Borrower and each of the other
Credit Parties hereby further represent, warrant, and covenant with and to Agent
and the Lenders as follows: 

4.1                  Representations and
Warranties. After giving effect to this Amendment, each of the
representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Credit Parties to
Agent and the Lenders in all of the Loan Documents was true and correct in all
material respects when made and is true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the date of this Amendment with the same full force and effect as if

expressly permitted or expressly contemplated by the Credit Agreement. 

4.2                  Binding
Effect of Documents. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents have been
duly executed and delivered to Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower and each of
the other Credit Parties and are in full force and effect, as modified hereby.

4.3                  No Conflict,
Etc. The execution and delivery and performance of this Amendment by the
Borrower and each of the other Credit Parties will not violate any federal,
state or any other material law, rule, regulation or order or material
contractual obligation of such Person in any material respect and will not
result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the
Liens created by the Collateral Documents) on any of its Properties or revenues.

4.4                  Events of
Default. No Events of Default, other than the Specified Event of Default, as
waived in Section 6 of this Amendment, are continuing as of the date
hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge, confirm, and agree that any material
misrepresentation by any Credit Party or any failure of any Credit Party to

SECTION 5.

and provisions of this Amendment shall be subject to each of the following
conditions precedent having been satisfied as determined in Agent’s sole

SECTION 7.
         
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND PROVISIONS OF
GENERAL APPLICATION 

7.1                  Condition Subsequent.
Promptly upon execution thereof, Borrower shall deliver to Agent duly
executed copies of the first amendment to the loan agreement evidencing the
Plano Debt and the material ancillary documents related thereto. 

7.2                  Effect of
this Amendment. Except for the amendments expressly set forth and referred

specifically ratified and confirmed by all parties hereto as of the date hereof.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the other
Loan Documents, the terms of this Amendment shall control. Nothing in this
Amendment is intended, or shall be construed, to constitute a novation or an
accord and satisfaction of any Credit Party’s Obligations under or in connection
with the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to modify,
affect or impair the perfection or continuity of Agent’s security interests in,
security titles to or other Liens on any Collateral for the Obligations. The
Credit Agreement and this Amendment shall be read and construed as one
agreement. Agent and Lenders hereby notify the Credit Parties that, effective
from and after the date of this Amendment, Agent, and Lenders intend to enforce
all of the provisions of the Loan Documents and that Agent and Lenders expect
that the Credit Parties will strictly comply with the terms of the Loan
Documents from and after this date. 

7.3                  Costs and
Expenses. The Credit Parties absolutely and unconditionally agree to pay to
Agent, on demand by Agent at any time and as often as the occasion therefore may
require, all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of any counsel to
Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, or delivery of
this Amendment and any agreements delivered in connection herewith and expenses
which shall at any time be incurred or sustained by Agent or any participant of
Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents as a
consequence of or in any way in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution, or delivery of this Amendment and any agreements prepared,
negotiated, executed or delivered in connection herewith. 

7.4                  Further
Assurances. The parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional
documents and take such additional action as may be necessary or desirable to
effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Amendment. 

7.5                  Binding
Effect. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 

7.6                  Survival of
Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in
this Amendment or any other document furnished in connection with this Amendment
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other
documents, and no investigation by Agent or any Lender shall affect the
representations and warranties or the right of Agent or the Lenders to rely upon
them. 

7.7                  Releases by
Credit Parties. As a material inducement to Agent and the Lenders to enter
into this Amendment and to grant concessions to the Credit Parties, all in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, each
Credit Party:

of their respective past, present and future officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys, representatives, participants, heirs, successors and assigns
(each a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and
all manner of debts, accountings, bonds, warranties, representations, covenants,
promises, contracts, controversies, arguments, liabilities, obligations,
expenses, damages, judgments, executions, actions, claims, demands and causes of
action of any nature whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, either now accrued
or hereafter maturing or whether known or unknown, which any Credit Party now
has or hereafter can, shall or may have by reason of any manner, cause or
things, from the beginning of the world to and including the date of this
Amendment, with respect to matters arising out of, in connection with or related
to: 

-4- 

(i)
                  any and all obligations owed

thereof; 

(ii)
                  the Credit Agreement and indebtedness evidenced and
secured thereby; or 

(iii)
                  any other agreement or transaction between any Credit
Party and any Releasee entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement.

(b)
                  Does hereby covenant and
agree never to institute or cause to be instituted or continued prosecution of
any suit or other form of action or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever
against any Releasee by reason of or in connection with any of the foregoing
matters, claims or causes of action; provided, however, that the
foregoing release and covenant not to sue shall not apply to any claim arising
after the date of this Amendment with respect to acts, occurrences or events
after the date of this Amendment; and, further provided that the
foregoing release and covenant not to sue shall not apply to any rights or
claims, if any, of any third party creditors of any Credit Party. If any Credit
Party or any of its successors, assigns or other legal representations violates
the foregoing covenant, such Credit Party and its successors, assigns and legal
representatives, jointly and severally agree to pay, in addition to such other
damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all
attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such
violation. 

(c)
                  Does hereby expressly
acknowledge and agree that the covenants and agreements of Agent and the Lenders
contained in this Amendment shall not be construed as an admission of any
wrongdoing, liability or culpability on the part of Agent or any Lender or as
any admission by Agent or any Lender of the existence of claims by any Credit
Party against Agent, the Lenders or any other Releasee. Each Credit Party, Agent
and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the value to the Credit Parties of
the covenants, consents and agreements on the part of Agent and the Lenders
contained in this Amendment substantially and materially exceed any and all
value of any kind or nature whatsoever of any claims or other liabilities waived
or released by the Credit Parties. 

(d)
                  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Amendment, the general release set forth in this Amendment
shall not extend to and shall not include any duties or obligations of Agent or
the Lenders in the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment or in any of
the Loan Documents. 

7.8
                  Entire
Agreement. This Amendment expresses the entire understanding and agreement
of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior understandings, negotiations, correspondence and agreements of the
parties regarding such subject matter. 

7.9
                  GOVERNING
LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT
OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT, INCLUDING, ITS VALIDITY,
INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT (INCLUDING, ANY CLAIMS
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND
ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST).

	 	 	 	c.	such other form as determined by the Administrator and specified in the Award Agreement
	 	(c)	Exercise and Term of Options.  Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of Shares as shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing the Option.  However, no Option may be exercised prior to completion of the 12- month period from the Option grant date unless another period is approved by the Administrator, provided such other period is in compliance with the SEBI Regulations as in effect from time to time.  No Option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the Option grant date.  In addition, the exercisability of an Option shall accelerate in full upon the Participant’s death or Disability during his or her period of Service to the extent required under the SEBI Regulations.
	 	(d)	Effect of Termination of Service. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any Options that are outstanding at the time of the Participant’s cessation of Service or death:
	 	 	(1)	Any Option outstanding at the time of the Participant’s cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing the Option, but no such Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the Option term.
	 	 	(2)	Any Option held by the Participant at the time of the Participant’s death and exercisable in whole or in part at that time may be subsequently exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of that Option.
	 	 	(3)	Should the Participant’s Service be terminated for misconduct or should the Participant otherwise engage in misconduct while holding one or more outstanding Options, then all of those Options shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.
	 	 	(4)	During the applicable post-Service Exercise Period, the Option may not be exercised for more than the number of Shares for which the Option is exercisable at the time of cessation of Service.  No additional Shares shall vest under the Option following the Participant’s cessation of Service except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Administrator in its sole discretion pursuant to an express written agreement with the Participant.  Upon the expiration of the applicable Exercise Period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the Option term, the Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any Shares for which the Option has not been exercised.
	 	(e)	Incentive Options.  The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options.

To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such Options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, then for purposes of the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of those Options as Incentive Options, such Options shall be deemed to become first exercisable in that calendar year on the basis of the chronological order in which they were granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under Applicable Law.
	 	 	(4)	10% Stockholder.  If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the Exercise Price per Share shall not be less than 110% of the Market Price per Share on the Option grant date, and the Option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the Option grant date.

In addition, the exercisability of a Stock Appreciation Rights Award shall accelerate in full upon the Participant’s death or Disability during his or her period of Service to the extent required under the SEBI Regulations.
	 	(d)	Payment.  Upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Rights Award, the holder shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Market Price on the exercise date of the Shares underlying the exercised right over (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price in effect for such Shares. In the event that the settlement of a Stock Appreciation Rights Award results in fractional shares, then the consideration for such fractional shares shall be settled in cash.
	 	(e)	Form of Distribution.  The distribution with respect to an exercised Stock Appreciation Rights Award may be made in (i) Shares valued at the aggregate Market Price on the exercise date, (ii) cash, or (iii) a combination of cash and Shares , as specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

	10.	Transferability of Awards.  An Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.  If the Administrator, in accordance with Applicable Laws, makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.
	11.	Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control.
	 	(a)	Adjustments.

To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
	 	(c)	
        Change in Control.
        In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines, which may include
        (without limitation) one or more of the following actions with respect to any outstanding Award: (i) assumption of the Award by
        the successor corporation (or parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation (collectively, the “Successor Corporation”);
        (ii) cancellation and substitution of the Award with an Award granted by the Successor Corporation; (iii) continuation of the Award
        pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction; (iv) accelerated vesting of the Award (in whole or in part); (v) termination
        of the Award; (vi) cancellation of the Award in exchange for a cash payment for each vested Share (and each unvested Share if so
        determined by the Administrator) subject to the Award in an amount equal to the excess of the Market Price per Share on the date
        of the Change in Control over the Exercise Price in effect for such share or (vii) replacement of the Award with a cash retention
        program of the Company or any Successor Corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested Shares subject to the Award
        at the time of the Change in Control (the excess of the Market Price of those shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable
        for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those
        unvested Shares..

        The Plan Administrator
        shall have the authority to provide that any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the definitive agreement effecting
        the Change in Control shall apply to any cash payment made pursuant to this Section 11(c) to the same extent and in the same manner
        as such provisions apply to a holder of a Share. In addition, an Award may be subject to cancellation without any payment due to
        the Participant if the Market Price per Share on the date of the Change in Control is less than the Exercise Price per Share in
        effect for the Award.

        The Administrator will
        not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.

        For the purposes of
        this subsection (c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase
        or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash,
        or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Shares held on the effective date of
        the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority
        of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger, demerger or Change in Control
        is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation,
        provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share and each right to acquire a Share, to be solely common stock of the
        Successor Corporation equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the Change in
        Control.

        Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11(c)
        to the contrary, an Award that vests or is earned upon the satisfaction of one or more performance conditions (as set forth in
        the Award Agreement) will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance conditions
        (as mentioned in the Award Agreement) without the Participant’s consent: provided, however, a modification to such performance
        conditions only to reflect the Successor Corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate
        an otherwise valid Award assumption.

	12.	Tax Withholding
	 	(a)	Withholding Requirements.  Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any Taxes required with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).
	 	(b)	Withholding Arrangements.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such Taxes, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a Market Price equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Market Price equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum rates for Taxes applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of Taxes to be withheld is to be determined.  The Market Price of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the Taxes are required to be withheld.
	13.	No Effect on Employment or Service.  Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s Service relationship with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
	14.	Date of Grant.  The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination of granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.  Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
	15.	Effective Date and Term of Plan.    This Plan became effective on the date if its adoption by the Board on October 12, 2015, pursuant to the approval of the Company’s shareholders obtained by postal ballot on March 31, 2016.  The Plan will continue in effect  from the date of such initial adoption, unless terminated under Section 16 of the Plan.
	16.	Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
	 	(a)	Amendment and Termination.  Subject to Applicable Laws, the Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
	 	(b)	Shareholders’ Approval.  The Company will obtain shareholder approval by way of special resolution in a general meeting of the Company for any amendment to the Plan to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.  The notice for passing special resolution shall contain the information as set out in Clause 6.2 of SEBI Regulations.
	 	(c)	Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant unless agreed to by the Participant.  Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
	17.	Legal Compliance Prior to Issuance of Shares.  Shares will not be transferred to a Participant pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws.
	18.	Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Administrator to be necessary to the lawful transfer of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to transfer such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.
