CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among others, (a) our expectations about possible business combinations, (b) our growth strategies, (c) our future financing plans, and (d) our anticipated needs for working capital. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “approximate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “budget,” “could,” “forecast,” “might,” “predict,” “shall” or “project,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. These statements may be found in this prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, potential target businesses, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, changes in local, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market (supply and demand) and regulatory conditions and the following:

•

our need for additional capital for our operations and to fulfill our business plans;

•

the effect of COVID-19;

•

dependency on our ability, and the ability of our contract manufacturers, to timely procure electronic components;

•

the potential ineffectiveness of our strategic focus on power supply solution competencies;

•

dependency on developer partners for the development of some of our custom design products;

•

dependency on sales of our legacy products for a meaningful portion of our revenues;

•

the possible failure of our custom product development efforts to result in products which meet customers’ needs or such customers’ failure to accept such new products;

•

our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel;

•

dependence on a few major customers;

•

dependence on the electronic equipment industry;

•

reliance on third-party subcontract manufacturers to manufacture certain aspects of the products sold by us;

•

reduced profitability as a result of increased competition, price erosion and product obsolescence within the industry;

•

our ability to establish, maintain and expand its OEM relationships and other distribution channels;

•

our inability to procure necessary key components for its products, or the purchase of excess or the wrong inventory;

•

variations in operating results from quarter to quarter; and

•

dependence on international sales and the impact of certain governmental regulatory restrictions on such international sales and operations.

We caution you therefore that you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as statements of historical fact or as guarantees or assurances of future performance.

Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, is included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is generally based on academic and other publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services. Except as required by U.S. federal securities laws, we have no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or other factors that could affect those statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The Commission allows us to ‘‘incorporate by reference’’ certain information that we file with the Commission, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and information that we file later with the Commission will update automatically, supplement and/or supersede the information disclosed in this prospectus. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus or in any other document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus. You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding our company, our Common Stock and our financial statements and notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated herein by reference.

Our Company

As a holding company, our business strategy is designed to increase shareholder value. Under this strategy, we are focused on acquiring, managing and financially supporting our subsidiaries and partner companies, with the goal of pursuing monetization opportunities and maximizing the value returned to shareholders. We have, are and will consider initiatives including, among others: public offerings, the acquisition of new subsidiaries and/or partner companies, the sale of individual partner companies, the sale of certain or all partner company interests in secondary market transactions, or a combination thereof, as well as other opportunities to maximize shareholder value. We anticipate returning value to shareholders after satisfying our debt obligations and working capital needs.

From time to time, we engage in discussions with other companies interested in our subsidiaries or partner companies, either in response to inquiries or as part of a process we initiate. To the extent we believe that a subsidiary partner company’s further growth and development can best be supported by a different ownership structure or if we otherwise believe it is in our shareholders’ best interests, we will seek to sell some or all of our position in the subsidiary or partner company. These sales may take the form of privately negotiated sales of stock or assets, mergers and acquisitions, public offerings of the subsidiary or partner company’s securities and, in the case of publicly traded partner companies, sales of their securities in the open market. Our plans may include taking subsidiaries or partner companies public through rights offerings and directed share subscription programs. We will continue to consider these (or similar) programs and the sale of certain subsidiary or partner company interests in secondary market transactions to maximize value for our shareholders.

Over the recent past we have provided capital and relevant expertise to fuel the growth of businesses in defense/aerospace, industrial, telecommunications, medical and textile industries. We have provided capital to subsidiaries as well as partner companies in which we have an equity interest or may be actively involved, influencing development through board representation and management support.

The Offering

Outstanding Common Stock:		59,257,011 shares of our Common Stock are outstanding as of August 25, 2021.

Common Stock Offered:		Up to 8,530,000 shares of Common Stock for sale by the selling securityholders (which include our executive officers and directors) for their own account pursuant to the Plans.

Selling Securityholders:		The selling securityholders are set forth in the section entitled “Selling Securityholders” of this reoffer prospectus on page 5.

We would, however, receive proceeds upon the exercise of the stock options by those who receive options under the Plans and exercise such options for cash. Any cash proceeds will be used by us for general corporate purposes.

Risk Factors:		The securities offered hereby involve a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors.”

NYSE American trading symbol:		DPW

RISK FACTORS

An investment in shares of our Common Stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. We face a variety of risks that may affect our operations or financial results and many of those risks are driven by factors that we cannot control or predict. Before investing in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks below and set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2021, which are incorporated by reference herein, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC, together with the financial and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock would likely decline and you may lose all or a part of your investment. Only those investors who can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment should invest in our Common Stock.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

Volatility in our Common Stock price may subject us to securities litigation.

Stock markets, in general, have experienced, and continue to experience, significant price and volume volatility, and the market price of our Common Stock may continue to be subject to similar market fluctuations unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. This increased volatility, coupled with depressed economic conditions, could continue to have a depressing effect on the market price of our Common Stock. The following factors, many of which are beyond our control, may influence our stock price:

•

the status of our growth strategy including the development of new products with any proceeds we may be able to raise in the future;

•

announcements of technological or competitive developments;

•

regulatory developments affecting us, our customers or our competitors;

•

announcements regarding patent or other intellectual property litigation or the issuance of patents to us or our competitors or updates with respect to the enforceability of patents or other intellectual property rights generally in the U.S. or internationally;

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

•

changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

•

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of our competitors;

•

additions or departures of our executive officers; and

•

sales or perceived sales of additional shares of our Common Stock.

In addition, the securities markets have, from time to time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. Any of these factors could result in large and sudden changes in the volume and trading price of our Common Stock and could cause our stockholders to incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted securities class action litigation against that company. If we were involved in a class action suit or other securities litigation, it would divert the attention of our senior management, require us to incur significant expense and, whether or not adversely determined, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The issuance of shares of our Class B Common Stock to our management or others could provide such persons with voting control leaving our other stockholders unable to elect our directors and the holders of our shares of Common Stock will have little influence over our Management.

Although there are currently no shares of our Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock provides the holder thereof with ten (10) votes on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. Any person or group who controls or can obtain more than 50% of the votes cast for the election of each director will control the election of directors and the other stockholders will not be able to elect any directors or exert any influence over management decisions. As a result of the super-voting rights of our shares of Class B Common Stock, the issuance of such shares to our management or others could provide such persons with voting control and our other stockholders will not be able to elect our directors and will have little influence over our management. While we are listed on the NYSE American or any other national securities exchange it is highly unlikely that we would issue any shares of Class B Common Stock as doing so would jeopardize our continued listing any such exchange. However, if were to be delisted for some other reason and our shares of Class A Common Stock trade on an over-the-counter market, then we would face no restriction on issuing shares of Class B Common Stock.

The rights of the holders of Common Stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.

Our certificate of incorporation gives our board of directors the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of Common Stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock or to create a series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. Our research coverage by industry and financial analysts is currently limited. Even if our analyst coverage increases, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock and, accordingly, stockholders must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. You should not rely on an investment in our company if you require dividend income from your investment in our company. The success of your investment will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation of the market price of our Common Stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable. There is no guarantee that our Common Stock will appreciate in value.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares which may be sold under this reoffer prospectus will be sold for the respective accounts of each of the Selling Securityholders listed herein (which includes our executive officers and directors). Accordingly, we will not realize any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the options; however, no assurance can be given as to when or if any or all of the options will be exercised. If any options are exercised, the proceeds derived therefrom will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. All expenses of the registration of the shares will be paid by us. See “Selling Securityholders” and “Plan of Distribution.”

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

We are registering for resale the shares covered by this prospectus to permit the Selling Securityholders identified below and their pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest that receive their securities from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus to resell the shares when and as they deem appropriate. The Selling Securityholders acquired, or may acquire, these shares from us pursuant to the Plans. The shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred by the Selling Securityholders unless and until the applicable awards vest and are exercised, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plans.

The following table sets forth:

the name of each Selling Securityholder;

the position(s), office or other material relationship with our company and its predecessors or affiliates, over the last three years of each Selling Securityholder;

the number and percentage of shares of our Common Stock that each Selling Securityholder beneficially owned as of August 25, 2021 prior to the offering for resale of the shares under this prospectus;

the number of shares of our Common Stock that may be offered for resale for the account of each Selling Securityholder under this prospectus; and

the number and percentage of shares of our Common Stock to be beneficially owned by each Selling Securityholder after the offering of the resale shares (assuming all of the offered resale shares are sold by such Selling Securityholder).

Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information obtained from the Selling Securityholders. Because the Selling Securityholders may offer all or part of the shares of Common Stock, which they own pursuant to the offering contemplated by this reoffer prospectus, and because its offering is not being underwritten on a firm commitment basis, no estimate can be given as to the amount of shares that will be held upon termination of this offering.

The number of shares in the column ‘‘Number of Shares Being Offered’’ represents all of the shares of our Common Stock that each Selling Securityholder may offer under this prospectus. We do not know how long the Selling Securityholders will hold the shares before selling them or how many shares they will sell. The shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the Selling Securityholders listed below. We cannot assure you that any of the Selling Securityholders will offer for sale or sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock offered by them by this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the Shares covered by this prospectus to permit the Selling Stockholders to conduct public secondary trading of these Shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the Shares offered by this prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Shares will be the purchase price of the Shares less any discounts and commissions. We will not pay any brokers’ or underwriters’ discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares covered by this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of Shares to be made directly or through agents.

The Shares offered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time to purchasers:

•

directly by the Selling Stockholders, or

•

through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, commissions or agent’s commissions from the Selling Stockholders or the purchasers of the Shares.

Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

The Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at:

•

fixed prices;

•

prevailing market prices at the time of sale;

•

prices related to such prevailing market prices;

•

varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

•

negotiated prices.

These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:

•

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including the NYSE;

•

in the over-the-counter market;

•

in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;

•

any other method permitted by applicable law; or

•

through any combination of the foregoing.

These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.

At the time a particular offering of the Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the Selling Stockholders, the aggregate amount of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.

The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of the Shares under this prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Selling Stockholders will not transfer, distribute, devise or gift the Shares by other means not described in this prospectus. In addition, any Shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Shares may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the Shares will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular Shares being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares.

The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the issuance of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP, New York, New York.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents filed with the SEC are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement (unless otherwise noted, the SEC file number for each of the documents listed below is 001-12711):

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021;

Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021 and August 16, 2021, respectively;

Our definitive proxy statement Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on June 7, 2021; and

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act on or after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents; provided, however, that documents or information deemed to have been furnished and not filed in accordance with the rules of the SEC shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

As permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of this provision is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of certain fiduciary duties as a director, except that a director will be personally liable for:

•

any breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

•

acts or omissions not in good faith which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

the payment of dividends or the redemption or purchase of stock in violation of Delaware law; or

•

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

This provision does not affect a director’s liability under the federal securities laws.

At present, we do not maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in order to limit the exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act; however, we are in the process of obtaining such insurance.

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 registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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 registrant 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

The issuance of the Shares being offered by the Form S-3 resale prospectus were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder) as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about the Registrant.

Item 9. Undertakings.

A. The undersigned Registrant 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;

(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement.

(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 (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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.

B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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 Registrant 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Exhibit 99.3

AULT GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

FORM OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ___________, between Ault Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ___________ (the “Optionee”).

The Company and Optionee desire to enter into this Agreement whereby the Company will grant Optionee the options specified herein to acquire certain shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). This Option may be exercised in whole or in part and from time to time as hereinafter provided. The Option granted under this Agreement is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” issued pursuant to a plan (a “Plan”) as set forth in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

This Option is expressly subject to the approval by the stockholders of the Company and the approval by the Trading Market (the “Required Approvals”). Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, if the Company does not obtain the Required Approvals, then this Agreement and the entire Option granted hereunder shall be rescinded and Optionee agrees that the Option is void ab initio, and he/she shall cease to have any rights and will not be owed any obligations with respect to this Agreement and the Option granted hereunder. The Company makes no representations regarding whether the Required Approvals will be obtained. “Trading Market” means whichever of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Acknowledgment. Each of the undersigned agrees that this Agreement has been executed and delivered, and the stock options are being granted, outside of a Plan.

2. Option.

(a) Option Grant. The Company hereby grants to Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase up to ________ shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”), at an exercise price per share of $______ (the “Option Price”). The Option Price and the number of Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option will be equitably adjusted for any share split, share dividend, reclassification or recapitalization of the Common Stock which occurs subsequent to the date of this Agreement. The Option will expire on the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, subject to earlier expiration in connection with the termination of Optionee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as provided in Section 2(c) below.

(b) Exercisability. The Option described in Section 2(a) above shall vest in _________ increments over a period of ___ (__) years beginning on __________ (the “Vesting Commencement Date”), if Optionee is, and has continuously been, employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The exercise of the Option with respect to any Option Shares is subject to the Required Approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date of Optionee’s termination of employment (the “Employment Termination Date”) occurs at any time before the second anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, the cumulative percentage of Option Shares to become vested shall be determined on a pro rata basis according to the number of calendar months elapsed since the Vesting Commencement Date.

(c) Early Expiration of Option. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any portion of the Option granted hereunder that has not vested and become exercisable prior to the Employment Termination Date will expire on such Employment Termination Date and may not be exercised under any circumstance. Any portion of the Option granted hereunder which has vested and become exercisable prior to the Employment Termination Date will expire on the earlier to occur of (i) thirty (30) days after the Employment Termination Date and (ii) the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

(d) Procedure for Exercise. Subject to the Required Approvals, at any time after all or any portion of the Options granted hereunder have become exercisable with respect to any Option Shares and prior to the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, Optionee may exercise all or any portion of the Option granted hereunder with respect to Option Shares vested pursuant to Section 2(b) above by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company (the “Exercise Notice”), which Exercise Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with (i) a written acknowledgment that Optionee has read and has been afforded an opportunity to ask questions of management of the Company regarding all financial and other information provided to Optionee regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) payment in full by delivery of a cashier’s, personal or certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company in the amount equal to the number of Option Shares to be acquired multiplied by the option exercise price. As a condition to any exercise of the Option, Optionee will permit the Company to deliver to him or her all financial and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries which it believes is necessary to enable Optionee to make an informed investment decision. In the event that, at the time of the exercise of the Option, the Option Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Optionee will deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(e) Securities Laws Restrictions. Optionee represents that when Optionee exercises any portion of the Option he or she will be purchasing the Option Shares represented thereby for Optionee’s own account and not on behalf of others. Optionee understands and acknowledges that U.S. federal and state securities laws govern and restrict Optionee’s right to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares unless Optionee’s offer, sale or other disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act and federal and state securities laws or, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such offer, sale or other disposition is exempt from registration thereunder. Optionee agrees that he or she will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares in any manner which would: (i) require the Company to file any registration statement (or similar filing under applicable securities law) with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to amend or supplement any such filing or (ii) violate or cause the Company to violate the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other applicable U.S. or local securities law. Optionee further understands that the certificates for any Option Shares which Optionee purchases will bear a legend as the Company deems necessary or desirable in connection with the Securities Act or other rules, regulations or laws.

(f) Limited Transferability of the Option. The Option granted hereunder is personal to Optionee and is not transferable by Optionee except pursuant to the laws of descent or distribution. Only Optionee or his or her legal guardian or representative may exercise the Option granted hereunder.

3. Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action taken by the Company or Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) with respect to any and all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, employment or other tax-related withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Optionee is and remains his or her responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting, exercise, assignment, release or cancellation of the Option, the subsequent sale of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise, or the receipt of any dividends and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any other aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, Optionee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by one or a combination of the following methods: (1) withholding Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Option Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option; (3) selling or arranging for the sale of Option Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option (on Optionee’s behalf and at his or her direction pursuant to this authorization); or (4) withholding Option Shares, provided that only the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of Tax-Related Items is withheld or such other amount that does not trigger adverse accounting consequences. For these purposes, the fair market value of the Option Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that Tax-Related Items are to be determined. If the obligation of Tax-Related Items is satisfied by reducing the number of Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option, Optionee is deemed (for tax purposes) to have been issued the full number of Option Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Option Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Option.

Finally, Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of the Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s purchase of Option Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company or the Employer may refuse to honor the exercise of the Option and shall have no obligation to deliver Option Shares until Optionee has satisfied the obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

4. Optionee’s Representations. Optionee hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Optionee does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Optionee is a party or by which he or she is bound;

(b) except as disclosed to the Company in writing, Optionee is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates);

(c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Optionee, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and

(d) Optionee has consulted with (or has had an opportunity to consult with) independent legal counsel regarding his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement and that he or she fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein and therein.

5. Nature of Grant. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Option evidenced hereby, Optionee further acknowledges that:

(a) this Option is not issued under a Plan;

(b) the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, under any compensation plan the Company has adopted or may adopt, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(d) intentionally omitted;

(e) the Option is an extraordinary item which does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary retaining Optionee and which is outside the scope of Optionee’s employment contract, if any;

(f) the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(g) in the event that Optionee is not an Optionee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the grant of an Option will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the Option will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer, the Company or any Subsidiary;

(h) the future value of the underlying Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i) if the underlying Common Stock does not increase in value, the Option will have no value;

(j) if Optionee exercises the Option and obtains Option Shares, the value of the Option Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Option Price;

(k) in consideration of the grant of the Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the option or diminution in value of the Option or Option Shares purchased through exercise of the Option resulting from termination of Optionee’s employment or service relationship by the Company or the Employer or by any Subsidiary retaining Optionee (for any reason whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws) and Optionee irrevocably releases the Company, the Employer or the Subsidiary retaining him or her from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Agreement, Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such a claim;

- 3 -

(l) notwithstanding any terms or conditions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of involuntary termination of Optionee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Optionee’s right to receive Options that become exercisable under this Agreement, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Optionee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of Optionee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), his or her right to receive Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of Optionee’s active employment; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Optionee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Option;

(m) it is Optionee’s sole responsibility to investigate and comply with any applicable exchange control laws in connection with the issuance and delivery of Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option;

(n) the Company, the Employer or the Subsidiary retaining Optionee are not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor are the Company, the Employer or the Subsidiary retaining Optionee making any recommendations regarding Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the Option Shares; and

(o) Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding this Agreement before taking any action related hereto.

6. Data Privacy. Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary for the exclusive purpose of implementing and administering this Agreement.

Optionee understands that the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company hold certain personal information about Optionee, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Options awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor, as the Employer, the Subsidiary retaining Optionee and/or the Company deems necessary for the purpose of implementing and administering this Agreement (the “Data”).

Optionee acknowledges and understands that Data may be transferred to any broker as designated by the Company and any third parties assisting in the implementation and administration of this Agreement, that these recipients may be located in Optionee’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Optionee’s country. Optionee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing and administering this Agreement, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option.

Representations of the Optionee. The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has received, read and understood the Option Agreement and the other documentation referred to therein; the Optionee agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.

Rights as Stockholder. Until the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in the Option Agreement.

Delivery of Payment. The Optionee herewith delivers to the Company the full Exercise Price for the Shares in the form(s) provided for in the Option Agreement.

Tax Consultation. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the Optionee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares.

The resolution of such a dispute by the Board shall be final and binding on all persons.

Governing Law; Severability. This Exercise Notice is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties.

Further Instruments. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this agreement.

Entire Agreement. The Option Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and together with this Exercise Notice constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.

AULT GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

OPTIONEE:

COMPANY: Ault Global Holdings, Inc.

SECURITY: Common Stock

AMOUNT:

DATE:

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being issued to the Optionee in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends, upon among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.

Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each as promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Exchange Act); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

Optionee represents that he or she is a resident of the state of _________________.

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Restricted Share Award Agreement, if the Company does not obtain the Required Approvals, then this Restricted Share Award Agreement and the Shares granted hereunder shall be rescinded and Participant agrees that the Shares granted hereunder are void ab initio, and he/she shall cease to have any rights and will not be owed any obligations with respect to this Restricted Share Award Agreement and the Shares granted hereunder. The Company makes no representations regarding whether the Required Approvals will be obtained. “Trading Market” means whichever of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question.

2. Lapse of Restrictions.

(a) Vesting.

(i) General. Subject to the provisions set forth below, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2(b) hereof shall become effective upon receipt by the Company of the Required Approvals and shall lapse pursuant to the terms of the vesting schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to the continued employment of the Participant by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (or, in the case of a participant who is a non-employee director of the Company, subject to the continued service of the Participant as a non-employee director) as of each such vesting date (in each case except as set forth in any vesting schedule attached hereto).

(ii) Following Certain Terminations of Employment. Subject to the next sentence, upon termination of the Participant’s employment (or cessation of service as a non-employee director) with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for any reason, any restricted Shares (such shares, the “Restricted Shares”), as to which the restrictions on transferability described in this Section shall not already have lapsed, shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant and transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company without consideration of any kind and neither the Participant nor any of the Participant’s successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives shall thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Restricted Shares (in each case except as set forth in any vesting schedule attached hereto).

(b) Restrictions. Until the restrictions on transfer of the Restricted Shares lapse as provided in Section 2(a) hereof, no transfer of the Restricted Shares or any of the Participant’s rights with respect to the Restricted Shares, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Unless the Chief Financial Officer determines otherwise, upon any attempt to transfer Restricted Shares or any rights in respect of Restricted Shares before the lapse of such restrictions, such Restricted Shares, and all of the rights related thereto, shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant and transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company without consideration of any kind.

3. Legend on Certificates. The Participant agrees that any certificate issued for Restricted Shares (or, if applicable, any book entry statement issued for Restricted Shares) prior to the lapse of any outstanding restrictions relating thereto shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legend or legends required under applicable federal and state securities laws):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE (THE “RESTRICTIONS”) AS SET FORTH IN THE RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND AULT GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC., A COPY OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. ANY ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF THESE SHARES IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING BY WAY OF SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND WITHOUT EFFECT AND SHALL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF SUCH SHARES AS PROVIDED BY SUCH AGREEMENT.

4. Securities Laws Requirements. The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any Shares to the Participant free of the restrictive legend described in Section 3 hereof or of any other restrictive legend, if such transfer, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other federal or state statutes having similar requirements as may be in effect at that time.

5. No Obligation to Register. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Restricted Shares pursuant to the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws.

6. Protections Against Violations of Agreement. No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Restricted Shares by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Restricted Share Award Agreement will be valid, and the Company will not transfer any of said Restricted Shares on its books nor will any of such Restricted Shares be entitled to vote, nor will any distributions be paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with said provisions to the satisfaction of the Company. The foregoing restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce said provisions.

7. Tax Withholding. The Participant shall pay to the Company promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income in respect to the Restricted Shares (or, if the Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code in connection with such grant), an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to the Restricted Shares. The Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by making a payment to the Company in cash or, with the approval of the Chief Financial Officer, in its sole discretion, by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. Such Shares shall be valued at their fair market value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. The Participant shall promptly notify the Company of any election made pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of such election is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

8. Voting and Other Rights. Participant shall have no rights of a shareholder (including the right to vote and to distributions or dividends) until the Restricted Shares are issued.

9. Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Restricted Share Award Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

10. Governing Law. This Restricted Share Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

11. Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Restricted Share Award Agreement, to the extent that the Board determines that the Restricted Shares are subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Board reserves the right (without any obligation to do so) to amend, restructure, terminate or replace the Restricted Shares in order to cause the Restricted Shares to either not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.

12. Survival of Terms. This Restricted Share Award Agreement shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, Chief Financial Officers and legal successors.

13. Counterparts. This Restricted Share Award Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

14. Agreement Not a Contract for Services. Neither the grant of the Restricted Shares, this Restricted Share Award Agreement nor any other action taken pursuant hereto shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Participant has a right to continue to provide services as an officer, director, employee, consultant or advisor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any period of time or at any specific rate of compensation.

- 2 -

15. Authority of the Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Financial Officer shall have full authority to interpret and construe the terms of this Restricted Share Award Agreement. The determination of the Chief Financial Officer as to any such matter of interpretation or construction shall be final, binding and conclusive.

16. Representations. The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Restricted Share Award Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Restricted Share Award Agreement.

17. Severability. Should any provision of this Restricted Share Award Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Restricted Share Award Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with any such modification (if any) to become a part hereof and treated as though contained in this original Restricted Share Award Agreement. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Restricted Share Award Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable, in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear, and such determination by such judicial body shall not affect the enforceability of such provisions or provisions in any other jurisdiction.

18. Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Restricted Share Award Agreement. The Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions of this Restricted Share Award Agreement, and accepts the Restricted Shares subject to all the terms and conditions of this Restricted Share Award Agreement. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Chief Financial Officer upon any questions arising under this Restricted Share Award Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to clause (2) and clause (3)(i) above, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the shares of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.
