You will initially report to me and your duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, working with senior management, the BOD, and across all functions within our organization to provide broad legal support in the execution and ongoing management of agreements/contracts, securities matters (including SEC reporting and compliance), litigation, intellectual property, FDA and other regulatory, human resources, and general corporate matters.  Of course, the Company may change your position, duties, and work location from time to time in its discretion.

 

Compensation.  You will initially receive an annual base salary of $320,000.

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Bonus Plan beginning with the 2015 performance year.  The actual award, if any, will be paid in the first quarter of the following year, and will be subject to the usual required deductions and tax withholdings. The Company may change your compensation and benefits from time to time in its sole discretion.

 

Stock Options. In addition, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, it will be recommended that you be granted an option to purchase 65,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The exercise price per share will be determined by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee when the option is granted.  Such option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2014 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

During your employment with the Company, you will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other employees of the Company.  Details about these benefits are provided in the Employee Handbook and Summary Plan Descriptions, available for your review. Where a particular benefit is subject to a formal plan (for example, medical insurance or life insurance), eligibility to participate in and receive any particular benefit from the plan is governed solely by the applicable plan document.

 

Paid Time Off.  As part of these benefits, you will be entitled to paid time off (“PTO”) in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy as in effect from time to time.  Currently, the Company offers full-time employees 21 days of PTO per calendar year.

Conflicting Outside Employment.  While employed by the Company, you may not work as an employee or consultant of any other organization or engage in any other activities which conflict or interfere with your employment obligations to the Company, including working for a competitive organization, or undertaking any activities that could create a conflict of interest.

Your employment with the Company is “at-will,” which means that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause, and with or without advance notice.

It supersedes any other agreements or promises made to you by anyone, whether oral or written.  Changes in your employment terms, other than those changes expressly reserved to the Company’s discretion in this letter, require a written modification signed by an officer of the Company.

The Committee shall

not limited to, the authority to: (1) determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted;
(2) determine the types of Awards to be granted, including determining which Options under the Plan shall be Incentive Stock Options

Award, including, but not limited to, any restriction or condition with respect to the vesting or exercisability of an Award following
termination of any grantee’s employment or other relationship with the Company; provided, however, that no such waiver or
acceleration of lapse restrictions shall (i) be allowed with regard to a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning

the Company or any Affiliate, the participant’s length of service, promotions and potential and determining whether Awards
will be paid after the end of a performance period.

 

The Committee shall
have full power and authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to administer and interpret the Plan, Grant Agreements and
all other documents relevant to the Plan and Awards issued hereunder, and to adopt and interpret such rules, regulations, agreements,
guidelines and instruments for the administration of the Plan and for the conduct of its business as the Committee deems necessary

THE PLAN; MAXIMUM AWARDS

 

Subject to adjustments
as provided in Section 7.3 of the Plan, the shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the
Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 1,979,342 shares of Common Stock, which shall include any shares of Common Stock previously
available for issuance but unissued under the 2006 Plan. Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan
solely to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an Award. Stock Appreciation Rights to be settled in shares of Common
Stock shall be counted in full against the number of shares available for Award under the Plan, regardless of the number of shares
issued upon settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Company shall reserve such number of shares for Awards under the Plan,
subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7.3 of the Plan. The shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan may come
from authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased by the Company in the open market. If any Award, or portion
of an Award, under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable, is settled in cash without delivery of shares
of Common Stock, or is forfeited or otherwise terminated as to any shares, or if any shares of Common Stock are repurchased by
the Company in connection with any Award, the shares subject to such Award and the repurchased shares shall thereafter be available
for further Awards under the Plan except where such reissuance is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Subject to adjustments
as provided in Section 7.3 of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards of any combination that
may be granted during any calendar year to any one individual under this Plan shall be limited to 1,000,000 shares (subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof) and the method of counting such shares shall conform to performance based compensation
under Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

ARTICLE V

PARTICIPATION

 

Participation in the
Plan shall be open to all employees, officers and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company, as may be selected by the Committee from time to time, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law. The
Committee may also grant Awards to individuals in connection with hiring, retention or otherwise, prior to the date the individual
first performs services for the Company or an Affiliate, provided that such Awards shall not become vested or exercisable prior
to the date the individual first commences performance of such services.

 

ARTICLE VI

AWARDS

 

The Committee, in its
sole discretion, establishes the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan. Awards may be granted individually or in tandem with
other types of Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Grant Agreement. Subject to any applicable
requirements of Code Section 409A, the Committee may permit or require a recipient of an Award to defer such individual’s
receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such individual by virtue of the
exercise of, payment of, or lapse or waiver of restrictions respecting, any Award. If any such payment deferral is required or
permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals. The maximum
term for any Award shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of the grant of such Award, provided, however, in the case of
an Incentive Stock Option granted to an eligible participant who, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns (within
the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
or of any Affiliate, no such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date such Incentive
Stock Option is granted.

6.1Stock Options

 

(a)In General.
The Committee may from time to time grant to eligible participants Awards of Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock
Options; provided, however, that Awards of Incentive Stock Options shall be limited to employees of the Company or of any current
or hereafter existing “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation,” as defined in Sections 424(e) and
(f) of the Code, respectively, of the Company and any other individuals who are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under
the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and, provided further, that Awards of Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be limited to
persons providing services to the Company or any current or hereafter existing subsidiary corporation of the Company, as necessary
for the Company to be considered and “eligible issuer of service recipient stock” in accordance with the requirements
of Code Section 409A. All stock Options must have an exercise price at least equal to Fair Market Value as of the date of grant,
provided, however, that with respect to an eligible participant who, at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns (within
the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
or of any subsidiary, the exercise price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date
of grant. The exercise price of each Option shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.3 of the Plan. An Option to
the extent then exercisable may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Option period, by giving written notice
to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the exercise
price, in cash, by check or such other instrument as may be acceptable to the Committee. As determined by the Committee, in its
sole discretion, at or after grant, payment in full or in part may be made at the election of the participant (i) in the form of
Common Stock owned by the participant (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Option exercise date) that is
not the subject of any pledge or security interest, (ii) in the form of Common Stock withheld by the Company from the shares of
Common Stock otherwise to be received, with such withheld shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the Option exercise
date equal to the exercise price of the Option, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing, provided that the combined value of
all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any shares surrendered to the Company is at least equal to such exercise
price and except with respect to (ii) above, such method of payment will not cause a disqualifying disposition of all or a portion
of the Common Stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. A participant shall have the right to dividends and other
rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an Option after (i) the participant has
given written notice of exercise and has paid in full for such shares, (ii) becomes a stockholder of record with respect thereto,
and (iii) the participant has satisfied such conditions that may be imposed by the Company with respect to the withholding of taxes.

 

(b)Incentive Stock
Option. No stock Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless so designated by the Committee at the time of grant or in
the Grant Agreement evidencing such stock Option, and which otherwise meets the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The aggregate
Fair Market Value, determined as of the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted, of Common Stock for which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by any eligible participant during any calendar year under the Plan (and/or any other stock
option plans of the Company or any Affiliate) shall not exceed $100,000. A grant of an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan shall
provide that if the participant makes a disposition, within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code, of any share or shares of
Common Stock issued to him or her upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted within the two-year period commencing on the
day after the date of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option or within a one-year period commencing on the day after the date
of transfer of the share or shares to him or her pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option, he or she shall, within
ten (10) days after such disposition, notify the Company thereof.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

(c)Prohibition
on Option Repricing & Cancellation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, neither the Board nor the Committee
may reprice, replace or regrant any Option granted under the Plan, (i) through cancellation and replacement or regrant with lower
priced Options, (ii) through exchange, replacement, or buyouts of awarded Options with cash, or (iii) by lowering the Option exercise
price of a previously granted Option, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.

 

6.2Stock Appreciation
Rights

 

(a)In General.
The Committee may from time to time grant Awards of SARs to persons providing services to the Company or any current or hereafter
existing subsidiary corporation of the Company, as necessary for the Company to be considered an “eligible issuer of service
recipient stock” in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. An SAR entitles the grantee to receive, subject
to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (1) the excess
of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the
Grant Agreement, times (2) the number of shares specified by the SAR, or portion thereof, which is exercised. The base price per
share specified in the Grant Agreement shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the grant date. Payment
by the Company of the amount receivable upon any exercise of an SAR may be made by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any
combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. If upon settlement of the exercise
of an SAR a grantee is to receive a portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined
by dividing such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date. No fractional shares shall be
used for such payment and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether
such fractional shares shall be eliminated.

 

(b)Prohibition
on SAR Repricing & Cancellation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, neither the Board nor the Committee may
reprice, replace or regrant any SAR granted under the Plan, (i) through cancellation and replacement or regrant with lower priced
SARs, (ii) through exchange, replacement, or buyouts of awarded SARs with cash, or (iii) by lowering the SAR base price of a previously
granted SAR, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.

 

6.3Stock Awards

 

(a)In General.
The Committee may from time to time grant restricted or unrestricted Stock Awards to eligible participants in such amounts,
on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required
by law, as it shall determine.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(b)Stock Award
Terms. An eligible participant shall have no rights to an Award of stock unless and until the eligible participant accepts
the Award within the period prescribed by the Committee and, if the Committee shall deem desirable, makes payment to the Company
in cash, or by check or such other instrument as may be acceptable to the Committee. After acceptance and issuance of a certificate
or certificates, as provided for below, the eligible participant shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to a Stock
Award subject to any non-transferability and forfeiture restrictions described in the Plan and Grant Agreement. The Company shall
issue in the eligible participant’s name a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock associated with the
award promptly after the eligible participant accepts such Award. Unless otherwise provided, any certificate or certificates issued
evidencing shares of restricted stock shall not be delivered to the eligible participant until such shares are free of any restrictions
specified by the Committee at the time of grant. Shares of restricted stock are forfeitable until the terms of the restricted stock
grant have been satisfied. Shares of restricted stock are not transferable until the date on which the Committee has specified
such restrictions have lapsed. Unless otherwise provided in the Grant Agreement, (i) distributions in the form of stock dividends
in respect of shares of restricted stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as such shares of restricted stock, and (ii)
distributions in the form of cash dividends shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of restricted stock to which
they are attributable, shall be accumulate as an unfunded promise to pay on the books and records of the Company until vesting,
and shall be paid to the participant on the applicable vesting date.

 

6.4Restricted
Stock Units

 

A Restricted Stock
Unit award shall constitute a promise to grant shares of Common Stock (or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of
Common Stock) to the participant at the end of a specified restriction period. At the time a Restricted Stock Unit Award is made,
the Committee shall establish the restriction period applicable to such award. Each Restricted Stock Unit award may have a different
restriction period, in the discretion of the Committee. A Restricted Stock Unit shall not constitute an equity interest in the
Company and shall not entitle the participant to voting rights, dividends or any other rights associated with ownership of shares
of Common Stock prior to the time the Holder shall receive a distribution of shares of Common Stock.

 

At the time any Restricted
Stock Unit award is made, the Company and the participant shall enter into a Grant Agreement setting forth each of the matters
contemplated thereby and such other matters as the Committee may determine to be appropriate. The Grant Agreement shall set forth
the individual service-based vesting requirement which the participant would be required to satisfy before the participant would
become entitled to distribution pursuant to the following paragraph and the number of units awarded to the participant. Such conditions
shall be sufficient to constitute a “substantial risk of forfeiture” as such term is defined under Section 409A of
the Code. At the time of such award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe additional terms and conditions or restrictions
relating to Restricted Stock Unit awards in the Grant Agreement, including, but not limited to, rules pertaining to the effect
of termination of service prior to expiration of the applicable vesting period. The terms and conditions of the respective Grant
Agreements need not be identical.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

The participant of
a Restricted Stock Unit shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock,
or one share of Common Stock, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the Grant Agreement, for
each Restricted Stock Unit subject to such Restricted Stock Unit award, if the participant satisfies the applicable vesting requirement.
Such distribution shall be made no later than by the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month next following the
end of the calendar year in which the Restricted Stock Unit first becomes vested (i.e., no longer subject to a “substantial
risk of forfeiture”).

 

6.5Performance
Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Performance Awards which become vested or payable on account of attainment
of one or more performance goals during a specified period as established by the Committee. Performance Awards may be in the form
of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. The
Committee shall establish in writing, on a timely basis, (i) the performance goals that must be met, (ii) the threshold, target
and maximum amounts that may be paid, or in the case of an award of Common Stock, the number of shares that will vest, if the performance
goals are met, and (iii) any other conditions that the Committee deems appropriate and, in the case of executive officers where
the Award is intended to be “performance based” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), consistent with Section
162(m) of the Code. Performance goals established by the Committee shall be based on objectively determinable performance goals
selected by the Committee that apply to an individual or group of individuals, a business unit, or the Company or an Affiliate
as a whole, over such performance period as the Committee may designate. The target Awards for each individual will be based on
a number of factors, including: (i) market competitiveness of the position, (ii) job level, (iii) base salary level, (iv) past
individual performance, and (v) expected contribution to the Company’s future performance and business impact. For those
Awards intended to be “performance-based” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), the Committee shall also establish
for each participant who is an executive officer a maximum Award that may be paid for the calendar year, which will remain fixed
for the entire year. The maximum Performance Award that any participant may be granted in any calendar year under the Plan is $1,000,000,
comprised of the cash portion of the Award and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date of the grant of the Award.
For Awards intended to be “performance-based compensation,” the grant of the Performance Awards and the establishment
of the performance measures shall be made during the period required under Code Section 162(m).

 

The performance goals
shall be based on one or more of the following criteria: EBITDA, stock price, earnings per share, net earnings, operating or other
earnings, profits, revenues, net cash flow, financial return ratios, return on assets, stockholder return, return on equity, growth
in assets, market share or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue
goals, market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals or goals relating to acquisitions or strategic partnerships.
“EBITDA” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At any time prior to the final determination
of the Performance Awards, the Committee may adjust the performance goals and awards for participants who are not executive officers,
to reflect changes in corporate capitalization, changes in corporate transactions, the occurrence of any extraordinary event, any
change in accounting rules or principles, any change in the Company’s method of accounting, any change in applicable law,
or any other change of similar nature. With respect to executive officers where the award is intended to be “performance
based” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), such adjustments may be made to the extent the Committee deems appropriate
considering the requirements of Code Section 162(m). Upon completion of a performance period, the Committee shall determine whether
the performance goals have been met prior to paying or vesting any award for any year, the Committee must certify in writing (to
the extent required by any IRS regulation) that the performance goals were satisfied. Approved minutes of the Committee will be
treated as the required written certification. All cash amounts payable will be paid as soon as practicable after certification
by the Committee, but not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month next following the end of the calendar
year in which the award is earned.

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

6.6Other Stock-Based
Awards. The Committee may from time to time grant other stock-based awards to eligible participants in such amounts, on such
terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by
law, as it shall determine. Other stock-based awards may be denominated in cash, in Common Stock or other securities, in stock-equivalent
units, in stock appreciation units, in securities or debentures convertible into Common Stock, or in any combination of the foregoing
and may be paid in Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock or other securities and cash,
all as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and in accordance with all applicable laws.

 

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

 

7.1Withholding
of Taxes. Grantees and holders of Awards shall pay to the Company or any of its Affiliates, or make provision satisfactory
to the Committee for payment of, any taxes to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event
creating the tax liability. The Company or any of its Affiliates may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations
from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee or holder of an Award. In the event that payment to the Company or any
of its Affiliates of such tax obligations is made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on
the applicable date for such purposes.

 

7.2Transferability.
Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee or as otherwise may be required by law, no Award granted under the Plan shall be
transferable by a grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee
in accord with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee,
only by the grantee or, during the period the grantee is under a legal disability, by the grantee’s guardian or legal representative.
Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or to subject to execution, attachment or similar process, any
Award contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void and ineffective and shall give no right to the purported transferee.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

7.3Adjustments
for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.

 

(a)Stock Dividend,
Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. In the event of a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting,
the Common Stock, (A) the maximum number of shares of such Common Stock as to which Awards may be granted under this Plan, in the
aggregate and with respect to any type of Award, and the maximum number of shares with respect to which Awards may be granted during
any one calendar year to any individual, as provided in Article 4 of the Plan and (B) the number of shares covered by and the exercise
price and other terms of outstanding Awards, shall, without further action of the Board, be adjusted to reflect such event unless
the Board, in its sole discretion, determines, at the time it approves such stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split,
that no such adjustment shall be made with respect to any or all particular Awards. The Committee may make adjustments, in its
discretion, to address the treatment of fractional shares and fractional cents that arise with respect to outstanding Awards as
a result of the stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split. Additionally, the Committee will, to the extent feasible, make
other appropriate adjustments in order to ensure that Awards will not be deemed modified within the meaning of Section 424(h) of
the Code. The adjustments described above will be made in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) and Section 409A of the Code.

 

(b)Non-Change
in Control Transactions. Except with respect to the transactions set forth in Section 7.3 of the Plan, and subject to the limitations
of Sections 6.1(c) and 6.2(b), in the event of any change affecting the Common Stock, the Company or its capitalization, by reason
of a spin-off, split-up, dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or share exchange, other than any such change that is
part of a transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company, the Committee, in its discretion and without the consent
of the holders of the Awards, may make (A) appropriate adjustments to the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance
or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, in the aggregate, with respect to any type of Award, and with respect
to any individual during any one calendar year, as provided in Article 4 of the Plan; and (B) any adjustments in outstanding Awards,
including but not limited to modifying the number, kind and price of securities subject to Awards. Each participant’s proportionate
interest will be maintained as it was immediately before the occurrence of the abovementioned event. Additionally, the Committee
will, to the extent feasible, make other appropriate adjustments in order to ensure that Awards will not be deemed modified within
the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. The adjustments described above will be made in a manner consistent with Section 162(m)
and Section 409A of the Code.

 

(c)Change in Control
Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of outstanding
Awards, in whole or in part, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. In its sole discretion, the Committee may also
determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall terminate within a specified number of
days after notice to the participant thereunder, and in the case of an Option and other Awards that are payable in or convertible
into Common Stock, each such participant shall receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Option or other
Awards that are payable in or convertible into Common Stock, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares
immediately prior to such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option or other Awards that are payable in
or convertible into Common Stock; such amount shall be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property,
if any, payable in the transaction) or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion and in compliance
with Code Section 409A and other applicable laws.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(d)Unusual or
Nonrecurring Events. The Committee is authorized to make, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, and
subject to the limitations of Sections 6.1(c) and 6.2(b) of the Plan, adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria
included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the
Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines
that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended
to be made available under the Plan.

 

7.4Substitution
of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions. Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for awards held
by employees, officers, consultants or directors of entities who become or are about to become employees, officers, consultants
or directors of the Company or any of its Affiliates as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity with the
Company or any of its Affiliates, or the acquisition by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the assets or stock of the employing
entity. The terms and conditions of any substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein to
the extent that the Committee deems appropriate at the time of grant to conform the substitute Awards to the provisions of the
awards for which they are substituted.

 

7.5Termination,
Amendment and Modification of the Plan. The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, except that no amendment shall
be made that would impair the rights of any participant under any Award theretofore granted without the participant’s consent,
and except that no amendment shall be made which, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, would:

 

(a)materially increase
the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan, except as is provided in Section 7.3 of the Plan;

 

(b)materially increase
the benefits accruing to the participants under the Plan;

 

(c)materially modify
the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan;

 

(d)decrease the exercise
price of an Option to less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant thereof; or

 

(e)extend the term
of any Option beyond the period specified in Section 6.1 of the Plan.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

(f)The Committee
may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights
of any participant without the participant’s consent.

 

7.6Compliance
with Code Section 409A. It is the intention of the Board that the Plan comply strictly with the provisions of Code Section
409A to the extent feasible and the Committee shall exercise its discretion in granting Awards hereunder (and the terms of such
Award grants), accordingly. The Plan and any grant of an Award hereunder may be amended from time to time without the consent of
the participant as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the Code Section 409A. While it is the intent of the Board that
the provisions of the Plan and any Grant Agreement be interpreted to comply in all respects with Code Section 409A, the Company
shall have no liability to the participant, or any other party, in the event taxes, penalties, interest or excise taxes are ultimately
determined to be applicable to any payment or Award received by a participant or any successor or beneficiary thereof, nor for
reporting in good faith any payment or Award as subject to Code Section 409A.

 

7.7Non-Guarantee
of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual
to continue in the service of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such service
at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such termination results in (1) the failure of any Award to vest;
(2) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any Award; and/or (3) any other adverse effect on the individual’s
interests under the Plan.

 

7.8Special Rules
for Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

(a)Termination
by Death. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any participant’s employment with or service to the Company
or any Affiliate terminates by reason of death, any Option or SAR held by such participant may thereafter be exercised, to the
extent then exercisable (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), by the legal representative
of the estate or by the legatee of the participant under the will of the participant, for a period of twelve (12) months after
the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option or SAR as provided under the Plan, whichever period
is shorter.

 

(b)Termination
by Reason of Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any participant’s employment with or service
to the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of total and permanent disability (the failure to perform such person’s
duties to the Company for at least ninety (90) days, whether or not consecutive, within any twelve (12) consecutive month period
as a result of any incapacity due to physical or mental illness, a “Disability”), any Option or SAR held by such participant
may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination due to Disability (or on such accelerated
basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), but may not be exercised after twelve (12) months after the date of
such termination of employment or service or the expiration of the stated term of such Option or SAR, whichever period is shorter.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

(c)Termination
by Reason of Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any participant’s employment with or service
to the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of Normal or Early Retirement (as such terms are defined below), any Option
or SAR held by such participant may thereafter be exercised to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Normal or Early
Retirement (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), for a period of ninety (90) days
after the date of such termination of employment or service or until the expiration of the stated term of such Award, whichever
period is shorter; provided, however, that, (i) a vested Non-Qualified Stock Option or SAR may be exercised for the lesser of nine
(9) months after the date of termination or the balance of such Option’s term, and (ii) if the participant dies within the
applicable exercise period, any unexercised Option or SAR held by such participant shall be exercisable to the extent to which
it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year after the date of such death or for the stated term of such Option
or SAR, whichever period is shorter.

 

For purposes of this
paragraph (c), “Normal Retirement” shall mean retirement from active employment with the Company or any Affiliate on
or after the normal retirement date specified in the applicable Company or Affiliate pension plan or if no such pension plan exists
or applies, age sixty-five (65), and “Early Retirement” shall mean retirement from active employment with the Company
or any Affiliate under the early retirement provisions of the applicable Company or Affiliate pension plan or if no such pension
plan exists or applies, age fifty-five (55).

 

(d)Other Termination.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or except as otherwise provided herein, should any participant’s employment
with or service to the Company or any Affiliate terminate for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal or Early Retirement,
the Award shall thereupon terminate, except that the portion of any Award that was exercisable on the date of such termination
of employment or service may be exercised for the lesser of ninety (90) days after the date of termination or the balance of such
Award’s term if the participant’s employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate is terminated by the Company
or such Affiliate without cause (the determination as to whether termination was for cause to be made by the Committee). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, should any participant’s employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate terminate for any reason
without cause (the determination as to whether termination was for cause to be made by the Committee), such participant’s
Non-Qualified Stock Options or SARs shall thereupon terminate, except that the portion of any such Non-Qualified Stock Options
or SARs that were exercisable on the date of such termination of employment or service may be exercised for the lesser of nine
(9) months after the date of termination or the balance of such Option’s term. For the avoidance of doubt, upon termination
of employment or service to the Company or any Affiliate for cause (the determination as to whether termination was for cause to
be made by the Committee), a participant’s Award shall terminate and such participant shall have no right to exercise or
receive any unvested portion of any Award. The transfer of a participant from the employ of or service to the Company to the employ
of or service to an Affiliate, or vice versa, or from one Affiliate to another, shall not be deemed to constitute a termination
of employment or service for purposes of the Plan.

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

7.9No Trust
or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind
or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a grantee or any other person. To the extent that any grantee or other person
acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

7.10Public Offering.
As a condition of participation in this Plan, each participant shall be obligated to cooperate with the Company and the underwriters
in connection with any public offering of the Company’s securities and any transactions relating to a public offering, and
shall execute and deliver any agreements and documents, including without limitation, a lock-up agreement, that may be requested
by the Company or the underwriters. The participant’s obligations under this Section 7.11 shall apply to any Common Stock
issued under the Plan as well as to any and all other securities of the Company or its successor for which Common Stock may be
exchanged or into which Common Stock may be converted.

 

7.11Governing
Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules,
regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Committee relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of
any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest herein or hereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance
with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

 

7.12Effective
Date; Term of Plan. The Plan is hereby adopted by the Board effective March 2, 2015, (the “Effective Date”)
subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months thereof. Awards issued under the Plan prior to
and on or after the Effective Date shall be governed by the terms of this Plan and the applicable Grant Agreement and shall be
included in the shares available for issuance under Article 4 of the Plan. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards made under the Plan prior to
such termination of the Plan shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the
Plan and the terms of such Awards.

 

7.13Compliance
with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration. If at any time the Committee determines that the delivery of Common Stock under
the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or federal, state or foreign securities laws, the
right to exercise an Award or receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Committee determines
that such delivery is lawful. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Stock
under federal, state or foreign laws. Awards under the Plan are intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
Act. If any provision of this Plan or any grant of an Award would otherwise conflict with this intent, that provision will be interpreted
and deemed amended so as to avoid conflict. Unless the Company has registered the Common Stock covered by the Plan under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Company has determined that registering
the Common Stock covered by the Plan under the Securities Act is unnecessary, the Company may require that each participant represent
in writing that he is acquiring the shares of Common Stock covered by the Plan for his own account and investment purposes, and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Plan. No participant
will be entitled to a grant, exercise, transfer or payment of any Award if the grant, exercise, transfer or payment would violate
the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any other applicable law.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

7.14No Lien
or Security Interest. No Award and no right under any such Award, may be pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered other than
in favor of the Company, and any purported pledge, attachment, or encumbrance thereof other than in favor of the Company shall
be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

 

7.15Severability.
If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, or as to any Person or Award,
or would disqualify the Plan or any Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or,
if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of
the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such
Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

7.16Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee
shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares,
or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

 

7.17Share Certificates.
All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations
and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such shares are then listed, and
any applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates
to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. To the extent that the Committee provides for the issuance of Common Stock
or restricted stock awards, the issuance may be affected on a non-certificated basis, subject to applicable law or the applicable
rules of any applicable stock exchange.

 

7.18Treatment
for Other Compensation Purposes. Payments and other benefits received by a participant pursuant to an Award shall not be deemed
part of a participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of any termination, indemnity or severance pay laws
and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan, contract
or similar arrangement provided by the Company, unless expressly so provided by such other plan, contract or arrangement.

 

7.19Code Section
83(b) Elections. The Company, its Affiliates and the Committee have no responsibility for any participant’s election,
attempt to elect or failure to elect to include the value of a restricted Stock Award or other Award subject to Section 83 of the
Code in the participant’s gross income for the year of payment pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. Any participant who
makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code will promptly provide the Committee with a copy of the election form.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

7.20No Obligation
to Exercise Awards; No Right to Notice of Expiration Date. The grant of an Award of a stock Option or SAR will impose no obligation
upon the participant to exercise the Award. The Company, its Affiliates and the Committee have no obligation to inform a participant
of the date on which any Award lapses except in the Grant Agreement.

 

7.21Right to
Offset. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Company may offset any amounts to be paid to a participant
(or, in the event of the participant’s death, to his beneficiary or estate) under the Plan against any amounts that such
participant may owe to the Company, to the extent permitted by law and compliant with Code Section 409A.

 

7.22Furnishing
Information. A participant will cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee
and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits
hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.

 

7.23Construction.
Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein will also include the feminine; the plural
will include the singular and the singular will include the plural.
