Grant Date: ____________________________________

 

Exercise Price per Share: __________________________

 

Number of Option Shares: _________________________

 

Expiration Date: _________________________________

 

1. Grant
of Option.

 

1.1 Grant;
Type of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee an option (the “Option”) to purchase the
total number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company equal
to the number of Option Shares set forth above, at the Exercise Price set forth above.

 

2. Exercise
Period; Vesting.

 

2.1 Vesting
Schedule. The Option shall be fully vested as of the date hereof.

 

2.2 Expiration.
The Option will expire on the Expiration Date set forth above, or earlier as provided in this Agreement.

 

3. Manner
of Exercise.

 

3.1 Election
to Exercise. To exercise the Option, the Grantee (or in the case of exercise after the Grantee’s death or incapacity,
the Grantee’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed stock
option exercise notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”).

 

3.2 Payment
of Exercise Price. The entire Exercise Price of the Option shall be payable in full at the time of exercise to the extent
permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either:

 

(a) in
cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised;

 

(b) through
a “cashless exercise program” established with a broker;

 

(c) by
any combination of the foregoing methods; or

 

(d) in
any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Company.

 

3.3 Issuance
of Shares. Provided that the Exercise Notice and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the
Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock, registered in the name of the Grantee, the Grantee’s authorized assignee,
or the Grantee’s legal representative, and shall deliver certificates representing the shares with the appropriate legends
affixed thereto.

 

    -1-

     

    

 

4. Transferability.
The Option is not transferable by the Grantee other than to a designated beneficiary upon the Grantee’s death or by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime only by him or her. No assignment
or transfer of the Option, or the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise
(except to a designated beneficiary upon death or by will or the laws of descent or distribution) will vest in the assignee or
transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Option will terminate
and become of no further effect.

 

5. Adjustments.
If the Company, at any time while this Option is outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then
in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
this Option shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.

 

6. Compliance
with Law. The exercise of the Option and the issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance
by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements
of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock may be listed. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued
pursuant to this Option unless and until any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies have
been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The Grantee understands that the Company is under
no obligation to register the shares of Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission
or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

 

7. Notices.
Any notice required to be delivered to the Company under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Secretary of
the Company at the Company’s principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Grantee under this
Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as shown in the records of the Company.
Either party may designate another address in writing (or by such other method approved by the Company) from time to time.

 

8. Governing
Law. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without
regard to conflict of law principles.

 

9. Successors
and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein,
this Agreement will be binding upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s)
to whom the Option may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

 

    -2-

     

    

 

10. Severability.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, and each provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by
law.

 

11. Amendment.
The Company has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the Option, prospectively or retroactively; provided,
that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Grantee’s material rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s
consent.

 

12. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic
mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial
appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.

 

13. Acceptance.
The Grantee has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the Option subject to all of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of the Option or disposition
of the underlying shares and that the Grantee should consult a tax advisor prior to such exercise or disposition.
