be subject to the Award (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the
Award to the extent it is exercised for or settled in shares of Common Stock)
shall again be available for issuance in connection with future grants of Awards
under the Plan. In the event shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan are
reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture provision or right of
repurchase, such shares shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan;
provided, however, that the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the
exercise of Awards shall equal the share number provided for in Article 4.1,
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Articles 11.1 through

Related Company that the Plan Administrator selects from time to time. An Award
may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor
who provides services to the Company or any Related Company (a “Consultant
Participant”), so long as such Consultant Participant: (a) is a natural person;
(b) renders bona fide services that are not in connection with the offer and
sale of the Company's securities in a capital-raising transaction; and (c) does

deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as
the Plan Administrator shall determine. The Plan Administrator may permit or
require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to such rules and procedures
as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting
of interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into
deferred stock equivalents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 7.
AWARDS OF OPTIONS

7.1       Grant of Options

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to
grant Options to Participants as Incentive Stock Options or as Non-Qualified
Stock Options, which shall be appropriately designated.

7.2       Option Exercise Price

The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be as determined
by the Plan Administrator, provided that:

(a) the exercise price for Incentive Stock Options shall not be less than the
minimum exercise price required by Article 8.3, and

(b) the exercise price for Non-Qualified Stock Options shall not be less than
75% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date.

7.3       Term of Options

Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the
instrument evidencing the Option, the maximum term of an Option (the "Option
Term") shall be as established for that Option by the Plan Administrator or, if
not so established, shall be ten (10) years from the Grant Date.

7.4       Exercise of Options

The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that
evidences an Option the time at which, or the installments in which, the Option
shall vest and become exercisable, any of which provisions may be waived or
modified by the Plan Administrator at any time.

The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may adjust the vesting schedule
of an Option held by a Participant who works less than "full-time" as that term
is defined by the Plan Administrator or who takes a Company-approved leave of
absence.

To the extent an Option has vested and become exercisable, the Option may be
exercised in whole or from time to time in part by delivery to the Company of a
written stock option exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance
with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, setting forth the number
of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, the restrictions
imposed on the shares purchased under such exercise agreement, if any, and such
representations and agreements as may be required by the Plan Administrator,
accompanied by payment in full as described in Article 7.5. An Option may be
exercised only for whole shares and may not be exercised for less than a
reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Plan
Administrator.

7.5       Payment of Exercise Price

The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full to
the Company by the delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option
exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration must be
paid before the Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be
delivered in the form of a check or bank draft or other method of payment or
some combination thereof as may be acceptable to the Plan Administrator for that
purchase.

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

7.6       Post-Termination Exercises

The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth, in each instrument that
evidences an Option, whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable, and
the terms and conditions of such exercise, if the Participant ceases to be
employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or a Related Company, which
provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time.  If
not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be
exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived
or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time:

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article 7.6, any portion of an Option
that is not vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall
expire on such date.

(b) Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the Employment
Termination Date shall expire on the earliest to occur of:

  (i) if the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs by reason of
retirement, resignation or for any other reasons other than for Cause,
Disability or death, the day which is thirty (30) days after such Employment
Termination Date;

  (ii) if the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs by reason of
Disability or death, the day which is six (6) months after such Employment
Termination Date; and

  (iii) the last day of the Option Term (subsections (i) through (iii) being,
collectively, the "Option Expiration Date").

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant dies after his or her
Employment Termination Date, but while an Option is otherwise exercisable, the
portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable on such Employment
Termination Date shall expire upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the Option
Expiration Date, and (B) the day which is six (6) months after the date of
death, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.

  Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of termination of the
Participant's employment or service relationship for Cause, all Options granted
to that Participant shall automatically expire upon first notification to the
Participant of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines
otherwise. If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the
Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall
be terminated for Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option shall
likewise be suspended during the period of investigation. If any facts that
would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after the Participant's
relationship with the Company or a Related Company has ended, any Option then
held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Plan Administrator,
in its sole discretion.

(c) Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, upon a termination of
the Participant’s status as an employee, officer, director or Consultant of the
Company or any Related Company (the “Original Position”), other than a
termination for Cause, death or Disability, the Participant shall not be deemed
to have ceased to be employed by or to have ceased providing services to the
Company or any Related Company, provided that the Participant acts as an
employee, officer, director or Consultant of the Company or a Related Company
eligible to receive an Award under the provisions of Article 5, in another
capacity, immediately upon the termination of the Original Position.

(d) The effect of a Company-approved leave of absence on the application of this
Article 7 shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(e) If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company or a
Related Company terminates by reason of Disability or death, the Option shall
become fully vested and exercisable for all the shares subject to the Option.
Such Option shall remain exercisable for the time period set forth in this
Article 7.6.

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 8.
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and to the extent required by
Section 422 of the Code, Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the
following additional terms and conditions:

8.1       Dollar Limitation

To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant
Date) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year
(under the Plan and all other stock option plans of the Company) exceeds
$100,000, such excess shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. In the
event the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable by
the Participant for the first time in the same calendar year, such limitation
shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options were granted.

8.2       Eligible Employees

Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Participants that are individuals
employed by the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company and
may be granted only in connection with such individual Participant’s employment
with the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company.

8.3       Exercise Price

The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date, and in the case of
an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or of its
parent or subsidiary corporations (a "Ten Percent Stockholder"), shall not be
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date.
The determination of whether a Participant is a Ten Percent Stockholder shall be
made in accordance with Section 422 of the Code.

8.4       Notification of Sale of Common Stock

The Participant shall be required to promptly notify the Company of a sale of
Common Stock acquired by such Participant upon the exercise of Incentive Stock
Options if such sale occurs within either:

(a) two (2) years of the Grant Date of the particular Incentive Stock Options;
or

(b) one (1) year of after the date the Incentive Stock Option was exercised.

8.5       Meaning of “Parent Corporation” and “Subsidiary Corporation”

For the purposes of this Article 8, "parent corporation," "subsidiary
corporation" and "disability" shall have the meanings attributed to those terms
for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 9.
WITHHOLDING

9.1       General

The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any
taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or
foreign law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of any
Award. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock
under the Plan until any such withholding obligations are satisfied.

9.2       Payment of Withholding Obligations in Cash or Shares

The Plan Administrator may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or
part of his or her withholding obligations under Article 9.1 by: (a) paying cash
to the Company, (b) having the Company withhold from any cash amounts otherwise
due or to become due from the Company to the Participant, (c) having the Company
withhold a portion of any shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued
to the Participant having a value equal to the withholding obligations (up to
the employer's minimum required tax withholding rate), or (d) surrendering any
shares of Common Stock that the Participant previously acquired having a value
equal to the withholding obligations (up to the employer's minimum required tax
withholding rate to the extent the Participant has held the surrendered shares
for less than six months).

ARTICLE 10.
TRANSFERABILITY

10.1     Transfer Restrictions

Neither an Award nor any interest therein may be assigned, pledged or
transferred by the Participant or made subject to attachment or similar
proceedings other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution, and, during the Participant's lifetime, such Awards may be
exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the
extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock
Options, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit a
Participant to assign or transfer an Award or may permit a Participant to
designate a beneficiary who may exercise the Award or receive payment under the
Award after the Participant's death; provided, however, that any Award so
assigned or transferred shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the
Plan and those contained in the instrument evidencing the Award.

ARTICLE 11.
ADJUSTMENTS

11.1     Adjustment of Shares

In the event, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend, stock split,
spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend,
or other change in the Company's corporate or capital structure, including,
without limitation, a Related Party Transaction, results in: (a) the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in
their place, being exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the
Company or of any other corporation, or (b) new, different or additional
securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the
holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company, then the Plan Administrator
shall make proportional adjustments in: (i) the maximum number and kind of
securities subject to the Plan and issuable upon the exercise of Awards as set
forth in Article 4, and (ii) the number and kind of securities that are subject
to any outstanding Award and the per share price of such securities, without any
change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor. The determination by the Plan
Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be
conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or a Corporate Transaction shall not be governed by
this Article 11.1 but shall be governed by Articles 11.2 and 11.3, respectively.

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

11.2     Dissolution or Liquidation

To the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless otherwise
determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, Awards shall
terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. To
the extent a forfeiture provision or repurchase right applicable to an Award has
not been waived by the Plan Administrator, the Award shall be forfeited
immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation.

11.3     Corporate Transaction

(a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, except as otherwise provided in the
instrument evidencing an Award (or in a written employment or services agreement
between a Participant and the Company or Related Company) and except as provided
in subsection (b) below, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an
equivalent option or right substituted by the surviving corporation, the
successor corporation or its parent corporation, as applicable (the "Successor
Corporation").

(b) If, in connection with a Corporate Transaction, the Successor Corporation
refuses to assume or substitute for an Award, then each such outstanding Award
shall become fully vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the unvested
portion of the Award. In such case, the Plan Administrator shall notify the
Participant in writing or electronically that the unvested portion of the Award
specified above shall be fully vested and exercisable for a specified time
period. At the expiration of such specified time period, the Award shall
terminate, provided that the Corporate Transaction has occurred.

(c) For the purposes of this Article 11.3, the Award shall be considered assumed
or substituted for if following the Corporate Transaction, the option or right
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject
to the Award immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration
(whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) that the Participant
would have been entitled to receive had the Participant exercised such Award
immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction becoming effective (and if
holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen
by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that
if such consideration that the Participant would have received is not solely
common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Plan Administrator may, with the
consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of the Award, for each share of Common Stock subject
thereto, to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation substantially
equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction as determined by the Plan
Administrator in its sole discretion.

(d) All Awards shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding immediately
following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the
Successor Corporation.

11.4     Further Adjustment of Awards

Subject to Articles 11.2 and 11.3, the Plan Administrator shall have the
discretion, exercisable at any time, including but not limited to, before a
sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control of
the Company, as defined by the Plan Administrator, to take such further action
as it determines to be necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable to the
Participants, with respect to Awards. Such authorized action may include (but
shall not be limited to) establishing, amending or waiving the type, terms,
conditions or duration of, or restrictions on, Awards so as to provide for
earlier, later, extended or additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions
and other modifications, and the Plan Administrator may take such actions with
respect to all Participants, to certain categories of Participants

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

or only to individual Participants, provided however, that the Plan
Administrator may not, without the express consent of the Participant holding
the Award; (i) provide for the earlier expiration of the Award; (ii) increase
the exercise price for an Award; or (iii) decrease the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to an Award. The Plan Administrator may take such action
before or after granting Awards to which the action relates and before or after
any public announcement with respect to any sale, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, liquidation, change of control or similar transaction that is
the reason for such action.

11.5     Limitations

The grant of Awards shall in no way affect the Company's right to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or
to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part
of its business or assets.

11.6     Fractional Shares

In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Award,
each such Award shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such
adjustment.

ARTICLE 12.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

12.1     Amendment or Termination of Plan

The Board may suspend, amend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at
any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however,
that, solely, to the extent required for compliance with Section 422 of the Code
with respect to any outstanding Incentive Stock Option or any applicable law or
regulation, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that would:
(a) increase the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan,
(b) modify the class of employees eligible to receive Awards, or (c) otherwise
require stockholder approval under any applicable law or regulation. Any
amendment made to the Plan that would constitute a "modification" to Incentive
Stock Options outstanding on the date of such amendment shall not, without the
consent of the Participant, be applicable to such outstanding Incentive Stock
Options but shall have prospective effect only.

12.2     Term of Plan

Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten (10)
years after the earlier of the Plan's adoption by the Board and approval by the
stockholders.

12.3     Consent of Participant

The suspension, amendment or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the
amendment of an outstanding Award shall not, without the Participant's consent,
materially adversely affect any rights under any Award theretofore granted to
the Participant under the Plan. Any change or adjustment to an outstanding
Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be
made in a manner so as to constitute a "modification" that would cause such
Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to
Article 11 shall not be subject to these restrictions.

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 13.
GENERAL

13.1     Evidence of Awards

Awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument that
shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Plan
Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Plan.

13.2     No Individual Rights

Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to
constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other
relationship with, the Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the
right of the Company or any Related Company to terminate a Participant's
employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause.

13.3     Issuance of Shares

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any written instrument
evidencing an Award, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver
any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of
benefits under the Plan unless the Plan Administrator determines, in its sole
and absolute discretion, acting in good faith, that such issuance, delivery or
distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without
limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable
requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.  The Company may
affix to any Awards or Common Stock issued pursuant to or under the Plan with
such restrictive legends as the Plan Administrator may determine, in its sole
and absolute discretion, to be necessary in order to ensure compliance with any
applicable laws.

The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for
offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or to
register or qualify under state securities laws, any shares of Common Stock,
security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the
Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made.
The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to
such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer instructions as counsel for the
Company deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal
and state securities laws.

To the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Award provides for
issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common
Stock, the issuance may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent
not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.

13.4     No Rights as a Stockholder

No Award shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other
right of a stockholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of
the shares that are the subject of such Award.

13.5     Compliance With Laws and Regulations

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator, in
its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or
condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers
or directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting,
limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants.
Additionally, in interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Award
granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be construed as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Code.

13.6     Participants in Other Countries

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to adopt such modifications,
procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with
provisions of the laws of other countries in which the Company or any Related
Company may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted
to Participants employed in such countries and to meet the objectives of the
Plan.

13.7     No Trust or Fund

The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan. Nothing contained herein
shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or shares
of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for
any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no Participant
shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured
creditor of the Company.

13.8     Severability

If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify
the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Plan Administrator,
such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Plan
Administrator's determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the
Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or
Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full
force and effect.

13.9     Choice of Law

The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the
extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to principles
of conflicts of law.

ARTICLE 14.
