The common stock shall be unregistered unless the Company voluntarily files a registration statement covering such shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Options are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options as defined by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).




2.

When Exercisable; Vesting. The Options are fully vested and exercisable.




3.

Forfeiture.




(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all Options shall be immediately forfeited at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in the event of:




(1)

Purchasing or selling securities of the Company by the Optionee without written authorization in violation with the Company’s inside information guidelines then in effect;




(2)

Breaching any duty of confidentiality including that required by the Company’s inside information guidelines then in effect;




(3)

Competing with the Company;




















(b)

If the Optionee shall die, the Optionee’s estate or any Transferee, as defined herein, shall have the right within one year from the date of the Optionee’s death to exercise the Optionee’s Options to the extent the right to exercise to the Options shall have accrued at the date of death, except to the extent the Options shall have been exercised prior thereto. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Transferee” shall mean a person to whom such shares are transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.




(c)

No transfer of the Options by the Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the letters testamentary or such other evidence as the Board may deem necessary to establish the authority of the state and the acceptance by the Transferee or Transferees of the terms and conditions of the Options.  




4.

Profits on the Sale of Certain Shares; Redemption. If any of the events specified in Section 3(a) of this Agreement occur within one year from the date of this Agreement, all profits earned from the Optionee’s sale of the Company’s securities, including the sale of shares of common stock underlying Options, during the two-year period commencing one year prior to the date of this Agreement shall at the option of the Board be forfeited and forthwith paid by the Optionee to the Company. Further, in such event, the Company may at its option redeem shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of Options. The Company’s rights under this Section 4 do not lapse one year from the date of this Agreement but are a contract right subject to any appropriate statutory limitation period.




5.

Method of Exercise. The Options shall be exercisable by a written notice which shall:




(a)

state the election to exercise the Options, the number of shares to be exercised, the person in whose name the stock certificate or certificates for such shares of common stock is to be registered, the Optionee’s address and social security number (or if more than one, the names, addresses and social security numbers of such persons);




(b)

contain such representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such shares of common stock as set forth in Section 9 hereof;




(c)

be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the Options and, if the Options are being exercised by any person or persons other than the optionee, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Options.




(d)

be accompanied by full payment of the purchase or exercise price therefor in United States dollars by check.




The certificate or certificates for shares of common stock as to which the Options shall be

exercised shall be registered in the name of the person or persons exercising the Options.




6.

Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Optionee’s rights with respect to Options granted to him hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided unless otherwise specifically provided in a written agreement between the Optionee and the Company relating to such Options:




(a)

If the shares of common stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of its common stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding common stock, the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon the exercise of Options shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.




(b)

If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity pursuant to an Acquisition, the Board of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”) shall either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such Options the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of common stock in connection with the Acquisition; or (ii) terminate all Options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject to such Options over the exercise price thereof.




(c)

In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company (other than a transaction described in Section 6(b) above) pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of common stock, the Optionee upon exercising Options shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such exercise the securities he would have received if he had exercised the Optionee’s Options prior to such recapitalization or reorganization. 




(d)

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of common stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of common stock of any class shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Options. No adjustments shall be made for dividends or other distributions paid in cash or in property other than securities of the Company.




(e)

No fractional shares shall be issued and the Optionee shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares.




(f)

The Board or the Successor Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this Section 6, and its determination shall be conclusive. If the Optionee receives securities or cash in connection with a corporate transaction described in Section 6(a), (b) or (c) above as a result of owning such restricted common stock, such securities or cash shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions applicable to the restricted common stock with respect to which such securities or cash were issued, unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Successor

Board.




7.

Necessity to Become Holder of Record. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s estate, as provided in Section 3(b), shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Options until such person shall have become the holder of record of such shares. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or cash distributions, ordinary or extraordinary, in respect of such shares for which the record date is prior to the date on which he/she shall become the holder of record thereof.




8. 

Reservation of Right to Terminate Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the right of the Company to terminate any relationship the Optionee may have with the Company at any time, with or without cause. 




9. 

Conditions to Exercise of Options. In order to enable the Company to comply with the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and relevant state law, the Company may require the Optionee, the Optionee’s estate, or any Transferee as a condition of the exercising of the Options granted hereunder, to give written assurance satisfactory to the Company that the shares subject to the Options are being acquired for the Optionee’s own account, for investment only, with no view to the distribution of same, and that any subsequent resale of any such shares either shall be made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state law which has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being sold, or shall be pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state law.




The Options are subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification of the shares of common stock subject to the Options upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with the issue or purchase of shares under the Options, the Options may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected.

(a) 

Reserve and keep available for issue such number of shares of its authorized and unissued common stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement;
