              ·

              ·

    3. Exercise
Price.  The price of each share of Common Stock purchased
pursuant to this Option shall be U.S. $0.001, the fair market value on the date
of the grant.

    


    4. Exercise of
Option.  The Optionee may exercise the Option, in whole or in
part, with respect to any whole number of vested shares of Common Stock subject
to the Option.  The Optionee shall exercise the Option by giving the
Company written notice, in a form prescribed by the Company.  Such
notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and
shall be accompanied by payment, in U.S. dollars, in cash, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, or by certified check or by official bank check, of
an amount equal to the Option exercise price per share of Common Stock,
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Option is
being exercised

    


    5. Delivery of Common Stock
Certificate.  Subject to Section 6, as soon as practicable
after receipt of the notice and payment referred to in Section 4 above, the
Company shall deliver to the Optionee (or, in the case of a broker financed
exercise described in Section 4, to the broker) a certificate or certificates
for such shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Option; provided,
however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by


    
      
         


      

      
         


        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    the
Company for such period of time as the Company may require for compliance with
any law, rule or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of shares of
Common Stock.

    


    6. Payment of
Taxes.  Prior to or concurrently with delivery by the Company
to the Optionee of a certificate or certificate(s) representing such shares of
Common Stock, the Optionee shall, if required by the IRS, upon notification of
the amount due, promptly pay or cause to be paid, in cash, any amount necessary
to satisfy any tax requirements (or otherwise satisfy such requirements in a
manner satisfactory to the Company).

    


    7. Termination of
Option.  This Option and all rights of the Optionee to purchase
shares of Common Stock hereunder shall terminate on December 2, 2015 (the “Expiration

hereof.

determines to be appropriate; (ii) upon written notice to the Optionee, provide
that the Option shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the
transaction unless exercised by the Optionee within a specified period following

in the event of a sale or similar transaction under the terms of which holders
of Common Stock receive a payment for each share of Common Stock surrendered in
the transaction (the “Sales

amount by which (A) the Sales Price times the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the Option (to the extent such Option is then exercisable) exceeds
(B) the aggregate exercise price for all such shares of Common Stock; or (iv)
may make such other equitable adjustments as the Board deems appropriate.


      


      (b) In the event of any stock
dividend or split, recapitalization, combination, exchange or similar change
affecting the Common Stock, the Board shall make any or all of the following
adjustments as it deems appropriate to equitably reflect such
event:  (i) adjust the option price to be paid for any or all shares

as the Board, in its discretion, shall deem appropriate.

    

    


    (c) Any and all adjustments or
actions taken by the Board pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes.

    


    10. No Restriction on the Right
of the Company to Effect Corporate Changes.  The Option granted
hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its
business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock
or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the
Common Stock or the rights of holders thereof or which are convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any
other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
otherwise.

    


    11. No Shareholder
Rights.  The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of

    12. Nontransferability.

    


    (a) Except as provided in
paragraph (b) of this Section 12, or by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, the Option is not transferable, and may be exercised only by the
Optionee.  In the event of any attempt by the Optionee to transfer,
assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Option or of any right
hereunder, except as provided for herein, or in the event of the levy of any
attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby
conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Optionee and it

    (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs
(a) or (b), the Optionee may transfer the Option with the express, prior written
consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld for any reason or for no
reason.

    


    13. Representations By and

binding obligation of the Optionee, enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

appropriate.

registration or other qualification of such shares of the Company under any law
or regulation of any applicable jurisdiction, authority or agency that the
Board, in its absolute discretion or upon the advice of counsel, deems necessary
or advisable; and

        4

of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

    


    17. Severability.  In
the event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement, or any action taken
pursuant to this Agreement, should, for any reason, be unenforceable or invalid
in any respect under the laws of the United States, any state of the United
States or any other jurisdiction, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not
affect any other provision of this Agreement, but in such particular
jurisdiction and instance this Agreement shall be construed as if such
unenforceable or invalid provision had not been contained therein or if the
action in question had not been taken thereunder.

    


    18. Board
Determinations.  In the event that any question or controversy
shall arise with respect to the nature, scope or extent of any one or more
rights conferred by the Option, or any provision of this Agreement, the good

conclusive, final and binding upon the Optionee and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

    


    19. Governing
Law.  This Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of
New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within the State of
New York, without giving effect to any choice-of-law provisions thereof that
would compel the application of the substantive laws of any other
jurisdiction.

    


    20. Jurisdiction;
Venue.  The Optionee hereby agrees that any action, proceeding
or claim against it arising out of, or relating in any way to this Agreement
shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or of the
United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably
submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The
Optionee hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that
such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Any process or summons to be served
upon the Optionee may be served by transmitting a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to it at
the address set forth herein. Such mailing shall be deemed personal service and
shall be legal and binding upon the Optionee in any action, proceeding or claim.
The Company and the Optionee agree that the prevailing party(ies) in any such
action shall be entitled to recover from the other party(ies) all of its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses relating to such action or proceeding
and/or incurred in connection with the preparation therefore.
