                  (a) Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, the Option may be

                  (b) In order to exercise the Option granted hereunder, the
Optionee shall deliver to the Secretary of the Company written notice stating
the Optionee's intent to exercise the Option, which notice shall specify:

                           (i) the name of the Optionee;

                           (ii) the Option to be exercised;

                           (iii) the number of shares of Stock to be purchased
                  pursuant to such exercise; and

and payment, and the receipt of any certificates from the Optionee required by
the Company pursuant to Sections 8 and 9 hereof, the Company shall deliver to
the Optionee a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Stock
with respect to which the Option has been exercised.

         5. Vesting. The Option shall vest ratably over the one year period
beginning May 14, 2008 and ending May 13, 2009; provided, however, that the
Option shall become immediately exercisable in full at the time of a Change of
Control of the Company.

         6. Effect of Termination of Employment, Disability or Death. The
following provisions shall govern the exercise of any Options held by an

ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason other than Disability or
death, then the period during which each outstanding Option held by such
Optionee is to remain exercisable shall be limited to the ninety (90) day period
following the date of termination of employment. Under no

                                        2
<PAGE>

circumstances, however, shall any such Option be exercisable after the specified
expiration date of the Option term. Any outstanding Option may not be exercised
in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the Option
is exercisable on the date of the termination of employment, and such Option
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any Option shares
for which the Option is not at that time exercisable or in which the Optionee is
not otherwise at that time vested.

                  6.2 Disability. In the event that the Optionee ceases to be an
employee of the Company by reason of a Disability, then the period during which
each outstanding Option held by such Optionee is to remain exercisable shall be
limited to a period of one (1) year following the date of termination of
employment due to Disability. Under no circumstances, however, shall any such
Option be exercisable after the specified expiration date of the Option term as
set forth in the Option Agreement. Any outstanding Option may not be exercised
in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the Option
is exercisable on the date of the termination of employment due to Disability,
and such Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any
Option shares for which the Option is not at that time exercisable or in which
the Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested.

                  6.3 Death. In the event that the Optionee dies while holding
one or more outstanding Options, then the period during which each outstanding
Option held by such Optionee is to remain exercisable shall be limited to a
period of one (1) year following the date of the Optionee's death. During such
limited period, the Option may be exercised by the personal representative of
the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is
transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of
descent and distribution. Under no circumstances, however, shall any such Option
be exercisable after the specified expiration date of the Option term. Any
outstanding Option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the
number of vested shares for which the Option is exercisable on the date of the
death of the Optionee, and such Option shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding with respect to any Option shares for which the Option is not at
that time exercisable or in which the Optionee is not otherwise at that time
vested.

         7. Adjustments to Upon Certain Events. In the event that any change is
made to the Stock issuable under the Plan and the Option granted hereunder by
reason of stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares,

affecting the outstanding Stock as a class, the Board shall make appropriate
adjustments to the maximum number of shares and/or class of shares, and the
number of shares and/or class of shares and the exercise price per share in
effect under the Option, in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of
benefits thereunder. Any adjustments made by the Board pursuant to this Section
7 shall be final, binding and conclusive. Neither the existence nor the terms of
the Plan or this Agreement, nor the grant of any Option hereunder, shall affect

otherwise change its business structure.

         Except as expressly provided above, the issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services,
either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights, warrants or options to
subscribe therefor, or upon conversions of shares or obligations of the Company
convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect the number,
class or exercise price of shares of Stock then subject to the Option, and no
adjustment shall be made by reason thereof.

         8. Requirements of Law. The Company shall not be required to sell or
issue shares of its Stock under the Option if the sale or issuance would
constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provisions of any
state or federal law, rule or regulation. In addition, in connection with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, upon exercise of the Option, the Company
shall not be required to issue such shares of Stock unless the Company has
received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the Optionee will not
transfer such shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or unless an opinion of counsel to the
Company has been received to the effect that such registration is not required.
Any determination in this regard by the Company shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Certificates representing shares of Stock issued pursuant to the
exercise of the Option will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other
restrictions as may be applicable under federal and state laws, regulations and
rules, or the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system. In the event the shares issuable on exercise of the Option are not
registered under the Securities Act, the Company may imprint the following
legend or any other legend which counsel to the Company considers necessary or
advisable:

         "The shares of Stock represented by this certificate have not been
         registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the securities
         laws of any state and may not be sold or transferred except upon such
         registration or upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel
         satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required for such
         sale or transfer."

         The Corporation may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register
any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933; and in the
event any shares are so registered, the Company may, in its discretion, remove
any legend on certificates representing such shares. The Company shall not be
obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of
the Option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any state
or federal law or regulation.

         9. Investment Purpose. The Optionee agrees that any shares of Stock
subject to the Option granted hereunder will be acquired for investment and not
with any present intention to resell the same, and the Optionee further agrees
to confirm such intention by an appropriate written assurances and certificates
at the time of exercising an Option or any portion thereof.

         10. Withholding. The Company's obligation to deliver shares of Stock
upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to any and all applicable federal,
state and local tax withholding and reporting requirements.

impose upon the Company any obligation to employ the Optionee. The right of the
Company to terminate the employment of the Optionee shall not be diminished or
affected by reason of the fact that an Option has been granted hereunder to the
