supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency
in the Plan or in any agreement relating thereto in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to effectuate the purpose
and intent of the Plan. The Committee may adopt special guidelines and provisions for persons who are residing in or employed
in, or subject to, the taxes of, any domestic or foreign jurisdictions to comply with applicable tax and securities laws of such
domestic or foreign jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action of the Committee under this Section 3.3 shall impair

any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no
officer of the Company or member or former member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination
made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under it.

 

3.7          Indemnification.   To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company and to the extent

Article
IV

SHARE LIMITATION

 

4.1          Shares.   The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which Awards
may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 12,000,000 (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2) (the “Share
Reserve”), which may be either authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or acquired for the treasury
of the Company or both. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted
under the Plan shall be equal to the Share Reserve. With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights settled in Common Stock, upon settlement,
only the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to a Participant (based on the difference between the Fair Market Value of
the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Appreciation Right on the date such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and
the exercise price of each Stock Appreciation Right on the date such Stock Appreciation Right was awarded) shall reduce the shares
of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Other Stock-Based Awards granted
under the Plan expires, terminates or is canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of shares of
Common Stock underlying any unexercised Award shall again be available for the purpose of Awards under the Plan. If any shares
of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock awarded under the Plan
to a Participant are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other
Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock shall again be available for purposes of Awards under the Plan. If a
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or a Limited Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option, such grant shall only
apply once against the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan. Any Award under the Plan settled
in cash or withheld to satisfy tax liabilities shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.
The maximum grant date fair value of any Award granted to any non-employee director during any calendar year shall not exceed
$500,000.

 

4.2          Changes.

 

(a)  The
existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders
of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s
capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (iii) any issuance of bonds,
debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate
or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding.

 

(b)  Subject
to the provisions of Section 11.1:

 

(i)          If
the Company at any time subdivides (by any split, recapitalization or otherwise) the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number
of shares of Common Stock, or combines (by reverse split, combination or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a lesser
number of shares of Common Stock, then the respective exercise

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

prices for outstanding
Awards that provide for a Participant elected exercise and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards
shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for,
Participants under the Plan.

 

(ii)         Excepting
transactions covered by Section 4.2(b)(i), if the Company effects any merger, consolidation, statutory exchange, spin-off, reorganization,
sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s assets or business, or other corporate transaction or event in
such a manner that the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into the right to receive (or the holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive in exchange therefor), either immediately or upon liquidation of the Company, securities
or other property of the Company or other entity (each, a “Reorganization”), then, subject to the provisions
of Section 11.1, (A) the aggregate number or kind of securities that thereafter may be issued under the Plan, (B) the number or
kind of securities or other property (including cash) to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (including as a result
of the assumption of the Plan and the obligations hereunder by a successor entity, as applicable), or (C) the purchase price thereof,
shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for,
Participants under the Plan.

 

(iii)        If
there shall occur any change in the capital structure of the Company other than those covered by Section 4.2(b)(i) or 4.2(b)(ii),
including by reason of any extraordinary dividend (whether cash or equity), any conversion, any adjustment, any issuance of any
class of securities convertible or exercisable into, or exercisable for, any class of equity securities of the Company, then the
Committee may adjust any Award and make such other adjustments to the Plan to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted
to, or available for, Participants under the Plan.

 

(iv)        Any
such adjustment determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company
and all Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. Any adjustment to,
or assumption or substitution of, an Award under this Section 4.2(b) shall be intended to comply with the requirements of Section
409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto), to the extent applicable. Except as expressly
provided in this Section 4.2 or in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no additional rights under the Plan
by reason of any transaction or event described in this Section 4.2.

 

(v)         Fractional
shares of Common Stock resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or this Section 4.2(b) shall be aggregated
until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise or payment by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and rounding-up for
fractions equal to or greater than one-half. No cash settlements shall be required with respect to fractional shares eliminated
by rounding. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such
adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

 

4.3          Minimum
Purchase Price.   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously unissued shares
of Common Stock are issued under the Plan,

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

such shares shall not
be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law.

Article
VI

STOCK OPTIONS

 

6.1          Options.   Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Each Stock Option granted under the
Plan shall be of one of two types: (a) an Incentive Stock Option or (b) a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

6.2          Grants.   The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any Eligible Employee one or more Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock
Options, or both types of Stock Options. The Committee shall have the authority to grant any Consultant or Non-Employee Director
one or more Non-Qualified Stock Options. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether
because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Stock Option or the portion thereof which
does not so qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

6.3          Incentive
Stock Options.   The grant of an Incentive Stock Option shall not limit or restrict the powers and authority of the Committee
or the Company, even if the exercise of any such powers or authority would disqualify such Incentive Stock Option under Section
422.

 

6.4          Terms
of Options.   Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall be in such
form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem
desirable:

 

(a)  Exercise
Price.   The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the
time of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Stock Option shall not be less than 100% (or, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of
grant.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(b)  Stock
Option Term.   The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no Stock Option shall be exercisable
more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted; and provided further that the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not exceed five years.

 

(c)  Exercisability.
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4, Stock Options granted under
the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee
at the time of grant. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations
(including, without limitation, that such Stock Option is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the
Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part (including,
without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Stock Option may be
exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.

 

(d)  Method
of Exercise.   Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under Section 6.4(c), to the extent
vested, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Option term, by giving written notice of exercise
to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the purchase price as follows: (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company;
(ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, and the
Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable
to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions
as may be acceptable to the Committee (including, without limitation, with the consent of the Committee, having the Company withhold
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option, or by payment in full or in part in the form of Common Stock
owned by the Participant, based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date as determined by the Committee).
No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for.

 

(e)  Non-Transferability
of Options.   No Stock Option shall be Transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant or thereafter that a Non-Qualified Stock
Option that is otherwise not Transferable pursuant to this Section is Transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part and
in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Committee. A Non-Qualified Stock Option that is Transferred
to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently Transferred other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. Any shares of
Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Stock Option
or a permissible transferee pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be subject to the
terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

(f)   Termination
by Death or Disability.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant
are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is by reason of death or Disability, all Stock Options that are
held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by
the Participant (or in the case of the Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s estate)
at any time within a period of one (1) year from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated
term of such Stock Options; provided, however, that, in the event of a Participant’s Termination by reason of Disability,
if the Participant dies within such exercise period, all unexercised Stock Options held by such Participant shall thereafter be
exercisable, to the extent to which they were exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one (1) year from the date of
such death, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options.

 

(g)  Involuntary
Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, or if no
rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is by involuntary termination by the Company
without Cause or by the Participant with Good Reason, all Stock Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and
exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within ninety (90)
days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options.

 

(h)  Voluntary
Resignation.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced,
thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in Section 6.4(i)(y)
hereof), all Stock Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s
Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such Termination,
but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options.

 

(i)   Termination
for Cause.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced,
thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination (x) is for Cause or (y) is a voluntary Termination (as provided in Section 6.4(h))
after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, all Stock Options, whether vested or not vested,
that are held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.

 

(j)   Unvested
Stock Options.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced,
thereafter, Stock Options that are not vested as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate
and expire as of the date of such Termination.

 

(k)  Incentive
Stock Option Limitations.   To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common
Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar
year under the Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Options
shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. In addition, if an Eligible Employee does not remain employed by the Company,
any Subsidiary or

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

any Parent at all times
from the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted until three months prior to the date of exercise thereof (or such other period
as required by applicable law), such Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Should any provision of the
Plan not be necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional provisions
be required, the Committee may amend the Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders
of the Company.

 

(l)   Form,
Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options.   Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the
Plan, Stock Options shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may
(i) modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options granted under the Plan (provided that the rights of a Participant are
not reduced without such Participant’s consent and provided further that such action does not subject the Stock Options
to Section 409A of the Code without the consent of the Participant), and (ii) accept the surrender of outstanding Stock Options
(to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Stock Options in substitution therefor (to the extent
not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an outstanding Option may not be modified to reduce the exercise price
thereof nor may a new Option at a lower price be substituted for a surrendered Option (other than adjustments or substitutions
in accordance with Section 4.2), unless such action is approved by the stockholders of the Company.

 

(m) Deferred
Delivery of Common Stock.   The Committee may in its discretion permit Participants to defer delivery of Common Stock acquired
pursuant to a Participant’s exercise of an Option in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee
in the applicable Award Agreement, which shall be intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(n)  Early
Exercise.   The Committee may provide that a Stock Option include a provision whereby the Participant may elect at any time
before the Participant’s Termination to exercise the Stock Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject
to the Stock Option prior to the full vesting of the Stock Option and such shares shall be subject to the provisions of Article
VIII and be treated as Restricted Stock. Unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in
favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Committee determines to be appropriate.

 

(o)  Other
Terms and Conditions.   The Committee may include a provision in an Award Agreement providing for the automatic exercise of
a Non-Qualified Stock Option on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of such Option if the Participant has failed to exercise
the Non-Qualified Stock Option as of such date, with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying
the Non-Qualified Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of such Non-Qualified Stock Option on the date of expiration of such
Option, subject to Section 14.4. Stock Options may contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of
the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

VII

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

7.1          Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights.   Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock
Option (a “Reference Stock Option”) granted under the Plan (“Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights”).
In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Reference
Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Reference
Stock Option.

 

7.2          Terms
and Conditions of Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.   Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder shall be
subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time
by the Committee, and the following:

 

(a)  Exercise
Price.   The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the
Committee at the time of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of grant.

 

(b)  Term.   A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted with respect to a Reference Stock Option shall terminate
and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the Reference Stock Option, except that, unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less
than the full number of shares covered by the Reference Stock Option shall not be reduced until, and then only to the extent that
the exercise or termination of the Reference Stock Option causes, the number of shares covered by the Tandem Stock Appreciation
Right to exceed the number of shares remaining available and unexercised under the Reference Stock Option.

 

(c)  Exercisability.   Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Reference Stock Options
to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Article VI, and shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 6.4(c).

 

(d)  Method
of Exercise.   A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the Participant by surrendering the applicable portion
of the Reference Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount determined
in the manner prescribed in this Section 7.2. Stock Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer
be exercisable to the extent that the related Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.

 

(e)  Payment.   Upon the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but no more than, an
amount in cash and/or Common Stock (as chosen by the Committee in its sole discretion) equal in value to the excess of the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock over the Option exercise price per share specified in the Reference Stock Option agreement
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock in

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

respect of which the
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment.

 

(f)   Deemed
Exercise of Reference Stock Option.   Upon the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, the Reference Stock Option or
part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation
set forth in Article IV of the Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan.

 

(g)  Non-Transferability.   Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be Transferable only when and to the extent that the underlying Stock Option would be Transferable
under Section 6.4(e) of the Plan.

 

7.3          Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights.   Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights may also be granted without reference to any Stock
Options granted under the Plan.

 

7.4          Terms
and Conditions of Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.   Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder
shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time
to time by the Committee, and the following:

 

(a)  Exercise
Price.   The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by
the Committee at the time of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of grant.

 

(b)  Term.   The term of each Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not be greater than 10 years after
the date the right is granted.

 

(c)  Exercisability.   Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4, Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation
Rights granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be
determined by the Committee at the time of grant. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any such right is exercisable
subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that it is exercisable only in installments or within certain time
periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including,
without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such right may be exercised),
based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.

 

(d)  Method
of Exercise.   Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under Section 7.4(c), Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in whole or in part at any time in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement,
by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised.

 

(e)  Payment.   Upon the exercise of a Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right a Participant shall be entitled to receive, for each right exercised,
up to, but no more than, an

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

amount in cash and/or
Common Stock (as chosen by the Committee in its sole discretion) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one
share of Common Stock on the date that the right is exercised over the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date
that the right was awarded to the Participant.

 

(f)   Termination.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, subject to
the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason, Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights will remain exercisable following a Participant’s Termination on the same basis as Stock Options
would be exercisable following a Participant’s Termination in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.4(f) through
6.4(j).

 

(g)  Non-Transferability.   No Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be Transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and all such rights shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant.

 

7.5          Limited
Stock Appreciation Rights.   The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Tandem and Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation
Rights either as a general Stock Appreciation Right or as a Limited Stock Appreciation Right. Limited Stock Appreciation Rights
may be exercised only upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or such other event as the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
designate at the time of grant or thereafter. Upon the exercise of Limited Stock Appreciation Rights, except as otherwise provided
in an Award Agreement, the Participant shall receive in cash and/or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, an amount equal
to the amount (i) set forth in Section 7.2(e) with respect to Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights, or (ii) set forth in Section 7.4(e)
with respect to Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

7.6          Other
Terms and Conditions.   The Committee may include a provision in an Award Agreement providing for the automatic exercise
of a Stock Appreciation Right on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right if the Participant
has failed to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right as of such date, with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the shares
of Common Stock underlying the Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Right on the date
of expiration of such Stock Appreciation Right, subject to Section 14.4. Stock Appreciation Rights may contain such other provisions,
which shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

 

Article
VIII

RESTRICTED STOCK

 

8.1          Awards
of Restricted Stock.   Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under
the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Eligible Individuals, to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted
Stock shall be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Participant (subject to Section
8.2), the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration
thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

The Committee may
condition the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance targets (including, the Performance
Goals) or such other factor as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.

 

8.2          Awards
and Certificates.   Eligible Individuals selected to receive Restricted Stock shall not have any right with respect to such
Award, unless and until such Participant has delivered a fully executed copy of the agreement evidencing the Award to the Company,
to the extent required by the Committee, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. Further,
such Award shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(a)  Purchase
Price.   The purchase price of Restricted Stock shall be fixed by the Committee. Subject to Section 4.3, the purchase price
for shares of Restricted Stock may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law, and, to the extent not so permitted, such
purchase price may not be less than par value.

 

(b)  Acceptance.   Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of 60 days (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at
grant) after the grant date, by executing a Restricted Stock agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has
designated thereunder.

 

(c)  Legend.
  Each Participant receiving Restricted Stock shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted
Stock, unless the Committee elects to use another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership
of shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and shall, in addition
to such legends required by applicable securities laws, bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and
restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:

 

“The anticipation, alienation,
attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge of the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to
the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Townsquare Media, Inc. (the “Company”) 2014 Omnibus Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”) and an Agreement entered into between the registered owner and the Company dated __________. Copies
of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company.”

 

(d)  Custody.   If stock certificates are issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require that any stock certificates
evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition
of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a duly signed stock power or other instruments of assignment
(including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award in
the event that such Award is forfeited in whole or part.

 

8.3          Restrictions
and Conditions.   The shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions
and conditions:

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

(a)  Restriction
Period.   (i) The Participant shall not be permitted to Transfer shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan during the
period or periods set by the Committee (the “Restriction Period”) commencing on the date of such Award, as
set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement and such agreement shall set forth a vesting schedule and any event that would
accelerate vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock. Within these limits, based on service, attainment of Performance Goals pursuant
to Section 8.3(a)(ii) and/or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, the Committee
may condition the grant or provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments in whole or in part, or may accelerate the
vesting of all or any part of any Restricted Stock Award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part of any Restricted
Stock Award.

 

(i)          If
the grant of shares of Restricted Stock or the lapse of restrictions is based on the attainment of Performance Goals, the Committee
shall establish the objective Performance Goals and the applicable vesting percentage of the Restricted Stock applicable to each
Participant or class of Participants in writing prior to the beginning of the applicable fiscal year or at such later date as
otherwise determined by the Committee and while the outcome of the Performance Goals are substantially uncertain. Such Performance
Goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including,
without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.

 

(b)  Rights
as a Stockholder.   Except as provided in Section 8.3(a) and this Section 8.3(b) or as otherwise determined by the Committee
in an Award Agreement, the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a holder
of shares of Common Stock of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, the right to vote such
shares and, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of shares of Restricted Stock, the right to tender such shares. The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine at the time of grant that the payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and
conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period.

 

(c)  Termination.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, subject to
the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason during the
relevant Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction will be forfeited in accordance with the terms
and conditions established by the Committee at grant or thereafter.

 

(d)  Lapse
of Restrictions.   If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, the certificates
for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant. All legends shall be removed from said certificates at the time of delivery
to the Participant, except as otherwise required by applicable law or other limitations imposed by the Committee.

 

Article
IX

PERFORMANCE AWARDS

 

9.1          Performance
Awards.   The Committee may grant a Performance Award to a Participant payable upon the attainment of specific Performance
Goals. If the Performance Award

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

is payable in shares
of Restricted Stock, such shares shall be transferable to the Participant only upon attainment of the relevant Performance Goal
in accordance with Article VIII. If the Performance Award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant
Performance Goals either in cash or in shares of Restricted Stock (based on the then current Fair Market Value of such shares),
as determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Performance Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
in such form that is not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee may from time to time approve.

 

9.2          Terms
and Conditions.   Performance Awards awarded pursuant to this Article IX shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)  Earning
of Performance Award.   At the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the extent to
which the Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 9.2(c) are achieved and the percentage of each Performance Award that

CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

 

11.1        Benefits.   In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), and except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an
Award Agreement, a Participant’s unvested Awards shall not vest automatically and a Participant’s Awards shall be
treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods as determined by the Committee:

 

(a)  Awards,
whether or not then vested, shall be continued, assumed, or have new rights substituted therefor, as determined by the Committee
in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and restrictions to which shares of Restricted Stock
or any other Award granted prior to the Change in Control are subject shall not lapse upon a Change in Control and the Restricted
Stock or other Award shall, where appropriate in the sole discretion of the Committee, receive the same distribution as other
Common Stock on such terms as determined by the Committee; provided that the Committee may decide to award additional Restricted
Stock or other Awards in lieu of any cash distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of Incentive
Stock Options, any assumed or substituted Stock Option shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1
(and any amendment thereto).

 

(b)  The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the purchase of any Awards by the Company or an Affiliate for an amount of
cash equal to the excess (if any) of the Change in Control Price (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock covered by such
Awards, over the aggregate exercise price of such Awards. For purposes hereof, “Change in Control Price” shall
mean the highest price per share of Common Stock paid in any transaction related to a Change in Control of the Company.

 

(c)  The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding and unexercised Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, or
any Other Stock-Based Award that provides for a Participant elected exercise, effective as of the date of the Change in Control,
by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of consummation of the Change
in Control, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation
of the Change in Control, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of such Participant’s Awards
that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award Agreements), but
any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Change in Control, and, provided that, if the Change in Control
does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant
thereto shall be null and void.

 

(d)  Notwithstanding
any other provision herein to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting or lapse
of restrictions, of an Award at any time.

 

11.2        Change
in Control.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement
with a Participant approved by the Committee, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur if:

(a)  any
“person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., or their
affiliates, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership of Common Stock of the Company), becoming the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d 3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s
then outstanding securities, other than pursuant to Business Transaction (defined below) that does not constitute a “Change
in Control” thereunder;

 

(b)  during
any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director
(other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described
in paragraph (a), (c), or (d) of this Section 11.2 or a director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either
an actual or threatened election contest (as such term is used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange
Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board) whose
election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds
of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two year period or whose election or nomination
for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;

 

(c)  a
merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company (a “Business Transaction”)

of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or its successor  (or
the ultimate parent company of the Company or its successor) outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided,
however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which
no person (other than those covered by the exceptions in Section 11.2(a)) acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power
of the Company’s then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company; or

 

(d)  a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets other than the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company

voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale (or to an entity controlled by such person or persons).

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to any Award that is characterized as “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code, an event shall not be considered to be a Change in Control under the Plan for purposes of payment
of such Award unless such event is also a “change in ownership,” a “change in effective control” or a
“change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code.

TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN

 

Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, the Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions
of the Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred
to in Article XIV or Section 409A of the Code), or suspend or terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided, however,
that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided herein, the rights of a Participant with respect to Awards granted
prior to such amendment, suspension or termination, may not be impaired without the consent of such Participant and, provided
further, that without the approval of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote in accordance with applicable
law, no amendment may be made that would (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under
the Plan (except by operation of Section 4.2); (ii) increase the maximum individual Participant limitations for a fiscal

In no event may the Plan be amended without the approval of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the applicable
laws of the State of Delaware to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan,
decrease the minimum exercise price of any Award, or to make any other amendment that would require stockholder approval under
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules and regulations or the rules of any exchange or system on which the Company’s
securities are listed or traded at the request of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board may
amend the Plan or any Award Agreement at any time without a Participant’s consent to comply with applicable law including
Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively,
but, subject to Article IV or as otherwise specifically provided herein, no such amendment or other action by the Committee shall
impair the rights of any holder without the holder’s consent.

The Plan is intended
to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payment as to which

Article
XIV

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

14.1        Legend.   The Committee may require each person receiving shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other Award under the Plan
to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution
thereof. In addition to any legend required by the Plan, the certificates for such shares may include any legend that the Committee
deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on Transfer. All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan
shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations
and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed
or any national securities exchange system upon whose system the Common Stock is then quoted, any applicable federal or state
securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates
to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

14.2        Other
Plans.   Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements,
subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable
only in specific cases.

 

14.3        No
Right to Employment/Directorship/Consultancy.   Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Option or other Award hereunder shall
give any Participant or other employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director any right with respect to continuance of employment,
consultancy or directorship by the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall there be a limitation in any way on the right of the Company
or any Affiliate by which an employee is employed or a Consultant or Non-Employee Director is retained to terminate such employment,
consultancy or directorship at any time.

 

14.4        Withholding
of Taxes.   The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to the Plan, or to otherwise
require, prior to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock or the payment of any cash hereunder, payment by the Participant
of, any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld. Upon the vesting of Restricted Stock (or other Award that
is taxable upon vesting), or upon making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, a Participant shall pay all required withholding
to the Company. Any minimum statutorily required withholding obligation with regard to any Participant may be satisfied, subject
to the consent of the Committee, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable or by delivering shares
of Common Stock already owned. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded
and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant.

 

14.5        No
Assignment of Benefits.   No Award or other benefit payable under the Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided
by law or permitted by the Committee, be Transferable in any manner, and any attempt to Transfer any such benefit shall be void,

of any person who shall be entitled to such benefit, nor shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against such
person.

14.6        Listing
and Other Conditions.

 

(a)  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, as long as the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or system sponsored
by a national securities association, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such
shares being listed on such exchange or system. The Company shall have no obligation to issue such shares unless and until such
shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award with respect to such shares shall be suspended until
such listing has been effected.

 

(b)  If
at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an
Option or other Award is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company under
the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery,
or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act or otherwise,
with respect to shares of Common Stock or Awards, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award shall be suspended until,

to time establish. Such stockholder’s agreement or other documentation shall apply to the Common Stock acquired under the
Plan and covered by such stockholder’s agreement or other documentation. The Company may require, as a condition of exercise,
the Participant to become a party to any other existing stockholder agreement (or other agreement).

 

14.8        Governing

penalties under Section 409A of the Code, responsibility for payment of such penalties shall rest solely with the affected Participants
and not with the Company. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the 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 the

and their employees, agents and representatives with respect thereto.

thereunder.

THIS NON-QUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered
into by and between Townsquare Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Participant specified
above, pursuant to the Townsquare Media, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is administered
by the Committee; and

 

WHEREAS, it
has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Non-Qualified Stock Option
provided for herein to the Participant.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the
parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.          Incorporation
By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan
(including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly
intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in
this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the
same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that
the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. No part of the Option granted hereby is intended
to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.

 

2.          Grant
of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, a Non-Qualified Stock Option
(this “Option”) to acquire from the Company at the Per Share
Exercise Price specified above, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified above (the “Option Shares”).
Except as otherwise provided by the Plan,

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides,
or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest
in the Company for any reason. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock
covered by the Option unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares, and no adjustments shall
be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares, except as otherwise
specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.

 

3.          Vesting
and Exercise.

 

(a)          Vesting.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) through 3(d) hereof, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows: ________.
Upon expiration of the Option, the Option shall be cancelled and no longer exercisable.

 

(b)          Committee
Discretion to Accelerate Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated
vesting of the Option at any time and for any reason

 

(c)          Change
in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Option shall become fully vested.

 

(d)          Expiration.
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and/or this Agreement, all portions of the Option
(whether vested or not vested) shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the
Grant Date.

 

4.          Termination.
Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Option, to the extent vested at the time of the Participant’s Termination,
shall remain exercisable as follows:

 

(a)          Termination
due to Death or Disability. In the event of the Participant’s Termination by reason of death or Disability, the vested
portion of the Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of such Termination, and (ii)
the expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof; provided, however, that in the case
of a Termination due to Disability, if the Participant dies within such one (1) year exercise period, any unexercised Option held
by the Participant shall thereafter be exercisable by the legal representative of the Participant’s estate, to the extent
to which it was exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one (1) year from the date of death, but in no event beyond the
expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof.

 

(b)          Involuntary
Termination Without Cause; Voluntary Termination by Participant. In the event of the Participant’s involuntary Termination
by the Company without Cause or a voluntary Termination by the Participant, the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable
until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, and (ii) the expiration of the stated term of the
Option pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

(c)          Termination
for Cause. In the event of the Participant’s Termination for Cause, the Participant’s entire Option (whether or
not vested) shall terminate and expire upon such Termination.

 

(d)          Treatment
of Unvested Options upon Termination. Any portion of the Option that is not vested as of the date of the Participant’s
Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.

 

5.          Method
of Exercise and Payment. Subject to Section 8 hereof, to the extent that the Option has become vested and exercisable with
respect to a number of shares of Common Stock as provided herein, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided herein and in accordance with
Sections 6.4(c) and 6.4(d) of the Plan, including, without limitation, by the filing of any written form of exercise notice as
may be required by the Committee and payment in full of the Per Share Exercise Price specified above multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Option exercised.

 

6.          Non-Transferability.
The Option, and any rights and interests with respect thereto, issued under this Agreement and the Plan shall not be sold, exchanged,
transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant (or any beneficiary of the Participant), other than
by testamentary disposition by the Participant or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, permit the Option to be Transferred to a Family Member for no value, provided that such Transfer shall
only be valid upon execution of a written instrument in form and substance acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion evidencing
such Transfer and the transferee’s acceptance thereof signed by the Participant and the transferee, and provided, further,
that the Option may not be subsequently Transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or to another
Family Member (as permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement,
and shall remain subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Any attempt to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge,
encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate in any way the Option, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal
process upon the Option, contrary to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be null and void and without
legal force or effect.

 

7.          Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of
this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.

 

8.          Withholding
of Tax. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the
Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to,
the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or
remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Option and, if the Participant
fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock otherwise required to be issued
pursuant to this Agreement. Any minimum statutorily required withholding obligation with regard

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

to the Participant may, with the
consent of the Committee, be satisfied by reducing the amount of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of
the Option.

 

9.          Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the Plan, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements or prior understandings, whether written
or oral, between the parties relating to such subject matter. The Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to modify
or amend this Agreement from time to time in accordance with and as provided in the Plan. This Agreement may also be modified or

in writing and such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof at such address as the Participant may have on
file with the Company.

 

11.         No
Right to Employment. Any questions as to whether and when there has been a Termination and the cause of such Termination
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee except with respect to instances where the Participant is covered by
an employment, consulting, change in control agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, in which case the characterization of
such termination shall be governed by the applicable agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any
way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at
any time, for any reason and with or without Cause.

 

12.         Transfer
of Personal Data. The Participant authorizes, agrees and unambiguously consents to the transmission by the Company
(or any Subsidiary) of any personal data information related to the Option awarded under this Agreement for legitimate business
purposes (including, without limitation, the administration of the Plan). This authorization and consent is freely given by the
Participant.

 

13.         Compliance
with Laws. The issuance of the Option (and the Option Shares upon exercise of the Option) pursuant to this Agreement shall
be subject to, and shall comply with, any applicable requirements of any foreign and U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules
and regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and in each case any respective
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law or regulation applicable thereto. The Company shall not be obligated
to issue the Option or any of the Option Shares pursuant to this Agreement if any such issuance would violate any such requirements.

 

14.         Section
409A. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the Option is intended to be exempt from the applicable
requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.

Agreement without the prior express written consent of the Company.

not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement.

 

17.         Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

 

18.         Further
Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform (or shall cause to be done and performed) all such further acts and
shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as either party hereto reasonably
may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Plan and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereunder.
