**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

The information regarding the Subscription Agreements, the option agreements and the advisory agreements set forth in Items 3.02, 5.02, and 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Subscription Agreements, option agreements, and advisory agreements is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities**

On June 10, 2025, Netcapital Inc. (the "Company") entered into subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") with ten accredited investors to issue an aggregate of 118,750 shares (the "Shares") of common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share (the "Purchase Price") in a private placement, for gross proceeds of $475,000. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement on providing for the resale of the Shares (the "Resale Registration Statement") within 60 calendar days of the initial closing of the private placement (the "Filing Date") and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 90 calendar days following the final closing of the private placement date of the Filing Date. Until the shares are sold in accordance with applicable law, the Subscriber agrees to vote the shares in favor of all resolutions recommended by the Company's Board of Directors, and to deliver any proxy or voting instruction required by the Company to effectuate this obligation. The Subscription Agreements include a price adjustment provision whereby if the Company issues additional shares at a price lower than the Purchase Price during the period beginning on the date of the Subscription Agreements and prior to the date that is 6-months following the Filing Date, investors will receive additional shares to reflect the lower price, subject to the minimum price as defined under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) on the date the Subscription Agreements were signed, which was $2.56. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.

The Company also issued non-qualified stock options under the Netcapital 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan") to officers and advisors, all of whom are accredited investors as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") as described in Items 5.02 and 8.01 below.

The above referenced shares of common stock and options (and any securities issued upon exercise of the options) were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

The information set forth in Items 5.02 and 8.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

A copy of the form of the Subscription Agreements is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Exhibit 10.1 filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

**5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers**

On June 9, 2025, the Company granted stock options under the Plan to Martin Kay, Chief Executive Officer, and Coreen Kraysler, Chief Financial Officer, as follows:

Martin Kay: 55,000 options

Coreen Kraysler: 55,000 options

These options were issued under the terms of a stock option agreement and are immediately exercisable, fully vested, have a four-year term, and have an exercise price of $2.68 per share, which is equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The options were structured to qualify as incentive stock options to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, because the aggregate grant-date fair value of the options, as calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, exceeds $100,000, the excess portion will be treated as non-qualified stock options in accordance with applicable tax rules.

The foregoing description of the stock option agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Exhibit 10.2 filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On June 6, 2025, the Board approved an amendment to the Plan (the "Amendment"), subject to stockholder approval, to:

● Increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 1,300,000 shares, from 247,556 to a total of 1,547,556 shares, and

● Increase the evergreen limit from 5% to 10% of the Company's outstanding shares, to allow for greater flexibility in future equity awards.

The Company also granted additional non-qualified stock options under the Plan, as amended, to Mr. Kay and Ms. Kraysler, subject to stockholder approval, as follows:

Martin Kay: 100,000 options

Coreen Kraysler: 100,000 options

These options were issued pursuant to a form of stock option agreement entered into between the Company and optionee and such options are fully vested and have a four-year term and an exercise price of $2.68 per share, but such options are not exercisable unless and until the Amendment is approved by the Company's stockholders.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the option awards to Mr. Kay and Ms. Kraysler, as calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is $822,900. The information set forth in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the stock option agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Exhibit 10.3 filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

A copy of the Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.4.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Exhibit 10.4 filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K

The initial term of each advisory agreement is eighteen months and may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties. In consideration of the services rendered under these advisory agreements, the Company agreed to issue a total of 783,722 non-qualified stock options to the advisors of the Crypto and Game Advisory Boards under the Plan as amended by the Amendment. In addition, the Company granted 80,000 nonqualified stock options to one employee of the Company.

These stock options were granted and issued pursuant to a form of stock option agreement between the Company and each optionee. These option have the following terms:

● Fully vested as of the grant date (June 6, 2025)

● Not exercisable unless and until stockholders approve the amendment to the Plan

● Have a four-year term from the date of grant

● Have an exercise price of $2.68 per share, equal to the fair market value on the date of grant

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the 863,722 granted options, which are subject to shareholder approval, calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is $2,293,000.

The foregoing description of the stock option agreement and the advisory agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Exhibit 10.3and Exhibit 10.5, respectively, filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

3. <u>Subscriber Representations and Warranties</u>. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company
 and its affiliates as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The
 Subscriber is acquiring the Common Stock for the Subscriber's own account as principal, not as a nominee or agent, for investment
 purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part and no other
 person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such Common Stock. Further, the Subscriber does not have any contract, undertaking,

 or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intentions;

(ii) The
 Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber's investment, has adequate means for providing

 under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The
 Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If
 the Subscriber is an entity duly incorporated or formed, it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
 of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority
 to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder
 and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by Subscriber of the transactions contemplated by this
 Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable,
 on the part of Subscriber; and

(ii) The
 Subscriber has been given the opportunity for a reasonable time prior to the date hereof to ask questions of, and receive answers
 from, the Company or its representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the this offering, and other matters pertaining to
 this investment, and has been given the opportunity for a reasonable time prior to the date hereof to obtain such additional information
 in connection with the Company in order for the Subscriber to evaluate the merits and risks of purchase of the Common Stock, to the
 extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense; and

(iii) The
 Subscriber has not been furnished with any oral representation or oral information in connection with the offering of the Common
 Stock; and

(iv) The
 Subscriber has determined that the shares of Common Stock are a suitable investment for the Subscriber and that at this time the

(v) The
 Subscriber is not relying on the Company or its affiliates with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment; and

(vi) The
 Subscriber realizes that it may not be able to resell readily any of the securities comprising the Common Stock purchased hereunder
 because (A) there may only be a limited public market for any such securities and (B) none of such securities have been registered
 under the Securities Act or any state "blue sky" laws; and

(vii) The
 Subscriber understands that the Company has the absolute right to refuse to consent to the transfer or assignment of the Common Stock,
 if such transfer or assignment does not comply with applicable state and federal securities laws; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) No
 representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company, or any officer, employee, agent, affiliate or subsidiary
 of the Company, other than the representations of the Company in this Agreement; and

(ix) The
 Subscriber and the Subscriber's attorney, accountant, representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the "Advisors"),
 have received the documents, if any, requested by the Subscriber, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained
 therein, and the Subscriber and the Advisors, if any, prior to the execution of this Agreement, have had access to the same kind
 of information which would be available in a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act; and

(x) All
 documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment in the Common Stock have been made available for inspection by the Subscriber

 (oral or written) other than as stated in the documents, if any, requested by the Subscriber or answers to questions so furnished
 to the Subscriber or the Advisors by the Company; and

(xii) The
 Subscriber is unaware of, is no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Common Stock through or as a result
 of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or
 other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with
 the offering and sale of the Common Stock and is not subscribing for Common Stock and did not become aware of the offering of the
 Common Stock through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Subscriber was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription
 by, a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally; and

(xiii) The
 Subscriber has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders' fees or
 the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(xiv) The
 Subscriber and the Advisors have such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments
 in securities, so as to enable them to utilize the information made available to them in connection with the offering of the Common
 Stock to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Stock and the Company and to make an informed investment decision
 with respect thereto; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xv) The
 Subscriber is acquiring the Common Stock solely for such Subscriber's own account for investment and not with a view to resale
 or distribution thereof, in whole or in part. The Subscriber has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with
 any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the securities comprising the Common Stock subscribed for hereunder; and the Subscriber
 has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement; and

(xvi) The
 Subscriber must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Common Stock offered hereby indefinitely because none
 of the Common Stock may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
 applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Common
 Stock subscribed for hereunder to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities
 laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company's stock books. Stop transfer instructions will
 be placed with the transfer agent of the securities comprising the Common Stock subscribed for hereunder; and

(xvii) Within
 five day after receipt of a request from the Company, the Subscriber will provide such information and deliver such document as may
 reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject; and

**<u>SECTION 6</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 <u>Registration Rights.</u> Within sixty (60) days following the initial closing of the Offering (the "Filing Deadline"), the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of the securities comprising the Common Stock purchased by the Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement. If the Company fails to file a registration statement covering the resale of the securities comprising the Common Stock by the Filing Deadline ("Filing Failure"), then the Company shall pay to the Subscriber an amount in cash equal to two percent (2%) of the Total Purchase Price paid by Subscriber for the Common Stock (i) on the date of such Filing Failure and (ii) on every thirty (30) day anniversary of the Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured. The payments to which Subscriber shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.1 are referred to herein as "Registration Delay Payments." Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for such Filing Failure (which shall be paid on the date of such event or failure, as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such Filing Failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3rd) Business Day after such cure. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable following its filing, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days following the final closing of the Offering. The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the registrable securities have been sold by the Subscriber, or (ii) the date on which all of the registrable securities may be sold by the Subscriber without restriction under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Until the shares are sold in accordance with applicable law, the Subscriber agrees to vote the shares in favor of all resolutions recommended by the Company's Board of Directors, and to deliver any proxy or voting instruction required by the Company to effectuate this obligation.

6.2 <u>Purchase Price Adjustment.</u> In the event that the Company shall at any time following one day after this agreement is signed and accepted, and prior to the date that is 6 months following the date on which the Company first registers the shares for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Date"), issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) for a consideration per share less than $4.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and the like) (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then the Company shall issue to the Investor, for no additional consideration, such number of additional shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to reduce the effective purchase price per share paid by the Investor hereunder to the lowest per share price at which such Common Stock are issued in the Dilutive Issuance (the "Adjusted Price"). However, the Adjusted Price shall not result in an effective price per share that is less than the Minimum Price as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall receive additional shares such that the total number of shares held by the Investor after such adjustment equals the number of shares that would have been issued if the Investor had originally subscribed at the Adjusted Price.

**Exclusions.** The foregoing adjustment shall not apply to:

(a) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof;

(b) shares issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend;

(c) shares issued under any equity incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors; or

(d) shares issued in connection with a strategic transaction approved by the Board of Directors, the primary purpose of which is not to raise capital.

**Measurement Date.** The Adjusted Price shall be measured with respect to the issuance or sale price in any Dilutive Issuance occurring at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the 6-month anniversary of the Registration Date, or (ii) a Change of Control of the Company.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A | **APPLICABLE TO INDIVIDUALS ONLY.** Please answer the following questions concerning your financial condition as an "accredited investor" (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D). If the Investor is more than one individual, each individual must initial an answer where the question indicates a "yes" or "no" response, indicating to which individual it applies. The Investor must answer "yes" in response to question 1, 2 or 3 below to be considered an "accredited investor." If the Investor is purchasing jointly with his or her spouse, one answer may be indicated for the couple as a whole: |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Does
 your net worth\*, or joint net worth with your spouse, exceed $1,000,000?

Yes______ No______

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Did
 you have an individual income \*\* in excess of $200,000, or joint income together with your spouse in excess of $300,000, in each
 of the two most recent years (2023 and 2024) and do you reasonably expect to reach the same income level in the current year (2025)?

Yes______ No______

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Are
 you an executive officer or director of Netcapital Inc?

Yes______ No______

**\***For purposes hereof net worth shall be deemed to include ALL of your assets, liquid or illiquid (including such items as a house, furnishings, automobile and restricted securities) MINUS any liabilities (including such items as home mortgages and other debts and liabilities). However, your primary residence shall not be included as an asset. Indebtedness that is secured by your primary residence, up to the estimated fair market value of the primary residence shall not be included as a liability, but any amount of such excess shall be included as a liability. Refer to <u>Title 17, Chapter II Part 230</u> for more information.

**\*\*** For purposes hereof the term "income" is not limited to "adjusted gross income" as that term is defined for federal income tax purposes, but rather includes certain items of income which are deducted in computing "adjusted gross income." For investors who are salaried employees, the gross salary of such investor, minus any significant expenses personally incurred by such investor in connection with earning the salary, plus any income from any other source including unearned income, is a fair measure of "income" for purposes hereof. For investors who are self-employed, "income" is generally construed to mean total revenues received during the calendar year minus significant expenses incurred in connection with earning such revenues.

Acknowledged and agreed as of the Date of Grant

________________________ <br> Name: [_____]

**STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT**

THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (together with the above grant notice (the "**Grant Notice**"), the "**Agreement**") is made and entered into as of the date set forth on the Grant Notice by and between Netcapital Inc., a Utah corporation (the "**Company**"), and the individual (the "**Optionee**") set forth on the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Pursuant to the Netcapital Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "**Plan**"), the Administrator has determined that it is to the advantage and best interest of the Company to grant to the Optionee an option to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock (the "**Common Stock**") set forth on the Grant Notice, at the exercise price per share of Common Stock set forth on the Grant Notice, and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and this Agreement (the "**Option**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "**Termination**" shall mean the termination of the employment or service of the Optionee with the Company and all Affiliates thereof (including because of the Optionee's employer ceasing to be an affiliate of the Company). For purposes of this Agreement, Termination will not occur when Optionee goes on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an approved leave of absence for six months or less, which does not in fact exceed six months, will not result in Termination for purposes of this Agreement. However, Termination will occur when an approved leave described in this Section B ends, unless Optionee immediately returns to active work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) "**Termination Date**" shall mean the date of the Optionee's Termination of Service.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the Optionee and the Company hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Acceptance of Agreement</u>. Optionee has reviewed all of the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator on questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement, and, solely as they relate to this Option, the applicable provisions (if any) contained in a written employment agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and the Optionee. The Optionee's electronic signature of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by hand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Grant and Terms of Stock Option</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 <u>Grant of Option</u>. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company has granted to the Optionee the right and option to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Grant Notice at a purchase price per share of Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of Common Stock set forth on the Grant Notice. An Option granted pursuant to the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>Vesting and Term of Option</u>. This Section 2.2 is subject to the provisions of the Plan and the other provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2 The "**Term**" of this Option shall begin on the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice and end on the Expiration Date specified in the Grant Notice. No portion of this Option may be exercised after the expiration of the Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.3 In the event of Optionee's Termination for any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.3.2 the portion of this Option that is vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date shall terminate and be cancelled on the earlier of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.4 In the event of Termination due to death or Disability:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.4.1 the portion of this Option that is not vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date shall not continue to vest and shall be immediately cancelled and terminated; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.4.2 the portion of this Option that is vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date shall terminate and be cancelled on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Term and (b) the date that is twelve (12) months after the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.5 In the event of Optionee's Termination for Cause, or if, after the Termination, the Administrator determines that Cause existed before such Termination, this entire Option shall not continue to vest, shall be cancelled and terminated as of the Termination Date, and shall no longer be exercisable as to any shares of Common Stock, whether or not previously vested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Approval does not occur at the next regularly scheduled stockholder meeting of the Company, this Option shall immediately become forfeited on the date of such meeting and shall be null and void *ab initio*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Method of Exercise</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 <u>Method of Exercise</u>. Each election to exercise the Option subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Company at its principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan or in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the right to specify all conditions of the manner of exercise. Upon the Company's determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the shares of Common Stock, the Company may issue certificates in the Optionee's name for such shares of Common Stock. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Optionee for damages relating to any reasonable delays in issuing the certificates to the Optionee, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves which it promptly undertakes to correct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Restrictions on Exercise</u>. This Option shall not become exercisable until the date of the Approval (as defined in the Grant Notice). In addition, no share of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless and until there shall have been full compliance with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 ("**Securities Act**"), as amended (whether by registration or satisfaction of exemption conditions), all applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange or other market system on which the share of Common Stock is then listed and all applicable requirements of any Applicable Laws and of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such issuance. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require the Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrator, to comply with any Applicable Law. In addition, Optionee shall not sell any share of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Option at a time when Applicable Laws, regulations or Company's or underwriter trading policies prohibit such sale. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which shall not exceed 180 days in length, during which this Option shall not be exercisable if the Administrator determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation on exercise could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. Such limitation on exercise shall not alter the vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement other than to limit the periods during which this Option shall be exercisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <u>Method of Payment</u>. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in full at the time of exercise (a) by the delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator, including an amount to cover the withholding taxes (as provided in Section 7.11) with respect to such exercise, or (b) any other method, if any, approved by the Administrator, including (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure, if any, approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise) or (ii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by Applicable Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <u>No Rights as a Shareholder</u>. Until the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Optionee (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 shareholder will exist with respect to the shares of Common Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.

Subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, following the death of Optionee, this Option may, to the extent it is vested and exercisable by Optionee in accordance with its terms on the Termination Date, be exercised by Optionee's executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under this Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution as the case may be. Any heir or legatee of the Optionee shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Dissolution or Liquidation</u>.

In such instance, the Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, declare that this Option will terminate as of a date fixed by the Administrator and give the Optionee the right to exercise this Option prior to such date as to all or any part of the optioned stock, including shares of Common Stock as to which this Option would not otherwise be exercisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>General</u>.

**STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT**

THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (together with the above grant notice (the "**Grant Notice**"), the "**Agreement**") is made and entered into as of the date set forth on the Grant Notice by and between Netcapital Inc., a Utah corporation (the "**Company**"), and the individual (the "**Optionee**") set forth on the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Pursuant to the Netcapital Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "**Plan**"), the Administrator has determined that it is to the advantage and best interest of the Company to grant to the Optionee an option to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock (the "**Common Stock**") set forth on the Grant Notice, at the exercise price per share of Common Stock set forth on the Grant Notice, and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and this Agreement (the "**Option**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "**Termination**" shall mean the termination of the employment or service of the Optionee with the Company and all Affiliates thereof (including because of the Optionee's employer ceasing to be an affiliate of the Company). For purposes of this Agreement, Termination will not occur when Optionee goes on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an approved leave of absence for six months or less, which does not in fact exceed six months, will not result in Termination for purposes of this Agreement. However, Termination will occur when an approved leave described in this Section B ends, unless Optionee immediately returns to active work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) "**Termination Date**" shall mean the date of the Optionee's Termination of Service.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the Optionee and the Company hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Acceptance of Agreement</u>. Optionee has reviewed all of the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator on questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement, and, solely as they relate to this Option, the applicable provisions (if any) contained in a written employment agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and the Optionee. The Optionee's electronic signature of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by hand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Grant and Terms of Stock Option</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 <u>Grant of Option</u>. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company has granted to the Optionee the right and option to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Grant Notice at a purchase price per share of Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of Common Stock set forth on the Grant Notice. An Option granted pursuant to the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2 The "**Term**" of this Option shall begin on the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice and end on the Expiration Date specified in the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.3 In the event of Optionee's Termination for any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Approval does not occur at the next regularly scheduled stockholder meeting of the Company, this Option shall immediately become forfeited on the date of such meeting and shall be null and void *ab initio*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Method of Exercise</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 <u>Method of Exercise</u>. Each election to exercise the Option subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Company at its principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan or in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the right to specify all conditions of the manner of exercise. Upon the Company's determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the shares of Common Stock, the Company may issue certificates in the Optionee's name for such shares of Common Stock. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Optionee for damages relating to any reasonable delays in issuing the certificates to the Optionee, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves which it promptly undertakes to correct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Restrictions on Exercise</u>. This Option shall not become exercisable until the date of the Approval (as defined in the Grant Notice). In addition, no share of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless and until there shall have been full compliance with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 ("**Securities Act**"), as amended (whether by registration or satisfaction of exemption conditions), all applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange or other market system on which the share of Common Stock is then listed and all applicable requirements of any Applicable Laws and of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such issuance. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require the Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrator, to comply with any Applicable Law. In addition, Optionee shall not sell any share of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Option at a time when Applicable Laws, regulations or Company's or underwriter trading policies prohibit such sale. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which shall not exceed 180 days in length, during which this Option shall not be exercisable if the Administrator determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation on exercise could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. Such limitation on exercise shall not alter the vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement other than to limit the periods during which this Option shall be exercisable.

**b. <u>Independent Contractor; No Conflict.</u>** It is understood and agreed, and it is the intention of the parties hereto, that Advisor is an independent contractor, and not the employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Company for any purposes whatsoever. Advisor is skilled in providing the Services to the extent necessary, Advisor shall be solely responsible for any and all taxes related to the receipt of any compensation under this Agreement. Advisor hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that Advisor has the right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the performance of the Services by Advisor will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which Advisor is now or hereinafter becomes obligated.

Although certain information may be generally known in the relevant industry, the fact that Company uses it may not be so known. In such instance, the knowledge that Company uses the information would comprise Proprietary Information. Furthermore, the fact that various fragments of information or data may be generally known in the relevant industry does not mean that the manner in which Company combines them, and the results obtained thereby, are known. In such instance, that would also comprise Proprietary Information.

**b. <u>General Restrictions on Use</u>.** Advisor agrees to hold all Proprietary Information in confidence and not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from Company's premises any Proprietary Information (or remove from the premises any other property of Company), except (i) during the advisory relationship to the extent authorized and necessary to carry out Advisor's responsibilities under this Agreement, and (ii) after termination of the consulting relationship, only as specifically authorized in writing by Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such restrictions shall not apply to: (x) information which Advisor can show was rightfully in Advisor's possession at the time of disclosure by Company; (y) information which Advisor can show was received from a third party who lawfully developed the information independently of Company or obtained such information from Company under conditions which did not require that it be held in confidence; or (z) information which, at the time of disclosure, is generally available to the public.

**c. <u>Ownership of Work Product</u>.** All Work Product shall be considered work(s) made by Advisor for hire for Company and shall belong exclusively to Company and its designees. If by operation of law, any of the Work Product, including all related intellectual property rights, is not owned in its entirety by Company automatically upon creation thereof, then Advisor agrees to assign, and hereby assigns, to Company and its designees the ownership of such Work Product, including all related intellectual property rights. "Work Product" shall mean any writings (including excel, power point, emails, etc.), programming, documentation, data compilations, reports, and any other media, materials, or other objects produced as a result of Advisor's work or delivered by Advisor in the course of performing that work.

**d. <u>Incidents and Further Assurances</u>.** Company may obtain and hold in its own name copyrights, registrations, and other protection that may be available to the Advisor.

Advisor agrees to take sure further actions and execute and deliver such further agreements and other instruments as Company may reasonably request to give effect to this Section 5.

**e. <u>Return of Proprietary Information</u>.** Upon termination of this Agreement, Advisor shall upon request by the Company promptly deliver to Company at Company's sole cost and expense, all drawings, blueprints, manuals, specification documents, documentation, source or object codes, tape discs and any other storage media, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, flowcharts, and all other materials in its possession or under its control relating to the Proprietary Information and/or Services, as well as all other property belonging to Company which is then in Advisor's possession or under its control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Advisor shall retain ownership of all works owned by Advisor prior to commencing work for Company hereunder, subject to Company's nonexclusive, perpetual, paid up right and license to use such works in connection with its use of the Services and any Work Product.

**f. <u>Remedies/Additional Confidentiality Agreements</u>**. Nothing in this Section 5 is intended to limit any remedy of Company under applicable state or federal law. At the request of Company, Advisor shall also execute Company's standard "Confidentiality Agreement" or similarly named agreement as such agreement is currently applied to and entered into by Company's most recent employees.

**g. Trade Secret Protection**. In the event that the Company decides not to pursue patent, copyright or trademark protection for any discovery or creation made, and instead decides to protect the discovery or creation pursuant to the trade secret laws of any jurisdiction, such decision shall not be construed as a waiver of the Company's rights pursuant to this Agreement. Advisor shall also take whatever steps are necessary to sustain the Company's claim to such trade secrets, including but not limited to: (i) maintaining the confidential nature of any such discoveries or creations; and (ii) testifying and providing other support and substantiation for the Company's claims with regard to the discovery or creation.

**5. <u>Non-Compete</u>.** During the Term, the Advisor shall provide the Company with prior written notice if Advisor intends to provide any services, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, to any person, company or entity that competes directly with the Company, which written notice shall include the name of the competitor. During the period that is two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement, the Advisor shall provide the Company with written notice any time that Advisor provides any services, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, to any person, company or entity that competes directly with the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company hereby consents to consultant providing services, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, to the companies that have currently engaged the Advisor.

**6. <u>Investment Representations by Advisor</u>**

The Advisor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities issued to the Advisor as compensation under this Agreement are being offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for transactions not involving a public offering. In connection with such issuance, the Advisor represents and warrants to the Company that:

1. **Accredited Investor**: The Advisor is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

At the time such Advisor was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any stock options, it will be either: (i) an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act or (ii) a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

(ii) The Advisors agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 6.e, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Advisor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Advisor may transfer pledge or secure Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Advisor's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

(iii) Certificates evidencing the Securities, if any, shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 6.e (ii) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such shares or option shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the options), or (iii) if such shares or option shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the options), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).

(iv) The Advisor, severally and not jointly with the other advisors, agrees with the Company that such Advisor will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 6.e is predicated upon the Company's reliance upon this understanding.

**7. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.**

The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended, or replaced in whole or in part only upon the written consent of both parties to this Agreement.

**c. <u>Severability, Enforcement</u>.** If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or inoperative, the validity and effect of the other provisions herein shall not be affected thereby, provided that no such severability shall be effective if it causes a material detriment to any party.

**d. <u>Governing Law and Venue</u>.** This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and each party hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

**e. <u>Injunctive Relief</u>.** The parties agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants in Section 5, the damage or imminent damage to the value and the goodwill of Company's business will be irreparable and extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Accordingly, the parties agree that Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against Advisor in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any such provisions by Advisor, in addition to any other relief (including damages) available to Company under this Agreement or under applicable state or federal law.

**f. <u>Publicity</u>.** The Company shall, with prior written approval by Advisor, have the right to use the name, biography and picture of Advisor on the Company's website, marketing, and advertising materials.

This provision shall not preclude the Advisor from providing truthful testimony or statements as required by law or regulation.

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF,** each party hereto has duly executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date.
