   5  4878-3718-5545v.3    4.1 Payment of the vested RSUs shall be made as soon as practicable after the RSUs  have vested, but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year after the calendar year in  which the RSUs vest.   4.2 The vested RSUs shall be paid in cash or whole shares of Common Stock or a  combination thereof, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company.  4.3 Consultant covenants and agrees that it will prepare all applicable income and  information tax returns and all other governmental reports of any kind and report and pay all  taxes resulting from the grant and vesting of the RSUs. Consultant shall be liable for and shall  indemnify Company with respect to all taxes, contributions and penalties imposed on the  Company by any governmental or other public authority having jurisdiction with respect to or  measured by the income or profit received by Consultant pursuant to this Award.    4.4 If Consultant dies prior to the payment of his vested RSUs, any vested RSUs shall  be paid to his Beneficiary.  Consultant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary on a form  filed with the Committee; if Consultant fails to designate a Beneficiary, or if at the time of  Consultant’s death there is no surviving Beneficiary, any vested RSUs will go to Consultant’s  estate.    ARTICLE V  Change in Control    5.1 In the event of a Change in Control prior to the forfeiture of the RSUs under  Section 3.3, the provisions of this Article V shall apply.  (a) Subject to subparagraphs (b) and (d) of this Section 5.1, if, upon a Change in  Control, Consultant receives a new award which qualifies as a Replacement Award (as defined  below), the Replacement Award shall replace this Award and continue subject to the  Replacement Award’s terms.  (i) A “Replacement Award” is an award that substitutes for this Award and  meets the following requirements:  (i) it has a value at least equal to the  value of this Award as determined under applicable law and by the  Committee in its sole discretion; (ii) it relates to publicly traded equity  securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or  another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor  following the Change in Control; and (iii) its other terms and conditions  are not less favorable to Consultant than the terms and conditions of this  Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a  subsequent Change in Control).  Without limiting the generality of the  foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of  this Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied.  The  determination of whether the conditions of a Replacement Award are  satisfied shall be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately  before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

   6  4878-3718-5545v.3  (b) If, following a Change in Control, the Company’s shares continue to be traded on  The Trading Market or another established securities market, this Award shall continue in effect  and be treated as a Replacement Award.  (c) If, upon a Change in Control that results in the Company’s shares no longer being  traded on The Trading Market or another established securities market and no Replacement  Award is granted to Consultant, the unvested portion of this Award shall become vested  immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control.  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the Committee may  determine that this Award shall be canceled and terminated for consideration instead.  (e) If, in connection with a Change of Control, Consultant’s payment of this Award  will cause Consultant to be liable for federal excise tax under Code Section 4999 levied on  certain “excess parachute payments” as defined in Code Section 280G (“Excise Tax”), then the  payments made pursuant to the Awards shall be reduced (or repaid to the Company, if previously  paid or provided) as provided below:  (i) If the payments due upon a Change of Control under this Award and any  other agreement between Consultant and the Company, exceed 2.99 times  Consultant’s “base amount,” as defined in Code Section 280G, a reduced  payment amount shall be calculated by reducing the payments to the  minimum extent necessary so that no portion of any payment, as so  reduced or repaid, constitutes an excess parachute payment.  If it is  determined that any Excise Tax is payable by Consultant, Consultant shall  receive either (i) all payments otherwise due; or (ii) the reduced payment  amount described in the preceding sentence, whichever will provide  Consultant with the greater after-tax economic benefit taking into account  for these purposes any applicable excise tax.    (ii) Whether payments are to be reduced pursuant to this subparagraph (e), and  the extent to which they are to be so reduced, will be determined solely by  the Company in good faith and the Company will notify Consultant in  writing of its determination.    (iii) In no event shall Consultant be entitled to receive any kind of gross-up  payment or excise tax reimbursement from the Company.    ARTICLE VI  Miscellaneous    6.1 The terms of this RSU shall be adjusted as the Committee determines is equitable  in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or  consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

   7  4878-3718-5545v.3  6.2 Whenever the term “Consultant” is used in any provision of this Award under  circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the Etienne Snyman,  or Etienne Snyman’s executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the RSUs  may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the term “Consultant” shall  be deemed to include such person or persons.    6.3 The RSUs granted hereunder are not transferable by Consultant otherwise than by  will or the laws of descent and distribution.  No assignment or transfer of the RSUs granted  hereunder, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by the  operation of law or otherwise (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), shall vest  in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon any  such assignment or transfer the RSUs shall terminate and become of no further effect.    6.4 Consultant shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a shareholder of the  Company in respect of any shares as to which the RSUs shall not have been vested and paid in  Common Stock.    6.5 Nothing in this Award or otherwise shall obligate the Company to vest any of the  RSUs, to permit the RSUs to be earned and vested other than in accordance with the terms hereof  or to grant any waivers of the terms of this Award, regardless of what actions the Company, the  Board or the Committee may take or waivers the Company, the Board or the Committee may  grant under the terms of or with respect to any RSU now or hereafter granted to any other person  or any other RSU granted to Consultant.     6.6 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Consultant shall not earn or vest in  the RSUs granted hereunder, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares to  Consultant hereunder, if the earning or vesting thereof or the issuance of such shares would  constitute a violation by Consultant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of  any governmental authority.  Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final  and binding.  The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to  the Securities Act of 1933 (as the same shall be in effect from time to time) or to take any other  affirmative action in order to cause the issuance of shares pursuant this RSU to comply with any  law or regulation of any governmental authority.    6.7 If the events described in Article III or V occur after the date that Consultant is  advised (upon recommendation by the Committee) that his Agreement with the Company is  being, or will be, terminated pursuant to Section 8 of the Agreement, accelerated vesting shall  not occur and all rights under this Award shall terminate, and this Award shall expire on the date  of termination of Consultant’s Agreement.      6.8 This Award shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas applicable to  agreements made and performed wholly within the State of Texas (regardless of the laws that  might otherwise govern under applicable conflicts of laws principles) and applicable federal law.   All disputes arising under this Award shall be adjudicated solely within the State or Federal  courts located within the State of Texas, Dallas County, and in accordance with the resolution  provisions under the Agreement.

Any modification, amendment or waiver to this Award will be effective only if it is in  writing signed by the Company and Consultant.

AMERICAN METALS RECOVERY AND RECYCLING INC.

2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

		1.	PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
is to encourage key employees, directors, and consultants of American Metals Recovery and Recycling Inc. (the “Company”) and
its Subsidiaries (as defined below) to continue their association with the Company by providing favorable opportunities for them to participate
in the ownership of the Company and its Subsidiaries and in its future growth through the granting of equity ownership opportunities and
incentives based on the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below) that are intended to align their interests with those of the Company’s
stockholders (“Awards”). Each person who is granted an Award under the Plan is deemed a “Participant.”

 

The term “Subsidiary” as used in the Plan means a
corporation, company, partnership or other form of business organization of which the Company owns, directly or indirectly through an
unbroken chain of ownership, fifty percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or other form of equity
ownership or has a significant financial interest, as determined by the Committee (as defined below).

 

		2.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”) or, in the discretion of the Board, a committee or subcommittee of the Board (the “Committee”),
appointed by the Board and composed of at least two members of the Board. In the event that a vacancy on the Committee occurs on account
of the resignation of a member or the removal of a member by vote of the Board, a successor member shall be appointed by vote of the Board.
All references in the Plan to the “Committee” shall be understood to refer to the Committee or the Board, whoever shall administer
the Plan.

 

For so long as Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended and in effect from time to time (the “Exchange Act”), is applicable to the Company, each member of the Committee
shall be a “non-employee director” or the equivalent within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

The Committee shall select one of its members as Chairman and
shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and acts of the
Committee at which a quorum is present, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by all the members of the Committee, shall be the valid
acts of the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, amend, and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion,
may be advisable in the administration of the Plan. All questions of interpretation and application of such rules and regulations of the
Plan and of Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to the determination of the Committee, which shall be final and binding.

 

The Committee shall select Participants and determine the terms
and conditions of all Awards. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Committee need not treat Participants uniformly.

 

    	 	- 1 -	 

    	 

    

 

With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act (“Insiders”), transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor
under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed to be
modified so as to be in compliance with such Rule or, if such modification is not possible, it shall be deemed to be null and void, to
the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

 

The Plan shall be administered in such a manner as to permit
those options to acquire Common Stock (“Options”) granted hereunder and specially designated under Section 5 as incentive
stock options as described in Section 422 (“ISOs”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
to qualify as such but the Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Option (or any part thereof) that
is intended to be an ISO is not an ISO or if the Company converts an ISO to a nonstatutory (or nonqualified) stock option (an “NSO”).

 

		3.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

The total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock,
$0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), that may be subject to an Award under the Plan shall be 2,000,000, from either
authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. Shares of Common Stock underlying Awards that fail to settle, vest or be fully exercised
prior to expiration or other termination shall again become available for grant under the terms of the Plan.

 

Each reference to a number of shares of Common Stock in this
Section 3 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.

 

		4.	ELIGIBILITY

 

The persons who shall be eligible for Awards under the Plan shall
be key employees, directors, and other persons who render services of special importance to the management, operation or development of
the Company or a Subsidiary, and who have contributed or may be expected to contribute materially to the success of the Company or a Subsidiary.
ISOs shall not be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary described in Section 424(e) or Section 424(f)
of the Code (an “ISO Subsidiary”).

 

		5.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

 

(a)       In
General. The Committee may grant Awards in the form of Options. Every Option shall be evidenced by an Option agreement in such form
as the Committee shall approve from time to time, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the
Option, the time or times at which the Option shall become exercisable in whole or in part, whether the Option is intended to be an ISO
or an NSO, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall approve, and containing or incorporating by reference the terms
and conditions set forth in this Section 5.

 

    	 	- 2 -	 

    	 

    

 

(b)       Duration.
The duration of each Option shall be as specified by the Committee in its discretion; provided, however, that no ISO shall
expire later than ten years from its date of grant, and no ISO granted to an employee who owns (directly or under the attribution rules
of Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any ISO Subsidiary shall expire later than five years from its date of grant.

 

(c)       Exercise
Price. The exercise price of each Option shall be any lawful consideration, as specified by the Committee in its discretion; provided,
however, that the exercise price with respect to an ISO shall be at least 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
on the date on which the Committee awards the Option, which shall be considered the date of grant of the Option for purposes of fixing
the price; and provided, further, that the exercise price with respect to an ISO granted to an employee who at the time
of grant owns (directly or under the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) stock representing more than ten percent the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any ISO Subsidiary shall be at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant of the ISO.

 

For purposes of the Plan and except as may be otherwise
explicitly provided in the Plan or in any Award agreement, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at any particular date shall
be determined according to the following rules.

 

(i)         If Common
Stock is at the time listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or Nasdaq, then Fair Market Value shall mean the
Closing Price for the Common Stock on such date. The “Closing Price” on any date shall mean the last sale price for the Common
Stock, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on that day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, for
the Common Stock, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed
or admitted to trading on the national securities exchange or Nasdaq.

 

(ii)        If the
Common Stock is not at the time listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or Nasdaq, the Fair Market Value shall
be determined in good faith by the Board, which may take into consideration (1) the price paid for the Common Stock in the most recent
trade of a substantial number of shares known to the Board to have occurred at arm’s length between willing and knowledgeable investors,
(2) an appraisal by an independent party or (3) any other method of valuation undertaken in good faith by the Board, or some or all of
the above as the Board shall in its discretion elect.

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding
Section 5(c)(ii) of the Plan, if the Common Stock is at the time listed or admitted to trading on any exchange or quotation system other
than any national securities exchange or Nasdaq, then Fair Market Value for purposes of the establishing the exercise price of an Option
or the measurement price of a stock appreciation right (or “SAR”) shall be the average selling price during the ten-trading
day period ending with the trading day immediately preceding the relevant date (the average selling price being determined as the arithmetic
mean of such selling prices on all such trading days during the period); provided, however, that the recipient and the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to the Option or SAR, as applicable, must be irrevocably determined prior to such ten-trading day period.

 

    	 	- 3 -	 

    	 

    

 

(d)       Method
of Exercise. Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form, which may be electronic, approved
by the Committee, together with payment in full in the manner specified in Section 5(e) of the exercise price for the number of shares
for which the Option is exercised. Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will be delivered by the Company as soon as practicable
following exercise and payment of the exercise price. If the Participant fails to pay for or to accept delivery of all or any part of
the number of shares specified in the notice upon tender of delivery thereof, the right to exercise the Option with respect to those shares
shall be terminated, unless the Committee otherwise agrees.

 

(e)       Payment
Upon Exercise. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows:

 

(i)         In cash
or by check, payable to the order of the Company;

 

(ii)        By payment
in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company, of the par value of the Common Stock to be acquired and by payment of the balance
of the exercise price in whole or in part by delivery of the Participant’s recourse promissory note, in a form specified by the
Committee and to the extent consistent with applicable law, secured by the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option and such
other security as the Committee may require;

 

(iii)       Except
as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Committee, in its sole discretion, by (1) delivery
of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the
exercise price and any required tax withholding or (2) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional
instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any
required tax withholding;

 

(iv)      By delivery
(either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value, provided
(1) the method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (2) the Common Stock, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned
by the Participant for a minimum period of time, if any, as may be established by the Committee in its sole discretion, and (3) the Common
Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements;

 

(v)       In the case
of an NSO, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, as a result of which the Participant would receive (1)
the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option being exercised less (2) such number of shares as is equal to (A) the aggregate
exercise price for the portion of the Option being exercised divided by (B) the value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise and,
at the election of the Participant, less (3) such number of shares as is equal in value to the withholding obligation (if any) provided
in Section 13(e);

 

    	 	- 4 -	 

    	 

    

 

(vi)      To the
extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Committee in its sole discretion,
by payment of such other lawful consideration as the Committee may determine; or

 

(vii)     By any
combination of the above permitted forms of payment.

 

(f)        Vesting.
An Option may be exercised so long as it is vested and outstanding from time to time, in whole or in part, in the manner and subject to
the conditions that the Committee in its discretion may provide in the Option agreement.

 

(g)       Companion
SAR. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless
the related SARs are forfeited.

 

(h)       Notice
of ISO Stock Disposition. The Participant must notify the Company promptly in the event that he sells, transfers, exchanges or otherwise
disposes of any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an ISO before the later of (i) the second anniversary of the date of grant
of the ISO and (ii) the first anniversary of the date the shares were issued upon his exercise of the ISO.

 

(i)        Effect
of Cessation of Employment or Service Relationship. The Committee shall determine in its discretion and specify in each Option agreement
the effect, if any, of the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship upon the exercisability of
the Option.

 

(j)        Transferability
of Options. An Option shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
During the life of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by him, by a conservator or guardian duly appointed for him by
reason of his incapacity or by the person appointed by the Participant in a durable power of attorney acceptable to the Company’s
counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences of this Section 5(j), the Committee may in its discretion permit the Participant of an
NSO to transfer the NSO to a member of the Immediate Family (as defined below) of the Participant, to a trust solely for the benefit of
the Participant and the Participant’s Immediate Family or to a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or members
are the Participant and members of the Participant’s Immediate Family. “Immediate Family” shall mean, with respect to
any Participant, the Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, and shall include adoptive relationships.

 

(k)       No
Rights as Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until becoming
the record holder of the shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is earlier than the
date the certificate is issued, other than as required or permitted pursuant to Section 11.

 

    	 	- 5 -	 

    	 

    

 

		6.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

(a)       In
General. The Committee may grant Awards in the form of SARs, separately or in combination with Options. Every SAR shall be evidenced
by an SAR agreement in such form as the Committee shall approve from time to time, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the SAR relates, the time or times at which the SAR shall become exercisable in whole or in part, and such other terms and conditions
as the Committee shall approve, and containing or incorporating by reference the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.

 

Upon exercise of an SAR, the Participant shall be entitled
to receive from the Company an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value, on the exercise date, of the number of shares of Common
Stock as to which the SAR is exercised over the exercise price for those shares under a related Option, or if there is no related Option,
over the measurement price stated in the SAR agreement. The amount payable by the Company upon exercise of an SAR shall be paid in the
form of cash or other property (including Common Stock of the Company), as provided in the SAR agreement.

 

(b)       Duration.
The duration of an SAR shall be as specified by the Committee in its discretion; provided, however, that no SAR will be
granted with a term in excess of ten years.

 

(c)       Measurement
Price. The measurement price of each SAR shall be any lawful consideration, as specified by the Committee in its discretion.

 

(d)       Method
of Exercise. SARs may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form, which may be electronic, approved
by the Committee, together with payment in full in the manner specified in Section 5(e) of the measurement price for the number of shares
for which the SAR is exercised. Settlement of the SAR shall be made as soon as practicable following exercise and payment of the measurement
price. If the Participant fails to pay for or to accept delivery of all or any part of the number of shares specified in the notice upon
tender of delivery thereof, the right to exercise the SAR with respect to those shares shall be terminated, unless the Committee otherwise
agrees.

 

(e)       Companion
Option. An SAR granted in connection with an Option may be exercised only to the extent of the surrender of the related Option, and
to the extent of the exercise of the related Option the SAR shall terminate. Shares of Common Stock covered by an Option that terminates
upon the exercise of a related SAR shall cease to be available under the Plan.

		7.	STOCK AWARDS

 

(a)       Types
of Stock Awards.

 

(i)         Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may grant Awards in the form of shares of Common Stock, with or without restrictions
(with restrictions, “Restricted Stock”), and/or Restricted Stock Units (together, and including Performance Shares and Performance
Share Units, each as defined below, “Stock Awards”). Restricted Stock Units are a right to receive shares of Common Stock
(or their then Fair Market Value) at a specified future time. Restrictions on Restricted Stock may include the right of the Company to
repurchase all or part of the shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of the shares if
issued at no cost) from the Participant in the event that conditions specified by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement are
not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Committee for the Stock Award.

 

(ii)        Performance
Stock and Performance Share Units. The Committee may grant or award shares of Common Stock in the form of Performance Shares and/or
Performance Share Units. A Performance Share is an award of shares of Restricted Stock, the vesting of which is based on the satisfaction
of applicable Performance Goals (as defined below). A Performance Share Unit is a right to receive shares of Common Stock (or their then
Fair Market Value) at a specified future time and based on the satisfaction of applicable Performance Goals.

 

(iii)       Form
of Payment. Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units shall be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash
and shares of Common Stock as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine at the grant date and as shall be set forth in the
applicable Award agreement.

 

(b)       Procedures
Relating to Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock agreement, Restricted Stock Unit agreement, Performance Share agreement or Performance
Share Unit agreement shall evidence the applicable Award and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall provide.

 

A holder of a Stock Award without restrictions, Restricted
Stock or Performance Shares shall, subject to the terms of any applicable agreement, have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including the right to vote the shares and (except as provided below) the right to receive any dividends. Certificates representing Restricted
Stock or Performance Shares shall be imprinted with a legend to the effect that the shares represented may not be sold, exchanged, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. (If shares of Restricted
Stock or Performance Shares are held in book entry form, statements evidencing those shares shall include a similar legend.) The Participant
shall be required to deposit any stock certificates with an escrow agent designated by the Committee, together with a stock power or other
instrument of transfer appropriately endorsed in blank. With respect to such shares, the Committee shall provide that dividends will not
be paid with respect to unvested Restricted Stock or Performance Shares until the time (if at all) the Restricted Stock or Performance
Shares vest, and the Company will retain such dividends and pay them to the Participant upon vesting.

 

    	 	- 7 -	 

    	 

    

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Restricted
Stock and Performance Shares shall become freely transferable by the Participant after all conditions and restrictions applicable to the
shares have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding obligations).

 

(c)       Additional
Matters Relating to Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units.

 

(i)         Delivery.
Provided the Participant’s employment or service relationship has not terminated as of the end of the applicable Performance Period
(as defined below) or at a later date determined by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the applicable agreement, a delivery
of shares of Common Stock or payment of cash as settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share Unit Award shall occur as soon
as administratively practicable following the written determination of the Committee of the satisfaction of the applicable Performance
Goals, but in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the year in which the Performance Period
ends or, if later, the close of the year specified by the Committee in the applicable agreement. The Committee may, in its sole discretion
and at the time of grant, provide for the further deferral of payment in an applicable agreement.

 

In the case of an Award of Restricted Stock Units not
subject to Performance Goals, a delivery of shares of Common Stock or payment of cash as settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit shall
occur as of the date specified in the applicable agreement, but in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third month following
the close of the year in which vesting under the applicable agreement occurs.

 

(ii)        Dividend
Equivalents for Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units. With respect to each Restricted Stock Unit and Performance Share
Unit, the Committee may grant a Dividend Equivalent Unit to any Participant upon such terms and conditions as it may establish. Each Dividend
Equivalent Unit will entitle the Participant, at the time of the settlement of the Award, to an additional payment equal to the dividends
the Participant would have received if the Participant had been the actual record owner of the underlying Common Stock on each dividend
record date prior to settlement. The Dividend Equivalent Unit may be settled in cash, additional shares of Common Stock or a combination
thereof.

 

(d)       Restrictions
Relating to Stock Awards.

 

(i)         In General.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, impose such conditions and/or restrictions on any Stock Award pursuant to this Section 7 as
it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that a Participant pay a stipulated purchase price for each share of
Common Stock awarded or underlying a Stock Award, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific Performance Goals, time-based restrictions
on vesting, either in lieu of or following the attainment of any Performance Goals, or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed
on the Common Stock upon vesting of any Stock Award.

 

    	 	- 8 -	 

    	 

    

 

(ii)        Satisfaction
of Performance Goals. After the applicable period (the “Performance Period”) during which the Performance Goals must be
met in order to determine the payout and/or vesting of Performance Shares or Performance Share Units has ended, restrictions on Performance
Shares will lapse and delivery or payment with respect to Performance Share Units shall be made, in each case based on the partial or
full satisfaction of the Performance Goals and any other applicable requirements of the Award. The Committee may, at the time the Performance
Shares or Performance Share Units are granted, provide that additional Performance Shares or Performance Share Units may be awarded in
the event the applicable Performance Goals are exceeded. The minimum duration of a Performance Period shall be one year, but may be longer,
as determined by the Committee at the time the Stock Award is granted.

 

(iii)       Committee
Determination. The extent to which Performance Goals are met will be determined solely by the Committee, which determination will
establish the amount of Performance Shares and/or Performance Share Units that will be paid out to the Participant and the extent to which
any restrictions will lapse.

 

(e)       Definition
of Performance Goals. Before twenty-five percent of the Performance Period has elapsed (or within ninety days of a grant date, if
earlier), the Committee shall establish the criteria for Performance Goals. Such criteria may be based on any one or more business criteria
measured in the aggregate or on a per share basis, as specified by the Committee.

 

The Committee shall make any adjustments necessary
to eliminate the effect on the stated Performance Goals of unplanned acquisitions or dispositions, changes in foreign exchange rates,
discrete tax items identified by the Committee, changes in accounting standards, variances to planned annual incentive compensation expense
and expenses associated with unusual or extraordinary items that could not be reasonably anticipated; provided, however, that such
items or changes are material to the performance measure.

 

If the Performance Goals are not fully achieved, the
Committee may provide in the applicable agreement that less than 100 percent of an Award may be payable but in no event shall the amount
of any such Award be increased after it has been established and after twenty-five percent of the Performance Period has elapsed (or more
than ninety days from the grant date, if earlier).

 

(f)        Effect
of Cessation of Employment or Service Relationship. Each agreement underlying a Stock Award shall set forth the extent to which the
Participant shall have the right to retain the Award following termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship
with the Company. Whether any such right shall apply to a particular Award shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

 

    	 	- 9 -	 

    	 

    

 

		8.	OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

 

(a)       In
General. The Committee may grant Awards of other types of equity-based or equity-related awards not otherwise described by the terms
of this Plan to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine (“Other Awards”). Other Awards
may involve the transfer of actual shares of Common Stock to Participants, a payment in cash or a combination of shares and cash.

 

(b)       Procedures
Relating to Other Awards. Each Other Award pursuant to this Section 8 shall provide for the payment of a specific amount or range
of shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that an Other Award pursuant
to this Section 8 shall be contingent on the satisfaction of Performance Goals, as provided for in Section 7(e). If the Committee exercises
its sole discretion to establish Performance Goals, the number and/or value of Other Awards issued pursuant to this Section 8 will be
paid out to the Participant based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are met, all in accordance with Section 7(e).

 

The Committee shall determine whether an agreement
is necessary to evidence an Other Award and any Other Award agreement shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall provide
in its sole discretion including, without limitation, a requirement that a Participant pay a stipulated purchase price for each share
of Common Stock awarded or underlying an Other Award, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific Performance Goals, time-based
restrictions on vesting, either in lieu of or following the attainment of any Performance Goals, or holding requirements or sale restrictions
placed on the Common Stock upon vesting of an Other Award.

 

(c)       Delivery
of Awards. Provided the Participant’s employment or service relationship has not terminated as of the end of the applicable
Performance Period, or at a later date as determined by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the applicable agreement,
a delivery of shares of Common Stock or payment of cash as settlement of an Award pursuant to this Section 8 shall occur upon the written
determination of the Committee of the satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals, but in no event later than the fifteenth day of
the third month following the close of the year in which the Performance Period ends or, if later, the close of the year specified by
the Committee in the applicable agreement. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and at the time of grant, provide for the further
deferral of payment in an applicable agreement.

 

(d)       Effect
of Cessation of Employment or Service Relationship. Each Agreement underlying an Other Award pursuant to this Section 8 shall set
forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain the Other Award following termination of the Participant’s
employment or other service relationship with the Company. Whether any such right shall apply to a particular Other Award shall be determined
in the sole discretion of the Committee.

 

    	 	- 10 -	 

    	 

    

 

		9.	AWARDS VOIDABLE

 

If a person to whom an Award under the Plan has been made fails
to execute and deliver to the Committee a related Award agreement within thirty days after it is submitted to him or her, the Award shall
be voidable by the Committee at its election, without further notice to the Participant.

 

		10.	REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

 

The Company shall not be required to transfer any Common Stock
or to sell or issue any shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award if the issuance of the shares will result in a violation by
the Participant or the Company of any provisions of any law, statute or regulation of any governmental authority. Specifically, in connection
with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), upon the transfer of Common Stock or the exercise of any
Option or SAR the Company shall not be required to issue shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect
that the Participant will not transfer the shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act or unless
an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company has been received by the Company to the effect that such registration is not required.
Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be conclusive. The Company shall not be obligated to take any other affirmative
action in order to cause the transfer of Common Stock or to sell or issue any shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award to comply
with any law or regulations of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, the Securities Act or applicable state securities
laws.

 

		11.	CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

 

(a)       Changes
in Capitalization. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares,
reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to holders of
Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, (i) the number and class of securities available under the Plan, (ii) the share counting
rules set forth in Section 3, (iii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share of each outstanding Option, (iv) the
share and per-share provisions and the measurement price of each outstanding SAR, (v) the number of shares subject to and the repurchase
price per share (if any) subject to each outstanding Stock Award, and (vi) the share and per-share-related provisions and the purchase
price, if any, of each outstanding Other Award, shall be equitably adjusted (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Company effects
a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend or effects another stock dividend for which an adjustment is made pursuant to
this Section 11, and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to an outstanding Option or SAR are adjusted as of the date
of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then a Participant who exercises an Option
or SAR between the record date and the distribution date for the stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date,
the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the Option or SAR exercise, notwithstanding the fact that
such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend. Any such adjustment pursuant
to this Section 11(a) made by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all affected persons, including the Company and all Participants.

 

    	 	- 11 -	 

    	 

    

 

If while Options, SARs or Stock Awards remain outstanding
under the Plan the Company merges or consolidates with a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of reincorporating itself under the laws
of another jurisdiction or for any other reason, the Participants will be entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock of the surviving
company upon the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation (unless such merger or
consolidation involves a change in the number of shares or the capitalization of the Company, in which case proportional adjustments shall
be made as provided above) and the Plan, unless otherwise rescinded by the Board, will remain the Plan of the surviving company.

 

(b)       Reorganization
Events.

 

(i)         Definition.
A “Reorganization Event” shall mean: (1) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity as a result
of which all of the Common Stock of the Company is converted into or exchanged for the right to receive cash, securities or other property
or is cancelled; (2) any transfer or disposition of all of the Common Stock of the Company for cash, securities or other property pursuant
to a share exchange or other transaction; (3) any sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (4)
any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

(ii)       Consequences
of a Reorganization Event on Awards Other than Restricted Stock or Performance Shares.

 

(1)       In connection
with a Reorganization Event, the Committee may take any one or more of the following actions as to all or any (or any portion of) outstanding
Awards other than Restricted Stock or Performance Shares on such terms as the Committee determines (except to the extent specifically
provided otherwise in an applicable Award agreement or another agreement between the Company and the Participant): (A) provide that the
Awards shall be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding entity or an affiliate
thereof; (B) upon notice to a Participant, provide that all of the Participant’s unvested and/or unexercised Awards will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event unless exercised by the Participant (to the extent then exercisable)
within a specified period following the date of such notice; (C) provide that outstanding Awards shall become exercisable, realizable
or deliverable, or restrictions applicable to an Award shall lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon the Reorganization Event; (D)
in the

 

    	 	- 12 -	 

    	 

    

 

event of a Reorganization Event under the terms of which holders of Common Stock will receive upon consummation thereof a cash
payment for each share surrendered in the Reorganization Event (the “Acquisition Price”), make or provide for a cash payment
to Participants with respect to each Award held by a Participant equal to (I) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested
portion of the Award (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs upon or immediately prior to such Reorganization
Event) multiplied by (II) the excess, if any, of (Y) the Acquisition Price over (Z) the exercise, measurement or purchase price of the
Award and any applicable tax withholdings, in exchange for the termination of such Award; (E) provide that, in connection with a liquidation
or dissolution of the Company, Awards shall convert into the right to receive liquidation proceeds (if applicable, net of the exercise,
measurement or purchase price thereof and any applicable tax withholdings); and (F) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of
the actions permitted under this Section 11(b)(ii), the Committee shall not be obligated by the Plan to treat all Awards, all Awards held
by a Participant or all Awards of the same type identically and any adjustment pursuant to this Section 11(b) made by the Committee shall
be conclusive and binding upon all affected persons, including the Company and all Participants.

 

(2)       Notwithstanding
the terms of Section 11(b)(ii)(1), in the case of outstanding Restricted Stock Units or Performance Share Units that are subject to Section
409A of the Code: (A) if the applicable agreement provides that the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Share Units shall be settled
upon a change in control event within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), and the Reorganization Event constitutes
such a change in control event, then no assumption or substitution shall be permitted pursuant to Section 11(b)(ii)(1)(A) and the Restricted
Stock Units or Performance Share Units shall instead be settled in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement; and (B) the
Committee may only undertake the actions set forth in clauses (C), (D) or (E) of Section 11(b)(ii)(1) if the action is permitted or required
by Section 409A of the Code and if the Reorganization Event is not a change in control event as so defined or such action is not permitted
or required by Section 409A of the Code, and the acquiring or succeeding entity or an affiliate thereof does not assume or substitute
the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Share Units pursuant to clause (A) of Section 11(b)(ii)(1), then the unvested Restricted Stock
Units or Performance Share Units shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event without any payment
in exchange therefor.

 

    	 	- 13 -	 

    	 

    

 

(3)       For purposes
of Section 11(b)(ii)(1)(A), an Award (other than Restricted Stock or Performance Shares) shall be considered assumed if, following consummation
of the Reorganization Event, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive pursuant to the terms of the Award, for each share of
Common Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event, the consideration (whether cash,
securities or other property) received as a result of the Reorganization Event by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock
held immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type
of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that
if the consideration received as a result of the Reorganization Event is not solely common stock of the acquiring or succeeding entity
or an affiliate thereof, the Company may, with the consent of the acquiring or succeeding entity or an affiliate thereof, provide for
the consideration to be received upon the exercise or settlement of the Award to consist solely of the number of shares of common stock
of the acquiring or succeeding entity or an affiliate thereof that the Committee determined to be equivalent in value (as of the date
of such determination or another date specified by the Committee) to the per share consideration received by holders of outstanding shares
of Common Stock as a result of the Reorganization Event.

 

(c)       Consequences
of a Reorganization Event on Restricted Stock or Performance Shares. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event other than a liquidation
or dissolution of the Company, the repurchase and other rights of the Company with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock or Performance
Shares shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and shall, unless the Committee determines otherwise, apply to the
cash, securities or other property that the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in
the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Restricted Stock or Performance Shares; provided, however,
that the Committee may provide for termination or deemed satisfaction of repurchase or other rights under the agreement evidencing any
Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or any other agreement between a Participant and the Company, either initially or by amendment. Upon
the occurrence of a Reorganization Event involving the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, except to the extent specifically provided
to the contrary in the instrument evidencing any Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or any other agreement between a Participant and
the Company, all restrictions and conditions on all Restricted Stock then outstanding shall automatically be deemed terminated or satisfied.

 

		12.	FORFEITURE FOR DISHONESTY

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if the
Board determines, either before or after the end of the employment or service relationship and after full consideration of the facts presented
on behalf of the Company, its Subsidiaries and a Participant, that the Participant has (a) been engaged in fraud, embezzlement, theft,
commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of his or her employment or other service relationship with the Company and
its Subsidiaries that damaged the Company and its Subsidiaries, (b) has disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of the
Company and its Subsidiaries or (c) has breached the terms of any employment or other agreements with the Company and its Subsidiaries:

 

    	 	- 14 -	 

    	 

    

 

(a)       The Participant
shall forfeit all unexercised Awards and all exercised Awards to the extent that stock certificates, cash or other property, as applicable,
have not yet been delivered; and

 

(b)       The Company
shall have the right to repurchase all or any part of the shares of Common Stock acquired by the Participant upon the earlier exercise
of any Award at a price equal to the amount paid to the Company upon exercise, increased by an amount equal to the interest that would
have accrued in the period between the date of exercise and the date of such repurchase upon a debt in the amount of the exercise price,
at the prime rate(s) announced from time to time during such period in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Selected Interest Rates
and decreased by any cash dividends received.

 

The decision of the Board as to the cause of a Participant’s
discharge and the damage done to the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive. No decision of the Board, however, shall affect in
any manner the finality of the discharge of a Participant by the Company.

 

		13.	MISCELLANEOUS

 

(a)       Transferability
of Awards. Except as otherwise provided herein, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by
the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution
and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant.

 

(b)       Documentation.
Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Committee shall determine. Each Award may contain
terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.

 

(c)       No
Guarantee of Employment or Continuation of Service Relationship. Neither the Plan nor any Award agreement shall give an employee or
other service provider the right to continue in the employment of or to continue to provide services to the Company or a Subsidiary, or
give the Company or a Subsidiary the right to require continued employment or services.

 

(d)       Rounding
Conventions. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and taking into account any requirements of the Code, including without limitations
Sections 422 through 424 and 409A of the Code, determine the effect of vesting, stock dividend, and any other adjustments on shares and
any cash amount payable hereunder, and may provide that no fractional shares will be issued (rounding up or down as determined by the
Committee) and that cash amounts be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

(e)       Tax
Withholding. To the extent required by law, the Company (or a Subsidiary) shall withhold or cause to be withheld income and other
taxes with respect to any income recognized by a Participant by reason of the exercise, vesting or settlement of an Award, and as a condition
to the receipt of any Award the Participant shall agree that if the amount payable to him or her by the Company and any Subsidiary in
the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then he or she shall upon the request of the Company pay to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may in
its discretion permit any Participant’s withholding obligation to be paid in whole or in part in the form of shares of Common Stock
by withholding from the shares to be issued or by accepting delivery from the Participant of shares already owned by him or her; provided,
however, that payment of withholding obligation in the form of shares shall not be made with respect to an amount in excess of
the minimum required withholding. If payment of withholding taxes is made in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock, the Participant
shall deliver to the Company certificates registered in his or her name representing shares of Common Stock legally and beneficially owned
by him or her, fully vested and free of all liens, claims, and encumbrances of every kind, duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers
duly endorsed by the record holder of the shares represented by such certificates.

 

If the Participant is subject to Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act, his or her ability to pay any withholding obligation in the form of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to any additional
restrictions as may be necessary to avoid any transaction that might give rise to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

(f)        Use
of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.

 

(g)       Awards
to Non-United States Persons. Awards may be made to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States on
such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as the Committee considers necessary or advisable to achieve the
purposes of the Plan or to comply with applicable laws. The Board shall have the right to amend the Plan, consistent with its authority
to amend the Plan as set forth in Section 14, to obtain favorable tax treatment for Participants or for any other reason the Board considers
necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with applicable laws, and any such amendments shall be evidenced
by an Addendum or Subplan to the Plan. The Board may delegate this authority to the Committee.

 

(h)       Governing
Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Common Stock under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws and regulations
and to such approvals by any governmental agency or national securities exchanges as may be required. To the extent not preempted by Federal
law, the Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

 

(i)        Compliance
with Section 409A. It is the intention of the Company that no payment or entitlement pursuant to this Plan will give rise to any adverse
tax consequences to any person pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The Committee shall interpret and apply the Plan to that end, and
shall not give effect to any provision therein in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to adverse tax consequences
under Section 409A.

		14.	EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

The Plan shall be effective as of September 30, 2022 if, and
only if, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock present, or represented, and entitled to vote thereon (voting
as a single class) at a duly held meeting of the shareholders of the Company approve the Plan within twelve months after such date. If
so approved by the shareholders, the Committee may grant Awards under the Plan from time to time until the close of business on September
29, 2032. The Board may at any time amend the Plan; provided, however, that without approval of the Company’s shareholders
there shall be no: (a) increase in the total number of shares covered by the Plan, except by operation of the provisions of Section 11,
or the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to any single person; (b) change in the class of persons eligible
to receive Awards under the Plan; or (c) other change in the Plan that requires shareholder approval under applicable law. Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or an Award agreement, no amendment shall adversely affect outstanding Awards without the consent of the Participant.
The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board, but any such termination will not terminate Awards then outstanding, without
the consent of the Participant.
