II. AGREEMENT


 


1. Grant of Option.
The Administrator grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant in Part I of this Option Agreement,
an Option to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in
the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement,
the terms and conditions of the Plan prevail.


 


If designated in the Notice
of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Code
section 422. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code section 422(d), this Option will be treated
as a Nonstatutory/Non-Qualified Stock Option.


 


2. Exercise of Option.


 


(a) Right to Exercise.
This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with
the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.


 


(b) Method of Exercise.
This Option is exercisable by (i) delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise
Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will state the election to
exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and other representations and agreements
as may be required by the Company and (ii) paying the Company in full the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Shares being acquired, together
with any applicable tax withholding.


 


This Option will be deemed to
be exercised upon receipt by the Company of a fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with
any applicable tax withholding.


 


No Shares will be issued pursuant
to the exercise of an Option unless the issuance and exercise of Shares complies with applicable state and federal laws (“Applicable
Laws”). Assuming compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares will be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date
on which the Option is exercised with respect to the Shares.


 


3. Method of Payment.
The aggregate Exercise Price may be paid by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:


 


(a) cash;


 


(b) check;


 


(c) to the extent not prohibited
by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a promissory note;


 


(d) other shares of Company
Common Stock, provided Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as
to which said Option will be exercised;


 


(e) by asking the Company to
withhold Shares from the total Shares to be delivered upon exercise equal to the number of Shares having a value equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Shares being acquired;


 


(f) any combination of the foregoing
methods of payment; or


 


(g) such other consideration
and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

Option Number XX-XXXX-X

4. Restrictions on
Exercise. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration
for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. The Company will be relieved of any liability with respect to any
delayed issuance of shares or its failure to issue shares if such delay or failure is necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.


 


5. Non-Transferability
of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may
be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement are binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.


 


6. Term of Option.
This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during the term only
in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.


 


7. Tax Obligations.


 


(a) Withholding Taxes.
Optionee agrees to arrange for the satisfaction of all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements
applicable to the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver
the Shares if withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.


 


(b) Notice of Disqualifying
Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee is an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), and if
Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two
(2) years after the Grant Date, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, the Optionee must immediately notify the
Company of the disposition in writing. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation
income recognized by the Optionee.


 


(c) Code Section 409A.
Under Code section 409A, an Option that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date (a “discount option”)
may be considered deferred compensation. An Option that is a discount option may result in (i) income recognition by the Optionee prior
to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. Optionee
acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share Exercise Price of this Option equals
or exceeds Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date in a later examination. Optionee agrees that if the IRS determines that the
Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, Optionee will
be solely responsible for any and all resulting tax consequences.


 


8. No Guarantee of Continued
Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING
AS AN EMPLOYEE AND/OR DIRECTOR (AS APPLICABLE) AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING OPTIONEE)
AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT THIS OPTION AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN EMPLOYEE AND/OR DIRECTOR (AS APPLICABLE) FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT
ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING
OR RETAINING OPTIONEE) TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS AN EMPLOYEE OR DIRECTOR AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

the power to determine what constitutes a breach or threatened breach of this Option Agreement or the Plan. The Administrator’s
