Optionee an option  ("Option")  to purchase the total number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company set forth above  ("Shares") at the Exercise Price Per Share
set forth above ("Exercise  Price"),  subject to all of the terms and conditions
of this  Agreement  and the Plan.  If  designated  as an Incentive  Stock Option

and references, which are undefined in this Agreement, shall have the definition

definition of the terms Employee and Consultant.

2. Exercise  Price.  The Exercise  Price, is not less than the fair market value
per share of Common  Stock on the date of grant,  as  determined  by the  Board;
provided,  however,  in  the  event  Optionee  is an  Employee  and  owns  stock
representing  more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined  voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or of its Parent or Subsidiary  corporations
immediately  before the Option is granted,  said exercise price is not less than
one  hundred ten  percent  (110%) of the fair  market  value per share of Common
Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board.

3. Exercise of Option.  Subject to the vesting schedule contained herein and the
other  conditions set forth in this Agreement,  all or part of the Option may be
exercised  prior to its  expiration  from the first vesting date set forth above
("First  Vesting Date") up to and including 5:00 p.m.  Pacific  Standard Time on
the expiration date set forth above ("Expiration Date") at the time or times set
forth herein in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as follows:

         (i)      Vesting:

                 (a)  The  Option  shall  become  exercisable  in the  amount of
                      100,000 shares upon the assembly and  commissioning of the
                      base  line  production  system  as  described  within  the
                      Company's  phased  build  out  plan  for  a  solar  module
                      manufacturing facility.

                 (b)  This  Option  shall  become  exercisable  in the amount of
                      100,000  shares upon the  production  of a commecial  size
                      working sample of the Company's  planned  tandem  junction
                      amorphous silicon solar module.

                 (c)  This  Option  shall  become  exercisable  in the amount of
                      300,000 shares upon the assembly and  commissioning of the
                      initial 25 mega watt production system as described within
                      the  Company's  phased  build out plan for a solar  module
                      manufacturing facility.

                 (d)  This  Option may  not be  exercised for  a fraction  of  a
                      Share.

                 (e)  In the  event of  Optionee's  death,  disability  or other
                      termination  of  employment,  the  exercisability  of  the
                      Option is governed  by Sections 7, 8 and 9 below,  subject
                      to the limitations contained in subsection 3(i)(d) below.

                                    2 of 16

<PAGE>

                 (f)  In no event may the Option be exercised  after the date of
                      expiration  of the term of the Option as set forth in Sec-
                      tion 11 below.

         (ii)(ii) Method  of  Exercise.  The  Option  shall  be  exercisable  by
                  written  notice which shall state the election to exercise the
                  Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is
                  being exercised, and such other representations and agreements
                  as to the  holder's  investment  intent  with  respect to such
                  shares  of  Common  Stock as may be  required  by the  Company
                  pursuant to the  provisions of the Plan.  Such written  notice
                  shall be signed by Optionee  and shall be  delivered in person
                  or by  certified  mail to the  President,  Secretary  or Chief
                  Financial Officer of the Company.  The written notice shall be
                  accompanied by payment of the exercise price.

         (iii)    Compliance  with Law. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the
                  exercise of an Option  unless such  issuance and such exercise
                  shall  comply  with  all  relevant  provisions  of law and the
                  requirements  of any stock  exchange or quotation  medium upon
                  which the Shares may then be listed or quoted.  Assuming  such
                  compliance,  for  income  tax  purposes  the  Shares  shall be
                  considered  transferred  to the  Optionee on the date on which
                  the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

         (iv)     Adjustments,  Merger,  etc. The number and class of the Shares
                  and/or  the  exercise  price  specified  above  are subject to
                  appropriate  adjustment in the event of changes in the capital
                  stock of  the  Company  by  reason  of stock  dividends, stock
                  splits, combination or r ecombination of shares, reclassifica-
                  tions,  mergers,  consolidations,  reorganizations or liquida-
                  tions.  Subject to any required action of the stockholders  of
                  the Company,  if the  Company  shall be the surviving corpora-
                  tion in any merger or consolidation, the Option (to the extent
                  that it  is still  outstanding) shall  pertain to and apply to
                  the  securities to which a holder of the same number of shares
                  of Common Stock that are then subject to the Option would have
                  been entitled. A dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or
                  a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the sur-
                  viving corporation, will cause the Option to terminate, unless
                  the  agreement  or  merger  or consolidation  shall  otherwise
                  provide,  provided  that  the Optionee   shall,  if  the Board
                  expressly authorizes, in such event have the right immediately
                  prior to such dissolution or liquidation, or merger or consoli
                  -dation, to  exercise  the Option  in  whole  or part.  To the
                  extent that the foregoing  djustments relate to stock or secur
                  -ities of the Company,  such adjustments  shall be made by the
                  Board,  whose determination  in that  respect shall  be final,
                  binding and conclusive.

4.   Optionee's Representations. By receipt of the Option, by its execution, and
by its  exercise in whole or in part,  Optionee  represents  to the Company that
Optionee understands that:

         (i)      Both the Option and any Shares purchased upon its exercise are
                  securities, the issuance by the Company of which requires com-
                  pliance with federal and state securities laws;

                                    3 of 16

<PAGE>

         (ii)     These  securities  are made  available to Optionee only on the
                  condition that Optionee makes the representations contained in
                  this Section 4 to the Company;

         (iii)    Optionee has made a reasonable investigation of the affairs of
                  the Company  sufficient  to be well  informed as to the rights
                  and the value of these securities;

         (iv)     Optionee  understands  that the securities have not been regi-
                  stered under  the Securities  Act  of 1933,  as  amended  (the
                  "Act") in  reliance upon one  or more specific exemptions con-
                  tained in the Act,  which  may include  reliance  on  Rule 701
                  promulgated under the Act,  if available,  or which may depend
                  upon: (a) Optionee's bona fide investment intention in acquir-
                  ing these securities;  (b) Optionee's  intention to hold these
                  securities in  compliance with  federal and  state  securities
                  laws; (c) Optionee  having no present  intention of selling or
                  transferring  any part thereof (recognizing that the Option is
                  not transferable) in violation of applicable federal and state
                  securities  laws; and (d) there  being certain restrictions on
                  transfer of the Shares subject to the Option;

         (v)      Optionee understands that the Shares subject to the Option, in
                  addition  to  other  restrictions  on  transfer,  must be held
                  indefinitely unless subsequently  registered under the Act, or
                  unless an exemption from registration is available;  that Rule
                  144, the usual exemption from registration,  is only available
                  after the  satisfaction  of certain holding periods and in the
                  presence of a public  market for the Shares;  that there is no
                  certainty that a public market for the Shares will exist,  and
                  that  otherwise it will be  necessary  that the Shares be sold
                  pursuant to another exemption from  registration  which may be
                  difficult to satisfy; and,

         (vi)     Optionee  understands  that the certificate  representing  the
                  Shares will bear a legend  prohibiting  their  transfer in the
                  absence of their  registration  or the  opinion of counsel for
                  the Company that  registration  is not required,  and a legend
                  prohibiting their transfer in compliance with applicable state
                  securities laws unless otherwise exempted.

5. Method of Payment.  Payment of the purchase  price may be made subject to the
terms of Section 14 herein,  or by cash, check or, in the sole discretion of the
Board at the time of exercise,  promissory notes or other Shares of Common Stock
having  a fair  market  value on the date of  surrender  equal to the  aggregate
purchase price of the Shares being purchased.

6. Restrictions on Exercise.  The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of
such Shares upon such  exercise  or the method of payment of  consideration  for
such Shares  would  constitute a violation  of any  applicable  federal or state
securities  or other law or  regulation.  As a condition  to the exercise of the
Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty
to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.

7.  Termination  of  Status  as an  Employee  or  Consultant.  In the  event  of
termination of Optionee's  continuous  status as an Employee or  Consultant,  as
such  status  may be  determined  and  construed  by  the  Company  in its  sole

                                    4 of 16

<PAGE>

discretion  ("Continuous Status"), for any reason other than death or disability
or the  completed  term and  performance  under  any  consulting  or  employment
agreement  between the Optionee and the Company,  Optionee  may, but only within
thirty (30) days after the date of such  termination (but in no event later than
the date of  expiration  of the term of the  Option as set forth in  Section  11
below), exercise the Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise
it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled
to exercise the Option at the date of such termination,  or if Optionee does not
exercise  the  Option  within  the  time  specified  herein,  the  Option  shall
terminate.

8. Disability of Optionee.  In the event of termination of Optionee's Continuous
Status  as an  Employee  or  Consultant  as a result of  Optionee's  disability,
Optionee  may,  but only within six (6) months from the date of  termination  of
employment  or consulting  relationship  (but in no event later than the date of
expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 11 below), exercise
the Option to the extent  Optionee  was  entitled  to exercise it at the date of
such  termination;  provided,  however that if the  disability  is not total and
permanent  (as  defined  in  Section  22(e)(3)  of the  Code)  and the  Optionee
exercises the option within the period provided above but more than three months
after the date of termination,  the Option shall automatically be deemed to be a
Nonstatutory  Stock  Option and not an Incentive  Stock  Option;  and  provided,
further,  that if the  disability  is total and permanent (as defined in Section
22(e)(3) of the Code),  then the Optionee may, but only within one (1) year from
the date of  termination  of employment or  consulting  relationship  (but in no
event later than the date of  expiration  of the term of the Option as set forth
in Section 11 below), exercise the Option to the extent Optionee was entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination,  or if Optionee does
not exercise  such Option (which  Optionee was entitled to exercise)  within the
time periods specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

9.       Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee:

         (i)      During the  term of the Option while an Employee or Consultant
                  of the  Company  and  having  been in Continuous  Status as an
                  Employee or  Consultant since the date of grant of the Option,
                  the Option may be exercised,  at any time  within one (1) year
                  following the date  of death (but, in the case of an Incentive
                  Stock Option, in no event later than the date of expiration of
                  the term of the Option as set  forth in Section 11 below),  by
                  Optionee's  estate or  by a  person who  acquired the right to
                  exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the
                  extent of the right to exercise that  had  accrued at the time
                  of death of the Optionee. To the extent that such Employee  or
                  Consultant was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date
                  of death, or if such Employee, Consultant, estate or other per
                  -son does not exercise such Option (which such Employee,  Con-
                  sultant, estate or person was entitled to exercise) within the
                  one  (1) year  time period specified  herein, the Option shall
                  terminate; or,

         (ii)     During the thirty (30)  day period  specified  in Section 7 or
                  the one  (1) year period  specified  in  Section 8, after  the
                  termination of Optionee's Continuous Status as  an Employee or
                  Consultant,  the Option may be exercised,  at any  time within
                  one (1) year following  the date of death (but, in the case of

                                    5 of 16

<PAGE>

                  an Incentive  Stock Option, in no event later than the date of
                  expiration of  the term of  the Option as set forth in Section
                  11 below),  by Optionee's  estate or by a person who  acquired
                  the right to  exercise  the Option by bequest or  inheritance,
                  but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accru
                  -ed at the date of termination. To the extent that such Employ
                  -ee or Consultant was not  entitled to exercise  the Option at
                  the date of death, or if such Employee, Consultant,  estate or
                  other person does not exercise such Option (which such Employ-
                  ee,  Consultant,  estate or   person was entitled to exercise)
                  within the  one (1)  year time  period specified  herein,  the
                  Option shall terminate.

10.  Non-Transferability  of Option.  The Option may not be  transferred  in any
manner  otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may
be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee, only by Optionee. The terms of the
Option shall be binding upon the executors,  administrators,  heirs,  successors
and assigns of Optionee.

11.  Term of Option.  The Option may not be  exercised  more than five (5) years
from the date of grant of the Option, and may be exercised during such term only
in accordance with the Plan and terms of the Option; provided, however, that the
term of this option, if it is a Nonstatutory  Stock Option,  may be extended for
the period set forth in Section 9(i) or Section 9(ii) in the  circumstances  set
forth in such Sections.

12. Early Disposition of Stock; Taxation Upon Exercise of Option. If Optionee is
an Employee and the Option qualifies as an ISO,  Optionee  understands  that, if
Optionee  disposes of any Shares  received under the Option within two (2) years
after the date of this  Agreement  or within one (1) year after such Shares were
transferred to Optionee, Optionee may be treated for federal income tax purposes
as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in any amount
generally  measured as the difference  between the price paid for the Shares and
the lower of the fair market  value of the Shares at the date of exercise or the
fair market value of the Shares at the of  disposition.  Any gain  recognized on
such  premature  sale of the Shares in excess of the amount  treated as ordinary
income may be  characterized  as capital gain.  Optionee hereby agrees to notify
the  Company  in  writing  within  thirty  (30) days  after the date of any such
disposition.  Optionee  understands that if Optionee  disposes of such Shares at
any time after the expiration of such two-year and one-year holding periods, any
gain on such sale may be  treated  as  long-term  capital  gain laws  subject to
meeting  various  qualifications.  If  Optionee  is a  Consultant  or  this is a
Nonstatutory  Stock  Option,  Optionee  understands  that,  upon exercise of the
Option, Optionee may recognize income for tax purposes in an amount equal to the
excess of the then fair market value of the Shares over the exercise price. Upon
a resale of such shares by the Optionee,  any difference  between the sale price
and the fair  market  value of the Shares on the date of  exercise of the Option
may be treated as capital gain or loss.  Optionee  understands  that the Company
may be required to withhold tax from Optionee's current  compensation in some of
the  circumstances  described  above  (and  Optionee  hereby so  authorizes  the
Company);  to the extent that Optionee's current compensation is insufficient to
satisfy the withholding  tax liability,  the Company may require the Optionee to
make a cash  payment to cover such  liability  as a condition to exercise of the
Option.

13.  Tax  Consequences.  The  Optionee  understands  that  any of the  foregoing
references to taxation are based on federal income tax laws and  regulations now
in  effect,   and  may  not  be  applicable   to  the  Optionee   under  certain
circumstances.  The Optionee may also have adverse tax consequences  under state

                                    6 of 16

<PAGE>

or local law. The Optionee has reviewed with the Optionee's own tax advisors the
federal,   state,  local  and  foreign  tax  consequences  of  the  transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.  The Optionee is relying solely on such advisors
and  not on any  statements  or  representations  of the  Company  or any of its
agents.  The Optionee  understands that the Optionee (and not the Company) shall
be  responsible  for the Optionee's own tax liability that may arise as a result
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

14. Net Issue Exercise.  Notwithstanding  any provisions herein to the contrary,
if the fair market value of one share of the  Company's  Common Stock is greater
than the Per  Share  Exercise  Price  (at the date of  calculation  as set forth
below),  in lieu of  exercising  the Option for cash,  the Optionee may elect to
receive  shares equal to the value (as  determined  below) of the Option (or the
portion  thereof  being  canceled) by  surrender of the Option at the  principal
office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and
Subscription  Form and notice of such election,  in which event the Company will
issue to the  Optionee  a number of shares of Common  Stock  computed  using the
following formula:


                  X = Y (A-B)
                      -------
                        A

          Where X = the  number of  shares  of Common  Stock to be issued to the
          Optionee

                            Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
          under  the Option  or,  if  only a  portion  of the  Option  is  being
          exercised, the portion of the Option  being  canceled  (at the date of
          such calculation)

                            A = the  fair  market  value  of  one  share  of the
          Company's Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

                            B = Per  Share  Exercise  Price  (as adjusted to the
          date of such calculation)

         For purposes of the above  calculation,  fair market value of one share
of the  Company's  Stock  will  be the  average  of the  closing  prices  of the
Company's  shares of  Common  Stock as quoted  on the OTC  Bulletin  Board  (the
"OTCBB") (or on such other United States stock exchange or public trading market
or quotation medium on or by which the shares of the Company trade or are quoted
if, at the time of the  election,  they are not  trading or being  quoted on the
OTCBB), for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date
of the date the completed,  executed Notice of Exercise and Subscription Form is
received.

15.  Damages.  The parties  agree that any violation of the Option (other than a
default in the payment of money) cannot be compensated  for by damages,  and any
aggrieved  party shall have the right,  and is hereby granted the privilege,  of
obtaining  specific  performance  of  the  Option  in  any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction in the event of any breach hereunder.

16. Delay. No delay or failure on the part of the Company or the Optionee in the
exercise of any right,  power or remedy shall operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor

                                    7 of 16

<PAGE>

shall any  single or  partial  exercise  by any of them of any  right,  power or
remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof,  or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy.

17.  Restrictions.  Notwithstanding  anything  herein to the contrary,  Optionee
understands  and agrees  that  Optionee  shall not dispose of any of the Shares,
whether  by  sale,  exchange,  assignment,   transfer,  gift,  devise,  bequest,
mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or otherwise,  except in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, and Optionee shall not take or omit any action
which will impair the absolute and  unrestricted  right,  power,  authority  and
capacity of Optionee to sell Shares in accordance  with the terms and conditions
hereof.

Any purported transfer of Shares by Optionee that violates any provision of this
Section 17 shall be wholly void and ineffectual and shall give to the Company or
its  designee the right to purchase  from  Optionee all but not less than all of
the Shares then owned by Optionee for a period of ninety (90) days from the date
the Company first learns of the purported transfer at the Agreement Price and on
the  Agreement  Terms (as those terms are defined in  subsections  (iv) and (v),
respectively, of this Section 17).

The Company  shall not cause or permit the  transfer of any Shares to be made on
its books except in accordance with the terms hereof.

         (i)      Permitted Transfers.

                  (a)      Optionee may sell, assign or transfer any Shares held
                           by the  Optionee  but  only  by  complying  with  the
                           provisions of this Section 17.

                  (b)      Upon  the  death  of  Optionee,  Shares  held  by the
                           Optionee   may  be   transferred   to  the   personal
                           representative  of the Optionee's  estate.  Shares so
                           transferred shall be subject to the provisions of the
                           Option and this Agreement.


         (ii)     Stock  Certificate  Legend.  Each stock certificate for Shares
                  issued  to the  Optionee  shall  have  conspicuously  written,
                  printed,  typed or stamped upon the face thereof,  or upon the
                  reverse  thereof  with a  conspicuous  reference  on the  face
                  thereof, one or both of the following legends:

                  THE SHARES  REPRESENTED BY THIS  CERTIFICATE  HAVE BEEN ISSUED
                  WITHOUT  REGISTRATION  UNDER THE  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933,  AS
                  AMENDED,  AND  MAY  NOT  BE  TRANSFERRED  IN  THE  ABSENCE  OF
                  REGISTRATION  THEREUNDER OR AN APPLICABLE  EXEMPTION  FROM THE
                  REGISTRATION  REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE
                  SOLD, ASSIGNED,  TRANSFERRED,  OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN ANY
                  MANNER EXCEPT IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF
                  THE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT,  A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE
                  PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.  EVERY CREDITOR OF THE HOLDER
                  HEREOF AND ANY PERSON  ACQUIRING OR PURPORTING TO ACQUIRE THIS

                                    8 of 16

<PAGE>

                  CERTIFICATE  OR THE SHARES  HEREBY  EVIDENCED  OR ANY INTEREST
                  THEREIN  IS HEREBY  NOTIFIED  OF THE  EXISTENCE  OF SUCH STOCK
                  OPTION AGREEMENT, AND ANY ACQUISITION OR PURPORTED ACQUISITION
                  OF THIS  CERTIFICATE  OR THE SHARES  HEREBY  EVIDENCED  OR ANY
                  INTEREST   THEREIN   SHALL  BE   SUBJECT  TO  ALL  RIGHTS  AND
                  OBLIGATIONS  OF THE PARTIES TO SUCH STOCK OPTION  AGREEMENT AS
                  THEREIN SET FORTH.

                  IT IS  UNLAWFUL  TO  CONSUMMATE  A SALE  OR  TRANSFER  OF THIS
                  SECURITY,   OR  ANY  INTEREST  THEREIN,   OR  TO  RECEIVE  ANY
                  CONSIDERATION  THEREFOR,  WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF
                  THE  COMMISSIONER  OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
                  EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN THE COMMISSIONER'S RULES.

         (iii)    Manner of Exercise.  Any right to purchase  hereunder shall be
                  exercised  by  giving   written  notice  of  election  to  the
                  Optionee, the Optionee's personal  representative or any other
                  selling person, as the case may be, prior to the expiration of
                  such right to purchase.

         (iv)     Agreement Price. The "Agreement  Price" shall be the higher of
                  (a) the  fair  market  value  of the  Shares  to be  purchased
                  determined  in good  faith by the  Board of  Directors  of the
                  Company and (b) the original  exercise  price of the Shares to
                  be purchased.

         (v)      Agreement Terms. "Agreement Terms" shall mean and include the
                  following:

                  (a)      Delivery of Shares and Closing  Date. At the closing,
                           the Optionee, the Optionee's personal  representative

                           properly   endorsed  for   transfer,   and  with  the
                           necessary  documentary  and transfer  tax stamps,  if
                           any,  affixed,  to  the  purchaser  of  such  Shares.
                           Payment  of  the  purchase  price   therefore   shall
                           concurrently be made to the Optionee,  the Optionee's
                           personal representative or such other selling person,
                           as provided in subsection (b) of this subsection (v).
                           Such  delivery  and  payment  shall  be  made  at the
                           principal  office  of the  Company  or at such  other
                           place as the parties mutually agree.

                  (b)      Payment of  Purchase Price. The Company shall pay the

         (vi)     Right to  Purchase  Upon  Certain  Events.  The Company or its
                  designee  shall have the right to purchase  all,  but not less
                  than all, of the Shares held by the Optionee at the  Agreement
                  Price and on the  Agreement  Terms for a period of ninety (90)
                  days after any of the following events:

                  (b)      The filing  of a petition by the  Optionee  under the
                           U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency laws;

                  (c)      The filing of a petition  against  Optionee under any
                           insolvency or bankruptcy  laws by any creditor of the
                           Optionee  if such  petition is not  dismissed  within
                           thirty (30) days of filing;

                  (d)      The entry of a decree of divorce between the Optionee

                           or consultant with the Company.

                  The Optionee  shall provide the Company  written notice of the
                  occurrence of any such event within 30 days of such event.

         (vii)    Termination. The provisions of this Section 17 shall terminate
                  and all rights of each such party hereunder shall cease except
                  for  those  which  shall  have  theretofore  accrued  upon the
                  occurrence of any of the following events:

                  (b)      Bankruptcy, receivership or dissolution of the
                           Company;


                  (c)      Written  consent or agreement of the  shareholders of
                           the Company  holding  Fifty Percent (50%) of the then

                           (determined on a fully diluted basis);

                  (d)      Consent or agreement  of a majority of the members of
                           the Board of Directors of the Company; or,

                  (e)      Registration of any class of equity securities of the
                           Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities  Ex-
                           change Act of 1934, as amended.

         (viii)   Amendment. This Section 17 may be modified or amended in whole
                  or in part by a written  instrument  signed by shareholders of
                  the Company  holding 50% of the  outstanding  shares of Common
                  Stock  (determined  on a fully diluted basis) or a majority of
                  the members of the Board of Directors of the Company.


18. Market Standoff. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise consents,  Optionee
agrees hereby not to sell or otherwise  transfer any Shares or other  securities
of the Company  during the 180-day  period  following  the  effective  date of a

                                    10 of 16

<PAGE>

registration  statement of the Company filed under the Act;  provided,  however,
that such restriction shall apply only to the first two registration  statements
of the Company to become effective under the Act which includes securities to be
sold on behalf of the Company to the public in an  underwritten  public offering
under the Act. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to
securities  subject to the foregoing  restrictions until the end of such 180-day
period.

19.  Rule 144.  Optionee  acknowledges  and  understands  that the Shares may be
subject to transfer and sale  restrictions  imposed  pursuant to SEC Rule 144 of
the  Rules  promulgated  under  the  Securities  Act of  1933  ("Act")  and  the
regulations promulgated thereunder. Optionee shall comply with Rule 144 and with
all policies and  procedures  established by the Company with regard to Rule 144
matters.  Optionee  acknowledged  that the Company or its  attorneys or transfer
agent  may  require a  restrictive  legend on the  certificate  or  certificates
representing  the Shares pursuant to the  restrictions on transfer of the Shares
imposed by Rule 144.

20. No Distribution. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Optionee acknowledges that: (i) the Option, and the Shares upon exercise, is and
are being acquired in a private  transaction which is not part of a distribution
of the Option or Shares; (ii) the Optionee intends to hold the Option and Shares
for the account of the Optionee and does not intend to sell the Option or Shares
as a part of a distribution or otherwise; and (iii) neither the Optionee nor the
Company is an  underwriter  with regard to the Option or the Shares for purposes
of Rule 144.

21. Securities  Compliance.  Optionee understands that the Option and the Shares
may be  offered  and  sold  in  reliance  on one or  more  exemptions  from  the
registration requirements of federal and state securities laws, which exemptions
may include,  without limitation,  Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act,  and that the  Company  is  relying  upon the  truth  and  accuracy  of the
representations,  warranties, agreements,  acknowledgments and understandings of
Optionee  set  forth  herein in order to  determine  the  applicability  of such
exemptions and the suitability of Optionee to acquire the Option and the Shares.
The  representations,  warranties and agreements  contained  herein are true and
correct as of the date hereof and may be relied upon by the Company and Optionee
will  notify  the  Company  immediately  of  any  adverse  change  in  any  such
representations  and warranties which may occur prior to the issuance of Shares.
The  representations,  warranties  and agreements of Optionee  contained  herein
shall survive the  execution and delivery of this  Agreement and the exercise of
the Option and the issuance of the Shares.

22. Complete Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to its subject  matter,  and supersedes all other prior
or contemporaneous  agreements and understandings both oral or written; subject,
however,  that in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan,
the Plan shall govern. This Agreement may only be amended in a writing signed by
the Company and the Optionee.

23. Privileges of Stock Ownership.  Optionee shall not have any of the rights of
a shareholder with respect to any Shares until Optionee exercises the Option and
pays the  Exercise  Price,  Shares are issued and  delivered  to  Optionee,  and
Optionee  is shown as a  shareholder  of record on the books and  records of the
Company.

                                    11 of 16

24. Further Acts. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and execute
such additional documents or instruments and perform such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary to affect the purpose and intent of the Agreement.

25. Effect of Headings. The subject headings of the paragraphs and subparagraphs
of this Agreement are included for purposes of  convenience  only, and shall not
affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.

26.  Notices.  Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under
the terms of this  Agreement  shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate
Secretary of the Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required
to be given or  delivered  to  Optionee  shall be in writing  and  addressed  to
Optionee at the address  indicated herein or to such other address as such party
may designate in writing from time to time to the Company.  All notices shall be
deemed to have been given or delivered upon actual personal delivery;  three (3)
days after  deposit in the United  States mail by certified or  registered  mail
(return receipt  requested);  one (1) business day after deposit with any return
receipt express courier (prepaid); or one (1) business day after transmission by
facsimile with a corresponding facsimile transmission confirmation sheet.

27. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed  simultaneously in one or more
counterparts,  each of  which  shall be  deemed  an  original,  but all of which
together shall  constitute one and the same  instrument.  The exhibits  attached
hereto and  initialed  by the parties  are made a part  hereof and  incorporated
herein by this reference.

28. Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement,  whether express or implied,
is  intended  to  confer  any  rights  or  remedies  under or by  reason of this
Agreement  on any  persons  other than the  parties  to it and their  respective
successors and assigns, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or
discharge the obligation or liability of any third party to this Agreement,  nor
shall any  provision  give any third person any right of  subrogation  or action
over against any party to this Agreement.

29.  Recovery of Litigation  Costs.  If any legal action or any  arbitration  or
other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of
an alleged dispute,  breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any
of the  provisions of this  Agreement,  the  successful  or prevailing  party or
parties shall be entitled to recover as an element of their damages,  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and other  costs  incurred  in that  action or  proceeding,  in
addition to any other relief to which they may be entitled.


30.  Severability;  Construction.  In the  event  that  any  provision  in  this
Agreement shall be invalid or  unenforceable,  such provision shall be severable
from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any
effect on, the remaining  provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be
construed as to its fair meaning and not for or against either party.

31. Survival of Representations and Obligations. All representations, warranties
and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement, or in any instrument,

                                    12 of 16

<PAGE>

certificate,  opinion or other  writing  provided for in it,  shall  survive the
exercise of the Option and the issuance of the Shares.

32.  Specific  Performance.  Each party's  obligations  under this Agreement are
unique. If any party should default in its obligations under this Agreement, the
parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the
resulting  damages;  accordingly,  the  nondefaulting  party, in addition to any
other available rights or remedies,  may sue in equity for specific  performance
without the necessity of posting a bond or other security,  and the parties each
expressly waive the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.

33.  Gender;  Number.  Whenever  the  context of this  Agreement  requires,  the
masculine gender includes the feminine or neuter gender, and the singular number
includes the plural.

34.  Governing Law and Venue.  This  Agreement will be construed and enforced in
accordance  with, and the rights of the parties will be governed by, the laws of
the State of California without regard to conflict of laws principles.  Venue in
any action arising by reason of this Agreement  shall lie  exclusively in Orange
County, California.

35.  Employment  Agreement.  This  Option is  issued  pursuant  to that  certain
Employment  Agreement  effective January 1st, 2007, and any amendments  thereto,
between the  Optionee  and the Company.  The terms of the  Employment  Agreement
shall control over any  conflicting  terms in this Option.  Any breach under the
Employment  Agreement shall constitute a breach under this Option and allows the
Company to terminate this Option in whole or in part.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is made effective on the date first set forth
above at Orange County, California.

                                   Company:

Option Agreement and I know its contents. I hereby consent to and approve of the
