	Indemnification

	Indemnification by IRTC. IRTC hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Verily, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Verily Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Losses arising in connection with any and all Third Party Claims against the Verily Indemnitees arising from or relating to [***].

		
	9.2
	Indemnification by Verily. Verily hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold IRTC, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “IRTC Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Losses arising in connection with any and all Third Party Claims against the IRTC Indemnitees arising from or relating to [***].

		
	9.3
	Indemnification Procedures.

		
	(a)
	Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of any indemnitee seeking indemnity under Section 9.1 (Indemnification by IRTC) or Section 9.2 (Indemnification by Verily), as applicable (collectively, the “Indemnitees” and each, an “Indemnitee”) will be made solely by the corresponding Party (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses and any Third Party Claim initiated against the Indemnified Party as to which the Indemnified Party intends to make a request for indemnification under Section 9.1 (Indemnification by IRTC) or Section 9.2 (Indemnification by Verily), as applicable. Each Indemnification Claim Notice will contain a description of the Third Party Claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). Together with the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices, materials and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim or otherwise related to the allegation that preceded the indemnification claim.

		
	(b)
	Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 9.1 (Indemnification by IRTC) or Section 9.2 (Indemnification by Verily), as applicable, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party must tender sole control of the indemnified portion of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, subject to this Section 9.3(b), Section 9.3(d) (Settlement) and the following: (a) the Indemnified Party has the right to approve controlling counsel, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (and which approval may be withheld or withdrawn if there is a conflict of interest) and (b) the Indemnified Party may appoint its own non-controlling counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party will defend such Third Party Claim in good faith and the Indemnified Party will provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in defending the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (and continue to defend such Third Party Claim in good faith), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense, or settlement of the Third Party Claim, unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and engage counsel in accordance with this Section 9.3 (Indemnification Procedures). In the event that (a) there is any delay in providing an Indemnification Claim Notice or (b) the Indemnified Party does not cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in defending the Third Party Claim, then in each case (a) or (b), if the delay or omissions materially prejudice the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Section 9.3(b) will be reduced in proportion to the prejudice.

		
	(c)
	Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 9.3(b) (Control of Defense), any Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has sought indemnification hereunder and to engage counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such engagement will be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless (i) the engagement thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense (or continue to defend such Third Party Claim in good faith) and engage counsel in accordance with this Section 9.3 (Indemnification Procedures), in which case, the Indemnified Party will be allowed to control the defense. In no event will the Indemnifying Party be obligated to pay for more than one Indemnitee counsel at any given time (excluding a change in counsel where representation by both counsels does not run in parallel) in connection with a given Third Party Claim; provided that local counsel engaged by controlling counsel for a discrete legal issue will not be considered an additional counsel for purposes of this Section 9.3(c).

		
	(d)
	Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnitee becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnitee in any manner, the Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement, or otherwise dispose of such Losses, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its reasonable discretion, will deem appropriate (provided, however, that such terms will include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto), and will transfer to the Indemnified Party all amounts that said Indemnified Party will be liable to pay prior to the time of the entry of judgment. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b) (Control of Defense), then the Indemnifying Party will have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement, or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided that the Indemnifying Party obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party that has assumed the defense of (and continues to defend) the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b) (Control of Defense) will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written consent of such Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnitee will admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise, or discharge, any Third Party Claim without first offering to the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b) (Control of Defense).

		
	(e)
	Cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will, and will cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records, information, and testimony, provide such witnesses, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its documented, reasonable external expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.

		
	(f)
	Expenses of the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim will be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

		
	9.4
	DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT FOR (A) LOSSES SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION BY ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 9.1 (INDEMNIFICATION BY IRTC) OR SECTION 9.2 (INDEMNIFICATION BY VERILY), (B) BREACH OF SECTION 6 (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; DATA), OR SECTION 7 (CONFIDENTIALITY), OR (C) A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS OR LOST REVENUES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

The non-breaching Party’s failure to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement for one material breach will not prejudice its rights to terminate for any subsequent material breach. All applicable statutes of limitations, time-based defenses, and cure periods hereunder will be tolled during the pendency of any Dispute, including any dispute regarding whether a Party has materially breached this Agreement.

		
	10.4
	Termination by Mutual Agreement. The Parties may mutually agree in writing to terminate this Agreement at any time.

	10.8
	Rights in Bankruptcy.

		
	(a)
	All rights and licenses now or hereafter granted by one Party to the other Party under or under this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 6.2 (Ownership of Developed IP), Section 6.3 (Development License to Verily), Section 6.4 (Development License to IRTC), Section 6.5 (AF Algorithm Licenses), Section 6.8 (Data License to Verily), or Section 6.9 (Data License to IRTC), are for all purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 10.2 (Termination for Bankruptcy) with respect to the Party licensing such rights to intellectual property (“Licensor”), Licensor agrees that the other Party (“Licensee”), as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties intend and agree that any sale of Licensor’s assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code will be subject to Licensee’s rights under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, that Licensee cannot be compelled to accept a money satisfaction of its interests in the intellectual property licensed under this Agreement, and that any such sale therefore may not be made to a purchaser “free and clear” of Licensee’s rights under this Agreement and Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code without the express, contemporaneous consent of Licensee. Further, each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments by IRTC to Verily hereunder or under any ancillary agreement hereto do not constitute royalties within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder. Licensor will, during the term of this Agreement, create and maintain current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property. Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree that “embodiments” of intellectual property within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code include product prototypes, inventory, Study Data, Zio Service Data, and other data, Regulatory Approvals, Reimbursement Approvals, algorithms, software, hardware, prototypes, models, devices, components, and accessories. If (i) a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against Licensor, (ii) this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) Licensee elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, Licensor (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) will:

		
	(i)
	provide to Licensee all such Intellectual Property Rights, Study Data, and Historical Zio Service Data (including all embodiments thereof) then licensed to Licensee hereunder held by Licensor and such successors and assigns, or otherwise available to them, immediately upon Licensee’s written request. Whenever Licensor or any of its successors or assigns provides to Licensee any of the Licensed IP (or any embodiment thereof) pursuant to this Section 10.8 (Rights in Bankruptcy), Licensee will have the right to perform Licensor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Intellectual Property Rights, Study Data, and Historical Zio Service Data, but neither such provision nor such performance by Licensee will release Licensor from liability resulting from rejection of the license or the failure to perform such obligations; and

		
	(ii)
	not interfere with Licensee’s rights under this Agreement, or any agreement supplemental hereto, to such Intellectual Property Rights, Study Data, and Historical  Zio Service Data (including such embodiments), including any right to obtain such Intellectual Property Rights, Study Data, and Historical Zio Service Data (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

		
	(b)
	All rights, powers, and remedies of Licensee provided herein are in intended to be consistent with any and all other rights, powers, and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Licensor. The Parties agree that they intend the following rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law, and to be enforceable under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code:

		
	(i)
	the right of access to any Intellectual Property Rights (including all embodiments thereof) of Licensor, or any Third Party with whom Licensor contracts to perform an obligation of Licensor under this Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, that are necessary for the exercise of the licenses granted herein.

		
	10.9
	Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any obligations accruing prior to the effective date of expiration or termination. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement will not preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. The rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 6.2 (Ownership of Developed IP), Section 6.5 (AF Algorithm Licenses), Section 6.6 (Performance by Affiliates), Section 6.7 (Data Ownership), Section 6.8(b) (Data License to Verily), Section 6.9 (Data License to IRTC), Section 6.10 (Patent Prosecution), Section 7 (Confidentiality), Section 9 (Indemnification), Section 10.7 (Effects of Termination), Section 10.8 (Bankruptcy), and this Section 10.9 (Survival), Section 11 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution), and Section 12 (Miscellaneous), will survive any such termination or expiration.

	11.4
	Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding Section 11.2 (Dispute Resolution), nothing contained in this Agreement will deny any Party the right to seek preliminary or emergency temporary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 11.2 (Jurisdiction), and an action for such particular purpose may be filed and maintained prior to the initiation of any arbitration pursuant to Section 11.2 (Dispute Resolution).

		
	12.
	Miscellaneous

		
	12.1
	Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable or responsible to the other Party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by acts of God; flood, fire, earthquake, or explosion; war, terrorism, invasion, riot, or other civil unrest; embargoes or blockades; or national or regional emergency (each, a “Force Majeure Event”); provided, in each case, that (a) such Force Majeure Event is outside the reasonable control of the affected Party; (b) the affected Party provides prompt notice to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue; and (c) the affected Party uses diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event.

Any notice or notification required or permitted to be provided under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) upon receipt if delivered personally, (b) five days after deposited in the mail if mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) postage prepaid, or (c) on the next Business Day if sent by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized express courier service and specifying next Business Day delivery (receipt verified), to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address as a Party may specify by like notice, provided, however, that notices of a change of address will be effective only upon receipt thereof):

      DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

      

      

      As of October 31, 2019, Photronics, Inc. (the “Company”) has two classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (2) our preferred stock purchase rights, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of
        series A preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $33.63, subject to adjustment (the “Rights”).

      

      

      Common Stock

      

      

      Voting Rights

      

      

      The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders. At a meeting
        of shareholders at which a quorum is present, a majority of the voting power of the shares represented decides all questions, unless the matter is one upon which, by express provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended, the
        by-laws or statute, a different vote is required. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares can elect all the directors if they choose to do so, and in such
        event, the holders of the remaining shares would not be able to elect any directors.

      

      

      Dividend Rights

      

      

      The holders of Common Stock are entitled to such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Company's board of directors in its
        discretion out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock, if any, then outstanding.

      

      

      Liquidation Rights

      

      

      In the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all
        assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to the priority of Preferred Stock, if any, then outstanding.

      

      

      Other Rights and Preferences

      

      

      The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights, nor are there any redemption rights provisions with respect to Common Stock.

      

      

      Listing

      

      

      The Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “PLAB.”

      

      

      
        1

        
          

      

      Rights

      

      

      General

      

      

      Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without
        limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. In connection with the distribution of the Rights, the Company entered into a Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of September 23, 2019, between the Company and
        Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as rights agent. The Rights are in all respects subject to and governed by the provisions of the Rights Agreement.

      

      

      Initially, the Rights will be attached to all Common Stock certificates (or other evidence of book-entry or other uncertificated
        ownership) and no separate certificates evidencing the Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be issued. Until the Distribution Date (as defined below), the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Stock. As long as the Rights are
        attached to the Common Stock, the Company will issue one (1) Right with each new share of Common Stock so that all such shares of Common Stock will have Rights attached (subject to certain limited exceptions).

      

      

      The Rights will separate and begin trading separately from the Common Stock, and Right Certificates will be caused to evidence the
        Rights, on the earlier to occur of (i) the Close of Business (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) on the tenth day following a public announcement, or the public disclosure of facts indicating (or the Company's Board of Directors
        becoming aware), that a Person or group of affiliated or associated Persons has acquired Beneficial Ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Stock (an “Acquiring Person”) (or, in the event that the Board of Directors determines to effect
        an exchange in accordance with Section 24 of the Rights Agreement and the Board of Directors determines that a later date is advisable, then such later date) and (ii) the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Business Day (as such term is defined
        in the Rights Agreement) (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or the first public announcement of the intention to
        commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the Beneficial Ownership by a Person or group of 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Stock (the earlier of such dates, the “Distribution Date”). As soon as
        practicable after the Distribution Date, unless the Rights are recorded in book-entry or other uncertificated form, the Company will prepare and cause the Right Certificates to be sent to each record holder of Common Stock as of the Distribution
        Date.

      

      

                An “Acquiring Person” will not include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) of
          the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any entity holding Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit plan or (v) any Person who or which, together with all
          Affiliates and Associates (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement) of such Person, at the time of the first public announcement of the Rights Agreement, is a Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding (a
          “Grandfathered Stockholder”). However, if a Grandfathered Stockholder becomes, after such time, the Beneficial Owner of any additional shares of Common Stock (regardless of whether, thereafter or as a result thereof, there is an increase, decrease or no change in the percentage of Common Stock then outstanding Beneficially Owned (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) by
          such Grandfathered Stockholder) then such Grandfathered Stockholder shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person unless, upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional shares of Common Stock, such person is not the Beneficial Owner of
          4.9% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding. In addition, upon the first decrease of a Grandfathered Stockholder’s Beneficial Ownership below 4.9%, such Grandfathered Stockholder will no longer be deemed to be a Grandfathered Stockholder.
          In the event that after the time of the first public announcement of the Rights Agreement, any agreement, arrangement or understanding pursuant to which any Grandfathered Stockholder is deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of Common Stock expires,
          is settled in whole or in part, terminates or no longer confers any benefit to or imposes any obligation on the Grandfathered Stockholder, any direct or indirect replacement, extension or substitution of such agreement, arrangement or
          understanding with respect to the same or different Common Stock that confers Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock shall be considered the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Stock by the Grandfathered Stockholder and render
          such Grandfathered Stockholder an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights Agreement unless, upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional shares of Common Stock, such person is not the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the
          Common Stock then outstanding.

      

      

      
        2

        
          

      

      “Beneficial Ownership” is defined in the Rights Agreement to include any securities (i) which a Person or any of such Person’s
        Affiliates or Associates (a) actually owns (directly or indirectly) or would be deemed to actually or constructively own for purposes of Section 382 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement)
        promulgated thereunder, including any coordinated acquisition of securities by any Persons who have a formal or informal understanding with respect to such acquisition (to the extent ownership of such securities would be attributed to such Persons
        under Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), (b) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 or 13d-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (c) has the right or ability to
        vote, or the right to acquire, pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (except under limited circumstances), (ii) which are directly or indirectly Beneficially Owned by any other Person with which a Person has any agreement,
        arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding or voting such securities, or obtaining, changing or influencing control of the Company or (iii) in respect of which a Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has a
        derivative position which is capable of being settled, in whole or in part, through delivery of cash or Common Stock (whether on a required or optional basis, and whether such settlement may occur immediately or only after the passage of time, the
        occurrence of conditions, the satisfaction of regulatory requirements or otherwise). In addition, Persons are not deemed to be part of a group that would constitute an Acquiring Person based on participation in discussions, negotiations or
        transactions with another Person for the purposes of restructuring the Company’s debt.

      

      

      The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on the earliest to occur of (i) the Close of
        Business on the day following the certification of the voting results of the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, if at such stockholder meeting a proposal to approve the Rights Agreement has not been passed by the affirmative vote of the
        majority of the votes cast at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders or any other meeting of stockholders of the Company duly held prior to September 22, 2020, (ii) the date on which the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that (x) the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of material valuable Tax Attributes or (y) the Tax Attributes have been fully utilized and
        may no longer be carried forward and (iii) the Close of Business on September 22, 2022 (the “Final Expiration Date”).

      

      

      
        3

        
          

      

       Exempt Persons and Transactions

      

      

      The Board of Directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine that a Person is exempt from the Rights Agreement (an
        “Exempt Person”), so long as such determination is made prior to such time as such Person becomes an Acquiring Person. Any Person will cease to be an Exempt Person if the Board of Directors makes a contrary determination with respect to such Person
        regardless of the reason therefor. In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, exempt any transaction from triggering the Rights Agreement, so long as the determination in respect of such exemption is made prior to
        such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person. Any Person, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, who proposes to acquire 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Stock may apply to the Board of Directors in advance for an
        exemption in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement.

      

      

      Flip-in Event

      

      

      If a Person or group becomes an Acquiring Person at any time after the date of the Rights Agreement (with certain limited exceptions),
        the Rights will become exercisable for shares of Common Stock having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. From and after the announcement that any Person has become an Acquiring Person, if the Rights evidenced by a Right
        Certificate are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person, such Rights shall become void, and any holder of such Rights shall thereafter have no right to exercise such Rights.
        If the Board of Directors so elects, the Company may deliver upon payment of the exercise price of a Right an amount of cash, securities or other property equivalent in value to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Right.

      

      

      Exchange

      

      

      At any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by
        any Person which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of two shares of Common Stock per Right (subject to adjustment). The Company may issue, transfer or deposit such Common Stock (or other property as permitted under the
        Rights Agreement) to or into a trust or other entity created upon such terms as the Board of Directors may determine and may direct that all holders of Rights receive such Common Stock or other property only from the trust. In the event the Board
        of Directors determines, before the Distribution Date, to effect an exchange, the Board of Directors may delay the occurrence of the Distribution Date to such time as it deems advisable.

      

      

       Flip-over Event

      

      

      If, at any time after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, (i) the Company consolidates with, or merges with, any other Person (or any
        Person consolidates with, or merges with, the Company) and, in connection with such consolidation or merger, all or part of the Common Stock are or will be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any
        other property, or (ii) 50% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or Earning Power (as defined in the Rights Agreement) is sold, then proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive,
        upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of Common Stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

      

      

      
        4

        
          

      

      Redemption

      

      

      At any time prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) day following the Stock Acquisition Date (as
        defined in the Rights Agreement) (or, if the tenth day following the Stock Acquisition Date occurs before the Record Date, the Close of Business on the Record Date) and (ii) the Final Expiration Date, the Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in
        whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.0001 per Right (the “Redemption Price”). The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may
        establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.

      

      

      Amendment

      

      

      The terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of Directors without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that from and
        after such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights (other than the Acquiring Person and its Affiliates and Associates).

      

      

      Preferred Stock Rights

      

      

      Each one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to the same dividends and liquidation rights as if
        the holder held one share of Common Stock and will be treated the same as Common Stock in the event of a merger, consolidation or other share exchange.
