Exhibit
A


 


NON-PLAN INDUCEMENT STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


 


Pursuant to the Non-Plan
Inducement Stock Option Award Notice Of Grant (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Non-Plan
Inducement Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, AppTech Corp. (the “Company”),
has granted you an option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock (the “Common
Stock”) indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. This option is granted outside
of the Company’s 2020 Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”), as a material inducement to you entering into employment
with the Company, and effective as of the date of grant set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Date of Grant”). The shares
of Common Stock underlying this option shall not reduce and shall have no impact on the number of shares available for grant under the
Plan.


 


The details of your
option, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, are as follows:


 


1.                  
Vesting. Subject to the provisions contained herein,
your option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice. Vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service; provided,
that, the option shall vest and become exercisable as to all previously unvested shares of Common Stock upon a termination of employment
described in Section 6(c) or Section 9(a).


 


2.                  
Number of Shares and Exercise Price. The number of
shares of Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share in your Grant Notice will be adjusted for Capitalization
Adjustments as defined in Section 16.


 


3.                  
Exercise. Subject to your full compliance at all times with
the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and Section 4 of this Agreement:


 


(a)                
You may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by (i) delivering a Notice
of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) or completing such other documents and/or procedures designated by the Company for exercise
and (ii) paying the exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes to the Company’s Secretary, stock plan administrator, or
such other person as the Company may designate, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.


 


(b)                
By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option, the
Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation
of the Company arising by reason of (i) the exercise of your option, (ii) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the
shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (iii) the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.


 


(c)                
By exercising your option you agree that you will not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short
sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale
with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by you, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days
following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company will request to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2241 or
any successor or similar rules or regulation (the “Lock-Up Period”). You further agree to execute and deliver
such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters that are consistent with the foregoing or that
are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to your shares of Common Stock until the end of such period. You also agree that any transferee of any shares of Common Stock
(or other securities) of the Company held by you will be bound by this Section 3(c). The underwriters of the Company’s stock are
intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 3(c) and will have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof
as though they were a party hereto.


 






    1


     


    

 







(d)                
The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of your option, or any portion thereof,
may be either previously authorized but unissued shares, treasury stock or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company.
Such shares of Common Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable.


 


(e)                
Any exercisable portion of your option or the entire option, if then wholly exercisable, may
be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section
6 hereof; provided, however, that you may exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock.


 


4.                  
Exercise Restrictions. 


 


(a)                
If you are an Employee eligible for overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act
of 1938, as amended (that is, a “Non-Exempt Employee”), you may not exercise your option until you have completed at
least six (6) months of Continuous Service measured from the Date of Grant, even if you have already been an employee for more than six
(6) months. Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, you may exercise your option as to any vested portion
prior to such six (6) month anniversary in the case of (i) your death or Disability, (ii) a Change of Control or (iii) your termination
of Continuous Service on your “retirement” (as defined in the Company’s benefit plans).


 










(b)                
In no event may you exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
are then registered under the Securities Act or, if not registered, the Company has determined that your exercise and the issuance of
the shares would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option also must comply with
all other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such
exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations (including any restrictions on exercise required for compliance
with Treas. Reg. 1.401(k)-1(d)(3), if applicable).


 


(d)                
No unvested portion of the option may be exercised.


 


5.                  
Method of Payment. You must pay the full amount of
the exercise price for the shares you wish to exercise. You may pay the exercise price in cash or by check, bank draft or money order
payable to the Company or in one or more of the following ways if authorized by the Board:


 


(a)                
Provided that, (i) at the time of exercise the Company has registered the shares of Common Stock
underlying your option and (ii) at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation
T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check)
by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.
This manner of payment is also known as a “broker-assisted exercise”, “same day sale”, or “sell to cover”.


 






    2


     


    

 







(b)                
Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded, by delivery to the
Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of already-owned shares of Common Stock that are owned free and clear of any liens,
claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. “Delivery” for
these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, will include delivery to the Company of your
attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a form approved by the Company. You may not exercise your option by delivery
to the Company of Common Stock if doing so would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption
of the Company’s stock.


 


(c)                
Subject to the consent of the Company at the time of exercise, by a “net exercise”
arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option by the
largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. You must pay any remaining
balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by the “net exercise” in cash or other permitted form of payment. Shares
of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under your option and will not be exercisable thereafter if those shares (i) are used to
pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (ii) are delivered to you as a result of such exercise, and (iii) are
withheld to satisfy your tax withholding obligations.


 


6.                  
Term. You may not exercise your option before the Date
of Grant or after the expiration of the option’s term. The term of your option expires, subject to the terms and conditions of your
Employment Agreement (as defined in your Grant Notice), upon the earliest of the following:


 


(a)                
immediately if the Employment Agreement and Confidentiality Agreement are not executed by you
on or before December 15, 2021; 


 


(b)                
immediately upon the termination of your Continuous Service for Cause (as defined in the Employment
Agreement), in which case the entire unexercised portion of the option shall be forfeit;


 


(c)                
forty-five (45) days after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other than
Cause, Disability, or your death (except as otherwise provided in Section 6(e) below); provided, however, that
if during any part of such forty-five (45) day period your option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in the
Section 4(b) hereof, your option will not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it has been exercisable for an aggregate
period of forty-five (45) days after the termination of your Continuous Service; provided further, that if (i) you are a Non-Exempt Employee,
(ii) your Continuous Service terminates within six (6) months after the Date of Grant, and (iii) you have vested in a portion of your
option at the time of your termination of Continuous Service, your option will not expire until the earlier of (x) the later of (A) the
date that is seven (7) months after the Date of Grant, and (B) the date that is forty-five (45) days after the termination of your Continuous
Service, and (y) the Expiration Date; 


 


(d)                
forty-five (45) days after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability
(except as otherwise provided in Section 6(e)) below;


 


(e)                
twelve (12) months after your death if you die during your Continuous Service, provided that
the option shall cease to vest on the date of death; or


 


(f)                 
the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice.


 






    3


     


    

 


7.                  
Termination of Employment or Service/Breach of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement.
The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to termination of
your Continuous Service, including without limitation, whether a termination has occurred, whether any termination resulted from a discharge
for Cause and whether any particular leave of absence constitutes a termination of your Continuous Service, as well as whether you have
fully complied with the Restrictive Covenants for purposes of this Agreement.


 


8.                  
Restrictions on Transferability. By accepting the option,
you acknowledge that neither the option nor the underlying shares of Common Stock have been registered as of the Date of Grant and that
the Company has no obligation to register the option or the underlying Common Stock subsequent to the Date of Grant. If the Company does
not register the shares underlying the option prior to exercise, any shares of Common Stock purchased by you upon exercise of the option
will be restricted and may only be transferred in compliance with Rule 144. You hereby represent that you are familiar with the provisions
of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities”
acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions
directly with a market maker (as this term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)),
(2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of securities being sold during any three
(3) month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(c), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.
Accordingly, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, your option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you.


 


(a)                
Certain Trusts. Upon receiving written permission from
the Board or its duly authorized designee, you may transfer your option to a trust if you are considered to be the sole beneficial owner
(determined under Section 671 of the Code and applicable state law) while the option is held in the trust. You and the trustee must enter
into transfer and other agreements required by the Company.


 


(b)                
Domestic Relations Orders. Upon receiving written permission
from the Board or its duly authorized designee, and provided that you and the designated transferee enter into transfer and other agreements
required by the Company, you may transfer your option pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order that contains the information
required by the Company to effectuate the transfer. You are encouraged to discuss the proposed terms of any division of this option with
the Company prior to finalizing the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement to help ensure the required information is
contained within the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement.


 


(c)                
Beneficiary Designation. Upon receiving written permission
from the Board or its duly authorized designee, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form approved by the Company
and any broker designated by the Company to handle option exercises, designate a third party who, on your death, will thereafter be entitled
to exercise this option and receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from such exercise. In the absence of such a designation,
your executor or administrator of your estate will be entitled to exercise this option and receive, on behalf of your estate, the Common
Stock or other consideration resulting from such exercise.


 






    4


     


    

 


9.                  
Change in Control. 


 


(a)                
If, within the three (3)-month period preceding, or the twelve (12)-month period following, a
Change of Control, the Company terminates your employment without Cause or on account of disability, or the you terminate your employment
with the Company for Good Reason, then, (i) your option shall become fully vested and exercisable, and (ii) the forfeiture conditions
applicable to your option shall lapse (but, your obligations under the Restrictive Covenants and this Agreement shall not lapse).


 


(b)                
This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize
or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part
of its business or assets.


 


10.               
Tax Consequences. You hereby agree that the Company does
not have a duty to design or administer compensation programs in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities. You will not make any claim
against the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from your option or
your other compensation. In particular, you acknowledge that this option is exempt from Section 409A of the Code only if the exercise
price per share specified in the Grant Notice is at least equal to the “fair market value” per share of the Common Stock on
the Date of Grant and there is no other impermissible deferral of compensation associated with the option. The Compensation Committee
may, in its discretion, adopt such amendments to the applicable provisions of this Agreement or the Grant Notice or adopt other policies
and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Compensation
Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.


 


11.               
No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing
you any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your acquisition or sale of the Common
Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors before taking any action related to
your option.


 


12.               
No Right to Continuous Service. Your option is not
an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part
to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition,
nothing in your option will obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective shareholders, boards of directors, officers or employees
to continue any relationship that you might have as a director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.


 


13.               
No Rights as Stockholder. You will not be, nor have any
of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in
respect of any shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the option unless and until such shares of Common Stock
shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by you (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the shares of Common Stock are issued.


 


14.               
Optionee’s Representations. If the shares of Common
Stock purchasable pursuant to the exercise of your option have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws
on an effective registration statement at the time this option is exercised, you shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with
the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, make such written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company
and/or its counsel.


 






    5


     


    

 


15.               
Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding
any other applicable provision of this Agreement, if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then your option and this Agreement
shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including
any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.


 


16.               
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, terms defined
in the Grant Notice and used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Grant Notice, terms otherwise defined herein will
have the meanings assigned to them elsewhere in this Agreement, and the following terms have the meanings given below:


 


“Affiliate”
means (i) any entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by the Company and (ii) any entity
in which the Company has a significant equity interest, in each case as determined by the Compensation Committee.


 


“Disability”
shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Employment Agreement.


 


“Capitalization
Adjustment” means any change that is made in, or other events that occur with respect to, the Common Stock without the receipt
of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend
in property other than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of
shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company will not be treated as a Capitalization Adjustment. References to “shares”
in this Agreement refer to shares of Common Stock.


 


“Cause”
shall have the meaning given in the Employment Agreement.


 


“Change of Control”
shall mean the consummation of the first to occur of (i) the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to any person or group (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act); (ii) the adoption
by the stockholders of the Company of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (ii) the merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into another entity or the merger of another entity into the Company or any subsidiary thereof with the effect
that immediately after such transaction the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction (or their related parties)
hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of all securities generally entitled to vote in the election of
directors, managers or trustees of the entity surviving such merger of consolidation; or (iv) the acquisition by any person
or group of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of all securities of the Company generally entitled to
vote in the election of directors of the Company.


 


“Continuous Service”
means that your service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as an employee, director or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated.
A change in the capacity in which you render service to the Company or an Affiliate as an employee, director or Consultant or a change
in the entity for which you render such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of your service with the Company
or an Affiliate, will not terminate your Continuous Service; provided, however, that if the entity for which you are rendering services
ceases to qualify as an Affiliate, as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, your Continuous Service will be considered to have
terminated on the date such entity ceases to qualify as an Affiliate. For example, a change in status from an employee of the Company
to a Consultant of an Affiliate or to a director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. To the extent permitted by
law, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service will be considered interrupted in the
case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Board or chief executive officer, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal
leave, or (ii) transfers between the Company, an Affiliate, or their successors.


 






    6


     


    

 


“Consultant”
means any person, including an advisor, who is (i) engaged by the Company or an Affiliate to render consulting or advisory services and
is compensated for such services, or (ii) serving as a member of the board of directors of an Affiliate and is compensated for such services.
However, service solely as a director, or payment of a fee for such service, will not cause a director to be considered a “Consultant”
for purposes of this Agreement.


 


17.               
Notices. Any notices provided for in your option will
be given in writing (including electronically) and will be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered
by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address
you provided to the Company. 


 


18.               
Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of this
option will not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating your benefits under any
employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly
reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s employee benefit plans.


 


19.               
Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement is declared
by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity will not invalidate any portion of this
Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any section of this Agreement (or part of such a section) so declared to be unlawful
or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such section or part of a section to the
fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.


 


20.               
Entire Agreement. The Grant Notice, the Restrictive Covenants
and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety
all prior undertakings and agreements between you and the Company regarding the option.


 


21.               
Notice of Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this grant
or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such
litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of San Diego County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the
Southern District of California and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.


 


22.               
Conformity to Securities Laws. You acknowledges that this
Agreement is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange, and any and all regulations
and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be administered, and the option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a

    7


     


    

 


23.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

Corp.
	 	 	 
	
SECURITIES:	 	
Common Stock

In connection with the purchase
of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:


 


(a)       The
Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company
to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for
the Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).


 


(b)       The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and
have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Optionee understands
that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Optionee’s
representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified
under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of
one year or any other fixed period in the future. The Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless
they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Optionee further acknowledges
and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. The Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing
the Securities will be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.


 


(c)       The
Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited
public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s
transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934),
(2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three
month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.
Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur
not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an
affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by
a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections
(1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.


 






    B-1


     


    

 


(d)       The
Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under
the Securities Act, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise
than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available
for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
The Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.


 


(e)       The
Optionee further understands and acknowledges that all sales of Securities must be done in compliance with the Company’s then applicable
insider trading policy.
