WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Omega Protein Corporation 2006 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to encourage officers, employees, outside directors and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries to acquire or increase their ownership interest in the Company and to provide a means whereby they may develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success of the Company, and to encourage them to remain with and devote their best efforts to the business of the Company thereby advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Plan provides that such selected individuals may be granted a certain number of Options (as defined in the Plan) to purchase shares of the Common Stock, par value $.0l per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company to provide them with an ownership interest in the growth of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Optionee has been selected to receive such award;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the terms and conditions set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company grants Optionee an option (the “Option” or “Stock Option”) to purchase              full shares (the “Optioned Shares”) of Common Stock at an Option Price equal to $4.02 per share. The Date of Grant of this Stock Option is February 3, 2009. The “Option Period” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. The Stock Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

2. Subject to Plan. The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Stock Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Committee.

3. Vesting: Time of Exercise. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Stock Option shall be vested and exercisable as follows (it being understood that the right to purchase Option Shares shall be cumulative so that the Optionee may purchase on or after any such anniversary and

during the remainder of the Option Period those quantifies of Option Shares which the Optionee was entitled to purchase but did not purchase during any preceding period or periods):

4. Term; Forfeiture. In the event of Optionee’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries (whether voluntarily by the Optionee or involuntarily by the Company) (in either case, a “Termination of Employment”) for any reason other than for Cause or Optionee’s death or disability, the Option outstanding on such date of Termination of Employment, to the extent vested on such date, may be exercised by Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee’s subsequent death, by Optionee’s Heir (as defined below)) until the expiration of the Option Period, but not thereafter. In no event shall the Option be exercisable after the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. To the extent the Option is not vested on Optionee’s date of Termination of Employment, the Option shall automatically lapse and be canceled unexercised as of such date.

In the event that Optionee’s employment is terminated for Cause, any Option granted pursuant to this Agreement whether vested or unvested shall be forfeited upon the date that the Optionee’s Termination of Employment. Termination for “Cause” shall mean (i) the Employee’s final conviction of a felony crime that enriched the Employee at the expense of the Company; or (ii) the Employee has deliberately and intentionally refused to carry out his duties in gross dereliction of those duties and, after receiving written notice to such effect from the Company, has failed to cure the existing problem within five (5) days. For purposes of determining whether Cause has occurred, no act or failure to act on the part of the Employee shall be considered “deliberate and intentional” unless it is taken or omitted to be taken by the Employee in bad faith or without a reasonable belief by the Employee that the Employee’s act or omission was in the best interests of the Company. For the purposes the definition of Cause, the term “Company” includes Subsidiaries of the Company.

2

In the event of Optionee’s Termination of Employment by reason of death or disability, as defined by the Committee in its sole discretion pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Option shall be fully vested on such date of termination and may be exercised by Optionee or, in the event of Optionee’s death, by the person to whom Optionee’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution (“Heir”), at any time within the twelve (12) month period beginning on Optionee’s Termination of Employment, but not thereafter. However, in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.

5. Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Optionee, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Optionee, or by the Optionee’s guardian or personal or legal representative (in the event of his or her disability or by a broker dealer subject to Section 2.3 of the Plan).

6. No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

7. Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Committee or designated Company representative setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, the date of exercise thereof (the “Exercise Date”) which shall be at least three (3) days after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon. On the Exercise Date, the Optionee shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable to the Company in full in either: (i) in cash or its equivalent, or (ii) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its discretion, by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered must have been held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price), or (iii) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its discretion, by withholding Shares which otherwise would be acquired on exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price, or (iv) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its discretion, by a combination of (i), (ii), and (iii) above. Any payment in Shares shall be effected by the surrender of such Shares to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the Stock Option is exercised. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee in its discretion, the Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Option Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

The Committee, in its discretion, also may allow the Option Price to be paid with such other consideration as shall constitute lawful consideration for the issuance of Shares (including, without limitation, effecting a “cashless exercise” with a broker of the Option), subject to applicable securities law restrictions and tax withholdings, or by any other means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. A “cashless exercise” of an Option is a procedure by which a broker provides the funds to the Optionee to effect an Option exercise, to the extent consented to by the Committee in its discretion. At the direction of the Optionee, the broker will either (i) sell all of the Shares received when the

3

Option is exercised and pay the Optionee the proceeds of the sale (minus the Option Price, withholding taxes and any fees due to the broker) or (ii) sell enough of the Shares received upon exercise of the Option to cover the Option Price, withholding taxes and any fees due the broker and deliver to the Optionee (either directly or through the Company) a stock certificate for the remaining Shares.

As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to or on behalf of the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee or other appropriate recipient, Share certificates for the number of Shares purchased under the Option. Such delivery shall be effected for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to Optionee or other appropriate recipient.

If the Optionee fails to pay for any of the Shares specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, then the Option, and right to purchase such Shares may be forfeited by the Company.

8. Nonassignability. The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order that would qualify as a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, if such provision were applicable to the Stock Option and as otherwise permitted under Section 5.2 of the Plan.

9. Rights as Stockholder. The Optionee will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Stock Option until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Optionee for the Optioned Shares. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Plan regarding such Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates.

10. Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Plan.

11. Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Stock Option shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.

12. Community Property. Each spouse individually is bound by, and such spouse’s interest, if any, in any Shares is subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall create a community property interest where none otherwise exists.

13. Optionee’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Optionee hereby agrees that he will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Optionee hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or Company policies, or the rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that if he or she is an officer, director or key employee of the

4

Company, Optionee will be subject to the Company’s securities trading policy as it may be in effect from time to time and which may “black out” periods of time during which the Stock Option may not be exercised or which may also limit the amount of Shares that may be purchased or sold to a number that is less than requested by the Optionee. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Optionee are subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed and policies of the Company.

14. Investment Representation.

The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof.

16. Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Nevada law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this agreement to the laws of another state).

17. No Right to Continue Service or Employment. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Optionee the right to continue in the employ or to provide services to the Company, its Affiliates or any Parent or Subsidiary or their Affiliates, whether as an employee or as a consultant or as an Outside Director, or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or any of the other foregoing entities to discharge the Optionee as an employee, consultant or Outside Director at any time.

18. Legal Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

19. Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each of the covenants and agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Optionee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.
