any acquisition which complies with Sections 2.7(b)(i), 2.7(b)(ii) and 2.7(b)(iii); or (iv) in respect of an Award held by a particular

after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power
of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this Section 2.7(b)(ii) as

Entity were Board members at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such
transaction; or

 

(c)           
The completion of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change
in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award (or any portion of an Award) that provides for the deferral of
compensation that is subject to Section 409A, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section
409A, the transaction or event described in subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this Section 2.7 with respect to such Award (or portion
thereof) shall only constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the payment timing of such Award if such transaction also constitutes
a “change in control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

 

The Administrator shall have full and final
authority, which shall be exercised in its sole discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control has occurred
pursuant to the above definition, the date of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto; provided that
any exercise of authority in conjunction with a determination of whether a Change in Control is a “change in control event”

the Committee takes any action with respect to an Award that is subject to Rule 16b-3, a “non-employee director” within

ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION

 

4.1              
Administration.

 

(a)               
The Plan is administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has authority to determine which Service Providers receive
Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator
also has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements
and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices as it deems advisable. The Administrator may
correct defects and ambiguities, supply omissions, reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award and make all other determinations
that it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards. The Administrator (and each member thereof) is entitled
to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to it, him or her by any
officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any
executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. The
Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and will be final, binding and conclusive on all
persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award.

 

(b)               
Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator has the exclusive power, authority and sole discretion to: (i) designate
Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant; (iii) determine the number of Awards
to be granted and the number of Shares to which an Award will relate; (iv) subject to the limitations in the Plan, determine the
terms and conditions of any Award and related Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price,
purchase price, any performance criteria, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for vesting, lapse of forfeiture
restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations, waivers or amendments thereof; (v) determine
whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid
in cash, Shares, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; and (vi) make all other decisions and
determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to administer the
Plan.

 

    6

     

    

 

(c)               
The authority of the Administrator shall be subject to any limitations conferred by Applicable Law or any resolution of
the shareholders from time to time.

 

4.2              
Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board or any Committee may delegate any or
all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that in no event shall an officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend
Awards held by, the following individuals: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (b) officers of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Directors to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. Any
delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such
delegation or that are otherwise included in the applicable organizational documents, and the Board or Committee, as applicable,
may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this
Section 4.2 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, and the Board or the Committee
may abolish any committee at any time and re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority. Further, regardless of any delegation,
the Board or a Committee may, in its discretion, exercise any and all rights and duties as the Administrator under the Plan delegated
thereby, except with respect to Awards that are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee under the rules
of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded.

 

Article
V.

shares AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

 

5.1              
Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article IX (Adjustment for Changes in Shares and Certain Other Events)
and the terms of this Article V, Awards may be made under the Plan covering up to the Overall Share Limit.

 

5.2              
Share Recycling.

 

(a)               
If all or any part of an Award expires, lapses or is terminated, the unused Shares covered by the Award will, as applicable,
become or again be available for Awards under the Plan. Any Shares that are subject to Awards that may only be settled in cash
shall not reduce such aggregate number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan. In addition, if any Shares are
subject to an Award that is settled in cash in lieu of Shares, then such shares shall, in each such case, become available for
the grant of Awards under Plan.

 

(b)               
In addition, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the following Shares shall be available for future grants of Awards:
(i) Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (ii) Shares tendered
by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award; and (iii) Shares
subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right
on exercise thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded
pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option if such action would cause such Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Code.

 

5.3              
Incentive Stock Option Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no more than 1,085,900
Shares (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

 

    7

     

    

 

5.4              
Substitute Awards. In connection with an entity’s merger or consolidation with the Company or any Subsidiary
or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s acquisition of an entity’s property or stock, the Administrator may grant
Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such
entity or its affiliate. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate,
notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall
Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above), except that
Shares acquired by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued
pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company
or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved
by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to
the terms of such pre-existing plan (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan
and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and Shares subject to such Awards may again become available
for Awards under the Plan as provided under Section 5.2 above); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made
after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination,
and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such
acquisition or combination.

 

Article
VI.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

6.1              
General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to one or more Service Providers, subject
to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine. The Administrator will determine
the number of Shares covered by each Option and Stock Appreciation Right, the exercise price of each Option and Stock Appreciation
Right and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation
Right will entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company
upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any,
of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right
by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations of the Plan
or that the Administrator may impose and payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or a combination
of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement.

 

6.2              
Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise
price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. Subject to Section 6.6, the exercise price will not be less than 100%
of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the
case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to
such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant;
provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 424 and 409A of the Code and (ii) an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be granted with an exercise price per share
that is less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant to individuals who are not subject to U.S. income tax on
the date of grant.

 

    8

     

    

 

6.3              
Duration of Options. Subject to Section 6.6, each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such
times and as specified in the Award Agreement, provided that the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed
ten years; provided, further, that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, (a) no portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right which is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and (b) the portion
of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall automatically
expire on the date of such Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event that on the last business day of
the term of an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or Stock Appreciation Right (a) the exercise of such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right is prohibited by Applicable Law or (b) Shares may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors
of the Company due to the “black-out period” of a Company policy or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in
connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the Administrator may provide that the term of the Option or Stock Appreciation
Right shall be extended but not beyond a period of thirty (30) days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period
or lock-up agreement, to the extent an extension does not cause adverse tax consequences to the Participant under Section 409A
of the Code and such extension complies with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the end
of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, commits an act of Cause (as determined by the Administrator), or violates
any non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure
agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right to exercise the Option
or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be terminated by the Company and the Company may suspend the Participant’s
right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right when it reasonably believes that the Participant may have participated
in any such act or violation.

 

6.4              
Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to the Company (or such other person
or entity designated by the Administrator) a notice of exercise, in a form and manner the Company approves (which may be written,
electronic or telephonic and may contain representations and warranties deemed advisable by the Administrator), signed or authenticated
by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, payment in full of (a)
the exercise price for the number of Shares for which the Option is exercised in a manner specified in Section 6.5 and (b) all
applicable taxes in a manner specified in Section 10.5. The Administrator may, in its discretion, limit exercise with respect to
fractional Shares and require that any partial exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be with respect to a minimum number
of Shares.

 

6.5              
Payment Upon Exercise. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payment of the exercise price of an
Option shall be made, including, without limitation:

 

(a)               
cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that the Company may limit the use of one of the foregoing
methods if one or more of the methods below is permitted;

 

(b)               
if there is a public market for Shares at the time of exercise, unless the Company otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including
electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell
order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option and that the broker
has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s
delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver
promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to pay the exercise price by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or
check; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company;

 

(c)               
to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the
Participant valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery;

 

(d)               
to the extent permitted by the Administrator with respect to Nonqualified Stock Options, surrendering Shares then issuable
upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date; or

 

(e)               
to the extent permitted by the Administrator, any combination of the above payment forms.

 

    9

     

    

 

6.6              
Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to employees
of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code,
respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If
an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair
Market Value on the Option’s grant date, and the term of the Option will not exceed five years. All Incentive Stock Options
(and Award Agreements related thereto) will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting
an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other
than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within (a) two years from the grant date
of the Option or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other
transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, in
such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party,
if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.
Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422
of the Code for any reason, including becoming exercisable with respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the $100,000
limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Nonqualified Stock Option. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted
pursuant to the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan was adopted by the Company and (ii) the
date the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

7.1              
General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions
during the applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement, to Service Providers. The Administrator
shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that if a purchase
price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise
permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock Units to
the extent required by Applicable Law. The Award Agreement for each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall set forth the terms and conditions
not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted
Stock Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest or will instead be deferred,
on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, subject to compliance with Applicable Law.

 

Article
VIII.

OTHER TYPES OF AWARDS

 

8.1              
General. The Administrator may grant Performance Stock Unit awards, Performance Bonus Awards, Dividend Equivalents
or Other Stock or Cash Based Awards, to one or more Service Providers, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions
not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine.

 

8.2              
Performance Stock Unit Awards. Each Performance Stock Unit award shall be denominated in a number of Shares or in
unit equivalents of Shares or units of value (including a dollar value of Shares) and may be linked to any one or more of performance
or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or Subsidiaries, determined to be appropriate by the Administrator,
in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations,
the Administrator may consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions,
responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Participant.

 

    10

     

    

 

8.3              
Performance Bonus Awards. Each right to receive a bonus granted under this Section 8.3 shall be denominated in the
form of cash (but may be payable in cash, stock or a combination thereof) (a “Performance Bonus Award”)
and shall be payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more
of performance or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or Subsidiaries, in each case on a specified date or
dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.

 

8.4              
Dividend Equivalents. If the Administrator provides, an Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right)
may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited
to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability
as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth
in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award subject
to vesting shall either (i) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject
to vesting to the same extent as the related Award. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be paid at such time as the Administrator
shall specify in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

8.5              
Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be granted to Participants, including Awards
entitling Participants to receive cash or Shares to be delivered in the future and annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus
awards (whether based on specified performance criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in
the Plan. Such Other Stock or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as
standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock or Cash Based
Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property, as the Administrator determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, performance
goal(s), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Except in connection
with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Article IX (Adjustment for Changes in Shares and Certain
Other Events), dividends that are paid prior to vesting of any Other Stock or Cash Based Award shall only be paid to the applicable
Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Other Stock or Cash Based Award vests.

 

Article
IX.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN SHARES

AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

 

9.1              
Equity Restructuring. In connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article IX the Administrator may equitably adjust the terms of the Plan and each outstanding Award as
it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include (i) adjusting the number and type of securities subject
to each outstanding Award or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments
of the limitations in Article V (Stock Available for Awards) hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares that may be
issued); (ii) adjusting the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the performance goals or other
criteria included in, outstanding Awards; and (iii) granting new Awards or making cash payments to Participants. The adjustments
provided under this Section 9.1 will be final and binding on all interested parties, including the affected Participant and the
Company; provided that the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable.

 

    11

     

    

 

9.2              
Corporate Transactions. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares,
other securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin off, combination, amalgamation, repurchase,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants
or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual
or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Law or accounting
principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action
taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or
accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such change) and either automatically or upon the Participant’s
request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such
action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company
to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) to facilitate such transaction
or event or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles:

 

(a)               
To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value
equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization
of the Participant’s rights under the vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could
have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s
rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment;

 

(b)               
To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares (or other property)
covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

 

(c)               
To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof,
or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases,
as determined by the Administrator;

 

(d)               
To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or
with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article
V (Stock Available for Awards) hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued) or in the terms and
conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards;

 

(e)               
To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; or

 

(f)                
To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.

 

9.3              
Change in Control.

 

(a)               
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, unless the Administrator elects to
(i) terminate an Award in exchange for cash, rights or property, or (ii) cause an Award to become fully exercisable and no longer
subject to any forfeiture restrictions prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, pursuant to Section 9.2, (A) such Award
(other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting) shall continue in effect or be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted
by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation and (B) the portion of such Award subject to
performance-based vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement and, in the absence of
applicable terms and conditions, the Administrator’s discretion.

 

    12

     

    

 

(b)               
In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for an Award (other than
any portion subject to performance-based vesting), and provided that (and only if) the Administrator has determined that the relevant
Award shall not continue in effect (which the Administrator may do in its sole discretion), the Administrator shall cause such
Award to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all
forfeiture restrictions on such Award to lapse and, to the extent unexercised upon the consummation of such transaction, to terminate
in exchange for cash, rights or other property. The Administrator shall notify the Participant of any Award that becomes exercisable
pursuant to the preceding sentence that such Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of time as determined by the Administrator
(which shall be 15 days if no period of time is determined by the Administrator) from the date of such notice, contingent upon
the occurrence of the Change in Control, and such Award shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance
with the preceding sentence.

 

(c)               
For the purposes of this Section 9.3, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration
(whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held
on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen
by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in
Control was not solely shares of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor
corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to
be solely shares of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per-share consideration received
by holders of Shares in the Change in Control.

 

9.4              
Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares,
merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other
extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the share price of the Shares (including any Equity Restructuring or
any securities offering or other similar transaction) or for reasons of administrative convenience or to facilitate compliance
with any Applicable Law, the Company may refuse to permit the exercise or settlement of one or more Awards for such period of time
as the Company may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

 

9.5              
General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant
will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in
the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except
as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 9.1 above or the Administrator’s action under
the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and
no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant or exercise price. The
existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s
right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s
capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation, spinoff, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of
Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

 

10.1          
Transferability.

 

(a)               
No Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law,
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic
relations order, unless and until such Award has been exercised or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions
applicable to such Shares have lapsed. During the life of a Participant, Awards will be exercisable only by the Participant, unless
it has been disposed of pursuant to a domestic relations order. After the death of a Participant, any exercisable portion of an
Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised
by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will
or under the then-Applicable Law of descent and distribution. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context,
will include references to a transferee approved by the Administrator.

 

(b)               
Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant or a Permitted
Transferee of such Participant to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option (unless such Incentive Stock Option is
intended to become a Nonqualified Stock Option) to any one or more Permitted Transferees of such Participant, subject to the following
terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted
Transferee other than (A) to another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Participant or (B) by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a domestic relations order; (ii) an Award transferred
to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original
Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Award to any Person other than another Permitted Transferee of the
applicable Participant); (iii) the Participant (or transferring Permitted Transferee) and the receiving Permitted Transferee shall
execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status
of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law
and (C) evidence the transfer; and (iv) any transfer of an Award to a Permitted Transferee shall be without consideration, except
as required by Applicable Law. In addition, and further notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may determine to permit a Participant to transfer Incentive Stock Options to a trust that constitutes a Permitted Transferee if,
under Section 671 of the Code and other Applicable Law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Incentive
Stock Option while it is held in the trust.

 

(c)               
Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a Designated
Beneficiary. A Designated Beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the
Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant and any additional
restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed
or revoked by a Participant at any time; provided that the change or revocation is delivered in writing to the Administrator prior
to the Participant’s death.

 

10.2          
Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced in an Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator determines in
its discretion. Each Award may contain such terms and conditions as are determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion,
to the extent not inconsistent with those set forth in the Plan.

 

    14

     

    

 

10.3          
Changes in Participant’s Status. The Administrator will determine how the Disability, death, retirement, authorized
leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status affects an Award and
the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian
or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable. Except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable
Law or expressly authorized by the Company or by the Company’s written policy on leaves of absence, no service credit shall
be given for vesting purposes for any period the Participant is on a leave of absence.

 

10.4          
Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment
of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards by the date of the event creating
the tax liability. The Company may deduct an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise
due to a Participant. The amount deducted shall be determined by the Company and may be up to, but no greater than, the aggregate
amount of such obligations based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the applicable Participant’s jurisdiction
for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income. Subject to
any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods), Participants may satisfy such tax obligations (i) in cash, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, by check made payable to the order of the Company; provided that the Company may
limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the exercise methods below is permitted, (ii) to the extent permitted
by the Administrator, in whole or in part by delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation and Shares retained
from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, (iii) if there is a public
market for Shares at the time the tax obligations are satisfied, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including
electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell
order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option and that the broker
has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to satisfy the tax obligations, or (B) the Participant’s
delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver
promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds
or check; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company,
(iv) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery of a promissory note or any other lawful consideration or (v) to the
extent permitted by the Administrator, any combination of the foregoing payment forms. If any tax withholding obligation will be
satisfied under clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence by the Company’s retention of Shares from the Award creating
the tax obligation and there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligation is satisfied, the Company may elect to
instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the applicable Participant’s
behalf some or all of the Shares retained and to remit the proceeds of the sale to the Company or its designee, and each Participant’s
acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company and instruction and
authorization to such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this sentence.

 

10.5          
Amendment of Award; Repricing. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including
by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise or settlement date, and converting an Incentive
Stock Option to a Nonqualified Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action,
taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award,
or (ii) the change is permitted under Article IX (Adjustment for Changes in Shares and Certain Other Events) or pursuant
to Section 11.6 (Section 409A). In addition, the Administrator shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company,
have the authority to (a) amend any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its exercise price per Share, or (b)
cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award.

 

    15

     

    

 

10.6          
Conditions on Delivery of Shares. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove
restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s
satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have
been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the
Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or
appropriate to satisfy Applicable Law, including to the extent applicable, any lock-up agreement. The Company’s inability
to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which the Administrator determines is necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any securities, will relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority has not been obtained.

 

10.7          
Delivery of Warrants. An Award may be settled by delivering warrants, entitling the holder to the immediate subscription
of one Common Share against the (at the time) quota value of such Common Share, and which shall be immediately converted into Common
Shares pursuant to this Section 10.7. The Participants hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorize the Administrator to procure
the immediate exercise of each such warrant and the subscription of Common Shares as a result of such exercise as described in
the previous sentence. The exercise price, if any, payable by a Participant as a result of the immediate exercise of such warrant
shall be deemed paid by the Company on behalf of such Participant and shall be deducted from any salary or other compensation payable
to such Participant by the Company or any relevant Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Awards shall be entitled to settlement
in any amount greater than the value of the Common Shares underlying the Award.

 

10.8          
Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or
partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable.

 

Article
XI.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1          
No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant
of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continue employment or any other relationship with the Company.
The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free
from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement or other written agreement
between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

11.2          
No Rights as Shareholder; Certificates. Subject to the Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary
will have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder
of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Law
requires, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares
issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its
transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on any share certificate or book entry to reference
restrictions applicable to the Shares.

 

11.3          
Effective Date. The Plan was adopted by the Company on March 17, 2021, and will become effective on the
date of its approval by the shareholders of the Company (the “Effective Date”).

 

11.4          
Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided
that (i) no amendment requiring shareholder approval to comply with Applicable Law shall be effective unless approved by the Board,
and (ii) no amendment, other than an increase to the Overall Share Limit or pursuant to Article IX (Adjustment for Changes in
Shares and Certain Other Events) or Section 11.6 (Section 409A), may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding
at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s consent. No Awards may be granted under the Plan after Plan
termination. Awards outstanding at the time of Plan termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement,
as in effect before such termination. The Board will obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary
to comply with Applicable Law or required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Shares are listed.

 

    16

     

    

 

11.5          
Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Administrator may modify Awards granted to Participants, establish subplans
or procedures under the Plan or take any other necessary or appropriate action to address Applicable Law, including, without limitation,
(a) differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency,
employee benefit or other matters, (b) listing and other requirements of any foreign securities exchange, and (c) any necessary
local governmental or regulatory exemptions or approvals.

 

11.6          
Section 409A.

 

(a)               
General. The Company intends that all Awards be structured to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, such
that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any
Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend the Plan or Awards, adopt
policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are
necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (A) exempt the
Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (B) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and
other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties
as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have no obligation under this Section 11.6
or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability
to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute
noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A.

 

(b)               
Separation from Service. If an Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A,
any payment or settlement of such Award upon a Participant’s Termination of Service will, to the extent necessary to avoid
taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of
Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the Participant’s Termination of Service.
For purposes of the Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,”
 “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.”

 

(c)               
Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s)
of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award to a “specified employee” (as
defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to
the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately
following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead
be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively
practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable
more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times
the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

 

    17

     

    

 

11.7          
Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer
or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary,
or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual
will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity
as an Administrator, director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or delegated
any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’
fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act
or omission concerning the Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith; provided that he or she gives the
Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on
his or her own behalf.

 

11.8          
Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the
collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section by and among the Company
and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation
in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including
the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or other identification
number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates; and Award details,
to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries
and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s
participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting
the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s
country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’
country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data,
in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any
required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares.
The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s
participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding such Participant, request
additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections
to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 11.8 in writing, without cost, by contacting
the local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in
the Administrator’s sole discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the
Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 11.8. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing
consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

 

11.9          
Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason,
the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if
the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

 

11.10       
Non-Uniform Determinations. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan and Award Agreements need not
be uniform and any such determinations may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards
under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator
will be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations under Award Agreements, and to enter into
non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to (i) the persons to receive Awards, (ii) the terms and provisions of Awards and
(iii) whether a Participant’s employment has been terminated for purposes of the Plan.

 

    18

     

    

 

11.11       
Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement
between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary), the Plan will govern, unless such Award Agreement or other written agreement
was approved by the Administrator and expressly provides that a specific provision of the Plan will not apply.

 

11.12       
Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Sweden,
without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

 

11.13       
Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, the Administrator may require, as a condition to the grant of and/or
the receipt of Shares or other securities under an Award, that the Participant execute lock-up, stockholder or other agreements,
as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

11.14       
Clawback Provisions. All Awards (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the
Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt or exercise of any Award or the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying
the Award) will be subject to recoupment by the Company to the extent required to comply with Applicable Law or any policy of the
Company providing for the reimbursement of incentive compensation, whether or not such policy was in place at the time of grant
of an Award.

 

11.15       
Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict,
the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.

 

11.16       
Conformity to Applicable Law. Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary
with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in a manner
intended to conform with Applicable Law. To the extent Applicable Law permit, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed
amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

 

11.17       
Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits
under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary,
except as expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

 

11.18       
Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation.
With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or Award Agreement
shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

11.19       
Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan and any Award
granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be subject to any additional limitations
set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and any
amendments thereto) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable
exemptive rule.

 

11.20       
Lock Up Period. The Company may, at the request of any underwriter representative
or otherwise, in connection with registering the offering of any Company securities under the Securities Act, prohibit Participants
from, directly or indirectly, selling or otherwise transferring any Shares or other Company securities during a period of up to
180 days following the effective date of a Company registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or such longer period
as determined by the underwriter.

EXHIBIT 4.3

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which are included as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

Common Stock

Dividend rights

Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine. 

Voting rights

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. We have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our restated certificate of incorporation. Accordingly, pursuant to our restated certificate of incorporation holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock are able to elect all of our directors. Our restated certificate of incorporation establishes a classified board of directors, divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms.

No preemptive or similar rights

Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Right to receive liquidation distributions

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of their qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors  can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of 

 

 

preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

 Registration Rights

Pursuant to the terms of our registration rights agreement, entered into on March 16, 2021, with  Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. and 667, L.P. (the “Baker Funds”), the Baker Funds are entitled to certain resale registration rights with respects to shares of our common stock held by the Baker Funds (the “Registrable Securities”).

 

Under the terms of our registration rights agreement, following a request by the Baker Funds, we will be obligated to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3, or other appropriate form, covering Registrable Securities. Under our registration rights agreement, the Baker Funds also have the right to up to two underwritten public offerings or block trades per calendar year, but no more than three underwritten public offerings and eight block trades in total, to effect the sale or distribution of their Registrable Securities, subject to specified exceptions, conditions and limitations. 

 

Our registration rights agreement also includes customary indemnification obligations in connection with registrations conducted pursuant to our registration rights agreement. 

 

The rights of the Baker Funds under our registration rights agreement terminate automatically upon the earlier to occur of the following events: (i) all Registrable Securities covered by our registration rights agreement have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by our registration rights agreement have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, or other similar rule; (iii) at any time after the Baker Funds are no longer our affiliate, all Registrable Securities covered by our registration rights agreement may be resold by the Baker Funds without limitations as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144; or (iv) ten (10) years after the date of our registration rights agreement. 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

The provisions of Delaware law, our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the person became an interested stockholder unless:

2

 

 

	
 
	
•
	
Prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

	
 
	
•
	
The interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

	
 
	
•
	
At or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions

Our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our company, including the following:

	
 
	
•
	
Board of Directors vacancies. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws authorize our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats unless the board of directors determines that any such vacancies shall be filled by the stockholders. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.

	
 
	
•
	
Classified board. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that our board is classified into three classes of directors, each with staggered three-year terms. A third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us as it is more difficult and time consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board of directors.

	
 
	
•
	
Stockholder action; special meetings of stockholders. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders may not take action by written consent, but may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our amended and restated bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws. Further, our amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, our Chief Executive Officer or our President, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

	
 
	
•
	
Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations. Our amended and restated bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our 

3

 

	
 
		
stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

	
 
	
•
	
No cumulative voting. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting.

	
 
	
•
	
Directors removed only for cause. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may remove directors only for cause.

	
 
	
•
	
Amendment of charter provisions. Any amendment of the above provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding common stock, provided that if two-thirds of our board of directors approves such an amendment, then only the approval of a majority of holders is required.

	
 
	
•
	
Issuance of undesignated preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.

	
 
	
•
	
Choice of forum. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
