ACTION
1 -TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY NASDAQ LISTING RULE 5635(D), TO APPROVE THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY
UPON CONVERSION OR EXERCISE OR OTHERWISE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND THE WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON
STOCK ISSUED TO AN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR AND PLACEMENT AGENT ON FEBRUARY 13, 2018 (the Note Financing Action)
Capitalized
terms not defined in the discussions titled “Why we are seeking stockholder approval.” and “Effect of approval
of the Note Financing Action on our stockholders.” may be found in the discussion titled “Information about the Note
Financing.”
Why
we are seeking stockholder approval.
On
January 22, 2018, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) entered into with an institutional investor
(the “Investor”), the Company agreed to sell and issue (1) (i) Senior Convertible Notes to the Investor in the aggregate
principal amount of $52,700,000 (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), consisting of a Series
A Note in the principal amount of $ 10,095,941.18, and (ii) a Series B Note in the principal amount of $ 42,604,058.82, and (2)
a warrants to purchase 751,894 shares of Longfin Class A Common Stock, exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price
of $38.5493 per share (the “Investor Warrant”), for consideration consisting of (i) a cash payment of $5,000,000,
and (ii) a secured promissory note payable by the Investor to Longfin (the “Investor Note”) in the principal amount
of $42,604,058.82 (the “Investor Note Principal”) (collectively, the “Financing”). On February 12,
2018, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the SPA to implement a Floor Price (as defined below)
limitation on the
conversion price applicable to the Notes.
On
February 13, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the SPA, the Company completed the sale and issuance of
the Notes, the Investor Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant described below. The maturity date of the Notes is August
13, 2019 and the Investor Note the thirtieth anniversary thereof.
Our
common stock is listed for trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), referred to herein as the “NASDAQ
20% Rule,” requires a company with securities listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market to obtain stockholder approval if the
sale, issuance or potential issuance by the company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common
stock), for less than the greater of book or market value equals 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting
power outstanding before the issuance. The threshold of the NASDAQ 20% Rule is determined based on the number of shares of all
classes of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the issuance. On January 22, 2018, the day we and the Investor entered
into the SPA, we had 76,540,989 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Without stockholder approval, we are limited to issuing
to the Investor an aggregate of 14,800,794 shares of our Class A Stock, which represents 19.99% of the number of shares of Common
Stock we had outstanding on January 22, 2018, and is not sufficient to satisfy in full the number of shares of common stock potentially
required to be issued under the Notes, the Investor Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant described below (collectively, the
“Warrants”) in view of the anti-dilution provisions contained in such securities.
To
the extent required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), we have received stockholder approval of the issuance of shares of common
stock of the Company upon conversion or exercise or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Warrants, which will
be no less than 2,442,107 shares of Class A Stock, the effectiveness of which is contingent on the notification of our stockholders
of such action by meaning of mailing to each stockholder this Information Statement.
In
addition, the definition of “Equity Conditions” included in the Notes and described below is expansive and includes
obtaining the effectiveness of stockholder approval of the Note Financing Action. A failure to obtain such effectiveness
would constitute a failure of the Equity Conditions. If our stockholders do not approve this Note Financing Action and assuming
no other failures of the Equity Conditions, we will be required to pay the Notes in cash, rather than having the option to pay
the Notes with cash or with shares of our Common Stock. Being required to pay the Notes with cash due to the failure to
obtain stockholder approval of this Note Financing Action would have a material and adverse effect on our cash flows, operations
and financial condition.
Furthermore,
the Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant each prevents us from issuing any shares of our Class A Stock upon exercise if the
issuance of such shares (taken together with the issuance of shares of Class A Stock upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to
the terms of the Notes in the case of the Warrant) would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Class A Stock that we
may issue upon exercise, conversion or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes or Warrant without breaching our obligations
under the NASDAQ 20% Rule. If we are prevented from issuing shares of Class A Stock upon exercise of the Warrant without
violating the NASDAQ 20% Rule, we will be required to pay cash to the holder of the Warrant in exchange for the cancellation of
such portion of the Warrant that would have been exercisable into shares of our Class A Stock at a price equal to the sum
of (x) the product of (A) the number of shares of common stock that could not be obtained upon exercise of the Warrant without
violating the NASDAQ 20% Rule (the “Unissued Shares”) and (B) the greatest closing sale price of our Class A Stock
on any trading day during the period commencing on the date the holder delivers to us the notice of exercise with respect
to the Unissued Shares and ending on the date of such payment. In addition, we must pay any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket
expenses, if any, incurred by the holder to the extent that the holder purchased shares of Class A Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale of the Unissued Shares.
Effect
of approval of the Note Financing Action on our stockholders.
Based
on the Conversion Price of the Notes on January 22, 2018, and assuming that the Investor converted all of the principal and interest
outstanding under the Notes on the Closing Date, we would be required to issue 1,367,083 shares of Class A Stock to the Investor.
This issuance, together with additional issuances of Class A Stock that could be made pursuant to the Notes, for example as a
result of an Event of Default, as well as the 888,604 shares of Class A Stock that we would be required to issue if the Investor
and the Placement Agent exercised the Warrants, may cause significant dilution to our stockholders’ ownership, voting power
and right to participate in dividends or other payments from future earnings, if any, and may cause a decline in the market price
of our Class A Stock. A decline in our market price could impair our ability to raise funds in additional equity or debt financings.
In
addition to the foregoing, the increase in the number of shares of Class A Stock issued in connection with the conversion of the
Notes and the exercise of the Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant may have an incidental anti-takeover effect in that the
additional shares of Class A Stock issued could dilute the stock ownership of parties seeking to obtain control of the Company.
The increased number of issued shares could discourage the possibility of, or render more difficult, certain mergers, tender offers,
proxy contests or other change of control or ownership transactions. However, we currently know of no specific effort to accumulate
our securities or to gain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management
or otherwise.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, we believe the benefits of the approval of the Note Financing Action exceed the potential dilutive effects and
related risks described above. Our ability to succeed on our business plans and ultimately generate value for our stockholders
is dependent on our ability to maximize capital raising opportunities. Upon effectiveness of the stockholder approval of the Note
Financing Action, we will be able to maximize our ability to obtain cash in the Note Financing, resulting in approximately $81.9
million in cash potentially available to us (including, $47.6 million under the Notes and, assuming the exercise in full of the
Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant, $34.3 million in cash payment of the related exercise price), based on the Conversion
Prices the Notes and exercise price of the Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant on January 22, 2018. This will not only provide
us with significant working capital, but if we are able to pay the principal and accrued interest of the Notes with shares of
our Class A Stock, it will allow us to reduce the amount of cash we use on a monthly basis, strengthen our balance sheet and provide
us with additional capital for potential future business opportunities.
Description
of the Note Financing
The
SPA contains customary representations and warranties of the Investor and the Company regarding the purchase and sale, respectively,
of the Notes and Warrants. Under the SPA, the Company makes certain covenants including, but not limited to: (i) timely filing
of its reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (ii) provision of certain financial information to the Buyers, (iii) maintaining
the listing of the shares of Class A Common Stock on an eligible market. In addition, for as long as any Notes or Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company will not enter into or affect certain types of public offerings or private placements of equity securities
(“Subsequent Placements”) if such Subsequent Placement would cause the Company to be required to issue upon conversion
of any Notes or exercise of any Warrant any shares of Class A Stock in excess of that number of shares of Class A Stock
which the Company may issue upon such conversion without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations
of the principal market upon which the Class A Stock is then traded and, until the Notes and all notes issued pursuant
to the terms of the SPA are no longer outstanding, the Company will not effect any stock combination, reverse stock split or other
similar transaction, except as may be required to maintain the listing of the Class A Common Stock on an eligible market, without
the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the SPA). The SPA requires Longfin to reimburse the Investor
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Investor or its affiliates in connection with the structuring, documentation,
negotiation and closing of the Note Financing. Longfin will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and the Investor Warrant
for general corporate purposes.

Notes provide that the Company will repay the principal amount of Notes in equal monthly installments beginning three (3) months
after the original date of issuance (each a “Installment Date”). On each Installment Date, assuming the equity conditions
described below are met, the installment payment shall be converted into shares of Class A Stock, provided however that
the Company may elect prior to any Installment Date to pay all or a portion of the installment amount in cash.

(iv)
any shares of Class A Stock to be issued in connection with the event requiring determination (or otherwise issuable pursuant
to the terms of the Note) may be issued in full without violating the rules or regulations of the eligible market on which the
Class A Stock is then listed or designated for quotation (as applicable);
(v)
on each day during the Equity Conditions Measuring Period, no public announcement of a pending, proposed or intended Fundamental
Transaction (as defined in the Notes) shall have occurred which has not been abandoned, terminated or consummated;

for the resale of the applicable Required Minimum Securities Amount of Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement or (2) any Registrable Securities to not be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 without the

on each day during the Equity Conditions Measuring Period, the Company otherwise shall have been in compliance with each, and
shall not have breached any representation or warranty in any material respect (other than representations or warranties subject
to material adverse effect or materiality, which may not be breached in any respect) or any covenant or other term or condition
of any transaction document, including, without limitation, the Company shall not have failed to timely make any payment pursuant
to any transaction document;

trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding such date of determination is more than $15.00 (subject to
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring after
the subscription date);
(ix)
on the applicable date of determination (A) while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company has a sufficient number of authorized

The
Company may elect to pay each monthly amortization amount, in whole or in part, in cash at an amortization price equal to 105%
of the such portion of the monthly amortization amount elected to be paid in cash or by that number of shares of Class A Stock
equal to (a) such portion of the monthly amortization amount to be paid in shares of Class A Stock divided by (b) the
lesser of (i) the then existing conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price (as defined below) and (y) the Amortization
Market Price (as defined below), provided that on each such date (1) the Company meets standard equity conditions, (2) all shares
of Common Stock delivered in satisfaction of such Share Amortization Amount are delivered without restrictive legends and are
immediately eligible for resale without restriction or limitation and (3) if the Amortization Market Price is less than the Floor
Price, the Company makes a concurrent cash payment to such Investor reflecting the cash value of the applicable Note corresponding
to such portion of the Amortization Market Price below such Floor Price. The Company shall make such election no later than the
twenty-first (21
st
) trading day immediately prior to the applicable amortization date.
The
price at which the Company will convert the installment amounts is equal to the lowest of (i) the then prevailing conversion
price as described below and (ii) initially 88% of the arithmetic average of the lower of (x) the two lowest daily weighted
average prices of the Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately

consent of NASDAQ (the “Floor Price”) (such lowest amount the “Amortization Market Price”). In
the event such amount is less than $8.00, the Company is obligated to make a concurrent cash payment reflecting the cash
value of the applicable Note corresponding to such portion of the amount determined in clause (ii) is below $8.00.
Any
holder of a Note may by notice to the Company accelerate up to three future installment payments to any applicable Installment
Date, in which case the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock for the conversion of such accelerated payments. The holder
of a Note may also by notice to the Company defer any installment payment to a later Installment Date.
Conversion
of the Notes
The
Conversion Price shall be equal to the higher of (A) the Floor Price, and (B) the lower of (x) the volume weighted average
prices (“VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date, (y) the average
of the VWAP for two lowest trading days during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior
to the conversion date payment date (such price, the “Variable Conversion Price”) and (z) $38.5493 (the “Fixed
Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment, including full ratchet anti-dilution upon the issuance of any shares of Common
Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock below the then-existing Fixed Conversion Price. Anti-dilution adjustments
to the conversion price of the Notes shall be downward only. Customary exceptions apply including stock options issued to employees.
Beneficial
Ownership Limitations on Conversion and Issuance
In
addition to the conversion limitations described above, the Notes may not be converted and shares of Longfin Common Stock may
not be issued under the Notes if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the Investor together with its affiliates
would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Longfin Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
At the Investor’s option, the ownership limitation blocker may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess
of 9.99%, as applicable, except that any raise will only be effective upon 61-days’ prior notice to Longfin. In addition,
the Notes may not be converted and shares of Longfin Common Stock may not be issued under the Notes if such conversion or issuance
would be in excess of that amount permitted under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market prior to effectiveness of stockholder
approval of the Note Financing.
Covenants
The
Company has made certain negative covenants in the Notes, pursuant to which the Company agrees not to, and will cause each of
its subsidiaries not to: (a) incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness, other than permitted indebtedness;
(b) allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property
or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than permitted liens; (c) redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make
any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents all or any portion of any indebtedness other than the Notes
if at the time such payment is due or is otherwise made or, after giving effect to such payment, an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing; (d) redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on any of its capital stock; (e)
permit any indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries to mature or accelerate prior to the ninety-one (91) calendar day anniversary
of the maturity date; (f) make any changes in the nature of its business nor modify the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’
corporate structure or purpose; or (g) issue any Notes or any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the
Notes or the Investor Warrants.
The
Company has made certain affirmative covenants in the Notes, pursuant to which the Company agrees to, and will cause each of its
subsidiaries to: (a) maintain and preserve its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain, and cause each of its subsidiaries
to become or remain, duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or
leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary; (b) maintain and preserve all of
its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, and comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to comply, at all times with the provisions of all leases
to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder;
and (c) maintain all of its intellectual property rights that are necessary or material to the conduct of its business.
Events
of Default
The
Notes contain standard and customary Events of Default including but not limited to: (i) failure to register Class A Stock within certain time periods or failure to keep the registration statement effective as required by the Registration Rights
Agreement; (ii) failure to maintain the listing of Class A Stock; (iii) failure to make payments when due under
the Notes; (iv) breaches of covenants and (iv) bankruptcy or insolvency.
Following
an Event of Default, the Investor may require Longfin to redeem all or any portion of the Notes. The redemption amount may be
paid in cash or with shares of Longfin Class A Stock, at the election of the Investor, at a price equal to the Event of
Default Redemption Price.
Longfin
must immediately redeem the Notes in cash upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of Default.
The
Event of Default Redemption Price will be computed as a price equal to the greater of (i) 130% of the principal, interest and
late charges to be redeemed and (ii) the product of (X) the principal, interest and late charges to be redeemed divided by the
Conversion Price multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) 130% multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of Class A Stock
on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date preceding such Event of Default and ending on the date Longfin
makes the entire payment required to be made under the Notes.
Fundamental
Transactions
The
Notes prohibit Longfin from entering into specified transactions involving a change of control unless the successor entity, which
must be a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, assumes in
writing all of Longfin’s obligations under the Notes. The transactions contemplated under the SPA shall not be deemed, either
individually or collectively, as a “Fundamental Transaction” under the Notes.
New
Debt
With
the exception of Permitted Indebtedness, Longfin has agreed that for a period of 90 days following payment in full of the Notes,
it will not incur any other debt.
Investor
Warrant
In
addition to the Notes, Longfin issued the 5-year Investor Warrant for the purchase of 55% of the shares of Class A Stock that
would be issuable upon full conversion of the Notes immediately following the Closing Date (the “Warrant Shares”),
at an exercise price of $38.5493 per share, the number of Warrant Shares and exercise price each being subject to adjustment provided
under the Investor Warrant. If, after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date of the Investor Warrant, there is no effective
registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Investor,
then the Investor Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise”. The Investor
Warrant may not be exercised if, after giving effect to the exercise the Investor, together with its Attribution Parties (as defined
in the Investor Warrant), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Class A Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares. At the Investor’s option, the ownership limitation
blocker may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, as applicable, except that any raise will only
be effective upon 61-days’ prior notice to Longfin. In addition, the Warrants may not be exercised and shares of Class
A Stock may not be issued under the Warrants if such exercise or issuance would be in excess of that amount permitted under
the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market prior to effectiveness of stockholder approval of the Note Financing. In addition, initially
only approximately 144,043 Warrants may be exercised by the Investor, which amount shall be increased upon each Investor prepayment
under the Investor Notes.
On
or after the date of the SPA (the “Subscription Date”), if Longfin issues or sells common stock, or convertible securities
or options issuable or exchangeable into Class A Stock (a “New Issuance”), under which such common stock is
sold for a consideration per share less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price of the Investor Warrant will
be adjusted to the New Issuance price in accordance with the formulas provided in the Investor Warrant. Upon any adjustment to
the exercise price, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the Investor Warrant will be increased
or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of Warrant
Shares will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. In addition, if Longfin
sells Variable Price Securities (as defined in the Investor Warrant) after the Subscription Date, the Investor will have a right
to substitute the Variable Price (as defined in the Investor Warrant) for the exercise price under the Investor Warrant.
Registration
Rights Agreement
Under
the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into with the Investor on the Closing Date, Longfin is required to register
for resale the shares of Class A Stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes or upon exercise of the Investor
Warrant plus an additional number of shares so that the total number of shares of Class A Stock registered equals 150%
of (i) the sum of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) the sum of the maximum number of
shares issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrant. The Registration Rights Agreement requires Longfin to file the registration
statement within 60 days after the Closing Date and to have the registration statement declared effective 90 days after the Closing
Date (or 150 days after the Closing Date if the registration statement is subject to review by the SEC).
The
Registration Rights Agreement provides for the payment of liquidated damages of 2% of the product of (x) the number of shares
of Class A Stock required by the Registration Rights Agreement to be included in the registration statement and (y) the
Closing Sale Price as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the date a Registration Delay Payment, defined as the failure to
file the registration statement in the time required, the failure to have the registration statement declared effective in the
time required, the failure to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement or the failure to keep current public information
in the marketplace.
Longfin
is required to keep the registration statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to
Rule 415 for resales on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices at all times until the earlier of (i) the
date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Class A Stock issuable pursuant thereto without restriction pursuant
to Rule 144 or (ii) the date on which all of the Class A Stock covered by the registration statement shall have been sold.
Investor
Note
The
Investor Note was issued pursuant to an Investor Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Investor and be payable in
full thirty years from the date of issuance (the “Closing Date”). The Investor’s obligation to pay Longfin the
Investor Note Principal pursuant to the Investor Note is to be secured by $42,604,058.82, in the aggregate, in cash, cash equivalents,
any Group of Ten (“G10”) currency and any notes or other securities issued by any G10 country or securities issued
by a special purpose acquisition company. Longfin will receive the applicable portion of the Investor Note Principal then due
upon each voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Investor Note. The Investor may, at its option and at any time, voluntarily
prepay the Investor Note, in whole or in part. The Investor Note is also subject to mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part,
upon the occurrence of one or more of the following mandatory prepayment events:
(1)
Mandatory Prepayment upon Conversion of Notes – At any time (i) if Longfin receives a conversion notice from the Investor
in which all, or any part of the Notes to be converted included any Restricted Principal (as defined therein), and (ii) the Investor
receives a confirmation from Longfin’s transfer agent that it has been irrevocably instructed by Longfin to deliver to the
Investor the shares of Longfin Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the conversion notice.
(2)
Mandatory Prepayment upon Mandatory Prepayment Notices – Longfin may require the Investor to prepay the Investor Note by
delivering a mandatory prepayment notice to the Investor, subject to (i) the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, and (ii)
the Investor’s receipt of a valid written notice by Longfin electing to effect a mandatory conversion of Restricted Principal
(defined as $21.3 million on the 45
th
day following the resale eligibility date and an additional $21.3 million on
the 165
th
day following such date).
The
Investor Note also contains certain optional offset rights of Longfin and the Investor, which if exercised, would reduce the amount
outstanding under the Notes and the Investor Note by the same amount and, accordingly, the cash proceeds received by Longfin from
the Investor pursuant to the Note Financing.
Master
Netting Agreement
The
Company and the Investor have entered into a master netting agreement (the “Master Netting Agreement”) for the purpose
of clarifying for each party its right to net obligations that may arise under the Purchase Agreement, the Investor Notes and
the Series B Notes (collectively, the “Underlying Agreements”) upon the occurrence of certain events, including as
described above.
Voting
and Lockup Agreement
As
a condition to closing the Note Financing, Venkata Meenavalli, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Longfin,
who owns approximately 27.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding Class B Stock
and Stampede Capital Limited who owns approximately 62.4% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock (collectively, the “Principal
Stockholders”), have executed a Voting and Lockup Agreement with Longfin. Pursuant to the Voting and Lockup Agreement, the
Principal Stockholders agree to vote in favor of Longfin’s issuance of the Securities. The Voting and Lockup Agreements
also requires that, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date when all of the principal outstanding under
the Notes issued to the Investor consists of Restricted Principal thereunder, the Principal Stockholders will not (i) dispose
of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of Longfin, or establish or increase a put equivalent position
or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another,
in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any securities of Longfin owned directly by the Principal
Stockholders (including holding as a custodian) or (iii) permit to exist any security interest, lien, claim, pledge, option, right
of first refusal, agreement, or limitation on such Principal Stockholder’s voting rights, charge or other encumbrance of
any nature with respect to such Principal Stockholder’s securities in Longfin or (iv) engage in any hedging or other transaction
which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of such Principal Stockholders’
securities in Longfin or (v) directly or indirectly initiate, solicit or encourage any person to take actions which could reasonably
be expected to lead to the occurrence of any of the foregoing.
Placement
Agent Warrants
As
partial payment for its placement agent services, Joseph Gunnar & Co. LLC (“Gunnar”) was issued 5-year warrants
(the “Placement Agent Warrants”) for the purchase of 10% of the number of shares of Class A Stock into which the unrestricted
principal of the Notes becomes convertible (the “Gunnar Warrant Shares”), as and when applicable, at an exercise price
equal to the exercise price of the Warrants and otherwise on the same terms as the Investor Warrant. If, after the first anniversary
of the applicable issuance date of such Placement Agent Warrants, there is no effective registration statement registering, or
no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Gunnar Warrant Shares by Gunnar, then the Placement Agent Warrants may
also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise”. The Placement Agent Warrants may not be
exercised if, after giving effect to the exercise Gunnar, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%
of the number of shares of Longfin Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Gunnar Warrant
Shares. Upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to Longfin, Gunnar may increase or decrease the ownership limitation, provided
that the ownership limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of Class A Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of the Gunnar Warrant Shares. In addition, the Placement Agent Warrants may not be exercised
and shares of Longfin Common Stock may not be issued under the Placement Agent Warrants if such exercise or issuance would be
in excess of that amount permitted under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market prior to receipt of stockholder approval of the
Note Financing. In addition, initially only approximately 26,190 Placement Agent Warrants may be exercised by the Placement Agent,
which amount shall be increased upon each Investor prepayment under the Investor Notes.
Gunnar
is also entitled to receive 10% of the gross cash proceeds actually received by Longfin pursuant to payments by
the Investor under the Notes and the Investor Note.
ABSENCE
OF DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS
No
dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available to our stockholders under the DGCL in connection with the Note Financing Action.
ACTION
2 - TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION (the COI Action)
The
Company is currently authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock. The Amendment and Restatement of the Certificate
of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 to
Appendix
A
increases the authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock from 200,000,000
shares to 300,000,000 shares, provides for the Class B Stock to be convertible into shares of Class A Stock and adds customary
indemnification and elimination of personal liability provisions for the Company’s directors, officers and certain other
parties for whom such indemnification and elimination of personal liability is typically provided for by corporations organized
under the DGCL and consistent with the provisions of the Company’s current by-laws.
Of
the 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently authorized, 46,540,989 shares of Class A Stock and 30,000,000 shares of Class
B Stock were outstanding on February 28, 2018. No shares of Class C Common Stock are issued and outstanding.
Pursuant
to the amendment and restatement, Article III of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:
“The
total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is (i) 300,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), comprised of 200,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock,
75,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 25,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in this
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of Common Stock shall have the same rights
and powers, rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation
but excluding voting as described below), share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters, including:
|
A.
|
Subject
to the prior rights of holders of all classes and series of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends,
the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of any assets of
the Company legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board. Any dividends paid
to the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be paid pro rata, on an equal priority, pari passu basis, unless different
treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the applicable class of Common Stock treated adversely, voting separately as a class.
|
|
|
|
|
B.
|
The
Company shall not declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution to the holders of Common Stock payable in securities
of the Company unless the same dividend or distribution with the same record date and payment date shall be declared and paid
on all shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that (i) dividends or other distributions payable in shares of Class A Common
Stock or rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock
without the same dividend or distribution being declared and paid to the holders of the Class B Common Stock or Class C Common
Stock if, and only if, a dividend payable in shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, as applicable, or rights
to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable, are declared and paid to the holders of
Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock at the same rate and with the same record date and payment date; (ii) dividends
or other distributions payable in shares of Class B Common Stock or rights to acquire shares Class B Common Stock may be declared
and paid to the holders of Class B Common Stock without the same dividend or distribution being declared and paid to the holders
of the Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock if, and only if, a dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock
and Class C Common Stock, as applicable, or rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable,
are declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock at the same rate and with the same record
date and payment date and (iii) dividends or other distributions payable in shares of Class C Common Stock or rights to acquire
shares Class C Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class C Common Stock without the same dividend or distribution
being declared and paid to the holders of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock if, and only if, a dividend payable
in shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as applicable, or rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock
or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, are declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
at the same rate and with the same record date and payment date; and provided, further, that nothing in the foregoing shall
prevent the Company from declaring and paying dividends or other distributions payable in shares of one class of Common Stock
or rights to acquire one class of Common Stock to holders of all classes of Common Stock.
|
|
C.
|
Each
holder of shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held at the record date for the
determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, the date such
vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited.
|
|
|
|
|
D.
|
Each
holder of shares of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held at the record date for the
determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, the date such
vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited.
|
|
|
|
|
E.
|
Except
as required by law, the Class C Common Stock will have no voting rights and no holder thereof shall be entitled to vote on
any matter.
|
|
|
|
|
F.
|
Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and
Class C Common Stock will vote together and not as separate series or classes.
|
|
|
|
|
G.
|
The
number of authorized shares of Common Stock or any class thereof may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if-converted basis.
|
|
|
|
|
H.
|
If
the Company in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class
C Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of all Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and
manner.
|
|
|
|
|
I.
|
The
Class B Common Stock will be automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock on
the affirmative election of such holder. Such conversion will occur automatically without the need for any further action
by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company
or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable on such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock,
if any such certificates have been issued, are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or
the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes
an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.
On the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock so converted
will surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class
A Common Stock. Thereupon, if requested by any holder of Class B Common Stock, there will be issued and delivered to such
holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered were
convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred”
|
Purpose
of the Capital Increase Amendment
The
purpose of increasing our authorized capital is to authorize shares required to be reserved pursuant to the Note Financing and
the 2018 Plan and provide the Company with the necessary flexibility to implement potential corporate plans, including the issuance
of shares to raise capital, in connection with any possible acquisition or merger, the issuance of shares in connection with stock
splits or dividends, or the issuance or reservation of capital stock for equity awards to employees, officers and directors of
the Company. Such an increase will allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’
meeting, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company is or may be
listed.
The
increase in the Company’s authorized Class A Stock may give the Company the flexibility, in the future, to pursue acquisitions
or enter into transactions which the Board of Directors believes provide the potential for growth and profit. The additional authorized
shares could also be used by the Company, in the future, to raise cash through sales of stock to public and private investors.
The Company could also use the additional authorized shares for general corporate purposes such as stock dividends as well as
for the possible issuance of shares pursuant to employee benefit or compensation programs or plans. To the extent that additional
shares are available, transactions dependent upon the issuance of additional shares would be less likely to be undermined by delays
and uncertainties occasioned by the need to obtain stockholder authorization prior to the consummation of such transactions.
Effect
of the Capital Increase Amendment
The
increase in authorized capital stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. Additionally,
the Board of Directors will have the authority to issue authorized Class A Stock without requiring future stockholder approval
of such issuances, except as may be required by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or applicable law. To the extent
that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, they may also decrease the existing stockholders’ percentage
equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing stockholders.
The
increase in the authorized number of shares of Class A Stock and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect
of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by its stockholders. Shares of authorized
and unissued Class A Stock could, within the limits imposed by applicable law, be issued in one or more transactions which would
make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of additional stock could
have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Class A Stock and such additional
shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company.
The
Board of Directors is not currently aware of any attempt to take over or acquire the Company. While it may be deemed to have potential
anti-takeover effects, the capital increase amendment is not prompted by any specific effort or takeover threat currently perceived
by management.
Purpose
of the Convertibility Amendment
The
purpose of amending the terms of our outstanding Class B Stock is to provide the holder with the ability to freely convert such
shares into Class A Stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In connection with our IPO at the end of 2017, it was
originally our intention that our Chairman, Mr. Meenavalli, would be issued supervoting stock in the form of Class B Stock. After
determining that it would be best from a governance perspective if the Class B Stock were given one vote per share and to vote
together with the Class A Stock, we closed our IPO and are now seeking to provide Mr. Meenavalli the ability to freely convert
his Class B Stock into Class A Stock without the complications of transferring such shares in an exchange with the Company (the
terms of which may require approval by our Audit Committee) or otherwise potentially raising issues under the Voting and Lockup
Agreement described above, among other issues.
Effect
of the Convertibility Amendment
The
increase in authorized capital stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. In light of the
terms of the Voting and Lockup Agreement he is party to, Mr. Meenavalli is expected to retain his ownership of Class B Stock for
the foreseeable future, although it would be in his best interests that the shares be freely convertible on the terms set forth
above.
Purpose
of the Indemnity Amendment
The
purpose of adding customary indemnification and elimination of personal liability provisions for the Company’s directors,
officers and certain other parties for whom such indemnification and elimination of personal liability is typically provided for
by corporations organized under the DGCL is to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain experienced directors, executive
officers and others entitled to such protection. The Company currently provides such protections in its by-laws and understands
that such individuals also typically request for similar provisions to be included in the issuer’s certificate of incorporation.
The Company does not believe it would be able so to attract and retain these individuals with these provisions.
Effect
of the Indemnity Amendment
The
increase in authorized capital stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders.
ABSENCE
OF DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS
No
dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available to our stockholders under the DGCL in connection with the COI Action.
ACTION
3 - TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY’S BY-LAWS (the By-laws Action)
Purpose
of the Amendment and Restatement
The
Company’s current bylaws are its original bylaws which were adopted upon its formation. The Board of Directors believes
that the current bylaws of the Company either hinder or restrict the board and the Company from taking actions that would be in
the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and contain provisions regarding voting of its different classes of stock
that may be ineffective under or inconsistent with the DGCL.
The
Amended Bylaws in the form attached as Exhibit A-2 to
Appendix A
, among other things provides for (subject to the
provisions of the DGCL):
●
A board of directors comprised of those number of persons as may be fixed, increased and decreased by the directors from time
to time, rather than the stockholders and/or the directors;
●
Approval of stockholder actions by a greater number of votes cast for than against the action at a meeting of stockholders;
●
Removal of certain super-voting provisions relating to our different classes of Common Stock; and
●
Amendment, alternation and repeal of the bylaws by the board of directors.
ABSENCE
OF DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS
No
dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available to our stockholders under the DGCL in connection with the By-laws Action.
ACTION
4 - TO APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF THE COMPANY’S 2018 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (the Incentive Plan Action)
The
Board believes that implementing the 2018 Plan will be beneficial to provide flexibility to the Compensation Committee of the
Board to launch an equity award program over a multi-year period as contemplated at the time of the Company’s IPO and listing
on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The 2018 Plan in the form of Exhibit B to
Appendix
A
authorizes the grant of awards relating to up to 2 million shares of our Class
A Stock. No equity grants have been made or will be made under the 2018 Plan unless and until the effectiveness of stockholder
approval.
As
set forth below, the Company expects to use equity grants as a key part of the compensation for its employees, including our executive
officers. These annual restricted equity grants are expected to vest over several years, are expected to be contingent upon the
future stock price performance exceeding the price at which the restricted equity was originally granted and are subject to restrictions
on transfer for several years after grant. This directly ties the value of the compensation for the grantees not only to our evaluation
of their performance in the year of grant, but also to the ultimate total return to our stockholders over a multi-year period.
The Board believes that implementation of the 2018 Plan is critical to attracting and retaining well-qualified employees in a
competitive labor market and that the 2018 Plan will provide a significant incentive for our employees, directors and consultants
to increase the value of the company for all stockholders, which is essential to our long-term growth and success. The Board believes
that the number of shares authorized under the 2018 Plan reflect an appropriate balance between providing us with the flexibility
to structure competitive compensation packages and stockholder dilution concerns.
The
2018 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, or in the absence of the Compensation Committee, the entire Board.
The Compensation Committee has sole authority to interpret the 2018 Plan and set the terms of all awards, including, without limitation,
determining the performance goals associated with performance-based awards, determining the recipients of awards, determining
the types of awards to be granted, and making policies and procedures relating to administration of the 2018 Plan.
The
purpose of the 2018 Plan is to allow us to continue to provide incentives to such participants who are responsible for our success
and growth, assist us in attracting, rewarding and retaining employees of experience and ability, facilitate the completion of
strategic acquisitions, link incentives with increases in stockholder value and to further align participants’ interests
with those of other stockholders. In general, the 2018 Plan empowers us to grant stock options and stock appreciation rights,
and performance-based cash and stock and other equity based awards, including restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees,
officers, directors, advisors and consultants. The 2018 Plan will also continue to allow us to grant performance-based compensation
awards that meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, thereby preserving our ability to receive tax
deductions for the awards.
The
2018 Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Board, except that (a) no amendment shall be made that would impair the
rights of any participant under any award theretofore granted without the participant’s consent, and (b) no amendment shall
be made which, without the adoption of our stockholders, would (i) materially increase the number of shares that may be issued
under the 2018 Plan, except as the Compensation Committee may appropriately make adjustments; (ii) materially increase the benefits
accruing to the participants under the 2018 Plan; (iii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation
in the 2018 Plan; (iv) decrease the exercise price of an option to less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined under the
2018 Plan) per share of Class A Stock on the date of grant thereof; or (v) extend the term of any option beyond ten years.
No
award may be granted under the 2018 Plan after January 29, 2028.

|
|
D.
|
Each
holder of shares of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held at the record date for the
determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, the date such

or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable on such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock,
if any such certificates have been issued, are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or
the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes
an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.
On the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock so converted
will surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class
A Common Stock. Thereupon, if requested by any holder of Class B Common Stock, there will be issued and delivered to such
holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered were
convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred

eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated
or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

Indemnified Person
”)

civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “
Proceeding
”), by reason of the fact that such person,
or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while
a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit
entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
except as otherwise provided in Paragraph C of this Article V, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified

|
C.
|
Claims

within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Corporation, the
Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall
be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of
proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable
law.
|
|
|
|
|
D.
|
Indemnification
of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened
to be made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person
is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or, while an employee or agent of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of
a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of
persons who are non-director or officer employees or agents shall be made in such manner as is determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify

Other
Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request
as a director, officer or employee of another Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization
or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other Corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

officers and employees under the provisions of this Article V; and (b) to indemnify or insure directors, officers and employees
against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this
Article V.
|

or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article V shall not adversely affect any right or

Right to Indemnification
.
Each
person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged
action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director,
officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the
Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the
Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection
therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this ARTICLE VIII with respect to proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Section
2.
Right to Advancement of Expenses
.
The
right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this ARTICLE VIII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the
expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter
an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement
of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made
only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee,
to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further
right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such
expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in sections
Section 1 and Section 2 of this ARTICLE VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors
and administrators.
Section
3.
Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit
.
If
a claim under Section 1 and Section 2 of this ARTICLE VIII is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after
a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case
the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation
to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation
to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification
hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense
that, and (ii) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking,
the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable
standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement
of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard
of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such
a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification
or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of
expenses, under this ARTICLE VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
Section
4.
Non-Exclusivity of Rights
.
The
rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE VIII shall not be exclusive of any other
right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section
5.
Insurance
.

Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether
or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware
General Corporation Law.
Section
6.
Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation
.
The
Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to
the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article
with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

issued under the Plan shall not exceed Two Million (2,000,000) Shares. Shares shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan
solely to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an Award. To the extent that an Award lapses, expires, is canceled,
is terminated unexercised or ceases to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its Holder terminate, any Shares subject
to such Award shall again be available for the grant of a new Award. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary,
the maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Awards of Options under Article VII and/or Stock Appreciation Rights under

(subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Article XV with respect to Shares subject to Awards then outstanding).

the date of such Termination of Service;
(ii)
If such termination is on account of the Holder’s Total and Permanent Disability, one (1) year after the date of such Termination
of Service; or
(iii)

Longfin
Corp. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
Upon
such applicable date the Holder (and such Holder’s estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative) shall forfeit
any rights or interests in or with respect to any such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for a different time period in the Award Agreement, or may extend the time period,
following a Termination of Service, during which the Holder has the right to exercise any vested Non-qualified Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right, which time period may not extend beyond the expiration date of the Award term.
(b)
In the event of a Holder’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the actual or deemed satisfaction and/or lapse
of the Restrictions, vesting requirements, terms and conditions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award and/or Restricted Stock
Unit Award, such Restricted Stock and/or RSUs shall immediately be canceled, and the Holder (and such Holder’s estate, designated
beneficiary or other legal representative) shall forfeit any rights or interests in and with respect to any such Restricted Stock
and/or RSUs. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine, prior to
or within thirty (30) days after the date of such Termination of Service that all or a portion of any such Holder’s Restricted
Stock and/or RSUs shall not be so canceled and forfeited.
6.3
Special Termination Rule.
Except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if a Holder’s employment with, or status as a Director of, the Company
or an Affiliate shall terminate, and if, within ninety (90) days of such termination, such Holder shall become a Consultant, such
Holder’s rights with respect to any Award or portion thereof granted thereto prior to the date of such termination may be
preserved, if and to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as if such Holder had been a Consultant for
the entire period during which such Award or portion thereof had been outstanding. Should the Committee effect such determination
with respect to such Holder, for all purposes of the Plan, such Holder shall not be treated as if his or her employment or Director
status had terminated until such time as his or her Consultant status shall terminate, in which case his or her Award, as it may
have been reduced in connection with the Holder’s becoming a Consultant, shall be treated pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.2, provided, however, that any such Award which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall, upon the Holder’s
no longer being an Employee, automatically convert to a Non-qualified Stock Option. Should a Holder’s status as a Consultant
terminate, and if, within ninety (90) days of such termination, such Holder shall become an Employee or a Director, such Holder’s
rights with respect to any Award or portion thereof granted thereto prior to the date of such termination may be preserved, if
and to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as if such Holder had been an Employee or a Director, as
applicable, for the entire period during which such Award or portion thereof had been outstanding, and, should the Committee effect
such determination with respect to such Holder, for all purposes of the Plan, such Holder shall not be treated as if his or her
Consultant status had terminated until such time as his or her employment with the Company or an Affiliate, or his or her Director
status, as applicable, shall terminate, in which case his or her Award shall be treated pursuant to the provisions of Section
6.2.
Longfin
Corp. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

for Cause, all of such Holder’s then outstanding Awards shall expire immediately and be forfeited in their entirety upon
such Termination of Service.
Article
VII
OPTIONS
7.1
Option Period
. The term of each Option shall be as specified in the Option Agreement;
provided
,
however
,
that except as set forth in Section 7.3, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of
its grant.
7.2
Limitations on Exercise of Option
. An Option shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as
specified in the Option Agreement.
7.3
Special Limitations on Incentive Stock Options
. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time
the respective Incentive Stock Option is granted) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for
the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and any parent corporation or subsidiary
corporation thereof (both as defined in Section 424 of the Code) which provide for the grant of Incentive Stock Options exceeds
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (or such other individual limit as may be in effect under the Code on the date of grant),
the portion of such Incentive Stock Options that exceeds such threshold shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options. The Committee
shall determine, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations and other administrative pronouncements,
which of a Holder’s Options, which were intended by the Committee to be Incentive Stock Options when granted to the Holder,
will not constitute Incentive Stock Options because of such limitation, and shall notify the Holder of such determination as soon
as practicable after such determination. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an Employee if, at the time the Incentive
Stock Option is granted, such Employee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, unless (i) at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted
the Option price is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Incentive Stock
Option, and (ii) such Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date
of grant. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted more than ten (10) years from the earlier of the Effective Date or date on
which the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders. The designation by the Committee of an Option as an Incentive
Stock Option shall not guarantee the Holder that the Option will satisfy the applicable requirements for “incentive stock
option” status under Section 422 of the Code.
Longfin
Corp. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
7.4
Option Agreement
. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in such form and containing such provisions not
inconsistent with the other provisions of the Plan as the Committee from time to time shall approve, including, but not limited
to, provisions intended to qualify an Option as an Incentive Stock Option. An Option Agreement may provide for the payment of
the Option price, in whole or in part, by the delivery of a number of Shares (plus cash if necessary) that have been owned by
the Holder for at least six (6) months and having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option price, or such other forms or methods
as the Committee may determine from time to time, in each case, subject to such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the
Committee. Each Option Agreement shall, solely to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4, as
applicable, specify the effect of Termination of Service on the exercisability of the Option. Moreover, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, a Non-qualified Stock Option Agreement may provide for a “cashless exercise” of the Option, in whole
or in part, by (a) establishing procedures whereby the Holder, by a properly-executed written notice, directs (i) an immediate
market sale or margin loan as to all or a part of Shares to which he is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Option, pursuant
to an extension of credit by the Company to the Holder of the Option price, (ii) the delivery of the Shares from the Company directly
to a brokerage firm and (iii) the delivery of the Option price from sale or margin loan proceeds from the brokerage firm directly
to the Company, or (b) reducing the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option by the number of such Shares having
an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Option price (or portion thereof to be so paid) as of the date of the Option’s
exercise. An Option Agreement may also include provisions relating to: (i) subject to the provisions hereof, accelerated vesting
of Options, including but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, (ii) tax matters (including provisions covering
any applicable Employee wage withholding requirements and requiring additional “gross-up” payments to Holders to meet
any excise taxes or other additional income tax liability imposed as a result of a payment made upon a Change of Control resulting
from the operation of the Plan or of such Option Agreement) and (iii) any other matters not inconsistent with the terms and provisions
of the Plan that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine. The terms and conditions of the respective Option Agreements
need not be identical.
7.5
Option Price and Payment
. The price at which an Share may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be determined by
the Committee;
provided
,
however
, that such Option price (i) shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of an
Share on the date such Option is granted (or 110% of Fair Market Value for an Incentive Stock Option held by Ten Percent Stockholder,
as provided in Section 7.3), and (ii) shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article XV. The Option or portion thereof
may be exercised by delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise to the Company. The Option price for the Option or portion thereof
shall be paid in full in the manner prescribed by the Committee as set forth in the Plan and the applicable Option Agreement,
which manner, with the consent of the Committee, may include the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the
exercise of the Option. Separate share certificates shall be issued by the Company for those Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise
of an Incentive Stock Option and for those Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Non-qualified Stock Option.
7.6
Stockholder Rights and Privileges
. The Holder of an Option shall be entitled to all the privileges and rights of a stockholder
of the Company solely with respect to such Shares as have been purchased under the Option and for which share certificates have
been registered in the Holder’s name.
Longfin
Corp. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
7.7
Options and Rights in Substitution for Stock or Options Granted by Other Corporations
. Options may be granted under the
Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by individuals employed by entities who become Employees, Directors
or Consultants as a result of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity with the Company or any Affiliate, or the acquisition
by the Company or an Affiliate of the assets of the employing entity, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of stock
or shares of the employing entity with the result that such employing entity becomes an Affiliate.
7.8
Prohibition Against Re-Pricing
. Except to the extent (i) approved in advance by holders of a majority of the shares of
the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, or (ii) as a result of any Change of Control or any adjustment
as provided in Article XV, the Committee shall not have the power or authority to reduce, whether through amendment or otherwise,
the exercise price under any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or to grant any new Award or make any payment of
cash in substitution for or upon the cancellation of Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights previously granted.
Article
VIII
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
8.1
Award

Award. Each Restricted Stock Award may have a different Restriction Period, in the discretion of the Committee. The Restriction
Period applicable to a particular Restricted Stock Award shall not be changed except as permitted by Section 8.2.

or the stock transfer agent or brokerage service selected by the Company to provide services for the Plan. The Shares shall be
restricted from transfer and shall be subject to an appropriate stop-transfer order, and if any certificate is issued, such certificate
shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to the Shares. After any Shares vest, the Company shall
deliver the vested Shares, in book-entry or certificated form in the Company’s sole discretion, registered in the name of
Holder or his or her legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be, less any Shares withheld to pay withholding
taxes. If provided for under the Restricted Stock Agreement, the Holder shall have the right to vote Shares subject thereto and
to enjoy all other stockholder rights, including the entitlement to receive dividends on the Shares during the Restriction Period.
At the time of such Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe additional terms and conditions or restrictions
relating to Restricted Stock Awards, including, but not limited to, rules pertaining to the effect of Termination of Service prior
to expiration of the Restriction Period. Such additional terms, conditions or restrictions shall, to the extent inconsistent with
the provisions of Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4, as applicable, be set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement made in conjunction with
the Award. Such Restricted Stock Agreement may also include provisions relating to: (i) subject to the provisions hereof, accelerated
vesting of Awards, including but not limited to accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, (ii) tax matters
(including provisions covering any applicable Employee wage withholding requirements and requiring additional “gross-up”
payments to Holders to meet any excise taxes or other additional income tax liability imposed as a result of a payment made in
connection with a Change of Control resulting from the operation of the Plan or of such Restricted Stock Agreement) and (iii)
any other matters not inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine.
The terms and conditions of the respective Restricted Stock Agreements need not be identical. All Shares delivered to a Holder
as part of a Restricted Stock Award shall be delivered and reported by the Company or the Affiliate, as applicable, to the Holder
at the time of vesting.

Restriction Period, in the discretion of the Committee. A Restricted Stock Unit shall not constitute an equity interest in the
Company and shall not entitle the Holder to voting rights, dividends or any other rights associated with ownership of Shares prior

which the Holder would be required to satisfy before the Holder would become entitled to distribution pursuant to Section 10.3
and the number of Units awarded to the Holder. Such conditions shall be sufficient to constitute a “substantial risk of
forfeiture” as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code. At the time of such Award, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, prescribe additional terms and conditions or restrictions relating to Restricted Stock Unit Awards in the Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement, including, but not limited to, rules pertaining to the effect of Termination of Service prior to expiration
of the applicable vesting period. The terms and conditions of the respective Restricted Stock Unit Agreements need not be identical.

Fair Market Value of an Share, or one Share, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement, for each Restricted Stock Unit subject to such Restricted Stock Unit Award, if the Holder satisfies the
applicable vesting requirement. Such distribution shall be made no later than by the fifteenth (15
th
) day of the third

(i.e., no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture”).

14.2
Terms and Conditions
. At the time any Award is made under this Article XIV, the Company and the Holder shall enter into
a Stock Appreciation Right Agreement setting forth each of the matters contemplated thereby and such other matters as the Committee
may determine to be appropriate. The Committee shall set forth in the applicable Stock Appreciation Right Agreement the terms

provided
,
however
, that no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable after the expiration

of both, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, equal to the product of:
(a)
The excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of an Share on the date of exercise, over (ii) the Base Value, multiplied by,
(b)
The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

(b)
The Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for all or part of the Shares which are subject to the related Option, but
solely upon the surrender by the Holder of the Holder’s right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option (and
when a Share is purchased under the related Option, an equivalent portion of the related Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall
be canceled);

(d)
The value of the payment with respect to the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be no more than one hundred percent (100%) of
the difference between the per Share exercise price under the related Option and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to
the related Option at the time the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, multiplied by the number of the Shares with respect
to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is exercised; and
(e)
The Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised solely when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the related Option
exceeds the per Share exercise price under the related Option.
Article
XV
RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION
15.1
Adjustments to Shares
. The shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan are Shares as presently constituted;
provided
,
however
, that if, and whenever, prior to the expiration or distribution to the Holder of Shares underlying
an Award theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of the Shares or the payment of an Share
dividend on Shares without receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of Shares with respect to which such Award may
thereafter be exercised or satisfied, as applicable, (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding Shares, shall
be proportionately increased, and the purchase price per Share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction
in the number of outstanding Shares, shall be proportionately reduced, and the purchase price per Share shall be proportionately
increased. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Article XV, any adjustment made with respect to an Award
(x) which is an Incentive Stock Option, shall comply with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code, and in no event shall
any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan to be other than an “incentive
stock option” for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, and (y) which is a Non-qualified Stock Option, shall comply with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Non-qualified
Stock Option granted under the Plan to become subject to Section 409A of the Code.
15.2
Recapitalization
. If the Company recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure, thereafter upon any exercise
or satisfaction, as applicable, of a previously granted Award, the Holder shall be entitled to receive (or entitled to purchase,
if applicable) under such Award, in lieu of the number of Shares then covered by such Award, the number and class of shares and
securities to which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to
such recapitalization, the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of Shares then covered by such Award.

15.3
Other Events
. In the event of changes to the outstanding Shares by reason of an extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, combination, split-up, spin-off, exchange or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the
date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for under this Article XV, any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements
evidencing such Awards shall be adjusted by the Board in its discretion in such manner as the Board shall deem equitable or appropriate
taking into consideration the applicable accounting and tax consequences, as to the number and price of Shares or other consideration
subject to such Awards. In the event of any adjustment pursuant to Sections 15.1, 15.2 or this Section 15.3, the aggregate number
of Shares available under the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1 (and the Code Section 162(m) limit set forth therein) may be appropriately
adjusted by the Board, the determination of which shall be conclusive. In addition, the Committee may make provision for a cash
payment to a Holder or a person who has an outstanding Award. In addition, the Committee may make provision for a cash payment
to a Holder or a person who has an outstanding Award.
15.5
Change of Control
. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at the time an Award is made or at any time prior to, coincident
with or after the time of a Change of Control, cause any Award either (i) to be canceled in consideration of a payment in cash
or other consideration in amount per share equal to the excess, if any, of the price or implied price per Share in the Change
of Control over the per Share exercise, base or purchase price of such Award, which may be paid immediately or over the vesting
schedule of the Award; (ii) to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefore, by the surviving corporation or a parent or subsidiary
of such surviving corporation following such Change of Control; (iii) accelerate any time periods, or waive any other conditions,
relating to the vesting, exercise, payment or distribution of an Award so that any Award to a Holder whose employment has been
terminated as a result of a Change of Control may be vested, exercised, paid or distributed in full on or before a date fixed
by the Committee; (iv) to be purchased from a Holder whose employment has been terminated as a result of a Change of Control,
upon the Holder’s request, for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise, payment
or distribution of such rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable; or (v) terminate any then outstanding Award
or make any other adjustment to the Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect such transaction
or change. The number of Shares subject to any Award shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
15.6
Powers Not Affected
. The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Board or of the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization
or other change of the Company’s capital structure or business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of
debt or equity securities ahead of or affecting Shares or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or
any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.
15.7
No Adjustment for Certain Awards

class or securities convertible into shares of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise
of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares
or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect previously granted Awards, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of Shares subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price

of the date on which it is adopted by the Board (except as to Awards outstanding on that date). The Board in its discretion may
terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which Awards have not theretofore been granted;
provided
,
however
, that the Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a Holder with respect
to any Award theretofore granted without the consent of the Holder. The Board shall have the right to alter or amend the Plan
or any part hereof from time to time;
provided
,
however
, that without the approval by a majority of the votes cast

the benefits accruing to Holders, (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided in Article XV, materially increase the number of
Shares subject to the Plan or the individual Award Agreements specified in Article V, (iii) materially modify the requirements
for participation in the Plan, or (iv) amend, modify or suspend Section 7.7 (re-pricing prohibitions) or this Article XVI. In
addition, no change in any Award theretofore granted may be made which would materially and adversely impair the rights of a Holder
with respect to such Award without the consent of the Holder (unless such change is required in order to cause the benefits under
the Plan to qualify as “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or to exempt
the Plan or any Award from Section 409A of the Code).

to recognize the exercise of any Award or to otherwise sell or issue Shares in violation of any laws, rules or regulations, and
any postponement of the exercise or settlement of any Award under this provision shall not extend the term of such Award. Neither
the Company nor its directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to a Holder with respect to any Award (or Shares

of any applicable law, rules or regulations, including but not limited to any failure to comply with the requirements of Section

any Award satisfied in the form of Shares, no Shares shall be issued unless and until arrangements satisfactory to the Company

designations, be in a form prescribed by the Company and be effective solely when filed by the Holder in writing with the Company
during the Holder’s lifetime. In the absence of any such written beneficiary designation, for purposes of the Plan, a Holder’s
beneficiary shall be the Holder’s estate.
17.7
Rule 16b-3
. It is intended that the Plan and any Award made to a person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall

deemed to have been amended as necessary to conform to the requirements of Rule 16b-3.
17.8
Section 162(m)
. The following conditions shall apply if it is intended that the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code
be satisfied such that Awards under the Plan which are made to Holders who are “covered employees” (as defined in
Section 162(m) of the Code) shall constitute “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)
of the Code: Any Performance Goal(s) applicable to Qualified Performance-Based Awards shall be objective, shall be established
not later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of any applicable Performance Period (or at such other date as may be required
or permitted for “performance-based” compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code) and shall otherwise meet the requirements
of Section 162(m) of the Code, including the requirement that the outcome of the Performance Goal or Goals be substantially uncertain
(as defined in the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code) at the time established. The Performance Criteria to be utilized
under the Plan to establish Performance Goals shall consist of objective tests based on one or more of the following: earnings
or earnings per share, cash flow or cash flow per share, operating cash flow or operating cash flow per share revenue growth,
product revenue growth, financial return ratios (such as return on equity, return on investment and/or return on assets), share
price performance, stockholder return, equity and/or value, operating income, operating margins, earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, earnings, pre- or post-tax income, economic value added (or an equivalent metric), profit returns
and margins, credit quality, sales growth, market share, working capital levels, comparisons with various share market indices,
year-end cash, debt reduction, assets under management, operating efficiencies, strategic partnerships or transactions (including
co-development, co-marketing, profit sharing, joint venture or other similar arrangements), and/or financing and other capital
raising transaction. Performance criteria may be established on a Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more Company business
units or divisions or subsidiaries; and either in absolute terms, relative to the performance of one or more similarly situated
companies, or relative to the performance of an index covering a peer group of companies. When establishing Performance Goals
for the applicable Performance Period, the Committee may exclude any or all “extraordinary items” as determined under
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles including, without limitation, the charges or costs associated with restructurings
of the Company, discontinued operations, other unusual or non-recurring items, and the cumulative effects of accounting changes,
and as identified in the Company’s financial statements, notes to the Company’s financial statements or management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s most recent annual report
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. Holders who are “covered employees”
(as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code) shall be eligible to receive payment under a Qualified Performance-Based Award which
is subject to achievement of a Performance Goal or Goals only if the applicable Performance Goal or Goals are achieved within
the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the Committee. If any provision of the Plan would disqualify the Plan or would
not otherwise permit the Plan to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code as so intended, such provision shall be construed or deemed
amended to conform to the requirements or provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may postpone the exercising
of Awards, the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Award or any action permitted under the Plan to prevent the Company or
any subsidiary from being denied a federal income tax deduction, provided that such deferral satisfies the requirements of Section
409A of the Code. For purposes of the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(4)(i), the maximum aggregate amount
that may be paid in cash during any calendar year to any one person (measured from the date of any payment) with respect to one
or more Awards payable in cash shall be Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

17.10
Section 409A
. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee shall have no authority to issue an Award
under the Plan with terms and/or conditions which would cause such Award to constitute non-qualified “deferred compensation”
under Section 409A of the Code unless such Award shall be structured to be exempt from or comply with all requirements of Code
Section 409A. The Plan and all Award Agreements are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or to
be exempt therefrom) and shall be so interpreted and construed and no amount shall be paid or distributed from the Plan unless
and until such payment complies with all requirements of Code Section 409A. It is the intent of the Company that the provisions
of this Agreement and all other plans and programs sponsored by the Company be interpreted to comply in all respects with Code
Section 409A, however, the Company shall have no liability to the Holder, or any successor or beneficiary thereof, in the event
taxes, penalties or excise taxes may ultimately be determined to be applicable to any payment or benefit received by the Holder
or any successor or beneficiary thereof.

Indemnification
. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred
thereby in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such person may be made a party or
may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid thereby
in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid thereby in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action,
suit, or proceeding against such person;
provided
,
however
, that such person shall give the Company an opportunity,
at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.
The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive and shall be independent of any other rights of indemnification
to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, by contract, as a matter
of law, or otherwise.

salary or compensation for the purposes of determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, life insurance or other benefit
plan of the Company or any Affiliate, unless such other plan specifically provides for the inclusion of such Award, payment or
amount received. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company to establish other plans or to pay compensation
to its employees, in cash or property, in a manner which is not expressly authorized under the Plan.
