2.
Registration.

 

a. Mandatory
Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary)
covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with
Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional
shares of Securities as may become issuable upon stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Company shall initially
register for resale all of the Registerable Securities, or an amount equal to the maximum amount allowed under Rule 415 (a)(1)(i)
as interpreted by the SEC. In the event the Company cannot register sufficient shares of Securities, due to the remaining number
of authorized shares of Securities being insufficient, the Company will use its best efforts to register the maximum number of
shares it can based on the remaining balance of authorized shares and will use its best efforts to increase the number of its authorized
shares as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

b. The
Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement filed with the SEC within sixty (60) days following the
Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”). If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities
required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not filed by the Filing Deadline, then the
Company shall pay the Holder the sum of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Amount as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty.
The liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2(b) shall be paid, at the Holder’s option, in cash or
Securities priced at the Share Price, or portion thereof. Failure of the Company to make payment within five (5) business
days of the Filing Date shall be considered a breach of this Agreement. 

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be payable to the extent any delay in
the filing of the Registration Statement occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act or to act timely by the Holder or is
otherwise attributable to the Holder.

 

The Company acknowledges
that its failure to have the Registration Statement filed by the Filing Deadline will cause the Holder to suffer irreparable harm,
and, that damages will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement
a provision for liquidated damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this Section
2(b) represents the Parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount
of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve
the Company from its obligations to register the Securities and deliver the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

c. The
Company shall use its best efforts and take all available steps to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC
within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Filing Date (the “Effective Deadline”). If the Registration
Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof has not
become effective by the Effective Deadline, then the Company shall pay the Holder the sum of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Amount
as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. The liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2(c) shall be paid, at the
Holder’s option, in cash or Securities priced at the Share Price, or portion thereof. Failure of the Company to make payment
within five (5) business days of the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC shall be considered a breach
of this Agreement.

 

    3

     

    

 

If
the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof has become effective, and, thereafter, the Holder’s right to sell is suspended, for any reason, then the Company
shall pay the Holder the sum of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Amount plus interest and penalties due to the Holder for the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement for each ten (10) calendar day period, pro rata, compounded
daily, following the suspension, until such suspension ceases (the “Suspension Damages”). The Suspension Damages
shall continue until the obligation is fulfilled and shall be paid within five (5) business days after each ten (10) day period,
or portion thereof, until such suspension is released. The Suspension Damages shall be paid, at the Holder’s option,
in cash or Securities priced at the Share Price, or portion thereof. Failure of the Company to make
payment within said five (5) business days after each ten (10) day period shall be considered a breach of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall not be payable to the extent any delay
in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any suspension of the effectiveness occurs because of an act of, or a failure
to act or to act timely by the Holder or is otherwise attributable to the Holder.

 

The Company acknowledges
that its failure to have the Registration Statement become effective by the Effective Deadline or to permit the suspension of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, will cause the Holder to suffer irreparable harm and, that damages will be difficult
to ascertain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated damages.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this Section 2(c) represents the Parties’
good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable
and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to register
the Securities and deliver the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

d. The
Company agrees to only register such securities as are necessary to meet its obligations to the Holder and agrees not to register
additional securities without the Holder’s prior written consent to be agreed upon in writing by the Holder before the Filing
Date. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it will not file any other Registration Statement, including those on Form S-8 or Form
S-4, for other securities, for a period of two years from the Closing Date, unless it has the prior written approval from the Holder.
Failure to obtain prior written approval from the Holder will cause the Holder to suffer damages that will be difficult to ascertain.
Accordingly, the Parties agree that it is appropriate to include a provision for liquidated damages and the Company agrees to pay
the Holder the sum of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Amount as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for each thirty (30) calendar
day period, pro rata, compounded daily, until the unauthorized Registration Statement is withdrawn.

 

    4

     

    

 

e. Mandatory
filing with FINRA. By the Effective Deadline, the Company shall have prepared with a Financial Investment Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”) registered market maker (“Market Maker”), to; (i) file a Form 15c2-11 (“Form
15c”) with FINRA, to request a trading symbol for, and as notification of its intentions for, the Securities to become
publicly-traded and quoted on a Principal Market, and (ii) as soon as the Company is able upon clearance of the Form 15c, cause
the Market Maker and/or a securities clearing firm to coordinate with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”),
to have the Securities eligible for electronic clearing and transfer (“DTC Filing”, together with the Form 15c,
the “15c Documents”). The DTC Filing shall be made immediately upon clearance of the Form 15c by FINRA.

 

The Company shall use its best efforts
to have the Form 15c filed with FINRA within five (5) business days following the Effective Date (“15c Filing Deadline”).
If the 15c Documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof are not filed by the 15c Filing
Deadline, and any such delay in filing is not attributed to the Company’s action or inaction, then the Company shall pay
the Holder the sum of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Amount as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. The liquidated damages
set forth in this Section 2(e) shall be paid, at the Holder’s option, in cash or Securities priced at the Share Price,
or portion thereof. Failure of the Company to make payment within five (5) business days of the date that the Form 15c is filed
shall be considered a breach of this Agreement. 

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2(e) shall not be payable to the extent any delay
in the filing of the Form 15c occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act or to act timely, by the Holder, or is otherwise
attributable to the Holder.

 

The Company acknowledges
that its failure to have the Form 15c and the DTC Filing as provided herein will cause the Holder to suffer irreparable harm, and,
that damages will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement
a provision for liquidated damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this Section
2(e) represents the Parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount
of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve
the Company from its obligations to file and have declared effective, the 15c Documents, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

f. The Company shall use its best
efforts and take all available steps to have the 15c Documents declared effective by FINRA and DTCC within sixty (60)
calendar days after the date that the Form 15c is filed (“15c Documents Effective Deadline”). If the 15c
Documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof have not become effective by the 15c
Documents Effective Deadline, then the Company shall pay the Holder the sum of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Amount as
liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. The liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2(f) shall be paid, at the
Holder’s option, in cash or Securities priced at the Share Price, or portion thereof. Failure of the Company to make
payment within five (5) business days of the date that the Form 15c is declared effective by FINRA and DTCC shall be
considered a breach of this Agreement. 

 

    5

     

    

 

If
the 15c Documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof have become effective, and, thereafter,
the Holder’s right to sell is suspended, for any reason, then the Company shall pay the Holder the sum of once percent (1%)
of the Purchase Amount plus interest and penalties due to the Holder for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement for each ten (10) calendar day period, pro rata, compounded daily, following the suspension, until such suspension
ceases (the “15c Suspension Penalties”). The 15c Suspension Penalties shall continue until the obligation is
fulfilled and shall be paid within five (5) business days after each ten (10) day period, or portion thereof, until the such suspension
is released. The 15c Suspension Damages shall be paid, at the Holder’s option, in cash
or Securities priced at the Share Price, or portion thereof. Failure of the Company to make payment within said five (5) business
days after each ten (10) day period shall be considered a breach of this Agreement. 

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2(f) shall not be payable to the extent any delay
in the effectiveness of the 15c Documents, or any suspension of the effectiveness occurs because of an act of, or a failure to
act or to act timely by, the Holder, or is otherwise attributable to the Holder.

 

The Company acknowledges
that its failure to have the 15c Documents become effective within said 15c Documents Effective Deadline or to permit the suspension
of the effectiveness of the 15c Documents, will cause the Holder to suffer irreparable harm and, that damages will be difficult
to ascertain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated damages.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this Section 2(f) represents the Parties’
good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable
and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to register
the Securities and deliver the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3.
Related Obligations.

 

At such time as the
Company is obligated to prepare and file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, the Company
will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof and, with respect thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

a. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective
within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Filing Date and shall keep such Registration Statement effective pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act until the date on which the Holder shall have sold all the Registrable Securities or the Shares
included therein otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Registration Period”), which Registration
Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall, as of the date thereof, not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

 

    6

     

    

 

b. The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule
424 under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Registration Period,
and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities
of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holder as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event
the number of shares of Securities available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is at any time insufficient
to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend such Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement
(on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in each case,
as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises (based on the then
Purchase Price of the Securities and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely), assuming the Company
has sufficient authorized shares at that time, and if it does not, within thirty (30) calendar days after such shares are authorized.
The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof.

 

c The
Company shall furnish to the Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its legal counsel
without charge and upon request (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC at least one copy of such Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference
and all exhibits, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and, with regards
to such Registration Statement(s), any correspondence by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC and any
correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such
other number of copies as the Holder may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary
or final prospectus, as the Holder may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities. The Company filing the documents described in this paragraph through EDGAR shall constitute delivery.

 

d. The
Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as reasonably specified by the
Holder, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to
such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period,
(iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during
the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section
3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process
in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Holder who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice
of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

    7

     

    

 

e. The Company shall
immediately notify the Holder in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, would then contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact, which
would otherwise be required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; and, as a result, is required to be supplemented or as a result of which the Registration
Statement is required to be amended (“Registration Default”) and use all diligent efforts to promptly prepare
any necessary supplement to such prospectus or amendment to such Registration Statement and take any other necessary steps to cure
the Registration Default, (which, if such Registration Statement is on Form S-3, may consist of a document to be filed by the Company
with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus) to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver
one (1) copy of such supplement or amendment to Holder (or such other number of copies as Holder may reasonably request; delivery
via EDGAR shall constitute delivery). Failure to cure the Registration Default within five (5) business days shall result in the
Company paying liquidated damages of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Amount for each thirty (30) calendar day period or portion
thereof, beginning on the date of suspension. The Company shall also promptly notify Holder in writing (i) when a prospectus or
any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Holder by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness
and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus
or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement would be appropriate, (iv) in the event the Registration Statement is no longer effective or, (v) the Registration Statement
is stale for a period of more than five (5) trading days as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its financials
with the SEC.

 

The Company acknowledges
that its failure to cure the Registration Default within five (5) business days will cause the Holder irreparable harm, and that
damages will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision
for liquidated damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this Section 4(e)
represents the Parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated
damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty.

 

    8

     

    

 

It is the intention
of the Parties that interest payable under any of the terms of this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under
any applicable law. If a law, which applies to this Agreement which sets the maximum interest amount, is finally interpreted so
that the interest in connection with this Agreement exceeds the permitted limits, then: (1) any such interest shall be reduced
by the amount necessary to reduce the interest to the permitted limit; and (2) any sums already collected (if any) from the Company
which exceed the permitted limits will be refunded to the Company. The Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the amount
that the Company owes under this Agreement or by making a direct payment to the Company. If a refund reduces the amount that the
Company owes the Holder, the reduction will be treated as a partial payment. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall
be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

f.  The
Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such
an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify
the Holder of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof. The Company will immediately notify the Holder of a proceeding,
or threat of proceeding, the result of which could affect the effectiveness of the registration statement.

 

g. The
Company shall permit the Holder and its counsel, of the Holder’s choosing, to review and comment upon all Registration Statements,
amendments and supplements, at least seven (7) days prior to filing. The Company shall not file any Registration Statement with
which Holder or its counsel reasonably objects.

 

h. The
Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Holder and (ii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other
agents retained by the Holder (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent financial and other records, and
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably
deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which
any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in strict confidence and shall not make
any disclosure (except to the Holder) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be
confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act,
(b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body
of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the Inspector has knowledge. The Holder agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

 

    9

     

    

 

i. The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Holder unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered
pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv)
such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any
other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought
in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Holder
and allow the Holder, at the Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective
order for, such information.

 

j. The
Company shall use its best efforts to secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration
Statement on the Principal Market. If, despite the Company’s best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying this
obligation, it shall use its best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be listed
on each other national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, on which securities of the same class or series
issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules
of such exchange or system. If, despite the Company’s best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying its obligation
in this Section, it will use its best efforts to secure the inclusion for quotation with Pink Sheets, LLC. The Company shall pay
all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).

 

k. The
Company shall cooperate with the Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates
to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holder may reasonably request and registered in such names of
the Persons who shall acquire such Registrable Securities from the Holder, as the Holder may request.

 

l. The
Company shall provide a transfer agent for all the Registrable Securities not later than the Effective Date of the first Registration
Statement filed pursuant hereto.

 

m. If
requested by the Holder, the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably practical, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as Holder reasonably determines should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of
Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the offering of the Registrable Securities to
be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified
of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments
to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by Holder.

 

n. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

 

    10

     

    

 

o. The
Company shall make available to the Holder as soon as reasonably practical, but not later than ninety (90) calendar days after
the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities
Act) covering a 12-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the
effective date of any Registration Statement. Filing via EDGAR shall constitute delivery.

 

p. The
Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with
any registration hereunder.

 

q. Within
five (5) business days after the Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC,
the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable
Securities, with copies to the Holder, confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

r. After
the SEC declares the Registration Statement cleared of all comments and the Company’s acceptance of the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement, the Company shall file a prospectus covering the resale of the Shares (the “Prospectus”)
within five (5) trading days.

 

s. The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Holder of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

4.
Obligations Of The Holder.

 

a. At
least five (5) calendar days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the
Holder in writing of the information the Company requires from the Holder. The Holder covenants and agrees that, in connection
with any resale of Registrable Securities by it pursuant to a Registration Statement, it shall comply with the “Plan of Distribution”

Indemnification.

 

In the event any Registrable
Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

a. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby agrees to, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Holder who
holds such Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if
any, who controls Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid
in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court
or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified
party is or may be a party thereto (Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such
Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky”
laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any
state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”).
Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(c) hereof with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall
reimburse the Holder and each such controlling person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a):
(i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation committed by any Indemnified Person or which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person expressly for use
in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus
were timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof; (ii) shall not be available to the extent such
Claim is based on (a) a failure of the Holder to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company
or (b) the Indemnified Person’s use of an incorrect prospectus despite being promptly advised in advance by the Company in
writing not to use such incorrect prospectus; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall
survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holder pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

    12

     

    

 

b. Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action
or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying
party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to
the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of
the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified
Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained
by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal
counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such counsel shall be selected by the Holder,
if the Holder is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder,
as applicable. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with
any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all
information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying
party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability
in respect to such Claim. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all
rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the
matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable
time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its
ability to defend such action.

 

    13

     

    

 

c. The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

d. The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law.

 

7.
Contribution.

 

To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 hereof to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification
under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 hereof; (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities
who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8. Reports
Under The Exchange Act. 

 

With a view to making
available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may
at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”)
the Company agrees to:

 

a. make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

b. file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents as are required
by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

c. furnish
to the Holder so long as the Holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company
that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

For purposes of the Plan,
the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:

the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided that if after such acquisition by the Company such person
becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting

3.                 
Administration.

 

(a)               Authority
of the Committee. Except as otherwise provided below, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee
shall have full and final authority, in each case subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to
(1) select Eligible Persons to become Participants, (2) grant Awards, (3) determine the type, number and type
of shares of Stock subject to, other terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, Awards, (4) prescribe
Award Agreements (which need not be identical for each Participant) and rules and regulations for the administration of the
Plan, (5) construe and interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and correct defects, supply omissions, and reconcile
inconsistencies therein, (6) suspend the right to exercise Awards during any period that the Committee deems appropriate
to comply with applicable securities laws, and thereafter extend the exercise period of an Award by an equivalent period of
time or such shorter period required by, or necessary to comply with, applicable law, and (7) make all other decisions
and determinations as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Any action of the
Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all Persons, including, without limitation, the Company, its
stockholders and Affiliates, Eligible Persons, Participants, and beneficiaries of Participants. Notwithstanding anything in
the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the ability to accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Award at any time
and for any reason, including upon a Corporate Event, subject to Section ‎10(d),
or in the event of a Participant’s Termination by the Service Recipient other than for Cause, or due to the
Participant’s death, Disability or retirement (as such term may be defined in an applicable Award Agreement or
Participant Agreement, or, if no such definition exists, in accordance with the Company’s then-current employment
policies and guidelines). For the avoidance of doubt, the Board shall have the authority to take all actions under the Plan
that the Committee is permitted to take.

 

    - 7 -

     

    

 

(b)              
Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified
Member, any action of the Committee relating to an Award granted or to be granted to a Participant who is then subject to Section 16
of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company, must be taken by the remaining members of the Committee or a subcommittee, designated
by the Committee or the Board, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members (a “Qualifying Committee”).
Any action authorized by such a Qualifying Committee shall be deemed the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. The
express grant of any specific power to a Qualifying Committee, and the taking of any action by such a Qualifying Committee, shall
not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee.

 

(c)              
Delegation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to officers or employees
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine,
to perform such functions under the Plan, including, but not limited to, administrative functions, as the Committee may determine
appropriate. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan. Any actions taken by an officer or employee
delegated authority pursuant to this Section ‎3(c) within the scope of such delegation
shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to be an action taken by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award granted under the Plan to any Eligible Person who is not an employee of
the Company or any of its Affiliates (including any non-employee director of the Company or any Affiliate) or to any Eligible Person
who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be expressly approved by the Committee or Qualifying Committee in accordance
with Section ‎3(b) above.

 

(d)              
Sections 409A and 457A. The Committee shall take into account compliance with Sections 409A and
457A of the Code in connection with any grant of an Award under the Plan, to the extent applicable. While the Awards granted hereunder
are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the imposition of any penalty taxes under Sections 409A and 457A of the
Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties
that may be imposed on a Participant as a result of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code or any damages for failing to
comply with Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code or any similar state or local laws (other than for withholding obligations
or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code).

 

4.                 
Shares Available Under the Plan; Other Limitations.

 

(a)               Number
of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section ‎10
hereof, the total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan
shall equal 15,000,000. Unless the Committee acts, prior to the first day of a given fiscal year, to provide otherwise, the
total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan will be
increased on the first day of the first nine (9) fiscal years following the Company’s fiscal year in which the
Effective Date occurs, in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Stock on the
last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (y) such fewer number of shares of Stock as is determined by the
Committee. Shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or previously issued
shares of Stock reacquired by the Company on the open market or by private purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) except as may be required by reason of Section 422 of the Code, the number of shares of Stock available for
issuance hereunder shall not be reduced by shares issued pursuant to Awards issued or assumed in connection with a merger or
acquisition as contemplated by, as applicable, NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, NASDAQ Listing
Rule 5635(c) and IM-5635-1, AMEX Company Guide Section 711, or other applicable stock exchange rules, and their
respective successor rules and listing exchange promulgations (each such Award, a “Substitute Award”)
and (iii) shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an
Award that is settled in cash.

 

    - 8 -

     

    

 

(b)              
Share Counting Rules. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting,
avoid double-counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem awards or Substitute Awards) and make adjustments if the number of
shares of Stock actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with an Award. Other than
with respect to a Substitute Award, to the extent that an Award expires or is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash, or otherwise
terminated without delivery to the Participant of the full number of shares of Stock to which the Award related, the undelivered
shares of Stock will again be available for grant. Shares of Stock withheld or surrendered in payment of taxes relating to an Award
shall not be deemed to constitute shares delivered to the Participant and shall be deemed to again be available for delivery under
the Plan. Shares of Stock withheld or surrendered in payment of the exercise price relating to an Award shall be deemed to constitute
shares delivered to the Participant and shall not be deemed to again be available for delivery under the Plan.

 

(c)              
Incentive Stock Options. No more than 15,000,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section ‎10
hereof) reserved for issuance hereunder may be issued or transferred upon exercise or settlement of Incentive Stock Options.

 

(d)               Shares
Available Under Acquired Plans. To the extent permitted by NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, NASDAQ
Listing Rule 5635(c) or other applicable stock exchange rules, subject to applicable law, in the event that a company
acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by
stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to
the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or
valuation ratio of formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of
common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not
reduce the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan; provided
that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards could have been made under the terms of such
pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

 

    - 9 -

     

    

 

(e)              
Minimum Vesting. No Award may vest earlier than the first (1st) anniversary of the date of grant;
provided, however, that the foregoing minimum vesting period shall not apply (i) to a Substitute Award that does
not reduce the vesting period of the award being replaced or assumed, or (ii) to Awards involving an aggregate number of shares
of Stock not in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in connection with
Awards (as set forth in Section 4 hereof).

 

(f)               
Limitation on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum
value of any Awards granted to a non-employee director of the Company in any one calendar year, taken together with any cash fees
paid to such non-employee director during such calendar year in respect of the non-employee director’s services as a member
of the Board during such year, shall not exceed $750,000 (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair
value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes); provided, that the Committee may make exceptions to this limit,
provided that the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such
compensation.

 

5.                 
Options.

 

(a)              
General. Certain Options granted under the Plan may be intended to be Incentive Stock Options; however, no
Incentive Stock Options may be granted hereunder following the tenth (10th) anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan
is adopted by the Board and (ii) the date the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan. Options may be granted to Eligible
Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate; provided, however,
that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company or an Affiliate (as such
definition is limited pursuant to Section ‎2(o) hereof) of the Company. The provisions
of separate Options shall be set forth in separate Option Agreements, which agreements need not be identical. No dividends or dividend
equivalents shall be paid on Options.

 

(b)              
Term. The term of each Option shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; provided, however,

granted.

 

(c)              
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock for each Option shall be set by the Committee at the
time of grant and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, subject to Section ‎5(g)
hereof in the case of any Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute
Award, the exercise price per share of Stock for such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided,
that such exercise price is determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and, if applicable,
Section 424(a) of the Code.

 

(d)               Payment
for Stock. Payment for shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Option granted hereunder shall be made in full upon
exercise of the Option in a manner approved by the Committee, which may include any of the following payment methods:
(1) in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s check, (2)  by
delivery of shares of Stock having a value equal to the exercise price, (3) by a broker-assisted cashless exercise in
accordance with procedures approved by the Committee, whereby payment of the Option exercise price or tax withholding
obligations may be satisfied, in whole or in part, with shares of Stock subject to the Option by delivery of an irrevocable
direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part
of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate exercise price and, if applicable, the amount necessary to
satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations, or (4) by any other means approved by the Committee (including, by
delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall receive the number
of shares of Stock underlying the Option so exercised reduced by the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate
exercise price of the Option divided by the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise). Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if the Committee determines that any form of payment available hereunder would be in violation of
Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, such form of payment shall not be available.

of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an Option Agreement. Unless
otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of an Option shall occur only while the Participant is employed
by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason.
To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the
period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and
shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. If an Option is exercisable in installments, such installments
or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires, is canceled or otherwise terminates.

 

(f)               
Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in an Option Agreement, Participant
Agreement or otherwise:

In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date for any reason other than

vesting with respect to such Participant’s Options outstanding shall cease, (B) all of such Participant’s unvested
Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination, and (C) all
of such Participant’s vested Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of
(x) the applicable Expiration Date and (y) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of such Termination.

or indirectly within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary thereof, unless such Incentive Stock Option
(i) has an exercise price of at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant of such
Option and (ii) cannot be exercised more than five (5) years after the date it is granted.

 

(2)                       
To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Stock for which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and
its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

 

(3)                       
Each Participant who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after
the Participant makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

hereof, and except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the
rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise
set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, cash dividends and stock dividends, if any, with respect to the
Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the
same degree as the shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends relate. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.

 

(b)               Vesting
and Restrictions on Transfer. Restricted Stock shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement
of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in a Restricted Stock
Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock shall occur
only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a
Participant’s Termination for any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by
the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant
following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active
employment. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, the
Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock prior to the time

Vesting. Restricted Stock Units shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement
of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement. Unless
otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit shall occur only while the Participant
is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination
for any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended
during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement
and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment.

 

(c)               Settlement.
Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Stock, cash, or property, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
on the date or dates determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in a
Participant’s RSU Agreement, a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends, if any, or dividend equivalents with
respect to Restricted Stock Units prior to settlement.

(d)              
Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in an RSU Agreement, Participant
Agreement or otherwise, in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s
Restricted Stock Units have been settled, (1) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units
outstanding shall cease, (2) all of such Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock Units outstanding shall be forfeited
for no consideration as of the date of such Termination, and (3) any shares remaining undelivered with respect to vested Restricted
Stock Units then held by such Participant shall be delivered on the delivery date or dates specified in the RSU Agreement.

 

8.                 
Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

(a)              
General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and
conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Stock Appreciation Rights shall be set forth in
separate SAR Agreements, which agreements need not be identical. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Stock Appreciation
Rights.

 

(b)              
Term. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; provided,
however, that no Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall be exercisable after, and each Stock Appreciation Right shall
expire, ten (10) years from the date it was granted.

 

(c)              
Base Price. The base price per share of Stock for each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee
at the time of grant and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the base price per share of Stock for such Stock Appreciation Right
may be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that such base price is determined in a manner consistent
with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(d)              
Vesting. Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest and become exercisable in such manner, on such date or dates,
or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in
a SAR Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of a Stock Appreciation Right shall occur
only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s
Termination for any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting
shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has
a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. If a Stock Appreciation Right
is exercisable in installments, such installments or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the
Stock Appreciation Right expires, is canceled or otherwise terminates.

 

(e)               Payment
upon Exercise. Payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash, Stock, or property as specified
in the SAR Agreement or determined by the Committee, in each case having a value in respect of each share of Stock underlying
the portion of the Stock Appreciation Right so exercised, equal to the difference between the base price of such Stock
Appreciation Right and the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date. For purposes of clarity, each
share of Stock to be issued in settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right is deemed to have a value equal to the Fair Market
Value of one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date. In no event shall fractional shares be issuable upon the exercise of a
Stock Appreciation Right, and in the event that fractional shares would otherwise be issuable, the number of shares issuable
will be rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares, and the Participant will be entitled to receive a cash payment
equal to the value of such fractional share.

(f)               
Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a SAR Agreement, Participant
Agreement or otherwise:

 

(1)                       
In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date for any reason other than
(i) by the Service Recipient for Cause, or (ii) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, (A) all
vesting with respect to such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall cease, (B) all of such Participant’s
unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination,
and (C) all of such Participant’s vested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for
no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date and (y) the date that is ninety (90) days after
the date of such Termination.

 

(2)                       
In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by reason of such Participant’s
death or Disability, (i) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall
cease, (ii) all of such Participant’s unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited
for no consideration as of the date of such Termination, and (iii) all of such Participant’s vested Stock Appreciation
Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date
and (y) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such Termination. In the event of a Participant’s death,
such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights shall remain exercisable by the Person or Persons to whom such Participant’s
rights under the Stock Appreciation Rights pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution until the applicable
Expiration Date, but only to the extent that the Stock Appreciation Rights were vested at the time of such Termination.

 

(3)                       
In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by the Service Recipient
for Cause, all of such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate
and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.

 

9.                 
Other Stock-Based Awards.

 

The Committee is
authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated
or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to Stock, as deemed by the
Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may also grant Stock as a bonus (whether or not
subject to any vesting requirements or other restrictions on transfer), and may grant other Awards in lieu of obligations of
the Company or an Affiliate to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory
arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions applicable to such
Awards shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced by Award Agreements, which agreements need not be identical.

10.             
Adjustment for Recapitalization, Merger, etc.

 

(a)              
Capitalization Adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in connection with
Awards (as set forth in Section ‎4 hereof), the numerical share limits in Section ‎4(a)
hereof, the number of shares of Stock covered by each outstanding Award, and the price per share of Stock underlying each such
Award shall be equitably and proportionally adjusted or substituted, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as
to the number, price, or kind of a share of Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards (1) in the event of changes
in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock dividends, extraordinary cash dividends,
stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, combinations, exchanges,
or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date of grant of any such Award (including any Corporate Event);
(2) in connection with any extraordinary dividend declared and paid in respect of shares of Stock, whether payable in the
form of cash, stock, or any other form of consideration; or (3) in the event of any change in applicable laws or circumstances
that results in or could result in, in either case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any substantial dilution
or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, Participants in the Plan. In lieu of or in addition to
any adjustment pursuant to this Section ‎10, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may
provide that an adjustment take the form of a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award with respect to all or part of
an outstanding Award, which payment shall be subject to such terms and conditions (including timing of payment(s), vesting and
forfeiture conditions) as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The Committee will make such adjustments, substitutions
or payment, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive. The Committee need not take the same action or actions
with respect to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Committee may take different actions with
respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award.

 

(b)              
Corporate Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement,
Participant Agreement or otherwise, in connection with (i) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company
in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, (ii) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company
in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation
or other property or cash, (iii) a Change in Control, or (iv) the reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company
(each, a “Corporate Event”), the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following:

 

(1)                       
 The assumption or substitution of any or all Awards in connection with such Corporate Event, in which case the Awards
shall be subject to the adjustment set forth in Section 10(a) hereof, and to the extent that such Awards vest subject to the achievement
of performance criteria, such performance criteria shall be deemed earned at target level (or if no target is specified, the maximum
level) and will be converted into solely service based vesting awards that will vest during the performance period, if any, during
which the original performance criteria would have been measured;

 

(2)                       
The acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event,
subject to the consummation of such Corporate Event; provided that unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, any
Awards that vest subject to the achievement of performance criteria will be deemed earned at target level (or if no target is specified,
the maximum level), provided further that a Participant has not experienced a Termination prior to such Corporate Event;

 

(3)                       
The cancellation of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event (whether
vested or unvested) as of the consummation of such Corporate Event, together with the payment to the Participants holding vested
Awards (including any Awards that would vest upon the Corporate Event but for such cancellation) so canceled of an amount in respect
of cancellation equal to an amount based upon the per-share consideration being paid for the Stock in connection with such Corporate
Event, less, in the case of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise, the applicable exercise or
base price; provided, however, that holders of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise
shall be entitled to consideration in respect of cancellation of such Awards only if the per-share consideration less the applicable
exercise or base price is greater than zero dollars ($0), and to the extent that the per-share consideration is less than or equal
to the applicable exercise or base price, such Awards shall be canceled for no consideration;

 

    - 16 -

     

    

 

(4)                       
The cancellation of any or all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards subject to exercise not assumed
or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event (whether vested or unvested) as of the consummation of such Corporate Event;
provided that all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards to be so canceled pursuant to this paragraph ‎(4)
shall first become exercisable for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to such Corporate Event, with any exercise during such
period of any unvested Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or other Awards to be (A) contingent upon and subject to the occurrence
of the Corporate Event, and (B) effectuated by such means as are approved by the Committee; and

 

(5)                       
The replacement of any or all Awards (other than Awards that are intended to qualify as “stock rights”
that do not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) with a cash
incentive program that preserves the value of the Awards so replaced (determined as of the consummation of the Corporate Event),
with subsequent payment of cash incentives subject to the same vesting conditions as applicable to the Awards so replaced and payment
to be made within thirty (30) days of the applicable vesting date.

 

Payments to holders pursuant to paragraph ‎(3)
above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, and to the extent applicable, in the form of such other
consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or a combination thereof) as such Participant
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately prior to such
transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable exercise or base
price). In addition, in connection with any Corporate Event, prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this Section ‎10(b),
the Committee may require a Participant to (A) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title to his or her Awards, (B) bear
such Participant’s pro-rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase
price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions as the other holders of Stock, and (C) deliver
customary transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee. The Committee need not take the same action or actions
with respect to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Committee may take different actions with
respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award.

 

(c)              
Fractional Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section ‎10
may, in the Committee’s discretion, provide for the elimination of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject
to an Award. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares so eliminated.

 

(d)              
Double-Trigger Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, an Award Agreement or Participant
Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Award that is assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, the
vesting, payment, purchase or distribution of such Award may not be accelerated by reason of the Change in Control for any Participant
unless the Participant experiences an involuntary Termination as a result of the Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided for
in an Award Agreement or Participant Agreement, all Awards held by a Participant who experiences an involuntary Termination as
a result of a Change in Control shall immediately vest as of the date of such Termination. For purposes of this Section ‎10(d),
a Participant will be deemed to experience an involuntary Termination as a result of a Change in Control if the Participant experiences
a Termination by the Service Recipient other than for Cause, or otherwise experiences a Termination under circumstances which entitle
the Participant to mandatory severance payment(s) pursuant to applicable law or, in the case of a non-employee director of the
Company, if the non-employee director’s service on the Board terminates in connection with or as a result of a Change in
Control, in each case, at any time beginning on the date of the Change in Control up to and including the second (2nd)
anniversary of the Change in Control.

 

11.             
Use of Proceeds.

 

The proceeds received
from the sale of Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

 

    - 17 -

     

    

 

12.             
 Rights and Privileges as a Stockholder.

 

Except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan, no Person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of Stock ownership in respect of shares of Stock
that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that Person.

 

13.             
Transferability of Awards.

 

Awards may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent
and distribution, and to the extent subject to exercise, Awards may not be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee other than
by the grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Awards and a Participant’s
rights under the Plan shall be transferable for no value to the extent provided in an Award Agreement or otherwise determined at
any time by the Committee.

 

14.             
Employment or Service Rights.

 

No individual shall have
any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for
the grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any right
to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

 

15.             
Compliance with Laws.

 

The obligation of the
Company to deliver Stock upon issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award shall be subject to all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions
of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from
offering to sell or selling, any shares of Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act (or with a similar non-U.S. regulatory
agency pursuant to a similar law or regulation) or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company,
that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and
conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale or resale
under the Securities Act any of the shares of Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan or any shares of Stock to be issued upon
exercise or settlement of Awards. If the shares of Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to
an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares and may legend the
Stock certificates representing such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

 

16.             
Withholding Obligations.

 

As a condition to
the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award (or upon the making of an election under Section 83(b) of
the Code), the Committee may require that a Participant satisfy, through deduction or withholding from any payment of any
kind otherwise due to the Participant, or through such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Committee, the amount of
all federal, state, and local income and other taxes of any kind required or permitted to be withheld in connection with such
issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement (or election). The Committee, in its discretion, may permit shares of Stock to be
used to satisfy tax withholding requirements, and such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the issuance,
vesting, exercise, or settlement date of the Award, as applicable. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may
withhold by considering the applicable minimum statutorily required withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates
in the applicable Participant’s jurisdiction, including maximum applicable rates that may be utilized without creating
adverse accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or
any successor pronouncement thereto) and is permitted under applicable withholding rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue
Service or another applicable governmental entity.

17.             
Amendment of the Plan or Awards.

 

(a)              
Amendment of Plan. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time.

 

(b)              
Amendment of Awards. The Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any one or more Awards at any time
and from time to time.

 

(c)              
Stockholder Approval; No Material Impairment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment
to the Plan or any Award shall be effective without stockholder approval to the extent that such approval is required pursuant
to applicable law or the applicable rules of each national securities exchange on which the Stock is listed. Additionally, no amendment
to the Plan or any Award shall materially impair a Participant’s rights under any Award unless the Participant consents in
writing (it being understood that no action taken by the Board or the Committee that is expressly permitted under the Plan, including,
without limitation, any actions described in Section ‎10 hereof, shall constitute
an amendment to the Plan or an Award for such purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of applicable
law, if any, and without an affected Participant’s consent, the Board or the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan or
any one or more Awards from time to time as necessary to bring such Awards into compliance with applicable law, including, without
limitation, Section 409A of the Code.

 

(d)              
No Repricing of Awards Without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding Sections ‎17(a)
or ‎17(b) above, or any other provision of the Plan, the repricing of Awards shall not
be permitted without stockholder approval. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any
other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (1) changing the terms of an Award to lower its exercise or
base price (other than on account of capital adjustments resulting from share splits, etc., as described in Section ‎10(a)
hereof), (2) any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP, and (3) repurchasing for cash or canceling an
Award in exchange for another Award at a time when its exercise or base price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying
Stock, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section ‎10(b)
hereof.

 

18.             
 Termination or Suspension of the Plan.

 

The Board or the Committee
may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the date the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan
is suspended or after it is terminated; provided, however, that following any suspension or termination of the Plan, the
Plan shall remain in effect for the purpose of governing all Awards then outstanding hereunder until such time as all Awards under
the Plan have been terminated, forfeited, or otherwise canceled, or earned, exercised, settled, or otherwise paid out, in accordance
with their terms.

 

19.             
Effective Date of the Plan.

 

The Plan is effective
as of the Effective Date, subject to stockholder approval.

20.             
Miscellaneous.

 

(a)              
Treatment of Dividends and Dividend Equivalents on Unvested Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that provides for or includes a right to dividends or dividend equivalents,
if dividends are declared during the period that an equity Award is outstanding, such dividends (or dividend equivalents) shall
either (i) not be paid or credited with respect to such Award or (ii) be accumulated but remain subject to vesting requirement(s)
to the same extent as the applicable Award and shall only be paid at the time or times such vesting requirement(s) are satisfied.
Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.
No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

(b)              
Certificates. Stock acquired pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as
the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee
may require that (1) such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable
to such Stock, (2) the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and (3) the Participant deliver a stock
power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in
its sole discretion, that the Stock shall be held in book-entry form rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release
of any applicable restrictions.

 

(c)              
Other Benefits. No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or
subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation.

 

(d)               Corporate
Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant
will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, regardless of
when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the
Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Committee consents, resolutions or minutes)
documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or
number of shares of Stock) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement as a result of a clerical error in
connection with the preparation of the Award Agreement, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no
legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement.

 

(e)              
Clawback/Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Awards granted
under the Plan shall be and remain subject to any incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as
may be adopted by the Board (or a committee or subcommittee of the Board) and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time.
No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant. No recovery of compensation
under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive
termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. In the event that an Award
is subject to more than one such policy, the policy with the most restrictive clawback or recoupment provisions shall govern such
Award, subject to applicable law.

 

    - 20 -

     

    

 

(f)               
Non-Exempt Employees. If an Option is granted to an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the
United States who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Option will not
be first exercisable for any shares of Stock until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of the Option (although
the Option may vest prior to such date). Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, (1) if such
employee dies or suffers a Disability, (2) upon a Corporate Event in which such Option is not assumed, continued, or substituted,
(3) upon a Change in Control, or (4) upon the Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the applicable
Award Agreement or a Participant Agreement, or, if no such definition exists, in accordance with the Company’s then current
employment policies and guidelines), the vested portion of any Options held by such employee may be exercised earlier than six (6)
months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee
in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted
and/or required for compliance with the Worker Economic Opportunity Act to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt employee
in connection with the exercise, vesting or issuance of any shares under any other Award will be exempt from such employee’s
regular rate of pay, the provisions of this Section ‎20(f)will apply to all Awards.

 

(g)               Data
Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the
collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 20(g) by and
among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing
the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. In furtherance of such implementation,
administration, and management, the Company and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant,
including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security
or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), information regarding any securities
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the “Data”). In addition to
transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration, and management of
the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Company and its Affiliates may each transfer
the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and
Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the
Participant’s country or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country and any given recipient’s country may
have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to
receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of assisting the Company
in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the
Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company
or the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as
is necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
A Participant may, at any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Participant, request additional
information about the storage and processing of the Data with respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary
corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case
without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company may cancel the Participant’s
eligibility to participate in the Plan, and in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding
Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents described herein. For more information on the consequences of
refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

 

(h)              
Participants Outside of the United States. The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan
made to or held by a Participant who is then a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, outside of the United
States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations,
and customs of the country in which the Participant is then a resident or primarily employed or providing services, or so that
the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by non–U.S. tax laws and other restrictions applicable
as a result of the Participant’s residence, employment, or providing services abroad, shall be comparable to the value of
such Award to a Participant who is a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, in the United States. An Award may
be modified under this Section ‎20(h) in a manner that is inconsistent with the
express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual
liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified. Additionally, the Committee
may adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Persons
who are non–U.S. nationals or are primarily employed or providing services outside the United States.

(i)                 Change
in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her
services for the Company or any of its Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an
employee of the Company and the employee has a change in status from a full-time employee to a part-time employee) after the
date of grant of any Award to the Participant, the Committee has the right in its sole discretion to (i) make a
corresponding reduction in the number of shares of Stock subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or
become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a
reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the
Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced or extended.

 

(j)                
No Liability of Committee Members. Neither any member of the Committee nor any of the Committee’s permitted
delegates shall be liable personally by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her behalf
in his or her capacity as a member of the Committee or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any duty or
power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and expenses
(including counsel fees) and liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act
in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such Person’s own fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however,
that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such Person. The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Persons may be entitled
under the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, each as may be amended from time to time, as a matter
of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 

(k)              
Payments Following Accidents or Illness. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is
payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then
any payment due to such Person or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative)
may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having
custody of such Person, or any other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such Person otherwise
entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

 

(l)                
Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of Delaware
without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

 

(m)            
Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document or “writing”
will include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic
medium controlled or authorized by the Company to which the Participant has access) to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(n)               Arbitration.
All disputes and claims of any nature that a Participant (or such Participant’s transferee or estate) may have against
the Company arising out of or in any way related to the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted to and resolved
exclusively by binding arbitration conducted in [●] (or such other location as the parties thereto may agree) in
accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, and the arbitration shall be
heard and determined by a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with such rules (except that in the event of any
inconsistency between such rules and this Section ‎20(n), the provisions of
this Section ‎20(n) shall control). The arbitration panel may not modify the
arbitration rules specified above without the prior written approval of all parties to the arbitration. Within ten business
days after the receipt of a written demand, each party shall designate one arbitrator, each of whom shall have experience
involving complex business or legal matters, but shall not have any prior, existing or potential material business
relationship with any party to the arbitration. The two arbitrators so designated shall select a third arbitrator, who shall
preside over the arbitration, shall be similarly qualified as the two arbitrators and shall have no prior, existing or
potential material business relationship with any party to the arbitration; provided that if the two arbitrators are
unable to agree upon the selection of such third arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be designated in accordance with the
arbitration rules referred to above. The arbitrators will decide the dispute by majority decision, and the decision shall be
rendered in writing and shall bear the signatures of the arbitrators and the party or parties who shall be charged therewith,
or the allocation of the expenses among the parties in the discretion of the panel. The arbitration decision shall be
rendered as soon as possible, but in any event not later than 120 days after the constitution of the arbitration panel. The
arbitration decision shall be final and binding upon all parties to the arbitration. The parties hereto agree that judgment
upon any award rendered by the arbitration panel may be entered in the United States District Court for the [●]
District of [●] or any court sitting in [●]. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties hereby
irrevocably waive any right of appeal from any judgment rendered upon any such arbitration award in any such court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may seek injunctive relief in any such court.

 

(o)              
Statute of Limitations. A Participant or any other person filing a claim for benefits under the Plan must
file the claim within one (1) year of the date the Participant or other person knew or should have known of the facts giving
rise to the claim. This one-year statute of limitations will apply in any forum where a Participant or any other person may file
a claim and, unless the Company waives the time limits set forth above in its sole discretion, any claim not brought within the
time periods specified shall be waived and forever barred.

 

(p)              
Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations
under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise
to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company be required to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence
of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights
under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to
payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees and service providers
under general law.

 

(q)              
Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in
relying, acting, or failing to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted, or failed to act in good faith, upon any
report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished in
connection with the Plan by any Person or Persons other than such member.

(r)               
 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference
only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
