2021 Equity Incentive Plan

Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement

 

Option Terms and Conditions

 

		1.	Non-Qualified Stock Option. This Option is not intended to be an “incentive
stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly.

 

		2.	Vesting and Exercisability of Option.

 

(a)       Scheduled
Vesting. This Option will vest and become exercisable as to the number of Shares and on the dates specified in the Vesting and Exercise
Schedule on the cover page to this Agreement, so long as your Service to the Company does not end. The Vesting and Exercise Schedule is
cumulative, meaning that to the extent the Option has not already been exercised and has not expired or been terminated or cancelled,
you or the person otherwise entitled to exercise the Option as provided in this Agreement may at any time purchase all or any portion
of the Shares subject to the vested portion of the Option.

 

(b)       Accelerated
Vesting. Notwithstanding Section 2(a), (i) this Option will vest and become exercisable in full upon a termination of your Service
as a result of your death or Disability and shall remain exercisable for the period specified in Section 6(e) of the Plan, and (ii) [officers:
if and to the extent this Option is continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Change in Control, and if during the three
months preceding or eighteen months after such Change in Control you experience an involuntary termination of Service for reasons other
than Cause (as defined in your written employment agreement with the Company)(the “Employment Agreement”) or you terminate
your Service due to Constructive Discharge (as defined in the Employment Agreement)][non-officers: if and to the extent this Option
is continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Change in Control, and if during the twelve months after such Change in Control
your Service is terminated by the Company other than for Cause], then this Option (or any replacement award) shall immediately vest and
become exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable for one year following your termination of Service. In addition, vesting and exercisability
of this Option may be accelerated during the term of the Option under the circumstances described in Sections 12(b) and 12(c) of the Plan,
and at the discretion of the Committee in accordance with Section 3(b)(2) of the Plan.

 

		3.	Expiration. This Option will expire and will no longer be exercisable at 5:00 p.m.
Central Time on the earliest of:

 

		(a)	The expiration date specified on the cover page of this Agreement;

 

		(b)	Upon your termination of Service for Cause;

 

		(c)	Upon the expiration of any applicable period specified in Section 6(e) of the Plan or Section 2 of this
Agreement during which this Option may be exercised after your termination of Service; or

 

		(d)	The date (if any) fixed for termination or cancellation of this Option pursuant to Section 12 of
the Plan.

 

		4.	Service Requirement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(e) of the Plan or Section
2 of this Agreement, this Option may be exercised only while you continue to provide Service to the Company or any Affiliate, and only if you have continuously
provided such Service since the Grant Date of this Option.

 

    Page 2 

     

    

 

		5.	Exercise of Option. Subject to Section 4, the vested and exercisable portion of this Option
may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Option term by delivering a written or electronic notice of exercise to [•]
or to such other party as may be designated by such officer, and by providing for payment of the exercise price of the Shares being acquired
and any related withholding taxes. The notice of exercise must be in a form approved by the Company and state the number of Shares to
be purchased, the method of payment of the aggregate exercise price and the directions for the delivery of the Shares to be acquired,
and must be signed or otherwise authenticated by the person exercising the Option. If you are not the person exercising the Option, the
person submitting the notice also must submit appropriate proof of his/her right to exercise the Option.

 

		6.	Payment of Exercise Price. When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment
of the exercise price of the Shares being purchased through one or a combination of the following methods:

 

		(a)	Cash (including personal check, cashier’s check or money order);

 

		(b)	By means of a broker-assisted cashless exercise in which you irrevocably instruct your broker to deliver
proceeds of a sale of all or a portion of the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise to the Company in payment of the exercise price
of such Shares; or

 

		(c)	By delivery to the Company of Shares (by actual delivery or attestation of ownership in a form approved
by the Company) already owned by you that are not subject to any security interest and that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise equal to the exercise price of the Shares being purchased; or

 

		(d)	By authorizing the Company to retain, from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is being
exercised, that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of
Shares as to which the Option is being exercised.

 

However, if the Committee
determines, in any given circumstance, that payment of the exercise price with Shares or by authorizing the Company to retain Shares is
undesirable for any reason, you will not be permitted to pay any portion of the exercise price in that manner.

 

		7.	Withholding Taxes. You may not exercise this Option in whole or in part unless you make
arrangements acceptable to the Company for payment of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes that may be due as a result
of the exercise of this Option. You hereby authorize the Company (or any Affiliate) to withhold from payroll or other amounts payable
to you any sums required to satisfy such withholding tax obligations, and otherwise agree to satisfy such obligations in accordance with
the provisions of Section 14 of the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, you may satisfy such withholding tax obligations
by delivering Shares you already own or by having the Company retain a portion of the Shares being acquired upon exercise of the Option,
provided you notify the Company in advance of any exercise of your desire to pay withholding taxes in this manner. Delivery of Shares
upon exercise of this Option is subject to the satisfaction of applicable withholding tax obligations.

                                            of Shares. As soon as practicable after the Company receives the notice of exercise
                                            and payment of the exercise price as provided above, and has determined that all other conditions
                                            to exercise, including satisfaction of withholding tax obligations and compliance with applicable
                                            laws as provided in Section 16(c) of the Plan, have been satisfied, it shall deliver to the
                                            person exercising the Option, in the name of such person, the Shares being purchased, as
                                            evidenced by issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, electronic delivery of such
                                            Shares to a brokerage account designated by such person, or book-entry registration of such
                                            Shares with the Company’s transfer agent. The Company shall pay any original issue
                                            or transfer taxes with respect to the issue or transfer of the Shares and all fees and expenses
                                            incurred by it in connection therewith. All Shares so issued shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

 

		9.	Transfer of Option. During your lifetime, only you (or your guardian or legal representative
in the event of legal incapacity) may exercise this Option except in the case of a transfer described below. You may not assign or transfer
this Option except (i) for a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will, by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant
to a beneficiary designation submitted in accordance with Section 6(d) of the Plan, (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, or (iii)
with the prior written approval of the Company, by gift to a ”family member” as the term is defined under General Instruction
A(5) to Form S-8 under the Securities Act. The Option held by any such transferee will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions
that were applicable to the Option immediately prior to its transfer and may be exercised by such transferee as and to the extent that
the Option has become exercisable and has not terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.

 

		10.	No Stockholder Rights Before Exercise. Neither you nor any permitted transferee of this
Option will have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares subject to this Option until a certificate
evidencing such Shares has been issued, electronic delivery of such Shares has been made to your designated brokerage account, or an appropriate
book entry in the Company's stock register has been made. No adjustments shall be made for dividends or other rights if the applicable
record date occurs before your stock certificate has been issued, electronic delivery of your Shares has been made to your designated
brokerage account, or an appropriate book entry in the Company's stock register has been made, except as otherwise described in the Plan.

 

		11.	Governing Plan Document. This Agreement and Option are subject to all the provisions of
the Plan, and to all interpretations, rules and regulations which may, from time to time, be adopted and promulgated by the Committee
pursuant to the Plan. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will
govern.

 

		12.	Choice of Law. This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the state
of Delaware (without regard to its conflicts or choice of law principles).

 

		13.	Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding in all respects on your heirs, representatives,
successors and assigns, and on the successors and assigns of the Company.

 

		14.	Other Agreements. You agree that in connection with the exercise of this Option, you will
execute such documents as may be necessary to become a party to any stockholder, voting or similar agreements as the Company may require.

 

		15.	Restrictive Legends. The Company may place a legend or legends on any certificate representing
Shares issued upon the exercise of this Option summarizing transfer and other restrictions to which the Shares may be subject under applicable
securities laws, other provisions of this Agreement, or other agreements contemplated by Section 14 of this Agreement. You agree that
in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to in this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer”
instructions to its transfer agent.

	 	16.	Compensation Recovery Policy. To the extent that any compensation paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement is considered “incentive-based compensation” within the meaning and subject to the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, such compensation shall be subject to potential forfeiture or recovery by the Company in accordance with any compensation recovery policy adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof in response to the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock is then listed.  This Agreement may be unilaterally amended by the Company to comply with any such compensation recovery policy.

Option Award by electronic means and request your acceptance of this Agreement by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive all
applicable documentation by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an on-line (and/or voice activated) system established

withhold for federal, state or local taxes in connection with the exercise of the Option, you hereby authorize the Company (or any Affiliate)

                                                          be exercised by such transferee as and to the extent that the Option has become exercisable and has not terminated in accordance
                                                          with the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.
