declared or paid, in cash or property, upon any of the Pledged Securities, and (z) any payments received, in cash or property, with respect to any Pledged Note or any other Collateral. Each Grantor which is an issuer of a Pledged Security

Rights in Pledged Securities and other Investment Property. Each Grantor will permit Collateral Agent or its nominee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, to exercise all voting and

executed by such Grantor, in substantially the form of Schedule V annexed hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”), in respect of such additional Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to attach each
Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Commercial Tort Claims listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to Collateral Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Collateral; provided that the failure of such Grantor to
execute a Pledge Amendment with respect to any Commercial Tort Claims pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the security interest of Collateral Agent therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent
hereunder with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.6.    Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof,
additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a counterpart agreement. Upon delivery of any such counterpart agreement to Collateral Agent, notice of which is
hereby waived by each Grantor, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder

 Section 9.17.    Collateral Agent Limited Liability and Limited Duty. 

(a)    The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Secured Parties to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s liens or security interests have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained
or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or any Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the lien and security interest of this Agreement has been properly and completely
listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue
exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Note Document or the Intercreditor Agreement other than pursuant to the instructions given by the Purchasers in accordance with the
Indenture, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as to any of the foregoing. 

(b)    No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Purchasers unless the Collateral Agent
shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. In the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to
foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under
the Mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous
substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Secured Parties in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability.
The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Grantors or the Secured Parties to be sufficient. 

(c)    The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection
with any Note Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed
to impose duties to act. 
 (d)    In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any special,
indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage or any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits) irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form
of action. 

  
 25 

 (e)    The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any
failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Grantors under any Note Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
contained in any Note Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, any Note Document; the execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness or enforceability of any Note Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability,
sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Secured Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal
status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its obligations under any Note Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Secured Party or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any
Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Agreement, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek
instructions from the Purchasers in accordance with the Indenture with respect to the administration of the Note Documents. 
 ARTICLE X.

 LIEN ABSOLUTE; WAIVER OF SURETYSHIP DEFENSES 

Section 10.1.    Lien Absolute, Waivers. 

10.1.1    All rights of Collateral Agent hereunder, and all obligations of Grantors hereunder, shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of, shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and each Grantor hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future)
with respect to, in each case, each of the following (whether or not such Grantor has knowledge thereof): 
  

	 	(i)	the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Note Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured
Party; 

  

	 	(ii)	any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Note Documents;

  

	 	(iii)	 any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in
enforcement, or the stay 

  
 26 

	 	
or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Note Documents,
at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Secured Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations; 

 

	 	(iv)	any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Issuer or any other Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries and any corresponding restructuring of the Secured Obligations;

  

	 	(v)	any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Secured Obligations or any subordination of the
Secured Obligations to any other obligations; 

  

	 	(vi)	the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or
purporting to secure, the Secured Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral; 

  

	 	(vii)	any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Secured Obligations)
at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and
even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each
Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor under applicable law; and 

  

	 	(viii)	any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect of the Secured Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Issuer or any other Grantor for the Secured Obligations, or of such Grantor under the guarantee contained in the Indenture or of any security interest granted by any Grantor, whether in a bankruptcy
proceeding or in any other instance. 

  
 27 

 10.1.2    Each Grantor waives diligence, presentment,
protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon the Issuer or any of the other Grantors with respect to the Secured Obligations. Except for notices provided for herein, each Grantor
hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Issuer, any other
Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Collateral Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies
or to collect any payments from Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or
any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of
Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

SONO-TEK CORPORATION

2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

 

1. Grant of Option. Sono-Tek Corporation,
a New York corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the Grantee (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice
of Stock Option Award (the “Notice”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the Total Number of Shares of
Common Stock subject to the Option (the “Shares”) set forth in the Notice, at the Exercise Price per Share set forth
in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the terms and provisions of the Notice, this Stock Option Award Agreement
(the “Option Agreement”) and the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”),
which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same
defined meanings in this Option Agreement.

 

If designated in the Notice as an Incentive Stock Option,
the Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. However, notwithstanding
such designation, the Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation
of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the
aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for
the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company).
For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted,
and the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such options shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant option.

 

2. Exercise of Option.

 

(a) Right to Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable
during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and
this Option Agreement. The Option shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan relating to the exercisability
or termination of the Option in the event of a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. The Grantee shall be subject to reasonable
limitations on the number of requested exercises during any monthly or weekly period as determined by the Administrator. In no
event shall the Company issue fractional Shares.

 

(b) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable
by delivery of an exercise notice (a form of which is attached as Exhibit A) or by such other procedure as specified from
time to time by the Administrator which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect
of which the Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by the Administrator. The exercise notice
shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by such other method (including electronic transmission) as determined from
time to time by the Administrator to the Company accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price and all applicable income and employment
taxes required to be withheld. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such notice accompanied
by the Exercise Price and all applicable withholding taxes, which, to the extent selected, shall be deemed to be satisfied by use
of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the Exercise Price provided in Section 3(e) below to the extent such
procedure is available to the Grantee at the time of exercise and such an exercise would not violate any Applicable Law.

 

     

     

    

 

(c) Taxes. No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee
or other person pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the
Administrator for the satisfaction of applicable income tax and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation,
such other tax obligations of the Grantee incident to the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company or the Grantee’s
employer may offset or withhold (from any amount owed by the Company or the Grantee’s employer to the Grantee) or collect
from the Grantee or other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding obligations. Furthermore, in the event of
any determination that the Company has failed to withhold a sum sufficient to pay all withholding taxes due in connection with
the Option, the Grantee agrees to pay the Company the amount of such deficiency in cash within five (5) days after receiving
a written demand from the Company to do so, whether or not the Grantee is an employee of the Company at that time.

 

(d) Section 16(b). Notwithstanding any provision
of this Option Agreement to the contrary, other than termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for Cause, if a sale
within the applicable time periods set forth in Sections 5, 7, 8 or 9 herein of Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option
would subject the Grantee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest
to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such Shares by the Grantee would no longer be subject
to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service,
or (iii) the date on which the Option expires.

 

3. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise
Price shall be made by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee; provided, however, that
such exercise method does not then violate any Applicable Law or any restriction then imposed on the Company, provided further,
that such exercise method is not then determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion to be inappropriate (provided that
in no case shall the exercise method provided in Sections 3(a) or 3(b) be deemed inappropriate) and, provided further, that the
portion of the Exercise Price equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted
by the New York Business Corporation Law:

		(a)	cash;

		(b)	check;

		(c)	voluntary payroll deduction (after tax);

		(d)	surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may
require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares
as to which the Option is being exercised;

		(e)	payment through a “net exercise” such that, without the payment of any funds, the Grantee may exercise the Option
and receive the net number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, multiplied
by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined by the Administrator)
less the Exercise Price per Share, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value per Share (the number of net Shares to
be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares); or

 

4. Restrictions on Exercise. The Option
may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any
Applicable Laws. If the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 5, 7, 8 and 9 of this
Option Agreement is prevented by the provisions of this Section 4, the Option shall remain exercisable until one (1) month
after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Expiration
Date set forth in the Notice.

 

     

     

    

 

5. Termination or Change of Continuous Service.
In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates, other than for Cause, the Grantee may, but only during the sixty
day Post-Termination Exercise Period, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of such termination (the “Termination
Date”). The Post-Termination Exercise Period shall commence on the Termination Date. In the event of termination of the Grantee’s
Continuous Service for Cause, the Grantee’s right to exercise the Option shall, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator,
terminate concurrently with the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service (also the “Termination Date”).
In no event, however, shall the Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice. In the event of the
Grantee’s change in status from Employee, Director or Consultant to any other status of Employee, Director or Consultant,
the Option shall remain in effect and the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the
Notice; provided, however, that with respect to any Incentive Stock Option that shall remain in effect after a change in status
from Employee to Director or Consultant, such Incentive Stock Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and
shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following such change in
status. Except as provided in Sections 7, 8 and 9 below, to the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date,
or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall
terminate.

 

6. Leave of Absence by Grantee. During any
authorized leave of absence, the vesting of the Option as provided in the Notice shall be suspended after the leave of absence
exceeds a period of thirty days. Vesting of the Option shall resume upon the Grantee’s termination of the leave of absence
and return to service to the Company or a Related Entity. The Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice with respect to the Option
shall be extended by the length of the suspension.

 

7. Disability of Grantee. In the event the
Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee may, but only within twelve (12) months
commencing on the Termination Date (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), exercise the portion of the Option that was
vested on the Termination Date; provided, however, that if such Disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined
in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Incentive Stock Option shall cease to be
treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and
one (1) day following the Termination Date. To the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee
does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. Section 22(e)(3)
of the Code provides that an individual is permanently and totally disabled if he or she is unable to engage in any substantial
gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death
or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.

 

8. Death of Grantee. In the event of the termination
of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death, or in the event of the Grantee’s death during
the Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the twelve (12) month period following the Grantee’s termination of Continuous
Service as a result of his or her Disability, the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 10
may exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of termination within twelve (12) months commencing on
the date of death (but in no event later than the Expiration Date). To the extent that the Option was unvested on the date of death,
or if the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

     

     

    

 

9. Retirement of Grantee. Unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator at the time of grant, if Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates by reason of Normal or Early
Retirement (as such terms are defined below), the Option may thereafter be exercised to the extent it was exercisable at the time
of such Retirement (or on such accelerated basis as the Administrator shall determine at or after grant), but may not be exercised
after (i) three (3) months after the date of such termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service or (ii) the
Expiration Date set forth in the Notice, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that, if the Grantee dies within
such three (3) month period, the unexercised portion of the Option held by the Grantee shall thereafter be exercisable, to
the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death, for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of such death
or for the stated term of the Option, whichever period is shorter. For purposes of this Section 9, “Normal Retirement”
shall mean retirement from Continuous Service on or after the normal retirement date specified in the applicable Company or Related
Entity pension plan or if no such pension plan, age 65, and “Early Retirement” shall mean retirement from Continuous
Service pursuant to the early retirement provisions of the applicable Company or Related Entity pension plan or if no such pension
plan, attainment of age 55.

 

10. Transferability of Option. The Option,
if an Incentive Stock Option, may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee. The Option, if a Non-Qualified Stock Option, may not
be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided, however, that a Non-Qualified
Stock Option may be transferred during the lifetime of the Grantee to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Incentive Stock Option
or Non-Qualified Stock Option in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.
Following the death of the Grantee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 8, may be exercised (a) by the person
or persons designated under the deceased Grantee’s beneficiary designation or (b) in the absence of an effectively designated
beneficiary, by the Grantee’s legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Grantee’s
will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and transferees of the Grantee.

 

11. Term of Option. The Option must be exercised
no later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice or such earlier date as otherwise provided herein. After the Expiration
Date or such earlier date, the Option shall be of no further force or effect and may not be exercised.

 

12. Tax Consequences. The Grantee may incur
tax liability as a result of the Grantee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. THE GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER
BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

 

13. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice,
the Plan and this 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 Grantee with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and
the Grantee. Nothing in the Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to confer
any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement are to be construed
in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law rule that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights
and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice, the Plan or this Option Agreement be determined to be illegal or
unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless
remain effective and shall remain enforceable.

 

     

     

    

 

14. Construction. The captions used in the
Notice and this Option Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Option for construction or
interpretation. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include
the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

 

15. Administration and Interpretation. Any
question or dispute regarding the administration or interpretation of the Notice, the Plan or this Option Agreement shall be submitted
by the Grantee or by the Company to the Administrator. The resolution of such question or dispute by the Administrator shall be
final and binding on all persons.

 

16. Venue. The Company, the Grantee, and
the Grantee’s assignees pursuant to Section 10 (the “parties”) agree that any suit, action, or proceeding
arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan or this Option Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of New York — Albany (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding,
in a New York state court in the County of Ulster) and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties
irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for any
such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Section 16 shall for any reason
be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum
extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

 

17. Notices. Any notice required or permitted
hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by
an internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the
parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these
instruments, or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

 

18. Notification Regarding Incentive Stock Options.
In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Grantee also agrees, as partial consideration for the designation of the Option as
an Incentive Stock Option, to notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days of any disposition of any shares acquired
by exercise of the Option if such disposition occurs within two (2) years from the Date of Award or within one (1) year
from the date the Shares were transferred to the Grantee.
