shareholders of Franklin, as required; causing all necessary documents to be properly and timely prepared, executed, approved

	Agreement with Tiber Creek Corporation	Page Number 4

 

8. Actions
and Understandings following the Business Combination.

 

8.1.
Franklin understands the obligations and responsibilities that will arise in regard to its becoming a reporting company and
the trading of its securities in the public market. Franklin understands that in order to achieve the greatest market
interest in its securities it, its officers and its directors, all or some, will be required to continuously interact with
the financial community. This interaction will include, without limitation, timely filing of reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, including audited financial statements; annual reports to shareholders and shareholder meetings;
issuing periodic press releases; and meetings and discussions with existing and prospective brokers, market makers,
investment bankers and institutions.

 

8.2.
Franklin understands that the completion of the Transactions will not, in itself, result in capital investment in the Reporting
Company. The public status of the Reporting Company and its introduction to market makers and others in the financial community
may result in investment interest. However, investment interest will depend upon the success of the Reporting Company, market
conditions and other factors over which neither Tiber Creek nor its affiliates have any control.

 

8.3.
Franklin understands that the ultimate judgement of the financial community of the investment merits of the Reporting Company
will depend upon the Reporting Company's ability to successfully carry out its business plans and operations, to operate at a
profit and similar business considerations. Franklin represents in good faith that it currently has no reason to believe that
it will not be able to complete the Transactions and to achieve its business objectives.

 

8.4.
Franklin understands that the first trading in the Reporting Company's securities may be limited, and that to increase the amount,
depth and market price of its securities will require both time and effort by the Reporting Company to develop relations with
market makers and to create strong and stable trading of the Reporting Company's securities.

 

9.
Compliance with Securities Law.

 

Under the securities laws:

 

9.1.
Franklin and its affiliates will need to furnish all information and documents concerning it and its affiliates required for the
preparation and filing of the Registration Statement by the Reporting Company which information must be complete and accurate
and not contain any material misstatement or omit any material information.

 

9.2.
The Reporting Company must at all times observe and comply with Federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations incident
to the issuance and trading of its securities and must take all steps reasonably required within its control to prohibit any persons,
whether or not affiliated with the Reporting Company, from engaging in any transactions in contravention of such laws, rules and
regulations.

 

9.3.
Franklin and its affiliates must not at any time knowingly engage in any activity which would constitute a prohibited market manipulation
of the securities of the Reporting Company and will need to take all steps reasonably required within its control to prohibit
any officer, director, other affiliate, agent or employee from engaging in such conduct.

 

    

     

    

 

	Agreement with Tiber Creek Corporation	Page Number 5

 

9.4.
The Reporting Company should not issue any securities to any person for the promotion or maintenance of a trading market in the
Reporting Company's securities without first receiving an opinion of qualified counsel that such issuance will be in accord with
securities laws, rules and regulations and should not, directly or indirectly, receive from such persons any capital by loan,
investment or otherwise resulting from the sale or pledge of such securities.

Any

ARTICLE III
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Article XII of this Plan, the number of Common Shares that may be issued or transferred under this Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 4,941,117 shares. Such shares may be shares of original issuance or treasury shares or a combination of the foregoing.

(a)Common Shares covered by an Award granted under this Plan will not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued or transferred.

(b)If any Award is forfeited, expires, terminates, otherwise lapses or is settled for cash, in whole or in part, without the delivery of Common Shares, then the Common Shares covered by such forfeited, expired, terminated, lapsed or cash-settled Award shall again be available for grant under this Plan. In the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from an Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right are satisfied by the tendering of Common Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Common Shares by the Company, the Common Shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the Common Shares available for Awards under this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the following will not again become available for issuance under this Plan: (i) any Common Shares withheld in respect of taxes upon settlement of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) any Common Shares tendered or withheld to pay an Exercise Price, (iii) any Common Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with its stock settlement on exercise thereof, and (iv) any Common Shares reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds.
3.2 Share Limits. Notwithstanding anything in this Article III or elsewhere in this Plan to the contrary, and subject to adjustments as provided in Article XII of this Plan, the limits specified below shall apply to any grants of the following types of Awards:

(b)Performance-Based Awards Subject to Article X. No Participant shall be granted, in the aggregate during any calendar year, performance-based Awards that are designated by the Committee as subject to Article X covering more than a total of two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) Common Shares.

(c)Performance Units. The aggregate dollar value of Performance Units granted to any Participant in any calendar year shall not exceed $30,000,000. The value of the Performance Units shall be determined based on the Fair Market Value of each Award on the Date of Grant.

(d)Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding any designation of an Option as an Incentive Stock Option in an Award Agreement, to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Shares with respect to
which the Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the portion of the Options falling within such limit shall be Incentive Stock Options and the excess Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For these purposes, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option was granted. Incentive Stock Options covering no more than 4,941,117 Common Shares may be granted under this Plan.

(e) Non-Employee Director Limit. The aggregate dollar value of Awards granted to any non-Employee Director in any calendar year shall not exceed $750,000. The value of the Awards shall be determined based on the Fair Market Value of each Award on the Date of Grant.
3.3 Minimum Vesting Requirements. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, on and after the Effective Date, the Committee shall not award more than 5% of the aggregate number of Common Shares that become available for grant under this Plan as of the Effective Date pursuant to Awards that are solely subject to vesting conditions or performance periods that are less than one year following the Date of Grant of the applicable Award, subject, in each case, to the Committee’s authority under this Plan to vest Awards earlier, as the Committee deems appropriate, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment or service or otherwise as permitted by this Plan.

As a condition to the effectiveness of any grant or Award to be made hereunder to a Participant who is an employee of a Designated Subsidiary, whether or not such Participant is also employed by the Company or another Subsidiary, the Committee may require such Designated Subsidiary to agree to transfer to such employee (when, as and if provided for under this Plan and any applicable agreement entered into with any such employee pursuant to this Plan) the Common Shares that would otherwise be delivered by the Company, upon receipt by such Designated Subsidiary of any consideration then otherwise payable by such Participant to the Company. Any such award shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Participant and the Designated Subsidiary, in lieu of the Company, on terms consistent with this Plan and approved by the Committee and such Designated Subsidiary. All such Common Shares so delivered by or to a Designated Subsidiary shall be treated as if they had been delivered by or to the Company for purposes of Article III of this Plan, and all 

references to the Company in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to such Designated Subsidiary, except for purposes of the definition of “Board” and “Committee” and except in other cases where the context otherwise requires.
14.2 Employees Outside the US. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of the United States of America as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the Secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in the same manner as this Plan. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements, however, shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the shareholders of the Company.
ARTICLE XV
ADMINISTRATION
15.1 Delegation to Committee. The Board hereby delegates authority to administer this Plan to the Compensation Committee of the Board (or its successor(s)), or any other committee of the Board hereafter designated by the Board to administer this Plan, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any persons to whom such power is delegated. The Committee described in this Section 15.1 may from time to time delegate all or any part of its authority under this Plan to a subcommittee thereof (to the extent of any such delegation, references in this Plan to the Committee will be deemed to be references to such subcommittee). A majority of the Committee (or subcommittee thereof) shall constitute a quorum, and the action of the members of the Committee (or subcommittee thereof) present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, shall be the acts of the Committee (or subcommittee thereof).
15.2 Committee Requirements. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors who are also Outside Directors. The Board shall have discretion to determine whether it intends to comply with the exemption requirements of Section 16b-3 and/or Section 162(m) of the Code. However, if the Board intends to satisfy such exemption requirements, with respect to Awards to any Covered Employee and with respect to any insider subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee shall be a compensation committee of the Board that at all times consists solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors who are also Outside Directors. Within the scope of that authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Outside Directors the authority to grant Awards to eligible persons who are either (X) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such Award or (Y) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Nothing herein shall create an inference that an Award is not validly granted under this Plan in the event Awards are granted under this Plan by a Committee that does not at all times consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors who are also Outside Directors.
15.3 Interpretation. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of this Plan or of any Award Agreement and any determination by the Committee pursuant to any provision of this Plan or of any such Award Agreement, notification or document shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith.
15.4 Company’s Rights Upon Occurrence of Detrimental Activity. Any Award Agreement may provide (whether or not such would result in additional tax to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code) that if a Participant, either during employment by the Company or a Subsidiary or within a specified period after termination of such employment, shall engage in any Detrimental Activity, and the Board shall so find, forthwith upon notice of such finding, the Participant shall, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement:
(a) Return to the Company, in exchange for payment by the Company of any amount actually paid therefor by the Participant, all Common Shares that the Participant has not disposed of that were offered pursuant to this Plan within a specified period prior to the date of the commencement of such Detrimental Activity, and

(b) With respect to any Common Shares so acquired that the Participant has disposed of, pay to the Company in cash the difference between:

(i)Any amount actually paid therefor by the Participant pursuant to this Plan, and

(ii)The Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date of such acquisition.
To the extent that such amounts are not paid to the Company, the Company may set off the amounts so payable to it against any amounts (but only to the extent that such amount would not be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that may be owing from time to time by the Company or a Subsidiary to the Participant, whether as wages, deferred compensation or vacation pay or in the form of any other benefit or for any other reason.
15.5 Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any of the foregoing) will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required or permitted to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or policy (or pursuant to any other policy adopted by the Company at the direction of the Board, including the Company’s current clawback policy).
15.6 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent.
15.7 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement of fractions in cash.
ARTICLE XVI
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
16.1 Amendment or Termination Authority. The Company, by action of the Board (or its designee), may at any time and from time to time amend or terminate this Plan in whole or in part. Any amendment which must be approved by the shareholders of the Company in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Common Shares are traded or quoted shall not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained. Presentation of this Plan or any amendment thereof for shareholder approval shall not be construed to limit the Company’s authority to offer similar or dissimilar benefits in plans that do not require shareholder approval. Any amendment or termination of this Plan shall not impair in any material way the rights or obligations of any Participant under any Award that is outstanding as of the effective date of the amendment or termination without the written consent of the Participant. The Committee shall maintain its right to exercise its authority under this Plan with respect to any outstanding Awards at the effective date of termination.
16.2 Deferrals. Except with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Committee may permit Participants to elect to defer the issuance of Common Shares or the settlement of awards in cash under this Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures or programs as it may establish for purposes of this Plan and which are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Committee also may provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents or interest on the deferral amounts.
16.3 Conditions. The Committee may condition the grant of any Award or combination of Awards authorized under this Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by the Company or a Subsidiary to the Participant.
16.4 Special Circumstances. If permitted by Section 409A of the Code and except in the case of an Award subject to Article X (other than in connection with the Participant’s death or Disability, or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of an otherwise available exemption under Section 162(m) of the Code, in case of termination of employment by reason of death, Disability or normal or early retirement, or in the case of hardship or other special circumstances, of a Participant who holds Options or Stock Appreciation Rights not immediately exercisable in full, or any Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, or any Performance Shares or Performance Units which have not been fully earned, or other Share-Based Awards subject to restrictions or conditions, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, or the time at which such substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction on transfer will lapse for Restricted Shares or Restricted Units, or the time at which such Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned, 

or the time when such restrictions or conditions will terminate with respect to Other Share-Based Awards, or may waive any other limitation or requirement under any such award.
16.5 Change in Exercise Price Prohibited. Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in Article XII of this Plan, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an Exercise Price that is less than the Exercise Price of the original Option Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, without shareholder approval.
16.6 No Right to Continued Employment. This Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment or other service at any time. Prior to exercise of any Option, and prior to exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to any other Award, the Participant may be required, at the Company’s request, to certify in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Company that the Participant has not engaged in, and has no present intention to engage in the future in, any Detrimental Activity.
16.7 Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option that was intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option from qualifying as such, that provision shall be null and void with respect to such Option. Such provision, however, shall remain in effect for other Options and there shall be no further effect on any provision of this Plan.

ARTICLE XVII 
GOVERNING LAW
