thereto continuing to represent (by being converted into voting securities of the continuing or surviving entity) 50% or more of the

and which would result in the members of the Board immediately prior to such consolidation or merger (including, for this purpose,

    2

     

    

 

Further, if a Change in Control
constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award which provides for the deferral of compensation and is subject to Section 409A of
the Code, in order to make payment upon such Change in Control, the transaction or event described above with respect to such Award must
also constitute a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership
of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (or any
successor provision), and if it does not, payment of such Award will be made pursuant to the Award’s original payment schedule or,
if earlier, upon the death of the Participant, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

 

2.7 “Code”
means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time. Any reference to a section of the Code shall be
deemed to include a reference to any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

2.8 “Committee”
means the committee of one or more members of the Board appointed or described in Article 11 to administer the Plan.

 

2.9 “Common
Stock” means the Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company, or such other securities of the Company
as may be designated by the Committee from time to time in substitution thereof.

 

2.10 “Consultant”
means any consultant or adviser if: (a) the consultant or advisor renders bona fide services to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;
(b) the services rendered by the consultant or advisor are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities; and (c) the consultant
or advisor is a natural person.

 

2.11 “Continuous
Service” means that the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as an Employee, Consultant or
Director, is not interrupted or terminated. The Participant’s Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because
of a change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee, Consultant or Director
or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the
Participant’s Continuous Service; provided further that if any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, this sentence shall
only be given effect to the extent consistent with Section 409A of the Code. For example, a change in status from an Employee of the Company
to a Director of an Affiliate will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. The Committee or its delegate, in its sole discretion,
may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including
sick leave, military leave or any other personal or family leave of absence. The Committee or its delegate, in its sole discretion, may
determine whether a Company transaction, such as a sale or spin-off of a division or subsidiary that employs a Participant, shall be deemed
to result in a termination of Continuous Service for purposes of affected Awards, and such decision shall be final, conclusive and binding.

 

    3

     

    

 

2.12
“Director” means a member of the Board.

 

2.13 “Disability”
means, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, that the Participant would qualify to receive benefit payments under the long-term
disability policy, as it may be amended from time to time, of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to which the Participant provides
services regardless of whether the Participant is covered by such policy. If the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to which the Participant
provides service does not have a long-term disability plan in place, “Disability” means that a Participant is unable to carry
out the responsibilities and functions of the position held by the Participant by reason of any medically determined physical or mental
impairment for a period of not less than ninety (90) consecutive days. A Participant shall not be considered to have incurred a Disability
unless he or she furnishes proof of such impairment sufficient to satisfy the Board (or its delegate) in its discretion. The determination
of whether an individual has a Disability shall be determined under procedures established by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for purposes of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan, “Disability” means that the Participant is permanently and
totally disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, and for purposes of an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the
Code, shall mean a “Disability” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary to comply with Section
409A of the Code.

 

2.14 “Dividend
Equivalent” means a right granted to a Participant related to the Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance
Shares and/or Performance Stock Units which is a right to accrue the equivalent value of dividends paid on the Shares prior to vesting
of the Award (or prior to payment of an Award that is subject to deferred settlement). Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to
cash or additional Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares, by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may
be determined by the Committee, provided, however, that in no event shall Dividend Equivalents be paid on any Award that
is not vested or that does not become vested in accordance with its terms.

 

2.15 “Effective
Date” means the date on which the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders if such stockholder approval occurs before
the first anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

 

2.16 “Eligible
Individual” means any person who is an Employee, a Consultant or a Director, as determined by the Committee.

 

2.17
“Employee” means a full time or part time employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, including an
officer or Director, who is treated as an employee in the personnel records of the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate for the
relevant period, but shall exclude individuals who are classified by the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate as (a) independent
contractors or (b) intermittent or temporary, even if any such classification is changed retroactively as a result of an audit,
litigation or otherwise. A Participant shall not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any vacation or sick time or otherwise
approved paid time off in accordance with the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate’s policy or (ii) transfers between locations
of the Company or between the Company, a Subsidiary and/or Affiliate; provided that, with respect to an Award that constitutes a
deferral of compensation and is subject to Section 409A of the Code, in order to settle such an Award as a result of a separation
from service (including a termination of employment), whether or not a Participant has had a “separation from service”
will be determined within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Code. Neither services as a Director nor payment of a
director’s fee by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the
Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

2.18
“Exchange Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

2.19 “Fair
Market Value” means, as of any given date, the value of the Common Stock as determined below. If the Common Stock is listed
on any established stock exchange or quotation system, including without limitation the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market,
the Fair Market Value shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock (or if not sales were reported the closing price on the date
immediately preceding such date) as quoted on such exchange or system on such date, as reported in the Wall Street Journal (or
such other source as the Company may deem reliable for such purposes). In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the
Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Committee and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary
to exempt an Award from or comply with Section 409A of the Code. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

 

2.20 “Incentive
Stock Option” means an Option that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision
thereto.

 

2.21 “Independent

expressed in terms of overall Company performance, the performance of a Subsidiary or Affiliate, the performance of a division or a business
unit of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or the performance of an individual. The Committee, in its discretion, may appropriately
adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals for such Performance Period (a) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual
or infrequently occurring corporate item, transaction, event, or development, or (b) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other
unusual, infrequently occurring or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or in response
to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions.

 

2.28 “Performance

ARTICLE 3.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

3.1 Share
Reserve / Number of Shares. Subject to Article 10, and the following sentence regarding the Evergreen Increase, the aggregate
number of Shares that may initially be issued pursuant to Awards will not exceed 10% Shares (the “Share Reserve”).
In addition, the Share Reserve will automatically increase on February 1st of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten (10)
years, beginning on February 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) February 1, 2032 (each, an “Evergreen Date”) in
an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding on the January 31st immediately preceding
the applicable Evergreen Date (the “Evergreen Increase”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to
the Evergreen Date of a given year to provide that there will be no Evergreen Increase for such year, or that the Evergreen Increase for
such year will be a lesser number of Shares than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

(a) Share
Reserve Counting. For clarity, the Share Reserve in this Section 3.1 is a limitation on the number of Shares that may be issued
pursuant to the Plan. Shares that are subject to Options, SARs and other awards shall be counted against the maximum limit set forth in
this Section 3.1 as one (1) Share for every one (1) Share subject to such Options, SAR or other award. During the terms of the
Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards.

 

(b) Shares
Reissuable Under Plan. To the extent that an Award terminates, expires, lapses for any reason, or is settled in cash, any Shares subject
to the Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. Any Shares that again become available for the grant
of Awards pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall be added back as one (1) Share for each Share being added back from Options and
SARs and two (2) Shares for each Share being added back from an Award other than Options and SARs. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3.1(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail
to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

 

    7

     

    

 

(c) Shares Not Counted
Against Share Pool Reserve. To the extent permitted by applicable law and/or any applicable stock exchange rule, Shares issued
in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate (“Substitute Awards”) shall not be counted against Shares available for grant
pursuant to this Plan. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or any applicable stock exchange rule in the
event that a company acquired by the Company or any company with which the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate combines has
shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or
combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as appropriately adjusted to reflect
the transaction) may be used for grants of Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares available for issuance under the
Plan, and Shares subject to such Awards (which, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude Substitute Awards) may again become available
for Awards under the Plan as provided under Section 3.1(b) above; provided, that, Awards using such available
shares (or any Shares that again become available for issuance under the Plan under Section 3.1(b) above): (i) shall not be
granted after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or
combination; (ii) shall be made only to individuals who were not Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to such acquisition or combination; and (iii) shall otherwise be granted in compliance with
applicable stock exchange listing standards. In addition, the payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash pursuant to any outstanding
Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

 

3.2 Incentive
Stock Option Limit. Subject to the provisions of Section 10, the aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant
to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is 10% shares.

 

3.3 Limitation
on Compensation of Non-Employee Directors. The maximum number of Shares subject to Awards granted under this Plan or otherwise during
any one year to any Non-Employee Director for service on the Board, taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company to such Non-Employee
Director during such year for service on the Board, will not exceed $250,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards
based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes); provided, that (a) the Committee may make exceptions
to this limit, except that the Non-Employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award
such compensation and (b) for any calendar year in which a Non-Employee Director (i) first commences service on the Board, (ii) serves
on a special committee of the Board, or (iii) serves as lead director or non-executive chair of the Board, such limit shall be increased
to $300,000; provided, further, that the limit set forth in this Section 3.3 shall be applied without regard to Awards or other compensation,
if any, provided to a Non-Employee Director during any period in which such individual serves or served as an employee of the Company
or any Affiliate or otherwise provides or provided services to the Company or to any Affiliate other than in the capacity as a Non-Employee
Director.

 

3.4 Shares
Distributed. Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares, treasury
Shares or Shares purchased on the open market.

ARTICLE 4.

ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION,
MINIMUM VESTING REQUIREMENTS, DIVIDENDS

 

4.1 Eligibility.
Each Eligible Individual shall be eligible to be granted one or more Awards pursuant to the Plan. An Eligible Individual who is subject
to taxation in the U.S. and who is a service provider to an Affiliate may be granted Awards under this Plan only if, with respect to the
Affiliate, the Company qualifies as an “eligible issuer of service recipient stock” within the meaning of §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E)
of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (or any successor provision).

 

4.2 Participation.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from among all Eligible Individuals, those to whom
Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. No Eligible Individual shall have any right to be granted
an Award pursuant to this Plan and the grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual shall not imply any entitlement to receive future Awards.

 

4.3 Minimum
Vesting Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3, no portion of any Award may vest before the first anniversary
of the date of grant. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence: (a) the Company may grant Awards with respect to up to twenty-five
percent (25%) of the number of Shares reserved under Section 3.1 without regard to the minimum vesting period set forth in this
Section 4.3; (b) the minimum vesting period set forth in this Section 4.3 shall not apply to Substitute Awards, Awards that
may be settled only in cash, Shares delivered in lieu of fully-vested cash obligations, or Awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest
on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks
after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, that, the foregoing requirement does not apply to the Committee’s
discretion to provide for, in the terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise, accelerated vesting or exercisability of any Award and/or
waive any restrictions, conditions or limitations applicable to such Award, including in cases of a Participant’s Retirement, death,
Disability or a Change in Control.

 

4.4 Dividends
and Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may provide that any Award (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) that relates
to shares of Common Stock shall earn dividends or Dividend Equivalents; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, the Committee may not provide for the current payment of dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to any shares
of Common Stock subject to an outstanding Award (or portion thereof) that has not vested. For any such Award, the Committee may provide
only for the accrual of dividends or Dividend Equivalents that will not be payable to the Participant unless and until, and only to the
extent that, the Award vests. Unless the Board otherwise approves, no dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights.

ARTICLE 5.

STOCK OPTIONS

 

5.1 General.
The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals on the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per Share subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement;
provided, that, subject to Section 5.2(b) hereof, the per Share exercise price for any Option shall not be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (other than in the case of Substitute Awards).

 

(b) Time
and Conditions of Exercise. Subject to Section 4.3, the Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may
be exercised in whole or in part. The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied
before all or part of an Option may be exercised.

 

(c) Payment. The
Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, potentially including the following
methods: (i) cash or check, (ii) surrender of Shares (including withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the
Award) which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the
Award shall be exercised, (iii) promissory note bearing interest at no less than such rate as shall then preclude the imputation of
interest under the Code, (iv) other property acceptable to the Committee (including through the delivery of a notice that the
Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that
the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the
Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale), (iv)
by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall be
reduced by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise
price (plus withholding taxes, if applicable) and any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price (and/or applicable
withholding taxes) not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued shall be paid by Participant in cash
or other form of payment approved by the Committee, or (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. The Award Agreement
will specify the methods of paying the exercise price available to Participants. The Committee shall also determine the methods by
which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k)
of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option, or continue any extension of credit with respect to
the exercise price of an Option, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the
Exchange Act.

the earlier of the date one year after the date of the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates on account of death or Disability
or the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. Upon the Participant’s Disability or death, any
Options exercisable at the Participant’s Disability or death may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or
representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant
fails to make testamentary disposition of such Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Option pursuant
to the applicable laws of descent and distribution; and

 

(iii) Immediately
upon the date of the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for Cause.

“subsidiary corporation” under Section 424(f) of the Code and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, and the terms
of any Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1 hereof, must comply
with the provisions of this Section 5.2.

 

(a) Dollar Limitation.
The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all Shares with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as
imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable
by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.

(b) Ten
Percent Owners. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than
ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Shares of the Company only if such Option is granted at an exercise price
that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more than five years from the
date of grant.

 

(c) Notice
of Disposition. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive

(e) Failure
to Meet Requirements. Any Option (or portion thereof) purported to be an Incentive Stock Option, which, for any reason, fails to meet
the requirements of Section 422 of the Code shall be considered a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Share Awards. Any Eligible Individual selected by the Committee may be granted one or more Awards of Performance Shares which shall
be denominated in a number of Shares and which may be linked to any one or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific performance
criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by

performance-based conditions. On the settlement date, the Company shall, subject to Section 9.5(a) hereof and satisfaction of
applicable withholding taxes (as further set forth in Section 14.3), transfer to the Participant one unrestricted, fully
transferable Share for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited. Alternatively,

ARTICLE 9.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

 

9.1 Stand-Alone
and Tandem Awards. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition
to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may
be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

 

9.2 Award
Agreement. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each
Award which may include the term of an Award, additional provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment or service
terminates, and the Company’s authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.

 

9.3 Limits
on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any
party other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant
to any other party other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall
be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant
to beneficiary designation procedures approved from time to time by the Committee (or the Board in the case of Awards granted to Non-Employee
Directors). The Committee by express provision in the Award or an amendment thereto may permit an Award (other than an Incentive Stock
Option) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or entities related to the Participant, including, but not limited
to, members of the Participant’s family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial
owners are members of the Participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or entities as may be expressly
approved by the Committee, pursuant to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish.

 

    16

     

    

 

Any permitted transfer shall be
subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax
planning purposes (or to a “blind trust” in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment or service with
the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to assume a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution)
and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section 9.3
or Section 9.4 below, no Award may be transferred for value or consideration.

 

9.4 Beneficiaries.
Notwithstanding Section 9.3 hereof, a Participant may, if permitted by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights
of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal
guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the
Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to
any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community
property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than
50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s
spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to either the person’s estate or
legal representative or the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution (or
equivalent laws outside the U.S.). Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any
time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

 

9.5
Stock Certificates; Book Entry Procedures.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing Shares pursuant to the
exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such
certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements
of any exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. All certificates evidencing Shares delivered pursuant to the Plan are
subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal,
state or local securities or other laws, including laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States, and the rules and regulations
of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee
may place legends on any certificate evidencing Shares to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares. In addition to the terms
and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and
representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or
requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with
respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the
Committee.

 

    17

     

    

 

(b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the
Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares
shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

 

9.6 Accelerated
Vesting and Deferral Limitations. The Committee shall not have the discretionary authority to accelerate or delay issuance of Shares
or payment of cash under an Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, except to
the extent that such acceleration or delay may, in the discretion of the Committee, be effected in a manner that will not cause any person
to incur taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

 

9.7 Paperless
Administration. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system
for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then
the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than
normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the Shares or the price of the Shares, the Committee
shall make such adjustments, if any, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights granted to Participant’s under this Plan as the
Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and kind of shares that
may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 hereof); (b) the number

laws, regulations or accounting principles, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as
it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and
either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions
whenever the Committee determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such
transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:

 

(i) To
provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been
attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the
date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 10.1 the Committee determines in good faith that no
amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may
be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee
in its sole discretion;

 

    18

     

    

 

(ii) To

for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof,
with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

 

(iii) To
make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and
kind of outstanding Restricted Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included
in, outstanding options, rights and awards;

 

(iv) To
provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and

 

(v) To
provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.

 

10.2 Change
in Control. Notwithstanding Section 10.1 hereof, if a Change in Control occurs, the Committee or the Board may, in its sole
discretion, provide for any of the following to be effective upon the consummation of the event (or effective immediately prior to the
consummation of the event, provided that the consummation of the event subsequently occurs), and no action taken under this Section
10.2 shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely alter or impair the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof:

 

(i) either
(A) termination of any such Award, whether or not vested, in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property, if any, equal to the
amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s vested rights (and, for
the avoidance of doubt, if, as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 10.1, the Committee
or the Board determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s
vested rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without any payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights
or property selected by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion;

 

    19

options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate
adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

 

(iii) that
subject to Article 9 and any other applicable provision herein, the Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with
respect to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable Award Agreement; or

 

(iv) that
the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after a date certain in the future, which may be the effective date of such event.

 

10.3 Correction
of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency
in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to implement or maintain the effectiveness
of the Plan.

 

10.4 No
Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation
of Shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or any dissolution,
liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to
action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the
grant or the exercise price of any Award.

the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Participant;

 

(g) Decide
all other matters that must be determined in connection with an Award;

 

(h) Establish,
adopt, or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan;

 

(i) To
suspend or terminate the Plan at any time provided that such suspension or termination does not materially impair rights and obligations
under any outstanding Award without written consent of the affected Participant;

 

(j) Interpret
the terms of, and any matter arising pursuant to, the Plan or any Award Agreement; and

 

(k) Make
all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer
the Plan.

 

11.4 Decisions
Binding. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement and all decisions
and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.

 

11.5 Delegation
of Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Committee may from time to time (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the
Company the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions, including the authority to grant
or amend Awards to Participants, as the Committee may determine, and (ii) delegate to any person or subcommittee (who may, but need not,
be members of the Committee) such Plan-related administrative authority and responsibilities as it deems appropriate; provided,
however, the Committee may not delegate its authority with respect to non-ministerial actions relating to Awards to Employees who
are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority
to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, provided it meets the limitation in the preceding sentence,
this delegation shall include the right to modify Awards as necessary to accommodate changes in the laws or regulations. Any delegation
hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Committee
may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section
11.5 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee.

ARTICLE 12.

PLAN EXPIRATION DATE

 

The Plan will continue in effect
until it is terminated by the Board pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, except that no Award may be granted under the Plan from and
after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Any Awards that are outstanding on the date the Plan terminates shall
remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 13.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

 

13.1 Amendment,
Modification, and Termination. Subject to Section 14.14 hereof, with the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to
time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable
to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment
in such a manner and to such a degree as required, and (b) stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment to the Plan that (i)
increases the number of shares available under the Plan (other than any adjustment as provided by Article 10), or (ii) permits
the Committee to extend the exercise period for an Option beyond ten years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Plan to the contrary, absent approval of the stockholders of the Company, no Option or SAR may be amended to reduce the per share exercise
price of the shares subject to such Option or SAR below the per share exercise price as of the date the Option or SAR is granted and,
except as permitted by Article 10, (a) no Option or SAR may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation,
surrender or substitution of an Option or SAR having a higher per share exercise price and (b) no Option or SAR may be cancelled in exchange
for, or in connection with, the payment of a cash amount or another Award at a time when the Option or SAR has a per share exercise price
that is higher than the Fair Market Value of a Share.

 

13.2 Awards
Previously Granted. Except with respect to amendments made or other actions taken pursuant to Section 14.14 hereof or any amendment
or other action with respect to an outstanding Award that may be required or desirable to comply with applicable law, as determined in
the sole discretion of the Committee, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way
any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant; provided, however, that an amendment
or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting
the rights of the Participant.

 

ARTICLE 14.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

14.1 No
Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither
the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

 

    22

     

    

 

14.2 No
Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect
to Shares covered by any Award, including the right to vote or receive dividends, until the Participant becomes the record owner of such
Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of an Option or other Award.

 

14.3 Withholding.
The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a
Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. federal, state and local taxes and taxes imposed by jurisdictions
outside of the United States (including income tax, social insurance contributions, payment on account and any other taxes that may be
due) that the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate determines are required to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning
a Participant arising as a result of this Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Subsidiary
or Affiliate, as appropriate, to satisfy withholding obligations for the payment of taxes. The Committee may in its discretion and in
satisfaction of the foregoing requirement direct the Company to withhold, or allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold,
Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld;
the number of Shares so withheld may be determined using rates of up to, but not exceeding, the maximum federal, state, local and/or foreign
statutory tax rates applicable in a particular jurisdiction on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. No
Shares shall be delivered hereunder to any Participant or other person until the Participant or such other person has made arrangements
acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of these tax obligations with respect to any taxable event concerning the Participant
or such other person arising as a result of Awards made under this Plan.

 

14.4 No
Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any
Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

 

14.5 Unfunded
Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments
not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any
rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

 

14.6 Indemnification. To
the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in
connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may
be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or
her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company
an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her
own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such
persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or
any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 

    23

     

    

 

14.7 Relationship
to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension,
retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, termination programs and/or indemnities or severance payments, welfare or other
benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other
plan or an agreement thereunder.

 

14.8 Expenses.
The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates.

 

14.9 Titles
and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict,
the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

 

14.10 Fractional
Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in
lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

 

14.11 Limitations
Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any
Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable
exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) that are requirements
for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder
shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

14.12 Government and Other
Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Shares or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations of the United States and jurisdictions outside the United States, and to such approvals by government
agencies, including government agencies in jurisdictions outside of the United States, in each case as may be required or as the
Company deems necessary or advisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver
evidence of title for Shares subject to Awards granted hereunder prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies
that the Company determines are necessary or advisable, and (b) completion of any registration or other qualification with respect
to the Shares under any applicable law in the United States or in a jurisdiction outside of the United States or ruling of any
governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable or at a time when any such registration or qualification
is not current, has been suspended or otherwise has ceased to be effective. The inability or impracticability of the Company to
obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel
to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of
the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained and shall constitute
circumstances in which the Committee may determine to amend or cancel Awards pertaining to such Shares, with or without
consideration to the affected Participant. The Company shall be under no obligation to register pursuant to the Securities Act, as
amended, any of the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan. If the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt
from registration pursuant to the Securities Act, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares in such manner as
it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

 

    24

     

    

 

14.13 Governing
Law. The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the validity,
construction and effect of the Plan and all Award Agreements, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreements.

 

14.14 Section
409A. Except as provided in Section 14.15 hereof, to the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under
the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions
required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation
any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date the Plan became effective. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the date an Award is granted the Committee determines that the Award may be subject
to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued
after the date the Plan became effective), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt
other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, including
amendments or actions that would result in a reduction to the benefits payable under an Award, in each case, without the consent of the
Participant, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve
the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section or mitigate
any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A of the Code if compliance
is not practical. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred
compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that are otherwise required to be made under this Plan to a “specified
employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) as a result of such employee’s separation from service (other than a
payment that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation from
service (or, if earlier, until the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award
Agreement) upon expiration of such delay period.

 

14.15 No
Representations or Covenants with respect to Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (a) qualify an Award for favorable
tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States (e.g., incentive stock options
under Section 422 of the Code) or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no
representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, anything to
the contrary in this Plan, including Section 14.15 hereof, notwithstanding. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate
activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on holders of Awards under the Plan. Nothing in this Plan or in an Award
Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take any action against the Company or any Affiliate based on matters covered by Section
409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any Awards, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate will have any liability under any
circumstances to the Participant or any other party if the Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of
the Code, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto.

 

14.16 Clawback/Recovery.
All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to
adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are
listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable laws. In addition,
the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions on an Award as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate
in view of applicable laws, governance requirements or best practices, including, but not limited to, a reacquisition right in respect
of previously acquired Shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of cause (as determined by the Committee).

 

14.17 Provisions
for Foreign Participants. The Committee may modify Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of
the United States or establish sub-plans or procedures under the Plan to recognize differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs
of foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters.
