AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”), dated as of February 19, 2010, is by and between Neogenix Oncology,
Inc. (the “Company”) and Peter Gordon (“you”). 
 WHEREAS, you and the Company entered into an Employment
Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), dated as of May 5, 2009; and 
 WHEREAS, you and the Company now desire
to amend certain terms of the Employment Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, you and the Company agree as follows: 
 AGREEMENT 

 

	1.	Amendment to Section 3(a). The first sentence of Section 3(a) of the Employment Agreement is hereby replaced by the following:

 “The Company will pay you a base salary at the annual rate of four hundred fifty thousand dollars
($450,000)(the “Base Salary”). 
  

	2.	Amendment to Section 3(b): Section 3(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby replaced with the following: 

“Performance Bonus. If you achieve performance targets as established by the Company on an annual basis, at the discretion of
the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, you shall be eligible for a performance bonus of up to fifty percent (50%) of your Base Salary for each calendar year (the “Performance Bonus”). Any Performance
Bonus shall be paid on a quarterly basis in equal amounts not to exceed twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of your Base Salary, with each payment to be made by no later than thirty (30) days following the end of the quarter in which it is
earned.” 
  

	3.	Amendment to Section 4(d): Section 4(d) of the Employment Agreement is hereby replaced with the following: 

 

	(d)	Termination Without Cause or Due to Non-Renewal by the Company, or for Good Reason by You. If your employment hereunder is terminated either by the Company without
Cause or by you for a Good Reason, the Company will pay the Accrued Obligations to you promptly following such termination and subject to your execution in a form satisfactory to the Company (and submitted so as to be effective no later than seventy
(70) days following such termination) of a general release of claims against the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates: 

 

	 	(i)	The Company will pay you an amount equal to the greater of the Base Salary at the rate in effect at such termination in accordance with Section 3(a) of this
Agreement for a twelve (12) period or the period remaining prior to April 30, 2012, with such amount payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule over the course of such period. 

	 	(ii)	The Company will continue to provide you with health insurance for so long as it is obligated to continue payments equal to the Base Salary pursuant to
Section 4(d)(ii) above if you make an effective COBRA election, and provided if the duration of the base salary payments exceeds eighteen (18) months, the Company will make monthly payments in lieu of paying such premiums for the remainder
of the applicable period, subject to applicable law and the terms of the respective policies. 

No payment or benefit shall be provided under (i) or (ii) above before such
70th day following such termination, and you shall forfeit
all rights to such payments and benefits unless the Company property described in Section 8 below is returned and such release is signed and delivered (and any right to revoke has expired) before such
70th day. The first payment shall include payment of all
amounts that otherwise would have been due earlier under the terms of this Agreement had such payments commenced immediately upon such termination, and any payments made thereafter shall continue as provided above. 

 

	4.	Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two (2) counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. 

  

	5.	Effectiveness of Amendment. This Amendment shall be effective, and shall become a part of the Employment Agreement, as of the date first written above upon
execution of counterparts to this Amendment by you and the Company. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained
in the Employment Agreement, all of which shall continue in full force and effect. 

	6.	Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto. The Employment Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supercedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. If any provision
hereof or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder hereof and any other application of such provision shall not be affected thereby. To the extent there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the
terms of the May 5, 2009 Employment Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall govern. 

 IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.

 2 

	2.	PURPOSES OF THE PLAN. 

The Plan is intended to encourage ownership of Shares by Employees and directors of and certain consultants to the Company in order to
attract such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company or of an Affiliate and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the Company or of an Affiliate. The Plan provides for the granting of ISOs and
Non-Qualified Options. 
  

	3.	SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. 

The number of Shares which may be issued from time to time pursuant to this Plan shall be nine million (9,000,000), or the equivalent of
such number of Shares after the Administrator, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect of any stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction in accordance with Paragraph 16 of the Plan. 

If an Option ceases to be “outstanding”, in whole or in part, the Shares which were subject to such Option shall be available
for the granting of other Options under the Plan. Any Option shall be treated as “outstanding” until such Option is exercised in full, or terminates or expires under the provisions of the Plan, or by agreement of the parties to the
pertinent Option Agreement. 
  

	4.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. 

The Administrator of the Plan will be the Board of Directors, except to the extent the Board of Directors delegates its authority to the
Committee, in which case the Committee shall be the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to: 
  

	 	a.	Interpret the provisions of the Plan or of any Option or Option Agreement and to make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan; 

  

	 	b.	Determine which Employees, directors and consultants shall be granted Options; 

 

	 	c.	Determine the number of Shares for which an Option or Options shall be granted; 

 

	 	d.	Specify the terms and conditions upon which an Option or Options may be granted; and 

 

	 	e.	Adopt any sub-plans applicable to residents of any specified jurisdiction as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with or take advantage of any tax laws
applicable to the Company or to Plan Participants or to otherwise facilitate the administration of the Plan, which sub-plans may include additional restrictions or conditions applicable to Options or Shares acquired upon exercise of Options.

  

 3 

 provided, however, that all such interpretations, rules, determinations, terms and conditions shall be made
and prescribed in the context of preserving the tax status under Section 422 of the Code of those Options which are designated as ISOs. Subject to the foregoing, the interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any provisions of the
Plan or of any Option granted under it shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the Administrator is the Committee. In addition, if the Administrator is the Committee, the Board of Directors may take any action under
the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee. 
 If permissible under applicable law, the Board of
Directors or the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any other person selected by it. Any such
allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Board of Directors or the Committee at any time. 
  

	5.	ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION. 

The Administrator will, in its sole discretion, name the Participants in the Plan, provided, however, that each Participant must be an
Employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate at the time an Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may authorize the grant of an Option to a person not then an Employee, director or consultant of
the Company or of an Affiliate; provided, however, that the actual grant of such Option shall be conditioned upon such person becoming eligible to become a Participant at or prior to the time of the execution of the Option Agreement evidencing such
Option. ISOs may be granted only to Employees. Non-Qualified Options may be granted to any Employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. The granting of any Option to any individual shall neither entitle that individual to, nor
disqualify him or her from, participation in any other grant of Options. 
  

	6.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. 

Each Option shall be set forth in writing in an Option Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or
requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Administrator may provide that Options be granted subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the terms and conditions specifically required under this Plan, as the Administrator may deem
appropriate including, without limitation, subsequent approval by the shareholders of the Company of this Plan or any amendments thereto. The Option Agreements shall be subject to at least the following terms and conditions: 

 

	 	A.	Non-Qualified Options: Each Option intended to be a Non-Qualified Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be
appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards for any such Non-Qualified Option: 

  

	 	a.	Option Price: Each Option Agreement shall state the option price (per share) of the Shares covered by each Option, which option price shall be determined by the
Administrator but shall not be less than the par value per share of Common Stock; 

  

 4 

	 	b.	Each Option Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains; 

 

	 	c.	Each Option Agreement shall state the date or dates on which it first is exercisable and the date after which it may no longer be exercised, and may provide that the
Option rights accrue or become exercisable in installments over a period of months or years, or upon the occurrence of certain conditions or the attainment of stated goals or events; and 

 

	 	d.	Exercise of any Option may be conditioned upon the Participant’s execution of a Share purchase agreement in form satisfactory to the Administrator providing for
certain protections for the Company and its other shareholders, including requirements that: 

  

	 	i.	The Participant’s or the Participant’s Survivors’ right to sell or transfer the Shares may be restricted; and 

 

	 	ii.	The Participant or the Participant’s Survivors may be required to execute letters of investment intent and must also acknowledge that the Shares will bear legends
noting any applicable restrictions. 

  

	 	B.	ISOs: Each Option intended to be an ISO shall be issued only to an Employee and be subject to the following terms and conditions, with such additional
restrictions or changes as the Administrator determines are appropriate but not in conflict with Section 422 of the Code and relevant regulations and rulings of the Internal Revenue Service: 

 

	 	a.	Minimum standards: The ISO shall meet the minimum standards required of Non-Qualified Options, as described in Paragraph 6(A) above, except clause (a) thereunder.

  

	 	b.	Option Price: Immediately before the ISO is granted, if the Participant owns, directly or by reason of the applicable attribution rules in Section 424(d) of the
Code: 

  

	 	i.	10% or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares covered by each
ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Shares on the date of the grant of the Option; or 

  

 5 

	 	ii.	More than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares covered by each ISO
shall not be less than 110% of the said Fair Market Value on the date of grant. 

  

	 	c.	Term of Option: For Participants who own: 

  

	 	i.	10% or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, each ISO shall terminate not more than ten years from the
date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide; or 

  

	 	ii.	More than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, each ISO shall terminate not more than five years from the date
of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide. 

  

	 	d.	Limitation on Yearly Exercise: The Option Agreements shall restrict the amount of ISOs which may become exercisable in any calendar year (under this or any other ISO
plan of the Company or an Affiliate) so that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time each ISO is granted) of the stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar year does not
exceed $100,000. 

  

	7.	EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND ISSUE OF SHARES. 

An Option (or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company or its designee, together with
provision for payment of the full purchase price in accordance with this Paragraph for the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, and upon compliance with any other condition(s) set forth in the Option Agreement. Such notice shall be
signed by the person exercising the Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall contain any representation required by the Plan or the Option Agreement. Payment of the purchase price for the
Shares as to which such Option is being exercised shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as
of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option and held for at least six months, or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of the grantee’s personal note, for full, partial or no recourse, bearing
interest payable not less than annually at market rate on the date of exercise and at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, with or without the pledge of such Shares as collateral, or
(d) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with a cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm, and approved by the Administrator, or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination
of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall accept only such payment on exercise of an ISO as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code. 

 

 6 

 The Company shall then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Option was
exercised to the Participant (or to the Participant’s Survivors, as the case may be). In determining what constitutes “reasonably promptly,” it is expressly understood that the issuance and delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the
Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws) which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance. The Shares shall,
upon delivery, be fully paid, non-assessable Shares. 
 The Administrator shall have the right to accelerate the date of
exercise of any installment of any Option; provided that the Administrator shall not accelerate the exercise date of any installment of any Option granted to any Employee as an ISO (and not previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant
to Paragraph 19) if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Paragraph 6.B.d. 

The Administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding Option provided (i) such term or condition
as amended is permitted by the Plan, (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the Participant to whom the Option was granted, or in the event of the death of the Participant, the Participant’s Survivors, if the
amendment is adverse to the Participant, and (iii) any such amendment of any ISO shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such amendment would constitute a “modification” of any Option which is an ISO (as that
term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holder of such ISO. 
  

	8.	RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. 

No Participant to whom an Option has been granted shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Option,
except after due exercise of the Option and tender of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise and registration of the Shares in the Company’s share register in the name of the Participant. 

 

	9.	ASSIGNABILITY AND TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. 

By its terms, an Option granted to a Participant shall not be transferable by the Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, or (ii) as approved by the Administrator in its discretion and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an ISO transferred except in compliance with clause (i) above shall no
longer qualify as an ISO. The designation of a beneficiary of an Option by a Participant, with the prior approval of the Administrator and in such form as the Administrator shall prescribe, shall not be deemed a transfer prohibited by this
Paragraph. Except as provided above, an Option shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by such Participant 

 

 7 

 
(or by his or her legal representative) and shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment
or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of any Option or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an
Option, shall be null and void. 
  

	10.	EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN “FOR CAUSE” OR DEATH OR DISABILITY. 

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee,
director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate before the Participant has exercised an Option, the following rules apply: 
  

	 	a.	A Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any reason other than termination “for cause”,
Disability, or death for which events there are special rules in Paragraphs 11, 12, and 13, respectively), may exercise any Option granted to him or her to the extent that the Option is exercisable on the date of such termination of service, but
only within such term as the Administrator has designated in a Participant’s Option Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	Except as provided in Subparagraph (c) below, or Paragraph 12 or 13, in no event may an Option intended to be an ISO, be exercised later than three months after
the Participant’s termination of employment. 

  

	 	c.	The provisions of this Paragraph, and not the provisions of Paragraph 12 or 13, shall apply to a Participant who subsequently becomes Disabled or dies after the
termination of employment, director status or consultancy, provided, however, in the case of a Participant’s Disability or death within three months after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy, the Participant or the
Participant’s Survivors may exercise the Option within one year after the date of the Participant’s termination of service, but in no event after the date of expiration of the term of the Option. 

 

	 	d.	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to a Participant’s termination of employment, termination of director status or termination of
consultancy, but prior to the exercise of an Option, the Board of Directors determines that, either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute “cause”, then such
Participant shall forthwith cease to have any right to exercise any Option. 

  

	 	e.	 A Participant to whom an Option has been granted under the Plan who is absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary
disability (any disability other than a permanent and total Disability as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence

  

 8 

	 	
alone, to have terminated such Participant’s employment, director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide.

  

	 	f.	Except as required by law or as set forth in a Participant’s Option Agreement, Options granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of a
Participant’s status within or among the Company and any Affiliates, so long as the Participant continues to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate. 

 

	11.	EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE “FOR CAUSE”. 

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant’s service
(whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated “for cause” prior to the time that all his or her outstanding Options have been exercised: 

 

	 	a.	All outstanding and unexercised Options as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated “for cause” will immediately be forfeited.

  

	 	b.	For purposes of this Plan, “cause” shall include (and is not limited to) dishonesty with respect to the Company or any Affiliate, insubordination, substantial
malfeasance or non-feasance of duty, unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or similar agreement between the Participant
and the Company or any Affiliate, and conduct substantially prejudicial to the business of the Company or any Affiliate. The determination of the Administrator as to the existence of “cause” will be conclusive on the Participant and the
Company. 

  

	 	c.	“Cause” is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Administrator’s
finding of “cause” occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant’s termination of service but prior to the exercise of an Option, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s
termination the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute “cause,” then the right to exercise any Option is forfeited. 

  

	 	d.	Any definition in an agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, which contains a conflicting definition of “cause” for termination and
which is in effect at the time of such termination, shall supersede the definition in this Plan with respect to that Participant. 

  

 9 

	12.	EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY. 

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, a Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant
of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability may exercise any Option granted to such Participant: 
  

	 	a.	To the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised on the date of Disability; and 

 

	 	b.	In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion through the date of Disability of any additional vesting rights that
would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the date of Disability. 

A Disabled Participant may exercise such rights only within the period ending one year after the date of the Participant’s
termination of employment, directorship or consultancy, as the case may be, notwithstanding that the Participant might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if the Participant had not become Disabled
and had continued to be an employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option. 

The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure
for such determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure shall be used for such determination). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or
approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company. 
  

	13.	EFFECT OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT. 

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, in the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is
an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate, such Option may be exercised by the Participant’s Survivors: 
  

	 	a.	To the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised on the date of death; and 

 

	 	b.	In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion through the date of death of any additional vesting rights that
would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the Participant’s date of death. 

If the Participant’s Survivors wish to exercise the Option, they must take all necessary steps to exercise the Option within one
year after the date of death of such Participant, 
  

 10 

 
notwithstanding that the decedent might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if he or she had not died and had continued to be an employee,
director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option. 
  

	14.	PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT. 

Unless the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise of an Option shall have been effectively registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter amended (the “1933 Act”), the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the following conditions have been fulfilled:

  

	 	a.	The person(s) who exercise(s) such Option shall warrant to the Company, prior to the receipt of such Shares, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own
respective accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall
be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing their Shares issued pursuant to such exercise or such grant: 

“The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any
person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.” 

 

	 	b.	At the discretion of the Administrator, the Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise in
compliance with the 1933 Act without registration thereunder. 

  

	15.	DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY. 

Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options granted under this Plan which as of such date shall not have been
exercised will terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of a Participant or a Participant’s Survivors have not otherwise terminated and expired, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors will have the
right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise any Option to the extent that the Option is exercisable as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation. 

 

 11 

	16.	ADJUSTMENTS. 

 Upon the
occurrence of any of the following events, a Participant’s rights with respect to any Option granted to him or her hereunder which has not previously been exercised in full shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise
specifically provided in the Participant’s Option Agreement: 
 A. Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the
shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, or (ii) additional shares or new or
different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of such Option may be appropriately
increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments may be made including, in the purchase price per share, to reflect such events. 

B. Corporate Transactions. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets other than a transaction to merely change the state of incorporation (a “Corporate Transaction”), the Administrator or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the
Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall, as to outstanding Options, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Options
either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide
that all Options must be exercised (either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the Administrator or, upon a change of control of the Company, all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph), within a
specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Options shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to
such Options (either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the Administrator, all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph) over the exercise price thereof. 

C. Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company other than a Corporate
Transaction pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Participant upon exercising an Option after the recapitalization or reorganization shall be
entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such exercise the number of replacement securities which would have been received if such Option had been exercised prior to such recapitalization or reorganization. 

D. Modification of ISOs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Subparagraph A, B or C above with respect
to ISOs shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such adjustments would constitute a “modification” of such ISOs (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences
for the holders of such ISOs. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments made with respect to ISOs would constitute a modification of such ISOs, it may 

 

 12 

 
refrain from making such adjustments, unless the holder of an ISO specifically requests in writing that such adjustment be made and such writing indicates that the holder has full knowledge of
the consequences of such “modification” on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the ISO. 
  

	17.	ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES. 

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of
stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Options. Except as expressly provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in
property (including without limitation, securities) of the Company. 
  

	18.	FRACTIONAL SHARES. 

 No
fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and the person exercising such right shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares equal to the Fair Market Value thereof. 

 

	19.	CONVERSION OF ISOs INTO NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS; TERMINATION OF ISOs. 

The Administrator, at the written request of any Participant, may in its discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such
Participant’s ISOs (or any portions thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the Participant is an employee of the Company
or an Affiliate at the time of such conversion. At the time of such conversion, the Administrator (with the consent of the Participant) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified Options as the Administrator in its
discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to have such Participant’s ISOs converted into Non-Qualified Options, and no
such conversion shall occur until and unless the Administrator takes appropriate action. The Administrator, with the consent of the Participant, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been exercised at the time of such conversion.

  

	20.	WITHHOLDING. 

 In the
event that any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“F.I.C.A.”) withholdings or other amounts are required by applicable law or governmental regulation to be withheld from the
Participant’s salary, wages or other remuneration in connection with the exercise of an Option or a Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in Paragraph 21), the Company may withhold from the Participant’s compensation, if

  

 13 

 
any, or may require that the Participant advance in cash to the Company, or to any Affiliate of the Company which employs or employed the Participant, the statutory minimum amount of such
withholdings unless a different withholding arrangement, including the use of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a promissory note, is authorized by the Administrator (and permitted by law). For purposes hereof, the fair market value of
the shares withheld for purposes of payroll withholding shall be determined in the manner provided in Paragraph 1 above, as of the most recent practicable date prior to the date of exercise. If the fair market value of the shares withheld is less
than the amount of payroll withholdings required, the Participant may be required to advance the difference in cash to the Company or the Affiliate employer. The Administrator in its discretion may condition the exercise of an Option for less than
the then Fair Market Value on the Participant’s payment of such additional withholding. 
  

	21.	NOTICE TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION. 

Each Employee who receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying
Disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. A Disqualifying Disposition is defined in Section 424(c) of the Code and includes any disposition (including any sale or gift) of such shares before the later of
(a) two years after the date the Employee was granted the ISO, or (b) one year after the date the Employee acquired Shares by exercising the ISO, except as otherwise provided in Section 424(c) of the Code. If the Employee has died
before such stock is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter. 
  

	22.	TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. 

The Plan will terminate on 10 years after adoption, the date which is ten years from the earlier of the date of its adoption by the
Board of Directors and the date of its approval by the shareholders. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the shareholders or the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not
affect any Option Agreements executed prior to the effective date of such termination. 
  

	23.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AGREEMENTS. 

The Plan may be amended by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may also be amended by the Administrator, including, without
limitation, to the extent necessary to qualify any or all outstanding Options granted under the Plan or Options to be granted under the Plan for favorable federal income tax treatment (including deferral of taxation upon exercise) as may be afforded
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, and to the extent necessary to qualify the shares issuable upon exercise of any outstanding Options granted, or Options to be granted, under the Plan for listing on any national securities
exchange or quotation in any national automated quotation system of securities dealers. Any amendment approved by the Administrator which the Administrator determines is of a scope that requires shareholder approval shall be subject to obtaining
such shareholder approval. Any modification or 
  

 14 

 
amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect his or her rights under an Option previously granted to him or her. With the consent of the Participant
affected, the Administrator may amend outstanding Option Agreements in a manner which may be adverse to the Participant but which is not inconsistent with the Plan. In the discretion of the Administrator, outstanding Option Agreements may be amended
by the Administrator in a manner which is not adverse to the Participant. 
  

	24.	EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP. 

Nothing in this Plan or any Option Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Company or an Affiliate from terminating the employment,
consultancy or director status of a Participant, nor to prevent a Participant from terminating his or her own employment, consultancy or director status or to give any Participant a right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company
or any Affiliate for any period of time. 
  

	25.	GOVERNING LAW. 

 This Plan
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of Maryland.
