THE 2007 EQUITY PARTICIPATION PLAN
OF IDCENTRIX, INC.
FORM OF
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 9, 2009 (“Date of Grant”), between iDcentrix, Inc. (“iDcentrix”) and Francine Dubois (the “Participant”).

BACKGROUND

Pursuant to the terms of The 2007 Equity Participation Plan of iDcentrix, Inc., as amended (the “Plan”), iDcentrix desires to (a) provide an incentive to the Participant, (b) encourage the Participant to contribute materially to the growth of iDcentrix and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and (c) more closely align the Participant’s economic interests with those of iDcentrix stockholders by means of a Non-Qualified Stock Option Award.  Whenever capitalized terms are used in this Agreement, they shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement or, if not defined in this Agreement, as set forth in the Plan.

The Plan allows the Company to provide rewards and incentives to certain employees of the Company by, among other things, granting them opportunities to purchase shares of Common Stock.  The Committee has determined that in consideration of the Participant’s agreement to reduce her base salary by twenty percent (20%) for one year, provided that if the Company receives funding of at least $1 Million prior to June 30, 2009,  the reduction in the Participant’s base salary shall be eliminated effective as of July 1, 2009 it would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to grant the Options to the Participant under the Plan.

In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Participant and iDcentrix hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

GRANT OF OPTIONS
 
1.1           Grant of Options.  The Participant is hereby granted Non-Qualified Stock Options representing the right to purchase 94,000 shares of Common Stock (i) in consideration of the Participant’s agreement to reduce her base salary by twenty percent (20%) commencing December 16, 2008 through December 15, 2009, provided that if the Company receives funding of at least $1 Million (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) (a) on or prior to June 30, 2009,  the reduction in the Participant’s base salary shall be eliminated on a prospective basis only effective as of July 1, 2009 or (b) after June 30, 2009 but prior to December 15, 2009, the reduction in the Participant’s base salary shall be eliminated on a prospective basis only effective as of the date the Company receives such funding and (ii) subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  References in this Agreement to “Option” and “Options” mean the options granted hereby, individually and in the aggregate.


1.2           Option Price.  The price per share of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option is $0.12 (the “Option Price”), which is the same as the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

1.3           Grant Information.  The Options have been granted under the Plan.  The Committee authorized the grant of the Options on the Date of Grant.


ARTICLE 2

(a)           transferability may be subject to pre-clearance, blackout, registration and other requirements and restrictions under the Company’s insider trading and other compliance policies and procedures; and

(b)           transfers by executive officers should be reviewed in advance to determine if there would be any potential liability for short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

2.1           Time Vesting.  If not sooner vested pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 and unless previously forfeited pursuant to Section 2.5, all of the Options shall vest based on the passage of time according to the following vesting schedule:

Number of Shares
 
Vesting Date
 94,000
 July 1, 2009

If an Option in respect of a partial share of Common Stock would vest on any date, the total number of Options vesting on such date shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, calculated on a cumulative basis.

2.2           Accelerated Vesting.  If not sooner vested and exercisable, and unless previously cancelled pursuant to Section 2.5 or 4.2, all of the Options shall vest and become immediately exercisable upon a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 5.1) within one year following a Corporate Transaction.
