AWARD TERMS OF
PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED UNDER THE
			
	CORTEVA, INC. 2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
FOR GRANTEES LOCATED IN THE U.S. (OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA)

Introduction    You have been granted performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) under the Corteva, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Plan”), subject to the following Award Terms.  This grant is also subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference.  However, to the extent that an Award Term conflicts with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in these Award Terms, including any appendices to these Award Terms (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the “Agreement”).  A copy of the Plan, and other Plan-related materials, such as the Plan prospectus, are available at: www.benefits.ml.com 

						
	Grant Award Acceptance	You must expressly accept the terms and conditions of your Award as set forth in this Agreement.  To accept, log on to Merrill Lynch Benefits OnLine at www.benefits.ml.com, select Equity Plan > Grant Information > Pending Acceptance.  If you do not accept your Units in the manner instructed by the Company, your Units will be subject to cancellation. 

Date of Grant    [DATE] (“Date of Grant”)

Type of Award    Units

Dividend Equivalents    Dividends payable on the Shares represented by your Units (including whole and fractional Units) will be allocated to your account in the form of Units based upon the closing Share price on the date of the dividend payment.  Such Units will be subject to the vesting terms set forth below and all other terms set forth in the Agreement.  Dividend equivalent units will be determined after the end of the applicable performance period (“Performance Period”) and credited to your account at that time based on the performance-adjusted number of Units in your account.  Dividend equivalent units will be calculated by taking the final performance-adjusted Units and calculating the dividend equivalent units for the first dividend payment date for the Performance Period.  The resulting number of dividend equivalent units from the first dividend payment date will be added to the final performance-adjusted number of Units before calculating the dividend equivalent units for the second dividend payment date during the Performance Period.  This process will be repeated for each subsequent dividend payment date during the Performance Period.

Performance Period    January 1, 20XX – December 31, 20XX [three calendar years]

			
	

    1

Vesting Terms    You may not sell, gift, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Units. 

If you remain an active employee from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Performance Period, you will vest in the number of Units that become eligible to vest, if any, based on the achievement of the goals set forth in the Performance Metrics section set forth below.  Except as set forth below, if you terminate employment after the Date of Grant but prior to the last day of the Performance Period, unvested Units will be forfeited.  

Performance Metrics    The total number of Units subject to the Award that will be eligible to vest will be based upon the attainment level of the performance goals related to the Company’s (a) Return on Net Assets (“RONA”) (as defined below) and (b) Operating Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Growth (as defined below), in each case, during the Performance Period.  The performance attainment level and percent of target payout will be determined independently for each metric, and the two metrics will be weighted differently in determining the final total number of Units that are eligible to vest (the “Final Award”).  The RONA performance goal is weighted at 50% and the Operating EPS Growth performance goal is weighted at 50%.

    The Final Award is the sum of the following two elements:
															
	RONA Payout %
 x Target Award 
x 50%
	+	Operating EPS Growth Payout % 
x Target Award 
x 50%
	=	Final Award

    The RONA Payout % and the Operating EPS Growth Payout % are set out below under the headings “RONA Payout % Schedule” and “Operating EPS Growth Payout %” below.

1.RONA Goal

“RONA” is equal to Operating Earnings after Tax divided by Net Working Capital (“NWC”) plus net property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”). Descriptions for these components are provided below.

The attainment level of the RONA goal will be measured by adding the RONA that is attained for each of the three fiscal years contained in the Performance Period and dividing this number by three (i.e., average RONA attained over the Performance Period).

“Operating Earnings after Tax” means net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company, including the after-tax impact of significant items (including goodwill impairment charges), non-operating benefits - net, and amortization of intangible assets. 

“NWC” means current assets less current liabilities

	Performance	RONA Average
(%)	RONA Payout %
	Below Threshold		0%
	Threshold		50%
	Target		100%
	Maximum		200%

    *Interim points are interpolated on a straight-line basis

•Based on the table above, the Company’s average RONA during the Performance Period is translated into a percentage payout (of the target) for 50% of the Units subject to the Award.

2.Operating EPS Growth Goal

“Operating Earnings Per Share” means, for a fiscal year within the Performance Period, Pro forma Operating Earnings (defined above), divided by the Diluted Shares Outstanding, rounded to the first decimal place.

“Diluted Shares Outstanding” means the number of Shares that are outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of the last day of the fiscal year contained in the Performance Period, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K.

“Operating EPS Growth” for each of the fiscal years contained in the Performance Period shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Operating EPS Growth = A / B x 100, where:

A =     Operating Earnings Per Share as reported at the end of a fiscal year, minus Operating Earnings Per Share as reported at the end of the prior fiscal year

B =     A / Operating Earnings Per Share as reported at the end of the prior fiscal year 

The attainment level of the Operating EPS Growth goal will be measured by adding the Operating EPS Growth for each of the fiscal years that is contained in the Performance Period and dividing this number by 3 (i.e., average Operating EPS Growth over the Performance Period).
The payout percentage for each of the Performance Period will be determined in accordance with the Operating EPS Growth Payout Percentage Schedule set forth below. 

                Operating EPS Growth Payout % Schedule

									
	Performance	Operating EPS Growth Average	Operating EPS Growth Payout %
	Below Threshold		0%
	Threshold		50%
	Target		100%
	Maximum		200%

•Based on the table above, the Company’s average Operating EPS Growth during the Performance Period is translated into a percentage payout (of the target) for 50% of the Units subject to the Award.

						
	Performance Adjustment	The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make appropriate and equitable adjustments to the performance goal measurement or the method applied to calculate such measurement or determine the underlying performance metric, in the event of or in connection with, among other items: (i) tax adjustments, (ii) a merger or acquisition or any similar event affecting the Shares or other securities of the Company, (iii) debt incurred relative to pension funding (whether required or driven by de-risking strategies), (iv) the impact of any new accounting standards, and (v) items associated with discontinued operations.

Payment    Within 70 days following the last day of the Performance Period, vested Units (including dividend equivalents accruing after the end of the Performance Period and prior to the payment date), if any, will be paid to you or your estate, as applicable, in one Share for each whole Unit and a cash payment for any fraction of a Unit.  The value of each fractional Unit will be based on the average of the high and low sale prices of Shares as reported on the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange as of the effective date of payment.

						
	Section 409A of the Code	The Units are intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to subject you to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Section 409A of the Code or other adverse tax consequences.  In furtherance of this intent, the provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions.  The Committee may modify the terms of this Agreement, the Plan or both, without your consent, in the manner that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A of the Code if compliance is not practical.  This section does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and does not guarantee that the Units or the delivery of Shares upon vesting/settlement of the Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or any other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable to any party for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on you by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

To the extent that this Agreement and the clawback policy conflict, the terms of the clawback policy shall prevail.
			
	

    6

						
	Repayment/ Forfeiture	Any benefits you may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable law, including the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Shares are traded, as may be in effect from time to time.

Withholding    You acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalent units; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units or the underlying shares to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
    
    Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  (i) requiring you to make a payment in a form acceptable to the Company; or (ii) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or (iii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iv) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Unit; or (v) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and to the extent required by Applicable Law or the Plan, approved by the Committee; provided, however, that if you are subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

    The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates, up to and including maximum applicable rates, in the jurisdictions applicable to you, in which case, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares.    If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
    
    Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of 
			
	

    7

Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

    Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A of the Code, if Shares subject to the Units will be withheld (or sold on your behalf) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Units for any portion of the Units that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then the number of Shares withheld (or sold on your behalf) shall not exceed the number of Shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items.

Severability    The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

Waiver    You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company or breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.

Privacy    In relation to this Agreement, the Company may collect, use, transfer and share your personal information, such as your name, contact information and banking information. The Company may share personal information with its Affiliates and selected third parties outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country, to perform this Agreement and for purposes consistent with our privacy statement:  https://www.corteva.com/privacy.html.

						
	Insider Trading/ Market Abuse Laws	You may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and your country or your broker's country, if different, which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company (as defined by Applicable Laws).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information.  Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party and (b) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Corteva, Inc Insider Trading Policy.  You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you should speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

						
	Imposition of Other Requirements	The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in this Agreement, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

For

shares issued (if any) in connection with such settlement, the shares in respect of which the Stock Incentive Award was cash-settled,
and the shares withheld, will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock that are available
for delivery under the Plan. In addition, if shares of Common Stock are issued subject to conditions which may result in the forfeiture,
cancellation, or return of such shares to the Company, any portion of the shares forfeited, cancelled or returned shall be treated as
not issued pursuant to the Plan. In addition, if shares of Common Stock owned by a Participant (or such Participant’s permitted
transferees as described in the Plan) are tendered (either actually or through attestation) to the Company in payment of any obligation
in connection with a Stock Incentive Award, the number of shares tendered shall be added to the number of shares of Common Stock that
are available for delivery under the Plan.

 

Shares
of Common Stock covered by Stock Incentive Awards granted pursuant to the Plan in connection with the assumption, replacement, conversion,
or adjustment of outstanding equity-based awards in the context of a corporate acquisition or merger (within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5635) shall not count as used under the Plan for purposes of this Section 3.

 

(b)

Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 8., the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Stock Incentive Awards granted
under the Plan to any Participant in any calendar year shall not exceed 2,000,000 shares.

4.
Administration of the Plan

 

The
Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more persons, each of whom qualifies as a “non-employee
director” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under section 16 of the Exchange Act) and as “independent”
as required by Nasdaq or any security exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, in each case if and to the extent required by applicable
law or necessary to meet the requirements of such rule, section or listing requirement at the time of determination. The Committee shall,
consistent with the terms of the Plan, from time to time designate those individuals who shall be granted Stock Incentive Awards under
the Plan and the amount, type, and other terms and conditions of such Stock Incentive Awards. All of the powers and responsibilities
of the Committee under the Plan may be delegated by the Committee, in writing, to any subcommittee thereof, in which case the acts of
such subcommittee shall be deemed to be acts of the Committee hereunder. The Committee may also from time to time authorize a subcommittee
consisting of one or more members of the Board of Directors (including members who are employees of the Company) or employees of the
Company to grant Stock Incentive Awards to persons who are not “executive officers” of the Company (within the meaning of
Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act), subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Committee may specify and to the requirements
of section 157 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The
Committee shall have full discretionary authority to administer the Plan, including discretionary authority to interpret and construe
any and all provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement thereunder, and to adopt, amend, and rescind from time to time such rules
and regulations for the administration of the Plan, including rules and regulations related to sub-plans established for the purpose
of satisfying applicable foreign laws and/or qualifying for preferred tax treatment under applicable foreign tax laws, as the Committee
may deem necessary or appropriate. Decisions of the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all parties. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Committee may exercise all discretion granted to it under the Plan in a non-uniform manner among Participants.

 

The
Committee may delegate the administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company, and such administrator(s)
may have the authority to execute and distribute Award Agreements, to maintain records relating to Stock Incentive Awards, to process
or oversee the issuance of Common Stock under Stock Incentive Awards, to interpret and administer the terms of Stock Incentive Awards,
and to take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and of Stock Incentive Awards under
the Plan, provided that in no case shall any such administrator be authorized (i) to grant Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan (except
in connection with any delegation made by the Committee pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.), (ii) to take any action
inconsistent with section 409A of the Code, or (iii) to take any action inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Any action by any such administrator within the scope of its delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been
taken by the Committee and, except as otherwise specifically provided, references in this Plan to the Committee shall include any such
administrator. The Committee and, to the extent it so provides, any subcommittee, shall have sole authority to determine whether to review
any actions and/or interpretations of any such administrator, and if the Committee shall decide to conduct such a review, any such actions
and/or interpretations of any such administrator shall be subject to approval, disapproval, or modification by the Committee.

 

On
or after the date of grant of an Incentive Award under the Plan, the Committee may (i) accelerate the date on which any such Incentive
Award becomes vested, exercisable or transferable, as the case may be, (ii) extend the term of any such Incentive Award, including, without
limitation, extending the period following a termination of a Participant’s Employment during which any such Incentive Award may
remain outstanding, (iii) waive any conditions to the vesting, exercisability or transferability, as the case may be, of any such Incentive
Award or (iv) provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any such Incentive Award; provided, that the
Committee shall not have any such authority to the extent that the grant of such authority would cause any tax to become due under Section
409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not reprice any stock option (within the meaning
of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) and any other formal or informal guidance issued by Nasdaq) without the approval of the shareholders of
the Company, nor shall the Company purchase any underwater options for cash. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action,
omission, or determination relating to the Plan, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each
other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has
been delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with
the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission, or determination relating to the Plan, unless, in either case, such
action, omission, or determination was taken or made by such member, director, or employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief
that it was in the best interests of the Company.

 

5.
Eligibility

 

The
Persons who shall be eligible to receive Stock Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be those employees non-employee directors,
consultants and other selected service providers of the Company whom the Committee shall select from time to time, including officers
of the Company, whether or not they are directors. Each Stock Incentive Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

 

6.
Options

 

The
Committee may from time to time grant Options on such terms as it shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Plan. The Award Agreement shall clearly identify such Option as either an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
section 422 of the Code or as a non-qualified stock option.

 

(a)
Exercise Price

 

The
exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by any Option shall be not less than one hundred percent of the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock on the date on which such Option is granted, other than assumptions in accordance with a corporate acquisition
or merger as described in Section 3.

 

    	4

     

    

 

(b)
Term and Exercise of Options

 

(1)
Each Option shall become vested and exercisable on such date or dates, during such period and for such number of shares of Common Stock
as shall be determined by the Committee on or after the date such Option is granted, subject to Approval as provided in Section 21.;
provided, further that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted;
and, provided, further, that each Option shall be subject to earlier termination, expiration, or cancellation as provided
in the Plan or the Award Agreement.

 

(2)
Each Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part; provided, however that no partial exercise of an Option shall be
for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000. The partial exercise of an Option shall not cause the expiration, termination, or
cancellation of the remaining portion thereof.

 

(3)
An Option shall be exercised by such methods and procedures as the Committee determines from time to time, including without limitation
through net physical settlement or other method of cashless exercise.

 

(c)
Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options

 

(1)
The aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning
of section 422 of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other
stock option plan of the Company or any of its “subsidiaries” (within the meaning of section 424 of the Code) shall not exceed
$100,000. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such stock option is granted. In the event that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock with respect to such incentive stock options exceeds $100,000, then incentive stock
options granted hereunder to such Participant shall, to the extent and in the order required by regulations promulgated under the Code
(or any other authority having the force of regulations), automatically be deemed to be non-qualified stock options, but all other terms
and provisions of such stock options shall remain unchanged. In the absence of such regulations (and authority), or in the event such
regulations (or authority) require or permit a designation of the Options which shall cease to constitute incentive stock options, incentive
stock options granted hereunder shall, to the extent of such excess and in the order in which they were granted, automatically be deemed
to be non-qualified stock options, but all other terms and provisions of such stock options shall remain unchanged.

 

(2)
Incentive stock options may only be granted to individuals who are employees of the Company. No incentive stock option may be granted
to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined
Voting Power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its “subsidiaries” (within the meaning of section 424 of the
Code), unless (i) the exercise price of such incentive stock option is at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock at the time such incentive stock option is granted and (ii) such incentive stock option is not exercisable after the expiration
of five years from the date such incentive stock option is granted.

 

7.
Other Stock-Based Awards

 

The
Committee may from time to time grant equity-based or equity-related awards not otherwise described herein in such amounts and on such
terms as it shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, including Approval requirement set forth in Section
21. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, each such Other Stock-Based Award may (i) involve the transfer of actual
shares of Common Stock to Participants, either at the time of grant or thereafter, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on
the value of shares of Common Stock, (ii) be subject to performance-based and/or service-based conditions, (iii) be in the form of stock
appreciation rights, phantom stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, deferred share units, or share-denominated
performance units, and (iv) be designed to comply with applicable laws of jurisdictions other than the United States; provided,
that each Other Stock-Based Award shall be denominated in, or shall have a value determined by reference to, a number of shares of Common
Stock that is specified at the time of the grant of such Stock Incentive Award.

8.
Adjustment upon Certain Changes

 

Subject
to any action by the shareholders of Company required by law, applicable tax rules or the rules of any exchange on which shares of common
stock of Company are listed for trading:

 

(a)
Shares Available for Grants

 

In
the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, combination, or exchange of shares or similar corporate change, the maximum aggregate number or type of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which the Committee may grant Stock Incentive Awards, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
may be covered by Options that are designated as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of section 422 of the Code
and the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Committee may grant Stock Incentive Awards to any
individual Participant in any year and to any non-employee director shall be appropriately adjusted or substituted by the Committee.
In the event of any change in the type or number of shares of Common Stock of Company outstanding by reason of any other event or transaction,
the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, make such adjustments to the type or number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which Stock Incentive Awards may be granted.

 

(b)
Increase or Decrease in Issued Shares Without Consideration

 

In
the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of
shares of Common Stock or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the shares of Common Stock), or any other increase or decrease
in the number of such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall, to the extent
deemed appropriate by the Committee, adjust the type or number of shares of Common Stock subject to each outstanding Stock Incentive
Award and the exercise price per share of Common Stock of each such Stock Incentive Award.

 

(c)
Certain Mergers and Other Transactions

 

In
the event of any merger, consolidation, or similar transaction as a result of which the holders of shares of Common Stock receive consideration
consisting exclusively of securities of the surviving corporation in such transaction, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate
by the Committee, adjust each Stock Incentive Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation so that it pertains and applies
to the securities which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Incentive Award would have received in
such merger or consolidation.

 

In
the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (on a
consolidated basis), (iii) a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction involving Company in which the holders of shares of Common
Stock receive securities and/or other property, including cash, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee,
have the power to:

 

(i)
cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Stock Incentive Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested),
and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Stock Incentive Award was granted an amount in cash,
for each share of Common Stock subject to such Stock Incentive Award, equal to the value, as determined by the Committee, of such Stock
Incentive Award, provided that with respect to any outstanding Option such value shall be equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined
by the Committee, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Common Stock as a result of such event over (B)
the exercise price of such Option; or

 

(ii)
provide for the exchange of each Stock Incentive Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested) for a Stock Incentive Award with respect
to (A) some or all of the property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Incentive Award would
have received in such transaction or (B) securities of the acquiror or surviving entity and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment
as determined by the Committee in the exercise price of the Stock Incentive Award, or the number of shares or amount of property subject
to the Stock Incentive Award or provide for a payment (in cash or other property) to the Participant to whom such Stock Incentive Award
was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Stock Incentive Award.

 

    	6

     

    

 

(d)
Other Changes

 

In
the event of any change in the capitalization of Company, corporate change, corporate transaction or other event other than those specifically
referred to in Sections 9(a), (b) or (c), the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, make such adjustments
in the number and class of shares subject to Stock Incentive Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in such other
terms of such Stock Incentive Awards as the Committee deems appropriate.

 

(e)
No Other Rights

 

Except
as expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation
of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividends or dividend equivalents, any increase or decrease in the number of shares
of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly
provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares or amount of other property
subject to, or the terms related to, any Stock Incentive Award.

 

(f)
Savings Clause

 

No
provision of this Section 8. shall be given effect to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under section
409A of the Code.

 

9.
Change in Control; Termination of Employment

 

(a)
Change in Control

 

Unless
otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company to the extent the successor company does
not assume or substitute for a Stock Incentive Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue
the Stock Incentive Award), then immediately prior to the Change in Control: (i) those Options and stock appreciation rights outstanding
as of the date of the Change in Control that are not assumed or substituted for (or continued) shall immediately vest and become fully
exercisable, and (ii) the restrictions, other limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Stock-Based Awards or any other
Awards that are not assumed or substituted for (or continued) shall lapse, and such Other Stock-Based Awards or such other Awards shall
become free of all restrictions, limitations, and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original
grant.

 

(b)
Termination of Employment

 

(1)
Except as to any awards constituting stock rights subject to section 409A of the Code, termination of Employment shall mean a separation
from service within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, unless the Participant is retained as a consultant pursuant to a written
agreement and such agreement provides otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall determine whether
an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute termination of Employment, provided that
a Participant who is an employee will not be deemed to cease employment in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Company.
Furthermore, no payment shall be made with respect to any Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan that are subject to section 409A of the
Code as a result of any such authorized leave of absence or absence in military or government service unless such authorized leave or
absence constitutes a separation from service for purposes of section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

    	7

     

    

 

(2)
The Award Agreement shall specify the consequences with respect to such Stock Incentive Awards of the termination of Employment of the
Participant holding the Stock Incentive Awards.

 

(3)
A Participant who ceases to be an employee of the Company but continues, or simultaneously commences, services as a director of the Company
shall be deemed to continue Employment for purposes of the Plan.

 

10.
Rights Under the Plan

 

No
Person shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by or relating to any Stock Incentive
Award until the date of the issuance of such shares on the books and records of the Company Except as otherwise expressly provided in
Section 8. hereof, no adjustment of any Stock Incentive Award shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs
prior to the date of such issuance. Nothing in this Section 10. is intended, or should be construed, to limit authority of the Committee
to cause the Company to make payments based on the dividends that would be payable with respect to any share of Common Stock if it were
issued or outstanding, or from granting rights related to such dividends.

 

The
Company shall not have any obligation to establish any separate fund or trust or other segregation of assets to provide for payments
under the Plan. To the extent any person acquires any rights to receive payments hereunder from the Company, such rights shall be no
greater than those of an unsecured creditor.

 

11.
No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Stock Incentive Awards

 

(a)
Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of
his or her Employment by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company at any time to terminate such Employment or
to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of a Stock Incentive
Award.

 

(b)
No person shall have any claim or right to receive a Stock Incentive Award hereunder. The Committee’s granting of a Stock Incentive
Award to a Participant at any time shall neither require the Committee to grant a Stock Incentive Award to such Participant or any other
Participant or other person at any time nor preclude the Committee from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other Participant
or other person.

 

12.
Securities Matters

 

(a)
The Company shall be under no obligation to affect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of any shares of Common Stock to be
issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state or local laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company shall not be obligated to cause to be issued shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Company is advised
by its counsel that the issuance is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority, and the requirements
of any securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are traded. The Committee may require, as a condition to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such covenants, agreements, and representations,
and that any related certificates representing such shares bear such legends, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary
or desirable.

 

(b)
The exercise or settlement of any Stock Incentive Award (including, without limitation, any Option) granted hereunder shall only be effective
at such time as counsel to Company shall have determined that the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such exercise
is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority, and the requirements of any securities exchange on
which shares of Common Stock are traded. Company may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of any exercise or settlement of
a Stock Incentive Award granted hereunder in order to allow the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to be made pursuant to registration
or an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance available under federal or state or local securities laws. Company
shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise or settlement of a Stock Incentive
Award granted hereunder. During the period that the effectiveness of the exercise of a Stock Incentive Award has been deferred, the Participant
may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

 

    	8

     

    

 

13.
Withholding Taxes

 

(a)
Cash Remittance

 

Whenever
withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection with any Stock Incentive Award, the Company shall have the right to require the
Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, if
any, attributable to such event. In addition, upon the exercise or settlement of any Stock Incentive Award in cash, or the making of
any other payment with respect to any Stock Incentive Award (other than in shares of Common Stock), the Company shall have the right
to withhold from any payment required to be made pursuant thereto an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state, and local withholding
tax requirements, if any, attributable to such exercise, settlement, or payment.

 

(b)
Stock Remittance

 

At
the election of the Participant, subject to the approval of the Committee, whenever withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection
with any Stock Incentive Award, the Participant may tender to the Company (including by attestation) a number of shares of Common Stock
having a Fair Market Value at the tender date determined by the Committee to be sufficient to satisfy the minimum federal, state, and
local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such event. Such election shall satisfy the Participant’s obligations
under Section 13.(a) hereof, if any.

 

(c)
Stock Withholding

 

At
the election of the Participant, subject to the approval of the Committee, whenever withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection
with any Stock Incentive Award, the Company shall withhold a number of such shares having a Fair Market Value determined by the Committee
to be sufficient to satisfy the minimum federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such event. Such
election shall satisfy the Participant’s obligations under Section 13.(a) hereof, if any.

 

14.
No Obligation to Exercise

 

The
grant to a Participant of a Stock Incentive Award shall impose no obligation upon such Participant to exercise such Stock Incentive Award.

 

15.
Transfers

 

Stock
Incentive Awards 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 a Participant, only by the Participant; provided,
however that the Committee may permit Options or other Stock Incentive Awards that are not incentive stock options to be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of, on a general or specific basis, subject to such conditions and limitations
as the Committee may determine. Upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Stock Incentive Awards granted to such Participant may be
exercised only by the executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or by any person or persons who shall have acquired
such right to exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution
of any Stock Incentive Award, or the right to exercise any Stock Incentive Award, shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee
shall have been furnished with (a) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem
necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions
of the Stock Incentive Award that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgements made by
the Participant in connection with the grant of the Stock Incentive Award. .

 

16.
Expenses and Receipts

 

The
expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. Any proceeds received by the Company in connection with any Stock Incentive Award
will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

    	9

     

    

 

17.
Failure to Comply

 

In
addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein, failure by a Participant to comply with any of the terms and conditions
of the Plan or any Award Agreement, unless such failure is remedied by such Participant within ten days after having been notified of
such failure by the Committee, shall be grounds for the cancellation and forfeiture of such Stock Incentive Award, in whole or in part,
as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, may determine.

 

18.
Relationship to Other Benefits

 

No
payment with respect to any Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension,
retirement, profit sharing, group insurance, or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other
plan.

 

19.
Governing Law

 

The
Plan and the rights of all persons under the Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to its conflict of law principles.

 

20.
Severability

 

If
all or any part of this Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity
shall not serve to invalidate any portion of this Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section or part of a Section so declared
to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner that will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of
a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

 

21.
Effective Date and Term of Plan The Effective Date of the Plan is November 26, 2021, subject to the approval of the Plan by the
shareholders of Company within 12 months of the Effective Date (“Approval”). Only Options may be granted prior to Approval,
provided no Option granted prior to Approval may be exercisable, in whole or in part, prior to Approval, and the Plan will be unwound,
and all outstanding Options forfeited and cancelled, if Approval is not obtained. No grants of Stock Incentive Awards may be made under
the Plan after November 26, 2031.

 

22.
Amendment or Termination of the Plan

 

The
Board of Directors may at any time suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it or any Stock Incentive Award in any respect
whatsoever; provided, however, that to the extent that any applicable law, tax requirement, or rule of a stock exchange
requires shareholder approval in order for any such revision or amendment to be effective, such revision or amendment shall not be effective
without such approval. The preceding sentence shall not restrict the Committee’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority
hereunder pursuant to Section 4. hereof, which discretion may be exercised without amendment to the Plan. No provision of this Section
22. shall be given effect to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under section 409A of the Code. Except
as expressly provided in the Plan, no action hereunder may, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect the Participant’s
rights under any previously granted and outstanding Stock Incentive Award. Nothing in the Plan shall limit the right of the Company to
pay compensation of any kind outside the terms of the Plan.

 

23.
Recoupment

 

Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company will be entitled to the extent permitted or required by applicable
law, Company policy and/or the requirements of an exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed for trading, in each case,
as in effect from time to time to recoup compensation of whatever kind paid by the Company at any time to a Participant under this Plan.
