the Restricted Stock or any or all the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement such alternative consideration (including cash),
if any, as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender
of all awards so replaced.

additional tax, interest and any tax penalty which may be imposed under Section 409A of the Code. In furtherance of this
interest, to the extent that any provision hereof would result in the Grantee being subject to payment of the additional tax, interest
and tax penalty under Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree to amend this Agreement in order to bring this Agreement into
compliance with Section 409A of the Code; and thereafter interpret its provisions in a manner that complies with Section 409A of

of Section 409A of the Code. Reference to Section 409A of the Code is to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance promulgated with respect to
such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular
tax result for the Grantee with respect to any income recognized by the Grantee in connection with this Agreement is guaranteed,
and the Grantee will be responsible for any taxes, penalties and interest imposed on the Grantee under or as a result of Section
409A of the Code in connection with this Agreement.

 

20.          Acknowledgement.
The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee (a) has received a copy of the Plan, (b) has had an opportunity to review the terms
of this Agreement and the Plan, (c) understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan and (d) agrees to such
terms and conditions.

 

21.          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together
will constitute one and the same agreement.

the foregoing. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event or in the event of a Change of Control, the Board, in its
discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement such alternative consideration
(including cash), if any, as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection
therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced.

 

12.         Compliance
with Law.  The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided,

any of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Agreement if the issuance thereof would result in violation of any such law.

the Grantee’s written consent, and (b) the Grantee’s consent will not be required to an amendment that is deemed necessary
by the Company to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Code or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection

20.         Compliance
with Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement and
the Plan and the Company’s and the Grantee’s exercise of authority or discretion hereunder comply with the provisions
of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject the Grantee to the payment of the

subject to payment of the additional tax, interest
and tax penalty under Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree to amend this Agreement in order to bring this Agreement into
compliance with Section 409A of the Code; and thereafter interpret its provisions in a manner that complies with Section 409A of

of Section 409A of the Code. Reference to Section 409A of the Code is to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance promulgated with respect to
such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular
tax result for the Grantee with respect to any income recognized by the Grantee in connection with this Agreement is guaranteed,
and the Grantee will be responsible for any taxes, penalties and interest imposed on the Grantee under or as a result of Section
409A of the Code in connection with this Agreement.
