 2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 PLUS THERAPEUTICS, INC. 

2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 SECTION 1.
ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE. 
 (a) The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2020 and approved by
the Company’s stockholders on June 16, 2020. The Plan was amended and restated by the Board of Directors on March 22, 2021, subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders. The Plan was initially effective upon approval by the
stockholders of the Company on the Effective Date. The Plan is a successor to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan of Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Predecessor Plan”). From and after 12:01 a.m. Central time on the Effective Date, no additional
stock awards will be granted under the Predecessor Plan. All Awards granted on or after the Effective Date will be granted under the Plan as in effect on the date of grant of each Award. All stock awards granted under the Predecessor Plan will
remain subject to the terms of the Predecessor Plan. 
 (i) Any Shares that would otherwise remain available
for future grants under the Predecessor Plan as of 12:01 a.m. Central Time on the Effective Date (the “Predecessor Plan’s Available Reserve”) will cease to be available under the Predecessor Plan at such time. Instead, that number of
Shares equal to the Predecessor Plan’s Available Reserve will be added to the Absolute Share Limit (as further described in Section 5(a) below) and be then immediately available for grants and issuance pursuant to Awards hereunder, up to
the maximum number set forth in Section 5(a) below. 
 (ii) In addition, from and after 12:01 a.m.
Central time on the Effective Date, with respect to the aggregate number of Shares subject, at such time, to outstanding stock options and stock awards granted under the Predecessor Plan that (i) expire or terminate for any reason prior to
exercise or settlement; or (ii) are forfeited because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such Shares or otherwise return to the Company (such Shares the “Predecessor Plan Returning Shares”) will
immediately be added to the Absolute Share Limit (as further described in Section 5(a) below) as and when such a Share becomes a Predecessor Plan Returning Share, up to the maximum number set forth in Section 3(a) below. For the avoidance
of doubt, Predecessor Plan Returning Shares will not include any Shares subject to outstanding stock options or stock awards granted under the Predecessor Plan that are reacquired, withheld (or not issued) to satisfy (i) a tax withholding
obligation in connection with an award or (ii) the purchase price or exercise price of an award. 
 (b) The
purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the
attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan
seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units, options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights.

sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such
transaction, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the offering of securities or debt to the public.

provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an Employee’s Service will be treated as terminating
three months after such Employee went on leave, unless such Employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately returns

 (c) Ten-Percent
Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless such grant satisfies the
requirements of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code. 
 (d) Attribution Rules. For purposes of
Section 4(c) above, in determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such Employee’s brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or
indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries. 

(e) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, “outstanding stock” shall include all
stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the grant. “Outstanding stock” shall not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any other person. 

SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. 

(a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.
Subject to Section 5(b) below, the maximum aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance as Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 1,650,781 Shares, which is the sum of (i) 550,000 Shares approved at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting
of stockholders, plus (ii) 1,000,000 Shares approved at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, plus (ii) the number of shares subject to the Predecessor Plan’s Available Reserve, plus (iii) the
number of shares that are Predecessor Plan Returning Shares, as such shares become available from time to time (the “Absolute Share Limit”). The number of Shares that may be delivered in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of ISOs
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 4,952,343 Shares plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to
Section 5(b). The limitations of this Section 5(a) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the
number of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 

(b) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for
Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised or settled, then the corresponding Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units are settled,
then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. The full number of Options
exercised shall be counted against the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan, regardless of the number of Shares actually issued upon exercise of such Options. The full number of SARs settled shall be counted against the number of
Shares available for Awards under the Plan, regardless of the number of Shares actually issued in settlement of such SARs. For the avoidance of doubt, any Shares withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any
Award shall not be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b), Shares that have actually been issued shall not again become available for Awards under the Plan, except
for Restricted Shares that are forfeited and do not become vested.

 (c) Substitution and Assumption of Awards. The
Committee may make Awards under the Plan by assumption, substitution or replacement of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock units or similar awards granted by another entity (including a Parent or Subsidiary), if such assumption,
substitution or replacement is in connection with an asset acquisition, stock acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company (and/or its Parent or Subsidiary) and such other entity (and/or its affiliate). The terms
of such assumed, substituted or replaced Awards shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Any such substitute or assumed Awards shall not count against the Absolute
Share Limit set forth in Section 5(a) (nor shall Shares subject to such Awards be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 5(b) above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of substitute ISOs will
count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs under the Plan. 
 SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES. 

(a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted
Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various
Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 
 (b) Payment for Awards.
Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. 

(c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full
or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement or other
events. 
 (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have
the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. Holders of Restricted Shares must invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same
conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. 

(e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such rights of repurchase, rights
of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

 SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. 

(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement
between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems
appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options
may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation. 
 (b) Number of
Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11. 

(c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO
shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise provided in 4(c), and the Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be less 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with an Exercise Price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of
the Code. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms described in Section 8. 

(d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as
the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option. 

(e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of
the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years for Employees described in
Section 4(c)). A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, Disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of
the termination of the Optionee’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this
Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire. 

  
 PLUS THERAPEUTICS, INC.

 2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 11














 (f) Exercise of Options. Each Stock Option Agreement shall set
forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of
the Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued
pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service. 
 (g) No Rights as a
Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights (including voting, dividend and other rights) as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his Option until such person has satisfied all of
the terms and conditions to receive such Shares, has satisfied any applicable withholding or tax obligations relating to the Award and the Shares have been issued (as evidenced by an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company). The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustments shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares
are issued, except as provided in Section 11. 
 (h) Modification or Extension of Options. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify or, extend outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (to the extent not previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new Options
for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price; provided, however, that other than in connection with an adjustment of Awards pursuant to Section 11, the Committee may not modify outstanding Options
to lower the Exercise Price nor may the Committee assume or accept the cancellation of outstanding Options in return for cash or the grant of new Options or SARs with a lower Exercise Price, unless such action has been approved by the Company’s
stockholders. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option. 

(i) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be
subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall
apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares. 
 (j) Buyout
Provisions. Except with respect to an Option whose Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option, the Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option
previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish.

 SECTION 8. PAYMENT FOR SHARES. 

(a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in
lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(h) below. 

(b) Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in
part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan.
The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for
financial reporting purposes. 
 (c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be
awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of the
Award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b). 

(d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in
part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. 

(e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part
by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price. 
 (f) Net Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be
made by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall be reduced by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed the
aggregate Exercise Price (plus tax withholdings, if applicable) and any remaining balance of the aggregate Exercise Price (and/or applicable tax withholdings) not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued shall be paid
by the Optionee in cash or other form of payment permitted under the Stock Option Agreement. 
 (g) Promissory
Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note. 

(h) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so
provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

 (i) Limitations under Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 

(a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the
Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
SARs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation. 
 (b) Number of
Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11. 

(c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of a SAR shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SARs may be granted with an Exercise Price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant pursuant to a
transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 9(c), the Exercise Price under any SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

(d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is
to become exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement or other events and may provide for
expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related
Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in
Control. 
 (e) No Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant, or a transferee of a Participant,
shall have no rights (including voting, dividend and other rights) as a stockholder with respect to any Shares pertaining to his SAR until the date such person has satisfied all of the terms and conditions to receive such Shares, has satisfied any
applicable withholding or tax obligations relating to the Award and any Shares have been issued pursuant to the SAR (to the extent the SAR is settled in Shares and as evidenced by an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company). No adjustments shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 11. 

(f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR
after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs
shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. 

  
 PLUS THERAPEUTICS, INC.

 2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 14














 (g) Modification, Extension or Assumption of SARs. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a
different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price; provided, however, that other than in connection with an adjustment of Awards pursuant to Section 11, the Committee may not modify outstanding SARs to lower the Exercise
Price nor may the Committee assume or accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs in return for cash or the grant of new Options or SARs with a lower Exercise Price, unless such action has been approved by the Company’s stockholders. The
foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR. 

(h) Buyout Provisions. Except with respect to a SAR whose Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the
Shares subject to the SAR, the Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents a SAR previously granted, or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out a SAR previously granted, in either case at
such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish. 
 SECTION 10. STOCK UNITS. 

(a) Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement
between the recipient and the Company. Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into
under the Plan need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation. 

(b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration
shall be required of the Award recipients. 
 (c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not
be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s
death, Disability or retirement or other events. 
 (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units
shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an
amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares,
or in a combination of both. Dividend equivalents shall not be distributed prior to settlement of the Stock Unit to which the dividend equivalents pertain. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the
same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Stock Units to which they attach. 

  
 PLUS THERAPEUTICS, INC.

 2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 15














 (e) Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of
vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included
in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock
Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date, subject to
compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 11. 
 (f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable
after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form
with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award
recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate. 

(g) Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a
general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement. 

SECTION 11. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. 

(a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in
Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number
of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate and equitable adjustments in: 

(i) The class(es) and maximum number of securities available for future Awards under Section 5; 

(ii) The class(es) and number of securities that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs pursuant to
Section 5; 
 (iii) The class(es) and number of securities covered by each outstanding Option and SAR;

 (iv) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; and 

  
 PLUS THERAPEUTICS, INC.

 2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 16














 (v) The classes and number of securities subject to any
outstanding Award. 
 The Committee will make such adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive. Except as
provided in this Section 11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the
payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. 
 (b)
Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. 

(c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding
Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, such agreement shall provide for: 

(i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation; 

(ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; 

(iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the
outstanding Awards; 
 (iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding
Awards, provided, however, that the Committee may require Participants to complete and deliver to the Company a notice of exercise before the effective date of the merger or reorganization, which exercise is contingent upon the effectiveness of such
merger or reorganization; 
 (v) Cancellation of the Award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior
to the effective time of the merger or reorganization, in exchange for such cash consideration, if any, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; or 

(vi) Settlement of the intrinsic value of the outstanding Awards (whether or not then vested or exercisable) in
cash or cash equivalents or equity (including cash or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Awards or the underlying Shares) followed by cancellation of such Awards (and, for the
avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such
Award may be terminated by the Company without payment, and such amount may be delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of Common Stock in connection with the merger or reorganization is delayed as a result of escrows,
earnouts, holdbacks or other contingencies); in each case without the Participant’s consent. Any acceleration of payment or an amount that is subject to Section 409A of the Code will be delayed, if necessary, until the earliest time that
such payment would be permissible under Section 409A of the Code without triggering any additional taxes applicable under Section 409A of the Code.

 The Company need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Awards or portions
thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Company may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award. 

(d) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 11, an Optionee, Offeree or Participant shall
have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of
any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Award. The grant of an Award pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer
all or any part of its business or assets. 
 (e) Change in Control. In its discretion, the Committee pay
provide in the Award Agreement governing an Award or at any other time may take such action as it deems appropriate to provide for acceleration of the exercisability, vesting and/or settlement in connection with a Change in Control of each or any
outstanding Award or portion thereof and shares acquired pursuant thereto upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon or following such Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee shall
determine. In the absence of such provision in an Award Agreement or any such action taken by the Committee, no acceleration will occur. 
 SECTION 12.
DEFERRAL OF AWARDS. 
 (a) Committee Powers. Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the
Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to: 
 (i) Have cash that otherwise
would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books; 

(ii) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option
or SAR converted into an equal number of Stock Units; or 
 (iii) Have Shares that otherwise would be
delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the
Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant. 

(b) General Rules. A deferred compensation account established under this Section 12 may be credited
with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee
(in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 12.

 SECTION 13. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS. 

The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this
Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under Section 5. 

SECTION 14. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. 

Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all
applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the
Company’s securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company determines is necessary or advisable. The Company shall not be liable to a Participant or
other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has not obtained from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan; and (b) any tax consequences expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted under the Plan.

 SECTION 15. WITHHOLDING TAXES. 

(a) Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant
or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash
payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. 
 (b) Share Withholding. The Committee may
permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any
Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld that would otherwise be issued to him or
her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the maximum legally required tax withholding.

 SECTION 16. OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS. 

(a) Transferability. Unless the agreement evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the
Committee) expressly provides otherwise, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner (prior to the vesting and lapse of any
and all restrictions applicable to Shares issued under such Award), other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that an ISO may be transferred or assigned only to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the
Code. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance in violation of this Section 16(a) shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. 

(b) Performance Criteria. The number of Shares or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under
an Award may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals.

amortization, (d) return on equity, (e) total stockholder return, (f) share price performance, (g) return on capital, (h) return on assets or net assets, (i) revenue, (j) income or net income, (k) operating income

(y) objective employee metrics or (z) any other measures of performance selected by the Committee (“Qualifying Performance Criteria”), any of which may be measured either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied
to either the individual, the Company as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary of the Company, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, or on the basis of
any other specified period, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group or index, and subject to specified adjustments, in
each case as specified by the Committee in the Award. 
 (ii) Unless specified otherwise by the Committee at
the time the performance goals are established, the Committee shall appropriately adjust the method of evaluating performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria for a performance period as follows: (a) to exclude asset write-downs,
(b) to exclude litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) to exclude the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (d) to exclude accruals for
reorganization and restructuring programs, (e) to exclude any extraordinary nonrecurring items as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and/or described in managements’ discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year, (f) to exclude the dilutive and/or accretive effects of acquisitions or joint ventures, (g) to assume that any business divested
by the Company achieved performance objectives at targeted levels during the balance of a performance period following such divestiture, (h) to exclude the effect of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by reason
of any stock dividend or split, stock repurchase, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to
common stockholders other than regular cash dividends, (i) to exclude the effects of stock based compensation; (j) to exclude costs incurred in connection with potential acquisitions or divestitures that are required to be expensed under
generally accepted accounting principles and (k) to make other appropriate adjustments selected by the Committee.

 The Committee shall establish in writing the applicable performance goals (and any variation
to the adjustments specified in the preceding subparagraph (ii)), and an objective method for determining the Award earned by a Participant if the goals are attained, while the outcome is substantially uncertain, and shall determine and certify in
writing, for each Participant, the extent to which the performance goals have been met prior to payment or vesting of the Award. The Committee may reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the amount of compensation otherwise payable
under the Plan upon the attainment of the pre-established performance goals. 
 SECTION 17. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.

 No provision of the Plan, nor any right or Award granted under the Plan, shall be construed to give any person any
right to become, to be treated as, or to remain an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate any person’s Service at any time and for any reason, with or without
notice. 
 SECTION 18. SECTION 409A. 

The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the
maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of
any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such additional tax or penalty. 

Each Award that provides for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Committee from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code. If any amount under such an Award is payable upon a “separation from
service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) to a Participant who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date
that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to
interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. In addition, the settlement of any such Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

 SECTION 19. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS. 

(a) Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the Effective Date. No Award may
be granted hereunder prior to the Effective Date. The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No ISOs may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan, as amended and restated herein,
is adopted by the Board of Directors, or (ii) the date the Plan, as amended and restated herein is approved the stockholders of the Company. 

(b) Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and
from time to time. Rights and obligations under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be materially impaired by such amendment, except with consent of the Participant. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of
the Company’s stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules. 
 (c)
Effect of Termination. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards previously granted under the Plan. 

SECTION 20. AWARDS TO NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS. 

Awards may be granted to Participants who are non-United States nationals or employed
or providing services outside the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions different from those applicable to Awards to Participants who are employed or providing services in the United States as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be
necessary or desirable to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy or custom. The Committee also may impose conditions on the exercise, vesting or settlement of Awards in order to minimize the Company’s obligation with respect
to tax equalization for Participants on assignments outside their home country. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the value of any Awards or any amounts due to Participants hereunder to reflect any foreign currency conversions or
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; provided, however, that none of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuations between a Participant’s local currency and the United
States Dollar that may affect the value of any Awards or of any amounts due to a Participant hereunder. 
 SECTION 21. FORFEITURE, CANCELLATION OR
CLAWBACK OF AWARDS. 
 (a) The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments,
and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events
may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of Service for Cause or any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute Cause for termination of Service. 

(b) If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a
result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, at the discretion of the Committee, any Participant who knowingly or through gross negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross
negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, and any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall reimburse the Company for (i) the amount of any
payment in settlement of an Award received by such Participant during the twelve (12) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial
document embodying such financial reporting requirement, and (ii) any profits realized by such Participant from the sale of securities of the Company during such twelve- (12) month period. In addition, to the extent claw-back or similar
provisions applicable to Awards are required by applicable law, listing standards and/or policies adopted by the Company, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to such provisions.

The Plan, each Award Agreement and each Award and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating thereto and all
other matters shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the
conflicts of laws principles of any state.
