	Section 1	PURPOSE AND ESTABLISHMENT

is to provide a means through which Carbon Natural Gas Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and its Subsidiaries may attract able persons to serve as officers, directors or consultants or to enter the employ of the Company
and its Subsidiaries and to provide a means whereby those individuals upon whom the responsibilities of the successful administration
and management of the Company and its Subsidiaries rest, and whose present and potential contributions to the Company and its Subsidiaries
are of importance, can acquire and maintain stock ownership, thereby strengthening their concern for the welfare of the Company
and its Subsidiaries. A further purpose of the Plan is to provide such individuals with additional incentive and reward opportunities
designed to enhance the profitable growth of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Plan provides for granting Director
Stock Awards to Non-Employee Directors and for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards,
Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Awards, and Phantom Stock Awards, or any combination of the foregoing, as is best suited
to the circumstances of the particular employee, officer, director, or consultant as provided herein.

 

		1.2	Establishment and Term of the Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the date of its
adoption by the Board, provided the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company at the next meeting of the stockholders
of the Company (or the effective date of a written consent of the stockholders sufficient to approve the Plan) that occurs after
the date of such adoption by the Board. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Plan is rejected by the
stockholders of the Company at such meeting of the stockholders, all Awards granted prior to such meeting shall be null and void
and no other Awards shall be granted until the Plan receives such stockholder approval. The Plan shall remain in effect until the
earliest of: (i) the date that no additional Shares are available for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the date that the
Plan has been terminated in accordance with Section 14 or (iii) the day preceding the tenth anniversary of the date
of its adoption. Upon the termination or expiration of the Plan as provided in this Section 1.2, no Award shall be granted
pursuant to the Plan, but any Award granted prior thereto may extend beyond such termination or expiration.

and power to grant Awards relates to any person who is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any successor

the Plan set forth in Section 4.1 and may again be the subject of Awards hereunder. If the exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right or Option involves the issuance of fewer Shares than were subject to the Stock Appreciation Right or Option, then Shares
not issued may not again become subject to Awards under the Plan.

dividend equivalents under any outstanding Award; (ii) any Award that is settled in cash rather than by issuance of Shares;
or (iii) Awards granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals
who become Employees as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the Company or
any Subsidiary (“Substitute Award”).

 

		4.4	Award Limits. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, (i) the aggregate
maximum number of Shares that may be granted to any one individual during any calendar year may not exceed 2,000,000 Shares (subject
to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Section 4.6) and (ii) the maximum amount of compensation that
may be paid under all Performance Awards denominated in cash (including the Fair Market Value of any Shares paid in satisfaction
of such Performance Awards) granted to any one individual during any calendar year may not exceed $2,000,000, and any payment due
with respect to a Performance Award shall be paid no later than 10 years after the date of grant of such Performance Award.
The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied in a manner that will permit Awards that are intended to provide
“performance-based” compensation for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code to satisfy the requirements of such
section, including, without limitation, counting against such maximum number of shares, to the extent required under section 162(m)
of the Code and applicable interpretive authority thereunder, any shares subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are
canceled or repriced.

 

		4.5	Source of Shares. The Company shall reserve for purposes of the Plan unissued Shares or
out of Shares held in the Company’s treasury, or partly out of each, such number of Shares as shall be determined by the
Board.

 

		4.6	Adjustments.

 

		(a)	Subdivision or Consolidation of Shares; Stock Dividends. The Shares with respect to which
Awards may be granted are shares of the Company’s common stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the
expiration of an Award theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or the payment of
a stock dividend on Shares without receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of Shares with respect to which such Award
may thereafter be exercised or satisfied, as applicable (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares,
shall be proportionately increased, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event
of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares, shall be proportionately reduced, and the purchase price per share shall be
proportionately increased. Any fractional share resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded up to the next whole share.

 

		(b)	Other Corporate Changes. The effect, if any, of any other corporate change, including, but
not limited to, a recapitalization or reclassification its capital stock, any other change in its capital structure, or a Change
in Control, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

		(c)	Limitations on the Foregoing Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment
in the Shares subject to outstanding Incentive Stock Options (including any adjustments in the purchase price) shall be made in
such a manner as not to constitute a modification as defined by Section 424 of the Code and only to the extent otherwise permitted
by Sections 422 and 424 of the Code. In addition, any such adjustment to outstanding Awards (i) that are subject to Section 409A
of the Code shall be made only to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and (ii) that are not subject to Section 409A
of the Code shall be made in a manner that will not result in the Award becoming subject to Section 409A of the Code.

 

	Section 5	ELIGIBILITY

 

Any Eligible Individual
shall be eligible to be selected as a Participant; provided, however, that only Employees may be granted Awards of
Incentive Stock Options.

 

    6

     

    

 

	Section 6	STOCK OPTIONS

 

Options may be granted
hereunder to Participants, either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan, the terms and conditions of which
shall be set forth in an Award Agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute the Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options,
and any other documents that the Committee may require, within the time period prescribed by the Committee at the time the Award
is granted, the Award shall be null and void. Any such Option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and to such
additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:

 

		6.1	Option Price. The exercise price per Share under an Option shall be determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion; provided that, except in the case of an Option pursuant to a Substitute Award, such purchase price shall
not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the grant of the Option (110% of the Fair Market Value in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder).

 

		6.2	Option Period. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee in its sole discretion;
provided that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years (five (5) years in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option issued to a Ten-Percent Stockholder) from the date the Option is granted except as provided under Section
13.

 

		6.3	Exercisability. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times as determined by the
Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may accelerate the time or
times at which an Option shall be exercisable in its sole discretion.

 

		6.4	Method of Exercise. The exercise of an Option shall be made only by a (i) written notice
delivered in person or by mail to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices, specifying the
number of Shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment therefor and otherwise in accordance with the Award Agreement pursuant
to which the Option was granted, or (ii) such other method as the Committee may permit. The purchase price for any Shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, in either: (xi) cash,
(xii) the transfer of Shares previously owned by the Participant for at least six months (or such period as the Committee
may deem appropriate, for accounting purposes or otherwise) to the Company upon such terms and conditions as determined by the
Committee, (xiii) through an open-market, broker-assisted sales transaction pursuant to which the Company is promptly delivered
the amount of proceeds necessary to satisfy the exercise price, or (xiv) by a combination of the methods described above.
Any Shares transferred to the Company as payment of the exercise price under an Option shall be valued at their Fair Market Value
on the date immediately prior to the date of exercise of such Option. No fractional Shares (or cash in lieu thereof) shall be issued
upon exercise of an Option, and the number of Shares that may be purchased upon exercise shall be rounded to the nearest number
of whole Shares. In addition, the Committee may permit any Option to be exercised without payment of the purchase price, in which
case the Company’s sole obligation shall be to issue to the Participant the same number of Shares as would have been issued
had such Option been Stock Appreciation Rights that are being exercised at the same time in respect of an identical number of Shares
in accordance with Section 7. In addition to and at the time of payment of the exercise price (or as a condition to the delivery
of any Shares without payment of the exercise price), the Participant shall pay to the Company the full amount of any and all applicable
income tax, employment tax and other amounts required to be withheld in connection with such exercise, using such of the methods
described above for the payment of the exercise price or such other methods as may be approved by the Committee and set forth in
the Award Agreement.

 

		6.5	Repricing Prohibited. Subject to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions contained in Section 4.6
hereof, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, given in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange
on which the Shares are listed for trading and applicable law, the Committee shall not cause the cancellation, substitution or
amendment of an Option that would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of such Option previously granted under the Plan,
or otherwise approve any modification to such Option that would be treated as a “repricing” under the then applicable
rules, regulations or listing requirements adopted by the stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading.

 

    7

     

    

 

		6.6	Form of Settlement. In its sole discretion, the Committee may provide, at the time of grant,
that the Shares to be issued upon an Option’s exercise shall be in the form of Restricted Stock or other similar securities.
Similarly, the Committee may require Shares to be held for a specific period of time.

 

		6.7	Non-Transferability. No Option shall be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and an Option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of such Participant only
by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may set forth in
the Award Agreement evidencing an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) at the time of grant or thereafter, that the Option
may be transferred to members of the Participant’s immediate family, to trusts solely for the benefit of such immediate family
members and to partnerships in which such family members and/or trusts are the only partners, and for purposes of this Plan, a
transferee of an Option shall be deemed to be the Participant. For this purpose, immediate family means the Participant’s
spouse, parents, children, stepchildren and grandchildren and the spouses of such parents, children, stepchildren and grandchildren.
The terms of an Option shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors
of the Participant.

 

		6.8	Additional Rules for Incentive Stock Options.

 

		(a)	Eligibility. An Incentive Stock Option may only be granted to an Employee who is considered
an employee for purposes of Treasury Regulation §1.421-7(h) with respect to the Company or its Parent or Subsidiary.

 

		(b)	Annual Limits. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to a Participant as a result of
which the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option) of the Shares with
respect to which incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code are exercisable for the first time in any calendar
year under the Plan and any other stock option plans of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent, would exceed $100,000, determined
in accordance with Section 422(d) of the Code. This limitation shall be applied by taking stock options into account in the
order in which granted.

 

		(c)	Termination of Employment. An Award of an Incentive Stock Option may provide that such Option
may be exercised not later than (i) three months following termination of employment of the Participant with the Company and
all Subsidiaries, (ii) one year following a permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code, or (iii) one year following the death of the Participant if the Participant died while an Employee or within three
months after termination of Employment, as and to the extent determined by the Committee to comply with the requirements of Section 422
of the Code.

 

		(d)	Other Terms and Conditions; Nontransferability. Any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder
shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as are deemed necessary or desirable
by the Committee, which terms, together with the terms of the Plan, shall be intended and interpreted to cause such Incentive Stock
Option to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Notwithstanding anything else
in this Section 6.8 to the contrary, an Award Agreement for an Incentive Stock Option may provide that such Option shall be
treated as a Non-qualified Stock Option to the extent that certain requirements applicable to “incentive stock options”
under the Code shall not be satisfied. An Incentive Stock Option shall by its terms be nontransferable other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by such Participant.

 

		(e)	Disqualifying Dispositions. If Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option
are disposed of within two years following the date of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option or one year following the transfer
of such shares to the Participant upon exercise, the Participant shall, promptly following such disposition, notify the Company
in writing of the date and terms of such disposition and provide such other information regarding the disposition as the Company
may reasonably require.

 

		6.9	Effect of a Change in Control. The effect of a Change in Control on an Option, if any, shall
be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

 

    8

     

    

 

	Section 7	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

The Committee may in its
discretion, either alone or in connection with the grant of an Option, grant Stock Appreciation Rights in accordance with the Plan,
the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Award Agreement. If a participant shall fail to execute the Award Agreement
evidencing an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights, and any other documents that the Committee may require, within the time period
prescribed by the Committee at the time the Award is granted, the Award shall be null and void. If granted in connection with an
Option, a Stock Appreciation Right shall cover the same Shares covered by the Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee
may determine) and shall, except as provided in this Section 7, be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Option.

 

		7.1	Time of Grant. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted (i) at any time if unrelated
to an Option, or (ii) if related to an Option, either at the time of grant or at any time thereafter during the term of the
Option.

 

		7.2	Stock Appreciation Right Related to an Option.

 

		(a)	Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option shall be exercisable
at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Options are exercisable, and will not be transferable except to the
extent the related Option may be transferable.

 

		(b)	Amount Payable. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right related to an Option, the
Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount determined by multiplying (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a
Share on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right over the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation
Right was granted, by (ii) the number of Shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee may limit in any manner the amount payable with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right by including
such a limit in the Award Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right at the time it is granted.

 

		(c)	Treatment of Related Options and Stock Appreciation Rights Upon Exercise. Upon the exercise
of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option, the Option shall be canceled to the extent of the number of
Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, and upon the exercise of an Option granted in connection with a Stock
Appreciation Right, the Stock Appreciation Right shall be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Option
is exercised or surrendered.

 

		7.3	Stock Appreciation Right Unrelated to an Option. The Committee may grant to Eligible Individuals
Stock Appreciation Rights unrelated to Options. Stock Appreciation Rights unrelated to Options shall contain such terms and conditions
as to exercisability, vesting and duration as the Committee shall determine, but in no event shall they have a term of greater
than 10 years other than in the event of the death or Disability of the Participant as set forth in Section 13. Upon exercise
of a Stock Appreciation Right unrelated to an Option, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount determined by multiplying
(a) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right over the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right was granted, by (b) the number of Shares as to which the
Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may limit in any manner the amount payable
with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right by including such a limit in the Award Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation
Right at the time it is granted.

 

		7.4	Non-Transferability. No Stock Appreciation Right shall be transferable by the Participant
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and such Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during the
lifetime of such Participant only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. The terms of such Stock Appreciation
Right shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant.

 

    9

     

    

 

		7.5	Method of Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised by a Participant only by
(i) a written notice delivered in person or by mail to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive
offices, specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised or (ii) such
other method as the Committee may permit.

 

		7.6	Form of Payment. Payment of the amount determined under Section 7.2 or 7.3 may be made
in the discretion of the Committee solely in whole Shares in a number determined at their Fair Market Value on the date immediately
prior to the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, or solely in cash, or in a combination of cash and Shares. If the
Committee decides to make full payment in Shares and the amount payable results in a fractional Share, payment for the fractional
Share will be made in cash.

 

		7.7	Effect of a Change in Control. The effect of a Change in Control on a Stock Appreciation
Right, if any, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

 

	Section 8	RESTRICTED STOCK

 

		8.1	Grants. Restricted Stock Awards may be issued hereunder to Participants either alone or
in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Awards shall be set forth in an
Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. Each Award Agreement shall contain such restrictions, which may include
such terms and conditions, including forfeiture provisions, as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine and (without limiting
the generality of the foregoing) such Award Agreements may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates.

 

		8.2	Purchase Price. The Committee may require the payment by the Participant of a specified
purchase price in connection with any Restricted Stock Award. Awards of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and provisions
set forth below in this Section 8.

 

		8.3	Rights of Participant. Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder
shall be issued in the name of the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted provided that the Participant
has executed an Award Agreement, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement
and any other documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such Shares. If a Participant shall fail
to execute the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of
the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require within the time period prescribed by
the Committee at the time the Award is granted, the Award shall be null and void. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares issued
in connection with a Restricted Stock Award shall be deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent (which may be
the Company) designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, as evidenced by the terms of the Award Agreement,
upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent, the Participant shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect
to such Shares, including no right to vote the Shares and no right to receive any dividends or other distributions paid or made
with respect to the Shares.

 

		8.4	Non-transferability. Until all restrictions upon and forfeiture provisions applicable to
the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall have lapsed in the manner set forth in Section 8.5, such Shares
shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated, nor shall they be delivered
to the Participant.

 

		8.5	Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon and forfeiture provisions applicable to Shares
of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.
The Award Agreement evidencing the Award shall set forth any such restrictions and conditions. The Committee may accelerate or
waive any or all of the restrictions and conditions applicable to any Award, for any reason.

 

    10

     

    

 

		8.6	Treatment of Dividends. If the terms of the Award Agreement expressly provide that the Participant
shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive
all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares, any dividends declared or paid on such Shares of
Restricted Stock shall be (a) deferred until the lapsing of the restrictions imposed upon and forfeiture provisions applicable
to such Shares and (b) held by the Company for the account of the Participant until such time. The Committee shall determine
whether such dividends are to be reinvested in Shares (which shall be held as additional Shares of Restricted Stock) or held in
cash. If deferred dividends are to be held in cash, there may be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest
on the amount of the account at a rate per annum as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Payment of deferred dividends
in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock (whether held in cash or as additional Shares of Restricted Stock), together with interest
accrued thereon, if any, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed upon and forfeiture provisions applicable to the
Shares in respect of which the deferred dividends were paid, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest accrued thereon)
in respect of any Shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such Shares.

 

		8.7	Delivery of Shares. Upon the lapse of the restrictions and forfeiture provisions on Shares
of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate or evidence of book entry Shares to be delivered to the Participant
with respect to such Shares, free of all restrictions hereunder.

 

		8.8	Effect of Change in Control. The effect of a Change in Control on an Award of Restricted
Stock, if any, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

 

	Section 9	PERFORMANCE AWARDS

 

		9.1	Performance Units. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Awards of Performance Units
to Eligible Individuals, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Award Agreement between the Company and the
Participant. Performance Units may be denominated in Shares or a specified dollar amount and, contingent upon the attainment of
specified Performance Objectives within the Performance Period, represent the right to receive payment subject to Section 9.3(c)
of (i) in the case of Share-denominated Performance Units, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Performance Unit
was granted, the date the Performance Unit becomes vested or any other date specified by the Committee; (ii) in the case of
dollar-denominated Performance Units, the specified dollar amount; or (iii) a percentage (which may be more than 100%) of
the amount described in clause (i) or (ii) depending on the level of Performance Objective attainment; provided,
however, that the Committee may at the time a Performance Unit is granted specify a maximum amount payable in respect of
a vested Performance Unit. If a participant shall fail to execute the Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Performance Units,
and any other document that the Committee may require, within the time period prescribed by the Committee at the time the Award
is granted, the Award shall be null and void. Each Award Agreement shall specify the number of Performance Units to which it related,
the Performance Objectives which must be satisfied in order for the Performance Units to vest and the Performance Period within
which such Performance Objectives must be satisfied.

 

		(a)	Vesting and Forfeiture. Subject to Section 9.3(c), a Participant shall become vested
with respect to the Performance Units to the extent that the Performance Objectives set forth in the Award Agreement are satisfied
for the Performance Period.

 

		(b)	Payment of Awards. Subject to Section 9.3(c), payment to Participants in respect of
vested Performance Units shall be made as soon as practicable after the last day of the Performance Period to which such Award
relates unless the Award Agreement evidencing the Award provides for the deferral of payment, in which event the terms and conditions
of the deferral shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. Such payments may be made entirely in Shares valued at the Fair Market
Value, entirely in cash, or in such combination of Shares and cash as the Committee in its discretion shall determine; provided,
however, that if the Committee in its discretion determines to make such payment entirely or partially in Shares of Restricted
Stock, the Committee must determine the extent to which such payment will be in Shares of Restricted Stock and the terms of such
Restricted Stock at the time the Award is granted.

 

		(c)	Non-transferability. Performance Units shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated.

 

    11

     

    

 

		9.2	Performance Shares. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Awards of Performance Shares
to Eligible Individuals with such terms and conditions including forfeiture provisions as the Committee shall determine and as
set forth in an Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates. Awards
of Performance Shares shall be subject to the following terms and provisions:

 

		(a)	Rights of Participant. The Committee shall provide at the time an Award of Performance Shares
is made the time or times at which the actual Shares represented by such Award shall be issued in the name of the Participant;
provided, however, that no Performance Shares shall be issued until the Participant has executed an Award Agreement
evidencing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other
documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such Performance Shares. If a Participant shall fail
to execute the Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Performance Shares, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion
of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require within the time period prescribed
by the Committee at the time the Award is granted, the Award shall be null and void. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares
issued in connection with an Award of Performance Shares shall be deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent
(which may be the Company) designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, as evidenced by the express
terms of the Award Agreement, upon delivery of the Performance Shares to the escrow agent, the Participant shall not have any of
the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Performance Shares, including no right to vote the Performance Shares and no right
to receive any dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Performance Shares.

 

		(b)	Non-transferability. Until all restrictions upon and forfeiture provisions applicable to
the Performance Shares awarded to a Participant shall have lapsed, such Shares shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated, nor shall they be delivered to the Participant. The Committee also may impose
such other restrictions and conditions on the Performance Shares, if any, as it deems appropriate.

 

		(c)	Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon and forfeiture provisions applicable to Performance
Shares awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. The
Award Agreement evidencing the Award shall set forth any such restrictions and conditions. The Committee may accelerate or waive
any or all of the restrictions and conditions applicable to any Award, for any reason.

 

		(d)	Treatment of Dividends. . If the terms of the Award Agreement expressly provide that the
Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Performance Shares, including the right to vote
the Performance Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Performance Shares,
any dividends declared or paid on Performance Shares shall be (a) deferred until the lapsing of the restrictions imposed upon
and forfeiture provisions applicable to such Shares and (b) held by the Company for the account of the Participant until such
time. The Committee shall determine whether such dividends are to be reinvested in Shares (which shall be held as additional Performance
Shares) or held in cash. If deferred dividends are to be held in cash, there may be credited at the end of each year (or portion
thereof) interest on the amount of the account at a rate per annum as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Payment
of deferred dividends in respect of Performance Shares (whether held in cash or as additional Performance Shares), together with
interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed upon and forfeiture provisions applicable
to the Shares in respect of which the deferred dividends were paid, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest accrued
thereon) in respect of any Performance Shares shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such Shares.

 

		(e)	Delivery of Shares. Upon the lapse of the restrictions on and forfeiture provisions applicable
to Performance Shares awarded hereunder, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate or evidence of book entry Shares to be delivered
to the Participant with respect to such Shares, free of all restrictions hereunder.

 

    12

     

    

 

		9.3	Performance Objectives.

 

		(a)	Establishment. Performance objectives (“Performance Objectives”) for
Performance Awards may be expressed in terms of (i) earnings per share, (ii) Share price, (iii) consolidated net
income, (iv) pre-tax profits, (v) earnings or net earnings, (vi) return on equity or assets, (vii) sales, (viii) cash
flow from operating activities, (ix) return on invested capital, (x) other Company-specific growth or profit objectives
as determined by the Committee, or (xi) any combination of the foregoing. Performance Objectives may be in respect of the
performance of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of its divisions or any combination thereof. Performance Objectives may
be absolute or relative (to prior performance of the Company or to the performance of one or more other entities or external indices)
and may be expressed in terms of a progression within a specified range. The Performance Objectives with respect to an Award that
is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation shall be established in writing by the Committee by the earlier of (1) the
date on which a quarter of the Performance Period has elapsed or (2) the date which is 90 days after the commencement
of the Performance Period, and in any event while the performance relating to the Performance Objectives remains substantially
uncertain.

 

		(b)	Effect of Certain Events. At the time of the granting of an Award, or at any time thereafter,
in either case to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder without adversely affecting
the treatment of any Award intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may provide for the manner in which
the performance will be measured against the Performance Objectives (or may adjust the Performance Objectives) to reflect the impact
of specified events, including any one or more of the following with respect to the Performance Period (i) the gain, loss,
income or expense resulting from changes in accounting principles that become effective during the Performance Period; (ii) the
gain, loss, income or expense reported publicly by the Company with respect to the Performance Period that are extraordinary or
unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence; (iii) the gains or losses resulting from and the direct expenses incurred in
connection with, the disposition of a business, or the sale of investments or non-core assets; (iv) the gain or loss from
all or certain claims and/or litigation and all or certain insurance recoveries relating to claims or litigation; (v) the
impact of impairment of tangible or intangible assets, including goodwill; (vi) the impact of restructuring or business recharacterization
activities, including but not limited to reductions in force, that are reported publicly by the Company; or (vii) the impact
of investments or acquisitions made during the year or, to the extent provided by the Committee, any prior year. The events may
relate to the Company as a whole or to any part of the Company’s business or operations, as determined by the Committee at
the time the Performance Objectives are established. Any adjustments based on the effect of certain events are to be determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and standards, unless another objective method of measurement is designated
by the Committee.

 

		(c)	Determination of Performance. Prior to the vesting, payment, settlement or lapsing of any
restrictions with respect to any Performance Award that is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee
shall certify that the applicable Performance Objectives have been satisfied to the extent necessary for such Award to qualify
as Performance-Based compensation.

 

		9.4	Effect of Change in Control. The effect of a Change in Control on a Performance Award, if
any, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

 

	Section 10	SHARE AWARDS

 

The Committee may grant
a Share Award to any Eligible Individual on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. Share
Awards may be made as additional compensation for services rendered by the Eligible Individual or may be in lieu of cash or other
compensation to which the Eligible Individual is entitled from the Company.

 

    13

     

    

 

	Section 11	PHANTOM STOCK AWARDS

 

		11.1	Phantom Stock Awards. Phantom Stock Awards are rights to receive an amount equal to any
appreciation or increase in the Fair Market Value of Shares over a specified period of time, which vest over a period of time as
established by the Committee, without satisfaction of any performance criteria or objectives. The Committee may, in its discretion,
require payment or other conditions of the Participant respecting any Phantom Stock Award.

 

		11.2	Award Period. The Committee shall establish, with respect to and at the time of each Phantom
Stock Award, a period over which the Award shall vest with respect to the Participant.

 

		11.3	Awards Criteria. In determining the value of Phantom Stock Awards, the Committee shall take
into account a Participant’s responsibility level, performance, potential, other Awards, and such other considerations as
it deems appropriate.

 

		11.4	Payment. Following the end of the vesting period for a Phantom Stock Award (or at such other
time as the applicable Phantom Stock Award Agreement may provide), the holder of a Phantom Stock Award shall be entitled to receive
payment of an amount, not exceeding the maximum value of the Phantom Stock Award, based on the then vested value of the Award.
Payment of a Phantom Stock Award may be made in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Payment
shall be made in a lump sum or in installments as prescribed by the Committee. Any payment to be made in cash shall be based on
the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the payment date or such other date as may be specified by the Committee in the Phantom
Stock Award Agreement. Cash dividend equivalents may be paid during or after the vesting period with respect to a Phantom Stock
Award, as determined by the Committee.

 

		11.5	Termination of Award. A Phantom Stock Award shall terminate if the Participant does not
remain continuously in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries or does not continue to perform services as a consultant or
a director for the Company or its Subsidiaries at all times during the applicable vesting period, except as may be otherwise determined
by the Committee.

 

		11.6	Phantom Stock Award Agreements. At the time any Award is made under this Paragraph X,
the Company and the Participant shall enter into a Phantom Stock Award Agreement setting forth each of the matters contemplated
hereby and such additional matters as the Committee may determine to be appropriate. The terms and provisions of the respective
Phantom Stock Award Agreements need not be identical.

 

		11.7	Effect of Change in Control. The effect of a Change in Control on a Phantom Stock Award,
if any, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

 

	Section 12	EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

 

Subject to the terms of
an Agreement in connection with (a) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (b) a merger, consolidation or reorganization
of the Company (a “Transaction”), either (i) each outstanding Option or Award shall be treated as provided
for in the agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction or (ii) if not so provided in such agreement, following
the Transaction each Optionee and Grantee shall be entitled to receive in respect of each Share subject to any outstanding Options
or Awards, as the case may be, upon exercise of any Option or payment or transfer in respect of any Award, the same number and
kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration that each holder of a Share was entitled to receive in the Transaction
in respect of a Share; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such stock,
securities, cash, property, or other consideration shall remain subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance
criteria which were applicable to the Options and Awards prior to such Transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the treatment of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to this Section 12 in connection with a Transaction
may include the cancellation of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights upon consummation of the Transaction provided
either (x) the holders of affected Options and Stock Appreciation Rights have been given a period of at least 15 days
prior to the date of the consummation of the Transaction to exercise the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (whether or not they
were otherwise exercisable) or (y) the holders of the affected Options and Stock Appreciation Rights are paid (in cash or
cash equivalents) in respect of each Share covered by the Option or Stock Appreciation Right being cancelled an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of the per share price paid or distributed to stockholders in the Transaction (the value of any non-cash consideration
to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) over the exercise price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right. For
avoidance of doubt, (1) the cancellation of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding
sentence may be effected notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan or any Agreement and (2) if the amount
determined pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding sentence is zero or less, the affected Option or Stock Appreciation Right
may be cancelled without any payment therefor.

	Section 13	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, DIRECTORSHIP OR CONSULTANCY; DEATH OR DISABILITY

 

Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee:

 

		(a)	If the employment, directorship or consultancy of a Participant with the Company is terminated
for Cause, all the rights of such Participant under any then outstanding Award shall terminate immediately, regardless of whether
or not such Award is then vested.

 

		(b)	If the employment, directorship or consultancy of the Participant is terminated for any reason
other than for Cause, death or Disability:

 

		(i)	Any outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable by such Participant
or a personal representative at any time prior to the expiration date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right or within three
months after the date of such termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only to the extent the Option or Stock Appreciation
Right was exercisable at the date of termination.

 

		(ii)	Any Shares of Restricted Stock or Performance Awards with respect to which restrictions shall not
have lapsed shall thereupon be forfeited immediately by the Participant and returned to the Company, and the Participant shall
only receive the amount, if any, paid by the Participant for such Awards; provided that the Committee may determine, in its sole
discretion, in the case of a termination of employment other than for Cause, that the restrictions on some or all of such Awards
then held by the Participant shall immediately lapse.

 

		(c)	In the event of Disability or death of a Participant:

 

		(i)	All outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of such Participant then outstanding shall
become immediately exercisable in full. In the event of death of a Participant, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of such
Participant shall be exercisable by the person or the persons to whom those rights pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
or, if appropriate, by the legal representative of the estate of the deceased Participant at any time within two (2) years
after the date of death, regardless of the expiration date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, except for Incentive Stock
Options which may not be exercised later than provided in Section 6.8(c) hereof. In the event of Disability of any Participant,
all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of such Participant shall be exercisable by the Participant, or, if incapacitated, by
a legal representative at any time within two (2) years of the date of determination of Disability regardless of the expiration
date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, except for Incentive Stock Options which may not be exercised later than provided
in Section 6.8(c) hereof.

 

		(ii)	Any restriction and other conditions applicable to any Shares of Restricted Stock or Performance
Awards then held by the Participant, including, but not limited to, vesting requirements, shall immediately lapse.

 

    15

     

    

 

	Section 14	AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION

 

The Board may amend, alter
or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant
under an Award theretofore granted, without the Participant’s consent, or that without the approval of the Company’s
stockholders would:

 

		(a)	except as is provided in Section 4.6 of the Plan, increase the total number of Shares reserved
for the purpose of the Plan; or

 

		(b)	change the class of Eligible Individuals eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

	Section 15	INTERPRETATION

 

		15.1	Section 16 Compliance. The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act and the Committee shall interpret and administer the provisions of the Plan or any Agreement in a manner consistent
therewith. Any provisions inconsistent with such Rule shall be inoperative and shall not affect the validity of the Plan.

 

		15.2	Section 162(m). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant,
each Option, Stock Appreciation Right and Performance Award granted to an Eligible Individual that is also a Covered Employee is
intended to be Performance Based Compensation. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any provision of the Plan or any
Agreement relating to an Option or Award that is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation does not comply or is inconsistent
with Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder (including IRS Regulation § 1.162-27), such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements, and no provision shall
be deemed to confer upon the Committee discretion to increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable in connection with any
such Option or Award upon the attainment of the Performance Objectives.

 

		15.3	Compliance With Section 409A. All Options and Awards granted under the Plan are intended
either not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or, if subject to Section 409A of the Code, to be administered,
operated and construed in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and any guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding this
or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or any Option or Award granted hereunder in
any manner, or take any other action that it determines, in its sole discretion, is necessary, appropriate or advisable (including
replacing any Option or Award) to cause the Plan or any Option or Award granted hereunder to comply with Section 409A and
any guidance issued thereunder or to not be subject to Section 409A. Any such action, once taken, shall be deemed to be effective
from the earliest date necessary to avoid a violation of Section 409A and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Eligible
Individuals and other individuals having or claiming any right or interest under the Plan.

 

	Section 16	GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

		16.1	The term of each Award shall be for such period of months or years from the date of its grant as
may be determined by the Committee; provided that, except as provided in Section 13, in no event shall the term of any Option or
any Stock Appreciation Right related to any Option exceed a period of 10 years from the date of its grant.

 

		16.2	No Employee or Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan and there
is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Employees or Participants under the Plan.

 

		16.3	The prospective recipient of any Award under the Plan shall not, with respect to such Award, be
deemed to have become a Participant, or to have any rights with respect to such Award, until and unless such recipient shall have
complied with the then applicable terms and conditions of such Award.

 

		16.4	All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to
such stock-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 Shares are then listed, and any applicable Federal
or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

 

    16

     

    

 

		16.5	Except as otherwise required in any applicable Award Agreement or by the terms of the Plan, recipients
of Awards under the Plan shall not be required to make any payment or provide consideration other than the rendering of services.

 

		16.6	The Committee is authorized to establish procedures pursuant to which the payment of any Award
may be deferred.

 

		16.7	The Company is authorized to withhold from any Award granted or payment due under the Plan the
amount of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award or payment hereunder and to take such other action as may be necessary in
the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. The Committee shall be authorized to establish
procedures for election by Participants to satisfy such withholding taxes by delivery of, or directing the Company to retain Shares.
The Company will not issue Shares or Awards until such tax obligations have been satisfied.

 

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

 

		16.9	The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the
Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable Federal law.

 

		16.10	If any provision of this Plan is or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
relevant jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision
shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the
determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan
shall remain in full force and effect.
