 THIS
AGREEMENT is dated and made effective as of May 30, 2008 by and between API NANOTRONICS CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Thomas W. Mills, Sr. (“Optionee”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, Optionee on the date
hereof is an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant an incentive stock option to
Optionee to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company originally authorized the grant of an incentive stock option to Optionee on December 26, 2006 (the “Effective Date”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Optionee previously agreed as of July 2, 2007 to reprice that certain Incentive Stock Option Agreement, dated as of the
Effective Date, between the Company and the Optionee; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Optionee have agreed to reprice the Incentive Stock
Option Agreement dated July 2, 2007; and 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that, on the date hereof, the
Fair Market Value of Option Stock of the Company is not less than the exercise price per share provided below. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of
Option. The Company hereby grants to Optionee as of the date hereof the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase up to Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of Option Stock (“Shares”) at an exercise
price of $0.1005 per share on the terms and conditions set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. This Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422, or any
successor provision, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder. 
 All
capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 







 2. Duration and Exercisability. 
 a. Vesting/Exercise Period. The Option shall become exercisable as to portions of the Shares as follows: (i) the Option shall not be
exercisable with respect to any of the Shares until the first anniversary of the Effective Date (the “First Vesting Date”); (ii) if Optionee has continuously provided services to the Company or any Subsidiary from the Effective
Date through the First Vesting Date and has not been Terminated (as hereafter defined) on or before the First Vesting Date, then on the First Vesting Date the Option shall become exercisable as to twenty percent (20%) of the Shares; and
(iii) thereafter, provided that Optionee continuously provides services to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and is not Terminated, upon each of the four successive anniversaries of the First Vesting Date, the Option shall become
exercisable as to an additional twenty percent (20%) of the Shares; provided, that the Option shall in no event ever become exercisable with respect to more than 100% of the Shares. The Shares vesting under the Option have been limited to the
number of Shares allowed to conform to the $100,000 limit set forth at Section 9.1(b) of the Plan. 
 b. Expiration. The Option
shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (“Expiration Date”) and must be exercised, if at all, on or before the earlier of the Expiration Date and any date on which the Option terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3. 
 c. Lapse Upon Expiration. To the extent that this Option is not exercised prior to the applicable
expiration date set forth in Section 2(b) or Section 3 of this Agreement, all rights of Optionee under this Option shall thereupon be forfeited. 
 3. Termination. 
 a. Termination for Any Reason Other than Death, Disability or a Change of
Control. If Optionee is Terminated for any reason other than his death, Disability or a Change of Control (both terms as hereafter defined), this Option shall be exercisable only to the extent the Option was exercisable on the date of
Termination, but had not previously been exercised, and shall expire on the earlier of (i) the close of business three months after the Termination Date (as hereafter defined) and (ii) the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Optionee is terminated for Cause, then the Option shall terminate immediately on the Optionee’s Termination Date. 
 b.
Termination Because of Death or Disability. If Optionee is Terminated because of his death or his Disability (or Optionee dies within three (3) months after a Termination other than because of his Disability or because of the existence
of Cause), then this Option shall be exercisable by Optionee, or the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights under this Option shall have passed by Optionee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution, only to the extent the
Option was exercisable on the date of Optionee’s Termination, but had not previously been exercised, and shall expire on the earlier of: (i) the close of business six months after Optionee’s Termination Date and (ii) the
Expiration Date.

 c. Definitions. 
 “Termination” or “Terminated” means that Optionee has for any reason ceased to provide services as an employee of the Company or Subsidiary of the Company, except in the case of sick
leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Committee, provided that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days, or reinstatement upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.
The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether Optionee has ceased to provide services and the effective date on which Optionee ceased to provide services (the “Termination Date”). 
 “Disability” means a permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code (as provided under
Section 422(c)(6), or such applicable successor provision, of the Code), as determined by the Committee. 
 “Cause”
means that Optionee: 
 (a) shall have been convicted of any felony or a crime involving fraud, theft, misappropriation,
dishonesty or embezzlement; 
 (b) shall have committed intentional acts that materially impair the goodwill or business of
the Company or any Subsidiary or cause material damage to its property, goodwill or business; or 
 (c) shall have failed to
perform his material duties to the Company or any Subsidiary (other than as a result of a short-term disability (i.e., a disability that does not fall within the previously defined parameters of a Disability)), or a short term disability or medical
emergency involving a member of the Optionee’s immediate family, or as a result of any Company approved leave). 
 4. Manner of
Exercise. 
 a. General. The Option may be exercised only by Optionee (or other proper party in the event of death or
Disability), subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, and subject to such other administrative rules as the Committee deems advisable, by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal office. The notice shall
state the number of Shares exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option price for all Shares exercised pursuant to the notice. Any exercise of the Option shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Company together
with payment that complies with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Option may be exercised with respect to any number or all of the shares as to which it can then be exercised and, if partially exercised, may be so exercised as to the
unexercised shares at any time and from time to time prior to expiration of the Option as provided in this Agreement. 
 b. Form of
Payment. Subject to approval by the Committee, payment of the Option price by Optionee shall be in the form of cash, personal check, certified check, or where permitted by law and provided that a public market for the Company’s stock
exists: (i) through a 

  

 3 








 
“same day sale” commitment from Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (a
“FINRA Dealer”) whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the exercise price and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares
to forward the exercise price directly to the Company; or (ii) through a “margin” commitment from Optionee and a FINRA Dealer whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the
FINRA Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the FINRA Dealer in the amount of the exercise price, and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the exercise price directly to the Company.
Optionee shall be solely responsible for any income or other tax consequences from any payment for Shares with Optionee’s Common Stock of the Company. 
 c. Stock Transfer Records. Provided that the notice of exercise and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, as soon as practicable after the effective exercise of all or any
part of the Option, Optionee shall be recorded on the stock transfer books of the Company as the owner of the Shares purchased, and the Company shall deliver to Optionee, or to the FINRA Dealer, as the case may be, one or more duly issued stock
certificates evidencing such ownership. All requisite original issue or transfer documentary stamp taxes shall be paid by the Company. Optionee shall pay all other costs of the Company incurred to issue such Shares to such FINRA Dealer. 

Shares purchased pursuant to exercise hereunder: (i) may be deposited with a FINRA Dealer designated by Optionee, in street name, if so provided
in such exercise notice accompanied by all applications and forms reasonably required by the Committee to effect such deposit, or (ii) may be issued to Optionee and such other person, as joint owners with the right of survivorship, as is
specifically described in such exercise notice. Optionee shall be solely responsible for any income or other tax consequences of such a designation of ownership hereunder (or the severance thereof). 
 5. Miscellaneous. 
 a.
Employment Rights as Shareholder. This Agreement shall not confer on Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it affect the right of the Company to Terminate such employment.
Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to this Option until such Shares are issued to Optionee upon the exercise of this Option. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extra-ordinary, whether in
cash, securities or other property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan. 
 b. Securities Law Compliance. The exercise of the Option and the issuance and transfer of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and
Optionee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. The Company
shall not be required to sell or issue any Shares if such issuance would constitute a violation of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority.

 c. Mergers, Recapitalization, Stock Splits, Etc. The provisions of Sections 14 and 17 of the Plan,
as amended effective as of the date hereof, shall govern all Options in the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, change in par value, stock split-up, combination of shares or dividend payable in
capital stock, or other such transaction described under Sections 14 and 17 of the Plan, and the Company reserves all discretion provided therein. 
 d. Withholding Taxes on Disqualifying Disposition. In the event of a disqualifying disposition of the Shares acquired through the exercise of this Option, Optionee hereby agrees to promptly provide the Company written notice of such
disposition, which notice shall be deemed delivered when received by the Company. Upon notice of a disqualifying disposition, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that, if necessary to comply with all applicable federal
or state income tax laws or regulations, all applicable federal and state payroll, income or other taxes are withheld from any amounts payable by the Company to Optionee. If the Company is unable to withhold such federal and state taxes, for
whatever reason, Optionee hereby agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold under federal or state law. Optionee may, subject to the approval and discretion of the Committee or such
administrative rules it may deem advisable, elect to have all or a portion of such tax withholding obligations satisfied by delivering shares of the Company’s Common Stock having a fair market value equal to such obligations. For the purpose of
this Section 5(d), a “disqualifying disposition” means a sale or other transfer of any Shares on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the date hereof and (ii) the date one (1) year after
transfer of such Shares to Optionee upon exercise of the Option, as more particularly set forth at Section 422(a)(1) of the Code 
 e.
Nontransferability. The Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. The terms of the Option shall be
binding upon the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Participant. 
 f. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The Option
evidenced by this Agreement is granted pursuant to the Plan, as amended as of the Effective Date, a copy of which Plan has been made available to Optionee and is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. This Agreement shall be subject to and in all
respects limited and conditioned as provided in the Plan. The Plan governs this Option and, in the event of any questions as to the construction of this Agreement or in the event of a conflict between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall
govern, except as the Plan otherwise provides. 
 g. Stock Legend. The Committee may require that the certificates for any Shares
purchased by Optionee (or, in the case of death, Optionee’s successors) bear an appropriate legend to reflect the restrictions of applicable law.

having an interest in the Option granted under this Agreement and the Plan.

shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, the Option shall be binding upon Optionee and Optionee’s heirs, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns. 
 l. Governing Law. The Option shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to that body of law pertaining to choice of law or conflict of law.
