 2021 EMPLOYEE
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 Approved by the Board of Directors on [        ], 2021 

Approved by Stockholders on [        ], 2021 

Effective on [        ], 2021 

1. Purpose. The Plan consists of two components: a component that is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan”
under Section 423 of the Code (the “423 Component”) and a component that is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (the “Non-423 Component”). The provisions of the 423 Component will be construed in a manner consistent with Section 423 of the Code. The Non-423 Component will
be subject to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Administrator that are designed to achieve tax, securities law or other objectives for the Company and Eligible Employees. Except as otherwise
provided herein or as determined by the Administrator, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. 

2. Definitions. As used herein, the following definitions will apply: 

(a) “Administrator” means the Board or any Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan pursuant to
Section 14 hereof. 
 (b) “Affiliate” means (i) any entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by,
controls or is under common control with, the Company and (ii) any entity in which the Company has a significant equity interest, in either case, as determined by the Administrator. 

(c) “Applicable Exchange” means The Nasdaq Global Market or any other national stock exchange or quotation system on which
the shares of Common Stock may be listed or quoted.

 (e) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the
Company. 
 (f) “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive calendar months, individuals who were Directors on the first day of

Director subsequent to the first day of such period whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be considered as though such individual
were an Incumbent Director, but excluding, for purposes of this proviso, any such individual whose initial assumption of office 

 
occurs as a result of, or in connection with, an actual or threatened proxy contest with respect to the election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of any Person or Persons (whether or not acting in concert) other than the Board; 
 (ii) the
consummation of (A) a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of transaction involving (x) the Company or (y) any of its Subsidiaries, but in the case of this clause (y) only if Company Voting Securities

case, if such Reorganization or Sale requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders under the law of the Company’s jurisdiction of organization (whether such approval is required for such Reorganization or Sale or for the issuance of
securities of the Company in such Reorganization or Sale), unless, immediately following such Reorganization or Sale, (1) all or substantially all the Persons who were the “beneficial owners” (as used in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (or a successor rule thereto)) of the securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (“Company Voting Securities”) outstanding immediately prior to
the consummation of such Reorganization or Sale continue to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such
Reorganization or Sale (including a corporation or other entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (the “Continuing
Company”) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to the consummation of such Reorganization or Sale, of the outstanding Company Voting Securities (excluding, for such purposes, any outstanding voting
securities of the Continuing Company that such beneficial owners hold immediately following the consummation of the Reorganization or Sale as a result of their ownership prior to such consummation of voting securities of any corporation or other
entity involved in or forming part of such Reorganization or Sale other than the Company), (2) no Person (excluding (a) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Continuing Company, (b) any entity

(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company unless such
liquidation or dissolution is part of a transaction or series of transactions described in paragraph (ii) above that does not otherwise constitute a Change of Control; or 

  
 2 

 (iv) any Person, corporation or other entity (other than (A) the
Company, (B) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate or (C) the parties to the Voting Agreement (as subject to adjustment as provided therein), so long as the Voting
Agreement is in effect and such parties (as subject to adjustment as provided therein) collectively hold a majority of the power (whether exclusive or shared) to vote or direct the vote of then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Continuing
Company) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company Voting Securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this
subparagraph (iv), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: any acquisition (w) directly from the Company, (x) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or an
Affiliate, (y) by an underwriter temporarily holding such Company Voting Securities pursuant to an offering of such securities or any acquisition by a pledgee of Company Voting Securities holding such securities as collateral or temporarily
holding such securities upon foreclosure of the underlying obligation or (z) pursuant to a Reorganization or Sale that does not constitute a Change of Control for purposes of subparagraph (ii) above. 

(g) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 (h) “Committee” means a committee of the Board appointed in accordance with

successor thereto. 
 (k) “Compensation” means the regular earnings or base salary, annual bonuses, and commissions
(including any commission bonus) paid to the Eligible Employee by the Company or a Designated Company, as applicable, as compensation for services to the Company or a Designated Company, as applicable, before deduction for any salary deferral
contributions made by the Eligible Employee to any tax-qualified or nonqualified deferred compensation plan, including overtime, shift differentials, salaried production schedule premiums, holiday pay,
vacation pay, paid time off (PTO) (including any PTO payouts), sick pay, jury duty pay, funeral leave pay, other employer-paid leave pay (including parental leave pay, bereavement leave pay, and bone marrow and organ donor leave pay), volunteer time

gross ups and taxable mileage allowance, (v) income received in connection with any stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other compensatory equity awards, (vi) all contributions made by the Company or any Designated

office setup stipend), (viii) all payments by the 

  
 3 

 
state or other regulatory agencies, (ix) severance pay, and (x) all other cash bonuses not mentioned above (such as referral bonuses, peer bonuses, and
sign-on bonuses). Compensation will be calculated before deduction of any income or employment tax withholdings. Compensation will include the net impact of any current-period payments/deductions to correct
for prior-period payroll errors (unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, elects to give such corrections retroactive effect for purposes of this Plan). The Administrator, in its discretion, may establish a different definition of
Compensation for an Offering, which for the Section 423 Component will apply on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. Further, the Administrator will have discretion to determine the application of this definition to Eligible Employees outside
the United States 
 (l) “Contributions” means the payroll deductions and other additional payments that the Company may
permit a Participant to make to fund the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan. 
 (m) “Designated Company”
means each Affiliate, other than any Affiliate designated by the Administrator from time to time in its sole discretion as not eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of the 423 Component, only the Company, its Subsidiaries, and any Parent
of the Company may be Designated Companies. The Administrator may assign each Designated Company to participate in the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component but not both. An Affiliate that is disregarded for
U.S. federal income tax purposes in respect of a Designated Company participating in the 423 Component will automatically be a Designated Company participating in the 423 Component. An Affiliate that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax
purposes in respect of a Designated Company participating in the Non-423 Component may be excluded from participating in the Plan by the Administrator or may be assigned by the Administrator to an Offering
within the Non-423 Component that is separate from the Offering to which the Administrator assigns the Designated Company with respect to which it is disregarded. 

(n) “Director” means any non-employee member of the Board, but solely in his or her
capacity as such a member of the Board. 
 (o) “Eligible Employee” means any individual who is an employee providing
services to the Company or a Designated Company. For purposes of the Plan, the employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on military leave, sick leave or other leave of absence that the Employer approves or
is otherwise legally protected under Applicable Laws. Where the period of leave exceeds three months and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by Applicable Laws or by contract, the employment relationship will be
deemed to have terminated three months and one day following the commencement of such leave or such other period specified under the Treasury Regulations. The Administrator may, in its discretion, from time to time prior to an Offering Start Date
for all options to be granted on such Offering Start Date relating to an Offering, determine (on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis or as otherwise permitted by Section 1.423-2 of the Treasury
Regulations) that the definition of Eligible Employee will or will not include an individual if he or she (i) has not completed at least two years of service since his or her last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by
the Administrator in its discretion), (ii) customarily works not more than 20 hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be 

  
 4 

 
determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (iii) customarily works not more than five months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the
Administrator in its discretion) or (iv) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code (or such higher threshold as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion); provided,
however, that the exclusion is applied with respect to each Offering in an identical manner to all highly compensated individuals of the Employer whose Eligible Employees are participating in that Offering. Each exclusion will be applied with
respect to an Offering in a manner complying with Section 1.423-2(e) of the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) for purposes of any Offering under the 423 Component, the
Administrator may determine that the definition of Eligible Employee will not include employees who are citizens or residents of a foreign jurisdiction (without regard to whether they are also citizens of the United States or resident aliens)
if (A) the grant of an option under the Plan or such Offering to a citizen or resident of the foreign jurisdiction is prohibited under the laws of such jurisdiction or (B) compliance with the laws of the foreign jurisdiction
would cause the Plan or such Offering to violate the requirements of Section 423; and (2) for purposes of any Offering under the Non-423 Component, the Administrator may alter the definition of
Eligible Employee in its discretion, provided that anyone included in the definition must be a Person to whom the issuance of stock may be registered on Form S-8 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. 
 (p) “Employer” means the employer of the applicable Eligible Employee(s).

of Common Stock determined as follows: (i) the closing per-share sales price of the Common Stock as reported by the Applicable Exchange for such stock exchange for such date or if there were no sales on
such date, on the closest preceding date on which there were sales of Common Stock or (ii) in the event there shall be no public market for the Common Stock on such date, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by
the Committee. 
 (s) “New Purchase Date” means a new Purchase Date if the Administrator shortens any Offering Period then
in progress. 
 (t) “Offering” means an offer under the Plan of an option that may be exercised during an Offering Period
as further described in Section 5 hereof. For purposes of the Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan (the terms of which need not be identical) in which Eligible Employees of one or more Employers will
participate, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Periods of each such Offering are identical and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each Offering. To the extent permitted by
Section 1.423-2(a)(1) of the Treasury Regulations, the terms of each Offering need not be identical; provided, however, that the terms of the Plan and an Offering together satisfy Sections 1.423-2(a)(2) and (a)(3) of the Treasury Regulations.

to time. 
 (aa) “Purchase Date” means the last Trading Day of the Purchase Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that an Offering Period is terminated prior to its expiration pursuant to Section 20(a) hereof, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that any Purchase Period also terminating under such Offering Period will terminate
without options being exercised on the Purchase Date that otherwise would have occurred on the last Trading Day of such Purchase Period. 

(bb) “Purchase Period” means the periods during an Offering Period during which shares of Common Stock may be purchased on a
Participant’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
 (cc) “Purchase Price” means, with respect to an
Offering Period, an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value on the Offering Start Date or on the Purchase Date, whichever is lower; provided, however, that a higher Purchase Price may be determined for any Offering Period by the
Administrator subject to compliance with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision) or any other Applicable Laws or pursuant to Section 20 hereof. 

(dd) “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, as amended, including the rules and regulations

 (b) If any option granted under the Plan terminates without
having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such option will remain available for issuance under the Plan. 

(c) Until shares of Common Stock are issued under the Plan (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), a Participant will have only the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares of Common Stock, and no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with
respect to such shares of Common Stock. 
 4. Eligibility. (a) Generally. Any Eligible Employee on a given Offering Start
Date for an Offering Period will be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of Section 6 hereof. 

(b) Limitations. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no Eligible Employee will be granted an option under the
423 Component of the Plan (i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Eligible Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital
stock of the Company or any Affiliate and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock
of the Company or any Affiliate or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as defined in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company or any Affiliate accrues at a rate that exceeds
$25,000 worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value of the stock at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time, as determined in accordance with Section 423 of the Code and
the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
 (c) Equal Rights and Privileges. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary,
each Eligible Employee granted an option under the 423 Component of the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges with respect to such option to the extent required under Section 423(b)(5) of the Code and
Section 1.423-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 5. Offering Periods. (a) The
Plan will be implemented by one or more Offering Periods. Offerings may be consecutive or overlapping as determined by the Administrator. The duration and timing of Offering Periods may be changed pursuant to this Section 5 and Section 20
hereof. The Administrator will have the power to establish the duration of the first Offering Period and change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future Offerings. No Offering Period may be
more than 27 months in duration. 
  

	1 	 This blank shall be completed with the number that is equal to 2% of the outstanding Shares on the date of the
Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) (after giving effect to (i) the issuance of Shares in the IPO and (ii) the “Preferred Stock Conversion” and the automatic exercise of the “Reorg. Warrant”
(each as defined in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on October 8, 2021)). When such amount becomes determinable, the Company’s Secretary is authorized to insert the
numeral so determined into the text accompanying this footnote and to delete this footnote. 

  
 7 

 (b) Prior to the Offering Start Date of an Offering Period, the Administrator will establish
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that an Eligible Employee will be permitted to purchase during each Purchase Period during such Offering Period. 

6. Participation. An Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 4 hereof by (a) submitting to the
Company’s stock administration office (or its designee) a properly completed subscription agreement authorizing Contributions in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose or (b) following an electronic or other enrollment
procedure determined by the Administrator, in either case on or before a date determined by the Administrator prior to (i) the applicable Offering Start Date as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, or (ii) with respect
to the first Offering Period, no later than 30 days following the Offering Start Date. 
 7. Contributions. (a) At the time a
Participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 6 hereof, he or she will elect to have Contributions (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise, to the extent permitted by the Administrator) made on each eligible pay day during the
Offering Period equal to a whole percentage (and subject to any limit as may be set by the Administrator from time to time) of the Compensation that he or she receives on the pay day. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit all
Participants in a specified Offering to contribute amounts to the Plan through payment by cash, check or other means set forth in the subscription agreement or otherwise made available by the Administrator prior to each Purchase Date of each
Purchase Period. A Participant’s subscription agreement will remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 11 hereof. 

(b) In the event Contributions are made in the form of payroll deductions, such payroll deductions for a Participant will commence on the
first eligible pay day following the Offering Start Date and will end on the last eligible pay day on or prior to the last Purchase Date of such Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant
as provided in Section 11 hereof; provided, however, that for the first Offering Period, payroll deductions will not commence until such date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for administrative convenience, the Administrator (by announcement prior to the first affected Offering Period) may determine that contributions with respect to an eligible pay day occurring on a Purchase Date (or during a period of up to
five business days prior to a Purchase Date) shall be applied instead to the subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period. 
 (c) All
Contributions made for a Participant will be credited to his or her account under the Plan and Contributions will be made in whole percentages of his or her Compensation only. A Participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

 (d) A Participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided under Section 11 hereof. Unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator, during a Purchase Period, a Participant may not increase or decrease the rate of his or her Contributions. 

  
 8 

 
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for, or amend the nature and/or number of, Contribution rate changes that may be made by Participants during any Offering Period or Purchase
Period and may establish other conditions, limitations or procedures as it deems appropriate for Plan administration. 
 (e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 4(c) hereof, a Participant’s Contributions may be decreased by the Administrator to 0% at any time during a Purchase Period. Subject to
Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 4(c) hereof, Contributions will recommence at the rate originally elected by the Participant effective as of the beginning of the first Purchase Period scheduled to end in the following calendar
year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11 hereof. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in
the Plan, the Administrator may allow Participants to participate in the Plan via cash contributions instead of payroll deductions if (i) payroll deductions are not permitted (or the remittance of payroll deductions by a Designated Company to
the Company is not feasible) under Applicable Laws, (ii) the Administrator determines that cash contributions are permissible under Section 423 of the Code or (iii) the Participants are participating in the Non-423 Component. 
 (g) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or
all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs), the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s or Employer’s federal, state, local or any
other tax liability payable to any authority including taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the U.S., national insurance, social security or other tax withholding or payment on account obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the
option or the disposition of the Common Stock (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs). At any time, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation the
amount necessary for the Company or the Employer to satisfy applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the Employer any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early
disposition of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee. In addition, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock or utilize any other method of withholding the Company deems
appropriate (such as requiring a market sale of shares received under the Plan). 
 8. Grant of Option. On the Offering Start Date of
each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period will be granted an option to purchase on each Purchase Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of Common Stock
determined by dividing such Eligible Employee’s Contributions accumulated prior to such Purchase Date and retained in the Eligible Employee’s account as of the Purchase Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided,
however, that such purchase will be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3, 4(c), 5(b) and 6 hereof. The Eligible Employee may accept the grant of such option by electing to participate in the Plan in accordance with the
requirements of Section 6 hereof. Exercise of the option will occur as provided in Section 9 hereof, unless the Participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 11 hereof. The option will expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

  
 9 

 9. Exercise of Option. (a) Unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as
provided in Section 11 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on each Purchase Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the option will be purchased for such
Participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions from his or her account. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be purchased, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Any Contributions accumulated in a
Participant’s account at the end of an Offering Period, which are not sufficient to purchase a full share will either, as the Administrator shall determine, (i) be refunded to the Participant promptly following the end of such Offering
Period, or (ii) be retained in the Participant’s account for the subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant as provided in Section 11 hereof. During a Participant’s lifetime, a
Participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. 
 (b) If the Administrator determines that, on a
given Purchase Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Administrator
may, in its sole discretion, provide that the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Purchase Date in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole
discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and either (i) continue all Offering Periods then in effect or (ii) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect
pursuant to Section 20 hereof. 
 10. Delivery. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Purchase Date on which a purchase
of shares of Common Stock occurs, the Company will arrange the delivery to each Participant (or, if required by Applicable Laws, to the Participant and his or her spouse) of the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form
determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules established by the Administrator. The Company may permit or require that shares be deposited directly with a broker designated by the Company or to a designated agent of
the Company, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The Company may require that shares be retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit
tracking of disqualifying or other dispositions of such shares. No Participant will have any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted under the Plan until such shares have
been purchased and delivered to the Participant as provided in this Section 10. 
 11. Withdrawal. (a) A Participant may
withdraw all but not less than all the Contributions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by (i) submitting to the Company’s stock administration office (or its designee)
a written notice of withdrawal in the form determined by the Administrator for such purpose or (ii) following an electronic or other withdrawal procedure determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may
establish a reasonable deadline (such as two weeks prior to the Purchase Date) by which time withdrawals must be submitted in order for the Participant to avoid automatic exercise of his or her option on the Purchase Date (unless the Administrator
in its sole discretion elects to process the withdrawal more quickly or as may be required by Applicable Laws). All of the Participant’s Contributions 

  
 10 

 
credited to his or her account and not applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be paid to such Participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such
Participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions for the purchase of shares will be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, Contributions will
not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period, unless the Participant re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof. 

(b) A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect on his or her eligibility to participate in any similar
plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods that commence after the termination of the Purchase Period from which the Participant withdraws. 

12. Termination and Transfer of Employment. (a) Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason
(including by reason of the Participant’s Employer ceasing to be a Designated Company or by reason of Participant’s transfer of employment to an Affiliate that is not a Designated Company), he or she will be deemed to have elected to
withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be returned to such Participant or, in the case of his or her
death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, and such Participant’s option will be automatically terminated. 

(b) Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, a Participant whose employment transfers between entities through a termination with an
immediate rehire (with no break in service) by the Company or a Designated Company will not be treated as terminated under the Plan; provided, however, that if a Participant transfers from an Offering under the 423 Component to the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the option will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent it complies with Section 423 of the Code, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator. If a
Participant transfers from an Offering under the Non-423 Component to an Offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the option will remain non-qualified under the
Non-423 Component. The Administrator may establish additional or different rules governing employment transfers. 

13. Interest. No interest will accrue on the Contributions of a participant in the Plan, except as may be required by Applicable Laws,
as determined by the Company, and if so required by the laws of a particular jurisdiction, will apply to all Participants in the relevant Offering under the 423 Component. 

14. Administration. (a) The Plan will be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee will be
constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. Nothing in such appointment shall preclude the Board from itself taking any administrative action set forth herein, except where such action is required by Applicable Laws to be taken by a Committee. The
Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to delegate administrative duties to any of the Company’s employees, to designate separate Offerings under the Plan, to
designate Affiliates as participating in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component, to determine eligibility, to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan and to establish such procedures that it deems

  
 11 

 
necessary for the administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, to adopt such rules, procedures, sub-plans and appendices to the subscription
agreement as are necessary or appropriate to permit the participation in the Plan by employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside the U.S., the terms of which rules, procedures, sub-plans and
appendices may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 3(a) hereof, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such rules, procedures, sub-plans and
appendices, the provisions of this Plan will govern the operation of such rules, procedures, sub-plans or appendices). Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Eligible Employees eligible to
participate in each sub-plan will participate in a separate Offering or in the Non-423 Component. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is
specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of Contributions, making of Contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll
deductions and, further, including making any adjustments to correctly reflect a Participant’s elected percentage of payroll deductions or other payments), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest,
conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates that vary with applicable local requirements. The Administrator also is
authorized to determine that, with respect to the 423 Component, to the extent permitted by Section 1.423-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations, the terms of an option granted under the Plan or an Offering to
citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be less favorable than the terms of options granted under the Plan or the same Offering to employees resident solely in the U.S. Every finding, decision,
and determination made by the Administrator will, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. 
 (b) The
Administrator may delegate, on such terms and conditions as it determines in its sole and plenary discretion, to (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company who also serves as a member of the Board or (ii) one or more senior officers of
the Company, in each case, any or all of its authority under the Plan and all necessary and appropriate decisions and determinations with respect thereto. 

15. Designation of Beneficiary. (a) If permitted by the Administrator and subject to Applicable Laws, a Participant may file a
designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to a Purchase Date on which the option is
exercised but prior to delivery to such Participant of such shares and cash. In addition, if permitted by the Administrator, a Participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s account under
the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to exercise of the option. If a Participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent will be required for such designation to be effective. 

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by notice in a form determined by the Administrator. In the
event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company will deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator
of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 

  
 12 

 (c) All beneficiary designations will be in such form and manner as the Administrator may
designate from time to time. Notwithstanding Sections 15(a) and (b) hereof, the Company and/or the Administrator may decide not to permit such designations by Participants in non-U.S. jurisdictions
to the extent permitted by Section 1.423-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 16.
Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a Participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will be without effect, except that
the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 11 hereof. 
 17.
Use of Funds. The Company may use all Contributions received or held by it under the Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company will not be obligated to segregate such Contributions except under Offerings or for Participants in the Non-423 Component for which Applicable Laws require that Contributions to the Plan by Participants be segregated from the Company’s general corporate funds and/or deposited with an independent third party.
Until shares of Common Stock are issued, Participants will have only the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares. 
 18.
Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating Eligible Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of Contributions, the
Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 
 19. Adjustments, Dissolution,
Liquidation, or Change of Control. (a) Adjustments. In the event of any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization,
stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the
Company or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, shall,
in such manner as it shall deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Common Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan that has not yet
been exercised, and the numerical limits of Section 3 hereof and established pursuant to Sections 5(b) and 8 hereof. 

  
 13 

 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event a proposed dissolution or liquidation,
Change of Control or other similar transaction of the Company receives all requisite approvals under Applicable Laws, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a New Purchase Date, and will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, Change of Control or other similar transaction, as applicable, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Purchase Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed
dissolution or liquidation, Change of Control or other similar transaction, as applicable. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically, prior to the New Purchase Date, that the Purchase Date for the Participant’s
option has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Purchase Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in
Section 11 hereof. 
 20. Amendment or Termination. (a) The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or
terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase
of shares of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or may elect to permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms (and subject
to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19 hereof). If the Offering Periods are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to Participants’ accounts that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned
to the Participants (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required under Applicable Laws, as further set forth in Section 13 hereof) as soon as administratively practicable. 

(b) Without stockholder consent and without limiting Section 14(a) or Section 20(a) hereof, the Administrator will be entitled to
change the Offering Periods or Purchase Periods, designate separate Offerings, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency
other than U.S. dollars, permit Contributions in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed Contribution elections, establish reasonable waiting
and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with Contribution amounts, and establish such other limitations or
procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan. 
 (c) In the event the
Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify, amend or terminate the Plan to
reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to: 
 (i) amending the Plan to conform with the
safe harbor definition under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor thereto), including with respect to an Offering Period underway at the time; 

(ii) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period or Purchase Period, including an Offering Period or Purchase Period
underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price; 

  
 14 

 (iii) shortening any Offering Period or Purchase Period by setting a New
Purchase Date, including an Offering Period or Purchase Period underway at the time of the Administrator action; 
 (iv)
reducing the maximum percentage of Compensation a Participant may elect to set aside as Contributions; and 
 (v) reducing
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock a Participant may purchase during any Offering Period or Purchase Period. 
 Such modifications or amendments
will not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participants. 
 21. Notices. All notices or other communications by a
Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form and manner specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt
thereof. 
 22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. (a) Shares of Common Stock will not be issued with respect to an option
unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto will comply with all Applicable Law, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 

(b) As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option 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 by any of the
aforementioned applicable provisions of law. 
 23. Section 409A. Options granted under the 423 Component of the Plan are exempt from
the application of Section 409A and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so be exempt from Section 409A. Options granted under the Non-423 Component to U.S. taxpayers are intended to be
exempt from the application of Section 409A under the short-term deferral exception or compliant with Section 409A and any ambiguities will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. In furtherance of the foregoing and
notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that an option granted under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject
to Section 409A, the Administrator may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Administrator determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the
Participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding option or future option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such options to comply with Section 409A, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the
Administrator would not violate Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on such Participant or for such
Participant’s account in connection with option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or
otherwise hold such Participant harmless from any or all such taxes or penalties. The Company makes no representation that the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan is compliant with Section 409A. 

  
 15 

 24. Term of Plan. The Plan will become effective upon the later to occur of
(a) its adoption by the Board and (b) immediately prior to the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public
offering of Common Stock (such later date, the “Effective Date”). It will continue in effect for a term of 20 years, unless terminated earlier under Section 20 hereof.  

25. Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months after the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to obtain a stockholder approval required by any non-U.S. jurisdiction will not impair the validity of the Plan in any other jurisdiction. 
 26.
Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws
provisions thereof. 
 27. Severability. If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person, or would disqualify the Plan under any law deemed applicable by the Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the Applicable Laws, or if it cannot be
construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of the Plan, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction or Person and the remainder of the Plan shall
remain in full force and effect. 
 28. No Right to Continued Employment. Participation in the Plan by a Participant will not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may dismiss a Participant from employment at any time, free from any liability or any claim
under the Plan, unless otherwise required pursuant to Applicable Laws. 
 29. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The terms of this Plan
are intended to comply with all Applicable Laws and will be construed accordingly. 
 30. Headings and Construction. Headings are
given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. Whenever
the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in the Plan, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “but not limited to”, and the word “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive.
Pronouns and other words of gender shall be read as gender-neutral. Words importing the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. For the avoidance of doubt, where a term of the Plan is required by Section 423
of the Code, such term need not apply to the Non-423 Component of the Plan as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

UNDER THE VAXXINITY, INC. 

2021 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN 

All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan.

 1. Vesting, Exercisability and Termination. 

(a) No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested and become exercisable. 

(b) Except as set forth below, and subject to the determination of the Committee in its sole discretion to accelerate the vesting schedule
hereunder, this Stock Option shall be vested and exercisable on the respective dates indicated below: 
 (i) This Stock
Option shall initially be unvested and unexercisable. 
 (ii) This Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. 
 (c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the
Committee, if the Optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option will be subject to earlier termination as set forth below (and if not exercised within such period, shall thereafter
terminate subject, in each case, to Section 3(c) of the Plan): 
 (i) Termination Due to Death or Disability. If
the Optionee’s Service Relationship terminates by reason of such Optionee’s death or Disability, this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination, by the Optionee, the Optionee’s legal
representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or Disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. 

(ii) Other Termination. If the Optionee’s Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than death or
Disability, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of 90 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier;
provided however, if the Optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon the date of such termination. 

For purposes hereof, the Committee’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s Service Relationship shall be
conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of termination of the Service Relationship shall terminate immediately and be null and
void. 

  
 2 

 (d) It is understood and intended that this Stock Option is intended to qualify as an
“incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under applicable law. Accordingly, the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Code, no sale or other disposition may be made of Shares for which incentive stock option treatment is desired within the one-year period beginning on the day after the day of the
transfer of such Shares to him or her, nor within the two-year period beginning on the day after Grant Date of this Stock Option and further that this Stock Option must be exercised within three months after
termination of employment as an employee (or 12 months in the case of death or disability) to qualify as an incentive stock option. If the Optionee disposes (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any such Shares within either of these
periods, he or she will notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition. The Optionee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such dispositions required by the Company for tax purposes. Further, to the extent
this Stock Option and any other incentive stock options of the Optionee having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (determined as of the Grant Date) first become exercisable in any year, such options will not qualify as incentive
stock options. 
 2. Exercise of Stock Option. 

(a) The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: Prior to the Expiration Date, the Optionee may deliver a Stock
Option exercise notice (an “Exercise Notice”) in the form of Appendix A hereto indicating his or her election to purchase some or all of the Shares with respect to which this Stock Option is then exercisable. Such
notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the methods described in Section 5 of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in such Section of the Plan, including
the requirement that the Committee specifically approve in advance certain payment methods. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date. 
 3. Incorporation of Plan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan. 

4. Transferability of Stock Option. This Stock Option is personal to the Optionee and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Stock Option may be exercised during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee (or by the Optionee’s guardian or personal representative in the event of the
Optionee’s incapacity). The Optionee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation
or change with the Company; such beneficiary may exercise the Optionee’s Stock Option in the event of the Optionee’s death to the extent provided herein. If the Optionee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary
predeceases the Optionee, the legal representative of the Optionee may exercise this Stock Option to the extent provided herein in the event of the Optionee’s death. 

  
 3 

 5. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock
Option shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions and other limitations including, without limitation, the provisions contained in Section 9 of the Plan. 

6. Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. 

(b) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the
Company, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Stock Option or Shares
acquired pursuant thereto. 
 (c) Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor
shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Optionee. 

(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any
law other than the law of the State of Texas. 
 (e) Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject
matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (f)
Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof. 

(g) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered
personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Optionee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to
such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other. 
 (h) Benefit and Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled
to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment. 

  
 4 

 (i) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution,
this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document. 

(j) Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and supersedes
all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter. 
 7. Dispute Resolution. 

(a) Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Stock Option, this Agreement, or the breach,
termination or validity of the Plan, this Stock Option or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the
“J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place
of arbitration shall be a mutually agreed upon location in Dallas, Texas. 
 (b) The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date
on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition,
each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering
of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all
persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within
six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory
damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. 

(c) The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a
“Party”) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. 

  
 5 

 (d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States
District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any
review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given.
Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction. 

8. Waiver of Statutory Information Rights. The Optionee understands and agrees that, but for the waiver made herein, the Optionee would
be entitled, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts from, the Company’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and the
books and records of subsidiaries of the Company, if any, under the circumstances and in the manner provided in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (any and all such rights, and any and all such other rights of the Optionee
as may be provided for in Section 220, the “Inspection Rights”). In light of the foregoing, until the first sale of Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the Optionee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the Inspection Rights, whether such Inspection Rights would be exercised or pursued directly or indirectly pursuant to
Section 220 or otherwise, and covenants and agrees never to directly or indirectly commence, voluntarily aid in any way, prosecute, assign, transfer, or cause to be commenced any claim, action, cause of action, or other proceeding to pursue or
exercise the Inspection Rights. The foregoing waiver shall not affect any rights of a director, in his or her capacity as such, under Section 220. The foregoing waiver shall not apply to any contractual inspection rights of the Optionee under
any other written agreement between the Optionee and the Company.

 In connection with my exercise of the option as set forth above, I hereby represent and warrant to the Company

 (i) I am purchasing the Shares for my own account for investment only, and not for resale or with a view to
the distribution thereof.

the purchase of the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such purchase.

complete loss of the value of the Shares and am able to bear the economic risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period of time. 

(v) I understand that the Shares may not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (it being understood that the Shares
are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (or exemptions from the registration requirement thereof). I further acknowledge that certificates representing Shares
