employees, officers and directors and fiduciaries (the “Company”);

 

1.The Employee and
the Company hereby agree and recognize that the Employee’s employment with the Company has terminated effective January 4,
2015 (the “Effective Date”) as a result of a mutual decision for the Employee to voluntarily resign from his employment.
Except as set forth herein, the Employee is entitled to no further compensation or benefits from the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, although the parties have agreed to treat Employee’s separation as a voluntary resignation, the Company agrees
to respond to any inquiry in connection with the Employee’s application for unemployment insurance benefits by informing
the Department of Labor that the Employee’s separation of employment was not at the Employee’s initiative and was the
result of a mutual negotiation.

 

2.The Employee agrees
and recognizes that his employment with the Company has been permanently and irrevocably severed. In consideration of the severance
payments representing six-months of Employee’s salary ($175,000) to be made to the Employee from the Company, the Employee
further agrees (i) that he will not seek employment or re-employment with the Company at any time in the future, and that the Company
has no obligation to employ or re-employ him or otherwise consider him for employment, and (ii) to continue to be bound by and
comply with Sections 5, 6 and 7 of the Employment Agreement dated April 20, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”) between
the Company and the Employee. The Company also acknowledges the parties continue to be bound by Sections 4.7, 9.4, and 9.5 of the
Employment Agreement. These severance payments (minus required withholdings) shall be paid periodically in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll policies. Further, the Company hereby agrees that Employee shall be permitted to exercise any and
all of his vested unexpired stock options for ninety (90) days following the Effective Date.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

3.The Employee and
the Company agree and acknowledge that this Agreement shall not be construed as an admission or acknowledgment of any wrongdoing
or liability by the Company, the same being expressly denied.

 

4.The Employee hereby
agrees to release the Company from any and all claims or causes of action he may have or claim to have against the Company (whether
known or unknown), including without limitation any and all claims arising out of or relating in any way to the Employee’s
employment with and/or separation of employment from the Company, including any and all claims under the Employment Agreement.

Family Leave Act, the New Jersey Civil Rights Act, the Rehabilitation Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, and any other federal or state law that governs the Employee’s employment relationship with the Company and/or prohibits
discrimination on the basis of, among other things, age, color, race, religion, sex, sexual preference/orientation, marital status,
national origin, disability or veteran status;

benefits, reinstatement, retroactive seniority, pension benefits, or any other form of economic loss;

 

			(f) all claims for personal injury, including physical injury, mental anguish, emotional distress,
pain and suffering, embarrassment, humiliation, damage to name or reputation, liquidated damages, and punitive damages; and

 

			(g) all claims for costs and attorneys' fees.

 

5.The Employee represents
that he has not filed any grievance, charge, claim, or complaint of any kind seeking personal recovery or personal injunctive relief
against the Company or any of its owners, employees or agents, with respect to any matter, including but not limited to, his employment
with the Company and/or the separation of that employment. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall prohibit the Employee from
(a) bringing any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement; (b) filing a timely charge or complaint with the Equal Employment

the EEOC or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC regarding any claim of employment discrimination

or complaint).

 

6.The Employee agrees to maintain
in confidence and not to disclose the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, statements to present and/or former
employees of the Company). However, it shall not be considered a breach of the obligation of confidentiality for the Employee to

insurance benefits, or as otherwise required by law.

in accordance with Company policy within ten (10) days after the Effective Date and the Company will reimburse the Employee on
the next regularly scheduled paydate thereafter consistent with the Company’s normal payroll policies.

the only consideration he has received for executing this Agreement is that set forth herein. No other promise, inducement, threat,
agreement, or understanding of any kind or description has been made with him or to him to cause him to enter into this Agreement.

“Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions,
of any one or more of the events in subsections (i) through (iv) below. For purposes of this definition, a person, entity or group
shall be deemed to “Own,” to have “Owned,” to be the “Owner” of, or to

group becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the
combined Voting Power of the Company’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation, exchange,
reorganization or similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur (A) on account
of the acquisition of securities of the Company by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any other person, entity or group from
the Company in a transaction or series of related transactions the primary purpose of which is to obtain financing for the Company
through the issuance of equity securities or (B) solely because the level of Ownership held by any person, entity or group (the
“Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the Voting Power as a result of a repurchase
or other acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change of
Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the Company,
and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase
or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned by the Subject
Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change of Control shall be deemed to occur;

than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding Voting Power of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar
transaction or (B) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding Voting Power of the parent of the surviving entity
in such merger, consolidation, exchange, reorganization or similar transaction, in each case in substantially the same proportions

of the combined Voting Power of the voting securities of which are Owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license
or other disposition (for purposes of this Section 1(f)(iii), “gross value” means the value of the assets of the Company
or the value of the assets being disposed of, as the case may be, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with
such assets); or

any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board at any time during that consecutive twelve-month period;
provided, however, that if the appointment or election (or nomination for election) of any new Board member was approved or recommended
by a majority vote of the members of the Incumbent Board then still in office, such new member shall, for purposes of the Plan,
be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Change
of Control” shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing
the domicile of the Company. To the extent required, the determination of whether a Change of Control has occurred shall be made

Incentive Stock Options. In designating Participants, the Administrator shall also determine the number of shares or cash units
to be optioned or awarded to each such Participant and any Performance Objectives applicable to Awards. The Administrator may from
time to time designate individuals as being ineligible to participate in the Plan. The power of the Administrator under this Section
5 shall be exercised from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrator and without approval by the stockholders.

 

SECTION 6.

STOCK

 

(a) Number of Shares Reserved.
The stock to be awarded or optioned under the Plan (the “Share Authorization”) shall consist of authorized but
unissued or reacquired shares of Common Stock. Subject to Section 15 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock reserved and available for Awards under the Plan is reserved and available for Awards under the Plan is seven million (7,000,000)
shares; provided, however, that all shares of Stock reserved and available under the Plan shall constitute the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Stock that may be issued through Incentive Stock Options.

 

(b) Share Usage. The following
shares of Common Stock shall not reduce the Share Authorization and shall continue to be reserved and available for Awards granted
pursuant to the Plan: (i) all or any portion of any outstanding Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit that expires or
is forfeited for any reason, or that is terminated prior to the vesting or lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on such Award, and
(ii) shares of Common Stock covered by an Award to the extent the Award is settled in cash; provided, however, that the full number
of shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Appreciation Right shall reduce the Share Authorization, whether such Stock Appreciation
Right is settled in cash or shares of Common Stock. Any shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations
on an Award, shares of Common Stock withheld to pay the exercise price of an Option, and shares of Common Stock subject to a broker-assisted
cashless exercise of an Option shall reduce the Share Authorization.

 

(c)Annual Award Limits.
Unless and until the Administrator determines that an Award to a Covered Employee shall not be Performance-Based Compensation,
the following limits (each, an “Annual Award Limit,” and collectively, “Annual Award Limits”)
shall apply to grants of such Awards under the Plan:

 

    	-8-

    	 

    

 

(i)Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options granted and shares of Common Stock subject
to Stock Appreciation Rights granted in any one calendar year to any one Participant shall be, in the aggregate, three million
(3,000,000) shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15.

 

(ii)Restricted Stock
Awards and Restricted Stock Units. The maximum grant with respect Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units in any
one calendar year to any one Participant shall be, in the aggregate, one million (1,000,000) shares, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 15.

 

(iii)Performance
Awards. To the extent payable in or measured by the value of shares of Stock, in no event shall a Participant be granted Performance
Awards during any fiscal year of the Company covering in the aggregate more than one million (1,000,000) shares, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 15. To the extent payable in cash, in no event shall a Participant be granted Performance Awards during
any fiscal year of the Company covering in the aggregate more than one million dollars ($1,000,000).

 

SECTION 7.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

 

(a)Performance Objectives.
Any Performance Objective may be used to measure the performance of the Company and/or Affiliate, as a whole or with respect to
any business unit, or any combination thereof as the Administrator may deem appropriate, or any of the specified Performance Objectives
as compared to the performance of a group of competitor companies, or published or special index that the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, deems appropriate. The Administrator also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based
on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Objectives; provided, however, that such authority
shall be subject to Code Section 162(m) with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

 

(b)Evaluation of Performance
Objectives. The Administrator may provide in any Award based on Performance Objectives that any evaluation of performance may
include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation
or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions
affecting reported results, (iv) any reorganization and restructuring programs, (v) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described
in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 225-20—Extraordinary and Unusual Items and/or in Management's Discussion and Analysis
of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company's annual report to stockholders for the applicable year,
(vi) acquisitions or divestitures, and (vii) foreign exchange gains and losses. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect
Awards to Covered Employees, they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility.

 

    	-9-

    	 

    

 

(c)Adjustment of Performance-Based
Compensation. Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Administrator
shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the
Administrator determines.

 

(d)Administrator Discretion.
In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Administrator discretion to alter the governing Performance
Objectives without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Administrator shall have sole discretion to make such changes
without obtaining stockholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Administrator determines that it is advisable to grant
Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Administrator may make such grants without satisfying the
requirements of Code Section 162(m) and, in such case, may apply performance objectives other than those set forth in this Section
7.

 

SECTION 8.

PAYMENT OF OPTION EXERCISE PRICE

 

Upon the exercise of
an Option, Participants may pay the exercise price of an Option (i) in cash, or with a personal check, certified check, or other
cash equivalent, (ii) by the surrender by the Participant to the Company of previously acquired unencumbered shares of Common Stock
(through physical delivery or attestation), (iii) through the withholding of shares of Common Stock from the number of shares otherwise
issuable upon the exercise of the Option (e.g., a net share settlement), (iv) through broker-assisted cashless exercise
if such exercise complies with applicable securities laws and any insider trading policy of the Company, (v) such other form of
payment as may be authorized by the Administrator, or (vi) by a combination thereof. In the event the Participant elects to pay
the exercise price, in whole or in part, with previously acquired shares of Common Stock or through a net share settlement, the
then-current Fair Market Value of the stock delivered or withheld shall equal the total exercise price for the shares being purchased
in such manner.

 

The Administrator may,
in its sole discretion, limit the forms of payment available to the Participant and may exercise such discretion any time prior
to the termination of the Option granted to the Participant or upon any exercise of the Option by the Participant. “Previously
acquired shares of Common Stock” means shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns on the date of exercise (or for
the period of time, if any, as may be required by generally accepted accounting principles or any successor principles applicable
to the Company).

 

With respect to payment
in the form of Common Stock, the Administrator may require advance approval or adopt such rules as it deems necessary to assure
compliance with Rule 16b-3, if applicable.

 

SECTION 9.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE
STOCK OPTIONS

 

Each Incentive Stock
Option shall be evidenced by an Incentive Stock Option Agreement, which shall comply with and be subject to the following terms
and conditions:

 

    	-10-

    	 

    

 

(a)Number
of Shares and Exercise Price. The Incentive Stock Option Agreement shall state the total number of shares covered by the
Incentive Stock Option. Except as permitted by Code Section 424(a), or any successor provision, the exercise price per share
shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the
Administrator grants the Incentive Stock Option; provided, however, that if a Participant owns stock possessing more than ten
percent (10%) of the total combined Voting Power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Parent or any Subsidiary,
the exercise price per share of an Incentive Stock Option granted to such Participant shall not be less than one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the per share Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option. The
Administrator shall have full authority and discretion in establishing the exercise price and shall be fully protected in so
doing.

 

(b)Exercisability and Term.
The Incentive Stock Option Agreement shall state when the Incentive Stock Option becomes exercisable (i.e. “vests”),
and, if applicable in the Administrator’s discretion, shall describe the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon
which vesting is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial achievement of the Performance
Objectives may result in vesting of the Option. The Participant may exercise the Incentive Stock Option, in full or in part, upon
or after the vesting date of such Option (or portion thereof). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary,
the Participant may not exercise an Incentive Stock Option after the maximum term of such Option, as such term is specified in
the Incentive Stock Option Agreement. Except as permitted by Code Section 424(a), in no event shall any Incentive Stock Option
be exercisable during a term of more than ten (10) years after the date on which it is granted; provided, however, that if a Participant
owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined Voting Power of all classes of stock of the Company or
of its Parent or any Subsidiary, the Incentive Stock Option granted to such Participant shall be exercisable during a term of not
more than five (5) years after the date on which it is granted. The Administrator may accelerate the exercisability of any Incentive
Stock Option granted hereunder which is not immediately exercisable as of the date of grant.

 

(c)No
Rights as Stockholder. A Participant (or the Participant’s successors) shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to any shares covered by an Incentive Stock Option until the date of the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Award upon
exercise, as evidenced by a stock certificate or as reflected in the books and records of the Company or its designated agent (i.e.,
a “book entry”). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities
or other property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are actually issued
(as evidenced in either certificated or book entry form). 

 

(d)Withholding. The Company
or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all legally required amounts
necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant’s exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option or a “disqualifying disposition” of shares acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option as defined in Code Section 421(b), to require the Participant to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding
requirements, or to require any combination thereof. In the event the Participant is required under the Incentive Stock Option
Agreement to pay the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related
taxes, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligation, in whole or in part,
by delivering shares of Common Stock or by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
Participant as a result of the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the
minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including
payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from such exercise or disqualifying disposition. In no
event may the Participant deliver shares, nor may the Company or any Affiliate withhold shares, having a Fair Market Value in excess
of such statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participant’s delivery of shares or the withholding of shares for
this purpose shall occur on or before the later of (i) the date the Incentive Stock Option is exercised or the date of the disqualifying
disposition, as the case may be, or (ii) the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined under applicable tax law.

 

    	-11-

    	 

    

 

(e)Vesting Limitation. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted)
of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant
during any calendar year (under the Plan and any other “incentive stock option” plans of the Company or any Affiliate
shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other amount as may be prescribed by the Code from time to time); provided, however, that if
the exercisability or vesting of an Incentive Stock Option is accelerated as permitted under the provisions of the Plan and such
acceleration would result in a violation of the limit imposed by this Section 9(e), such acceleration shall be of full force and
effect but the number of shares of Common Stock that exceed such limit shall be treated as having been granted pursuant to a Nonqualified
Stock Option; and provided, further, that the limits imposed by this Section 9(e) shall be applied to all outstanding Incentive
Stock Options under the Plan and any other “incentive stock option” plans of the Company or any Affiliate in chronological
order according to the dates of grant. 

 

(f)Other Provisions. The
Incentive Stock Option Agreement authorized under this Section 9 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall
deem advisable. Any such Incentive Stock Option Agreement shall contain such limitations and restrictions upon the exercise of
the Incentive Stock Option as shall be necessary to ensure that such Incentive Stock Option will be considered an “incentive
stock option” as defined in Code Section 422 or to conform to any change therein.

 

SECTION 10.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED
STOCK OPTIONS

 

Each Nonqualified Stock
Option shall be evidenced by a Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement, which shall comply with and be subject to the following terms

(a)Number of Shares and Exercise
Price. The Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement shall state the total number of shares covered by the Nonqualified Stock Option.
The exercise price per share shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
on the date of grant of the Nonqualified Stock Option, or such higher price as the Administrator determines.

 

(b)Exercisability and Term.
The Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement shall state when the Nonqualified Stock Option becomes exercisable (i.e. “vests”)
and, if applicable in the Administrator’s discretion, shall describe the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon
which vesting is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial achievement of the Performance
Objectives may result in vesting of the Option. The Participant may exercise the Nonqualified Stock Option, in full or in part,
upon or after the vesting date of such Option (or portion thereof); provided, however, that the Participant may not exercise a
Nonqualified Stock Option after the maximum term of such Option, as such term is specified in the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement.
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and specified in the Agreement governing the Award, no Nonqualified Stock Option
shall be exercisable during a term of more than ten (10) years after the date on which it is granted. The Administrator may accelerate
the exercisability of any Nonqualified Stock Option granted hereunder which is not immediately exercisable as of the date of grant.

 

(c)No Rights as Stockholder.
A Participant (or the Participant’s successors) shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered
by a Nonqualified Stock Option until the date of the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Award upon exercise, as evidenced
by a stock certificate or as reflected in the books and records of the Company or its designated agent (i.e., a “book
entry”). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property),
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are actually issued (as evidenced in either
certificated or book entry form).

 

(d)Withholding. The Company
or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all legally required amounts
necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant’s exercise of a
Nonqualified Stock Option, to require the Participant to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements, or
to require any combination thereof. In the event the Participant is required under the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement to pay
the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related taxes,
the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligation, in whole or in part, by delivering
shares of Common Stock or by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant
as a result of the exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required
tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes,
that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from such exercise. In no event may the Participant deliver shares, nor
may the Company or any Affiliate withhold shares, having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding.
The Participant’s delivery of shares or the withholding of shares for this purpose shall occur on or before the later of
(i) the date the Nonqualified Stock Option is exercised, or (ii) the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined under
applicable tax law.

 

    	-13-

    	 

    

 

(e)Other Provisions. The
Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement authorized under this Section 10 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall
deem advisable.

conditions:

 

(a)Number of
Shares. The Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall state the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted
Stock Award.

 

(b)Risks of
Forfeiture. The Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall set forth the risks of forfeiture, if any, which shall apply to the
shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award and the manner in which such risks of forfeiture shall lapse, including,
if applicable in the Administrator’s discretion, a description of the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon
which the lapse of risks of forfeiture is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial
achievement of the Performance Objectives may result in lapse of risks of forfeiture. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
modify the manner in which such risks of forfeiture shall lapse but only with respect to those shares of Common Stock which are
restricted as of the effective date of the modification.

 

(c)Issuance
of Shares; Rights as Stockholder. Except as provided below, the Company shall cause a stock certificate to be issued and shall
deliver such certificate to the Participant or hold such certificate in a manner determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion;
provided, however, that in lieu of a stock certificate, the Company may evidence the issuance of shares by a book entry in the
records of the Company or its designated agent (if permitted by the Company’s designated agent and applicable law, as determined
by the Administrator in its sole discretion). The Company shall cause a legend or notation to be placed on such certificate or
book entry describing the risks of forfeiture and other transfer restrictions set forth in the Participant’s Restricted Stock
Award Agreement and providing for the cancellation and, if applicable, return of such certificate or book entry if the shares of
Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award are forfeited. Until the risks of forfeiture have lapsed or the shares subject
to such Restricted Stock Award have been forfeited, the Participant shall be entitled to vote the shares of Common Stock represented
by such stock certificates and shall receive all dividends attributable to such shares, but the Participant shall not have any
other rights as a stockholder with respect to such shares.

 

(d)Withholding
Taxes. The Company or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all
legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant’s

forfeiture have lapsed. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the
minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental
income resulting from the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on such Restricted Stock Award. In no event may the Participant deliver
shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participant’s delivery

shall deem advisable.

Stock Unit.

 

(b)Vesting.
The Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall set forth the vesting conditions, if any, which shall apply to the Restricted Stock Unit

to such Award vest. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, pay Restricted Stock Units in shares of Common Stock, cash in
an amount equal to the Fair Market Value, on the date of payment, of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Award
that have vested on the applicable payment date, or any combination thereof, as specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.
If payment is made in shares of Common Stock, the Administrator shall cause to be issued one or more stock certificates in the
Participant’s name and shall deliver such certificates to the Participant in satisfaction of such units; provided, however,
that in lieu of stock certificates, the Company may evidence such shares by a book entry in the records of the Company or its designated
agent (if permitted by the Company’s designated agent and applicable law, as determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion). Until the units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit have vested, the Participant shall not be entitled to vote any
shares of Common Stock which may be acquired through the Award, shall not receive any dividends attributable to such shares, and
shall not have any other rights as a stockholder with respect to such shares.

 

    	-15-

    	 

    

 

(d)Withholding
Taxes. The Company or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all
legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant’s
Restricted Stock Unit, to require the Participant to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements, or to
require any combination thereof. In the event the Participant is required under the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to pay the

the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, by delivering
shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit. Such shares shall have
a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal
and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from the payment of such
Restricted Stock Unit. In no event may the Participant deliver shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum
required tax withholding. The Participant’s delivery of shares for this purpose shall occur on or before the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is determined under applicable tax law.

 

(e)Other Provisions. The
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement authorized under this Section 12 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall

SECTION 13.

PERFORMANCE AWARDS

 

Each Performance Award
granted pursuant to this Section 13 shall be evidenced by a written performance award agreement (the “Performance Award Agreement”).
The Performance Award Agreement shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Administrator and may vary from
Participant to Participant; provided, however, that each Participant and each Performance Award Agreement shall comply with and
be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)Awards. Performance Awards
in the form of Performance Units or Performance Shares may be granted to any Participant in the Plan. Performance Units shall consist
of monetary awards which may be earned or become vested in whole or in part if the Company or the Participant achieves certain
Performance Objectives established by the Administrator over a specified Performance Period. Performance Shares shall consist of
shares of Stock or other Awards denominated in shares of Stock that may be earned or become vested in whole or in part if the Company
or the Participant achieves certain Performance Objectives established by the Administrator over a specified Performance Period.

Period and Payment. The Performance Award Agreement shall set forth:

 

    	-16-

    	 

    

 

(i)the number of Performance Units
or Performance Shares subject to the Performance Award, and the dollar value of each Performance Unit;

 

(ii) one or more Performance Objectives
established by the Administrator;

 

(iii)the Performance Period over
which Performance Units or Performance Shares may be earned or may become vested;

achievement of the Performance Objectives may result in a payment or vesting of the Performance Award, as determined by the Administrator;
and

 

(v)the date upon which payment
of Performance Units will be made or Performance Shares will be issued, as the case may be, and the extent to which such payment
or the receipt of such Performance Shares or Performance Units may be deferred.

 

(c)Withholding Taxes. The
Company or its Affiliates shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant all legally required amounts
necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant’s Performance Award.
In the event the Participant is required under the Performance Award Agreement to pay the Company or its Affiliates, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company or its Affiliates respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related taxes, the Administrator
may, in its discretion and pursuant to such rules as it may adopt, permit the Participant to satisfy such obligations, in whole
or in part, by delivering shares of Common Stock, including shares of Stock received pursuant to the Performance Award. Such shares
shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates
for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes. In no event may the Participant deliver shares having a Fair Market
Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participant’s election to deliver shares of Common
Stock for this purpose shall be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined under applicable
tax law. Such election shall be approved by the Administrator and otherwise comply with such rules as the Administrator may adopt
to assure compliance with Rule 16b-3, or any successor provision, as then in effect, of the General Rules and Regulations under
the Exchange Act, if applicable.

 

(d)Nontransferability. No
Performance Award shall be transferable, in whole or in part, by the Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. If the Participant shall attempt any transfer of any Performance Award granted under the Plan, such transfer
shall be void and the Performance Award shall terminate.

 

(e)No Rights as Stockholder.A Participant (or the Participant’s successor or successors) shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares
covered by a Performance Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate evidencing such shares. No adjustment shall
be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is actually issued (except as otherwise provided in Section
14 of the Plan).

 

    	-17-

    	 

    

 

(f)Other Provisions. The
Performance Award Agreement authorized under this Section 12 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall deem
advisable.

 

SECTION 14.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

Each Stock Appreciation
Right shall be evidenced by a Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, which shall comply with and be subject to the following terms
and conditions:

 

(a)Awards. A Stock Appreciation
Right shall entitle the Participant to receive, upon exercise, cash, shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof, having
a value equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date of such exercise,
over (ii) a specified exercise price. The number of shares and the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined
by the Administrator on the date of grant. The specified exercise price shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of such
shares of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, or such higher price as the Administrator determines.
A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted independent of or in tandem with a previously or contemporaneously granted Option.

 

(b)Exercisability and Term.
The Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall state when the Stock Appreciation Right becomes exercisable (i.e., “vests”)
and, if applicable in the Administrator’s discretion, shall describe the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon
which vesting is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial achievement of the Performance
Objectives may result in vesting of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Participant may exercise the Stock Appreciation Right, in
full or in part, upon or after the vesting date of such Stock Appreciation Right (or portion thereof); provided, however, that
the Participant may not exercise a Stock Appreciation Right after the maximum term of such Stock Appreciation Right, as such term
is specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and specified in the Agreement
governing the Award, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during a term of more than ten (10) years after the date
on which it is granted.

 

The Administrator may
accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder which is not immediately exercisable as of the
date of grant. If a Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option, the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall
set forth the extent to which the exercise of all or a portion of the Stock Appreciation Right shall cancel a corresponding portion
of the Option, and the extent to which the exercise of all or a portion of the Option shall cancel a corresponding portion of the
Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(c)Withholding Taxes. The
Company or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all legally required
amounts necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant’s Stock
Appreciation Right, to require the Participant to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements, or to require
any combination thereof. In the event the Participant is required under the Stock Appreciation Right to pay the Company or its
Affiliate, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or its Affiliate respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related
taxes, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligation, in whole or in part,
by delivering shares of Common Stock or by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
Participant as a result of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the
minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including
payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from such exercise. In no event may the Participant deliver
shares, nor may the Company or any Affiliate withhold shares, having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required
tax withholding. The Participant’s delivery of shares or the withholding of shares for this purpose shall occur on or before
the later of (i) the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, or (ii) the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is
determined under applicable tax law.

(d)No Rights as Stockholder.
A Participant (or the Participant’s successors) shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered
by a Stock Appreciation Right until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate evidencing such shares; provided, however,
that in lieu of stock certificates, the Company may evidence such shares by a book entry in the records of the Company or its designated
agent (if permitted by the Company’s designated agent and applicable law, as determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property),
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is actually issued or such
book entry is made.

 

(e)Other Provisions. The
Stock Appreciation Right Agreement authorized under this Section 14 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall
deem advisable, including but not limited to any restrictions on the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right which may be necessary
to comply with Rule 16b-3.

 

SECTION 15.

RECAPITALIZATION, EXCHANGE, 

LIQUIDATION, OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

 

(a)In General. In the event
of an increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock dividend, stock split, reverse split,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, other than due to conversion of the convertible securities of the
Company, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, adjust the value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards and the
Plan in order to reflect such change, including adjustment of the class and number of shares of stock reserved under Section 6
of the Plan, the class and number of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Award, and, if and as applicable, the exercise
price per share of each outstanding Award and the Annual Award Limits. Additional shares which may become covered by the Award
pursuant to such adjustment shall be subject to the same restrictions as are applicable to the shares with respect to which the
adjustment relates.

 

    	-19-

    	 

    

 

(b)Liquidation. Unless otherwise
provided in the Agreement evidencing an Award, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator may
provide for one or both of the following:

 

(i)                
the acceleration of the exercisability of any or all outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the vesting and payment
of any or all Performance Awards, or Restricted Stock Units, or the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on any or all Restricted
Stock Awards; provided, however, that no such acceleration, vesting or payment shall occur if the acceleration, vesting or payment
would violate the requirements of Code Section 409A; or

 

(ii)              
the complete termination of the Plan and the cancellation of any or all Awards (or portions thereof) which have not been
exercised, have not vested, or remain subject to risks of forfeiture, as applicable, in each case immediately prior to the completion
of such a dissolution or liquidation.

 

(c)Change of Control. Unless
otherwise provided in the Agreement evidencing an Award, in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator may provide for
one or more of the following:

 

(i)                
the acceleration of the exercisability of any outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or portions thereof), the
vesting and payment of any Performance Awards (or portions thereof), or the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on any Restricted
Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units (or portion thereof);

 

(ii)              
the complete termination of this Plan, the cancellation of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or portion
thereof) not exercised prior to a date specified by the Board (which date shall give Participants a reasonable period of time in
which to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right prior to the effective date of such Change of Control), the cancellation
of any Performance Award (or portion thereof) and the cancellation of any Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units (or
portion thereof) for which the risks of forfeiture have not lapsed; 

 

(iii)            
that the entity succeeding the Company by reason of such Change of Control, or the parent of such entity, shall assume or
continue any or all Awards (or portions thereof) outstanding immediately prior to the Change of Control or substitute for any or
all such Awards (or portions thereof) a substantially equivalent award with respect to the securities of such successor entity,
as determined in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; or

 

(iv)            
that Participants holding outstanding Awards shall become entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock
subject to such Award (whether vested or unvested, as determined by the Administrator pursuant to subsection (c)(i) hereof) as
of the effective date of any such Change of Control, cash in an amount equal to (1) for Participants holding Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights, the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of such Change
of Control over the exercise price per share of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or (2) for Participants holding Awards other
than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the effective
date of such Change of Control.

 

    	-20-

    	 

    

 

The Administrator need not take the same
action with respect to all Awards (or portions thereof) or with respect to all Participants. In addition, the Administrator may
restrict the rights of or the applicability of this Section 15 to the extent necessary to comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, the Internal Revenue Code or any other applicable law or regulation. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not
limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure or to merge, exchange or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business
or assets.

 

SECTION 16.

NONTRANSFERABILITY

 

(a) In General. Except as
expressly provided in the Plan or an Agreement, no Award shall be transferable by the Participant, in whole or in part, other than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If the Participant shall attempt any transfer of any Award, such transfer shall
be void and the Award shall terminate.

 

(b)Nonqualified Stock Options.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16 to the contrary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the Participant
to transfer any or all Nonqualified Stock Options to any member of the Participant’s “immediate family” as such
term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision, or to one or more trusts whose beneficiaries
are members of such Participant’s “immediate family” or partnerships in which such family members are the only
partners; provided, however, that the Participant cannot receive any consideration for the transfer and such transferred Nonqualified
Stock Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Nonqualified Stock Option
immediately prior to its transfer.

 

(c)Beneficiary Designation.
Each Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of such Participant’s death before receipt of any or all of such
benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the
Administrator, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s
lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the
Participant’s estate.

SECTION 17.

INVESTMENT PURPOSE AND SECURITIES
COMPLIANCE

 

No shares of Common
Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Plan unless and until there has been compliance, in the opinion of Company’s counsel,
with all applicable legal requirements, including without limitation, those relating to securities laws and stock exchange listing
requirements. As a condition to the issuance of Common Stock to Participant, the Administrator may require Participant to (a) represent
that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired for investment and not resale and to make such other representations as the
Administrator shall deem necessary or appropriate to qualify the issuance of the shares as exempt from the Securities Act of 1933
and any other applicable securities laws, and (b) represent that Participant shall not dispose of the shares of Common Stock in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable securities laws.

 

As a further condition
to the grant of any Option or the issuance of Common Stock to a Participant, the Participant agrees to the following:

 

(a)In the event the Company advises
the Participant that it plans an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the Participant will execute any lock-up agreement the Company and the underwriter(s) deem necessary or appropriate,
in their sole discretion, in connection with such public offering.

 

(b)In the event the Company makes
any public offering of its securities and determines in its sole discretion that it is necessary to reduce the number of outstanding
Awards so as to comply with any state’s securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect thereto, the Board of Directors
of the Company shall have the right (i) to accelerate the exercisability of any Award and the date on which such Award must be
exercised or remove the risks of forfeiture to which the Award is subject, provided that the Company gives Participant prior written
notice of such acceleration or removal, and (ii) to cancel any outstanding Awards (or portions thereof) which Participant does
not exercise prior to or contemporaneously with such public offering.

 

(c)In the event of a Change of
Control, Participant will comply with Rule 145 of the Securities Act of 1933 and any other restrictions imposed under other applicable
legal or accounting principles if Participant is an “affiliate” (as defined in such applicable legal and accounting
principles) at the time of the Change of Control, and Participant will execute any documents necessary to ensure compliance with
such rules.

 

The Company reserves
the right to place a legend on any stock certificate (or a notation on any book entry shares permitted by the Administrator) issued
in connection with an Award pursuant to the Plan to assure compliance with this Section 17.

 

The Company shall not
be required to register or maintain the registration of the Plan, any Award, or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to
the Plan under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable securities laws. If the Company is unable to obtain the authority
that the Company or its counsel deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall
not be liable for the failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon the exercise, vesting, or lapse of restrictions of forfeiture
of an Award unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant shall not be eligible for the grant of an Award or the issuance
of Common Stock pursuant to an Award if such grant or issuance would violate any applicable securities law.

SECTION 18.

AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

The Board may from
time to time, insofar as permitted by law, suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect; provided, however,
that no such suspension, termination, revision, or amendment, except as is authorized in Section 15, shall impair the terms and
conditions of any Award which is outstanding on the date of such suspension, termination, revision, or amendment to the material
detriment of the Participant without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section
15 of the Plan or to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Board may not, without stockholder approval, revise
or amend the Plan to (i) materially increase the number of shares subject to the Plan, (ii) change the designation of Participants,
including the class of Employees, eligible to receive Awards, (iii) decrease the price at which Options or Stock Appreciation Rights
may be granted, (iv) cancel, regrant, repurchase for cash, or replace Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that have an exercise
price in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock with other awards, or amend the terms of outstanding Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights to reduce their exercise price, (v) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan,
or (vi) make any modification that will cause Incentive Stock Options to fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 422.

 

To the extent applicable,
the Plan and all Agreements shall be interpreted to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and, if
applicable, to comply with Code Section 422, in each case including the regulations, notices, and other guidance of general applicability
issued thereunder. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, the Board may amend the
Plan or Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with such requirements without the consent of the Participant.

 

SECTION 19.

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED
WITH AWARDS 

 

(a)No Obligation to Exercise.
The granting of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise such Option or
Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(b)No Employment or Other Service
Rights. The granting of an Award hereunder shall not impose upon the Company or any Affiliate any obligation to retain the
Participant in its employ or service for any period.

 

(c)Unfunded Plan. Participants
shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any particular assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates by reason
of the right to receive a benefit under the terms of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its
provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any
Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
shares of Common Stock or payments from the Company or any of its Affiliates under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than
the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be. All payments to be made hereunder
shall be paid from the general funds of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be. In its sole discretion, the Administrator
may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the shares
of Common Stock or make payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such
trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

SECTION 20.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

(a)               
Issuance of Shares. The Company is not required to issue or remove restrictions on shares of Common Stock granted
pursuant to the Plan until the Administrator determines that: (i) all conditions of the Award have been satisfied, (ii) all legal
matters in connection with the issuance have been satisfied, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company
such representations or agreements as the Administrator may consider appropriate, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the requirements
of any applicable law or regulation.

 

(b)              
Choice of Law. The law of the state of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity,
and interpretation of the Plan, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws rules.

 

(c)               
Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality
or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal
or invalid provision had not been included.

 

(d)              
No Duty to Notify. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such Participant as
to the time and manner of exercising an Award or as to the pending termination or expiration of such Award. In addition, the Company
has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the Participant.
