2.  Vesting
Schedule. This Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, in accordance with the following schedule:


 


(a)  Time-Based
Vesting. This Option will vest and become exercisable with respect to one-fourth (1/4th) of the Shares subject to the Option
on the Vesting Commencement Date, and with respect to an additional one-fourth of the Shares on the one (1) year anniversary thereafter
until fully vested; provided, however, that if the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or to provide services
to the Company as a director, consultant or independent contractor before this Option has become exercisable with respect to all
of the Shares, no additional Shares will vest after the termination of such services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unvested
Shares subject to the Option shall vest immediately upon the Company’s closing on an aggregate of at least $30,000,000 in
any combination of public and private equity and debt financings after the date hereof. This Option may be exercised, in whole
or in part, at any time or from time to time after it vests and until this Option expires pursuant Section 6 of this Option Agreement.


 






    


     


    

 


(b)  Treatment
Upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the Committee administering the Plan may take
any of the actions described in Section 14 of the Plan with respect to this Option.


 


3.  Type
of Option. If designated above as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock
Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) or otherwise fails to satisfy the requirements
of Code Section 422, it will be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option (“NSO”).


 


4.  Exercise
of Option.


 


(a)  Right
to Exercise. This Option will be exercisable during its term in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section
2 of this Option Agreement and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. This Option may not be exercised
for a fraction of a Share. No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of the Optionee’s
termination of service to the Company will thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be set forth in a written agreement
between the Company and the Optionee.


 


(b)  Duration
of Exercisability. The installments provided in the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Option Agreement are cumulative.
Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Option
Agreement will remain vested and exercisable until this Option expires pursuant Section 6 of this Option Agreement.


 


(c)  Method
of Exercise. This Option will be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the “Exercise Notice”), stating the election to exercise the Option and the number of Shares with respect
to which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and containing such other representations
and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice must be accompanied
by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. The Optionee will also be required to make adequate provision
for all withholding taxes relating to the exercise as a condition to the exercise of the Option. This Option will be deemed to
be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price and
arrangement for the adequate provision for the withholding taxes relating to the exercise.


 






    	 	2	 



     


    

 


(d)  Issuance
of Shares. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with
applicable laws. Assuming such 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 such Exercised Shares.


 


(e)  Restrictions
on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration
for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable law.


 


(f)  Investment
Representations. Unless the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, at the time this Option is exercised, the
Exercise Notice delivered to the Company by the Optionee will, if required by the Company, contain the investment representations
included in the form of Exercise Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A.


 


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


 


(a)  cash
or check; or


 


(b)  surrender
of other shares of Common Stock which (i) in the case of shares acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.


 


6.  Expiration
of Option. This Option will expire and may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following
events:


 


(a)  Expiration
of Term of Option. The Term/Expiration Date set forth in Section 1 of this Option Agreement;


 


(b)  Termination
of Service without Cause. The expiration of three months from the date of the Optionee’s voluntary or involuntary termination
of service to the Company, unless the Optionee’s service is terminated for Cause or such termination occurs by reasons of
the Optionee’s death or Disability;


 


(c)  Cause.
The date of the Optionee’s termination of service if the Optionee’s service is terminated for Cause, or the date of
written notice from the Company to the Optionee of a material breach of any confidentiality or non-compete agreement entered into
with the Company, if the Optionee commits such a material breach either during or after the Optionee’s period of service
to the Company;


 


(d)  Death
or Disability. The expiration of one year from the date of the Optionee’s death, either during or after the Optionee’s
period of service to the Company, or of termination of the Optionee’s service by reason of the Optionee’s Disability;

(e)  Cancellation
upon Change in Control. The cancellation of this Option by action of the Committee pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan, in
connection with a Change in Control of the Company.


 


7.  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 the Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement
will be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.


 


8.  Lock-Up
Period. The Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters (the “Managing
Underwriter”) in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the Company under the Securities
Act, the Optionee will not sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by the Optionee (other than those included in the registration) for such period
of time after execution of an underwriting agreement in connection with such offering for which all of the Company’s then
directors and executive officers agree to be similarly bound (the “Market Standoff Period”). The Optionee agrees
to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Underwriter which are
consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto; but the Optionee will be bound by the provisions
of this Section whether or not the Optionee executes such other agreements requested by the Company or the Managing Underwriter.
The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to
the foregoing restriction until the end of such Market Standoff Period. The Optionee agrees that any transferee of the Option
or shares acquired pursuant to the Option will be bound by this Section.


 


9.  Tax
Obligations.


 


(a)  Withholding
Taxes. The Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining
the Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements
applicable to the Option exercise. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and
refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.


 


(b)  Notice
of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to the Optionee herein is an ISO, and if the 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 years
after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee must immediately notify the Company
in writing of such disposition. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding
by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee.


 






    	 	4	 



     


    

 


10.  NO
GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE. THE OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE
HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR, OR CONSULTANT AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT
OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER). THE OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS
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, DIRECTOR, OR CONSULTANT FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP
(A) AS AN EMPLOYEE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE; (B) AS A CONSULTANT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE OPTIONEE’S AGREEMENT
WITH THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE; OR (C) AS A DIRECTOR PURSUANT TO THE BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY AND ANY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF
THE CORPORATE LAW OF THE STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE COMPANY IS DOMICILED, AS THE CASE MAY BE.


 


11.  Entire
Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the
entire agreement of the parties regarding the acquisition of stock in the Company and supersede in their entirety all prior oral
and written undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee on that subject, with the exception of any other options
previously granted and delivered to the Optionee under the Plan or any similar plan maintained by the Company or its Affiliates.
This agreement may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company
and the Optionee. This Option Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of the State
of Minnesota.

		☐	Cash
                                         or check; or



 


		☐	Surrender
                                         of other shares of Common Stock that, in the case of shares acquired from the Company,

that the Shares are being acquired in accordance with and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Plan and the
Option Agreement, and (iii) agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.


 






    	 	A-1	 



     


    

 


(b)  The
Purchaser agrees (i) to provide such additional documents as the Company may require pursuant to the terms of the Plan, (ii) to
provide for the payment by the Purchaser to the Company (in the manner designated by the Company) of the Company’s withholding
obligation, if any, relating to the exercise of the Option, and (iii) if this exercise relates to an Incentive Stock Option, to
notify the Company in writing promptly after the date of any disposition of any of the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise
of the Option that occurs within two (2) years after the date of grant of the Option or within one (1) year after such shares
of Common Stock are issued upon exercise of the Option.


 


(c)  The
Purchaser 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 Shares.


 


(d)  The
Purchaser is acquiring these Shares for investment for the Purchaser’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”).


 


(e)  The
Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Shares 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 Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Purchaser further
understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption
from such registration is available. The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation
to register the Shares.


 


(f)  The
Purchaser understands that the certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of
the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws.


 


4.  Rights
as Stockholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of
a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will
exist with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares
will be issued to the Purchaser as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement.
No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the Shares.


 


5.  Tax
Consultation. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares will have certain
tax consequences, some of which may be adverse tax consequences. The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser has consulted with
any tax consultants the Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that the Purchaser
is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

COMPANY COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE
THEREWITH.

HOLDER WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY OR THE MANAGING UNDERWRITER.


 


(b)  Stop-Transfer
Notices. The Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may
issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its
own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.


 


(c)  Refusal
to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise
transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Exercise Notice or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to
accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares are transferred in violation
of any of the provisions of this Exercise Notice.


 


7.  Binding
Effect. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Exercise Notice will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Purchaser and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan and Option Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Exercise Notice, the Plan
and the Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede
in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof,
