Pursuant to the Harvard Apparatus Regenerative

$.01 per share (the “Stock” or the “Shares”) of the Company specified above at the Option Exercise Price
per Share specified above subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. This Option is intended to be a
Nonqualified Stock Option granted under the Plan.

this Option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested. Except as set forth below and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth below, this Option shall be vested and exercisable with respect to the following number of Shares on the dates indicated:

2.      Manner
of Exercise. The Optionee may exercise the Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration
Date, the Optionee may give written notice to the Company of any election to purchase some or all of the vested Shares purchasable
at the time of such notice. Said notice shall specify the number of vested Shares to be purchased and shall be accompanied by payment
therefor by one or more of the following methods:


 


(1) In
cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;


 


(2) Through
the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or
that have been beneficially owned by the Optionee for at least six months and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company
plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; or


 


(3) By
the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in
the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures
and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment
procedure.


 


Payment instruments will be received subject
to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the Shares will be contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the
Optionee of full payment for the Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may
require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and any
subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.


 


Certificates for the shares of Stock
purchased upon exercise of this Option shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon compliance, to the satisfaction of the
Administrator, with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements
hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee.
The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock
subject to this Option unless and until this Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have
issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record
on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to
such shares of Stock.


 


The minimum number of shares with respect
to which this Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this
Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Option at the time.


 


3.      Termination
of Employment or Death of Optionee. The Option, as to any Shares not theretofore purchased, shall terminate on the earlier
of the Expiration Date or 30 days after the Optionee is no longer employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan);
provided, however, that if such termination of employment results from (i) the Optionee’s death or disability, the Option
may be exercised as to vested Shares as of the date of such termination of employment within three (3) months thereafter (but in
no event later than the Expiration Date) by the Optionee’s executors, administrators, personal representatives, or any person
or persons to whom the Option may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, but only to the extent that
the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the time of such termination of Optionee’s employment or (ii) the Optionee’s
termination for Cause (as defined below), the Option (as to all vested and unvested Shares) shall immediately terminate and be
of no further force or effect. Following the termination of the Optionee’s employment and prior to the termination of the
Option, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Option may only be exercised as to vested Shares as of the date of
the termination of the Optionee’s employment. The Option does not confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuation
of employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere with any right of the Company to terminate such employment at any time or
any employee’s “employee-at-will” status.

“Cause” as such term
relates to the termination of any person means the occurrence of one or more of the following: (i) such person is convicted of,
pleads guilty to, or confesses to any felony or any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, (ii) such person engages in
a fraudulent act to the material damage or prejudice of the Company or any Subsidiary or in conduct or activities materially damaging
to the property, business or reputation of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) any material act or omission by such person involving
malfeasance or negligence in the performance of such person’s duties to the Company or any Subsidiary to the material detriment
of the Company or any Subsidiary, which has not been corrected by such person within 30 days after written notice from the Company
of any such act or omission, (iv) failure by such person to comply in any material respect with the terms of his employment agreement,
if any, or any written policies or directives of the Board, which has not been corrected by such person within 30 days after written
notice from the Company of such failure, or (v) material breach by such person of his noncompetition agreement with the Company,
if any.


 


4.     Shares.
The Shares that are the subject of the Option are shares of the Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company as constituted on
the date of the Option, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of the Plan.


 


5.     Effect
of Certain Transactions. If (i) the Company is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the Company is not
the surviving corporation, (ii) one or more corporations are merged into the Company which continues as the surviving corporation
and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction own less than a majority of its outstanding Common Stock
immediately after the transaction, or shares of Common Stock of the Company are converted into cash, securities or property other
than shares of Common Stock of the Company, or (iii) the Company is liquidated, dissolved, or sells or otherwise disposes of all
or substantially all of its assets to another entity while any portion of the Option remains unexercised and unexpired, then in
any of such transactions the Board may, in its sole discretion, take one or more of the following actions:


 


(a)     The Compensation
Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) may cancel the Option as of the effective date of any such transaction, provided
that notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Optionee at least 15 days prior to the effective date of such transaction,
and the Optionee shall have the right to exercise so much of the Option as is exercisable during said 15-day period, including
Options which become exercisable due to acceleration of vesting, if any, by the Board;


 


(b)     The Committee
may (i) cancel the Option as to unvested Shares as of the effective date of the transaction and (ii) provide for the repurchase
of unexercised Options as to vested Shares as of the effective date of such transaction by the Company on the effective date of
such transaction for the same cash, securities or other property received with respect to each outstanding Share in the transaction
by the stockholders of the Company, less the exercise price of the Option;


 


(c)     The Committee
may provide for the voluntary exchange of the Option on the effective date of such transaction for an option or other rights granted
by a successor corporation on terms reasonably acceptable to the Optionee; or


 


(d)     The Committee
may provide that after the effective date of such transaction, the Optionee shall be entitled upon exercise of the Option as to
any vested Shares to receive in lieu of each Share purchasable under the Option the same cash, securities or other property received
with respect each outstanding Share in the transaction by the stockholders of the Company.


 


Upon the consummation of a Sale Event (as
defined in the Plan) or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), in either case, following the grant date of
the Option, the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable with respect to all of the Shares as of the effective time of
the Sale Event or the occurrence of the Change of Control, respectively.


 


6.     Transferability.
 This Option is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or
otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s
lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee.
