STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

PURSUANT TO 2006 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

Jeffrey Lawton (the “Optionee”) is hereby granted an option (the “Option”) to purchase shares of the Common Stock of Diametrics Medical, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to this Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Company’s 2006 Incentive Compensation Stock Option Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference.

1. TERMS OF GRANT.

“Date of Option Grant” means September 20, 2006.

“Option Shares” means 348,480 shares of Common Stock; $1.00 per share, of the Company.

“Exercise Price” means $0.7587 per share of Common Stock

“Option Expiration Date” means September 20, 2011.

2. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

2.1 Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.

2.2 Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

3. TAX CONSEQUENCES.

The Option is intended to constitute an “incentive stock option” as that term is used in Code Section 422. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of Option Shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and its subsidiaries exceeds $100,000, the options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options. It should be understood that there is no assurance that the Option will, in fact, be treated as an incentive stock option. The Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s own tax advisor regarding the tax effects of this Option (and any requirements necessary to obtain favorable income tax treatment under Code Section 422, including, but not limited to, holding period requirements). If the Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section 3, the Optionee may designate which portion of such Option the Optionee is exercising.

4. EXERCISE OF THE OPTION.

4.1 Right to Exercise. Except as otherwise provided herein, and prior to the termination of the Option (as provided in Section 6), the Option shall be exercisable; (i) on the date that is three months after its date of grant, for 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option on its date of grant, (ii) on the date that is six months after its date of grant, for an additional 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option on its date of grant, (iii) on the date that is nine months after its date of grant, for an additional 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option on its date of grant and (iv) on the date that is twelve months after its date of grant, for an additional 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option on its date of grant.

4.2 Method of Exercise. Exercise of the Option shall be by written notice to the Company in the form of Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee and must be delivered in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by confirmed facsimile transmission, or by such other means as the Company may permit, to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or other authorized representative of the Company, prior to the termination of the Option as set forth in Section 6, accompanied by full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Option Shares being purchased. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice and the aggregate Exercise Price.

4.3 Payment of Exercise Price.

(a) Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Option Shares for which the Option is being exercised shall be made (i) in cash, by check or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of whole Option Shares owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value not less than the aggregate Exercise Price (iii) by retention by the Company of that number of Options Shares (the “Retained Shares”) having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price for all Option Shares for which the Option is being exercised, so that the Optionee receives the number of Option Shares for which the Option is exercised less the Retained Shares or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing. If the Retained Shares include a fractional share, the Retained Shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

(b) Limitations on Forms of Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of Option Shares to the extent such tender, or attestation to the ownership, of Stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock. The Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

4.4 Tax Withholding. At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Optionee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Option, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any

2

Option Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, (iii) the operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. The Optionee is cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company are satisfied. Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares.

4.5 Certificate Registration. The certificate for the Option Shares as to which the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if applicable, the Optionee’s heirs.

4.6 Restrictions on Grant of the Option and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Option and the issuance of Option Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of Option Shares upon exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

4.7 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option.

5. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION AND OPTION SHARES.

The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 7, may be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

6. TERMINATION OF THE OPTION.

The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first to occur of (a) the Option Expiration Date or (b) the last date for exercising the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service as described in Section 7.

7. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

7.1 Option Exercisability.

(a) Disability. If the Optionee’s service to the Company (“Service”) is terminated because of the Disability of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of one year after the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (NOTE: If an Incentive Stock Option is exercised more than three (3) months after the date on

3

which the Optionee’s Service as an Employee terminated as a result of a Disability other than a permanent and total disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the Option will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option and not as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code.)

(b) Death. If the Optionee’s Service is terminated because of the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Optionee’ s death at any time prior to the expiration of one year after the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Optionee’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within thirty (30) days after the Optionee’s termination of Service (other than for Cause).

(c) Cause. If the Optionee’s Service is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service.

(d) Other Termination of Service. If the Optionee’s Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or for Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee within one year (or such other longer period of time as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion) after the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

7.2 Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.1 is prevented by the provisions of Section 4.6, the Option shall remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date the Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Company makes no representation as to the tax consequences of any such delayed exercise. The Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of any such delayed exercise.

7.3 Extension if Optionee Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.1 of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Optionee’s termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date. The Company makes no representation as to the tax consequences of any such delayed exercise. The Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of any such delayed exercise.

8. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.

The Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate for the shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in Optionee’s Service or interfere in any way with any right of the Company to terminate the Optionee’s Service at any time.

9. NOTICE OF SALES UPON DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION.

If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the Optionee shall comply with the provisions of this Section 9. The Optionee shall promptly notify the Chief Financial Officer of the Company if the Optionee disposes of any of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option within one (1) year after the date of the Optionee exercises all or part of the Option or within two (2) years after the Date of Grant. Until such time as the Optionee disposes of such shares in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly authorized by the Company, the Optionee shall hold all shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the Optionee’s name (and not in the name of any nominee) for the one-year period immediately after the exercise of the Option and the two-year period immediately after Date of Grant. At any time during the one-year or two-year periods set forth above, the Company may place a legend on any certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option requesting the transfer agent for the Company’s stock to notify the Company of any such transfers. The obligation of the Optionee to notify the Company of any such transfer shall continue notwithstanding that a legend has been placed on the certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence.

10. LEGENDS.

The Company may at any time place legends referencing the this Agreement and any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing Option Shares subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing Option Shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 10. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

10.2 “THE TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, MORTGAGE, HYPOTHECATION, ENCUMBRANCE, GIFT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED BY A STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY.”

10.3 If Option Shares are issued with respect to an Incentive Stock Option: “THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED BY THE COMPANY TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER UPON EXERCISE OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 422 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (“ISO”).”

11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE OPTIONEE.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

[This form is to be completed at the time option is exercised,

unless stock is publicly traded at that time.]

Effective as of                      [insert date of option exercise] (the “Effective Date”), the undersigned (“Optionee”) has elected to purchase              shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Diametrics Medical, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”) under and pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the Stock Option Agreement dated                      [insert grant date of option] (the “Option Terms”). The Optionee hereby makes the following certifications, representations, warranties and agreements with respect to the purchase of the Shares:

The Optionee acknowledges that he or she is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. The Optionee represents and warrants to the Company that he or she is acquiring these Shares for investment for the Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Optionee further acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, are deemed to constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 701 and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration and qualification is available. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares.

The Optionee further acknowledges that he or she is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, which Rules, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Optionee understands that if the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Optionee will not be able to resell the Shares under Rule 701 (i) until at least ninety (90) days after the Company became subject to such reporting requirements (or any longer stand-off period, as discussed below, may require) and (ii) unless such resale satisfies those provisions of Rule 144 that are specified in Rule 701(g)(3). Even if the Company is not subject to such reporting requirements, the Shares may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to satisfaction of all of the applicable provisions of Rule 144. The Optionee further acknowledges that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required in order to resell the Shares. The Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such registration will be made or any such exemption will be available in such event.

The Optionee further acknowledges and understands that all certificates representing any of the Shares shall have endorsed thereon appropriate legends reflecting the foregoing limitations, as well as any legends reflecting any other restrictions pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, the Option Terms, the Plan and/or applicable securities laws.

The Optionee further agrees that, if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”) in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, the Optionee shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during the 180-day period, or such other period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company (the “Market Standoff Period”), following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. Such restriction shall apply only to the first registration statement of the Company to

become effective under the Securities Act that includes securities to be sold on behalf of the Company to the public in an underwritten public offering under the Securities Act. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

The Optionee further acknowledge and agrees that the Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or other provisions contained in this Notice of Exercise or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
