AETHLON MEDICAL,
INC.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(AMENDED 2010 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN)

 

Pursuant
to the Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”),
Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the “Company”)  has awarded you (“Participant”) Stock
Units (“Stock Units” or the “Award”) pursuant to the Company's Amended 2010
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of Stock Units indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized
terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or the Grant Notice shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan. The
terms of your Stock Units, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, are as follows.

 

1.
       GRANT OF THE A WARD. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date one (1) share of Common Stock for each
Stock Unit that vests on the applicable vesting date(s) (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 below) as indicated in the
Grant Notice. This Award was granted in consideration of your past or expected future services to the Company or its affiliates.

 

 2.        VESTING AND ACCELERATION.

 

(a)              
Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Stock Units will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule
provided in the Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon your Termination. Upon such Termination, the Stock Units that
were not vested on the date of such termination will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right,
title or interest in or to the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the forfeited Stock Units.

 

(b)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute Awards following
a corporate transaction (as described in Section 20.1 of the Plan), the vesting of any then-unvested Stock Units shall accelerate
in full such that 100% of the then unvested Stock Units will become vested upon a corporate transaction described in Section 20.1
of the Plan.

 

3.          NUMBER
OF SHARES. The number of Stock Units/shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 3
and 20 of the Plan. Any additional Stock Units, shares, cash or other property that becomes subject to the Award pursuant to this
Section 3, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on
transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Stock Units and shares covered by your Award. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant
to this Section 3. Fractions of a share will not be issued but will either be replaced by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market
Value of such fraction of a share or will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, as determined by the Committee.

 

 

 

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

 

4.           SECURITIES
LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any Common Stock under your Award unless the shares of Common Stock underlying the Stock
Units are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company has determined
that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with
other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such Common Stock if the Company determines
that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

 

5.           NON-TRANSFERABILITY.
Prior to the time that shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise
dispose of the Stock Units or the shares issuable in respect of your Stock Units, except as expressly provided in this Section
5. For example, you may not use shares that may be issued in respect of your Stock Units as security for a loan. The restrictions
on transfer set forth herein will lapse upon delivery to you of shares in respect of your vested Stock Units.

 

(a)              
Death. Your Award is transferable by will and by the laws of descent and distribution. At your death, vesting of
your Stock Units will cease and your executor or administrator of your estate shall be entitled to receive, on behalf of your
estate, any Common Stock or other consideration that vested but was not issued before your death.

 

(b)             
Domestic Relations Orders. Upon receiving written permission from the Board or its duly authorized designee, and
provided that you and the designated transferee enter into transfer and other agreements required by the Company, you may transfer
your Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of your Stock Units pursuant to a domestic relations order
or marital settlement agreement that contains the information required by the Company to effectuate the transfer. You are encouraged
to discuss the proposed terms of any division of this Award with the Company prior to finalizing the domestic relations order
or marital settlement agreement to verify that you may make such transfer, and if so, to help ensure the required information
is contained within the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement.

 

 6.          DATE OF ISSUANCE.

 

(a)             
The issuance of shares in respect of the Stock Units is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and will be construed and administered in such a manner. Subject to the satisfaction of the withholding obligations
set forth in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions contained in the Grant Notice, in the event one or more Stock Units
vests, the Company shall issue to you one (1) share of Common Stock for each Stock Unit that vests on the applicable vesting date(s)
(subject to any adjustment under Section 3 above). The issuance date determined by this paragraph is referred to as the “Original
Issuance Date.”

 

(b)              
If the Original Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, delivery shall instead occur on the next following
business day. In addition, if:

 

 

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(i)               
the Original· Issuance Date does not occur (1) during
an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company's then-effective
policy on trading in Company securities, or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on an
established stock exchange or stock market, and

 

(ii)             
either (1) Withholding Taxes do not apply, or (2) the
Company decides, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (A) not to satisfy the Withholding Taxes by withholding shares of Common
Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award, and (B) not to permit you to pay
your Withholding Taxes in cash,

 

then
the shares that would otherwise be issued to you on the Original Issuance Date will not be delivered on such Original Issuance
Date and will instead be delivered on the first business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company's Common
Stock in the open public market, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the Original Issuance Date
occurs (that is, the last day of your taxable year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs), or, if and only if permitted
in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), no later than the date that is the 15th day of the
third calendar month of the applicable year following the year in which the shares of Common Stock under this Award are no longer
subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(d).

 

(c)              
The form of delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined
by the Company.

 

7.           DIVIDENDS.
You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution
that does not result from an adjustment of shares as described in Section 3 of the Plan.

 

8.           RESTRICTIVE
LEGENDS. The shares of Common Stock issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends as determined by the
Company.

 

9.           EXECUTION
OF DOCUMENTS. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the manner selected by the Company by which you indicate your consent
to your Grant Notice is also deemed to be your execution of your Grant Notice and of this Agreement. You further agree that such
manner of indicating consent may be relied upon as your signature for establishing your execution of any documents to be executed
in the future in connection with your Award.

 

10.        AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.

 

(a)              
Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your Stock Units or the issuance of the shares
subject to your Stock Units), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement
or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an affiliate;
(ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future
work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit
under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan;
or (iv) deprive the Company of the right to terminate you at will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you
may have.

 

 

 

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(b)               The
Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or affiliates at
any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). Such a reorganization
could result in your Termination, or the termination of affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits available
to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the
Award. This Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein or any
covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied
promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and
shall not interfere in any way with the Company's right to conduct a reorganization.

 

 11.        WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

 

(a)              
On each vesting date, and on or before the time you receive a distribution of the shares underlying your Stock Units, and
at any other time as reasonably requested by the Company in accordance with applicable tax laws, you hereby authorize any required
withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required
to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any affiliate that arise in connection
with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”). Additionally, the Company or any affiliate may, in its sole
discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation relating to your Stock Units by any of the following
means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; (ii) causing
you to tender a cash payment; (iii) permitting or requiring you to enter into a "same day sale" commitment, if applicable,
with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”)
whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered in connection with your Stock Units to satisfy the
Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding
Taxes directly to the Company and/or its affiliates; or (iv) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock
issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common
Stock are issued to pursuant to Section 6) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number
of such shares of Common Stock so withheld will not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company's required tax withholding
obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll
taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income; and provided, further, that to the extent necessary to qualify
for an exemption from application of Section I 6(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such share withholding procedure will
be subject to the express prior approval of the Committee.

 

(b)              
Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation
to deliver to you any Common Stock.

 

(c)
              In the event the Company's obligation
to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you
that the amount of the Company's withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify
and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.

 

 

 

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

12.         TAX
CONSEQUENCES. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to you of this Award and shall not be
liable to you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this Award. You are hereby advised to consult
with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this Award and by signing the Grant
Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. You understand that you (and not
the Company) shall be responsible for your own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

 

13.        UNSECURED
OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of vested Stock Units, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of
the Company with respect to the Company's obligation, if any, to issue shares or other property pursuant to this Agreement. You
shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to
this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain
full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant
to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the
Company or any other person.

 

14.         NOTICES. Any

as of the date of your "separation from service" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and
without regard to any alternative definition thereunder), then the issuance of any shares that would otherwise be made upon
the date of the separation from service or within the first six (6) months thereafter will not be made on i the
originally scheduled date(s) and will instead be issued in a lump sum on the date that is six (6) months and one day after
the date of the separation from service, with the balance of the shares issued thereafter in accordance with the
original vesting and issuance schedule set forth above, but if and only if such delay in the issuance of the shares is
necessary to avoid the imposition of adverse taxation on you in respect of the shares under Section 409A of the Code. Each
installment of shares that vests is intended to constitute a "separate payment" for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

AETHLON MEDICAL,
INC.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(AMENDED 2010 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN)

 

Pursuant
to the Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”),
Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the “Company”)  has awarded you (“Participant”) Stock
Units (“Stock Units” or the “Award”) pursuant to the Company's Amended 2010
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of Stock Units indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized
terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or the Grant Notice shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan. The
terms of your Stock Units, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, are as follows.

 

1.
       GRANT OF THE A WARD. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date one (1) share of Common Stock for each
Stock Unit that vests on the applicable vesting date(s) (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 below) as indicated in the
Grant Notice. This Award was granted in consideration of your past or expected future services to the Company or its affiliates.

 

 2.        VESTING AND ACCELERATION.

 

(a)              
Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Stock Units will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule
provided in the Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon your Termination. Upon such Termination, the Stock Units that
were not vested on the date of such termination will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right,
title or interest in or to the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the forfeited Stock Units.

 

(b)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute Awards following
a corporate transaction (as described in Section 20.1 of the Plan), the vesting of any then-unvested Stock Units shall accelerate
in full such that 100% of the then unvested Stock Units will become vested upon a corporate transaction described in Section 20.1
of the Plan.

 

3.          NUMBER
OF SHARES. The number of Stock Units/shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 3
and 20 of the Plan. Any additional Stock Units, shares, cash or other property that becomes subject to the Award pursuant to this
Section 3, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on
transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Stock Units and shares covered by your Award. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant
to this Section 3. Fractions of a share will not be issued but will either be replaced by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market
Value of such fraction of a share or will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, as determined by the Committee.

 

 

 

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

 

4.           SECURITIES
LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any Common Stock under your Award unless the shares of Common Stock underlying the Stock
Units are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company has determined
that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with
other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such Common Stock if the Company determines
that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

 

5.           NON-TRANSFERABILITY.
Prior to the time that shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise
dispose of the Stock Units or the shares issuable in respect of your Stock Units, except as expressly provided in this Section
5. For example, you may not use shares that may be issued in respect of your Stock Units as security for a loan. The restrictions
on transfer set forth herein will lapse upon delivery to you of shares in respect of your vested Stock Units.

 

(a)              
Death. Your Award is transferable by will and by the laws of descent and distribution. At your death, vesting of
your Stock Units will cease and your executor or administrator of your estate shall be entitled to receive, on behalf of your
estate, any Common Stock or other consideration that vested but was not issued before your death.

 

(b)             
Domestic Relations Orders. Upon receiving written permission from the Board or its duly authorized designee, and
provided that you and the designated transferee enter into transfer and other agreements required by the Company, you may transfer
your Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of your Stock Units pursuant to a domestic relations order
or marital settlement agreement that contains the information required by the Company to effectuate the transfer. You are encouraged
to discuss the proposed terms of any division of this Award with the Company prior to finalizing the domestic relations order
or marital settlement agreement to verify that you may make such transfer, and if so, to help ensure the required information
is contained within the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement.

 

 6.          DATE OF ISSUANCE.

 

(a)             
The issuance of shares in respect of the Stock Units is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and will be construed and administered in such a manner. Subject to the satisfaction of the withholding obligations
set forth in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions contained in the Grant Notice, in the event one or more Stock Units
vests, the Company shall issue to you one (1) share of Common Stock for each Stock Unit that vests on the applicable vesting date(s)
(subject to any adjustment under Section 3 above). The issuance date determined by this paragraph is referred to as the “Original
Issuance Date.”

 

(b)              
If the Original Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, delivery shall instead occur on the next following
business day. In addition, if:

 

 

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(i)               
the Original· Issuance Date does not occur (1) during
an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company's then-effective
policy on trading in Company securities, or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on an
established stock exchange or stock market, and

 

(ii)             
either (1) Withholding Taxes do not apply, or (2) the
Company decides, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (A) not to satisfy the Withholding Taxes by withholding shares of Common
Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award, and (B) not to permit you to pay
your Withholding Taxes in cash,

 

then
the shares that would otherwise be issued to you on the Original Issuance Date will not be delivered on such Original Issuance
Date and will instead be delivered on the first business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company's Common
Stock in the open public market, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the Original Issuance Date
occurs (that is, the last day of your taxable year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs), or, if and only if permitted
in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), no later than the date that is the 15th day of the
third calendar month of the applicable year following the year in which the shares of Common Stock under this Award are no longer
subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(d).

 

(c)              
The form of delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined
by the Company.

 

7.           DIVIDENDS.
You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution
that does not result from an adjustment of shares as described in Section 3 of the Plan.

 

8.           RESTRICTIVE
LEGENDS. The shares of Common Stock issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends as determined by the
Company.

 

9.           EXECUTION
OF DOCUMENTS. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the manner selected by the Company by which you indicate your consent
to your Grant Notice is also deemed to be your execution of your Grant Notice and of this Agreement. You further agree that such
manner of indicating consent may be relied upon as your signature for establishing your execution of any documents to be executed
in the future in connection with your Award.

 

10.        AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.

 

(a)              
Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your Stock Units or the issuance of the shares
subject to your Stock Units), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement
or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an affiliate;
(ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future
work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit
under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan;
or (iv) deprive the Company of the right to terminate you at will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you
may have.

 

 

 

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(b)               The
Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or affiliates at
any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). Such a reorganization
could result in your Termination, or the termination of affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits available
to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the
Award. This Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein or any
covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied
promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and
shall not interfere in any way with the Company's right to conduct a reorganization.

 

 11.        WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

 

(a)              
On each vesting date, and on or before the time you receive a distribution of the shares underlying your Stock Units, and
at any other time as reasonably requested by the Company in accordance with applicable tax laws, you hereby authorize any required
withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required
to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any affiliate that arise in connection
with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”). Additionally, the Company or any affiliate may, in its sole
discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation relating to your Stock Units by any of the following
means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; (ii) causing
you to tender a cash payment; (iii) permitting or requiring you to enter into a "same day sale" commitment, if applicable,
with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”)
whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered in connection with your Stock Units to satisfy the
Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding
Taxes directly to the Company and/or its affiliates; or (iv) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock
issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common
Stock are issued to pursuant to Section 6) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number
of such shares of Common Stock so withheld will not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company's required tax withholding
obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll
taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income; and provided, further, that to the extent necessary to qualify
for an exemption from application of Section I 6(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such share withholding procedure will
be subject to the express prior approval of the Committee.

 

(b)              
Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation
to deliver to you any Common Stock.

 

(c)
              In the event the Company's obligation
to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you
that the amount of the Company's withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify
and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.

12.         TAX
CONSEQUENCES. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to you of this Award and shall not be
liable to you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this Award. You are hereby advised to consult
with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this Award and by signing the Grant
Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. You understand that you (and not
the Company) shall be responsible for your own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

 

13.        UNSECURED
OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of vested Stock Units, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of
the Company with respect to the Company's obligation, if any, to issue shares or other property pursuant to this Agreement. You
shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to
this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain
full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant
to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the
Company or any other person.

as of the date of your "separation from service" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and
without regard to any alternative definition thereunder), then the issuance of any shares that would otherwise be made upon
the date of the separation from service or within the first six (6) months thereafter will not be made on i the
originally scheduled date(s) and will instead be issued in a lump sum on the date that is six (6) months and one day after
the date of the separation from service, with the balance of the shares issued thereafter in accordance with the
original vesting and issuance schedule set forth above, but if and only if such delay in the issuance of the shares is
necessary to avoid the imposition of adverse taxation on you in respect of the shares under Section 409A of the Code. Each
installment of shares that vests is intended to constitute a "separate payment" for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).
