ORBSAT
CORP


STOCK
OPTION AGREEMENT


 


This
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Option Agreement”), effective as of the August 24, 2021 (the “Grant Date”),
is between Orbsat Corp, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Paul R. Thomson (the “Optionee”),
the Executive Vice President of the Company.


 


WHEREAS,
the Company desires to give the Optionee the opportunity to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001
per share (“Common Shares”).


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:


 


1.
Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase
all or any part of an aggregate of 25,000 Common Shares. The Option is in all respects limited and conditioned as hereinafter
provided.


 


2.
Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Common Shares covered by this Option shall be $5.35 per share.


 


3.
Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to any provision of this Option Agreement, this Option shall expire five years from the
Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). This Option shall not be exercisable on or after the Expiration Date.


 


4.
Vesting and Exercise of Option. The Option shall be fully vested on the Grant Date and will remain exercisable until it is exercised
or until it terminates and shall not be forfeited upon resignation or termination, other than as set forth in the Employment Agreement,
dated August 24, 2021, by and between Optionee and the Company.


 


5.
Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written
notice to the Company at its principal office. The form of such notice is attached hereto and shall state the election to exercise the
Option and the number of whole shares with respect to which it is being exercised; shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising
the Option; and shall be accompanied by payment of the full exercise price of such shares. Only full shares will be issued.


 


The
exercise price shall be paid to the Company:


 


(a)
in cash, or by certified check, bank draft, or postal or express money order;


 


(b)
through the delivery of Common Shares previously acquired by the Optionee;


 


(c)
by delivering a properly executed notice of exercise of the Option to the Company and a broker, with irrevocable instructions to the
broker promptly to deliver to the Company the amount necessary to pay the exercise price of the Option;


 


(d)
in Common Shares newly acquired by the Optionee upon exercise of the Option; or


 


(e)
in any combination of (a), (b), (c) or (d) above.


 


In
the event the exercise price is paid, in whole or in part, with Common Shares, the portion of the exercise price so paid shall be equal
to the $5.35 of the Common Shares surrendered on the date of exercise.


 


Upon
receipt of notice of exercise and payment, the Company shall deliver a book entry confirmation representing the Common Shares with respect
to which the Option is so exercised. The Optionee shall obtain the rights of a shareholder upon receipt of such confirmation.


 




    	-1-



     


    

 


Common
Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option shall be registered in the name of the person so exercising the Option (or, if the Option
is exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee so requests in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name of
the Optionee and the Optionee’s spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship), and shall be delivered as provided above to, or upon
the written order of, the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option is exercised by any person after the death or disability
of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Common
Shares that are purchased upon exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.


 


Upon
exercise of the Option, Optionee shall be responsible for all employment and income taxes then or thereafter due (whether Federal, State
or local), and if the Optionee does not remit to the Company sufficient cash (or, with the consent of the Board, Common Shares) to satisfy
all applicable withholding requirements, the Company shall be entitled to satisfy any withholding requirements for any such tax by disposing
of Common Shares at exercise, withholding cash from Optionee’s salary or other compensation or such other means as the Board considers
appropriate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.


 


6.
Non-Transferability of Option. This Option is not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, by the Optionee other than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the
Optionee or, in the event of his or her disability, by his or her guardian or legal representative.


 


7.
Disability. If the Optionee becomes disabled prior to the Expiration Date, then this Option may be exercised by the Optionee or
by the Optionee’s legal representative.


 


8.
Death. If the Optionee dies prior to the Expiration Date, then this Option may be exercised by the Optionee’s estate, personal
representative or beneficiary who acquired the right to exercise this Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the Optionee’s
death, to the extent of the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date of his or
her death, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) one year after the date of the Optionee’s death.
Any part of the Option that was not exercisable immediately before the Optionee’s death shall terminate at that time.


 


10.
Securities Matters. (a) If, at any time, counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification
of the Common Shares subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval
of any governmental or regulatory body, or that the disclosure of non-public information or the satisfaction of any other condition is
necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Common Shares hereunder, such Option may not be exercised,
in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval, or satisfaction of such condition shall have
been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Board of Directors. The Company shall be under no obligation to apply for or
to obtain such listing, registration or qualification, or to satisfy such condition. The Board shall inform the Optionee in writing of
any decision to defer or prohibit the exercise of an Option. During the period that the effectiveness of the exercise of an Option has
been deferred or prohibited, the Optionee may, by written notice, withdraw the Optionee’s decision to exercise and obtain a refund
of any amount paid with respect thereto.


 


(b)
The Company may require: (i) the Optionee (or any other person exercising the Option in the case of the Optionee’s death or disability)
as a condition of exercising the Option, to give written assurances, in substance and form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect
that such person is acquiring the Common Shares subject to the Option for his or her own account for investment and not with any present
intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to make such other representations or covenants; and (ii) that any certificates
for Common Shares delivered in connection with the exercise of the Option bear such legends, in each case as the Company deems necessary
or appropriate, in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws, to comply with covenants or representations made
by the Company in connection with any public offering of its Common Shares or otherwise. The Optionee specifically understands and agrees
that the Common Shares, if and when issued upon exercise of the Option, may be “restricted securities,” as that term is defined
in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 and, accordingly, the Optionee may be required to hold the shares indefinitely unless they
are registered under such Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from such registration is available.


 


(c)
The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares covered by the Option (including, without limitation,
any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares) until the date of issue of a stock certificate
to the Optionee for such Common Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date such stock certificate is issued.


 


11.
Governing Law. The laws of the State of Nevada (without reference to the principles of conflict of laws) shall govern the operation
of, and the rights of the Optionee and the Options granted herein.
