No member of the Board, the Administrator or any officer or employee of the Company or an Affiliate or any of their agents

determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Covered Person shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees)

proceeding to which such Covered Person may be a party or in which such Covered Person may be involved by reason of any
action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or any Award Agreement and (ii) any and all amounts paid by such Covered

final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case not subject to further appeal, determines that the acts or
omissions of such Covered Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Covered Person's bad faith,
fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the
Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws (in each case, as amended and/or restated). The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Covered Persons may be entitled under

or event, other than an Equity Restructuring (as defined below), affects the Company shares such that an adjustment is determined
by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended
to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Award, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable,
adjust any or all of the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property)
with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan.

                                                                                       (ii)                        The
Administrator is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards
in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including the events described in Section 1.5(c)(i) or the
occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), other than an Equity Restructuring) affecting the Company, any
Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any
Affiliate, or of changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other
requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles or law, whenever the Administrator
determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Award, including providing for
(A) adjustment to (1) the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate and (2) the Exercise Price
(as defined below) with respect to any Award and (B) a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the
exercisability or vesting of, or lapse of restrictions on, Awards, or accelerating the termination of Awards by providing for
a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event, or, if deemed appropriate or desirable, providing for a
cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in consideration for the cancellation of such Award (it being understood
that, in such event, any option or stock appreciation right having a per share Exercise Price equal to, or in excess of, the
Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a share subject to such option or stock appreciation right may be cancelled and
terminated without any payment or consideration therefor); provided, however, that with respect to
options and stock appreciation rights, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, such adjustment shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 424(h) of the Code (as defined below).

(iii)                       
In the event of (A) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (B) a sale of all or substantially all the Company’s
assets or (C) a merger, reorganization or consolidation involving the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, the
Administrator shall have the power to:

(1)  provide
that outstanding options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (including any related dividend equivalent right) and/or
other Awards granted under the Plan shall either continue in effect, be assumed or an equivalent award shall be substituted therefor
by the successor corporation or a parent corporation or subsidiary corporation;

(2)  cancel,
effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (including
each dividend equivalent right related thereto) and/or other Awards granted under the Plan outstanding immediately prior to such
event (whether or not then exercisable) and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the holder of such Award a cash
payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Administrator) of the
shares subject to such Award (or the value of such Award, as determined by the Administrator, if not based on the Fair Market Value
of shares) over the aggregate Exercise Price of such Award (or the grant price of such Award, if any, if applicable)(it being understood
that, in such event, any option or stock appreciation right having a per share Exercise Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair
Market Value of a share subject to such option or stock appreciation right may be cancelled and terminated without any payment
or consideration therefor); or

(3)  notify
the holder of an option or stock appreciation right in writing or electronically that each option and stock appreciation right
shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of such notice, or such shorter period as the Administrator
may determine to be reasonable, and the option or stock appreciation right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period (which
period shall expire no later than immediately prior to the consummation of the corporate transaction).

                                                                                    
(iv)                       
In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5(c):

(A)            
The number and type of securities or other property subject to each outstanding Award and the Exercise Price or grant price
thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted; and

(B)             
The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator may deem appropriate to reflect such
Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but
not limited to, adjustment of the limitation set forth in Section 1.5(a)). The adjustments provided under this Section 1.5(c)(iv)
shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected participant and the Company.

(E)

or at law or in equity. Any determination of whether a grantee’s employment or consultancy/service relationship is (or is

shall be determined by the Administrator.

(e)               
“Equity Restructuring” shall mean a non-reciprocal transaction between the Company and its stockholders, such
as a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, that
affects the shares of Common Stock (or other securities of the Company) or the share price thereof and causes a change in the per
share value of the shares underlying outstanding Awards.

(f)               
“Exercise Price” shall mean (i) in the case of options, the price specified in the applicable Award Agreement
as the price-per-share at which such share can be purchased pursuant to the option or (ii) in the case of stock appreciation
rights, the price specified in the applicable Award Agreement as the reference price-per-share used to calculate the amount payable
to the grantee.

(g)              
The “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock on any day shall be the closing price on the New York Stock
Exchange, or such other primary stock exchange upon which such shares are then listed, as reported for such day in The Wall Street

in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence for the next preceding trading day. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if there is no reported closing price or high bid/low asked price that satisfies the preceding sentences, or if
otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any day shall
be determined by such methods and procedures as shall be established from time to time by the Administrator.
The “Fair Market Value” of any property other than Common Stock shall be
the fair market value of such property determined by such methods and procedures as shall be established from time to time by the
Administrator.

"Person" shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, incorporated
or unincorporated association, joint venture, joint stock company, governmental body or other entity of any kind.

(i)                
“Repricing” shall mean (i) lowering the Exercise Price of an option or a stock appreciation right after
it has been granted, (ii) the cancellation of an option or a stock appreciation right in exchange for cash or another Award
when the Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares subject to the Award and (iii) any other action
with respect to an option or a stock appreciation right that is treated as a repricing under (A) generally accepted accounting
principles or (B) any applicable stock exchange rules.

ARTICLE
II.

Awards Under The Plan

2.1.        
Agreements Evidencing Awards

Each
Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written certificate (“Award Agreement”), which
shall contain such provisions as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable and
which may, but need not, require execution or acknowledgment by a grantee. The Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions
of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

2.2.
        Grant of
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

(a)               
Stock Option Grants. The Administrator may grant stock options (“options”) to purchase shares of Common
Stock from the Company to such Key Persons, and in such amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other
terms and conditions, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions
of the Plan. No option will be treated as an “incentive stock option” for purposes of the Code. It shall be the intent
of the Administrator to not grant an Award in the form of stock options to any Key Person who is then subject to the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Award if the Common Stock underlying such Award does not then qualify as
“service recipient stock” for purposes of Section 409A. Furthermore, it shall be the intent of the Administrator,
in granting options to Key Persons who are subject to Section 409A and/or 457 of the Code, to structure such options so as
to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and/or 457 of the Code, as applicable.

    	8

    	 

    

(b)              
Stock Appreciation Right Grants; Types of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant stock
appreciation rights to such Key Persons, and in such amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms
and conditions, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan. The terms of a stock appreciation
right may provide that it shall be automatically exercised for a payment upon the happening of a specified event that is outside
the control of the grantee and that it shall not be otherwise exercisable. Stock appreciation rights
may be granted in connection with all or any part of, or independently of, any option granted under the Plan. It shall be the intent
of the Administrator to not grant an Award in the form of stock appreciation rights to any Key Person (i) who is then
subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Award if the Common Stock underlying such Award
does not then qualify as “service recipient stock” for purposes of Section 409A or (ii) if such Award would
create adverse tax consequences for such Key Person under Section 457A of the Code. Furthermore, it shall be the intent of
the Administrator, in granting stock appreciation rights to Key Persons who are subject to Section 409A and/or 457 of the
Code, to structure such stock appreciation rights so as to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and/or 457 of the
Code, to the extent applicable.

(c)               
Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights. The grantee of a stock appreciation right shall have the right, subject to the
terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, to receive from the Company an amount
equal to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation
right over the Exercise Price of the stock appreciation right, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares with respect to which
the stock appreciation right is exercised. Each Award Agreement with respect to a stock appreciation right shall set forth the
Exercise Price of such Award and, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, the Exercise Price of a stock
appreciation right shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; provided that in no
event may such Exercise Price be less than the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date
of grant and (B) the par value of a share of Common Stock. Payment upon exercise of a stock appreciation right
shall be in cash or in shares of Common Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation
right) or any combination of both, all as the Administrator shall determine. Repricing of stock appreciation rights granted under
the Plan shall not be permitted (1) to the extent such action could cause adverse tax consequences to the grantee under Sections 409A
or 457A of the Code or (2) without prior shareholder approval, to the extent such approval would be required to be obtained
by the Company pursuant to the applicable rules of any applicable stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, and
any action that would be deemed to result in a Repricing of a stock appreciation right shall be deemed null and void if it would
cause such adverse tax consequences or if any requisite shareholder approval related thereto is not obtained prior to the effective
time of such action. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right granted in connection with an option, the number of shares
subject to the option shall be reduced by the number of shares with respect to which the stock
appreciation right is exercised. Upon the exercise of an option in connection with which a stock appreciation right has
been granted, the number of shares subject to the stock appreciation right shall be reduced
by the number of shares with respect to which the option is exercised.

    	9

    	 

    

(d)              
Option Exercise Price. Each Award Agreement with respect to an option shall set forth the Exercise Price of such
Award and, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, the Exercise Price of an option shall equal the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; provided that in no event may such Exercise Price be less
than the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant and (ii) the par value
of a share of Common Stock. Repricing of options granted under the Plan shall not be permitted (1) to the extent such action
could cause adverse tax consequences to the grantee under Sections 409A or 457A of the Code or (2) without prior shareholder
approval, to the extent such approval would be required to be obtained by the Company pursuant to the applicable rules of any applicable
stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, and any action that would be deemed to result in a Repricing of an option
shall be deemed null and void if it would cause such adverse tax consequences or if any requisite shareholder approval related
thereto is not obtained prior to the effective time of such action.

2.3.        
Exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Subject to
the other provisions of this Article II and the Plan, each option and stock appreciation right granted under the Plan shall
be exercisable as follows:

(a)               
Timing and Extent of Exercise. Options and stock appreciation rights shall be exercisable at such times and under
such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the corresponding Award Agreement, but in no event shall any
portion of such Award be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which such Award was granted. Unless the
applicable Award Agreement otherwise provides, an option or stock appreciation right may be exercised from time to time as to all
or part of the shares as to which such Award is then exercisable.

(b)              
Notice of Exercise. An option or stock appreciation right shall be exercised by the filing of a written notice with
the Company or the Company’s designated exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”),
on such form and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe.

(c)               
Payment of Exercise Price. Any written notice of exercise of an option shall be accompanied by payment for
the shares being purchased. Such payment shall be made: (i) by certified or official bank check (or the equivalent
thereof acceptable to the Company or its Exchange Agent) for the full option Exercise
Price; (ii) with the consent of the Administrator, which consent shall be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the
Administrator, by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (determined
as of the exercise date) equal to all or part of the option Exercise Price and a certified
or official bank check (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company or its Exchange
Agent) for any remaining portion of the full option Exercise Price; or (iii) at the sole discretion of the Administrator and to
the extent permitted by law, by such other provision, consistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator may from time
to time prescribe (whether directly or indirectly through the Exchange Agent), or by any combination of the foregoing payment methods.

    	10

    	 

    

(d)              
Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13, promptly after receiving
payment of the full option Exercise Price, or after receiving notice of the exercise of a stock appreciation right for which the
Administrator determines payment will be made partly or entirely in shares, the Company or its Exchange Agent shall (i)
deliver to the grantee, or to such other Person as may then have the right to exercise
the Award, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock for which the Award has been exercised or, in the
case of stock appreciation rights, for which the Administrator determines will be made in shares or (ii) establish an account evidencing
ownership of the stock in uncertificated form. If the method of payment employed upon an
option exercise so requires, and if applicable law permits, an optionee may direct the Company or its Exchange Agent, as the case
may be, to deliver the stock certificate(s) to the optionee’s stockbroker.

(e)               
No Stockholder Rights. No grantee of an option or stock appreciation right (or other Person having the right to exercise
such Award) shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares subject to such Award until the
issuance of a stock certificate to such Person for such shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5(c), no adjustment
shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities
or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is
issued.

2.4.
        Termination
of Employment/Service; Death Subsequent to a Termination of Employment/Service

(a)                General
Rule. Except to the extent otherwise provided in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this
Section 2.4 or Section 3.5(b)(iii), a grantee who incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service
relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may exercise any outstanding option or stock appreciation
right on the following terms and conditions: (i) exercise may be made only to the extent that the grantee was entitled
to exercise the Award on the date of termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship, as applicable;
and (ii) exercise must occur within three months after termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship
but in no event after the original expiration date of the Award; it being understood that then outstanding options and stock
appreciation rights shall not be affected by a change of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and
its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates so long as the grantee continues to be a director, officer or employee of, or a consultant or service
provider to (or a Person employed by or providing services to any entity that that is itself a consultant or service provider
to), the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(b)              
Dismissal “for Cause”. If a grantee incurs a termination of employment
or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates “for
Cause”, all options and stock appreciation rights not theretofore exercised shall immediately terminate upon such
termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship.

    	11

    	 

    

(c)                Retirement.
If a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates as the result of his or her retirement (as defined below), then any outstanding option or stock appreciation right
shall, to the extent exercisable at the time of such retirement, remain exercisable for a period of three years after such
retirement; provided that in no event may such option or stock appreciation right be exercised following the original
expiration date of the Award. For this purpose, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement,
“retirement” shall mean a grantee’s resignation of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the
Company and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, with the Company’s or its applicable Affiliate’s prior consent, on or after
(i) his or her 65th birthday, (ii) the date on which he or she has attained age 60 and completed at least five
years of service with the Company or one or more of its Affiliates (using any method of calculation the Administrator deems
appropriate) or (iii) if approved by the Administrator, on or after his or her having completed at least 20 years
of service with the Company or one or more of its Affiliates  (using any method of calculation the Administrator deems appropriate).

(d)              
Disability. If a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates  by reason of a Disability, then any outstanding option or stock appreciation right shall, to the extent exercisable at the time of
such termination, remain exercisable for a period of one year after such termination; provided that in no event may such
option or stock appreciation right be exercised following the original expiration date of the Award.

(e)               
Death.

                                                                
(i)           
Termination of Employment/Service as a Result of Grantee’s Death. If a grantee incurs a termination of employment
or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries  and Affiliates  as the result of his or her death, then
any outstanding option or stock appreciation right shall, to the extent exercisable at the time of such death, remain exercisable
for a period of one year after such death; provided that in no event may such option or stock appreciation right be exercised
following the original expiration date of the Award.

(ii)Restrictions
on Exercise Following Death. Any such exercise of an Award following a grantee’s
death shall be made only by the grantee’s executor or administrator or other duly appointed representative reasonably acceptable
to the Administrator, unless the grantee’s will specifically disposes of such Award, in which case such exercise shall
be made only by the recipient of such specific disposition. If a grantee’s personal representative or the recipient of a
specific disposition under the grantee’s will shall be entitled to exercise any Award pursuant to the preceding sentence,
such representative or recipient shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement
which would have applied to the grantee.

(f)               
Administrator Discretion. The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify the application of the foregoing provisions
of this Section 2.4.

2.5.        
Transferability of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the applicable Award Agreement evidencing an option or stock appreciation right,
during the lifetime of a grantee, each such Award granted to a grantee shall be exercisable
only by the grantee, and no such Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Administrator may, in any
applicable Award Agreement evidencing an option or stock appreciation right, permit a grantee to transfer all or some of the options
or stock appreciation rights to (a) the grantee’s spouse, children or grandchildren (“Immediate Family Members”),
(b) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members or (c) other parties approved by the
Administrator. Following any such transfer, any transferred options and stock appreciation rights shall continue to be subject
to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer.

2.6.        
Grant of Restricted Stock

(a)               
Restricted Stock Grants. The Administrator may grant restricted shares of Common Stock to such Key Persons, in such
amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine,
subject to the provisions of the Plan, which provisions shall include, without limitation, the right of the Administrator at
its sole election and with the prior approval of the grantee, the right to redeem such shares upon vesting at their Fair Market
Value on the date of vesting. A grantee of a restricted stock Award shall have no rights with respect to such Award unless
such grantee accepts the Award within such period as the Administrator shall specify by accepting delivery of a restricted stock
Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator shall determine.

(b)              
Issuance of Stock Certificate. Promptly after a grantee accepts a restricted
stock Award in accordance with Section 2.6(a), subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13, the Company or its Exchange Agent shall
issue to the grantee a stock certificate or stock certificates for the shares of Common Stock covered by the Award or shall
establish an account evidencing ownership of the stock in uncertificated form. Upon the issuance of such stock certificates, or
establishment of such account, the grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock, subject
to: (i) the nontransferability restrictions and forfeiture provisions described in the Plan (including paragraphs (d)
and (e) of this Section 2.6); (ii) in the Administrator’s sole discretion, a requirement, as set forth in
the Award Agreement, that any dividends paid on such shares shall be held in escrow and, unless otherwise determined by
the Administrator, shall remain forfeitable until all restrictions on such shares have lapsed; and (iii) any other restrictions
and conditions contained in the applicable Award Agreement.

(c)               
Custody of Stock Certificate. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, any stock certificates issued evidencing
shares of restricted stock shall remain in the possession of the Company (or such other custodian
as may be designated by the Administrator) until such shares are free of any restrictions specified in the applicable Award
Agreement. The Administrator may direct that such stock certificates bear a legend setting
forth the applicable restrictions on transferability.

(d)              
Nontransferability. Shares of restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered
or disposed of prior to the lapsing of all restrictions thereon, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the
applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the
date or dates (which may depend upon or be related to the attainment of performance goals and other conditions) on which the nontransferability
of the restricted stock shall lapse.

    	13

    	 

    

(e)                Consequence
of Termination of Employment/Service. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement,
(i) a grantee’s termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates for any reason other than death or Disability shall cause the immediate forfeiture of all shares
of restricted stock that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination of employment or consultancy/service
relationship and (ii) if a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the
Company and its Subsidiaries  and Affiliates as the result of his or her death or Disability, all shares of restricted stock
that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination shall immediately vest as of such date; it being understood that
then outstanding restricted stock Awards shall not be affected by a change of employment or consultancy/service relationship
with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates  so long as the grantee continues to be a director, officer or employee
of, or a consultant or service provider to (or a Person employed by or providing services to any entity that that is itself a
consultant or service provider to), the Company or any of its Subsidiaries  or
Affiliates. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator, all dividends paid on shares forfeited under this Section 2.6(e) that have not theretofore been directly
remitted to the grantee shall also be forfeited, whether by termination of any escrow arrangement under which such dividends
are held or otherwise. The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify the application of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.6(e).

2.7.        
Grant of Restricted Stock Units

(a)               
Restricted Stock Unit Grants. The Administrator may grant restricted stock
units to such Key Persons, and in such amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions,
as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan. A restricted stock unit granted under the Plan shall
confer upon the grantee a right to receive from the Company, conditioned upon the occurrence of such vesting event as shall be
determined by the Administrator and specified in the Award Agreement, the number of such grantee’s restricted stock units
that vest upon the occurrence of such vesting event multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date
of vesting. Payment upon vesting of a restricted stock unit shall be in cash or in shares of
Common Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of vesting) or both, all as the Administrator shall determine,
and such payments shall be made to the grantee at such time as provided in the Award Agreement, which the Administrator shall intend
to be (i) if Section 409A of the Code is applicable to the grantee, within the period required by Section 409A such
that it qualifies as a “short-term deferral” pursuant to Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder,
unless the Administrator shall provide for deferral of the Award intended to comply with Section 409A, (ii) if Section 457A
of the Code is applicable to the grantee, within the period required by Section 457A(d)(3)(B) such that it qualifies for the
exemption thereunder, or (iii) if Sections 409A and 457A of the Code are not applicable to the grantee, at such time
as determined by the Administrator.

(b)              
Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator may include in any Award Agreement with respect to a restricted stock unit
a dividend equivalent right entitling the grantee to receive amounts equal to the ordinary dividends that would be paid, during
the time such Award is outstanding and unvested, and/or, if payment of the vested Award is deferred, during the period of such
deferral following such vesting event, on the shares of Common Stock underlying such Award if such shares were then outstanding.
In the event such a provision is included in a Award Agreement, the Administrator shall determine whether such payments shall be
(i) paid to the holder of the Award, as specified in the Award Agreement, either (A) at the same time as the underlying
dividends are paid, regardless of the fact that the restricted stock unit has not theretofore vested, (B) at the time at which
the Award’s vesting event occurs, conditioned upon the occurrence of the vesting event, (C) once the Award has vested,
at the same time as the underlying dividends are paid, regardless of the fact that payment of the vested restricted stock unit
has been deferred, and/or (D) at the time at which the corresponding vested restricted stock units are paid, (ii) made
in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property and (iii) subject to such other vesting and forfeiture provisions and other
terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate and as shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

    	14

    	 

    

(c)                Consequence
of Termination of Employment/Service. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement,
(i) a grantee’s termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its
Subsidiaries and
Affiliates  for any reason other than death or Disability shall cause the immediate forfeiture of all restricted stock units
that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship and
(ii) if a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its
Subsidiaries and
Affiliates  as the result of his or her death or Disability, all restricted stock units that have not yet vested as of the
date of such termination shall immediately vest as of such date; it being understood that then outstanding restricted stock
units shall not be affected by a change of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its
Subsidiaries and
Affiliates  so long as the grantee continues to be a director, officer or employee of, or a consultant or service provider
to (or a Person employed by or providing services to any entity that that is itself a consultant or service provider to), the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any dividend equivalent rights on any
restricted stock units forfeited under this Section 2.7(c) that have not theretofore been directly remitted to the
grantee shall also be forfeited, whether by termination of any escrow arrangement under which such dividends are held or
otherwise. The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify the application of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.7(c).

(d)              
No Stockholder Rights. No grantee of a restricted stock unit shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to such Award unless and until a stock certificate is issued with respect to such Award upon the vesting of
such Award (it being understood that the Administrator shall determine whether to pay any vested restricted stock unit in the form
of cash or Company shares or both), which issuance shall be subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 1.5(c), no adjustment to any restricted stock unit shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether
ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the
record date is prior to the date such stock certificate, if any, is issued.

(e)               
Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the applicable
Award Agreement evidencing a restricted stock unit, no restricted stock unit granted under the Plan may be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Administrator
may, in any applicable Award Agreement evidencing a restricted stock unit, permit a grantee to transfer all or some of the restricted
stock units to (i) the grantee’s Immediate Family Members, (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate
Family Members or (iii) other parties approved by the Administrator. Following any such transfer, any transferred restricted stock
units shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer.

    	15

    	 

    

2.8.        
Grant of Unrestricted Stock

The Administrator may grant (or
sell at a purchase price at least equal to par value) shares of Common Stock free of restrictions under the Plan to such Key
Persons and in such amounts and subject to such forfeiture provisions as the Administrator shall determine. Shares may be
thus granted or sold in respect of past services or other valid consideration. 

	2.9.	Other Stock-Based Awards

Subject to the provisions of the
Plan (including, without limitation, Section 3.16), the Administrator shall have the sole and complete authority to grant
to Key Persons other equity-based or equity-related Awards in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator
shall determine; provided that any such Awards must comply with applicable law and, to the extent deemed desirable by the
Administrator, Rule 16b-3.

	2.10.	Dividend Equivalents

Subject to the provisions of the
Plan (including, without limitation, Section 3.16), in the discretion of the Administrator, an Award, other than an option
or stock appreciation right, may provide the Award recipient with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, shares, other
securities, other Awards or other property, on a current or deferred basis, on such terms and conditions as may be determined by
the Administrator, including, without limitation, payment directly to the Award recipient, withholding of such amounts by the Company
subject to vesting of the Award, or reinvestment in additional shares, restricted shares or other Awards.

ARTICLE
III.

Miscellaneous

3.1.        
Amendment of the Plan; Modification of Awards

(a)               
Amendment of the Plan. The Board may from time to time suspend, discontinue, revise or amend the Plan in any
respect whatsoever, except that no such amendment shall materially impair any rights
or materially increase any obligations under any Award theretofore made under the Plan without
the consent of the grantee (or, upon the grantee’s death, the Person having the rights to the Award). For purposes of this
Section 3.1, any action of the Board or the Administrator that in any way alters or affects the tax treatment of any Award
shall not be considered to materially impair any rights of any grantee.

    	16

    	 

    

(b)              
Stockholder Approval Requirement. If required by applicable rules or regulations of a national securities
exchange or the SEC, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval with respect to any amendment to the Plan that (i) expands
the types of Awards available under the Plan, (ii) materially increases the aggregate number of shares which may be issued
under the Plan, except as permitted pursuant to Section 1.5(c), (iii) materially increases the benefits to participants
under the Plan, including any material change to (A) permit, or that has the effect of, a Repricing of any outstanding Award,
(B) reduce the price at which shares or options to purchase shares may be offered or (C) extend the duration of the Plan,
or (iv) materially expands the class of Persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

(c)               
Modification of Awards. The Administrator may cancel any Award under the Plan. The Administrator also may amend any
outstanding Award Agreement, including, without limitation, by amendment which would: (i) accelerate the time or times at
which the Award becomes unrestricted, vested or may be exercised; (ii) waive or amend any goals, restrictions or conditions
set forth in the Award Agreement; or (iii) waive or amend the operation of Sections 2.4, 2.6(e) or 2.7(c) with respect
to the termination of the Award upon termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made without shareholder approval if such approval is necessary
to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Award. However, any such cancellation or amendment (other than
an amendment pursuant to Section 1.5, 3.5 or 3.16) that materially impairs the rights or materially increases the obligations
of a grantee under an outstanding Award shall be made only with the consent of the grantee (or, upon the grantee’s death,
the Person having the right to exercise the Award). In making any modification to an Award (e.g., an amendment resulting
in a direct or indirect reduction in the Exercise Price or a waiver or modification under Section 2.4(f), 2.6(e) or 2.7(c)),
the Administrator may consider the implications, if any, of such modification under the Code with respect to Sections 409A
and 457A of the Code with respect to Awards granted under the Plan to individuals subject to such provisions of the Code.

3.2.        
Consent Requirement

(a)               
No Plan Action Without Required Consent. If the Administrator shall at any time determine that any Consent (as defined
below) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of
any Award under the Plan, the issuance or purchase of shares or other rights thereunder, or
the taking of any other action thereunder (each such action being hereinafter referred to as a “Plan Action”),
then such Plan Action shall not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such Consent shall have been effected or obtained
to the full satisfaction of the Administrator.

(b)              
Consent Defined. The term “Consent” as used herein with respect to any Plan Action means (i) any
and all listings, registrations or qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities exchange or under any federal, state or
local law, rule or regulation, (ii) any and all written agreements and representations
by the grantee with respect to the disposition of shares, or with respect to any other matter, which the Administrator shall
deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an exemption
from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or registration be made and (iii) any and all consents, clearances
and approvals in respect of a Plan Action by any governmental or other regulatory bodies.

3.3.        
Nonassignability

Except as
provided in Sections 2.4(e), 2.5, 2.6(d) or 2.7(e), (a) no Award or right granted to any Person under the
Plan or under any Award Agreement shall be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and (b) all rights granted under the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be exercisable
during the life of the grantee only by the grantee or the grantee’s legal representative or the grantee’s permissible
successors or assigns (as authorized and determined by the Administrator). All terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable
Award Agreements will be binding upon any permitted successors or assigns.

3.4.        
Taxes

(a)               
Withholding. A grantee or other Award holder under the Plan shall be required to pay, in cash, to the Company, and
the Company and its Affiliates shall have the right and are hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due
or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to such grantee or other Award
holder, the amount of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its grant, its exercise, its vesting, or any payment
or transfer under an Award or under the Plan, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company
to satisfy all obligations for payment of such taxes. Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to or vest
in accordance with the terms of an Award under the Plan, with the approval of the Administrator, which the Administrator shall
have sole discretion whether or not to give, the grantee may satisfy the foregoing condition by electing to have the Company withhold
from delivery, or to forfeit or tender to the Company, shares having a value equal to the amount of minimum tax required
to be withheld. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld
is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such a withholding or forfeiture/tendering election may
be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered pursuant to, or vesting in accordance with, an
Award as may be approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

(b)              
Liability for Taxes. Grantees and holders of Awards are solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all
taxes and penalties that may arise in connection with Awards (including, without limitation, any taxes arising under Sections 409A
and 457A of the Code) and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold any such Person harmless from
any or all of such taxes. The Administrator shall have the discretion to organize any deferral program, to require deferral election
forms, and to grant or, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award Agreement, to unilaterally modify any
Award in a manner that (i) conforms with the requirements of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable),
(ii) voids any participant election to the extent it would violate Sections 409A or 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable)
and (iii) for any distribution event or election that could be expected to violate Section 409A of the Code, make the
distribution only upon the earliest of the first to occur of a "permissible distribution event" within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code or a distribution event that the participant elects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.
The Administrator shall have the sole discretion to interpret the requirements of the Code, including, without limitation, Sections 409A
and 457A, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards.

3.5.        
Change in Control

(a)               
Change in Control Defined. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, for purposes of the Plan,
“Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

                                                                 (i)            any
“person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act), company or other entity
acquires “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly,
of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company;
provided, however, that no Change in Control shall have occurred in the event of such an acquisition by (A) the
Company, (B) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate, or
(C) any company or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the holders of the voting stock ordinarily entitled to
elect directors of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the aggregate voting power of
the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition;

                                                              
(ii)           
the sale of all or substantially all the Company’s assets in one or more related transactions to any “person”
(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act), company or other entity; provided, however, that no Change
in Control shall have occurred in the event of such a sale (A) to a Subsidiary which does not involve a material change in
the equity holdings of the Company, or (B) to an entity (the “Acquiring Entity”) which has acquired all or substantially
all the Company’s assets if, immediately following such sale, 50% or more of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock
ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Acquiring Entity (or, if applicable, the ultimate parent entity that directly or
indirectly has beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to
elect directors of the Acquiring Entity) is beneficially owned by the holders of the voting stock ordinarily entitled to elect
directors of the Company immediately prior to such sale in substantially the same proportions as the aggregate voting power of
the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company immediately prior to such sale;

                                                            
(iii)           
any merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar event of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however,
that no Change in Control shall have occurred in the event 50% or more of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily
entitled to elect directors of the surviving entity (or, if applicable, the ultimate parent entity that directly or indirectly
has beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors
of the surviving entity) is beneficially owned by the holders of the voting stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the
Company immediately prior to such event in substantially the same proportions as the aggregate voting power of the capital stock
ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company immediately prior to such event;

    	19

    	 

    

                                                            
(iv)           
the approval by the Company’s stockholders of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

                                                              
(v)           
during any period of 12 consecutive calendar months, individuals:

		(A)	who were directors of the Company on the first day of such period, or

		(B)	whose election or nomination for election to the Board was recommended or approved by at least a majority of the directors
then still in office who were directors of the Company on the first day of such period, or whose election or nomination for election
were so approved,

shall cease to constitute a majority
of the Board.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, for each Award subject to Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control
shall be deemed to have occurred under this Plan with respect to such Award only if a change in the ownership or effective control
of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall also be deemed to have
occurred under Section 409A of the Code, provided that such limitation shall apply to such Award only to the extent
necessary to avoid adverse tax effects under Section 409A of the Code.

(b)              
Effect of a Change in Control. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control:

                                                               
(i)           
notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Award then outstanding shall become
fully vested and any forfeiture provisions thereon imposed pursuant to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement shall lapse
and any Award in the form of an option or stock appreciation right shall be immediately exercisable;

                                                              
(ii)             
to the extent permitted by law and not otherwise limited by the terms of the Plan, the Administrator may amend any Award
Agreement in such manner as it deems appropriate;

                                                 
(iii)             
a grantee who incurs a termination of employment or
consultancy/service relationship for any reason, other than a termination or
dismissal “for Cause”, concurrent with or within one year following the
Change in Control may exercise any outstanding option or stock appreciation right, but only
to the extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise the Award on the date of his or her termination of employment or
consultancy/service relationship, until the earlier of (A) the original expiration
date of the Award and (B) the later of (x) the date provided for under the terms of Section 2.4 without reference
to this Section 3.5(b)(iii) and (y) the first anniversary of the grantee’s termination
of employment or consultancy/service relationship.

(c)               
Miscellaneous. Whenever deemed appropriate by the Administrator, any action
referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 3.5 may be made conditional upon the consummation of the applicable
Change in Control transaction. For purposes of the Plan and any Award Agreement granted hereunder, the term “Company”
shall include any successor to Scorpio Tankers Inc.

3.6.        
Operation and Conduct of Business

Nothing in
the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be construed as limiting or preventing the Company or any Affiliate from taking any action with respect to
the operation and conduct of their business that they deem appropriate or in their best interests, including any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges or other changes in the capital structure of the Company or any Affiliate, any merger or consolidation
of the Company or any Affiliate, any issuance of Company shares or other securities or subscription rights, any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred
or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or other securities or rights thereof, any dissolution or liquidation
of the Company or any Affiliate, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

No Rights to Awards

No Key Person
or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan.

3.8.        
Right of Discharge Reserved

Nothing in
the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any grantee the right to continue his
or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate, his or her consultancy/service relationship with the Company or any Affiliate, or his or her position as a director
of the Company or any Affiliate, or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate such employment or consultancy/service relationship
or service as a director.

3.9.        
Non-Uniform Determinations

The Administrator’s
determinations and the treatment of Key Persons and grantees and their beneficiaries under the Plan need not be uniform and may
be made and determined by the Administrator selectively among Persons who receive, or who 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 shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations,
and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to (a) the Persons to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) the
types of Awards granted under the Plan, (c) the number of shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights
or other matters are to be calculated with respect to, Awards and (d) the terms and conditions of Awards.

3.10.    
Other Payments or Awards

Nothing contained
in the Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Company from making any award or payment to any Person under any
other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.

convenience only and are not intended to expand, limit or otherwise define the contents of such subdivisions.

3.12.    
Effective Date and Term of Plan

(a)                Adoption;
Stockholder Approval. The Plan was adopted by the Board on April 15, 2013 and amended and restated in March 2014. The Board
may, but need not, make the granting of any Awards under the Plan subject to the approval of the Company’s
stockholders.

(b)              
Termination of Plan. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time. All Awards made under the Plan prior to its
termination shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements. No Awards may be granted under the Plan following the tenth anniversary
of the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.

3.13.    
Restriction on Issuance of Stock Pursuant to Awards

The Company
shall not permit any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the
Plan unless such shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Plan or any Award Agreement, at the time of the exercise of any Award, at the time of vesting of any Award,
at the time of payment of shares of Common Stock in exchange for, or in cancellation of, any Award, or at the time of grant of
any unrestricted shares under the Plan, the Company and the Administrator may, if either shall deem it necessary or advisable for
any reason, require the holder of an Award (a) to represent in writing to the Company that it is the Award holder’s
then-intention to acquire the shares with respect to which the Award is granted for investment and not with a view to the distribution
thereof or (b) to postpone the date of exercise until such time as the Company has available for delivery to the Award holder
a prospectus meeting the requirements of all applicable securities laws; and no shares shall be issued or transferred
in connection with any Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares have
been complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and the Administrator. The Company and the Administrator shall have the right
to condition any issuance of shares to any Award holder hereunder on such Person’s undertaking in writing to comply with
such restrictions on the subsequent transfer of such shares as the Company or the Administrator shall deem necessary or advisable
as a result of any applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof, and all share certificates delivered under the
Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company or the Administrator may deem advisable
under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange
upon which such shares are listed, and any applicable securities or other laws, and certificates representing such shares may contain
a legend to reflect any such restrictions. The Administrator may refuse to issue or transfer any shares or other consideration
under an Award if it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or other consideration might violate any applicable
law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, and any payment tendered
to the Company by a grantee or other Award holder in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the
relevant grantee or other Award holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted under the Plan shall
be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Administrator
has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of any applicable securities
laws.

3.14.    
Requirement of Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code

If an Award recipient, in connection
with the acquisition of Company shares under the Plan, makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (to include in gross
income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code), the grantee shall notify the Administrator
of such election within ten days of filing notice of the election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any
filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code.

3.15.    
Severability

If any provision
of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person
or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Administrator, such provision shall
be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the
determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as
to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

3.16.    
Sections 409A and 457A

To the extent
applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and Department
of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any applicable
Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A
or 457A of the Code, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other
policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that
the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and Award from Sections 409A and 457A
of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply
with the requirements of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid
the application of penalty taxes under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code.

3.17.    
Forfeiture; Clawback

The Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement that any realized gain with respect to options or stock appreciation rights
and any realized value with respect to other Awards shall be subject to forfeiture or clawback, in the event of (a) a grantee’s
breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants with respect to the Company or any Affiliate, (b) a
grantee’s breach of any employment or consulting agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, (c) a grantee’s termination for Cause
or (d) a financial restatement that reduces the amount of bonus or incentive compensation (including any compensation under
the Plan) previously awarded to a grantee that would have been earned had results been properly reported.

3.18.    
No Trust or Fund Created

Neither the Plan nor any Award
shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and
an Award recipient or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant
to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or its Affiliate.

3.19.    
No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares shall be issued
or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other
property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto
shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

3.20.    
Governing Law

The Plan
will be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.
