Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware. Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware GCL”),
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was the Registrant’s director, officer, employee
or agent, or is or was serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted
in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Company’s best interests, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
In addition, the Delaware
GCL also provides that the Company also may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the Company’s right to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was the Company’s director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at the Company’s
request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the Company’s best interests. However, in such an action by or on the Company’s behalf, no indemnification
may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person is adjudged liable to the Company unless and only to
the extent that the court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances, the person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
The Company’s
certificate of incorporation is consistent with the Delaware GCL. Each of the Company’s directors, officers, employees and
agents will be indemnified to the extent permitted by the Delaware GCL. The Company also maintains insurance on behalf of its directors
and officers against liabilities asserted against such persons and incurred by such persons in such capacities, whether or not
the Company would have the power to indemnify such persons under the Delaware GCL.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
A list of exhibits
filed herewith or incorporated by reference is contained in the Exhibit Index immediately following the signature pages and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The Company hereby
undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) of this section shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The Company hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company’s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Buena, State of New Jersey, on August 26, 2020.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel
to Teligent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration
Statement”), pursuant to which the Company is registering the issuance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of a total of 4,609,830 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), consisting
of (i) 4,400,000 shares (the “Equity Plan Shares”) issued or issuable pursuant to the Teligent, Inc. 2016 Equity
Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Plan”), (ii) 150,000 shares issuable upon exercise of a non-qualified stock
option granted to Timothy B. Sawyer, Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant, on February 4, 2020 (the “Sawyer Inducement
Shares”), pursuant to the terms of a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement
by and between the Registrant and Mr. Sawyer as an inducement material to his entering into employment with the Registrant
(the “Sawyer Option Agreement”) (iii) 36,325 shares issuable upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option
granted to Philip Yachmetz, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Registrant, on July 16, 2020 (the “Yachmetz
Option Inducement Shares”) pursuant to the terms of a Non-Qualified Stock
Option Agreement by and between the Registrant and Mr. Yachmetz as an inducement material to his entering into employment with
the Registrant (the “Yachmetz Option Agreement”) and (iv) 23,505
shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units granted to Philip Yachmetz, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary
of the Registrant, on July 16, 2020 (the “Yachmetz RSU Inducement Shares”) pursuant
to the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement by and between the Registrant and Mr. Yachmetz as an inducement material
to his entering into employment with the Registrant (the “Yachmetz RSU Agreement”). This opinion is being
rendered in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.
In connection with
this opinion, we have examined the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, both
as currently in effect; such other records of the corporate proceedings of the Company and certificates of the Company’s
officers as we have deemed relevant; and the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto.
In our examination,
we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and
the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In addition, we have assumed that the Company will receive any required consideration
in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Sawyer Option Agreement, the Yachmetz Option Agreement and the Yachmetz RSU Agreement,
as applicable.
Based upon the foregoing,
we are of the opinion that (i) the Equity Plan Shares have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and, when issued and
delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock, (ii) the Sawyer Inducement Shares have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and, when issued and delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Sawyer Option Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares
of Common Stock, (iii) the Yachmetz Option Inducement Shares have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and, when issued
and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Yachmetz Option Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock and (iv) the Yachmetz RSU Inducement Shares have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and, when
issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Yachmetz RSU Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock

Our opinion is limited
to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the United States federal law, and we express no opinion with respect
to the laws of any other jurisdiction. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the qualification of the Shares under the
securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction.
We have relied as to
certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company, and other sources believed by us to be
responsible.
Please note that we
are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This
opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and we disclaim any obligation to
advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters
or opinions set forth herein.
We understand that
you wish to file this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements
of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, and we hereby consent thereto. In giving this consent,
we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Option Grant Notice, on the terms and conditions and subject to all the limitations set forth herein and under United States securities
and tax laws.
3. EXERCISE
PRICE.
The exercise price of
the Shares covered by the Option shall be the amount per Share set forth in the Stock Option Grant Notice, subject to adjustment,
as provided in Section 10, in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split or other events affecting the holders of Shares
after the date hereof (the “Exercise Price”). Payment shall be made in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.
4. EXERCISABILITY
OF OPTION.
Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Option granted hereby shall become vested and exercisable as set forth in the Stock
Option Grant Notice and is subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition to the schedule upon which
the Option shall become vested and exercisable as set forth in the Stock Option Grant Notice, if the Participant’s employment
is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, then (i) the number of Shares subject to
the Option, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Vesting Start Date to the
date Participant’s employment is terminated and the denominator of which is 1,460, shall become vested and exercisable as
of the date of such termination. In addition, immediately prior to a Change in Control, the Option will become immediately vested
and exercisable in full.
5. TERM
OF OPTION.
This Option shall terminate
on the Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice, but shall be subject to earlier termination as provided
herein.
If the Participant ceases
to be an Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate for any reason other than the death or Disability of the Participant, or termination
of the Participant for Cause (the “Termination Date”), the Option to the extent then vested and exercisable pursuant
to Section 4 hereof (including any accelerated vested under Section 4) as of the Termination Date, and not previously
terminated in accordance with this Agreement, may be exercised within three months after the Termination Date, or on or prior to
the Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice, whichever is earlier, but may not be exercised thereafter
except as set forth below. In such event, the unvested portion of the Option shall not be exercisable and shall expire and be cancelled
on the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event of the Participant’s Disability or death within three months after the Termination Date, the Participant or
the Participant’s Survivors may exercise the Option within one year after the Termination Date, but in no event after the
Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice.
In the event the Participant’s
service is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause, the Participant’s right to exercise any unexercised portion
of this Option even if vested shall cease immediately as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated
for Cause, and this Option shall thereupon terminate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to the Participant’s
termination, but prior to the exercise of the Option, the Administrator determines that, either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s
termination, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then the Participant shall immediately cease to have
any right to exercise the Option and this Option shall thereupon terminate.
In the event of the Disability
of the Participant, the Option shall be exercisable within one year after the Participant’s termination of due to Disability
or, if earlier, on or prior to the Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice. In such event, the Option
shall be exercisable:
|
|
(a)
|
to the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised as of the date
of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability; and
|
|
|
(b)
|
in the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion
through the date of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability of any additional vesting rights that would
have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based upon the number of
days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability.
|
In the event of the death
of the Participant while an Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate, the Option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s
Survivors within one year after the date of death of the Participant or, if earlier, on or prior to the Option Expiration Date
as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice. In such event, the Option shall be exercisable:
|
|
(x)
|
to the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised as of the date
of death; and
|
|
|
(y)
|
in the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion
through the date of death of any additional vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant
not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the Participant’s
date of death.
|
6. METHOD
OF EXERCISING OPTION.
Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company or its designee, in substantially
the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (or in such other form acceptable to the Company, which may include electronic notice).
Such notice shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the person
exercising the Option (which signature may be provided electronically in a form acceptable to the Company). Payment of the Exercise
Price for such Shares shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check; or (b) at the discretion of the
Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock held for at least six months (if required to avoid negative accounting
treatment) having a Fair Market Value (as defined below) equal as of the date of the exercise to the aggregate cash exercise price
for the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised; (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by having
the Company retain from the Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value
equal as of the date of exercise to the aggregate exercise price for the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised;
or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with a cashless exercise program established with a securities
brokerage firm, and approved by the Administrator; or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination of (a),
(b), (c) and (d) above; or (f) at the discretion of the Administrator, by payment of such other lawful consideration
as the Administrator may determine. The Company shall deliver such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received,
provided, however, that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent,
which the Company deems necessary under any applicable law (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky”
laws). The Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the Company’s share register
in the name of the person so exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by the Participant and if the Participant
shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of
the Participant and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the
written order of the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof,
by any person other than the Participant, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to
exercise the Option. All Shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid
and nonassessable.
7. PARTIAL
EXERCISE.
Exercise of this Option
to the extent above stated may be made in part at any time and from time to time within the above limits, except that no fractional
share shall be issued pursuant to this Option.
8. NON
ASSIGNABILITY.
The Option shall not
be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder.
Except as provided above in this paragraph, the Option shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the
Participant (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, by the Participant’s guardian or representative) and shall
not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option or
of any rights granted hereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 8, or the levy of any attachment or similar process
upon the Option shall be null and void.
9. NO
RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE.
The Participant shall
have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to this Agreement until registration of the Shares in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Participant. Except as is expressly provided in Section 10 of this Agreement with respect
to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which
the record date is prior to the date of such registration.
10. ADJUSTMENTS.
Upon the occurrence of
any of the following events, the Participant’s rights with respect to the Option shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.
|
|
(a)
|
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the Shares shall be subdivided or combined
into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any Shares as a stock dividend on its outstanding Shares,
or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed
with respect to such Shares, the Option and the number of Shares deliverable thereunder shall be appropriately increased or decreased
proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made including, in the exercise price per share, to reflect such events.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Corporate Transactions. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another
entity in a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the acquisition of all
of the outstanding voting stock of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by a single entity other
than a transaction to merely change the state of incorporation (a “Corporate Transaction”), the Administrator or the
board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall,
as to the unexercised portion of the Option, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of the Option by substituting
on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to the Option either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding
Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written
notice to the Participant, provide that the Option must be exercised (to the extent then exercisable, within a specified number
of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Option shall terminate); or (iii) terminate the Option
in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such Corporate Transaction to the
holder of the number of Shares into which the Option would have been exercisable (either (A) to the extent then exercisable
or, (B) at the discretion of the Administrator, any such Options being made partially or fully exercisable for purposes of
this Subclause) less the aggregate exercise price thereof. For purposes of determining the payments to be made pursuant to Subclause
(iii) above, in the case of a Corporate Transaction the consideration for which, in whole or in part, is other than cash,
the consideration other than cash shall be valued at the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization
of the Company other than a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued
with respect to the outstanding Shares, the Participant upon exercising the Option after the recapitalization or reorganization
shall be entitled to receive for the price paid upon such exercise or acceptance if any, the number of replacement securities which
would have been received if the Option had been exercised prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.
|
|
|
(d)
|
Modification of Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to
Subsection (a), (b) or (c) above shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such adjustments would
cause any adverse tax consequences, including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator
determines that such adjustments would constitute a modification of the Option or other adverse tax consequence to the Participant,
it may refrain from making such adjustments, unless the Participant specifically agrees in writing that such adjustment be.
|
|
|
(e)
|
Dissolution or Liquidation of the Company. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Option will terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of the Participant or the Participant’s
Survivors have not otherwise terminated and expired, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors will have the right immediately
prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise the Option to the extent that the Option is exercisable as of the date immediately
prior to such dissolution or liquidation.
|
11. TAXES.
The Participant acknowledges
and agrees that (i) any income or other taxes due from the Participant with respect to this Option or the Shares issuable
pursuant to this Option shall be the Participant’s responsibility; (ii) the Participant was free to use professional
advisors of his or her choice in connection with this Agreement, has received advice from his or her professional advisors in connection
with this Agreement, understands its meaning and import, and is entering into this Agreement freely and without coercion or duress;
(iii) the Participant has not received and is not relying upon any advice, representations or assurances made by or on behalf
of the Company or any Affiliate or any employee of or counsel to the Company or any Affiliate regarding any tax or other effects
or implications of the Option, the Shares or other matters contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) neither the Administrator,
the Company, its Affiliates, nor any of its officers or directors, shall be held liable for any applicable costs, taxes, or penalties
associated with the Option if, in fact, the Internal Revenue Service were to determine that the Option constitutes deferred compensation
under Section 409A of the Code.
The Participant agrees
that the Company may withhold from the Participant’s remuneration, if any, the minimum statutory amount of federal, state
and local withholding taxes attributable to such amount that is considered compensation includable in such person’s gross
income. At the Company’s discretion, the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such remuneration, or
in kind from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant on exercise of the Option. The Participant further agrees that,
if the Company does not withhold an amount from the Participant’s remuneration sufficient to satisfy the Company’s
income tax withholding obligation, the Participant will reimburse the Company on demand, in cash, for the amount under-withheld.
12. PURCHASE
FOR INVESTMENT.
Unless the offering and
sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise of the Option shall have been effectively registered under the Securities
Act, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless the Company has determined that
such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and until the following conditions
have been fulfilled:
|
|
(a)
|
The person(s) who exercise the Option shall warrant to the Company, at the time of such exercise,
that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own respective accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall
be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon any certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued
pursuant to such exercise:
|
“The shares represented
by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a
pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption
from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities
laws;” and
|
|
(b)
|
If the Company so requires, the Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the
Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise in compliance with the Securities Act without registration thereunder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any action or obtaining
of any consent, which the Company deems necessary under any applicable law (including without limitation state securities or “blue
sky” laws).
|
13. RESTRICTIONS
ON TRANSFER OF SHARES.
|
|
(a)
|
The Participant agrees that in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any
of its equity securities and such Participant is requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company in connection
with such offering to sign an agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Shares, then it will promptly sign such agreement
and will not transfer, whether in privately negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or otherwise,
any Shares or other securities of the Company held by the Participant during such period as is determined by the Company and the
underwriters, not to exceed 180 days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional period of time as may be required
to comply with FINRA rules or similar rules thereto promulgated by another regulatory authority (such period, the “Lock-Up
Period”). Such agreement shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter
and pursuant to customary and prevailing terms and conditions. Whether or not the Participant has signed such an agreement, the
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares or other securities of the Company subject to the foregoing
restrictions until the end of the Lock-Up Period.
|
|
|
(b)
|
The Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, its stockholders nor its directors
and officers, has any duty or obligation to disclose to the Participant any material information regarding the business of the
Company or affecting the value of the Shares before, at the time of, or following a termination of the service of the Participant
by the Company, including, without limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a public offering of its
securities or to be acquired by or merged with or into another firm or entity.
|
14. NO
OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIP.
The Participant acknowledges
that: (i) the Company is not by this Agreement obligated to continue the Participant as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate;
(ii) the grant of the Option is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future
grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options; (iii) all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including,
but not limited to, the times when options shall be granted, the number of shares subject to each option, the option price, and
the time or times when each option shall be exercisable, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the value of
the Option is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment or consulting
contract, if any; and (v) the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance,
resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
15. NOTICES.
Any notices required
or permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be given by recognized courier service, facsimile, registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

16. GOVERNING
LAW.
This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law
principles thereof. For the purpose of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to exclusive
jurisdiction in Delaware and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the state courts of Delaware or the federal courts
of the United States for the District of Delaware.
17. BENEFIT
OF AGREEMENT.

hereof, this Agreement shall be for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns of the parties hereto.
18. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT.

the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof (with the exception of acceleration of
vesting provisions contained in any other agreement with the Company). No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall affect or be used to interpret, change or restrict the express terms and provisions
of this Agreement.
19. MODIFICATIONS
AND AMENDMENTS.
The terms and provisions
of this Agreement may be modified or amended by the Administrator; provided, however, the Administrator not take any action that
is considered a direct or indirect “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable
securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares are listed, including any other action that is treated
as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles. Any modification or amendment of this Agreement shall not, without
the consent of the Participant, adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement. .
20. WAIVERS
AND CONSENTS.
The terms and provisions
of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by written document executed by the party
entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver
or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing
waiver or consent.
21. DATA
PRIVACY.
By entering into this
Agreement, the Participant: (i) authorizes the Company and each Affiliate, and any agent of the Company or any Affiliate facilitating
the grant of options under this Agreement, to disclose to the Company or any of its Affiliates such information and data as the
Company or any such Affiliate shall request in order to facilitate the grant of options; and (ii) authorizes the Company and

provided, however, that any provision in an agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, which contains a

If the common stock is not traded

shall determine in compliance with applicable laws.

The Company hereby grants
to the Participant the right and option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of the number of Shares set forth in the Stock
Option Grant Notice, on the terms and conditions and subject to all the limitations set forth herein and under United States securities
and tax laws.
3. EXERCISE
PRICE.
The exercise price of
the Shares covered by the Option shall be the amount per Share set forth in the Stock Option Grant Notice, subject to adjustment,
as provided in Section 10, in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split or other events affecting the holders of Shares
after the date hereof (the “Exercise Price”). Payment shall be made in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.
4. EXERCISABILITY
OF OPTION.
Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Option granted hereby shall become vested and exercisable as set forth in the Stock
Option Grant Notice and is subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
This Option shall terminate
on the Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice, but shall be subject to earlier termination as provided
herein.
If the Participant ceases
to be an Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate for any reason other than the death or Disability of the Participant, or termination
of the Participant for Cause (the “Termination Date”), the Option to the extent then vested and exercisable pursuant
to Section 4 hereof as of the Termination Date, and not previously terminated in accordance with this Agreement, may be exercised
within three months after the Termination Date, or on or prior to the Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant
Notice, whichever is earlier, but may not be exercised thereafter except as set forth below. In such event, the unvested portion
of the Option shall not be exercisable and shall expire and be cancelled on the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event of the Participant’s Disability or death within three months after the Termination Date, the Participant or
the Participant’s Survivors may exercise the Option within one year after the Termination Date, but in no event after the
Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice.
In the event the Participant’s
service is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause, the Participant’s right to exercise any unexercised portion
of this Option even if vested shall cease immediately as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated
for Cause, and this Option shall thereupon terminate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to the Participant’s
termination, but prior to the exercise of the Option, the Administrator determines that, either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s
termination, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then the Participant shall immediately cease to have
any right to exercise the Option and this Option shall thereupon terminate.
In the event of the Disability
of the Participant, , the Option shall be exercisable within one year after the Participant’s termination of due to Disability
or, if earlier, on or prior to the Option Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice. In such event, the Option
shall be exercisable:
|
|
(a)
|
to the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised as of the date
of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability; and
|
|
|
(b)
|
in the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion
through the date of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability of any additional vesting rights that would
have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based upon the number of
days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of service due to Disability.
|
In the event of the death
of the Participant while an Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate, the Option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s
Survivors within one year after the date of death of the Participant or, if earlier, on or prior to the Option Expiration Date
as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice. In such event, the Option shall be exercisable:
|
|
(x)
|
to the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised as of the date
of death; and
|
|
|
(y)
|
in the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion
through the date of death of any additional vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant
not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the Participant’s
date of death.
|
6. METHOD
OF EXERCISING OPTION.
Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company or its designee, in substantially
the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (or in such other form acceptable to the Company, which may include electronic
notice). Such notice shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by
the person exercising the Option (which signature may be provided electronically in a form acceptable to the Company). Payment
of the Exercise Price for such Shares shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check; or (b) at the discretion
of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock held for at least six months (if required to avoid negative accounting
treatment) having a Fair Market Value (as defined below) equal as of the date of the exercise to the aggregate cash exercise price
for the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised; (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by having
the Company retain from the Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value
equal as of the date of exercise to the aggregate exercise price for the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised;
or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with a cashless exercise program established with a securities
brokerage firm, and approved by the Administrator; or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination of (a),
(b), (c) and (d) above; or (f) at the discretion of the Administrator, by payment of such other lawful consideration
as the Administrator may determine. The Company shall deliver such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received,
provided, however, that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent,
which the Company deems necessary under any applicable law (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky”
laws). The Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the Company’s share register
in the name of the person so exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by the Participant and if the Participant
shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of
the Participant and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the
written order of the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof,
by any person other than the Participant, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to
exercise the Option. All Shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid
and nonassessable.
Exercise of this Option
to the extent above stated may be made in part at any time and from time to time within the above limits, except that no fractional
share shall be issued pursuant to this Option.
The Option shall not
be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder.
Except as provided above in this paragraph, the Option shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the
Participant (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, by the Participant’s guardian or representative) and shall
not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option or
of any rights granted hereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 8, or the levy of any attachment or similar process
upon the Option shall be null and void.
|
|
9.
|
NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE.
|
The Participant shall
have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to this Agreement until registration of the Shares in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Participant. Except as is expressly provided in Section 10 of this Agreement with respect
to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which
the record date is prior to the date of such registration.
Upon the occurrence of
any of the following events, the Participant’s rights with respect to the Option shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the Shares shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares
or if the Company shall issue any Shares as a stock dividend on its outstanding Shares, or (ii) additional shares or new or
different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such Shares, the Option
and the number of Shares deliverable thereunder shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate
adjustments shall be made including, in the exercise price per share, to reflect such events.
(b) Corporate
Transactions. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, consolidation, or sale of
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the acquisition of all of the outstanding
voting stock of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by a single entity other than a
transaction to merely change the state of incorporation (a “Corporate Transaction”), the Administrator or the board
of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall, as to
the unexercised portion of the Option, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of the Option by substituting
on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to the Option either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding
Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written
notice to the Participant, provide that the Option must be exercised (to the extent then exercisable, within a specified number
of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Option shall terminate); or (iii) terminate the Option
in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such Corporate Transaction to the
holder of the number of Shares into which the Option would have been exercisable (either (A) to the extent then exercisable
or, (B) at the discretion of the Administrator, any such Options being made partially or fully exercisable for purposes of
this Subclause) less the aggregate exercise price thereof. For purposes of determining the payments to be made pursuant
to Subclause (iii) above, in the case of a Corporate Transaction the consideration for which, in whole or in part, is other
than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be valued at the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors.
(c) Recapitalization
or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company other than a Corporate Transaction pursuant
to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding Shares, the Participant
upon exercising the Option after the recapitalization or reorganization shall be entitled to receive for the price paid upon such
exercise or acceptance if any, the number of replacement securities which would have been received if the Option had been exercised
prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.
(d) Modification
of Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Subsection (a), (b) or (c) above shall
be made only after the Administrator determines whether such adjustments would cause any adverse tax consequences, including, but
not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments would constitute
a modification of the Option or other adverse tax consequence to the Participant, it may refrain from making such adjustments,
unless the Participant specifically agrees in writing that such adjustment be.
(e). Dissolution
or Liquidation of the Company. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Option will terminate and become null
and void; provided, however, that if the rights of the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors have not otherwise terminated
and expired, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors will have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or
liquidation to exercise the Option to the extent that the Option is exercisable as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution
or liquidation.
The Participant acknowledges
and agrees that (i) any income or other taxes due from the Participant with respect to this Option or the Shares issuable
pursuant to this Option shall be the Participant’s responsibility; (ii) the Participant was free to use professional
advisors of his or her choice in connection with this Agreement, has received advice from his or her professional advisors in connection
with this Agreement, understands its meaning and import, and is entering into this Agreement freely and without coercion or duress;
(iii) the Participant has not received and is not relying upon any advice, representations or assurances made by or on behalf
of the Company or any Affiliate or any employee of or counsel to the Company or any Affiliate regarding any tax or other effects
or implications of the Option, the Shares or other matters contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) neither the Administrator,
the Company, its Affiliates, nor any of its officers or directors, shall be held liable for any applicable costs, taxes, or penalties
associated with the Option if, in fact, the Internal Revenue Service were to determine that the Option constitutes deferred compensation
under Section 409A of the Code.
The Participant agrees
that the Company may withhold from the Participant’s remuneration, if any, the minimum statutory amount of federal, state
and local withholding taxes attributable to such amount that is considered compensation includable in such person’s gross
income. At the Company’s discretion, the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such remuneration, or
in kind from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant on exercise of the Option. The Participant further agrees that,
if the Company does not withhold an amount from the Participant’s remuneration sufficient to satisfy the Company’s
income tax withholding obligation, the Participant will reimburse the Company on demand, in cash, for the amount under-withheld.
|
|
12.
|
PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.
|
Unless the offering and
sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise of the Option shall have been effectively registered under the Securities
Act, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless the Company has determined that
such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and until the following conditions
have been fulfilled:
|
|
(a)
|
The person(s) who exercise the Option shall warrant to the Company, at the time of such exercise,
that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own respective accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall
be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon any certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued
pursuant to such exercise:
|
“The shares represented
by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a
pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption
from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities
laws;” and
(b) If
the Company so requires, the Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued upon such particular
exercise in compliance with the Securities Act without registration thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems
necessary under any applicable law (including without limitation state securities or “blue sky” laws).
|
|
13.
|
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES.
|
13.1 The
Participant agrees that in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its equity securities and such
Participant is requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company in connection with such offering to sign an
agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Shares, then it will promptly sign such agreement and will not transfer, whether
in privately negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or otherwise, any Shares or other securities
of the Company held by the Participant during such period as is determined by the Company and the underwriters, not to exceed 180
days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional period of time as may be required to comply with FINRA rules or
similar rules thereto promulgated by another regulatory authority (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such agreement
shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter and pursuant to customary
and prevailing terms and conditions. Whether or not the Participant has signed such an agreement, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Shares or other securities of the Company subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end
of the Lock-Up Period.
13.2 The
Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, its stockholders nor its directors and officers, has any duty or
obligation to disclose to the Participant any material information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the value
of the Shares before, at the time of, or following a termination of the service of the Participant by the Company, including, without
limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or
merged with or into another firm or entity.
|
|
14.
|
NO OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIP.
|
The Participant acknowledges
that: (i) the Company is not by this Agreement obligated to continue the Participant as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate;
(ii) the grant of the Option is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future
grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options; (iii) all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including,
but not limited to, the times when options shall be granted, the number of shares subject to each option, the option price, and
the time or times when each option shall be exercisable, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the value of
the Option is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment or consulting
contract, if any; and (v) the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance,
resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
Any notices required
or permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be given by recognized courier service, facsimile, registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

or to such other address or addresses of which notice in the
same manner has previously been given. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt, one business
day following delivery to a recognized courier service or three business days following mailing by registered or certified mail.
This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law
principles thereof. For the purpose of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to exclusive
jurisdiction in Delaware and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the state courts of Delaware or the federal courts
of the United States for the District of Delaware.

|
|
19.
|
MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS.
|
The terms and provisions
of this Agreement may be modified or amended by the Administrator; provided, however, the Administrator not take any action that

securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares are listed, including any other action that is treated
as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles. Any modification or amendment of this Agreement shall not, without
the consent of the Participant, adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement. .

or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent

waiver or consent.

provided, however, that any provision in an agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, which contains a
conflicting definition of Cause for termination and which is in effect at the time of such termination, shall supersede this definition.

NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL VESTING.
|
The Participant shall
have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to this Agreement until registration of the Shares in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Participant. Except as is expressly provided in Section 7 of this Agreement with respect
to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which
the record date is prior to the date of such registration.
Upon the occurrence of
any of the following events, the Participant’s rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be adjusted as hereinafter
provided.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the Shares shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares
or if the Company shall issue any Shares as a stock dividend on its outstanding Shares, or (ii) additional shares or new or
different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such Shares, the Restricted
Stock Units and the number of Shares deliverable thereunder shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and
appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect such events.
(b) Corporate
Transactions. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, consolidation, or sale of
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the acquisition of all of the outstanding
voting stock of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by a single entity other than a
transaction to merely change the state of incorporation (a “Corporate Transaction”), the Administrator or the board
of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall, as to
the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of the Restricted
Stock Units by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to the Restricted Stock Units either the consideration
payable with respect to the outstanding Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring
entity; or (ii) the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, provide that immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction,
the award shall be fully vested.
(c) Recapitalization
or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company other than a Corporate Transaction pursuant
to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding Shares, the Participant
shall be entitled to receive, after the recapitalization or reorganization for the price paid, if any, the number of replacement
securities which would have been received if such shares have vested prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.
(d) Modification
of Restricted Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Subsection (a), (b) or (c) above
shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such adjustments would cause any adverse tax consequences, including,
but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments would constitute
a modification of the Restricted Stock Units or other adverse tax consequence to the Participant, it may refrain from making such
adjustments, unless the Participant specifically agrees in writing that such adjustment be.
(e).
Dissolution or Liquidation of the
Company. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Restricted Stock Units will terminate and become null and
void..
8. TAXES.
The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from the Participant with respect to this award or the
shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise sold shall be the Participant’s responsibility.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Participant agrees that if under applicable law the Participant will owe taxes at each vesting
date on the portion of the award then vested, the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Participant of the amount
of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company by applicable law or regulation. Any taxes or other amounts
due shall be paid, at the option of the Company as follows:
(a) through
reducing the number of shares of Common Stock entitled to be issued to the Participant on the applicable vesting date in an amount
equal to the statutory minimum of the Participant’s total tax and other withholding obligations due and payable by the Company.
Fractional shares will not be retained to satisfy any portion of the Company’s withholding obligation. Accordingly, the Participant
agrees that in the event that the amount of withholding required would result in a fraction of a share being owed, that amount
will be satisfied by withholding the fractional amount from the Participant’s paycheck; or in the alternative, at the election
of the Company, the Company may additionally reduce the number of shares of Common Stock entitled to be issued to the Participant
on the applicable vesting date in an amount equal to those additional whole shares necessary to cover the minimum of the Participant’s
total tax and other withholding obligations due and payable by the Company, and to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed
the Company’s withholding obligation, the Company agrees to pay such excess cash to the Participant as soon as practicable
or to apply such excess as a payment of the Participant’s federal income tax withholding amount;
(b) requiring
the Participant to deposit with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required to be
withheld with respect to the statutory minimum amount of the Participant’s total tax and other withholding obligations due
and payable by the Company or otherwise withholding from the Participant’s paycheck an amount equal to such amounts due and
payable by the Company; or
(c) if
the Company believes that the sale of shares can be made in compliance with applicable securities laws, authorizing, at a time
when the Participant is not in possession of material nonpublic information, the sale by the Participant on the applicable vesting
date of such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company instructs a registered broker to sell to satisfy the Company’s
withholding obligation, after deduction of the broker’s commission, and the broker shall be required to remit to the Company
the cash necessary in order for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligation. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed
the Company’s withholding obligation the Company agrees to pay such excess cash to the Participant as soon as practicable,
or to apply such excess as a payment of the Participant’s federal income tax withholding amount. In addition, if such sale
is not sufficient to pay the Company’s withholding obligation the Participant agrees to pay to the Company as soon as practicable,
including through additional payroll withholding, the amount of any withholding obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of
shares of Common Stock. The Participant agrees to hold the Company and the broker harmless from all costs, damages or expenses
relating to any such sale. The Participant acknowledges that the Company and the broker are under no obligation to arrange for
such sale at any particular price. In connection with such sale of shares of Common Stock, the Participant shall execute any such
documents requested by the broker in order to effectuate the sale of shares of Common Stock and payment of the withholding obligation
to the Company. The Participant acknowledges that this paragraph is intended to comply with Section 10b5-1(c)(1(i)(B) under
the Exchange Act.
The Company shall not
deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made.

PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.
|
Unless the offering and
sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall have been effectively registered
under the Securities Act, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such vesting unless the Company
has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and until
the following conditions have been fulfilled:
|
|
(a)
|
The person(s) to whom the Shares are to be issued shall warrant to the Company, at the time
of vesting, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own respective accounts, for investment, and not with
a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such
Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon any certificate(s) evidencing
the Shares issued pursuant to such vesting:
|
“The shares represented
by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a
pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption
from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities
laws;” and
(b) If
the Company so requires, the Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued upon such particular
vesting in compliance with the Securities Act without registration thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems
necessary under any applicable law (including without limitation state securities or “blue sky” laws).

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES.
|
10.1 The
Participant agrees that in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its equity securities and such
Participant is requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company in connection with such offering to sign an
agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Shares, then it will promptly sign such agreement and will not transfer, whether
in privately negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or otherwise, any Shares or other securities
of the Company held by the Participant during such period as is determined by the Company and the underwriters, not to exceed 180
days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional period of time as may be required to comply with FINRA rules or
similar rules thereto promulgated by another regulatory authority (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such agreement
shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter and pursuant to customary
and prevailing terms and conditions. Whether or not the Participant has signed such an agreement, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Shares or other securities of the Company subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end
of the Lock-Up Period.
10.2 The
Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, its stockholders nor its directors and officers, has any duty or
obligation to disclose to the Participant any material information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the value
of the Shares before, at the time of, or following a termination of the service of the Participant by the Company, including, without
limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or
merged with or into another firm or entity.
|
|
11.
|
NO OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIP.
|
The Participant acknowledges
that: (i) the Company is not by this Agreement obligated to continue the Participant as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate;
(ii) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to
receive future grants of awards, or benefits in lieu of awards; (iii) all determinations with respect to any such future grants,
including, but not limited to, the times when awards shall be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, the award price,
and the time or times when each award shall be exercisable or vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the
value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Participant’s
employment or consulting contract, if any; and (v) the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation
for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension
or retirement benefits or similar payments.

or permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be given by recognized courier service, facsimile, registered or certified mail,

This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law
principles thereof. For the purpose of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to exclusive
jurisdiction in Delaware and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the state courts of Delaware or the federal courts
of the United States for the District of Delaware.

prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof (with the exception of acceleration of
vesting provisions contained in any other agreement with the Company). No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement

16.
|
MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS.
|
The terms and provisions

shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing
waiver or consent.
