3.1 Payment of Exercise Price. Subject to the terms hereof, the purchase rights represented by this Option are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, by the surrender of this Option and the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price in full (i) in cash or by bank or certified check for the Shares with respect to which this Option is exercised; (ii) by delivery to the Company of shares of the Company’s Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (as defined below) equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased which Holder is the record and beneficial owner of and which have been held by the Holder for at least six (6) months; provided, however, that such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law; (iii) if the sale of the Shares is covered by an effective registration statement, by delivering to the Company a Notice of Exercise together with an irrevocable direction to a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to sell a sufficient portion of the Shares and deliver the sales proceeds directly to the Company to pay the Exercise Price; (iv) by reducing the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock otherwise issuable under this Option to Holder upon the exercise of the Option by a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such aggregated exercise price; provided, however, that such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law; or (v) by any combination of the procedures set forth in subsections (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 3.1.

3.2 Fair Market Value. If previously owned shares of Common Stock are tendered as payment of the Exercise Price, the value of such shares shall be the “Fair Market Value” of such shares on the trading date immediately preceding the date of exercise. For the purpose of this Agreement, the “Fair Market Value” shall be:

(a) If the Common Stock is admitted to trading on a United States securities exchange, the Fair Market Value on any date shall be the closing price reported for the Common Stock on such exchange or system for such date or, if no sales were reported for such date, for the last day preceding such date for which a sale was reported;

2

(c) If the Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and not on any national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the mean between the last bid and ask prices per share, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or an equivalent generally accepted reporting service, or if not so reported, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for a share as furnished to the Company by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., selected by the Company for that purpose; or

(d) If the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock cannot be determined on the basis previously set forth in this definition on the date that the Fair Market Value is to be determined, the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith and in its sole discretion determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on such date.

If the tender of previously owned shares would result in an issuance of a whole number of Shares and a fractional Share of Common Stock, the value of such fractional share shall be paid to the Company in cash or by check by the Holder.

3.3 Termination of Employment or Service; Death.

(a) If Holder’s employment or services are terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause (as defined below), this Option may be exercised only within six (6) months after the termination of employment or cessation of service and prior to the Option Termination Date.

(b) If Holder’s employment or services are terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below), then this Option shall forthwith terminate.

For purposes of this Option, the term “Cause” shall include, but not be limited to, any one or more of the following:

(i) A determination by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in its sole discretion of material misconduct or gross or willful neglect by the Holder of the duties that the Holder is required to perform under the terms of the Employment Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between the Holder and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”);

(ii) a determination by the Board in its sole discretion that the Holder has performed an act constituting a felony, or a misdemeanor involving the property or operations of the Company, or a crime involving moral turpitude, or the commission of any other act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud;

(iii) a determination by the Board, in its sole discretion, of conduct by the Holder tending to bring the Company into public disgrace or disrepute;

(iv) a failure to cure the Holder’s failure to perform his duties in a competent manner as reasonably directed by the Board within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Holder of such failure to perform; and

3

(v) an unauthorized disclosure by the Holder of the Company’s Confidential Information (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

(c) If Holder shall die while employed by or providing services to the Company and prior to the Option Termination Date, this Option may be exercised only within two (2) years after Holder’s death, prior to the Option Termination Date, and only by the Holder’s personal representative or persons entitled thereto under the Holder’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(d) This Option may not be exercised for more Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereof) after the termination of the Holder’s employment, cessation of services to the Company, or death, as the case may be, than the Holder was entitled to purchase thereunder at the time of the termination of the Holder’s employment, the cessation of services to the Company, or death. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of this Option which is unvested as of the date of the termination of the Holder’s employment, cessation of services to the Company, or death shall remain unvested and never vest.

3.4 Exercise Date; Delivery of Certificates. This Option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Option is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Option of like tenor exercisable for the number of shares for which this Option may then be exercised.

4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Option. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

5. Replacement of Option. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Option and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Option, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Option, a new Option of like tenor and amount.

6. Rights of Stockholder. Except as otherwise contemplated herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or

4

withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Option shall have been exercised as provided herein.

7. Transfer of Option.

7.1. Non-Transferability. This Option shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way, nor subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of an execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect.

7.2. Compliance with Securities Laws; Restrictions on Transfers. In addition to restrictions on transfer of this Option and Shares set forth in Section 7.1 above.

(a) The Holder of this Option, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Option and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment (unless such shares are subject to resale pursuant to an effective prospectus), and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of applicable federal and state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Option, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Shares of Common Stock so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment (unless such shares are subject to resale pursuant to an effective prospectus), and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

(b) Neither this Option nor any share of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Option may be offered for sale or sold, or otherwise transferred or sold in any transaction which would constitute a sale thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act, unless (i) such security has been registered for sale under the 1933 Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws relating to the offer and sale of securities; or (ii) exemptions from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and the registration or qualification requirements of all such state securities laws are available and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel that the proposed sale or other disposition of such securities may be effected without registration under the 1933 Act and would not result in any violation of any applicable state securities laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale, such counsel and such opinion to be satisfactory to the Company. The Holder of this Option, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission to register the issuance of the Shares upon exercise hereof or the sale or transfer of the Shares after issuance.

(c) All Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws).

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY THE REGISTERED OWNER FOR INVESTMENT, AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO RESALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

(d) Holder recognizes that investing in the Option and the Shares involves a high degree of risk, and Holder is in a financial position to hold the Option and the Shares indefinitely and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a complete loss of its investment in the Option and the Shares. The Holder is a sophisticated investor and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Company. The Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management, has been given full and complete access to information concerning the Company, and has utilized such access to its satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information or verifying information and has had the opportunity to inspect the Company’s operation. Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the management of the Company (and any person acting on its behalf) concerning the Option and the Shares and the agreements and transactions contemplated hereby, and to obtain any additional information as Holder may have requested in making its investment decision.

(e) Holder acknowledges and represents: (i) that he has been afforded the opportunity to review and is familiar with the business prospects and finances of the Company and has based his decision to invest solely on the information contained therein and has not been furnished with any other literature, prospectus or other information except as included in such reports; (ii) Holder is acquiring the Options and Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view toward distribution; (iii) he understands that no federal or state agency has approved or disapproved the Option or Shares or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the Option and Common Stock for investment; and (iv) that the Company has made no representations, warranties, or assurances as to (A) the future trading value of the Common Stock, (B) whether there will be a public market for the resale of the Common Stock or (C) the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission to register the issuance of the Shares upon exercise hereof or the sale or transfer of the Shares after issuance.

8. Reservation and Issuance of Stock; Payment of Taxes.

(a) The Company covenants that during the term that this Option is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of this Option, and from time to time will take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Option.

6

(b) The Company further covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the due exercise of this Option will be free and clear from all taxes or liens, charges and security interests created by the Company with respect to the issuance thereof, however, the Company shall not be obligated or liable for the payment of any taxes, liens or charges of Holder, or any other party contemplated by Section 7, incurred in connection with the issuance of this Option or the Common Stock upon the due exercise of this Option. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Option shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Option. The Common Stock issuable upon the due exercise of this Option, will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(c) Upon exercise of the Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate for Shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Option, if in the opinion of counsel to the Company such withholding is required under applicable tax laws.

(d) If Holder is obligated to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable tax withholding requirements may pay such amount (i) in cash; (ii) in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, through the delivery to the Company of previously-owned shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the tax obligation provided that the previously owned shares delivered in satisfaction of the withholding obligations must have been held by the Holder for at least six (6) months; (iii) in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, through the withholding of Shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Holder in connection with the Option exercise; or (iv) in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, through a combination of the procedures set forth in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 8(d).

9. Notices.
