Exercise Price is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date and the Option
is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date.
6.
Option Provisions. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted
shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be
reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock
Options at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person
if an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include
(through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:
6.1
Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall
be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date. The term of a Non-Qualified Stock Option granted under the
Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration
of ten (10) years from the Grant Date.
6.2
Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Stockholders,
the Option Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with
an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution
for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.
6.3
Exercise Price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Option Exercise Price of each Non-Qualified Stock Option shall
be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence
if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section
409A of the Code.
6.4
Consideration. The Option Exercise Price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent
permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised
or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve, including: (i) by delivery to
the Company of other Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to
the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired, or by means of attestation whereby the Participant
identifies for delivery specific shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of attestation equal to the
Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) and receives a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number
of shares thereby purchased and the number of identified attestation shares of Common Stock (a “Stock for Stock Exchange”);
(ii) a “cashless” exercise program established with a broker; (iii) by reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise
deliverable upon exercise of such Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Exercise Price at the time of exercise;
(iv) by any combination of the foregoing methods; or (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee.
Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the exercise price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by
delivery (or attestation) to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by
shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required
to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an exercise by a Director or Officer
that involves or may involve a direct or indirect extension of credit or arrangement of an extension of credit by the Company, directly
or indirectly, in violation of Section 402(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall be prohibited with respect to any Award under this
Plan.
6.5
Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,
designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.
6.6
Transferability of a Non-Qualified Stock Option. A Non-Qualified Stock Option may, in the sole discretion of the
Committee, be transferable to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval by the Committee to the extent provided in the Award Agreement.
If the Non-Qualified Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be transferable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the
Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory
to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the
Option.
6.7
Vesting of Options. Each Option may, but need not, vest
and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms
and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Committee may
deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common
Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any
Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.
6.8
Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment or service
agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Committee, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other
than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder
was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a)
the date which is ninety (90) days following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service or (b) the expiration of the
term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, if the termination of Continuous Service is by the Company
for Cause, all outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable. If, after termination,
the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.
6.9
Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder’s Award Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the
Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for any reason would be prohibited at any time because
the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or any other state or federal
securities law or the rules of any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier
of (a) the expiration of the term of the Option in accordance with Section 6.1. or (b) the expiration of a period after termination of
the Participant’s Continuous Service that is ninety (90) days after the end of the period during which the exercise of the Option
would be in violation of such registration or other securities law requirements.
6.10
Disability of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder’s
Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to
the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time
ending on the earlier of (a) the date twelve (12) months following such termination or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as
set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified
herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.
6.11
Death of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous
Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was
entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise
the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder’s death, but only within
the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date twelve (12) months following the date of death or (b) the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Optionholder’s death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified
herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.
6.12
Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during
any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Options or
portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
7.
Stock Appreciation Rights. Each
Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right so granted shall
be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected
in the applicable Award Agreement. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in tandem
with an Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”).
7.1
Grant Requirements for Related Rights. Any Related Right that relates to a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be granted
at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter, but before the exercise or expiration of the Option. Any Related Right
that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted.
7.2
Term. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under
the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date.
7.3
Vesting. Each Stock Appreciation Right may, but need not,
vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Stock Appreciation Right may be subject
to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions
of individual Stock Appreciation Rights may vary. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock.
The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Stock Appreciation
Right upon the occurrence of a specified event.
7.4
Exercise and Payment. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right, the holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
Stock Appreciation Right that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the exercise price specified in the Stock Appreciation Right or related Option. Payment with respect
to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be made on the date of exercise. Payment shall be made in the form of shares of Common
Stock (with or without restrictions as to substantial risk of forfeiture and transferability, as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion), cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.
7.5
Exercise Price The exercise price of a Free Standing Right
shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one (1) share
of Common Stock on the Grant Date of such Stock Appreciation Right. A Related Right granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant
of an Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related Option, shall
be transferable only upon the same terms and conditions as the related Option, and shall be exercisable only to the same extent as the
related Option; provided, however, that a Stock Appreciation Right, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right and related Option exceeds the exercise price per share thereof
and no Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with an Option unless the Committee determines that the requirements of Section
7.1 are satisfied.
7.6
Reduction in the Underlying Option Shares. Upon any exercise
of a Related Right, the number of shares of Common Stock for which any related Option shall be exercisable shall be reduced by the number
of shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Related Right shall
be exercisable shall be reduced upon any exercise of any related Option by the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Option
has been exercised.
8.
Restricted Awards.
A Restricted Award is an Award of actual shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or hypothetical Common Stock units
(“Restricted Stock Units”) having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common
Stock, which may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged,
or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period
(the “Restricted Period”) as the Committee shall determine. Each Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced
by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.
8.1
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
(a)
Each Participant granted Restricted Stock shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with respect to the Restricted
Stock setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock. If a Participant fails to execute
an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award,
the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote
such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends; provided that, any cash dividends and stock dividends with respect to
the Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and interest may be credited on the amount
of the cash dividends withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. The cash dividends or stock dividends
so withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall
be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value
equal to the amount of such dividends, if applicable, upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited,
the Participant shall have no right to such dividends.
(b)
The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No shares of Common Stock
shall be issued at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside funds for the payment
of any such Award. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder. The Committee
may also grant Restricted Stock Units with a deferral feature, whereby settlement is deferred beyond the vesting date until the occurrence
of a future payment date or event set forth in an Award Agreement (“Deferred Stock Units”). At the discretion of the Committee, each
Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (representing one (1) share of Common Stock) may be credited with an amount equal to the
cash and stock dividends paid by the Company in respect of one share of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend
Equivalents shall be withheld by the Company and credited to the Participant’s account, and interest may be credited on the amount
of cash Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee.
Dividend Equivalents credited to a Participant’s account and attributable to any particular Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock
Unit (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock
having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such Dividend Equivalents and earnings, if applicable, to the Participant upon settlement
of such Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit and, if such Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit is forfeited, the Participant
shall have no right to such Dividend Equivalents.
8.2
Restrictions.
(a)
Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted
Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement: (i) the shares shall be subject
to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (ii) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent
provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (iii) to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall be returned
to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect to such shares shall terminate without
further obligation on the part of the Company.
(b)
Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to (i) forfeiture until the expiration
of the Restricted Period, and satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals during such period, to the extent provided in the applicable
Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to
such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (ii) such
other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
(c)
The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units,
and Deferred Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising
after the date the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Deferred Stock Units are granted, such action is appropriate.
8.3
Restricted Period. With respect to Restricted Awards, the
Restricted Period shall commence on the Grant Date and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in
the applicable Award Agreement. No Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee
may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a
specified event.
8.4
Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units
Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in Section 8.2
and the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable
Award Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, or at the expiration
of the deferral period with respect to any outstanding Deferred Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her
beneficiary, without charge, one share of Common Stock for each such outstanding vested Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (“Vested
Unit”) and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to each such Vested Unit in accordance with Section
8.1(b) hereof and the interest thereon or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal
to such Dividend Equivalents and the interest thereon, if any; provided, however, that, if explicitly provided in the applicable
Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering
only shares of Common Stock for Vested Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the amount of such
payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed in the case of
Restricted Stock Units, or the delivery date in the case of Deferred Stock Units, with respect to each Vested Unit.
8.5
Stock Restrictions. Each certificate representing Restricted
Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate.
9.
Performance Share Awards Each Performance
Share Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Performance Share Award so granted shall be subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the
applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or stock-denominated
units subject to a Performance Share Award granted to
any Participant; (ii) the Performance Period applicable to any Award; (iii) the Performance Goals that must be satisfied for a Participant
to earn an Award; and (iv) the other terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Award.
9.1
Earning Performance Share Awards. The number of Performance
Shares earned by a Participant will depend on the extent to which the Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within
the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the Committee.
10.
Other Equity-Based Awards. The Committee may grant Other Equity-Based
Awards, either alone or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts and subject to such conditions as the Committee shall determine in
its sole discretion. Each Equity-Based Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and shall be subject to such conditions, not inconsistent
with the Plan, as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.
11.
Securities Law Compliance. Each Award Agreement shall provide
that no shares of Common Stock shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until (a) any then applicable requirements of state or
federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel and (b) if required
to do so by the Company, the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing
such provisions as the Committee may require. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain from each regulatory commission
or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities
Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is
unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful
issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common
Stock upon exercise of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.
12.
Use of Proceeds from Stock. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant
to Awards, or upon exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company.
13.
Miscellaneous.
13.1
Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee
shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will
vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the
time during which it will vest.
13.2
Stockholder Rights. Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the
holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until
such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date
is prior to the date such Common Stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 14 hereof.
13.3
No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto
shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the
Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without
notice and with or without Cause or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the bylaws of the Company, and any applicable provisions
of Nevada corporate law.
13.4
Transfer; Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall
be deemed to result from either (a) the transfer of employment to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or
from one (1) Affiliate to another, or (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved
by the Company, if the Employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant
to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent
with Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto.
13.5
Withholding Obligations. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it
may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by such methods as
the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable
shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or such greater amount as the Committee
may determine if such amount would not have adverse accounting consequences, as the Committee determines in its sole discretion, (c) delivering
to the Company already-owned shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld
or such greater amount as the Committee may determine, in each case, provided the delivery of such shares will not result in any adverse
accounting consequences, as the Committee determines in its sole discretion, (iv) selling a sufficient number of shares otherwise deliverable
to the Participant through such means as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal
to the amount required to be withheld, (v) such other consideration and method of payment for the meeting of tax withholding obligations
as the Committee may determine to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
The amount of the withholding obligation will be deemed to include any amount which the Committee agrees may be withheld at the time the
election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state, or local marginal income tax rates applicable
to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined or such greater amount
as the Committee may determine if such amount would not have adverse accounting consequences, as the Committee determines in its sole
discretion. The Fair Market Value of the shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required
to be withheld.
14.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock. In the event of changes in the outstanding
Common Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange,
or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements,
the exercise price of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Performance Goals to which Performance Share Awards and Cash Awards are
subject, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Awards stated in Section 4 (i.e., the Total Share Reserve and ISO
Limit) will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject
to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this
Section 14, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company, the Committee shall,
in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 14 will not constitute a modification, extension
or renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options,
ensure that any adjustments under this Section 14 will not constitute a modification of such Non-Qualified Stock Options within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code. Any adjustments made under this Section 14 shall be made in a manner which does not adversely affect the
exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder
and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
15.
Effect of Change in Control.
15.1
Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary:
(a)
In the event of a Participant’s termination of Continuous Service without Cause or for Good Reason during the twelve (12)
month period following a Change in Control, all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable
with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and/or the Restricted Period
shall expire immediately with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service.
(b)
With respect to Performance Share Awards and Cash Awards, in the event of a Change in Control, all incomplete Performance Periods
in respect of such Awards in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end on the date of such change and the Committee shall
(i) determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Performance Period have been met based upon such audited
or unaudited financial information then available as it deems relevant and (ii) cause to be paid to the applicable Participant partial
or full Awards with respect to Performance Goals for each such Performance Period based upon the Committee’s determination of the
degree of attainment of Performance Goals or, if not determinable, assuming that the applicable “target” levels of performance
have been attained, or on such other basis determined by the Committee.
15.2
In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may in its discretion and upon at least ten (10) days’ advance
notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof,
the value of such Awards based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company
in the event over the aggregate exercise price or strike price thereof. In the case of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an
exercise price or strike price that equals or exceeds the price paid for a share of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control,
the Committee may cancel the Option or Stock Appreciation Right without the payment of consideration therefor.
15.3
The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all
of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.
16.
Amendment of the Plan and Awards.
16.1
Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time
to time, may amend, in whole or in part, any or all provisions of the Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the
Company may comply with any regulatory requirements referred to in Section 422 or Section 409A of the Code), or suspend or terminate it
entirely; provided, however, that (except as provided in Section 14 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock
and Section 16.3) without the approval of the Company’s stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with Applicable Laws, no amendment
may be made that would (a) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan, (b) change the classification
of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, (c) decrease the minimum Option price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right,
(d) extend the maximum Option exercise period, (e) alter the Performance Goals for Restricted Stock, Performance Share Awards or Other
Stock-Based Awards, (f) award any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in replacement of a canceled Option or Stock Appreciation Right with
a higher exercise price than the replacement award, or (g) in no event may the Plan be amended without the approval of the stockholders
of the Company in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may
be issued under the Plan, decrease the minimum exercise price of any Award, or to make any other amendment that would require stockholder
approval under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) rules and regulations or the rules of any exchange or system
on which the Company’s securities are listed or traded at the request of the Company. At the
time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent on stockholder
approval.
16.2
Stockholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder
approval.
16.3
Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board
deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Consultants and Directors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided
under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified
deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.
16.4
No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any
amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.
16.5
Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards;
provided, however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the rights
under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing; provided,
further, however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would otherwise constitute a repricing without stockholder
approval.
17.
General Provisions.
17.1
Forfeiture Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments,
and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain
events, in addition to applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of non-competition,
non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise applicable to
the Participant, a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental
to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates.
17.2
Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, the Company may cancel any Award, require reimbursement
of any Award by a Participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance
with any Company policies that may be adopted and/or modified from time to time or Applicable Laws (“Clawback Policy”).
In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan
or an Award Agreement, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, the Participant is agreeing to be bound by the Clawback
Policy, as in effect or as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including, without limitation,
to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements).
17.3
Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval
is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
17.4
Sub-Plans. The Committee may from time to time establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying securities,
tax or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations
and other terms and conditions as the Committee determines are necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan,
but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.
17.5
Deferral of Awards. The Committee may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants
the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event
that absent the election would entitle the Participant to payment or receipt of shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an
Award. The Committee may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual
of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules
and procedures that the Committee deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.
17.6
Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to
establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.
17.7
Recapitalizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 14.
17.8
Delivery. Upon exercise of a right granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Common Stock or pay any amounts
due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have,
for purposes of this Plan, thirty (30) days shall be considered a reasonable period of time.
17.9
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The
Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional
shares of Common Stock or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
17.10
Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent
with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable.
17.11
Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly,
to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described
in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated
as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent
required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits
that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination
of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation
from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall
have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A
of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.
17.12
Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section 424
of the Code) of all or any portion of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two (2) years
from the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the issuance of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise
of such Incentive Stock Option (a “Disqualifying Disposition”) shall be required to immediately advise the Company
in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such shares of Common Stock.
17.13
Section 16. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies,
the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participants will be entitled to
the benefit of Rule 16b-3, or any other rule promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subject to short-swing
liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, if the operation of any provision of the Plan would conflict with the intent
expressed in this Section 17.13, such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such
conflict.
17.14
Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries
by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant’s
death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee
and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.
17.15
Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.
17.16
Severability. If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.
17.17
Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit
the construction of the provisions hereof.
17.18
Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively
among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually receive, Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee
shall be entitled to make non-uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective
Award Agreements.
18.
Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of
the Effective Date, provided that no Incentive Stock Option may be granted unless and until (i) the Plan is approved by shareholders of
the Company and (ii) such approval by shareholders of the Company is received within 12 months of the Effective Date.
19.
Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically
on the Tenth (10th) Anniversary of Effective Date. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after such date, but Awards theretofore
granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof.
No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.
20.
Choice of Law. The law of the State
of Nevada shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s
conflict of law rules.
21.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. COMPANY AND EACH PARTICIPANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT THAT
ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY
COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR COMPANY ENTERING INTO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS PLAN.
22.
Attorneys’ Costs and Fees. The prevailing party in any legal proceeding arising out of or resulting from this
Plan shall be entitled to recover its costs and fees, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and post judgment
costs, from the other party.
As adopted by the Board of
Directors of Bespoke Extracts, Inc. on December 14, 2021.
