4.            Administration of the Plan.

 

(a)           Administrator.
The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to comply
with Applicable Laws.

 

(b)           Powers of the Administrator.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee,
and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:

 

(i)          to
determine the Fair Market Value;

 

(ii)         to
select the Service Providers to whom Options and Stock Purchase Rights may from time to time be granted hereunder;

determine the terms and conditions of any Option or Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include,
but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may
be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation
regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator,

(vi)         to

(vii)        to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws;

 

(viii)      to
allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required
to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be
withheld is to be determined. All elections by Optionees to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and
under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

 

(ix)         to
construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Options granted pursuant to the Plan.

 

(c)          Effect of Administrator’s Decision.
All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Optionees.

only to Employees.

 

    	 	-4-	 

     

    

 

6.            Limitations.

 

(a)            Incentive
Stock Option Limit. Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory
Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all
plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.
For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.
The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

 

(b)           At-Will
Employment. Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to
continuing the Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his
or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without
notice.

 

7.            Term of Plan.
Subject to stockholder approval in accordance with Section 19, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board.
Unless sooner terminated under Section 15, it shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of
(i) the effective date of the Plan, or (ii) the earlier of the most recent Board or stockholder approval of an increase in the
number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

 

8.            Term
of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more
than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at
the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such
shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

 

9.            Option
Exercise Price and Consideration.

 

(a)          Exercise
Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined
by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:

 

(i)          In
the case of an Incentive Stock Option

 

(1)         granted
to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(2)         granted
to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant.

 

(ii)          In
the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

 

(1)         granted
to a Service Provider who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

    	 	-5-	 

     

    

  

(2)         granted
to any other Service Provider, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of grant.

 

(iii)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above in accordance with and pursuant
to a transaction described in Section 424 of the Code.

 

(b)          Forms
of Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method
of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the
time of grant). Such consideration may consist of, without limitation, (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other
Shares, provided Shares acquired directly from the Company (x) have been owned by the Optionee, and not subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture, for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received
by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (6) any combination
of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall
consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

 

10.          Exercise of Option.

 

(a)            Procedure for Exercise;
Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and
under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised
for a fraction of a Share. Except in the case of Options granted to officers, Directors and Consultants, Options shall become exercisable
at a rate of no less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date the Options are granted.

 

An Option shall be deemed
exercised when the Company receives (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement)
from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by
the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive
dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made
for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13
of the Plan.

 

Exercise of an Option in
any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale
under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

    	 	-6-	 

     

    

 

(b)         Termination of
Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his or her Option
within thirty (30) days of termination, or such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent that
the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth
in the Option Agreement). Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if on the date of termination the Optionee is not vested
as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and
the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(c)         Disability
of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option within six (6) months of termination, or such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement,
to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option
as set forth in the Option Agreement). Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if on the date of termination the Optionee
is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.
If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate,
and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(d)         Death of Optionee.
If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within six (6) months following Optionee’s death,
or such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death
(but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) by the Optionee’s
designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Optionee’s death in a form acceptable to the
Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Optionee, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative
of the Optionee’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or in
accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire
Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so
exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the
Plan.

 

(e)         Leaves
of Absence.

 

(i)          Unless
the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder to officers and Directors shall be suspended during
any unpaid leave of absence.

 

(ii)         A
Service Provider shall not cease to be an Employee in the case of (A) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (B) transfers
between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, any Subsidiary, or any successor.

 

(iii)        For
purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave
is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed,
then three (3) months following the 91st day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Optionee shall cease
to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

    	 	-7-	 

     

    

 

11.          Stock
Purchase Rights.

 

(a)          Rights
to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under
the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights
under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the
offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within
which such person must accept such offer. The terms of the offer shall comply in all respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title
10 of the California Code of Regulations. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in
the form determined by the Administrator.

 

(b)          Repurchase
Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase
option exercisable within 90 days of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s service with the Company
for any reason (including death or disability). Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, the purchase price for Shares repurchased
pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation
of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the Administrator may determine.
Except with respect to Shares purchased by officers, Directors and Consultants, the repurchase option shall in no case lapse at
a rate of less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date of purchase.

 

(c)          Other
Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent
with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

 

(d)          Rights
as a Stockholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder
and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.
No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right
is exercised, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

 

12.          Limited
Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Options and
Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If
the Administrator in its sole discretion makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option or Stock Purchase Right
may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) to family members (within the meaning
of Rule 701 of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders, as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act.

 

13.          Adjustments;
Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

 

(a)            Adjustments.
In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,
or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the
Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended
to be made available under the Plan, may (in its sole discretion) adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under
the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right; provided, however,
that the Administrator shall make such adjustments to the extent required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations
Code.

 

    	 	-8-	 

     

    

 

(b)            Dissolution
or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously
exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

 

(c)            Merger
or Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control, each
outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or
a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation in a merger or Change in Control
refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Stock Purchase Right, then the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right
to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise
be vested or exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution
in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the
Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of time as determined by the Administrator, and the Option
or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock
Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the option or right confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or Change
in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control
by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that
if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon
the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders
of common stock in the merger or Change in Control.

 

14.          Time of Granting Options
and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on which
the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such later date as is determined by
the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right
is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 

15.          Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a)            Amendment
and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

(b)            Stockholder
Approval. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Applicable Laws.

 

    	 	-9-	 

     

    

 

(c)            Effect of Amendment or Termination.
No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed
otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with
respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

16.          Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a)            Legal
Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of
such Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

(b)            Investment
Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Administrator may require the person
exercising such Option or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel
for the Company, such a representation is required.

 

17.          Inability
to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve
the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall
not have been obtained.

 

18.          Reservation of Shares.
The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient
to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

19.          Stockholder
Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the
date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.

 

20.          Information
to Optionees. The Company shall provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, not
less frequently than annually during the period such Optionee has one or more Options or Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and,
in the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares, copies
of annual financial statements. The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in connection
with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

the Term/Expiration Date as provided above.

 

II.          AGREEMENT

 

A.           Grant
of Option. The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the “Optionee”),
an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise
price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between
the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

 

If designated in the Notice
of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option
as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d),
this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).

 

B.           Exercise
of Option.

 

1.          Right
to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice
of Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

 

2.          Method
of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A
(the “Exercise Notice”) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect
to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise
Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed
to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.

 

No Shares shall be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance,
for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised
with respect to such Shares.

 

C.           Optionee’s
Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time
this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion
of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

    	 	- 2 - 	 

     

    

 

D.           Lock-Up
Period. Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract
to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer
or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or
other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common
Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Optionee (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified
by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty
(180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other
period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication
or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the
restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

 

Optionee agrees to execute
and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the
foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative
of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Optionee shall provide, within ten (10) days of such
request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public
offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations
described in this section D shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form
S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction
on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred eighty
(180) day (or other) period. Optionee agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall
be bound by this section D.

 

E.           Method
of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election
of the Optionee:

 

1.          cash
or check;

 

2.          consideration
received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

 

3.          surrender
of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, either directly or indirectly, have been owned
by the Optionee, and not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and
(ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.

 

F.           Restrictions
on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company,
or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute
a violation of any Applicable Law.

 

    	 	- 3 - 	 

     

    

 

G.           Non-Transferability
of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution
and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be
binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

 

H.           Term
of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such
term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

 

I.             Tax
Obligations.

 

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

 

2.          Notice
of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise
disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date
of Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing
of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation
income recognized by the Optionee.

 

J.            Entire
Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements
of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s
interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive
laws but not the choice of law rules of Washington.

 

K.           No
Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE
HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING
GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT
AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S
RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE.

Optionee acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts
this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety,
has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully understands all provisions of
the Option. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator
upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Option. Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the

Seattle, WA 98119

Attention: President

 

1.          Exercise
of Option. Effective as of today, _____________, _____, the undersigned (“Optionee”) hereby elects to exercise
Optionee’s option to purchase ____________________ shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of PhaseRx,
Inc. (the “Company”) under and pursuant to the 2006 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and the
Stock Option Agreement dated _________________ (the “Option Agreement”).

 

2.          Delivery
of Payment. Optionee herewith delivers to the Company the full purchase price of the Shares, as set forth in the Option Agreement,
and any and all withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Option.

 

3.          Representations
of Optionee. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received, read and understood the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees
to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.

 

4.          Rights
as Stockholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a
duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall
exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to the Optionee
as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment shall be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in Section 13 of the
Plan.

 

5.          Company’s
Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Optionee or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as
the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company
or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5
(the “Right of First Refusal”).

 

(a)          Notice
of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”)
stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each
proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred
to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer
the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company
or its assignee(s).

 

     

     

    

 

(b)          Exercise
of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s)
may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred
to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c) below.

 

(c)          Purchase
Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s)
under this Section 5 shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent
value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

 

(d)          Payment.
Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation
of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee,
to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at
the times set forth in the Notice.

 

(e)          Holder’s
Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased
by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 5, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares
to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price; provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated
within 120 days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable
securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to
apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the
Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall
again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

 

(f)          Exception
for Certain Family Transfers. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5 notwithstanding, the transfer of any
or all of the Shares during the Optionee’s lifetime or on the Optionee’s death by will or intestacy to the Optionee’s
immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the Optionee’s immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this
Section 5. “Immediate Family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father,
mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject
to the provisions of this Section 5, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms
of this Section 5.

 

(g)          Termination
of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the earlier of (i) the first sale
of Common Stock of the Company to the general public, or (ii) a Change in Control in which the successor corporation has equity
securities that are publicly traded.

 

    	 	- 2 - 	 

     

    

 

6.          Tax
Consultation. Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Optionee’s purchase
or disposition of the Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax consultants Optionee deems advisable
in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

 

7.          Restrictive
Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

 

(a)          Legends.
Optionee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto,

the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

Law; Severability. This Exercise Notice is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules, of Washington.
In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable
or void, this Exercise Notice will continue in full force and effect.

 

11.         Entire
Agreement. The Plan and Option Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Exercise Notice, the Plan, the Option Agreement
and the Investment Representation Statement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

 

	OPTIONEE:	 	 
	 	 	 
	COMPANY:	PhaseRx, Inc.	 
	 	 	 
	SECURITY:	COMMON STOCK	 
	 	 	 
	AMOUNT:	 	 
	 	 	 
	DATE:	 	 

 

In connection with the
purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

 

(a)          Optionee
is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company
to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment
for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution”
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(b)          Optionee
acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act
and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends
upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee
understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable
if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital
gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the
Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities
must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration
is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities.
Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with any legend required under applicable
state securities laws.

     

     

    

 

(c)          Optionee
is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance,
permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof,
in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies
under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under
the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may
require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified
by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale 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); and,
in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of
Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the
timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

 

In the event that the Company
does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances
subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the
date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning
of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds
the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the
paragraph immediately above.

 

(d)          Optionee
further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration
under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding
the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are 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
Rules 144 or 701 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 transactions do so at their
own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in
such event.
