RE:     Securities
Purchase Agreement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are pleased to accept the
offer you (the “Subscriber”) have made to purchase 575,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Shares”),
par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with all other classes of Company common
stocks, the “Common Stocks”) in ourselves, JJ Opportunity Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
among which, up to 75,000 Shares are subject to forfeiture pending the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriter
in connection with the initial public offering of the Company. The terms on which the Company is willing to sell the Shares to the Subscriber
pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Company
and the Subscriber’s agreement regarding such Shares, are as follows:

 

1.       Purchase
of Shares. The Company hereby sells and issues to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby purchases from the Company the Shares,
for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Agreement”).
Concurrently with the Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement, the Company is delivering to the Subscriber certificate(s) registered
in the Subscriber’s name representing the Shares, receipt of which the Subscriber hereby acknowledges.

 

2.       Representations,
Warranties and Agreements.

 

2.1.   Subscriber’s
Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Company to issue the Shares to the Subscriber, the Subscriber hereby represents
and warrants to the Company and agrees with the Company as follows:

 

2.1.1.       No
Government Recommendation or Approval. The Subscriber understands that no United States federal or state agency or similar agency
of any other country has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Shares.

 

2.1.2.       No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Subscriber of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the provisions of the organizational documents of such Subscriber,
if any, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Subscriber is a party, or (iii) any law, statute, rule or
regulation to which the Subscriber is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which such Subscriber is subject.

 

2.1.3.       Organization
and Authority. Upon execution and delivery by the Subscriber, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of such Subscriber,
enforceable against such Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

    1

     

    

 

2.1.4.       Experience,
Financial Capability and Suitability. Each Subscriber is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the
risks and benefits of the investment in the Shares and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an
indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore cannot be sold unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber has substantial experience
in evaluating and investing in transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that he or she is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. The Subscriber must bear the
economic risk of this investment until the Shares are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risks
of an investment in the Shares and to afford a complete loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Shares.

 

2.1.5.       Access
to Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask
questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances,
operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all
information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on Subscriber’s own knowledge
and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished
pursuant to this paragraph. Subscriber understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations
which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and Subscriber has not relied on any other representations or information in
making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations and/or its prospects.

 

2.1.6.       Private
Offering. The Subscriber acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption pursuant
to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

2.1.7.       Investment
Purposes. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber’s own account and not for
the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof and the Subscriber has
no present arrangement to sell the interest in the Shares to or through any person or entity. The Subscriber did not decide to enter into
this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities
Act.

 

2.1.8.       Restrictions
on Transfer; Shell Company; Affiliate Status. The Subscriber understands the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving
a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act. Subscriber understands the Shares will be “restricted securities”
within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and Subscriber understands that the certificates representing
the Shares will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or
otherwise transfer the Shares, such Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration
under the Securities Act, or (ii) an available exemption from registration. Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Shares
or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Subscriber may be required to deliver to
the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or an exemption, the Subscriber agrees not to resell
the Shares. The Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to the
Subscriber for the resale of the Shares until one year following consummation of the initial business combination of the Company, despite
technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions. Such Subscriber
(a) acknowledges that after the issuance of the Shares, such Subscriber may be deemed an “affiliate” of the Company under
the Securities Act, (b) acknowledges understanding the additional restrictions under the Securities Act applicable to affiliate of
the Company, and (c) acknowledges that it had a full and fair opportunity and the means to obtain United States securities counsel
and discuss such restrictions prior to entering into this Agreement.

 

    2

     

    

 

2.1.9.         No
Governmental Consents. No governmental, administrative or other third party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate
on the part of Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

2.1.10.       Bad
Actor. Such Subscriber is not subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to
(viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or
(d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether he, she or it is subject to a
Disqualification Event. The purchase of the Shares will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event. There are no matters that
would have triggered disqualification under Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act but occurred before September 23, 2013.

 

2.1.11.       No
Legal Advice from Company. The Subscriber acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto with its own legal counsel and investment
and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Company made in this Agreement and the other agreements entered
into between the parties hereto, the Subscriber is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

 

2.1.12.       Reliance
on Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber understands the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on exemptions
from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and
that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of the Subscriber set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions.

 

2.1.13.        No
General Solicitation or General Advertising; No Directed Selling Efforts. The Subscriber is not aware of any form of general solicitation
or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation S) in respect of the Shares, including (1) any advertisement, article, notice
or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or the internet; and
(2) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

    3

     

    

 

2.2.   Company’s
Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Subscriber to purchase the Shares, the Company hereby represents and warrants
to the Subscriber and agrees with the Subscriber as follows:

 

2.2.1.       Organization
and Corporate Power. The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
Delaware and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite
corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

2.2.2.       No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (1) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, (2) any
agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party, or (3) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the
Company is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject. Other than any registration statement
which may be filed pursuant thereto, the Company is not required under federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or self-regulatory entity
in order for it to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

2.2.3.       Title
to Securities. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Shares will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof the Subscriber will have or
receive good title to the Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (i) transfer restrictions
hereunder and under the other agreements contemplated hereby, (ii) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws,
and (iii) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the action of the Subscriber.

 

2.2.4.       Enforcement.
This Agreement constitutes, and upon the execution and delivery thereof, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights
and remedies or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution may be
limited by federal and state securities laws or principles of public policy.

 

2.2.5.       No
Registration. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Agreement, the issuance
and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act, and neither the Company
nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any authorized representative acting on its behalf, has taken or will take any action hereafter
that would cause the loss of such exemption.

 

    4

     

    

 

2.2.6.       No
Integration. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates have, directly or indirectly through any agent, sold, offered for sale,
solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of, any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) that is or
will be integrated with the sale of the Shares in a manner that would require registration under the Securities Act.

 

2.2.7.       No
General Solicitation or General Advertising. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold
any of the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation S promulgated under the
Securities Act) including (1) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or
similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or the internet; and (2) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited
by any general solicitation or general advertising; nor has it seen or been aware of any activity that, to its knowledge, constitutes
general solicitation or general advertising.

 

3.       Waiver
of Liquidation Distributions; Redemption Rights. In connection with the Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement and, subject to
the below, any other Company securities purchased on a private placement basis, the Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to any distributions by the Company from the Trust Account (as such term is defined in the Investment
Management Trust Agreement to be entered by and between the Company and the trustee thereunder), in the event of a liquidation of the
Company upon the Company’s failure to timely complete a business combination.

 

4.       Forfeiture of Shares.

 

4.1.       Partial or
No Exercise of the Over-allotment Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option granted to the underwriter of the IPO is not exercised
in full, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and any transferees of Shares) shall forfeit any and all
rights to such number of Shares (up to an aggregate of 75,000 Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Over-allotment Option
exercised) such that immediately following such forfeiture, the Subscriber (and all other initial shareholders prior to the IPO, if any)
will own an aggregate number of Shares (not including any private placement units that are expected to be purchased prior to or at the
closing of the IPO, Shares issuable upon exercise of any warrants or any Common Stocks purchased by Subscriber (and all other initial
shareholders prior to the IPO, if any) in the IPO or in the aftermarket) equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Stocks immediately
following the IPO (in each case, not including Class A Common Stocks issuable upon exercise of any warrants).

 

4.2.       Termination
of Rights as Shareholder. If any of the Shares are forfeited in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time the Subscriber
(or successor in interest), shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such forfeited Shares, and the Company shall take such action
as is appropriate to cancel such forfeited Shares.

 

5.       Restrictions
on Transfer.

 

5.1.       Securities Law Restrictions. The Subscriber agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all
or any part of the Shares unless, prior thereto (i) a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws with respect to the Shares proposed to be transferred shall then be effective, or (ii) that an exemption
from registration is available under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the Commission thereunder and is in compliance
with all applicable state securities laws.

 

    5

     

    

 

5.2.       Restrictive Legends. Unless counsel otherwise advises, all certificates representing the Shares shall have endorsed thereon
legends substantially as follows:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS
AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, IN EACH
CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION, SUCH SECURITIES MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IF THE COMPANY AND TRANSFER AGENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION
SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

 

5.3.       Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration
of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization
or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding capital stock without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted
or additional securities or other property which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to this
Section 4 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 4. Appropriate adjustments
to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of Shares subject to this Section 4.

 

6.       Other
Agreements.

 

6.1.       Further Assurances. The Subscriber agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such further
action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

 

6.2.       No Obligation as to Employment. The Company is not by reason of this Agreement obligated to employ, or continue
to employ, the Subscriber in any capacity.

 

    6

     

    

 

6.3.       Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be addressed
to the receiving party’s address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or to such other address as a party may designate
by notice hereunder, and shall be either (1) delivered by hand, (2) sent by overnight courier, (3) sent via facsimile,
or (4) sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be deemed to have been given either (i) if by hand, at the time of the delivery thereof to the receiving party at
the address of such party set forth above, (ii) if sent by overnight courier, on the next business day following the day such notice
is delivered to the courier service, (iii) if sent via facsimile, when receipt is acknowledged, or (iv) if sent by certified
mail, on the (5th) business day following the day such mailing is made.

 

6.4.       Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Subscriber and the Company
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any kind not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall
affect, or be used to interpret, change or restrict, the express terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

6.5.       Modifications and Amendments. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended only by written
agreement executed by all parties hereto.

 

6.6.       Waivers and Consents. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure
therefrom granted, only by written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver
or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement,
whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it
was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

 

6.7.       Assignment. The rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto
without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

6.8.       Benefit. All statements, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be binding on the
parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each party hereto. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to create any rights or obligations except among the parties hereto, and no person or entity shall be regarded
as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

 

6.9.       Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of New York for agreements made and to be wholly performed within such country.

 

6.10.      Severability. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any
portion thereof, contained in this Agreement shall be unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed
limited to the extent that such court deems it reasonable and enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In
the event that such court shall deem any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

 

    7

     

    

 

6.11.       No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right,
power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right,
power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required
under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances
without such notice or demand.

 

6.12.       Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any other
agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations
made by or on behalf of the parties.

 

6.13.       No Broker or Finder. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other that no broker, finder
or other financial consultant has acted on its behalf in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such
a way as to create any liability on the other. Each of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and save the other harmless from any claim
or demand for commission or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed
by or on behalf of such party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.

 

6.14.       Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

6.15.       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid
and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

    8

     

    

 

7.       Indemnification.
Each party shall indemnify the other against any loss, cost or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred
as a result of such party’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

 

8.       Disclosure.
The Subscriber agrees not to disclose information about this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby until and to the extent
the Company publicly discloses such information.

 

9.       Fees.
Each party hereto shall be responsible for its own internal costs and legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in connection
with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement.

The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors effective March 11, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) and was most recently amended and restated on October 11, 2021. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units, options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options), or stock appreciation rights.

(b)“Award” shall mean any award of an Option, a SAR, a Restricted Share or a Stock Unit under the Plan.

	Had been directors of the Company on the “look-back date” (as defined below) (the “original directors”); or

	(B)
	Were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved (the “continuing directors”);

	(ii)
	Any “person” (as defined below) who by the acquisition or aggregation of securities, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart

​

​

​
from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote at elections of directors (the “Base Capital Stock”); except that any change in the relative beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any person resulting solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and any decrease thereafter in such person’s ownership of securities, shall be disregarded until such person increases in any manner, directly or indirectly, such person’s beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company; or
	(iii)
	The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of (A) the Company (or its successor) and (B) any direct or indirect parent corporation of the Company (or its successor); or

	The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Any other provision of this Section 2(d) notwithstanding, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the public offering of securities or debt of the Company to the public.

(l)“Exercise Price” shall mean, in the case of an Option, the amount for which one Share may be purchased upon exercise of such Option, as specified in the applicable Stock Option Agreement. “Exercise Price,” in the case of a SAR, shall mean an amount, as specified in the applicable SAR Agreement, which is subtracted from the Fair Market Value of one Share in determining the amount payable upon exercise of such SAR.
(m)“Fair Market Value” with respect to a Share, shall mean the market price of one Share, determined by the Committee as follows:
	(i)
	If the Stock was traded over-the-counter on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the last transaction price quoted for such date by the OTC Bulletin Board or, if not so quoted, shall be equal to the mean between the last reported representative bid and asked prices quoted for such date by the principal automated inter-dealer quotation system on which the Stock is quoted or, if the Stock is not quoted on any such system, by the OTC Link Quote system;

	(ii)
	If the Stock was traded on any established stock exchange (such as the New York Stock Exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market) or national market system on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the closing price reported for such date by the applicable exchange or system; and

	(iii)
	If none of the foregoing provisions is applicable, then the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Committee in good faith on such basis as it deems appropriate.

In all cases, the determination of Fair Market Value by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

A corporation that attains the status of a Parent on a date after the adoption of the Plan shall be a Parent commencing as of such date.
​

​

​
(s)“Participant” shall mean a person who holds an Award.
(t)“Performance Based Award” shall mean any Restricted Share Award or Stock Unit Award granted to a Participant that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(x)“SAR” shall mean a stock appreciation right granted under the Plan.
(y)“Service” shall mean service as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director, subject to such further limitations as may be set forth in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement. Service does not terminate when an Employee goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an Employee’s employment will be treated as terminating three months after such Employee went on leave, unless such Employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves of absence count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

(aa)“Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company.

The Committee shall consist of two or more directors of the Company.

Within the limitations of the preceding sentence, any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include such committee or committees appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence.

	To prescribe the terms and conditions of each Award, including (without limitation) the Exercise Price and Purchase Price, and the vesting or duration of the Award (including accelerating the vesting of Awards, either at the time of the Award or thereafter, without the consent of the Participant), to determine whether an Option is to be classified as an ISO or as a Nonstatutory Option, and to specify the provisions of the agreement relating to such Award;

	(ix)
	To amend any outstanding Award Agreement, subject to applicable legal restrictions and to the consent of the Participant if the Participant’s rights or obligations would be materially impaired;

	(x)
	To prescribe the consideration for the grant of each Award or other right under the Plan and to determine the sufficiency of such consideration;

​

6

​

​
(b)Automatic Grants to Outside Directors.
	(i)
	On the first business day following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, commencing with the annual meeting occurring after the Effective Date, each Outside Director who was not elected to the Board for the first time at such meeting and who will continue serving as a member of the Board of Directors thereafter shall receive an Option to purchase 500 Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 11), provided that such Outside Director has served on the Board of Directors for at least six months. Each Option granted under this Section 4(b)(ii) shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that each such Option shall become vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the next regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following such date of grant in the event such meeting occurs prior to such first anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Option granted under this Section 4(b)(ii) shall become vested and exercisable in full if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company during the Participant’s Service.

	(ii)
	The Exercise Price of all Nonstatutory Options granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, payable in one of the forms described in Section 8(a), (b), (d), (e), (f) or (h).

	(iii)
	All Nonstatutory Options granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Options or (B) the date that is twelve months after the termination of such Outside Director’s Service for any reason; provided, however, that any such Options that are not vested upon the termination of the Outside Director’s Service as a member of the Board of Directors for any reason shall terminate immediately and may not be exercised.

	(iv)
	The Board of Directors or the Committee in its discretion may change and otherwise revise the terms of the Nonstatutory Options granted to Outside Directors under this Section 4(b), including, without limitation, the number of Shares subject thereto, the type of Award to be granted under this Section 4(b), for Options or other Awards granted on or after the date the Board of Directors or Committee determines to make any such change or revision.

(c)Ten-Percent Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code.
(d)Attribution Rules. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, in determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such Employee’s brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries.
(e)Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, “outstanding stock” shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the grant. “Outstanding stock” shall
​

7

​

​
not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any other person.
SECTION 5.STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
(a)Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance as Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 7,460,000 Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Shares that may be delivered in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the Plan shall not exceed 7,460,000 Shares plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(c). The limitations of this Section 5(a) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. The number of Shares that are subject to Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
(b)Section 162(m)Award Limitation. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan and subject to the provisions of Section 11, with respect to any Option or SAR intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, no Participant eligible for an Award may receive Options or SARs under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to an aggregate of more than 500,000 Shares, and no more than two times this amount in the first year of employment. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitation with respect to a Participant, 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 Participant. For this purpose, the repricing of an Option or SAR shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option or SAR and the grant of a new Option or SAR.
(c)Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised or settled, or an Award is settled in cash without the delivery of Shares to the holder, then any Shares subject to the Award shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. Only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of Awards (and not forfeited) shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. Any Shares withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any Award shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), Shares that have actually been issued shall not again become available for Awards under the Plan, except for Shares that are forfeited and do not become vested.
(d)Substitution and Assumption of Awards. The Committee may make Awards under the Plan by assumption, substitution or replacement of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock units or similar awards granted by another entity (including a Parent or Subsidiary), if such assumption, substitution or replacement is in connection with an asset acquisition, stock acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company (and/or its
​

8

​

​
Parent or Subsidiary) and such other entity (and/or its affiliate). The terms of such assumed, substituted or replaced Awards shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate. Any such substitute or assumed Awards shall not count against the Share limitation set forth in Section 5(a).
SECTION 6.RESTRICTED SHARES.
(a)Restricted Share Award Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Share Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Share Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b)Payment for Awards. Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services.
(c)Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Share Award Agreement. A Restricted Share Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
(d)Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Share Award Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid.
(e)Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Share Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.
SECTION 7.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
(a)Stock Option Award Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Award Agreement. The Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
​

9

​

​
(b)Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11.
(c)Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise provided in 4(c), and the Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be less 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with an Exercise Price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms described in Section 8.
(d)Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Participant shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Participant shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.
(e)Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Award Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years for ISOs granted to Employees described in Section 4(c)). A Stock Option Award Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.
(f)Exercise of Options. Each Stock Option Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Participant’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Participant by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.
(g)Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
​

10

​

​
(h)No Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 11.
(i)Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (to the extent not previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price, or in return for the grant of a different Award for the same or a different number of Shares or for cash; provided however that other than in connection with an adjustment of Awards pursuant to Section 11, the Committee may not modify outstanding Options to lower the Exercise Price nor may the Committee assume or accept the cancellation of outstanding Options in return for cash or the grant of new Awards when the Exercise Price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Options, unless such action has been approved by the Company’s stockholders.  The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.
(j)Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.
SECTION 8.PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
(a)General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(h) below.
(b)Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Participant or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Participant shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.
(c)Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of the Award) of the value of the services rendered by the Participant and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b).
(d)Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an
​

11

​

​
irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.
(e)Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.
(f)Net Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall be reduced by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price (plus tax withholdings, if applicable) and any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price (and/or applicable tax withholdings) not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued shall be paid by the Optionee in cash other form of payment permitted under the Stock Option Agreement.
(g)Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement or Restricted Share Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full- recourse promissory note.
(h)Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Award Agreement or Restricted Share Award Agreement so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.
(i)Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Award Agreement or Restricted Share Award Agreement to the contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
SECTION 9.STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
(a)SAR Award Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b)Number of Shares. Each SAR Award Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11.
(c)Exercise Price. Each SAR Award Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of a SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SARs may be granted with an Exercise Price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 9(c), the Exercise Price under any SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
​

12

​

​
(d)Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Award Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Award Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Award Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.
(e)Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
(f)Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.
(g)Modification, Extension or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price, or in return for the grant of a different Award for the same or a different number of Shares or cash; provided, however, that other than in connection with an adjustment of Awards pursuant to Section 11, the Committee may not modify outstanding SARs to lower the Exercise Price nor may the Committee assume or accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs in return for cash or the grant of new Awards when the Exercise Price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such SARs, unless such action has been approved by the Company’s stockholders. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.
SECTION 10.STOCK UNITS.
(a)Stock Unit Award Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b)Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.
​

13

​

​
(c)Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Award Agreement. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
(d)Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Stock Units to which they attach.
(e)Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide that vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide that the distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.
(f)Death of Participant. Any Stock Unit Award that becomes payable after the Participant’s death shall be distributed to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Unit Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Participant’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the Participant’s death shall be distributed to the Participant’s estate.
(g)Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Award Agreement.
​

​

​
SECTION 11.ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a)Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate and equitable adjustments in:
	(i)
	The number of Shares available for future Awards under Section 5;

	(ii)
	The limitations set forth in Sections 5(a) and (b) and Section 18;

	(iii)
	The number of NSOs to be granted to Outside Directors under Section 4(b);

	(iv)
	The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award; and

	(v)
	The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR.

(b)Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
(c)Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, such agreement shall provide for:
	(i)
	The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation;

	(ii)
	The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary;

	(iii)
	The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;

	(iv)
	Immediate vesting, exercisability and settlement of outstanding Awards followed by the cancellation of such Awards upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transaction; or

	(v)
	Settlement of the intrinsic value of the outstanding Awards (whether or not then vested or exercisable) in cash or cash equivalents or equity (including cash or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Awards or the underlying Shares) followed by the cancellation of such Awards (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated

​

15

​

​
by the Company without payment); in each case without the Participant’s consent. Any acceleration of payment of an amount that is subject to section 409A of the Code will be delayed, if necessary, until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Section 409A without triggering any additional taxes applicable under Section 409A.
The Company will have no obligation to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.
(d)Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Award. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. In the event of any change affecting the Shares or the Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Award, including a merger or other reorganization, for reasons of administrative convenience, the Company in its sole discretion may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of up to thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence of such event.
SECTION 12.DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.
(a)Committee Powers. Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to:
	(i)
	Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books;

	(ii)
	Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an equal number of Stock Units; or

	(iii)
	Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.

(b)General Rules. A deferred compensation account established under this Section 12 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and
​

16

​

​
forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 12.
SECTION 13.AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.
The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under Section 5.
SECTION 14.PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR’S FEES IN SECURITIES.
(a)Effective Date. No provision of this Section 14 shall be effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.
(b)Elections to Receive NSOs, SARs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. An Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs, SARs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Alternatively, the Board may mandate payment in any of such alternative forms. Such NSOs, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Section 14 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed form.
(c)Number and Terms of NSOs, SARs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. The number of NSOs, SARs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The terms of such NSOs, SARs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by the Board.
SECTION 15.LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company determines is necessary or advisable. The Company shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has not obtained from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan; and (b) any tax consequences expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted under the Plan.
SECTION 16.TAXES.
(a)Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The
​

17

​

​
Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.
(b)Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld that would otherwise be issued to him or her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the minimum legally required tax withholding.
(c)Section 409A. Each Award that provides for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Committee from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. If any amount under such an Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a Participant who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. In addition, the settlement of any such Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A.
SECTION 17.TRANSFERABILITY.
Unless the agreement evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly provides otherwise, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner (prior to the vesting and lapse of any and all restrictions applicable to Shares issued under such Award), other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that an ISO may be transferred or assigned only to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance in violation of this Section 17 shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.
SECTION 18.PERFORMANCE BASED AWARDS.
The number of Shares or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals. The Committee may utilize any performance criteria selected by it in its sole discretion to establish performance goals; provided, however, that in the case of any Performance Based Award, the following conditions shall apply:
	(i)
	The amount potentially available under a Performance Based Award shall be subject to the attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals relating to a specified period of service based on one or more of the following performance criteria: (a) cash flow (including operating cash flow), (b) earnings per share, (c) earnings before any combination of interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization, (d) return on equity, (e) total stockholder return, (f) share price performance, (g) return on capital, (h) return on assets or

	(ii)
	Unless specified otherwise by the Committee at the time the performance goals are established or otherwise within the time prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall appropriately adjust the method of evaluating performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria for a performance period as follows: (i) to exclude asset write-downs, (ii) to exclude litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) to exclude the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) to exclude accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs, (v) to exclude any extraordinary nonrecurring items as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and/or described in managements’ discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year, (vi) to exclude the dilutive effects of acquisitions or joint ventures, (vii) to assume that any business divested by the Company achieved performance objectives at targeted levels during the balance of a performance period following such divestiture, (viii) to exclude the effect of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend or split, stock repurchase, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to common stockholders other than regular cash dividends, (ix) to exclude the effects of stock based compensation and the award of bonuses under the Company’s bonus plans; and (x) to exclude costs incurred in connection with potential acquisitions or divestitures that are required to be expensed under generally accepted accounting principles, in each case in compliance with Section 162(m);

	(iii)
	The Committee shall establish the applicable performance goals in writing and an objective method for determining the Award earned by a Participant if the goals are attained, while the outcome is substantially uncertain and not later than the 90th day of the performance period (but in no event after 25% of the period of service with respect to which the performance goals relate has elapsed), and shall determine and certify in writing, for each Participant, the extent to which the performance goals have been met prior to payment or vesting of the Award; and

	(iv)
	The Committee may not in any event increase the amount of compensation payable under the Plan upon the attainment of the pre-established performance goals to a Participant who is a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

​

19

​

​
	(v)
	The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to Performance Based Awards granted to a Participant in any calendar year is 500,000 Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 11), and no more than two times this amount in the first year of employment.

SECTION 19.NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.
No provision of the Plan, nor any Award granted under the Plan, shall be construed to give any person any right to become, to be treated as, or to remain an Employee or Consultant. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate any person’s Service at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.

(c)Effect of Termination. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards previously granted under the Plan.
