2014 STOCK OPTION PLAN


STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


The attached Notice of Grant (the “Notice of Grant”) is expressly incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice of Grant, is made by and between PERPETUAL INDUSTRIES INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), and the Optionee set forth in the attached Notice of Grant. The term Optionee as used herein shall be deemed to include any successor to the Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless the context shall otherwise require.

BACKGROUND. Pursuant to the Corporation’s 2014 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), the Corporation, acting through the Administrator, approved the issuance to the Optionee of the option to purchase shares of Common Stock in the Corporation, upon the terms and conditions set forth hereinafter and in the Notice of Grant.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and undertakings hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.

Option; Option Price. On behalf of the Corporation, the Administrator hereby grants to the Optionee the Option set forth in the Notice of Grant to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated by reference herein and which in all cases shall control in the event of any conflict with the terms, definitions and provisions of this Agreement), that number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation set forth in the Notice of Grant, at an exercise price per share equal to the Option Price set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Optioned Shares”). A copy of the Plan as in effect on the date hereof has been supplied to the Optionee, and the Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt thereof.

2.

Term. The term (the “Option Term”) of the Option shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice of Grant, unless such Option shall theretofore have been terminated in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Grant, this Agreement or of the Plan.

3.

Time of Exercise. Shares may be purchased at any time thereafter prior to the expiration or termination of the Option.

4.

Procedure for Exercise.

(a)

The Option may be exercised in whole or in part but in any case in a quantity that is a multiple of 1,000 shares, by delivery of a written notice in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice”) from the Optionee to the Administrator, which Notice shall be completed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including without limitation the Plan’s sections 5, 6, and 7 and be accompanied by an amount and form of payment approved in advance by the Administrator.

(b)

The Corporation shall issue a Stock Certificate in the name of the Optionee, or such other person exercising the Option as permitted under the Plan’s section 6.4(d), for the Optioned Shares as soon as practicable after receipt of the Notice and payment. The Optionee may instruct that the shares be issued in the name of a designated entity of Optionee’s choice, subject to the approval of the Administrator, by so indicating in section 1 of the Notice.

(c)

The Option shall be exercisable only on such date or dates and during such period and for such number of shares of Common Stock as are set forth in this Agreement.

(d)

At the Administrator’s discretion further to the Plan’s section 5.2 and in any case upon the exercise of the Option at a time when there is not in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option, the Administrator may, as a condition to the exercise of the Option, require the Optionee (i) to execute an Investment Representation Statement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and (ii) to make such other representations and warranties as are deemed appropriate by counsel to the Corporation.

(e)

Stock Certificates representing shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of Options that have not been registered under the Securities Act shall, if required by the Administrator, bear an appropriate restrictive legend referring to the Securities Act. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered upon the exercise of the Option unless and until the Corporation and/or the Optionee shall have complied with all applicable Federal or state registration, listing and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction.

(f)

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan and subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and regulations, the Options shall be exercisable, in full or in part, at any time after vesting, until termination, provided that the Optionee shall be precluded from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of any Optioned Shares during the six months immediately following the grant of the Options, and shall be limited to a resale volume not exceeding 1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock in any three month period. If less than all of the Optioned Shares included in the vested portion of any Options are purchased, the remainder or a portion thereof may be purchased at any subsequent time prior to the Expiration Date. Only Optioned Shares in a multiple of 1,000 shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Options, and to the extent that any Option covers less than 1,000 Optioned Shares, it is not exercisable.

5.

Specific Performance. Optionee expressly agrees that the Corporation will be irreparably damaged if the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan are not specifically enforced. Upon a breach or threatened breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement or the Plan by the Optionee, the Corporation shall, in addition to all other remedies, be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage, and/or decree for specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof. The Administrator shall have the power to determine what constitutes a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the Plan. Any such determinations shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the Optionee.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT


OPTIONEE:

 

CORPORATION:  PERPETUAL INDUSTRIES INC.

SECURITY: Common Stock

AMOUNT:

 

DATE:

 

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Corporation the following:

(a)

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

(b)

The Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. The Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the Securities. The Optionee understands that the Stock Certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation and other legends required under the applicable state or federal securities laws.

(c)

Pursuant to section 5.2 of the 2014 Stock Option Plan and 4(d) of the Stock Option Agreement, the Optionee makes the following additional representations:
