If you are not a resident or citizen of the United States, the Company is not liable to you for any loss, damage or liability you may incur in your country of residence by participating in the Plan and receiving this Award.
2. | Vesting/Exercise/Expiration. |
The Employee or Consultant may not exercise the Option prior to each Vesting Date set forth above absent action by the Administrator to waive or alter such restrictions or as may be permitted under paragraphs 3, 4 or 5 below. Thereafter, except as hereinafter provided, the Employee or Consultant may exercise the Option, to the extent it is vested, at any time and from time to time until the close of business on the Expiration Date set forth above, subject, in the event of a Change in Control, to the Administrator’s exercise of its discretion under Section 9 of the Plan. The Option may be exercised to purchase any number of whole shares of Common Stock, except that no purchase shall be for less than ten (10) full shares, or the remaining unexercised shares, if less. Any Option is deemed to be “outstanding” until it has been exercised in full or expired pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3. | Forfeiture of Outstanding Options Following Termination of Service. |
Without limiting Sections 3(f)(ii)-(iv) of the Plan and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, your remaining rights to any Options pursuant to this Agreement, if any, shall immediately terminate if and when:
(a) | if you are an employee receiving Incentive Stock Options, during your employment with the Company, you voluntary quit or resign, or if you are terminated for Cause as determined by the Administrator, then your right to exercise your Incentive Stock Options shall terminate as of the date of you cease to be employed by the Company, subject to the right of the Administrator to extend the exercise period of this Incentive Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 3, “Cause” means any one or more of the following, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion: |
(1) | commission of a felony or any crime of moral turpitude; |
(ii) | dishonesty or material violation of standards of integrity in the course of fulfilling your employment duties to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary; |
(ii1) | material violation of a material written policy of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary violation of which is grounds for immediate termination; |
(iv) | willful and deliberate failure to perform your employment duties to the Company or any Parent |
or Subsidiary in any material respect, after reasonable notice of such failure and an opportunity to correct it; or
Page 2 of 6 (v) your failure to comply in any material respect with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the Truth in Negotiations Act, or any rules or regulations thereunder.
(b) | if you receive either Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, you violate any obligation that you may have to the Company during or after your employment or consultancy with the Company, including but not limited to any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, non-disparagement or other restrictive covenant, to which you have agreed either orally or in writing. |
4. | Exercise Process. |
An Option may be exercised by giving written notice to ElectroMedical Technologies, Inc., Attention: Plan Administrator, 16561 N 92" Street, Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 (or such other address as the Company may specify). Alternatively, the Company may designate one or more third parties to administer the Option exercise process and direct you accordingly. The exercise notice (a) shall be signed by you or (in the event of your death) your legal representative, (b) shall specify the number of full shares then elected to be purchased, and (c) shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased. Payment may be made in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company, and such payment shall include any tax withholding obligation, as set forth in Section 8 below. Alternatively, the Administrator may allow for one or more of the following methods of exercising an Option:
(a) | Payment for shares as to which an Option is being exercised and/or payment of any federal, state, local or other tax withholding obligations may be made by transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock you already own, or any combination of such shares and cash, having a fair market value determined at the time of exercise of the Option equal to, but not exceeding, the Exercise Price and/or the tax withholding obligation, as the case may be. |
(b) | A “same day sale” transaction pursuant to which a third party (engaged by your or the Company) loans funds to you to enable you to purchase the shares and pay any tax withholding obligations, and then sells a sufficient number of the exercised shares on your behalf to enable you to repay the loan and any fees. The remaining shares and/or cash are then delivered by the third party to you. |
(c) | A “net exercise” transaction, pursuant to which the Company delivers to you the net number of whole shares remaining from the portion of the Option being exercised after deduction of a number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price and a number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of any tax withholding obligations. |
As promptly as practicable after receipt of such notice and payment (including payment with respect to any tax withholding obligations), subject to Section 8 below, the Company shall cause to

The Company may refuse to deliver Common Stock if you, your beneficiary or legal representative fail to comply with your or its obligations under this Section.

The Company will use its best efforts to register the Option Shares on Form S-1 or such other form that is legally permissible.
