                          WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                           NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION
                          GRANTED UNDER THE COMPANY'S
                             1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that on May 1, 2000 WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a California
corporation (the "Company") has granted to Kathleen E. Terry (the "Optionee") an
option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common stock of the Company, no par value,
at a price of $0.19 per share, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
to all of which the Optionee, by the acceptance hereof, assents.

1.      Option Period and Conditions on Exercise.

        This option vests as follows:
        As to 33,333 of the shares on May 1, 2000;
        As to an additional 33,333 shares on May 1, 2001; and
        As to an additional 33,334 shares on May 1, 2002.
        The option shall not be exercisable with respect to any of the shares
        subject to the option after the expiration of ten years from the date of
        grant, and the option shall not be exercisable with respect to
        fractional shares.

2.      Effect of Termination of Employment/Effect of Death.

        a.     If the Optionee is an officer, employee or director of the
               Company and ceases to be such for any reason other

<PAGE>   2

               than death or termination for cause, Optionee may exercise this
               option in accordance with its terms only for a period of ninety
               days after such cessation (but not beyond the Option Period). Any
               exercise of this option after such cessation may be only to the
               extent of the full number of shares the Optionee was entitled to
               purchase under this option on the date of such cessation, plus a
               portion of the additional number of shares, if any, he would have
               become entitled to purchase on the next anniversary date of the
               date of grant of the option following such cessation, such
               portion to be determined by multiplying such additional number of
               shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
               days from the anniversary date of the date of grant preceding
               such cessation to the date of such cessation and the denominator
               of which is 365. Such portion shall be rounded, if necessary, to
               the nearest whole share.

        b.     If the termination of the Optionee's position as an officer or
               employee of the Company is for cause (as determined in the sole
               judgment of the Board of Directors), this option shall thereupon
               be cancelled and the Optionee shall have no right to exercise any
               part of this option after such termination.

        c.     If the Optionee dies, this option continues in effect and may be
               exercised in accordance with its terms for

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   3
               twelve months from the date of the Optionee's death (but not
               beyond the Option Period) by the executor or administrator of the
               estate, or in the event there is none, then by the person or
               persons to whom the optionee's rights under this option shall
               pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any
               exercise of this option after such death may be only to the
               extent of the full number of shares the optionee was entitled to
               purchase under this option on the date of death, plus a portion
               of the additional number of shares, if any, he would have become
               entitled to purchase on the next anniversary date of the date of
               grant of the option following such death, such portion to be
               determined by multiplying such additional number of shares by a
               fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from
               the anniversary date of the date of grant preceding such death to
               the date of death and the denominator of which shall be 365. Such
               portion shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole
               share.

3.      Manner of Exercise.

        This option shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company
        addressed in the manner specified in paragraph 7, specifying the number
        of shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full in cash, or
        in whole or in


                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

        part in Common Stock, as provided in paragraph 9, for the shares
        purchased.

4.      Nontransferability of Option.

        This option shall not be transferable except to the executor or
        administrator of the Optionee's estate or to the Optionee's heirs or
        legatees, and shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only
        by the Optionee. This option may, however, be surrendered to the Company
        for cancellation for such consideration and upon such terms as may be
        mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Optionee.

5.      Adjustment of Shares and Price Per Share.

               The number of shares subject to this option shall be adjusted as
               follows:

        a.     In the event the Company's outstanding common stock is changed by
               any stock dividend, stock split, or combination of shares, the
               number of shares subject to this option shall be proportionately
               adjusted, without change in the aggregate purchase price.

        b.     Except as provided in subsection (d) hereof, in the event of any
               merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with any
               other corporation or corporations, there shall be substituted on
               an equitable basis, for each share of common stock then subject
               to this option, an option for the number and kind of


                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5

               shares of stock or other securities to which the holders of
               common stock of the Company will be entitled pursuant to the
               transaction.

        c.     In the event of any other relevant change in the capitalization
               of the Company, this option and the purchase price per share
               shall be equitably adjusted.

        d.     In the event of a merger described in Section 368 (a)(2)(E) of
               the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in which the Company is the
               surviving corporation, this option shall terminate and thereupon
               become null and void but only if the controlling corporation
               shall agree to exchange its options for this option; but the
               Optionee shall have the right, immediately prior to such merger,
               to exercise this option, without regard to any otherwise
               applicable restriction as to time of exercise, other than
               expiration of the Option Period.

        e.     Upon the dissolution of the Company, this option shall terminate
               and thereafter become null and void; but the Optionee shall have
               the right, immediately prior to such dissolution, to exercise
               this option without regard to any otherwise applicable
               restriction as to time of exercise, other than expiration of the
               Option Period.

6.      Compliance with Applicable Law.

        The exercise of this option is subject to the obtaining of any consent
        or approval of any governmental or other regulatory body which the Board
        of Directors, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable.

7.      Other Provisions.

        a.     The holder of this option shall not be entitled to any rights of
               a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares subject
               to this option until such shares have been paid for in full and
               issued to him.

        b.     Nothing in this Certificate shall be construed as limiting any
               rights which the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation
               of the Company may have to terminate at any time the employment
               of the Optionee.

        c.     Notice to the Company hereunder shall be addressed to the
               attention of its Secretary at its corporate office at 5861 Edison
               Place, Carlsbad, California 92008

        Payment for any number of shares of stock of the Company purchased
        pursuant to the exercise of this option may, at the election of the
        Optionee, be made by delivering to the Company a number of shares of the
        Common Stock of the Company, which the Optionee has owned for at least
        six months, with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), on the
        date this option is exercised, equal to the option exercise price for
        such shares.
