to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if a Holder’s employment with, or status as a Director of, the Company or an
Affiliate shall terminate, and if, within ninety (90) days of such termination, such Holder shall become a Consultant, such Holder’s
rights with respect to any Award or portion thereof granted thereto prior to the date of such termination may be preserved, if
and to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as if such Holder had been a Consultant for the entire period
during which such Award or portion thereof had been outstanding. Should the Committee effect such determination with respect to
such Holder, for all purposes of the Plan, such Holder shall not be treated as if his or her employment or Director status had
terminated until such time as his or her Consultant status shall terminate, in which case his or her Award, as it may have been
reduced in connection with the Holder’s becoming a Consultant, shall be treated pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3.
Should a Holder’s status as a Consultant terminate, and if, within ninety (90) days of such termination, such Holder shall
become an Employee or a Director, such Holder’s rights with respect to any Award or portion thereof granted thereto prior
to the date of such termination may be preserved, if and to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as if
such Holder had been an Employee or a Director, as applicable, for the entire period during which such Award or portion thereof
had been outstanding, and, should the Committee effect such determination with respect to such Holder, for all purposes of the
Plan, such Holder shall not be treated as if his or her Consultant status had terminated until such time as his or her employment
with the Company or an Affiliate, or his or her Director status, as applicable, shall terminate, in which case his or her Award
shall be treated pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2.

Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise, should a Holder’s employment, Director status or engagement as a Consultant
with or for the Company or an Affiliate be terminated by the Company or Affiliate for Cause, all of such Holder’s then outstanding
Awards shall expire immediately and be forfeited in their entirety upon such termination.

Option Agreement.

 

Section 7.3           Option
Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in such form and containing such provisions not inconsistent
with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee from time to time shall approve. An Option Agreement may provide for the payment
of the Option price, in whole or in part, by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock (plus cash if necessary) that have
been owned by the Holder for at least six (6) months and having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option price, or such other forms
or methods as the Committee may determine from time to time, in each case, subject to such rules and regulations as may be adopted

and 6.5, as applicable, specify the effect of termination of employment, Director status or Consultant status on the exercisability
of the Option. Moreover, without limited the generality of the foregoing, an Option Agreement may provide for a “cashless
exercise” of the Option, in whole or in part, by (a) establishing procedures whereby the Holder, by a properly-executed written

Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option by the number of such shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
Option price (or portion thereof to be so paid) as of the date of the Option’s exercise. Each Option Agreement shall, solely
to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5, as applicable, specify the effect of the termination
of the Holder’s employment, Director status or Consultant status on the exercisability of the Option. An Option Agreement
may also include provisions relating to (i) subject to the provisions hereof, accelerated vesting of Options, including but not
limited to upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, (ii) tax matters (including provisions covering any applicable Employee
wage withholding requirements and requiring additional “gross-up” payments to Holders to meet any excise taxes or other
additional income tax liability imposed as a result of a payment made upon a Change of Control resulting from the operation of
the Plan or of such Option Agreement) and (iii) any other matters not inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan that
the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine. The terms and conditions of the respective Option Agreements need not be

Section 7.4           Option
Price and Payment. The price at which a share of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be determined
by the Committee; provided, however, that such Option price (i) shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted, and (ii) shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article XV. The
Option or portion thereof may be exercised by delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise to the Company. The Option price for
the Option or portion thereof shall be paid in full in the manner prescribed by the Committee as set forth in the Plan and the
applicable Option Agreement, which manner, with the consent of the Committee, may include the withholding of shares of Common Stock
otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option, for purposes of Section 7.3(b).

Rights and Privileges. The Holder of an Option shall be entitled to all the privileges and rights of a stockholder of the Company
solely with respect to such shares of Common Stock as have been purchased under the Option and for which certificates of stock
have been registered in the Holder’s name.

 

Section 7.6           Options
and Rights in Substitution for Stock Options Granted by Other Corporations. Options may be granted under the Plan from time
to time in substitution for stock options held by individuals employed by entities who become Employees as a result of a merger
or consolidation of the employing entity with the Company or any Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of
the assets of the employing entity, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of stock of the employing entity with the
result that such employing entity becomes an Affiliate.

 

Section 7.7           Prohibition
Against Repricing. Except to the extent (i) approved in advance by holders of a majority of the shares of the Company entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors, or (ii) as a result of any Change of Control or any adjustment as provided in Article XV,
the Committee shall not have the power or authority to reduce, whether through amendment or otherwise, the exercise price under
any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation right, or to grant any new Award or make any payment of cash in substitution for or
upon the cancellation of Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights previously granted.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

Section 14.1         Terms
and Conditions. The Committee shall set forth in the applicable Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement the terms and conditions
of the Stock Appreciation Right, including (i) the base value (the “Base Value”) for the Stock Appreciation
Right, which for purposes of a Stock Appreciation Right which is not a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, shall be not less than
the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right, (iii) the period during which the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised;
provided, however, that no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from

Right, the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be granted at the same time as the related Option, and the following special rules
shall apply:

 

(a)          The
Base Value shall be equal to or greater than the per share exercise price under the related Option;

 

(b)          The
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for all or part of the shares of Common Stock which are subject to the related
Option, but solely upon the surrender by the Holder of the Holder’s right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related
Option (and when a share of Common Stock is purchased under the related Option, an equivalent portion of the related Tandem Stock
Appreciation Right shall be cancelled);

 

(c)          The
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall expire no later than the date of the expiration of the related Option;

 

(d)          The
value of the payment with respect to the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the
difference between the per share exercise price under the related Option and the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock
subject to the related Option at the time the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, multiplied by the number of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is exercised; and

 

(e)          The
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised solely when the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock subject to the related
Option exceeds the per share exercise price under the related Option.

RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION

 

Section 15.1         Adjustments
to Common Stock. The shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan are shares of Common Stock as presently
constituted; provided, however, that if, and whenever, prior to the expiration or distribution to the Holder of shares
of Common Stock underlying an Award theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common
Stock or the payment of a stock dividend on Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which such Award may thereafter be exercised or satisfied, as applicable, (i) in the event of an
increase in the number of outstanding shares, shall be proportionately increased, and the purchase price per share of the Common
Stock shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares, shall be proportionately
reduced, and the purchase price per share of the Common Stock shall be proportionately increased. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or any other provision of this Article XV, any adjustment made with respect to an Award which is an Option shall comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Option granted under
the Plan to become subject to Section 409A of the Code.

Section 15.2         Recapitalization.
If the Company recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure, thereafter upon any exercise or satisfaction, as applicable,
of a previously granted Award, the Holder shall be entitled to receive (or entitled to purchase, if applicable) under such Award,
in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Award, the number and class of shares of stock and securities
to which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to such recapitalization,
the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Award.

 

Section 15.3         Other
Events. In the event of changes to the outstanding Common Stock by reason of extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, mergers,
consolidations, combinations, split-ups, spin-offs, exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date
of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for under this Article XV, any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements
evidencing such Awards shall be adjusted by the Board, in such manner as the Board shall deem equitable or appropriate taking into
consideration the applicable accounting and tax consequences, as to the number and price of shares of Common Stock or other consideration
subject to such Awards. In the event of any adjustment pursuant to Sections 15.1, 15.2 or this Section 15.3, the aggregate number
of shares available under the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1 (and the Code Section 162(m) limit set forth therein) may be appropriately
adjusted by the Board, the determination of which shall be conclusive. In addition, the Committee may make provision for a cash
payment to a Participant or a person who has an outstanding Award. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Award shall
be rounded to the nearest whole number.

 

Section 15.4         Powers
Not Affected. The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of
the Board or of the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other
change of the Company’s capital structure or business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity
securities ahead of or affecting Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale,
lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

 

Section 15.5         No
Adjustment for Certain Awards. Except as hereinabove expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of
any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale,
upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible
into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect previously granted Awards,
and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards theretofore
granted or the purchase price per share, if applicable.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

The Plan shall continue
in effect, unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Article XVI, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on
which it is adopted by the Board (except as to Awards outstanding on that date). The Board in its discretion may terminate the
Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which Awards have not theretofore been granted; provided, however,
that the Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a Holder with respect to any Award theretofore
granted without the consent of the Holder. The Board shall have the right to alter or amend the Plan or any part hereof from time
to time; provided, however, that no change in any Award theretofore granted may be made which would materially and
adversely impair the rights of a Holder with respect to such Award without the consent of the Holder (unless such change is required
in order to cause the benefits under the Plan to qualify as “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code or to exempt the Plan or any Award from Section 409A of the Code).

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 17.1         No
Right to Award. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Company nor any action of the Board or the Committee shall be deemed

on behalf of the Company, and then solely to the extent and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein.

 

Section 17.2         No
Rights Conferred. Nothing contained in the Plan shall (i) confer upon any Employee any right with respect to continuation of
employment with the Company or any Affiliate, (ii) interfere in any way with any right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate
the employment of an Employee at any time, (iii) confer upon any Director any right with respect to continuation of such Director’s

Section 17.3         Other
Laws; No Fractional Shares; Withholding. The Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of the Plan to recognize
the exercise of any Award or to otherwise sell or issue shares of Common Stock in violation of any laws, rules or regulations,
and any postponement of the exercise or settlement of any Award under this provision shall not extend the term of such Award. Neither
the Company nor its directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to a Holder with respect to any Award (or shares
of Common Stock issuable thereunder) (i) that shall lapse because of such postponement, or (ii) for any failure to comply
with the requirements of any applicable law, rules or regulations, including but not limited to any failure to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of this Code. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, nor shall any cash in lieu
of fractional shares be paid. The Company shall have the right to deduct in cash (whether under this Plan or otherwise) in connection
with all Awards any taxes required by law to be withheld and to require any payments required to enable it to satisfy its withholding
obligations. In the case of any Award satisfied in the form of shares of Common Stock, no shares shall be issued unless and until
arrangements satisfactory to the Company shall have been made to satisfy any tax withholding obligations applicable with respect
to such Award. Subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, the Company shall have the right to retain, or
the Committee may, subject to such terms and conditions as it may establish from time to time, permit Holders to elect to tender,
Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable in respect of an Award) to satisfy, in whole or in part, the amount required to be
withheld.

 

Section 17.4         No
Restriction on Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Affiliate from
taking any corporate action which is deemed by the Company or such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether
or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No Employee, Director, Consultant,
beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Affiliate as a result of any such action.

 

Section 17.5         Restrictions
on Transfer. No Award under the Plan or any Award Agreement and no rights or interests herein or therein, shall or may be assigned,
transferred, sold, exchanged, encumbered, pledged or otherwise hypothecated or disposed of by a Holder except (i) by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) by gift to any Family Member of the Holder. An Award may be exercisable during the
lifetime of the Holder only by such Holder or by the Holder’s guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding any such
transfer, the Holder shall continue to be subject to the withholding requirements provided for under Section 17.3 hereof.

 

Section 17.6         Beneficiary
Designations. Each Holder may, from time to time, name a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be contingent or successive
beneficiaries) for purposes of receiving any amount which is payable in connection with an Award under the Plan upon or subsequent
to the Holder’s death. Each such beneficiary designation shall serve to revoke all prior beneficiary designations, be in
a form prescribed by the Company and be effective solely when filed by the Holder in writing with the Company during the Holder’s
lifetime. In the absence of any such written beneficiary designation, for purposes of the Plan, a Holder’s beneficiary shall
be the Holder’s estate.

Section 17.7         Rule
16b-3. It is intended that the Plan and any Award made to a person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall meet all
of the requirements of Rule 16b-3. If any provision of the Plan or of any such Award would disqualify the Plan or such Award under,
or would otherwise not comply with the requirements of, Rule 16b-3, such provision or Award shall be construed or deemed to have
been amended as necessary to conform to the requirements of Rule 16b-3.

 

Section 17.8         Section
162(m). It is intended that the Plan shall comply fully with and meet all the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code so
that Awards hereunder which are made to Holders who are “covered employees” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code)
shall constitute “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any Performance
Goal(s) applicable to Qualified Performance-Based Awards shall be objective, shall be established not later than ninety (90) days
after the beginning of any applicable Performance Period (or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based”
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code) and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, including
the requirement that the outcome of the Performance Goal or Goals be substantially uncertain (as defined in the regulations under
Section 162(m) of the Code) at the time established. The Performance Criteria to be utilized under the Plan to establish Performance
Goals shall consist of objective tests based on one or more of the following: earnings or earnings per share, cash flow or cash
flow per share, operating cash flow or operating cash flow per share revenue growth, product revenue growth, financial return ratios
(such as return on equity, return on investment and/or return on assets), share price performance, stockholder return, equity and/or
value, operating income, operating margins, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, earnings, pre- or post-tax
income, economic value added (or an equivalent metric), profit returns and margins, credit quality, sales growth, market share,
working capital levels, comparisons with various stock market indices, year-end cash, debt reduction, assets under management,
operating efficiencies, strategic partnerships or transactions (including co-development, co-marketing, profit sharing, joint venture
or other similar arrangements), and/or financing and other capital raising transaction. Performance criteria may be established
on a Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more Company business units or divisions or subsidiaries; and either in absolute
terms, relative to the performance of one or more similarly situated companies, or relative to the performance of an index covering
a peer group of companies. When establishing Performance Goals for the applicable Performance Period, the Committee may exclude
any or all “extraordinary items” as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles including, without
limitation, the charges or costs associated with restructurings of the Company, discontinued operations, other unusual or non-recurring
items, and the cumulative effects of accounting changes, and as identified in the Company’s financial statements, notes to
the Company’s financial statements or management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
contained in the Company’s most recent annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Exchange Act. Holders who are “covered employees” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code) shall be eligible to receive
payment under a Qualified Performance-Based Award which is subject to achievement of a Performance Goal or Goals only if the applicable
Performance Goal or Goals are achieved within the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the Committee. If any provision
of the Plan would disqualify the Plan or would not otherwise permit the Plan to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code as so intended,
such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the requirements or provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.
The Committee may postpone the exercising of Awards, the issuance or delivery of Common Stock under any Award or any action permitted
under the Plan to prevent the Company or any subsidiary from being denied a federal income tax deduction with respect to any Award,
provided that such deferral satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Section 17.9         Section
409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee shall have no authority to issue an Award under the Plan
with terms and/or conditions which would cause such Award to constitute non-qualified “deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, by way of example but not limitation, no Option shall be granted under the Plan with a per
share Option exercise price which is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Award Agreement shall provide for any deferral feature with respect to an Award
which constitutes a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Award Agreements are intended to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (so as to be exempt therefrom) and shall be so interpreted and construed.

 

Section 17.10       Indemnification.
Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred thereby in connection with
or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such person may be made a party or may be involved by reason
of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid thereby in settlement thereof,
with the Company’s approval, or paid thereby in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against
such person; provided, however, that such person shall give 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. The foregoing right of indemnification
shall not be exclusive and shall be independent of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under
the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise.

 

Section 17.11      Other
Plans. No Award, payment or amount received hereunder shall be taken into account in computing an Employee’s salary or
compensation for the purposes of determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, life insurance or other benefit plan of
the Company or any Affiliate, unless such other plan specifically provides for the inclusion of such Award, payment or amount received.
Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company to establish other plans or to pay compensation to its
employees, in cash or property, in a manner which is not expressly authorized under the Plan.

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

Section 17.12       Limits
of Liability. Any liability of the Company with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon the contractual obligations
created under the Plan and the Award Agreement. None of the Company, any member of the Board nor any member of the Committee shall
have any liability to any party for any action taken or not taken, in good faith, in connection with or under the Plan.

 

Section 17.13      Governing
Law. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without
regard to principles of conflicts of law.

 

Section 17.14       Severability
of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid or unenforceable provision
had not been included in the Plan.

 

Section 17.15      No
Funding. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make
any other segregation of funds or assets to ensure the payment of any Award.

 

Section 17.16       Headings.
Headings used throughout the Plan are for convenience only and shall not be given legal significance.

 

Section 17.17       Terms
of Award Agreements. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which Award Agreement, if it provides for the issuance
of Common Stock, shall require the Holder to enter into and be bound by the terms of the Company’s Stockholders’ Agreement,
if any. The terms of the Award Agreements utilized under the Plan need not be the same.
