EXPRESS SCRIPTS, INC. 
 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

Express Scripts Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), has granted you (“Optionee”) an option to
purchase shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in your Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Option Agreement
(“Option Agreement”). 
 The Option is granted pursuant to the Express Scripts, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as
amended from time to time (the “Plan”), pursuant to which options, and other awards, may be granted to key employees of the Company or an Affiliate. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, all capitalized terms utilized herein
(including on Schedule 1 hereto) shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan 
 The details of your
Option are as follows: 
 1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to an action of the Board and/or the Committee, the Company hereby
grants to Optionee an option to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Option”), subject to the terms and conditions described herein. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your Option and the Exercise Price Per Share are set
forth in the Grant Notice. If designated in the Grant Notice as an Incentive Stock Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), it shall nevertheless be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 2. Term, Vesting and Forfeiture. 
 (a) Term. This Option may be
exercised only within the Term set forth in the Grant Notice, and may be exercised during such Term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement. 
 (b) Time Vesting. The Option shall vest in one or more installments in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Grant Notice, with the vesting of each installment subject to the
Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to the terms hereof and, where applicable, the terms of an Applicable Employment Agreement (as defined below), if any. 

(c) Accelerated Vesting. Any Option, or portion thereof, which has not yet vested under subparagraph (b) above shall, upon
the occurrence of a Change in Control or the termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company, vest or be forfeited in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and the terms of this Agreement (including Schedule 1 hereto), and,
where applicable, the terms of an Applicable Employment Agreement. 
 (d) Forfeiture of Option. If Optionee’s
employment with the Company terminates for any reason, Optionee shall forfeit all rights with respect to any portion of the Option that has not yet vested as of the effective date of the termination, except to the extent such Award vests upon such
termination under Paragraph 2(c). 

 3. Exercise of Option. 

(a) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its Term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant
Notice and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. 
 (b) Method of Exercise. This Option is
exercisable pursuant to the procedures for exercise provided from time to time by the Company and/or by a third-party vendor selected by the Company. The Option exercise shall require payment of the aggregate exercise price as to all exercised
shares. The method of payment of the aggregate exercise price shall be in a form approved by the Company in accordance with Section 7(a)(ii) of the Plan. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt and approval by the Company (or
the appropriate third party) of all required exercise notices, together with full payment of the exercise price and such additional documents as the Company (or the third-party vendor) may then require. The Company may cause, or authorize its
third-party to vendor to cause, the vested portion of this Option to automatically be exercised on the Expiration Date for such Option, to the extent it has not previously been exercised or forfeited. 

4. Incorporation of the Plan by Reference; Conflicting Terms. The Option is granted under, and expressly subject to, the terms and
provisions of the Plan, which terms and provisions are incorporated herein by reference. Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall govern. 
 5.
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 Optionee. 
 6.
Stockholder Rights. Optionee shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to this Option until Optionee shall have exercised the Option in accordance with Section 3 hereof. 

7. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Acquisitions. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason
of any Fundamental Change, divestiture, distribution of assets to stockholders (other than ordinary cash dividends), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination or exchange,
rights offering, spin-off or other relevant change, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (a) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this Option, and (b) the Exercise Price Per Share set forth in the Grant Notice in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder. 
 8. Compliance with Laws
and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law and the
requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the shares of Common Stock are then listed. 
 9.
Committee Discretion. This Option has been granted pursuant to a determination made by the Board and/or Committee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall have plenary
authority to: (a) interpret any provision of this Agreement or the Option; (b) make any determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement or the Option; (c) make adjustments as it deems appropriate to the
aggregate number and type of securities available under this Agreement to appropriately adjust for, and give effect to, any 

 
Fundamental Change, divestiture, distribution of assets to stockholders (other than ordinary cash dividends), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, stock combination or exchange, rights offering, spin-off or other relevant change; and (d) otherwise modify or amend any provision hereof, or otherwise with respect to the Option, in any manner that does not materially and
adversely affect any right granted to Optionee by the express terms hereof, unless required as a matter of law, subject to the limitations stated in the Plan. 
 10. Clawback Policy. If Optionee is or subsequently becomes a Senior Executive or Chief Accounting Officer of the Company who is subject to the Policy (as hereinafter defined), this Award shall be
subject to the Company’s Clawback and Recoupment Policy, or any successor policy, as it may be in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, any changes required to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (the “Policy”), and Optionee specifically acknowledges that such Policy shall apply to previously granted awards and that the Committee shall have discretion regarding application of the Policy to this Award. 

11. Tax Withholding. At the time Optionee exercises his or her Option, in whole or in part, the Company shall withhold from
Optionee’s compensation any required taxes, including social security and Medicare taxes, and federal, state and local income tax, with respect to the income arising from the exercise of the Option under this Agreement. The Company shall have
the right to require the payment of any such taxes before delivering any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof. Optionee may elect to have any such withholding obligations satisfied by: (i) delivering
cash; (ii) delivering part or all of the withholding payment in previously owned shares of Common Stock; and/or (iii) irrevocably directing the Company to reduce the number of shares that would otherwise be issued to Optionee upon the
exercise of the Option that number of whole shares of Common Stock having a fair market value, determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld, but not to exceed the Company’s required
minimum statutory withholding. If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, Optionee must immediately notify the Company in writing in the event Common Stock received pursuant to the Option is sold on or before the later of (a) two years after
the Grant Date (as set forth in the Grant Notice), or (b) one year after the exercise date of the Option. 
 12.
Electronic Delivery. The Company may choose to deliver certain statutory or regulatory materials relating to the Plan in electronic form, including without limitation securities law disclosure materials. Without limiting the foregoing, by
accepting this Option, Optionee hereby agrees that the Company may deliver the Plan prospectus and the Company’s annual report to Optionee in an electronic format. If at any time Optionee would prefer to receive paper copies of any document
delivered in electronic form, the Company will provide such paper copies upon written request to the Investor Relations department of the Company. 
 13. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any limitation or restriction on such rights as the Company otherwise would have to terminate the
employment of Optionee at any time for any reason. 
 14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including Schedule 1 hereto,
and the Plan contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties except to the extent that the vesting and/or forfeiture of
this Option is specifically addressed by any employment agreement between the Company and Optionee (an “Applicable Employment Agreement”), in which instance the relevant terms of such Applicable Employment Agreement shall be incorporated
herein and deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement regarding the vesting or forfeiture of the Option, and the terms of an Applicable Employment Agreement (if any), the terms and
provisions of the Applicable Employment Agreement shall govern. In addition, any references in any such Applicable Employment Agreement to the Express Scripts, Inc. 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan shall also be deemed to refer to the Plan as
appropriate. 

 15. Governing Law. To the extent federal law does not otherwise control, this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. 

 SCHEDULE 1 TO EXHIBIT A 

TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS UNDER THE 
 EXPRESS SCRIPTS, INC. 
 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  

	 	I.	Termination of Employment 

(A) Generally. Except as specifically set forth herein, or in an Applicable Employment Agreement, any portion of the Option that
has not vested as of the date of the termination of Optionee’s employment by the Company or any Affiliate shall terminate as of such date, and the unvested portion of the Option shall be forfeited to the Company without payment therefor.

 (B) Death. If Optionee’s employment terminates because of his or her death, then the Option, to the extent it has
not expired or been terminated, shall vest and become exercisable in full, and may be exercised by the Optionee’s Successor at any time, or from time to time, within one year after the date of Optionee’s death. 

(C) Disability. If Optionee’s employment terminates because of Disability, then the Option, to the extent it has not expired
or been terminated, shall vest and become exercisable in full, and Optionee or Optionee’s Successor may exercise such Option at any time, or from time to time, within one year after the date of Optionee’s Disability. 

(D) Retirement. If Optionee’s employment terminates because of Retirement, the Option, to the extent it has not expired or
been terminated, shall vest and become exercisable in full, and Optionee may exercise such Option at any time, or from time to time, within one year after the date of Retirement. 

(E) Termination for Cause. Upon termination of Optionee’s employment by the Company for Cause, the Option, to the extent not
previously exercised, shall immediately terminate. 
 (F) Reasons other than Death, Disability, Retirement or Termination for
Cause. If Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or by the Company for Cause, then the Option, if it is a Non-Qualified Stock Option, to the extent it has not expired or been terminated,
shall remain exercisable for one year after termination of Optionee’s employment (and if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent it has not expired or been terminated, the Option shall remain exercisable for three months after
termination of Optionee’s employment), but only to the extent that such Option was exercisable immediately prior to Optionee’s termination of employment. 
 (G) Expiration of Term. Any portion of the Option that remains unexercisable upon termination of employment (after taking into account the foregoing paragraphs (A)-(F) and/or the provisions of
any Applicable Employment Agreement) shall terminate immediately upon such termination of employment. Any portion of the Option that is, or becomes, exercisable upon termination of employment which is not exercised within the applicable period set
forth in the foregoing paragraphs (A)-(F) (or pursuant to an Applicable Employment Agreement ) shall terminate as of the end of the applicable period described in such paragraphs (or pursuant to an Applicable Employment Agreement); provided,
however, that the Company may cause, or authorize its third-party to vendor to cause, any remaining vested portion of the Option to automatically be exercised on the last date of the applicable period, to the extent it has not previously been
exercised or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of the Plan, the Stock Option Agreement, the Grant Notice, this Schedule 1, or an Applicable Employment Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Option be
exercisable after expiration of the Term. 

	 	II.	Change in Control 

 (A)
Acceleration of Vesting Upon Change in Control After Which No Public Market for Company or Exchange Stock Exists 
 (i)
Acceleration of Vesting. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control after which there will be no generally recognized U.S. public market for the Company’s Common Stock or any common stock for which the Company’s Common Stock is
exchanged, the Option, to the extent it has not expired or been terminated, shall, to the extent not yet exercisable, vest and become exercisable in full. 
 (ii) Company Payment. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control transaction after which there will be no generally recognized U.S. public market for the Company’s Common Stock or any common
stock for which the Company’s Common Stock is exchanged, on the Change in Control Date the Option shall be automatically cancelled without further action by the Company or the Optionee,, and the Company shall provide payment in connection with
such cancellation at a per share price equal to the excess (if any) of the Change in Control Price (as defined below) over the exercise price of the Option. The Change in Control Price shall mean the value, expressed in dollars, as of the date of
receipt of the per share consideration received by the Company’s stockholders whose stock is acquired in a transaction constituting a Change in Control. In case such all or part of such consideration shall be in a form other than cash, the
value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by a majority of the Incumbent Board, or if there shall be none, by a majority of the Board of Directors based on a written opinion by a nationally recognized investment banking firm,
whose determination shall be described in a statement furnished to Participants. 
 (B) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Other
Change in Control Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control after which there remains a generally recognized U.S. public market for the Company’s Common Stock or for any common stock for which the Company’s Common Stock
is exchanged, the Option, to the extent it has not expired or been terminated, shall vest and become exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable for the remainder of the Term. 

(C) Options Not Assumed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may provide for such other treatment of
the Option as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion with respect to the Option if it is not assumed or is cancelled in connection with a Change in Control.Non-Statutory Stock Option Agreement for David W. Wehlmann dated April 1, 2012

 Exhibit 10.1 
 NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 OMEGA PROTEIN CORPORATION

 2006 INCENTIVE PLAN 
 This Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”), is entered into as of April 1, 2012 between Omega Protein Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and David
Wehlmann (the “Optionee”). 
 WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Omega Protein Corporation 2006 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to encourage officers,
employees, outside directors and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries to acquire or increase their ownership interest in the Company and to provide a means whereby they may develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the
development and financial success of the Company, and to encourage them to remain with and devote their best efforts to the business of the Company thereby advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders; and 

WHEREAS, the Plan provides that such selected individuals may be granted a certain number of Options (as defined in the Plan) to purchase
shares of the Common Stock, par value $.0l per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company to provide them with an ownership interest in the growth of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Plan, the Optionee, as an outside director of the Company, is entitled to an automatic grant of a non-qualified option for a number of shares of Common Stock
on the date of that such director is first appointed to serve as a director, which was April 1, 2012; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Board of Directors or Compensation Committee thereof has currently fixed the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted under Section 4.4 of the Plan for such first-time date of service at 14,200; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the terms and conditions set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the
performance thereof and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company grants Optionee an option (the “Option” or
“Stock Option”) to purchase 14,200 full shares (the “Optioned Shares”) of Common Stock at an Option Price equal to $ 7.74 per share. The Date of Grant of this Stock Option is April 1, 2012. The “Option Period”
shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. The Stock Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 

 2. Subject to Plan. The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to
them in the Plan. The Stock Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Committee. 
 3. Vesting:
Time of Exercise. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Stock Option shall be 100% vested and exercisable six months and one day after the date of this
Agreement 
 The Optionee shall also become 100% vested in the total Optioned Shares hereunder on the day preceding an event
which constitutes a Change in Control as defined in the Plan. 
 4. Term; Forfeiture. In the event
that Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company (a “Termination of Director Status”) for any reason other than Optionee’s death or disability or an Adverse Effect (as defined below), the Option outstanding on such date of
Termination of Director Status, to the extent vested on such date, may be exercised by Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee’s subsequent death, by Optionee’s Heir (as defined below)) until the expiration of the Option Period, but not
thereafter. In no event shall the Option be exercisable after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. To the extent the Option is not vested on Optionee’s date of Termination of Director Status, the Option shall automatically lapse and be canceled unexercised
as of such date. 
 In the event that an Adverse Event (as defined herein) occurs, any Option granted pursuant to this Agreement
whether vested or unvested shall be forfeited upon the date that the Adverse Event occurs. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adverse Event” shall mean (i) the Director’s final conviction of a felony crime that enriched the
Director at the expense of the Company; or (ii) a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Director has materially breached his or her fiduciary duty to the Company. For the purposes the definition of Adverse Effect, the
term “Company” includes Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 In the event of Optionee’s
Termination of Director Status by reason of death or disability, as defined by the Committee in its sole discretion pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Option shall be fully vested on such date of termination and may be exercised by Optionee or,
in the event of Optionee’s death, by the person to whom Optionee’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution (“Heir”), at any time within the twelve (12) month period beginning on Optionee’s
Termination of Director Status, but not thereafter. However, in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. 

5. Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Optionee,
the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Optionee, or by the Optionee’s guardian or personal or legal representative (in the event of his or her disability or by a broker dealer subject to Section 2.3 of the Plan). 

6. No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock
shall be issued. 

  
 2 

 7. Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee
may from time to time adopt, the Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Committee or designated Company representative setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is to be exercised,
the date of exercise thereof (the “Exercise Date”) which shall be at least three (3) days after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon. On the Exercise Date, the Optionee shall deliver to the
Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable to the Company in full in either: (i) in cash or its equivalent, or (ii) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its
discretion, by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered must have been held by the Optionee for at least six
(6) months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price), or (iii) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its discretion, by withholding Shares which otherwise would be acquired on exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value
at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price, or (iv) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its discretion, by a combination of (i), (ii), and (iii) above. Any payment in Shares shall be effected by the surrender of such
Shares to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the Stock Option is exercised. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee in its discretion, the Optionee shall not surrender, or attest
to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Option Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes. 

The Committee, in its discretion, also may allow the Option Price to be paid with such other consideration as shall constitute lawful
consideration for the issuance of Shares (including, without limitation, effecting a “cashless exercise” with a broker of the Option), subject to applicable securities law restrictions and tax withholdings, or by any other means which the
Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. A “cashless exercise” of an Option is a procedure by which a broker provides the funds to the Optionee to effect an Option exercise, to the extent
consented to by the Committee in its discretion. At the direction of the Optionee, the broker will either (i) sell all of the Shares received when the Option is exercised and pay the Optionee the proceeds of the sale (minus the Option Price,
withholding taxes and any fees due to the broker) or (ii) sell enough of the Shares received upon exercise of the Option to cover the Option Price, withholding taxes and any fees due the broker and deliver to the Optionee (either directly or
through the Company) a stock certificate for the remaining Shares. 
 As soon as practicable after receipt of a written
notification of exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to or on behalf of the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee or other appropriate recipient, Share certificates for the number of Shares purchased under
the Option. Such delivery shall be effected for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to Optionee or other appropriate recipient.

 If the Optionee fails to pay for any of the Shares specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, then the
Option, and right to purchase such Shares may be forfeited by the Company. 

  
 3 

 8. Nonassignability. The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the
Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order that would qualify as a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, if such provision were applicable
to the Stock Option and as otherwise permitted under Section 5.2 of the Plan. 
 9. Rights as Stockholder. The
Optionee will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Stock Option until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Optionee for the Optioned Shares. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and Plan regarding such Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or
certificates. 
 10. Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters. The number of shares of Common Stock
covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Plan. 
 11. Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Stock Option shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. 
 12. Community Property. Each spouse individually is bound by, and such spouse’s interest, if any, in any Shares is subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall
create a community property interest where none otherwise exists. 
 13. Optionee’s Representations. Notwithstanding
any of the provisions hereof, the Optionee hereby agrees that he will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Optionee hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of
such shares shall constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or Company policies, or the rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. Optionee
acknowledges and agrees that if he or she is an officer, director or key employee of the Company, Optionee will be subject to the Company’s securities trading policy as it may be in effect from time to time and which may “black out”
periods of time during which the Stock Option may not be exercised or which may also limit the amount of Shares that may be purchased or sold to a number that is less than requested by the Optionee. Any determination in this connection by the
Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Optionee are subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed and policies
of the Company. 
 14. Investment Representation. The Optionee represents and warrants to the Company that all Common
