A list of stockholders of record will be available electronically during the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in "street name," meaning they are held for your account by a broker, bank or other nominee, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that nominee. The nominee holding for your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you may vote:

(1) Over the Internet: You will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee stating if they permit Internet voting and, if they do, explaining how to do so. You should follow those instructions.

(2) By Mail: You will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee explaining how you can vote your shares by mail. You should follow those instructions.

(3) Online at the virtual Annual Meeting: If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to gain access to the virtual Annual Meeting to vote your shares during the meeting or ask questions during the meeting. You will not be able to vote at the meeting unless you have submitted proof of a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee issued in your name giving you the right to vote your shares.

The shares represented by any proxy card which is properly executed and received by the Company prior to or at the Annual Meeting (each, a "Conforming Proxy") will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon. Conforming Proxies on a Proxy Card on which no specifications have been made by the stockholder will be voted in favor of the proposals described in the Proxy Statement. The Board of Directors is not aware of any matters that are expected to come before the Annual Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement. However, if any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the Proxy Card will vote the shares represented by each Conforming Proxy on a Proxy Card on those matters as instructed by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of express instructions from the Board of Directors, in accordance with their own best judgment. For information regarding the revocation of a Conforming Proxy, please see "Revocation of Proxies".

Proof of Ownership Required for Attending the Annual Meeting Online

You are entitled to attend the virtual Annual Meeting only if you are a stockholder of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), as of the close of business on October 18, 2024, the record date set by the Board of Directors (the "Record Date") or hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner of Common Stock that is held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will need to submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your ownership of the Company's common stock, along with your name and email address to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Requests for registration must be labelled as "Legal Proxy" and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on November 22, 2024. Forward the email from your broker and attach an image of your legal proxy to www.cstproxy.com.

Quorum

The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, online or present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. Shares of Common Stock represented by Conforming Proxies will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum without regard as to whether the proxy is marked as casting a vote for or against a proposal, withholding a vote or abstaining. Shares of Common Stock represented by Conforming Proxies that are voted on at least one matter coming before the Annual Meeting will also be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum, even if the beneficial owner's discretion has been withheld (a "broker non-vote") for voting on some or all other matters. For information regarding broker non-votes, please see "Revocation of Proxies." As of October 18, 2024, the record date, there was issued and outstanding 5,577,698 shares of common stock entitled to one vote per share.

Required Vote

Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock.

Proposal No. 1, concerning the six directors will be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. You may either vote FOR or WITHHOLD for the Company's director nominees. If you withhold authority to vote with respect to any nominee, your shares will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes are not deemed "votes cast" with respect to proposal 1 and therefore will have no effect on the vote.

PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS' NOMINEES BY VOTING FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' NOMINEES ON THE PROXY CARD.

Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Nevada law, proposals 2, 3and 4 will require the affirmative "FOR" votes of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. You may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN on proposals 2, 3 and 4.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING FOR PROPOSALS 2, 3 and 4.

If you abstain from voting on any of such proposals, your shares will nevertheless be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal Numbers 2, 3 and 4.

If your shares are registered in your name, your shares will not be voted unless you provide a proxy by Internet or mail or vote at the virtual Annual Meeting. If you hold shares through an account with a bank, broker, or other nominee, your shares will not be voted, except with respect to certain routine matters, unless you provide voting instructions. Broker non-votes, if any, are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved, except in the case of certain "routine" matters. Broker non-votes occur when brokers, banks and other nominees do not receive voting instructions from their customers, and the broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to a proposal. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and you do not give instructions as to how to vote, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, your broker, bank or other nominee may have authority to vote your shares on certain routine matters but not on non-routine matters. If the nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the nominee that holds your shares will inform us that it does not have the authority to vote on such matter with respect to your shares. Typically, "non-routine" matters include the election of directors, approval of Compensation plans and Say On Pay and "routine" matters include ratification of the appointment of independent auditors. Therefore, please instruct your broker how to vote your shares on these matters promptly. We will publish final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days from the date of the Annual Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

We are required by law to convene an Annual Meeting of our stockholders at which directors are elected. Because our shares are widely held, it would be impractical for our stockholders to meet physically in sufficient numbers to hold a meeting. Accordingly, proxies are solicited from our stockholders. United States federal securities laws require us to send you this Proxy Statement and specify the information required to be contained in it. This solicitation of proxies is being made by the Board of Directors of the Company and all expenses of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. These costs will include, among other items, the expense of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing the proxy materials to stockholders of record and beneficial owners, and reimbursements paid to brokerage firms, banks and other fiduciaries for their reasonable out of pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to stockholders and obtaining beneficial owner's voting instructions. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone. We may also solicit proxies by email from stockholders who are our employees or who previously requested to receive proxy materials electronically.

Revocation of Proxies

A stockholder of record who has executed and delivered a Conforming Proxy may revoke such Conforming Proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by (i) timely completing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, (ii) voting on a later date by using the Internet, (iii) delivering a written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting or (iv) attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually. Only a stockholder's latest proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted. A stockholder's attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke such stockholder's proxy unless such stockholder votes at the Annual Meeting or specifically requests in writing that his or her prior proxy be revoked.

If you are a beneficial owner, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker in accordance with such broker's procedures.

Other Matters

If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, or if you need additional copies of the proxy materials, please contact: Surge Components, Inc., 95 East Jefryn Blvd., Deer Park, New York 11729, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

PROPOSAL NO. 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors' terms expire at the stockholders meeting in the year set forth in the below chart:

At this Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect each of the director nominees listed above to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.

Pursuant to the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has nominated each of the six listed director nominees, who each currently serve as a director, to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

The basic responsibility of a Company director is to exercise his or her business judgment prudently and act in a manner that he or she believes in good faith to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board consider individuals who have records for leadership and success in their areas of activity and who will make meaningful contributions to the Board. Nominees for director are selected on the basis of Board experience, character, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, business background, as well as an understanding of the Company's business environment.

We believe that each of the director nominees brings these qualifications in a positive manner to our Board of Directors. Moreover, the director nominees provide our Board with a complement of specific business skills, experience and perspectives.

We have been advised by each of the six director nominees that they are willing to be named as nominees, and each is willing to continue to serve as a director if elected. If some unexpected occurrence should make necessary, in the discretion of the Board, the substitution of some other person for the nominees, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote for the election of such other person as may be designated by the Board.

Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons

The following is a description of transactions with our executive officers, directors or 5% stockholders during the past two years. We believe that all of the transactions described below were made on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. All future related party transactions will be approved by our audit committee or a majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in the transaction and who will have access, at our expense, to our independent legal counsel. Surge and Challenge each lease their current executive offices from Great American Realty of Jefryn Blvd., LLC, an entity owned 50% by Ira Levy, our Chief Executive Officer, and President and Steven Lubman, our Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in the ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Such persons are required to furnish us copies of all Section 16(a) filings.

Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, we believe that our officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our common stock complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023.

Required Vote

Each nominee shall be elected by a plurality of voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

If stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP, the Audit Committee will consider the appointment of another independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025.

Management has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to adopt the 2024 Plan, pursuant to which we will be able to grant awards of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent awards, and other stock- and cash-based awards.

Summary of Material Terms of the 2024 Plan

The following is a summary of the material features of the 2024 Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2024 Plan, a copy of which is included as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Purpose

The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to enhance the ability of the Company to attract, retain and motivate persons who make important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and/or equity-linked compensatory opportunities. Equity awards and equity-linked compensatory opportunities are intended to assist in further aligning the interests of directors, employees, and consultants with those of our stockholders.

Eligibility

The Administrator may grant awards to any director, employee or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries. Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, approximately 48 individuals will be eligible to participate in the 2024 Plan, which includes approximately 4 non-employee directors and 44 employees.

Administration

The 2024 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors (the "Board") or one more committees or subcommittees of the Board (initially the Compensation Committee), which will be comprised, unless otherwise determined by the Board, solely of not less than two members who will be non-employee directors (a "Committee"), or any officer that has been delegated administrative authority pursuant to the 2024 Plan for the duration such delegation is in effect (collectively, the "Administrator"). The Administrator, which initially will be the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, will have full power to (i) designate participants; (ii) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances awards may be settled or exercised in cash, shares, other securities, other awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited, or suspended, and the method or methods by which awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances the delivery of cash, shares, other securities, other awards or other property and other amounts payable with respect to an award shall be made; (vii) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, settle any controversy regarding, correct any defect in and/or complete any omission in the 2024 Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or award granted under, the 2024 Plan; (viii) establish, amend, suspend,

or waive any rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the administrator shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the 2024 Plan; (ix) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards; (x) to reprice existing awards or to grant awards in connection with or in consideration of the cancellation of an outstanding award with a higher price; and (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2024 Plan.

Share Reserve

The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2024 Plan is 1,000,000.

Shares issuable under the 2024 Plan may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares of Common Stock. Shares underlying any awards under the 2024 Plan that are settled in cash, forfeited, canceled, repurchased, held back upon exercise of an option or settlement of an award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding satisfied without the issuance of stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) will be added back to the shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan, although shares shall not again become available for issuance as incentive stock options.

The share reserve described herein may be subject to certain adjustments in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company (see Equitable Adjustments below).

Types of Awards

The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent awards, and other stock- or cash-based awards (collectively, "awards").

Stock Options. The 2024 Plan permits the granting of both options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and options that do not so qualify. Options granted under the 2024 Plan will be nonqualified options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Nonqualified options may be granted to any persons eligible to receive awards under the 2024 Plan.

The exercise price of each option will be determined by the Administrator, but such exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of Company Common Stock on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, 110% of such share's fair market value. The term of each option will be set by the Administrator and may not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (or five (5) years for an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder). The Administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such options.

Upon exercise of an option, the exercise price must be paid in full either in cash, check or, with approval of the Administrator, by surrender of other shares of Company Common Stock that meet the conditions established by the Administrator to avoid adverse accounting consequences to the Company, by broker-assisted cashless exercise, by delivery of a notice of "net exercise" to the Company, such other consideration and method of payment to the extent permitted by applicable law, or any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to shares of Company Common Stock or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in the Company's stock price over the exercise price, as set by the Administrator and which will be at least equal to the fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock on the grant date. The term of each stock appreciation right will be set by the Administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The Administrator will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such stock appreciation rights.

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is an award of shares of Company Common Stock that vests in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Administrator. The Administrator will determine the persons to whom grants of restricted stock awards are made, the number of restricted shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid for the restricted shares, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of restricted stock

awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, a participant generally will have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such restricted shares, including without limitation the right to vote such restricted shares and the right to receive cash dividends, if applicable.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are the right to receive shares of Company Common Stock at a future date in accordance with the terms of such grant upon the attainment of certain conditions specified by the Administrator. Restrictions or conditions could include, but are not limited to, the attainment of performance goals, continuous service with the Company or its subsidiaries, the passage of time or other restrictions or conditions. The Administrator determines the persons to whom grants of restricted stock units are made, the number of restricted stock units to be awarded, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock units may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule, and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the restricted stock unit awards. The value of the restricted stock units may be paid in shares of Company Common Stock, cash, other securities, other property, or a combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Administrator.

The holders of restricted stock units will have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, restricted stock units awarded under the 2024 Plan may, at the Administrator's discretion, provide for a right to dividend equivalents.

Performance Awards. The Administrator has the authority to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or restricted stock units as a performance award, which means that such awards vest at least in part upon the attainment of one or more specified performance criteria. For each performance period, the Administrator will have the sole authority to select the length of such performance period, the types of performance award to be granted, the performance criteria that will be used to establish the performance goals, and the level(s) of performance which shall result in a performance award being earned. At any time, the Administrator may adjust or modify the calculation of a performance goal for a performance period, to appropriately reflect any circumstance or event that occurs during a performance period and that in the Administrator's sole discretion, warrants adjustment or modification. Depending on the type of performance award granted, the previously discussed terms and conditions will also apply to a performance award.

Performance criteria for a performance award may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or one or more subsidiaries, divisions, business segments or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing) and may include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) net earnings or net income (before or after taxes); (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) revenue or revenue growth (measured on a net or gross basis); (iv) gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi) return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, invested capital, equity, or sales); (vii) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, net cash provided by operations and cash flow return on capital); (viii) financing and other capital raising transactions (including, but not limited to, sales of the Company's equity or debt securities); (ix) earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; (x) gross or operating margins; (xi) productivity ratios; (xii) share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return); (xiii) expense targets; (xiv) margins; (xv) productivity and operating efficiencies; (xvi) customer satisfaction; (xvii) customer growth; (xviii) working capital targets; (xix) measures of economic value added; (xx) inventory control; (xxi) enterprise value; (xxii) sales; (xxiii) debt levels and net debt; (xxiv) combined ratio; (xxv) timely launch of new facilities; (xxvi) client retention; (xxvii) employee retention; (xxviii) timely completion of new product rollouts; (xxix) cost targets; (xxx) reductions and savings; (xxxi) productivity and efficiencies; (xxxii) strategic partnerships or transactions; and (xxxiii) personal targets, goals or completion of projects. Any one or more of the performance criteria may be used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more subsidiaries as a whole or any business unit(s) of the Company and/or one or more subsidiaries or any combination thereof, or any of the above performance criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison or peer companies, or a published or special index that the Administrator deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices.

Dividend Equivalents. An award of dividend equivalents entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all dividends paid on one share of Company Common Stock while the holder's tandem award is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the participant, settled in cash or shares of Company Common Stock, and subject to the same restriction on transferability and forfeitability as the award with respect to which the dividend equivalents are granted.

Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards. Other stock-based awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other awards granted under the 2024 Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the 2024 Plan. The Administrator shall have authority to determine the service providers to whom and the time or times at which other stock-based awards shall be made, the amount of such other stock-based awards, and all other conditions of the other stock-based awards including any dividend and/or voting rights. The Administrator may grant cash awards in such amounts and subject to such performance or other vesting criteria and terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

Repricing

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2024 Plan, unless a repricing is approved by shareholders, in no case may the Administrator (i) amend an outstanding option or stock appreciation right to reduce the exercise price of the award, (ii) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding option or stock appreciation right in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the award, or (iii) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding option or stock appreciation right in exchange for an option or stock appreciation right with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original award.

Tax Withholding

Participants in the 2024 Plan are responsible for the payment of any federal, state, or local taxes that the Company or its subsidiaries are required by law to withhold upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights or vesting of other awards. Without limitation, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) the delivery of shares of Company Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) owned by the participant having a fair market value equal to such withholding liability, (B) having the Company withhold from the number of shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the award a number of shares with a fair market value equal to such withholding liability, (C) deducting an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a participant, (D) accepting a payment from the participant in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by check made payable to the order of the Company, or (E) if there is a public market for shares at the time the withholding obligation for a tax obligation is to be satisfied, selling shares issued pursuant to the award creating the withholding obligation. The amount withheld pursuant to any of the foregoing payment forms will be determined by the Company and may be up to (but not in excess of) the aggregate amount of such obligations based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the participant's jurisdiction for all tax obligations that are applicable to such taxable income.

Equitable Adjustments

In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or other change in corporate structure affecting shares of Company Common Stock, the Administrator will adjust (i) the number and class of shares which may be delivered under the 2024 Plan (or number and kind of other securities or other property); (ii) the number, class and price (including the exercise or strike price of options and stock appreciation rights) of shares subject to outstanding awards, (iii) any applicable performance criteria, performance period, and other terms and conditions of outstanding performance awards, and (iv) the 2024 Plan's numerical limits.

Change in Control

In the event of any proposed change in control (as defined in the 2024 Plan), the Administrator will take any action as it deems appropriate, which action may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the continuation of any award, if the Company is the surviving corporation; (ii) the assumption of any award by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; (iii) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of equivalent awards; (iv) accelerated vesting of the award, with all performance objectives and other vesting criteria deemed achieved at targeted levels, and a limited period during which to exercise the award prior to closing of the change in control, or (v) settlement of any award for the change in control price (less, to the extent applicable, the per share exercise price). Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the award, a participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the award as to all shares of Company Common Stock, including those that would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all applicable restrictions will lapse, and all performance objectives and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at targeted levels.

Transferability of Awards

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, except to a participant's estate or legal representative, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant.

Term

The 2024 Plan will become effective when approved by our shareholders, and, unless terminated earlier, the 2024 Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years.

Amendment and Termination

Our Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2024 Plan at any time. No amendment or termination of the 2024 Plan will materially impair the rights of any participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the participant and the Company. Approval of the stockholders shall be required for any amendment, where required by applicable law, as well as (i) to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan and (ii) to change the persons or class of persons eligible to receive awards under the 2024 Plan.

Recoupment Policy

All awards granted under the 2024 Plan, all amounts paid under the 2024 Plan, and all shares of Common Stock issued under the 2024 Plan shall be subject to reduction, recoupment, clawback, or recovery by the Company in accordance with applicable laws and with Company policy.

Form S-8

The Company intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of Company Common Stock issuable under the 2024 Plan.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general summary under current law of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to awards and certain transactions under the 2024 Plan, based upon the current provisions of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. It does not describe all federal tax consequences under the 2024 Plan, nor does it describe state, local, or foreign income tax consequences or federal employment tax consequences. The rules governing the tax treatment of such awards are quite technical, so the following discussion of tax consequences is necessarily general in nature and is not complete. In addition, statutory provisions are subject to change, as are their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.

The 2024 Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company's ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on the Company's generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness and the satisfaction of the Company's tax reporting obligations.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is generally realized by the optionee upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If shares of Company Common Stock issued to an optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option are sold or transferred after two years from the date of grant and after one year from the date of exercise, then generally (i) upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option exercise price (the amount paid for the shares) will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain, and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss, and (ii) neither the Company nor its subsidiaries will be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes; provided that such incentive stock option otherwise meets all of the technical requirements of an incentive stock option. The exercise of an incentive stock option will give rise to an item of tax preference that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee.

If the shares of Company Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year and one-year holding periods described above (a "disqualifying disposition"), generally (i) the optionee will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares of Company Common Stock at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares of Company Common Stock) over the option exercise price thereof, and (ii) the Company or its subsidiaries will be entitled to deduct such amount. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the incentive stock option is paid by tendering shares of Company Common Stock.

If an incentive stock option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies for the tax treatment described above, the option is treated as a nonqualified option. Generally, an incentive stock option will not be eligible for the tax treatment described above if it is exercised more than three months following termination of employment (or one year in the case of termination of employment by reason of disability). In the case of termination of employment by reason of death, the three-month rule does not apply.

Nonqualified Options. No income is generally realized by the optionee at the time a nonqualified option is granted. Generally, (i) at exercise, ordinary income is realized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of Company Common Stock issued on the date of exercise, and the Company or its subsidiaries receive a tax deduction for the same amount, and (ii) at disposition, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares of Company Common Stock have been held. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the nonqualified option is paid by tendering shares of Company Common Stock. Upon exercise, the optionee will also be subject to Social Security taxes on the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Company Common Stock over the exercise price of the option.

Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Awards and Other Stock- and Cash-Based Awards. The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2024 Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: (i) stock appreciation rights are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as nonqualified options; (ii) nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Company Common Stock over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant through a Section 83(b) election); and (iii) restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, and other stock- or cash-based awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. The Company or its subsidiaries generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant at the time the participant recognizes such income.

The participant's basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares of Company Common Stock acquired from a stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, dividend equivalent award, or other stock-based award will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized when the shares were originally delivered, and the participant's capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant.

Performance Awards. The tax consequences of performance awards will generally mirror those of the underlying award type, each of which is discussed above.

Parachute Payments. The vesting of any portion of an award that is accelerated due to the occurrence of a change in control (such as a sale event) may cause all or a portion of the payments with respect to such accelerated awards to be treated as "parachute payments" as defined in the Code. Any such parachute payments may be non-deductible to either the Company or its subsidiaries, in whole or in part, and may subject the recipient to a non-deductible 20% federal excise tax on all or a portion of such payment (in addition to other taxes ordinarily payable).

Section 409A. The foregoing description assumes that Section 409A of the Code does not apply to an award under the 2024 Plan. In general, stock options and stock appreciation rights are exempt from Section 409A if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the underlying stock at the time the option or stock appreciation right was granted. Restricted stock awards are not generally subject to Section 409A. Restricted stock units are subject to Section 409A unless they are settled within two and one-half months after the end of the later of (1) the end of the Company's fiscal year in which vesting occurs or (2) the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs. If an award is subject to Section 409A and the provisions for the exercise or settlement of that award do not comply with Section 409A, then the participant would be required to recognize ordinary income whenever a

portion of the award vested (regardless of whether it had been exercised or settled). This amount would also be subject to a 20% federal tax and premium interest in addition to the federal income tax at the participant's usual marginal rate for ordinary income.

New Plan Benefits

No awards have been previously granted under the 2024 Plan and no awards have been granted that are contingent on stockholder approval of the 2024 Plan. The awards that are to be granted to any participant or group of participants are indeterminable at the date of this Proxy Statement because participation and the types of awards that may be granted under the 2024 Plan are subject to the discretion of the Administrator. Consequently, no new plan benefits table is included in this Proxy Statement.

Votes Required

Approval of Proposal No. 3 will require the affirmative "FOR" votes of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. You may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN on proposal 3.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE 2024 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.

PROPOSAL NO. 4:

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-21 promulgated thereunder, we are seeking an advisory, non-binding stockholder vote with respect to compensation awarded to our named executive officers. We hold stockholder votes on executive compensation once every three years until our next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes.

Our executive compensation program and compensation paid to our named executive officers are described in this Proxy Statement. Our compensation programs are overseen by the Board and our Compensation Committee and reflect our philosophy to pay all of our employees, including our named executive officers, in ways that support three primary business objectives:

• Attract and retain the best talent.

• Support our culture of performance.

• Align employee interests with long-term stockholder interests in the overall success of the Company.

To help achieve these objectives, we structure our named executive officers' compensation to reward the achievement of short-term and long-term strategic and operational goals.

The Board believes that the Company's executive compensation programs use appropriate structures and sound pay practices that are effective in achieving the Company's core objectives and goals. Accordingly, the Board is asking you to vote on the adoption of the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the compensation tables and related narrative discussion.

Vote Required

Approval of Proposal No. 4 will require the affirmative "FOR" votes of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. You may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN on proposal. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposal.

The advisory vote on executive compensation solicited by this proposal is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers, which is disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The vote is advisory, and therefore is not binding on the Company or the Board in any way. Furthermore, because this non-binding, advisory resolution primarily relates to the compensation of our named executive officers that have already been paid or contractually committed, there is generally no opportunity for us to revisit these decisions. However, the Board values the opinions of our stockholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation policies and decisions.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL NO. 4.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors and Executive Officers

Our executive officers and directors, and their ages, positions and offices with us are as follows:

____________

The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Chariton, Jacobs, Plafker, and Peter Levy qualify as "independent" under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules as well as Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Board and Committee Meetings

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Board held 5 meetings. Each of the directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which he served as a director), and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which they served (during the periods that he served on such committees). We have no written policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. Our last annual meeting of stockholders was held on November 30, 2023 and all of our directors attended such meeting.

Board Committees

The composition and responsibilities of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by the Board,

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Chariton, Plafker, Jacobs and Peter Levy, each of whom is an independent director of the Board. Mr. Jacobs serves as chairman of the Audit Committee. Our Board has determined that Mr. Jacobs is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. The audit committee members are "independent" as that term is defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Audit Committee held four meetings.

The Audit Committee is authorized to:

• approve and retain the independent auditors to conduct the annual audit of our books and records;

• review the proposed scope and results of the audit;

• review and pre-approve the independent auditor's audit and non-audit services rendered;

• approve the audit fees to be paid;

• review accounting and financial controls with the independent auditors and our financial and accounting staff;

• review and approve transactions between us and our directors, officers and affiliates;

The Compensation Committee is authorized to:

• review and recommend the compensation arrangements for management, including the compensation for our chief executive officer;

• establish and review general compensation policies with the objective of attracting and retaining superior talent, rewarding individual performance and achieving our financial goals;

• administer our stock incentive plans; and

• prepare the report of the Compensation Committee that SEC rules require to be included in our annual meeting proxy statement.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Chariton, Plafker, Peter Levy and Jacobs, each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Jacobs serves as chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held 1 meeting during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is authorized to:

• identify and nominate members of the board of directors;

• oversee the evaluation of the board of directors and management;

• develop and recommend corporate governance guidelines to the board of directors;

• evaluate the performance of the members of the board of directors; and

• make recommendations to the board of directors as to the structure, composition and functioning of the board of directors and its committees.

Director Nominations

In evaluating and determining whether to nominate a candidate for a position on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods and considers criteria such as high professional ethics and values, experience on the policy-making level in business or experience relevant to our product candidates and a commitment to enhancing stockholder value. Candidates may be brought to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by current Board members, stockholders, officers or other persons. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review all candidates in the same manner regardless of the source of the recommendation.

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board may therefore consider a broad range of factors relating to the qualifications and background of nominees, which may include diversity, which is not only limited to race, gender or national origin. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's and Board's priority in selecting board members is identification of persons who will further

the interests of our stockholders through his or her established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members and professional and personal experiences and expertise relevant to our growth strategy.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers stockholder recommendations for director nominees that are properly received in accordance with our Bylaws and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. In order to validly nominate a candidate for election or reelection as a director, stockholders must give timely notice of such nomination in writing to our Corporate Secretary and include, as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected). For more information on director candidate nominations by stockholders, see "Procedures for Nominating Directors".

Procedures for Nominating Directors

The Bylaws provide, among other things, for advance notice of director nominations.

The exclusive means by which a stockholder may nominate a director is as follows: (i) in the case of the nomination of a director for election at an annual meeting, by delivery of a notice to the secretary of the Company not less than Seventy days nor more than ninety days prior to the anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders (or within a reasonable time before the date on which the Company mails its proxy materials for the current year if during the prior year the Company did not hold an annual meeting); or (ii) in the case of the nomination of a director for election at a special meeting, (other than pursuant to a special meeting request in accordance with the requirements set forth in Sections 2.3 and 2.5) by delivery of a notice to the secretary not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days prior to such special meeting, in either case setting forth: (a) the name, age, business address and the primary legal residence address of each nominee proposed in such notice, (b) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee, (c) the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned directly or indirectly of record and directly or indirectly beneficially owned by the nominee and each of its affiliates, (d) any material agreements, understandings or relationships, including financial transactions and compensation, between the nominating stockholder and the proposed nominees and (d) such other information concerning each such nominee as would be required, under the rules of the SEC, in a proxy statement soliciting proxies in a contested election of such nominees. Such notice shall include a signed consent of each such nominee to serve as a director of the Company, if elected. In addition, any stockholder nominee, to be validly nominated, is required to submit to the secretary the questionnaire required pursuant to the Bylaws. A stockholder intending to nominate one or more candidates for election as directors must comply with the advance notice bylaw provisions specifically applicable to the nomination of candidates for election as directors for such nomination to be properly brought before the meeting.

To be eligible to be a director nominee nominated by a stockholder or stockholders for election or reelection as a director of the Company, a nominee must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.4(ii) of the Bylaws) to the secretary a written questionnaire (the "Questionnaire") with respect to the background, qualification and experience of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made and a written representation and agreement that such person: (a) will abide by the requirements of the Bylaws and the Company's certificate of incorporation as in effect at the time of their nomination and as validly amended, (b) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Company, will act or vote on any issue or question (a "Voting Commitment") that has not been disclosed to the Company or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person's ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Company, with such person's fiduciary duties under applicable law, (c) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Company with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein, and (d) in such person's individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Company, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Company. If, prior to the meeting, there is a change or inaccuracy in any information set forth on the Questionnaire, then the director candidate must promptly

notify the secretary by submitting in writing a revised Questionnaire. If a nominee fails to provide such Questionnaire, revised Questionnaire or representation and agreement in accordance with the above, the information may be deemed by the Board of Directors in its discretion not to have been provided in accordance with the Bylaws and such nominee may be disqualified as a director nominee by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

In addition to all other requirements set forth in the Bylaws, a nominating stockholder (including its affiliates) and each director nominee must also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in the Bylaws.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders to combine these roles. Mr. Levy has served as our Chairman since November 1981. Due to our small size, we believe it is currently most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions combined.

Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The Board focuses on the most significant risks facing us and our general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by management are consistent with the board's appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing us and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees. A copy of the code of ethics is accessible on our website at https://surgecomponents.com/about/investors-relations. Additional copies of the code of ethics may be obtained without charge, from us by writing or calling: 95 East Jefryn Blvd., Deer Park, New York 11729, Attention: Corporate Secretary, Telephone: (631) 595-1818.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.

The following table sets forth as of August 31, 2024, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by: (i) each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of than five percent of the outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each of our directors and officers and (iii) all officers and directors, as a group:

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 with both management and Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. In its discussion, management has represented to the Audit Committee that our financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information regarding compensation paid to our executive officers for the years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022:

____________

(1) Amounts in this column include payments for medical insurance, automobile allowance and life and personal insurance. With respect to Fiscal 2023, the amounts were comprised of the following items:

2023 Base Salary and Bonus

In February 2016, the Company entered into revised employment agreements with two officers of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, the base salary for Ira Levy is $275,000 and the base salary for Steven Lubman is $225,000. The agreements continue until terminated by either party. In April 2021, the employment agreements for Ira Levy and Steven Lubman were amended to increase the base salary to $300,000 and $250,000, respectively.

The Company's compensation committee may award these officers with bonuses and will review the base salary amounts for each of the officers on an annual basis to determine if any changes to the base salary amounts need to be made. Pursuant to the employment agreements, the officers are prohibited from engaging in activities which are competitive with those of the Company during their employment with the Company and for one year following termination. If the agreement is terminated other than for cause, the officer would be entitled to all base salary earned through the date of termination, accrued but unused vacation, all vested equity, and bonus amounts payable to the officer through the date of termination. The officers would also be entitled to receive an additional thirty-six months of annual compensation equal to the average of his base salary and bonus for the three calendar years prior to the date of termination, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practice over a 52-week period.

The bonus granted to the named executive officers for 2022 was based on certain performance goals that were set prior to the year by the Compensation Committee and the executive, but ultimately the bonus is discretionary, as the Compensation Committee has the authority to make all final decisions regarding the amount and form of bonuses provided to the executive officers. For Mr. Levy, his target bonus amount is equal to fifty percent (50%) of his base salary, and Mr. Lubman's target is equal to forty-five percent (45%) of his base salary.

In 2022 the Compensation Committee used four performance markers to guide their decisions regarding bonus amounts. The performance guidelines that were applicable to Messrs. Levy and Lubman's bonuses for the 2022 year included individual performance goals, revenue growth, achieving the operating plan goals for specific divisions of the company, and achieving the operating plan for the company as a whole. Each performance guideline was generally intended to make up twenty-five percent of the potential bonus amount for each executive. Based upon the Company's and the executives' performance during the 2022 year, the Compensation Committee granted awards that were approximately one hundred percent (100%) of the executives' target award amount.

2023 Equity Compensation Awards

We have historically granted fully vested stock awards and stock option awards. The amount of awards granted in any given year is determined based on the performance of the company and the executive in the previous year. Performance is generally based upon the same performance guidelines that are used for the annual cash bonus award for that year. The Compensation Committee sets a target award amount based upon a percentage of the executive's base salary. At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee determines the cash amount that resulted from the previous year's performance, with any discretionary adjustments that the Compensation Committee deems to be appropriate, and converts that cash amount into a number of shares of stock awards or stock option awards, as applicable.

During the 2023 year, the Compensation Committee set a target amount of twenty percent (20%) of base salary for Mr. Levy and a target of fifteen percent (15%) of base salary for Mr. Lubman. Following the end of the 2023 year, the Compensation Committee determined that Messrs. Levy and Lubman should receive equity awards equal in value to one hundred percent (100%) of their target award amount. The Compensation Committee used the Company's stock price of $2.95 on April 10, 2024 to convert the resulting cash award into 15,000 stock awards for Mr. Levy. The equity awards, if any, that will be granted to the named executive officers with respect to 2024 year performance will not be granted until the 2025 year, therefore they will be included in the compensation disclosures that we file for the 2025 year.

Employment Agreements

In February 2016, the Company entered into revised employment agreements (the "Levy Agreement" and the "Lubman Agreement", individually, and collectively, the "Employment Agreements") with Ira Levy and Steven Lubman, respectively, which provides the executives with a base salary of $275,000 and $225,000, respectively ("Base Salary"). In April 2021, the employment agreements for Ira Levy and Steven Lubman were amended to increase their base salaries to $300,000 and $250,000, respectively.

The executives shall receive an annual bonus as shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, in its sole discretion, based upon criteria to be established in its sole discretion. The executives shall also be entitled to receive additional cash, equity or other compensation or benefits in consideration for their services to the Company, at such times and in such amounts as shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. In addition, the executives shall be entitled to receive grants of stock options, stock and/or any other equity incentive awards available to senior executives, under the Company's equity incentive plans, at such times and in such amounts as shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee.

The Employment Agreements will remain in effect until terminated by either the Company or the executive. In the event an executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreements), or if an executive resigns other than for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreements), he shall be entitled to receive (i) any earned but unpaid salary, all vested equity, and any earned but unpaid bonus awards through the date of termination, and (ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by him in accordance with the Company's policy prior to the date of termination.

In the event an executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or if an executive resigns for Good Reason, including a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreements) that is accompanied by the executive's resignation within a twelve month period following that Change of Control, such executive shall be entitled to any earned but unpaid salary, all vested equity, and any earned but unpaid bonus awards through the date of termination. Such executive will also be paid an additional thirty-six months of annual compensation equal to the average of his base salary and bonus for the three calendar years prior to the date of termination, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practice over a 52-week period. The Company shall also (i) accelerate the vesting on any of the executive's unvested stock options, restricted stock grants or other equity incentive awards; and (ii) reimburse the executive for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by him in accordance with the Company's policy prior to the date of termination. In the event that the executive is terminated without Cause due to our inability to pay our debts when they generally become due, we will not be liable for the cash severance payments or the payment of annual bonuses due to the executive. The severance benefits potentially payable upon a termination other than for Cause or for Good Reason will be provided subject to the executive signing a general release of claims in our favor prior to payment.

In the event an executive's employment is terminated by the Company upon death or disability, the executive or his estate shall be entitled to receive his salary then in effect along with all other fringe benefits (including, without limitation, family medical benefits) for a period of one year following the date of such termination. In addition, the executive or his estate shall have the right to exercise any unexercised and vested options for a period of ninety days following the date of termination and to receive payment for any accrued but unpaid vacation time.

The Employment Agreements contain customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that extend to one year after the date of termination of the executives' employment with the Company. The executives also agreed to customary terms regarding confidentiality and ownership of product ideas.

4.3. Liability. Neither the Administrator nor any employee of the Company shall be liable for any act or failure to act hereunder, except in circumstances involving his or her bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or for any act or failure to act hereunder by any other member or employee or by any agent to whom duties in connection with the administration of this Plan have been delegated.

5. Plan Limits

5.1. Number of Shares Available for Issuance. Subject to the provisions of Section 11, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall be 1,000,000 (the "Share Limit"). The Shares subject to the Plan may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares.

5.2. Share Recycling. Upon payment in Shares pursuant to the exercise or settlement of an Award, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced only by the number of Shares actually issued in such payment. If a Participant pays the exercise price (or purchase price, if applicable) of an Award through the tender of Shares, or if the Shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any tax withholding obligations, the number of Shares so tendered or withheld shall again be available for issuance pursuant to future Awards under the Plan, although such Shares shall not again become available for issuance as Incentive Stock Options. Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. If any outstanding Award expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in full, or if the Shares acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company, the Shares allocable to the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased Shares shall again be available for grant under the Plan.

5.3. Incentive Stock Option Limit. No more than 1,000,000Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11) may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the Administrator may impose from time to time, subject to the limitations in this Section 6. Any Option or Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. Exercising an Option or Stock Appreciation Right in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available for purchase under the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, by the number of Shares as to which the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

6.2. Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, the exercise price per Share shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

6.3. Exercise Period. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that no Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than ten (10) years after the date it is granted. No portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Participant's Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and the portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Participant's Termination of Service shall automatically expire on the date of such Termination of Service. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of overtime pay under the United States Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 shall not become exercisable earlier than six months after its date of grant. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate at such earlier times and upon such conditions or circumstances as the Administrator shall in its discretion set forth in such Award Agreement at the date of grant; provided, however, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, later waive any such condition. If, prior an Option's or Stock Appreciation Right's exercise and prior to its termination, a Participant commits an act of Cause (to be determined by the Administrator), or violates a Restrictive Covenant, the Administrator may terminate the Participant's right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right when it reasonably believes that the Participant may have participated in such act or violation.

6.4. Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to the Company (or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator) a notice of exercise, in a form and manner the Company approves, which may be written or electronic, signed or authenticated by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, (a) payment in full of the exercise price for the number of Shares for which the Option is exercised in a manner consistent with Section 6.5 and (b) satisfaction in full of any withholding obligations for Tax Obligations in a manner specified in Section 12.5. The Administrator may, in its discretion, require that any partial exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be with respect to a minimum number of Shares.

6.5. Payment Upon Exercise. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Participant may pay the Option exercise price by cash, wire transfer, or check and, if approved by the Administrator, as determined in its sole discretion, by the following methods:

6.5.1. surrender of other Shares that meet the conditions established by the Administrator to avoid adverse accounting consequences to the Company (as determined by the Administrator);

6.5.2. by a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with procedures approved by the Administrator, whereby payment of the exercise price may be satisfied, in whole or in part, with Shares subject to the Option by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Administrator) to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate exercise price;

6.5.3. for a Nonqualified Option, by delivery of a notice of "net exercise" to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall surrender Shares then issuable upon the Nonqualified Option's exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

6.5.4. such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Law;

6.5.5. any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

6.6. Incentive Stock Options.

6.6.1. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (or such other limit established in the Code), such Options will be treated as Nonqualified Options. For purposes of this Section 6.6.1, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option is granted.

6.6.2. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the exercise price will be determined by the Administrator, but shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. The term of any Incentive Stock Option will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Greater Than 10% Shareholder, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement and the exercise price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

6.6.3. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless this Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of Code Section 422(b)(1), provided that any Option intended to

be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Option unless and until such approval is obtained.

6.6.4. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Code Section 422. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Option appropriately granted under this Plan.

6.6.5. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within the later of (a) two years from the grant date of the Option or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, or other consideration, in such disposition or transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an "incentive stock option" under Code Section 422. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an "incentive stock option" under Code Section 422 for any reason, will be a Nonqualified Option.

7. Restricted Stock

7.1. Generally. The Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine, subject to the limitations of this Section 7. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction and the applicable restrictions, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Restricted Stock may be awarded in consideration for (i) cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company, (ii) past service, or (iii) any other form of legal consideration (including future Service) that may be acceptable to the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and permissible under Applicable Laws.

7.2. Restrictions; Voting Rights; Transferability. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Restricted Stock will be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Restricted Stock have lapsed. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. During the Period of Restriction, a Participant holding Restricted Stock may exercise the voting rights applicable to those restricted Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

7.3. Dividends and Other Distributions. Except as provided in the Award Agreement, during the Period of Restriction, a Participant holding Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Restricted Stock. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

7.4. Return of Restricted Stock to the Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will be forfeited and will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

7.5. Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election under Code Section 83(b) to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which such Participant would otherwise be taxable under Code Section 83(a), such Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service along with proof of the timely filing thereof.

8. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

8.1. Generally. The Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant RSUs under the Plan to Service Providers. Each RSU shall be subject to such terms and conditions as are consistent with the Plan and as the Administrator may impose from time to time, subject to this Section 8. Each Award of RSUs will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of RSUs and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. A Participant holdings RSUs will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company until delivery of Shares, cash, other securities, other property, or a combination of the foregoing.

8.2. Vesting and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of RSUs that will be paid out to the Participant. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of RSUs, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

8.3. Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned RSUs will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned RSUs in Shares, cash, other securities, other property, or a combination of the foregoing. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the fair market value of the Shares as of the date on which the restricted period lapsed with respect to such RSUs, less an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld or paid. The Administrator may provide that RSUs will be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant's election, subject to compliance with Applicable Law.

8.4. Voting. The holders of RSUs shall have no voting rights as the Company's shareholders.

9.3. Performance Criteria. The Administrator may establish performance-based conditions for an Award as specified in the Award Agreement, which may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or one or more Subsidiaries, divisions, business segments or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing) and may include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) net earnings or net income (before or after taxes); (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) revenue or revenue growth (measured on a net or gross basis); (iv) gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi) return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, invested capital, equity, or sales); (vii) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, net cash provided by operations and cash flow return on capital); (viii) financing and other capital raising transactions (including, but not limited to, sales of the Company's equity or debt securities); (ix) earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; (x) gross or operating margins; (xi) productivity ratios; (xii) share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return); (xiii) expense targets; (xiv) margins; (xv) productivity and operating efficiencies; (xvi) customer satisfaction; (xvii) customer growth; (xviii) working capital targets;

The Administrator also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance criteria specified in this paragraph. Any performance criteria that are financial metrics, may be determined in accordance with GAAP or may be adjusted when established to include or exclude any items otherwise includable or excludable under GAAP.

9.4. Modification of Performance Goals.

Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a performance period to be eligible to vest and receive Shares, cash, or other consideration in respect of a Performance Award for such performance period. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Award only to the extent that the performance goals for such period are achieved and any other vesting conditions specified in the Participant's Award Agreement are satisfied. Following the completion of a performance period, the Administrator shall determine whether, and to what extent, the performance goals for the performance period have been achieved and determine the number of Shares, cash or other consideration that will be settled pursuant to Performance Awards.

9.6. Timing of Award Payments. Except as provided in an Award agreement, Performance Awards granted for a performance period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following the Administrator's determination in accordance with Section 9.5.

10. Other Awards

10.1. General. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalents or Other Stock or Cash Based Awards, to one or more Service Providers, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as are consistent with the Plan.

10.2. Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator may provide that any Award, other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted. The payment of Dividend Equivalents shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement and shall in all cases be subject to Applicable Law.

10.3. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. The Administrator shall have authority to determine the Service Providers to whom and the time or times at which Other Stock-Based Awards shall be made, the amount of such Other Stock-Based Awards, and all other conditions of the Other Stock-Based Awards including any dividend and/or voting rights. The Administrator may grant Cash Awards in such amounts and subject to such performance or other vesting criteria and terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine. Cash Awards shall be evidenced in such form as the Administrator may determine.

11. Adjustments; Change in Control

11.1. Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust (i) the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan (or number and kind of other securities or other property); (ii) the number, class and price (including the exercise or strike price of Options and SARs) of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) any applicable performance criteria, performance period, and other terms and conditions of outstanding Performance Awards, and (iv) the numerical limits in Section 5. Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number.

11.2. Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise an Award, to the extent applicable, until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not be vested or otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall lapse one hundred percent (100%), and that any Award vesting shall accelerate one hundred percent (100%), provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously vested and, if applicable, exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

11.3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award substituted by the acquiring or successor corporation or a parent of the acquiring or successor corporation. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute an Award, (A) the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Award as to all of the Shares, including those as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable; (B) all applicable restrictions will lapse; and (C) all performance objectives and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at targeted levels. If an Option or SAR is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR shall be exercisable, to the extent vested, for a period of up to fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this Section 11.3, the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether shares, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common shares of the acquiring or successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the acquiring or successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share subject to the Award, to be solely common shares

of the acquiring or successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned, or is paid out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or the acquiring or successor corporation modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, that a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the acquiring or successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. Payments under this Section 11.3 may be delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of Shares in connection with the Change in Control is delayed as a result of escrows, earnouts, holdbacks, or any other contingencies.

12. Provisions Applicable to Awards

12.1. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares will not be issued pursuant to an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Law and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or receiving such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required or desirable.

12.2. Transferability. No Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Each Participant may file with the Administrator a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary(ies) who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under this Plan upon his or her death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Administrator. The last such designation filed with the Administrator shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Administrator prior to the Participant's death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his or her estate. Upon the occurrence of a Participant's divorce (as evidenced by a final order or decree of divorce), any spousal designation previously given by such Participant shall automatically terminate.

12.3. Documentation. All Awards made under the Plan shall be made pursuant to an Award Agreement. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine the terms and conditions set forth in each Award Agreement, provided that all such terms and conditions are consistent with the Plan.

12.4. Discretion. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan may be made alone or in addition to or in conjunction with any other Award. The terms of each Award are not required to be identical, and the Administrator does not have to treat Participants or Awards uniformly.

12.5. Withholding. A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, or the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, from any cash, Shares, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes, including any Tax Obligations, in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under this Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Administrator or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding and taxes. In addition, the Administrator, in its discretion, may make arrangements mutually agreeable with a Participant who is not an employee of the Company or an Affiliate to facilitate the payment of applicable income and self-employment taxes. Without limitation, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) the delivery of Shares (which are not subject to

any pledge or other security interest) owned by the Participant having a fair market value equal to such withholding liability, (B) having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of shares with a fair market value equal to such withholding liability, (C) deducting an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant, (D) accepting a payment from the Participant in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by check made payable to the order of the Company, or (E) if there is a public market for Shares at the time the withholding obligation for Tax Obligations is to be satisfied, selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award creating the withholding obligation. The amount withheld pursuant to any of the foregoing payment forms shall be determined by the Company and may be up to (but not in excess of) the aggregate amount of such obligations based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the Participant's jurisdiction for all Tax Obligations that are applicable to such taxable income.

12.6. Award Modification; Repricing. The Administrator may at any time, and from time to time, amend the terms of any one or more Awards without the consent of any Participant; provided, however, that the Administrator may not make any amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the material rights under any Award unless the Participant consents to such impairment in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4 and except for an adjustment pursuant to Section 11 or a repricing approved by shareholders, in no case may the Administrator (i) amend an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce the exercise price of the Award, (ii) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the Award, or (iii) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Award

12.7. Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable, in each case, subject to Applicable Law.

12.8. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Administrator shall determine whether cash, additional Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether any fractional Shares should be rounded, forfeited, or otherwise eliminated.

13. Section 409A

13.1. General. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the "short-term deferral period" (as defined in Section 409A) shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant's consent, amend this Plan or any Award, adopt policies and procedures, make corrective filings, or take any other actions (including amendments and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including exempting the Plan and Awards from Section 409A or complying with 409A.

13.2. Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, any payment or settlement made pursuant to an Award to a "specified employee" (as defined by Section 409A and as determined by the Administrator) due to such Participant's "separation from service" (as defined by Section 409A) will, to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the Participant, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such "separation from service (or, if earlier, on the "specified employee's" death) and will instead be paid on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as practicable thereafter. Any delayed payment under this Section 13.2 shall not accrue interest during the delay. All payments of "nonqualified deferred compensation" (as defined by Section 409A) that are scheduled to be paid more than six months following a "specified employee's" termination, shall be made on their regular schedule.

13.3. Change in Control. If any Award is or becomes subject to Code Section 409A and if payment of such Award would be accelerated or otherwise triggered under a Change in Control, then the definition of Change in Control shall be deemed modified, only to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of an excise tax under Code Section 409A, to mean a "change in control event" as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A.

14. Amendment of the Plan

The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan. The Company may obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary or, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, desirable to comply with Applicable Law, including any amendment that (i) increases the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan or (ii) changes the persons or class of persons eligible to receive Awards. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan will materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to outstanding Awards, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

15. Foreign Participants

The Administrator may from time to time establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying securities, tax, or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Administrator determines are necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan, but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.

16. Clawbacks

Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan, the Administrator may cancel any Award, require reimbursement of any Award, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with Company policies, including the Company's Clawback Policies. A Participant may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan or an Award Agreement, in accordance with the Clawback Policies. By accepting an Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the Clawback Policies and to adhere to the Clawback Policies to the extent required by Applicable Law.

17. No Right to Continued Service

Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) a Participant's employment with or without notice and with or without Cause, or (ii) a Participant's service as a Consultant or Director.

18. No Rights as a Shareholder

Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Shares subject to such Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Share certificates are issued, except as provided in Section 11.

19. Miscellaneous

19.1. Limitations on Liability. Neither the Company, nor its Parent, nor any Subsidiary, nor any person serving as Administrator shall have any liability to a Participant in the event an Award held by the Participant fails to achieve its intended characterization under the tax, securities, or other applicable laws and regulations.

19.2. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

19.3. Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan or an Award Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan or Award Agreement, as applicable, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

19.4. Governing Documents. The Plan and each Award Agreement evidencing an Award are intended to be read together, and together, set forth the complete terms and conditions of each Award. To the extent of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company, the Plan will govern unless the Award Agreement or other written agreement was approved by the Administrator and expressly provides that a specific provision of the Plan will not apply.

19.5. Governing Law. The Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Navada, without reference to any choice of law principles.

19.6. Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the construction of the provisions hereof.

19.7. Intended to Comply with Applicable Law. The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are intended to fully comply with Applicable Law. All administrative actions, determinations, and exercises of discretion by the Administrator shall comply with Applicable Law.

20. Shareholder Approval

The Plan will be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Law. All Awards hereunder are contingent on approval of the Plan by the Company's shareholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Plan is not approved by the Company's shareholders within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted, the Plan and any Awards hereunder shall be automatically terminated.

21. Effective Date

The Plan shall be effective as of October 10, 2024, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date").

Unless terminated earlier under Section 14, this Plan shall terminate on October 9, 2034, ten (10) years after the Effective Date.
