Stock Option Agreement dated as of October 6 ,2003

 Exhibit 4.8 
  

Stock Option Agreement 
 CONFIDENTIAL 
  
 This Stock Option Agreement (the
“Agreement”) made effective as of the 6th day of October, 2003, by and between Syntroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Syntroleum”) and Wayne Berman (“Grantee”), evidences the grant by Syntroleum of an option
(the “Option”) to Grantee to purchase shares of Syntroleum common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and Grantee’s acceptance of the Option in accordance with the provisions of the Syntroleum 1993 Stock
Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Syntroleum and Grantee agree as follows. 
  
 1.    Grant of Option and Exercise Price.    Syntroleum grants to Grantee the Option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share,
which is not less than the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of Syntroleum Common Stock on the date the Option was granted, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and the letter agreement dated October 6, 2003
between Syntroleum and Grantee (the “Letter Agreement”), the provisions of which are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. 
  
 2.    Vesting.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement or in the Plan, the
Option shall vest as follows: (a) the right to exercise the Option and purchase 20,000 shares shall vest on May 1, 2004, (b) the right to exercise the Option and purchase 20,000 shares shall vest on May 1, 2005, (c) the right to exercise the Option
and purchase 10,000 shares shall vest on execution of the GTL plant funding agreement with the Department of Defense as described in Scope Item 6 of the Letter Agreement, and (d) the right to exercise the Option and purchase 50,000 shares shall vest
on the financial close of the sale of the interest in Syntroleum’s Defense Systems business unit as described in Scope Item 7 of the Letter Agreement. 
  
 3.    Exercise Period.    The Option may be exercised from time to time with respect to all or any number
of the then vested, unexercised shares on any regular business day of Syntroleum at its then executive offices, until October 6, 2008. 
  
 4.    Exercise. 
  
 4.01    During the period that the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised in full or in part by Grantee or, in the event of
Grantee’s death, by the person or persons to whom the Option was transferred by will or the laws of decent and distribution, by delivering or mailing written notice of the exercise to the Secretary of Syntroleum. The written notice shall be
signed by each person entitled to exercise the Option and shall specify the address and Social Security number of each such person. If any person other than Grantee purports to be entitled to exercise all or any portion of the Option, the written
notice shall be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to Syntroleum, of that entitlement. 
  
 4.02    Subject to the provisions of Section 4.04 and 4.05, the written notice shall be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the shares as to which the Option is
exercised either (i) in cash, (ii) in shares of Common Stock evidenced by certificates either endorsed or with stock powers attached transferring ownership to Syntroleum, with the aggregate Fair Market Value (as 
  

 1 of 8 

 Syntroleum—Stock Option Agreement 

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  
 defined in the Plan) equal to said exercise price on the date the written notice is received by the Secretary, or (iii) in any combination of cash and such shares.

  
 4.03    Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 4.02, shares acquired through the exercise of an ISO granted under the Plan may be used as payment at exercise under this Agreement only if such shares have been held for at least 12 months following such acquisition. 
  
 4.04    In lieu of payment of the exercise price by way
of delivery of certificate(s) evidencing shares of Common Stock, Grantee may furnish a notarized statement reciting the number of shares being purchased under the Option and the number of Syntroleum shares owned by Grantee which may be freely
delivered as payment of all or a portion of the exercise price, all pursuant to rules adopted by and subject to the consent of the Committee. Subject to the consent of the Committee, Grantee will be issued a certificate for new shares of Common
Stock representing the number of shares as to which the Option is exercised, less the number of shares described in the notarized statement as constituting payment under the Option. 
  
 4.05    In the event Grantee pays the Option exercise price by delivery of a notarized statement of
ownership or by surrendering his right to exercise a portion of the Option as described in Sections 4.04 and 4.05, the number of shares remaining subject to the Option shall be reduced not only by the number of new shares issued upon
exercise of the Option but also by the number of previously owned shares listed on the notarized statement of ownership and deemed to be surrendered as payment of the exercise price or, as applicable, by the number of shares in connection with which
Grantee has surrendered his right to exercise the Option. 
  
 4.06    The written notice of exercise will be effective and the Option shall be deemed exercised to the extent specified in the notice on the date that the written notice (together with required payment of the exercise
price) is received by the Secretary of Syntroleum at its executive offices during regular business hours. 
  
 5.    Transfer of Shares; Tax Withholding.    As soon as practicable after receipt of an effective written
notice of exercise and full payment of the exercise price as provided in Section 4 above, the Secretary of Syntroleum shall cause ownership of the appropriate number of shares of Syntroleum Common Stock to be issued to the person or persons
exercising the Option by having a certificate or certificates for such number of shares registered in the name of such person or persons and shall have each certificate delivered to the appropriate person. Each such certificate shall bear a legend
describing, to the extent applicable, the restrictions imposed by applicable state and federal securities laws, as described in Section 7.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Syntroleum requires reimbursement of any tax required by law to be
withheld with respect to shares of Syntroleum Common Stock, the Secretary shall not transfer ownership of shares until the required payment is made.

 Syntroleum—Stock Option Agreement 

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  
 6.    Securities Laws; Restrictions on Transfer of Shares; Registration Rights. 
  
 6.01    Grantee agrees that the Option and the related
shares of Common Stock (each of the Option and the shares being referred to herein as a “Security” and together, “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that Grantee will not purchase, offer, sell or otherwise dispose
of any of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). In order to exercise the Option, Grantee must be able to confirm and shall confirm in writing,
by executing a certificate to be supplied by Syntroleum, all of the representations and other covenants contained in this Agreement, including that the Securities so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution
or resale. The shares of Common Stock (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with, in addition to any other appropriate or required legend, a legend in substantially the following form: 
  
 “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR GRANTEE, REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO SYNTROLEUM, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND ANY PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT APPLICABLE OR (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE
PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY GRANTEE OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF SYNTROLEUM AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF SYNTROLEUM.”

  
 6.02    In addition, Grantee specifically
represents to Syntroleum both at the time of the grant of the Options and at those future times as specified herein: 
  
 (a)    Grantee has experience in analyzing and investing in companies like Syntroleum and is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in Syntroleum and has the capacity to protect his own interests. Grantee is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Act. Grantee is aware of Syntroleum’s
business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired information about Syntroleum sufficient to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Grantee is acquiring the Securities for his own account for investment
purposes only not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Act. Grantee acknowledges Syntroleum’s obligation to file a registration statement
with respect to the 
  

 3 of 8 

 Syntroleum—Stock Option Agreement 

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  
 shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among Syntroleum and Grantee (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”), the effectiveness of which registration statement may be required for the resale of the shares. Grantee has not offered or sold any portion of the Securities to be acquired by Grantee and has no present intention of reselling or
otherwise disposing of any portion of such Securities either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance, and in particular Grantee has
no current intention to resell the shares under such registration statement nor would it have such intention if such registration statement were effective as of the date of purchase. Grantee understands that investment in the Securities is subject
to a high degree of risk. Grantee can bear the economic risk of his investment, including the full loss of his investment, and by reason of his business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of his professional advisors has
the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of his investment and protect his own interest in connection with the purchase of the Securities. 
  
 (b)    Grantee understands that the Securities have not been and except as provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement with respect to the shares will not be registered under the Act or any applicable state securities law in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
Grantee’s investment intent and the accuracy of Grantee’s representations as expressed herein and Grantee will furnish Syntroleum with such additional information as is reasonably requested by Syntroleum in connection with such exemption.

  
 (c)    Grantee further
understands that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration are otherwise
available. Moreover, Grantee understands that Syntroleum is under no obligation to register the Securities except as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the shares. 
  
 (d)    Grantee is aware of the provisions
of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an Affiliate of such issuer), in a nonpublic offering
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other things: The availability of certain public information about Syntroleum, the resale occurring not less than one year after the party has purchased and paid for
the Securities to be sold; the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”)) and the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein. 
  
 (e)    Grantee further understands that at the time he wishes to sell the Securities, it is possible that there will
be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, Syntroleum may not be satisfying the current 
  

 4 of 8 

 Syntroleum—Stock Option Agreement 

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  
 public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, Grantee may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the
one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied. 
  
 (f)    Grantee further understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act or compliance with registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding
the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such actions do so at their own risk.

  
 (g)    To Grantee’s
knowledge, Syntroleum has made available copies of Syntroleum’s reports filed under the Exchange Act since the beginning of Syntroleum’s current fiscal year. Grantee has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions relating to and
otherwise discuss Syntroleum’s business, management and financial affairs with Syntroleum’s management, customers and other parties, and Grantee has received satisfactory responses to Grantee’s inquiries. Grantee has relied solely on
his own independent investigation before deciding to enter into the purchase of the Options contemplated hereby. Unless Grantee has otherwise notified Syntroleum in writing, Grantee is not, and has not been within the 90 days prior to the closing
date of the purchase of the Securities, a broker or dealer of securities. Unless Grantee has otherwise notified Syntroleum in writing, Grantee is not an employee, officer or director of Syntroleum nor prior to the consummation of the actions
contemplated hereby, is Grantee the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Common Stock of Syntroleum. 
  
 6.03    With respect to any offer, contemplated sale or other disposition of any Securities that is not registered under the Act,
Grantee agrees to give written notice to Syntroleum prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of Grantee’s counsel, if reasonably requested by Syntroleum, to the effect that such offer, sale or other
disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Securities and indicating whether or not under the Act, certificates for the Securities in
question to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Such opinion must be satisfactory to Syntroleum in its reasonable judgment and
shall state that it may be relied upon by counsel to Syntroleum, and any stock exchange or transfer agent. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and satisfactory opinion, if so requested, Syntroleum shall notify Grantee that Grantee may sell
or otherwise dispose of such Securities all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to Syntroleum. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 6.03 that the opinion of counsel for Grantee is not satisfactory to Syntroleum,
Syntroleum shall so notify Grantee promptly after such determination has been made and shall specify in detail the legal analysis supporting any such conclusion. Each certificate representing the Securities thus transferred (except a transfer
registered under the Act or a transfer of shares pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on 
  

 5 of 8 

 Syntroleum—Stock Option Agreement 

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  
 transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for Grantee, such legend is not required in order to ensure
compliance with such laws. Syntroleum may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. 
  
 6.04    Prior to any transfer of the Securities (except a transfer registered under the Act or a transfer of shares pursuant to Rule
144), the proposed transferee shall agree in writing with Syntroleum to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (whether or not the Options have been exercised or otherwise outstanding) as if an original signatory hereto and the proposed transferee
must be able to and must make representations as set forth in this Section 6. 
  
 6.05    As used in this Section 6, “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any other person controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
such person (for the purposes of this definition “control,” when used with respect to any specified person, shall mean the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” shall have meanings correlative to the foregoing). 
  

7.    Miscellaneous. 
  
 7.01    The rights under this Agreement may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The rights
under this Agreement may be exercised during the lifetime of Grantee only by Grantee (or by his guardian or legal representative). The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors, and assigns of
Grantee. 
  
 7.02    Authorized leaves of
absence from Syntroleum shall not constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, an authorized leave of absence shall be an absence while Grantee is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona
fide leave of absence so long as Grantee’s right to employment with Syntroleum is guaranteed by statute, contract, or company policy. 
  
 7.03    The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Syntroleum’s Common Stock upon such exercise of the Option
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation or stock exchange requirement. 
  
 7.04    Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the actual
issuance of the shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares or any part
thereof are issued pursuant to exercise of all or any part of the Option. 
  
 7.05    Grantee agrees not to disclose to any person, directly or indirectly, the terms of this Agreement or any other matters relating to the Option or the shares, including the number of shares
subject to the Option or purchased hereunder, without the prior consent of Syntroleum.

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  
 7.06    The existence of the Option granted in this Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or the power of Syntroleum or its
stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in Syntroleum’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of Syntroleum, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of Syntroleum or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
preceding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 
  
 7.07    Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated
by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided, however, that unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by Grantee to Syntroleum shall be mailed or delivered to Syntroleum at the
offices of its Secretary at 4322 South 49th West Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74107, and all notice or communications by Syntroleum to Grantee may be given to Grantee personally or may be mailed to him.

 Exhibit 4.9 
  

OPTION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of October 15, 2003, is made and entered into by and among Syntroleum Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and Mr. Ziad Ghandour (the “Holder”), principal of TI Capital Management (the “Consultant”). This Agreement is being executed in connection with the letter agreement dated October 3, 2003
between the Company and the Consultant, as amended (the “Letter Agreement”). 
  
 The Company agrees to grant to the Holder options, as hereinafter described (the “Options”), to purchase up to 600,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the “Common Stock”). 
  
 In consideration of the
foregoing and for the purpose of defining the terms and provisions of the Options and the respective rights and obligations thereunder, the Company and the Holder, for value received, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 Section 1.    Transferability and Form of Options.

  
 1.1    Registration. The Options
shall be numbered and shall be registered on the books of the Company when issued. 
  
 1.2    Limitations on Transfer. The Options and the Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement. The Holder will cause
any proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee or pledgee of the Options or the Shares, except for transferees in dispositions of Shares that are pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), or dispositions of Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement. The Options may be divided or combined, upon
request to the Company by the Holder, into a certificate or certificates representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Holder” shall include any transferee or
transferees of the Shares that are required to be bound by the terms hereof, and the term “Options” shall include any and all options outstanding pursuant to this Agreement, including those evidenced by a certificate or certificates issued
upon division, exchange or substitution pursuant to this Agreement. The Holder by his receipt of an Option certificate, agrees to be bound by and comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Holder represents and agrees that the Options have been
acquired only for investment, for the Holder’s own account, and without any present intention to sell, or with a view to distribution of, the Options. 
  
 1.3    Form of Options. The text of the Options and of the form of election to purchase Shares shall be substantially as set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the 

  

 1 

 
Options is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, all as hereinafter provided. The Options shall be executed on behalf of the Company
by its Chief Executive Officer, President or by a Vice President, attested to by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. An Option bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individual shall have ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such Option or did not hold such office on the date of this Agreement. 
  
 The Options shall be dated as of the date of signature thereof by the Company either upon initial issuance or upon division,
exchange or substitution. 
  
 1.4    Legend
on Options. Each Option certificate shall bear the following legend: 
  

	 	(a)	“THE OPTIONS EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, (II) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND ANY
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT APPLICABLE OR (III) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. COPIES OF THE OPTION AGREEMENT AND THE LETTER AGREEMENT COVERING THE GRANT OF THESE OPTIONS AND VARIOUS
REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PROVISIONS RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER, MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF
THE COMPANY.”; and 

  

	 	(b)	any legend required by applicable state securities law. 

  
 Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legends (except, in the case of the Shares, a new
certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Act or upon completion of a sale under Rule 144 under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend or
similar legend unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to such restrictions. The Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to
any registrar or transfer agent of the Options and the Common Stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Agreement. 
  

 2 

 Section 2.    Exchange of Option Certificate. Any Option certificate may be
exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Holder to purchase a like aggregate number of Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitled the Holder to purchase. If the Holder desires to exchange an Option
certificate, he shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, the certificate evidencing the Options to be so exchanged. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled
thereto a new Option certificate as so requested. 
  
 Section 3.
Vesting of Options; Exercise of Options. 
  
 (a) Subject to
the terms of this Agreement, the Options shall vest in accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement (each such date, a “Vesting Date”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Holder shall have the right, at any time and from time
to time on a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the period commencing on the relevant Vesting Date, and ending at 5:00 p.m., Tulsa, Oklahoma time, on the second anniversary of the relevant Vesting Date
(each such date, a “Termination Date”), to exercise an Option and to purchase from the Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares to which the Holder may at the time be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Agreement,
upon surrender to the Company, at its principal office, of the certificate evidencing the Options to be exercised, together with the purchase form on the reverse thereof duly completed and signed, and upon payment to the Company of the Option Price
(as defined in and determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 and Sections 7 and 8 hereof), for the number of Shares in respect of which such Options are then exercised, but in no event for less than 100 Shares (unless less than
an aggregate of 100 Shares are then purchasable under all outstanding Options held by the Holder). 
  
 (b) Payment by the Holder of the aggregate Option Price due from him shall be made in cash or by immediately available funds, check or any combination
thereof. 
  
 (c) Upon such surrender of the Options and payment of
such Option Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in the name of the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of
his Option, together with cash, as provided in Section 9 hereof, in respect of any fractional Shares otherwise issuable upon such surrender. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have
become a holder of record of such securities as of the date of surrender of the Options and payment of the Option Price, as aforesaid, notwithstanding that the certificate or certificates representing such securities shall not actually have been
delivered or that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed. The Options shall be exercisable after the relevant Vesting Date, at the election of the Holder, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that a
certificate evidencing the Options is exercised in respect of less than all of the Shares specified therein at any time prior to the Termination Date, a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the Options held by the Holder will be
issued by the Company. 
  

 3 

 Section 4.    Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp
taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of the Options or the Shares; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any secondary transfer of the Options or the Shares. 

 
 Section 5.    Mutilated or Missing Options. In
case the certificate or certificates evidencing the Options shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder, issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated
certificate or certificates, or in lieu of and substitution for the certificate or certificates lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Option certificate or certificates of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt
of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Option and a bond of indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory in form and amount at the applicant’s cost. Applicants for such substitute Options certificate
shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe. 
  
 Section 6.    Reservation of Shares. There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved so long as the
Options remain outstanding, out of its authorized Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be subject to purchase under the Options. On or before taking any action that would cause an adjustment pursuant to the terms of the
Options resulting in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion or exercise above the number thereof previously authorized, reserved and available therefor, the Company shall take all such action so required
for compliance with this Section. 
  
 Section
7.    Option Price. The price per Share at which Shares shall be purchasable upon the exercise of the Options (the “Option Price”) shall initially be $4.50 per share, or actual price on date of purchase,
whichever is lower, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof. 
  
 Section 8.    Adjustment of Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Options and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening
of certain events, as follows: 
  
 8.1    Adjustments. The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Options and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows: 
  
 (a) In case the Company after October 15, 2003 shall (1) make or pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common
Stock on its Common Stock, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (3) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable
upon exercise of the Options immediately prior to such action shall be 
  

 4 

 adjusted so that the Holder upon exercise of the Options shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock which he would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately following such action had the Options been exercised immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective on the day
immediately after the record date, except as provided in subsection (f) below, in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective on the day immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. Whenever
the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of an Option is adjusted as provided in this paragraph (a), the Option Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Option Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Options immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. 
  
 (b) In case the Company after the date hereof shall distribute any rights,
warrants or options to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution, to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at a price per
share less than the Relevant Current Market Price Per Share (as defined below), the Option Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the
sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for the distribution to which this subsection (b) is being applied and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate price of the total number of shares of
Common Stock offered pursuant to the distribution to which this subsection (b) is being applied would purchase at the Relevant Current Market Price Per Share and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the record date for the distribution to which this subsection (b) is being applied and (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to the distribution to which this subsection (b) is being applied. For
purposes of this subsection (b), the “Relevant Current Market Price Per Share” means the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (d) below) on the record date for the distribution to
which this subsection (b) applies, minus, for any distribution to which subsection (c) applies and for which (x) the record date shall occur on or before the record date for the distribution to which this subsection (b) applies and (y) the
“‘ex’ date” shall occur on or after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or options to which this subsection (b) applies, the fair market value (on the record date for the
distribution to which this subsection (b) applies and as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the assets of the Company or evidences of indebtedness, cash or securities distributed in respect of each share
of Common Stock in such subsection (c) distribution. The adjustment shall, except as provided in subsection (f) below, become effective on the day immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the
rights, warrants or options to which this subsection (b) applies. 
  
 (c) In case the Company after the date hereof shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, cash or securities (excluding any distributions referred to in subsections (a) or (b) and any
dividend or distribution paid in cash out of earned surplus of the Company) then in each such case the Option Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Option Price in effect 
  

 5 

 immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current
market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (d) below) on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the
portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, cash or securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall, except
as provided in subsection (f) below, become effective on the day immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. 
  
 (d) For the purpose of any computation under subsection (b) or (c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock
on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the “‘ex’
date”, with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of subsection (b) and this subsection (d), the term “‘ex’ date,” when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the
first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) (or, if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading and if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) without the right to
receive such issuance or distribution. “Market Value” on any trading day shall mean (i) in the case of a security traded on the over-the-counter market and not on Nasdaq nor on any national securities exchange, the per share last sale
price of the Common Stock on such trading day as reported by Nasdaq or an equivalent generally accepted reporting service; (ii) in the case of a security traded on Nasdaq or on a national securities exchange, the per share last sale price of the
Common Stock on such trading day on Nasdaq or on the principal stock exchange on which it is listed, as the case may be or (iii) if neither clause (i) or (ii) above is applicable, then the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the
Company’s Board of Directors. For purposes of clause (i) above, if trading in the Common Stock is not reported by Nasdaq, the bid price referred to in said clause shall be the lowest bid price as reported in the “pink sheets”
published by National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated. The closing price referred to in clause (ii) above shall be the last reported sale price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and
asked prices, in either case on Nasdaq or on the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed. 
  
 (e) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Option
Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. 
  
 (f) In any case in which this Section 8 shall require that an adjustment be
made effective on the day immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which
case the Company shall, with respect to any Option exercised after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become 
  

 6 

 effective (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 9 hereof or issuing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such exercise in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Option Price prior to such adjustment, and
(ii) not later than five business days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to the Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 9 hereof and issue to the Holder the additional shares of Common Stock (or other asset or
securities) issuable on such exercise. 
  
 (g) Upon the expiration
of any rights, warrants or options referred to in subsection (b) or (c) above, to the extent the Options shall not have been exercised, the Option Price shall be adjusted to such amount as would have been received by the Holder had the adjustment in
such Option Price made upon the distribution of such rights, warrants or options been made upon the basis of the distribution of only such number of rights, warrants or options as were actually exercised. 
  
 (h) No adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to the Options
or in the Option Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of the number of Shares then purchasable upon exercise of the Options or in the Option Price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this subsection 8.1(h) are not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to
the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. 
  
 (i)
Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Options or the Option Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed to the Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such
adjustment setting forth the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Options and the Option Price after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made.

  
 (j) Except as provided in this Section 8 or in Section 11,
during the term of the Options or upon the exercise of the Options, no adjustment shall be made (i) in respect of any dividends or distributions or (ii) in respect of the consummation of any business combination or other extraordinary transaction.

  
 (k) Irrespective of any adjustments in the number of
securities issuable upon exercise of Options or in the Option Price, Option certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number of securities and Option Price as are stated in the Option certificates initially
issuable pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form of Option certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance
thereof; and any Option certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Option certificate, may be in the form so changed. 
  

 7 

 8.2    Par Value of Shares of Common Stock. Before taking any action which
would cause an adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Option Price allocable to each Share below the then par value per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options, the Company will take any corporate action which
may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon exercise of the Options. 
  
 8.3    Independent Public Accountants. The Company may retain a firm of independent public
accountants of recognized national standing (which may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section 8, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness
of any computation made under this Section 8. 
  
 8.4    Statement on Option Certificates. Irrespective of any adjustments in the number of securities issuable upon exercise of Options or in the Option Price, Option certificates theretofore or thereafter issued
may continue to express the same number of securities and Option Price as are stated in the Option certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive),
make any change in the form of Option certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any Option certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration of, or in exchange or substitution for, an
outstanding Option certificate, may be in the form so changed. 
  
 Section 9.    Fractional Interests; Fair Value. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares on the exercise of the Options. If any fraction of a Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section 9, be issuable on the exercise of the Options (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the then Market Value of the Common Stock on the day of such exercise multiplied by such fraction. 
  
 Section 10.    No Right as Stockholder; Notices to the
Holder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Options shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his transferees any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote, receive dividends, call meetings, consent
or receive notices as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter or imposing any fiduciary or other duty on the Company, its officers or directors, in favor of the Holder,
all of which rights and duties owed to stockholders are disclaimed and waived by the Holder. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Options and prior to their exercise, any one or more of the following events shall occur:

  
 (a) any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to
Section 8.1; or 
  
 (b) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company or a consolidation, merger or similar business combination or sale of its property, assets and business as an entirety or substantially as an entirety shall be proposed; 
  

 8 

 then the Company shall give notice in writing of such event to the Holder, as provided in Section 10 hereof, promptly
prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to any relevant dividend, distribution, subscription rights or other rights, or for the determination of
stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to mail or receive such notice or any defect
therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken with respect thereto. 
  
 Section 11.    Continuation of Purchase Rights in Case of Reclassification, Change, Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. If any of the following shall occur, namely: (a) any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock), (b) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person, or the merger of any other person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any
reclassification, change, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or (c) sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (computed on a consolidated basis), then the Company,
or such successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Holder an agreement providing that the
Holder shall have the right to exercise the Options only into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock of the
Company (i) is not a person party to such transaction and (ii) failed to exercise its rights of an election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or conveyance (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash, and other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance is not the same for each share of
Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then
for the purpose of this Section 11 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the
kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Agreement. If, in the
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property (including
cash) of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, then such agreement shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional
provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provisions 
  

 9 

 of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. Notice of the
execution of each such agreement shall be mailed to the Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid. 
  
 Section 12.    Securities Laws; Restrictions on Transfer of Shares; Registration Rights. 
  
 (a) The Holder agrees that the Options and the related Shares (each of the
Options and the Shares being referred to herein as a “Security” and together, “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that the Holder will not purchase, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities except
under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act. In order to exercise these Options, the Holder must be able to confirm and shall confirm in writing, by executing a certificate to be supplied by the Company, all of the
representations and other covenants contained in this Agreement, including that the Securities so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale. The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be
stamped or imprinted with, in addition to any other appropriate or required legend, a legend in substantially the following form: 
  
 “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR
DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND ANY PROSPECTUS DELIVERY
REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT APPLICABLE OR (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY
WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.” 
  
 (b) In addition, the Holder specifically represents to the Company both at the time of the grant of the Options and at those future times as specified
herein: 
  
 (1) The Holder has experience in analyzing and
investing in companies like the Company and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect his own interests. The Holder is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in
Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Act. The Holder is aware of the Company’s 
  

 10 

 business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient to reach an informed
and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for his own account for investment purposes only not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any
“distribution” thereof for purposes of the Act. The Holder acknowledges the Company’s obligation to file a registration statement with respect to the Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof
by and among the Company and the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the effectiveness of which registration statement may be required for the resale of the Shares. The Holder has not offered or sold any portion of the
Securities to be acquired by the Holder and has no present intention of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of such Securities either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or
nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance, and in particular the Holder has no current intention to resell the Shares under such registration statement nor would it have such intention if such registration statement were effective as
of the date of purchase. The Holder understands that investment in the Securities is subject to a high degree of risk. The Holder can bear the economic risk of his investment, including the full loss of his investment, and by reason of his business
or financial experience or the business or financial experience of his professional advisors has the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of his investment and protect his own interest in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

  
 (2) The Holder understands that the Securities have not been
and except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Shares will not be registered under the Act or any applicable State securities law in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein and the Holder will furnish the Company with such additional information as is reasonably requested
by the Company in connection with such exemption. 
  
 (3) The
Holder further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration are otherwise available. Moreover, the Holder
understands that the Company is under no obligation to and does not expect to register the Securities except as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Shares. 
  
 (4) The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the
Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an Affiliate of such issuer), in a nonpublic offering subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other things: The availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after the party has purchased and paid for the Securities to be sold; the
sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the amount of securities
being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein. 
  
 (5) The Holder further understands that he may not transfer the Options and that at the time he wishes to sell the Securities, it is possible that there
will be no public market upon 
  

 11 

 which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the
current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied. 
  
 (6) The Holder further understands that in the event all of the requirements
of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act or compliance with registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has
expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such actions do so at their own risk. 
  
 (7) To the Holder’s knowledge, the Company has made available copies of the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act since the beginning
of the Company’s current fiscal year. The Holder has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions relating to and otherwise discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management, customers and
other parties, and the Holder has received satisfactory responses to the Holder’s inquiries. The Holder has relied solely on his own independent investigation before deciding to enter into the purchase of the Options contemplated hereby. Unless
the Holder has otherwise notified the Company in writing, the Holder is not, and has not been within the ninety (90) days prior to the closing date of the purchase of the Securities, a broker or dealer of securities. Unless the Holder has otherwise
notified the Company in writing, the Holder is not an employee, officer or director of the Company nor prior to the consummation of the actions contemplated hereby, is the Holder the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Common Stock of the Company.

  
 (c) With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of
any Securities that is not registered under the Act, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of the Holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested
by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Securities and indicating whether or
not under the Act, certificates for the Securities in question to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Such opinion must be
satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable judgment and shall state that it may be relied upon by counsel to the Company, and any stock exchange or transfer agent. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and satisfactory opinion, if so
requested, the Company shall notify the Holder that the Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of such Securities all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this subsection (c)
that the opinion of counsel for the Holder is not satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination has been made and shall specify in detail the legal analysis supporting any such conclusion. Each
certificate representing the Securities thus transferred (except a transfer registered under the Act or a transfer of Shares pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance
with such laws, unless in 
  

 12 

 the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the Holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such
laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. 
  
 (d) Prior to any transfer of the Securities (except a transfer registered under the Act or a transfer of Shares pursuant to Rule 144), the proposed
transferee shall agree in writing with the Company to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (whether or not the Options have been exercised or otherwise outstanding) as if an original signatory hereto and the proposed transferee must be able to
and must make representations as set forth in this Section 12. 
  
 (e) As used in this Section 12, “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any other person controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person (for the purposes of this definition
“control,” when used with respect to any specified person, shall mean the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the
terms “controlling” and “controlled” shall have meanings correlative to the foregoing). 
  
 Section 13.    Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement by the Company or by the Holder or a holder of Shares shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested: 
  
 (a) If to the Holder or holders of Shares, addressed to them at TI Capital Management, 9200 Sunset Boulevard, Penthouse 2, Los Angeles, California, 90069.

  
 (b) If to the Company, addressed to it at 4322 South 49th West
Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74107, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. 
  
 Each party
may from time to time change the address to which notices to it are to be delivered or mailed hereunder by notice in accordance herewith to the other party. 
  
 Section 14.    Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the Holder
or the holders of Shares shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. 
  
 Section 15.    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware
and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State. 
  
 Section 16.    Benefits of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company, the Holder and the holders of Shares any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim 
  

 13 

 under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Holder and the
holders of Shares. 
  
 Section
17.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 Section 18.    Amendment. Except as expressly
provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought; provided, however, that any provisions hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder having the right to acquire by virtue of holding the Options at least 50% of the Shares
which are then issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Options. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed, all as of the day and year first above written.

 SYNTROLEUM CORPORATION

 1350 South Boulder, Suite 1100

 The undersigned hereby irrevocably elects to exercise the
right of purchase represented by the within Option certificate for, and to purchase thereunder,              shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) provided for therein, and
requests that certificates for the Shares be issued in the name of: 
  

	

	
	

	
	

 (Please Print or Type Name, Address and Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number)

  
 and, if said number of Shares shall not be all the Shares purchasable
