 DAYSTAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 OPTION AGREEMENT 
 (INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION OR NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION) 
 Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Option Agreement, DayStar Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company”) has granted you an option under its Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock indicated in your Grant
Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. 
 The details of your option are as follows: 
 1. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service. 
 2. NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number of
shares of Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments. 
 3. EXERCISE RESTRICTION FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES. In the
event that you are an Employee eligible for overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (i.e., a “Non-Exempt Employee”), except as otherwise provided in Section 5(l) of the Plan,
you may not exercise your option until you have completed at least six (6) months of Continuous Service measured from the Date of Grant specified in your Grant Notice, notwithstanding any other provision of your option. 
 4. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part
of your option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted by your Grant Notice, subject to the following: 
 (a) Bank draft or money order payable to the Company. 
 (b) Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

 (c) Subject to the consent of the Company at the time of exercise, by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or
attestation) of already-owned shares of Common 

  

 1. 

 
Stock that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the
Company’s stock. 
 (d) If the Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, subject to the consent of the Company at the time of
exercise, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not
exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from you to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole
shares to be issued; provided further, however, that shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under your option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (1) shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the
“net exercise,” (2) shares are delivered to you as a result of such exercise, and (3) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. 
 5. WHOLE SHARES. You may exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock. 
 6. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. The exercise of your option also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with
such laws and regulations. 
 7. TERM. You may not exercise your option before the commencement of its term or after
its term expires. The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of the following: 
 (a)
immediately upon the termination of your Continuous Service for Cause; 
 (b) three (3) months after the termination of your
Continuous Service for any reason other than Cause, Disability or death, provided that if during any part of such three (3)-month period you may not exercise your option solely because of the condition set forth in the preceding paragraph relating
to “Securities Law Compliance,” your option shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous
Service; 
 (c) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability; 
  

 2. 

 (d) eighteen (18) months after your death if you die either during your Continuous Service or
within three (3) months after your Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than Cause; 
 (e) the Expiration Date
indicated in your Grant Notice; or 
 (f) the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. 
 If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, note that, to obtain the federal income tax advantages associated with an Incentive Stock Option, the Code
requires that at all times beginning on the date of grant of your option and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of your option’s exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, except in the event of your
death or Disability. The Company has provided for extended exercisability of your option under certain circumstances for your benefit but cannot guarantee that your option will necessarily be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if you continue to
provide services to the Company or an Affiliate as a Consultant or Director after your employment terminates or if you otherwise exercise your option more than three (3) months after the date your employment terminates. 
 8. EXERCISE. 
 (a)
You may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company
may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require. 
 (b) By
exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising
by reason of (1) the exercise of your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon
such exercise. 
 (c) If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, by exercising your option you agree that you will notify the
Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of any of the shares of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option that occurs within two (2) years after the date of your option grant or within one
(1) year after such shares of Common Stock are transferred upon exercise of your option. 
 9. TRANSFERABILITY. 

 (i) Restrictions on Transfer. Your option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and
shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of your options in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and securities laws upon your request.

  

 3. 

 (ii) Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your option may be transferred
pursuant to a domestic relations order; provided, however, that if your option is an Incentive Stock Option, your option shall be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer. 
 (iii) Beneficiary Designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or
otherwise satisfactory to the Company and any broker designated by the Company to effect option exercises, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option. In the absence of such a
designation, the executor or administrator of your estate shall be entitled to exercise your option. 
 10. OPTION
NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to
continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors,
Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate. 
 11.
WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. 
 (a) At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any
time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a “cashless exercise” pursuant to a
program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate,
if any, which arise in connection with the exercise of your option. 
 (b) Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company,
in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number of whole shares of
Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of your option
as a liability for financial accounting purposes). If the date of determination of any tax withholding obligation is deferred to a date later than the date of exercise of your option, share withholding pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be
permitted unless you make a proper and timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code, covering the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise with respect to which such determination is otherwise deferred, to
accelerate the determination of such tax withholding obligation to the date of exercise of your option. Notwithstanding the filing of such election, shares of Common Stock shall be withheld solely from fully vested shares of Common Stock determined
as of the date of exercise of your option that are otherwise issuable to you upon such exercise. Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility. 
  

 4. 

 (c) You may not exercise your option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or
any Affiliate are satisfied. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when desired even though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares of Common Stock or release such
shares of Common Stock from any escrow provided for herein unless such obligations are satisfied. 
 12. TAX
CONSEQUENCES. You hereby agree that the Company does not have a duty to design or administer the Plan or its other compensation programs in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities. You shall not
make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from your option or your other compensation. In particular, you acknowledge that this option is exempt from
Section 409A of the Code only if the exercise price per share specified in the Grant Notice is at least equal to the “fair market value” per share of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant and there is no other impermissible deferral
of compensation associated with the option. 
 13. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last
address you provided to the Company. 
 14. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your option is
subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted
pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

 DAYSTAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS AGREEMENT 
 Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Bonus Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Bonus Agreement (collectively, the “Award”) and in consideration of your past services, DayStar
Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has awarded you a stock bonus under its Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock
subject to the Award as indicated in the Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Restricted Stock Bonus Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. 
 The details of your Award are as follows: 
 1. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest as provided in the Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service. 
 2. NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for
Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the Plan. 
 3. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You
may not be issued any shares under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and
regulations. 
 4. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Shares that are received under
your Award are subject to any right of first refusal that may be described in the Company’s bylaws in effect at such time the Company elects to exercise its right. 
 5. RIGHT OF REACQUISITION. 
 (a) To the extent
provided in the Company’s bylaws, as amended from time to time, the Company shall have the right to reacquire all or any part of the shares received pursuant to your Award (a “Reacquisition Right”). 
 (b) To the extent a Reacquisition Right is not provided in the Company’s bylaws, as amended from time to time, the Company shall have a
Reacquisition Right as to the shares you received pursuant to your Award that have not as yet vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule on the Grant Notice (“Unvested Shares”) on the following terms and conditions:

 (i) The Company, shall simultaneously with termination of your Continuous Service automatically reacquire for no consideration all
of the Unvested Shares, unless the Company agrees to waive its Reacquisition Right as to some or all of the Unvested Shares. Any such waiver shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to you or your representative (with a copy to the Escrow
Holder as defined below) within ninety (90) days after the termination of your Continuous Service, and the Escrow Holder may then release to you the number of Unvested Shares not being reacquired by the Company. If the Company does not waive
its Reacquisition Right as to all of the Unvested Shares, then upon such termination of your Continuous Service, the Escrow Holder shall transfer to the Company the number of shares the Company is reacquiring. 
  

 2. 

 (ii) The shares issued under your Award shall be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the
Joint Escrow Instructions attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment III. You agree to execute two (2) Assignment Separate From Certificate forms (with date and number of shares blank) substantially in the form attached to the Grant Notice as
Attachment IV and deliver the same, along with the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares, for use by the escrow agent pursuant to the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions. 
 (iii) Subject to the provisions of your Award, you shall, during the term of your Award, exercise all rights and privileges of a shareholder of
the Company with respect to the shares deposited in escrow. You shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares for purposes of receiving any dividends which may be paid with respect to such shares and for purposes of exercising any voting rights
relating to such shares, even if some or all of such shares have not yet vested and been released from the Company’s Reacquisition Right. 
 (iv) If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of your Award, then in
such event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which you is entitled by reason of your ownership of the shares acquired under your Award shall be immediately subject to the Reacquisition Right with the same force and effect as
the shares subject to this Reacquisition Right immediately before such event. 
 (v) In the event of a Corporate Transaction as
defined in the Plan, the Reacquisition Right may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or such successor’s parent company), if any, in connection with such transaction. To the extent the Reacquisition Right remains in
effect following such transaction, it shall apply to the new capital stock, cash or other property received in exchange for the Common Stock in consummation of the transaction, but only to the extent the Common Stock was at the time covered by such
right. 
 (vi) In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you shall not sell, assign,
hypothecate, donate, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Common Stock while such shares of Common Stock are subject to the Reacquisition Right or continue to be held in the Joint Escrow; provided, however, that an interest
in such shares may be transferred pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. After any Common Stock has been released from the Joint Escrow, you shall not sell,
assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Common Stock except in compliance with the provisions herein and applicable securities laws. 
  

 3. 

 6. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares issued under your Award shall be
endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company. 
 7. AWARD NOT A
SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company
or an Affiliate, or on the part of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective shareholders, boards of directors, Officers or Employees to
continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate. 
 8.
WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. 
 (a) At the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as
requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding
obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”). The Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation
relating to your Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; (ii) causing you to tender a cash payment; (iii) permitting you to
enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be
delivered under the Award to satisfy the Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Taxes directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates or (iv) withholding
shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number of such shares of
Common Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll
taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income. 
 (b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any
Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for herein. 
 9. TAX CONSEQUENCES. The acquisition and vesting of the shares may have adverse tax consequences to you that may avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Section 83(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). Such election must be filed within thirty (30) days after the date of your Award. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO
FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY TO MAKE THE FILING ON YOUR BEHALF. 
  

 4. 

 10. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to
the Company. 
 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 (a) The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. Your rights and obligations under your Award may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company. 
 (b) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of your Award. 
 (c) You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to
executing and accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award. 
 12. GOVERNING PLAN
DOCUMENT. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time
to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your Award and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 
 13. APPLICATION OF SECTION 409A. This Award is intended to be exempt from the application of
Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(6). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that the Award fails to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation
1.409A-1(b)(6) or the short-term deferral rule and is otherwise deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and if you are a “Specified Employee” (within the meaning set forth Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) as of the
date of your separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), then the vesting and/or issuance of any shares that would otherwise be made upon the date of your separation from service or within the first
six (6) months thereafter will not be made on the originally scheduled date(s) and will instead occur in a lump sum on the date that is six (6) months and one day after the date of the separation from service, with the balance of the
shares becoming vested or issued thereafter in accordance with the original vesting and issuance schedule set forth above, but if and only if such delay is necessary to avoid the imposition of taxation on you in respect of the shares under
Section 409A of the Code. Each installment of shares that vests is intended to constitute a “separate payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and are hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. In case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, you shall not
be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have

parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver the Grant Notice or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder. 
 10. You shall not be liable for the outlawing of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to these Joint Escrow Instructions or any documents deposited with you.

legal counsel in connection with your obligations hereunder. 
 12. Your responsibilities as Escrow Agent hereunder shall terminate if
you shall cease to be [Secretary] of the Company or if you shall resign by written notice to each party. In the event of any such termination, the Company may appoint any officer or assistant officer of the Company as successor Escrow Agent and
Recipient hereby confirms the appointment of such successor or successors as his attorney-in-fact and agent to the full extent of your appointment. 
 13. If you reasonably require other or further instruments in connection with these Joint Escrow Instructions or obligations in respect hereto, the necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such instruments. 
  

 2. 

 14. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the delivery and/or
ownership or right of possession of the securities, you may (but are not obligated to) retain in your possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said securities until such dispute shall have been settled either by mutual written

any such proceedings. 
 15. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively
