in contravention of
such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect. During the Restricted Period, any such certificates shall be
held in escrow by an escrow agent appointed by the Committee. In determining the Restricted Period of an award, the Committee
may provide that the foregoing restrictions shall lapse with respect to specified percentages of the awarded shares on
successive anniversaries of the date of such award.

 

(c) FORFEITURE.  Subject
to such exceptions as may be determined by the Committee, if the Grantee’s Continuous Service with the Company or any Subsidiary
shall terminate for any reason prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period of an award, any shares remaining subject to restrictions
(after taking into account the provisions of Subsection (e) of this Section 11) shall thereupon be forfeited by the Grantee and
transferred to, and retired by, the Company without cost to the Company or such Subsidiary, and such shares shall become available
for subsequent grants of awards under the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

 

(d) OWNERSHIP.  During
the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall possess all incidents of ownership of such shares, subject to Subsection (b) of this Section
11, including the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares and to vote such shares.

 

(e) ACCELERATED
LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS.  Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 14 of the Plan (and subject to
the conditions set forth therein), all restrictions then outstanding on any shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall
lapse as of the applicable date set forth in Section 14. The Committee shall have the authority (and the Agreement may so provide)
to cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any
or all of the shares of Restricted Stock awarded on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

 

    9

     

    

 

		12.	Deferred Stock Units.

 

The Committee may award
Deferred Stock Units to any outside director, eligible employee or consultant of the Company or of any Subsidiary. Each award of
Deferred Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Agreement between the Company and the Grantee, in such form
as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions,
unless otherwise specifically provided in such Agreement:

 

(a) NUMBER
OF SHARES.  Each Agreement for Deferred Stock Units shall state the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be subject
to an award.

 

(b) RESTRICTIONS.  Deferred
Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, until shares of Class B Common Stock are payable with respect to an award. The Committee may impose
such vesting restrictions and conditions on the payment of shares as it deems appropriate including the satisfaction of performance
criteria. Such performance criteria may include sales, earnings before interest and taxes, return on investment, earnings per share,
any combination of the foregoing or rate of growth of any of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee.

 

(c) FORFEITURE.  Subject
to such exceptions as may be determined by the Committee, if the Grantee’s Continuous Service with the Company or any Subsidiary
shall terminate for any reason prior to the Grantee becoming fully vested in the award, then the Grantee’s rights under any
unvested Deferred Stock Units shall be forfeited without cost to the Company or such Subsidiary.

 

(d) OWNERSHIP.  Until
shares are delivered with respect to Deferred Stock Units, the Grantee shall not possess any incidents of ownership of such shares,
including the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares and to vote such shares.

 

(e) ACCELERATED
LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS.  Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 15 of the Plan (and subject to
the conditions set forth therein), all restrictions then outstanding on any Deferred Stock Units awarded under the Plan shall lapse
as of the applicable date set forth in Section 15. The Committee shall have the authority (and the Agreement may so provide) to
cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of any restricted period with respect to any
or all of the shares of Deferred Stock Units awarded on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

 

		13.	Effect of Certain Changes.

 

(a) ADJUSTMENTS
UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  In the event of any extraordinary dividend, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, stock split, warrant or rights issuance, or combination or exchange of such shares, or other similar transactions,
the Committee shall equitably adjust (i) the maximum number of Options or shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded to a Grantee
in any calendar year (as provided in Section 5 hereof), (ii) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock available for awards
under the Plan, (iii) the number and/or kind of shares covered by outstanding awards and (iv) the price per share of Options or
the applicable market value of Stock Appreciation Rights or Limited Rights, in each such case so as to reflect such event and preserve
the value of such awards; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.

 

(b) CHANGE
IN CLASS B COMMON STOCK.  In the event of a change in the Class B Common Stock as presently constituted that is limited
to a change of all of its authorized shares of Class B Common Stock, into the same number of shares with a different par value
or without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Class B Common Stock within the meaning
of the Plan.

 

    10

     

    

 

		14.	Corporate Transaction; Change in Control; Related Entity Disposition.

 

(a) CORPORATE
TRANSACTION.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan shall
automatically become fully vested and exercisable and, in the case of an award of Restricted Stock or an award of Deferred Stock
Units, shall be released from any restrictions on transfer (except with regard to the Insider Trading Policy and such other agreements
between the Grantee and the Company) and repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the specified effective date of
such Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding awards of Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights and Limited Rights under the Plan shall terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. However, all
such awards shall not terminate if the awards are, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, assumed by the successor corporation
or Parent thereof.

 

(b) CHANGE
IN CONTROL.  In the event of a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which is also a Corporate Transaction),
each award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and, in the
case of an award of Restricted Stock or an award of Deferred Stock Units, shall be released from any restrictions on transfer and
repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Change in Control.

 

(c) RELATED
ENTITY DISPOSITION.  The Continuous Service of each Grantee (who is primarily engaged in service to a Related Entity
at the time it is involved in a Related Entity Disposition) shall terminate effective upon the consummation of such Related Entity
Disposition, and each outstanding award of such Grantee under the Plan shall become fully vested and exercisable and, in the case
of an award of Restricted Stock or an award of Deferred Stock Units, shall be released from any restrictions on transfer (except
with regard to the Insider Trading Policy and such other agreements between the Grantee and the Company). Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, the Continuous Service of a Grantee shall not be deemed to terminate (and each outstanding award of such Grantee
under the Plan shall not become fully vested and exercisable and, in the case of an award of Restricted Stock or an award of Deferred
Stock Units, shall not be released from any restrictions on transfer) if (i) a Related Entity Disposition involves the spin-off
of a Related Entity, for so long as such Grantee continues to remain in the service of such entity that constituted the Related
Entity immediately prior to the consummation of such Related Entity Disposition (“SpinCo”) in any capacity of officer,
employee, director or consultant or (ii) an outstanding award is assumed by the surviving corporation (whether SpinCo or otherwise)
or its parent entity in connection with a Related Entity Disposition.

 

(d) SUBSTITUTE
AWARDS.  The Committee may grant awards under the Plan in substitution of stock-based incentive awards held by employees,
consultants or directors of another entity who become employees, consultants or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary by reason
of a merger or consolidation of such entity with the Company or any Subsidiary, or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary
of property or equity of such entity, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, and such awards shall not
count against the share limitation set forth in Section 5 of the Plan.

 

		15.	Period During which Awards May Be Granted.

 

Awards may be granted
pursuant to the Plan, from time to time, until March 14, 2029 which is within a period of ten (10) years from the date the Board
adopted the Plan.

 

		16.	Transferability of Awards.

 

(a) Incentive
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any
manner other than by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the
Grantee or his or her guardian or legal representative.

 

(b) Nonqualified
Stock Options shall be transferable in the manner and to the extent acceptable to the Committee, as evidenced by a writing signed
by the Company and the Grantee. Nonqualified Stock Options (together with any Stock Appreciation Rights or Limited Rights related
thereto) shall be transferable by a Grantee as a gift to the Grantee’s “family members” (as defined in Form S-8)
under such terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee; provided that the Grantee receives no consideration for
the transfer. Notwithstanding the transfer by a Grantee of a Nonqualified Stock Option, the transferred Nonqualified Stock Option
shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Nonqualified Stock Option immediately before
the transfer (including, without limitation, the Insider Trading Policy) and the Grantee will continue to remain subject to the
withholding tax requirements set forth in Section 18 hereof.

 

(c) The
terms of any award granted under the Plan, including the transferability of any such award, shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs and successors of the Grantee.

 

(d) Restricted
Stock shall remain subject to the Insider Trading Policy after the expiration of the Restricted Period.  Deferred Stock
Units shall remain subject to the Insider Trading Policy after payment thereof.

 

    11

     

    

 

		17.	Agreement by Grantee regarding Withholding Taxes.

 

If the Committee shall
so require, as a condition of exercise of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Limited Right, the expiration of a Restricted
Period or payment of a Deferred Stock Unit (each, a “Tax Event”), each Grantee shall agree that no later than the date
of the Tax Event, the Grantee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the Tax Event. Unless determined otherwise by the
Committee, a Grantee shall permit, to the extent permitted or required by law, the Company to withhold federal, state and local
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the Tax Event from any payment of any kind due to the Grantee. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, any such above-described withholding obligation may, in the discretion of the Company, be satisfied
by the withholding by the Company or delivery to the Company of Class B Common Stock.

 

		18.	Rights as a Stockholder.

 

Except as provided in
Section 11(d) of the Plan, a Grantee or a transferee of an award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares
covered by the award until the date of the issuance of such shares to him or her. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary
or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distribution of other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14(a) of the Plan.

 

		19.	No Rights to Employment; Forfeiture of Gains.

 

Nothing in the
Plan or in any award granted or Agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue as
a director of, in the employ of, or in a consultant relationship with, the Company or any Subsidiary or to be entitled to any
remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate such Grantee’s employment or consulting relationship. Awards granted
under the Plan shall not be affected by any change in duties or position of a Grantee as long as such Grantee continues to be
employed by, or in a consultant relationship with, or a director of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Agreement for any
award under the Plan may require the Grantee to pay to the Company any financial gain realized from the prior exercise,
vesting or payment of the award in the event that the Grantee engages in conduct that violates any non-compete,
non-solicitation or non-disclosure obligation of the Grantee under any agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary,
including, without limitation, any such obligations provided in the Agreement.

 

		20.	Beneficiary.

 

A Grantee may file with
the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time,
amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Grantee, the executor or administrator of the Grantee’s
estate shall be deemed to be the Grantee’s beneficiary.

 

		21.	Approval; Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a) APPROVAL.  The
Plan initially became effective when adopted by the Board on March 14, 2019. The Plan was ratified by the Company’s majority
stockholder on March 14, 2019. The Board amended the Plan on July 13, 2020 to increase the amount of authorized shares under the
Plan by 150,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to 450,000. The Company’s stockholders ratified such amendment to the Plan
on July 28, 2020.

 

(b) AMENDMENT
AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.  The Board, or the Committee if so delegated by the Board, at any time and from time to
time may suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Plan; however, unless otherwise determined by the Board, or the Committee if applicable,
an amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with any law, regulation or stock exchange
requirement shall not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders. Except as provided in Section 14(a) of
the Plan, no suspension, termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any award previously granted,
unless the written consent of the Grantee is obtained.

 

    12

     

    

 

		22.	Governing Law.

 

The Plan and all determinations
made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

		23.	Section 409A of the Code.

 

It is the intention of
the Company that no award shall be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent
that the Committee specifically determines otherwise as provided in this Section 24, and the Plan and the terms and conditions
of all awards shall be interpreted accordingly. The terms and conditions governing any awards that the Committee determines will
be subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be set forth in the applicable award Agreement and shall comply in all respects with
Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if one or more of the payments or benefits
received or to be received by a Grantee pursuant to an award would cause the Grantee to incur any additional tax or interest under
Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may reform such provision to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent
of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Although the Company intends to administer
the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company does
not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 409A of the Code or any other
provision of federal, state, local or foreign law. The Company shall not be liable to any Grantee for any tax, interest, or penalties
that Grantee might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of any award under the Plan.
