The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option the time at which, or the installments in which, the Option shall vest and become exercisable, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the
Plan Administrator at any time.

The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may adjust the vesting schedule of an Option held by a Participant who works less than "full-time" as that term is defined by the Plan Administrator or who takes a Company-approved leave of absence.

To the extent an Option has vested and become exercisable, the Option may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part by delivery to the Company of a written stock option exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance with
procedures established by the Plan Administrator, setting forth the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, the restrictions imposed on the shares purchased under such exercise agreement, if any, and such
representations and agreements as may be required by the Plan Administrator, accompanied by payment in full as described in Article 7.5. An Option may be exercised only for whole shares and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of
shares at any one time, as determined by the Plan Administrator.

7.5 Payment of Exercise Price

The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration must be paid before
the Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable to the Plan Administrator for that purchase, which forms may include:

|(a) | cash;

Termination Date shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (y) the Option Expiration Date and (z) the one-year anniversary of the date of death, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.

|    | Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of termination of the Participant's employment or service relationship for Cause, all Options granted to that Participant shall automatically expire upon first notification to the
Participant of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for
Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option shall likewise be suspended during the period of investigation. If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after the Participant's relationship with the Company or a
Related Company has ended, any Option then held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

|(c) | A Participant's transfer of employment or service relationship between or among the Company and any Related Company, or a change in status from an employee to a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor or a change in
status from a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor to an employee, shall not be considered a termination of employment or service relationship for purposes of this Article 7. Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, a
termination of employment or service relationship shall be deemed to occur if a Participant's employment or service relationship is with an entity that has ceased to be a Related Company.

|(e) | If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company or a Related Company terminates by reason of Disability or death, the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable for all the shares subject to the
Option. Such Option shall remain exercisable for the time period set forth in this Article 7.6.

ARTICLE 8. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code, Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

8.1 Dollar Limitation

To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other stock option
plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such portion in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. In the event the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable for the first time in the same
calendar year, such limitation shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are granted.

8.2 Eligible Employees

Individuals who are not employees of the Company or one of its parent corporations or subsidiary corporations may not be granted Incentive Stock Options.

8.3 Exercise Price

The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date, and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations (a "Ten Percent Stockholder"), shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date. The determination of more
than 10% ownership shall be made in accordance with Section 422 of the Code.

8.4 Exercisability

An Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent it is exercised (if permitted by the terms of the Option) (a) more than three months after the Employment
Termination Date if termination was for reasons other than death or disability, (b) more than one year after the Employment Termination Date if termination was by reason of disability, or (c) after the Participant has been on leave of absence for
more than 90 days, unless the Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or contract.

8.5 Taxation of Incentive Stock Options

In order to obtain certain tax benefits afforded to Incentive
  Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code, the Participant must hold the shares
  acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option for two years after
  the Grant Date and one year after the date of exercise. A Participant may be
  subject to the alternative minimum tax at the time of exercise of an Incentive
  Stock Option. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition
  of shares

acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of such holding periods.

8.6 Code Definitions

For the purposes of this Article 8, "parent corporation," "subsidiary corporation" and "disability" shall have the meanings attributed to those terms for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

ARTICLE 9. WITHHOLDING

9.1 General

The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Option. The
Company shall not be required to issue any shares Common Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

9.2 Payment of Withholding Obligations in Cash or Shares

The Plan Administrator may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her tax withholding obligations by (a) paying cash to the Company, (b) having the Company withhold from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from
the Company to the Participant, (c) having the Company withhold a portion of any shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the Participant having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer's minimum required
tax withholding rate), or (d) surrendering any shares of Common Stock that the Participant previously acquired having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer's minimum required tax withholding rate to the extent the
Participant has held the surrendered shares for less than six months).

ARTICLE 10. ASSIGNABILITY

Neither an Option nor any interest therein may be assigned, pledged or transferred by the Participant or made subject to attachment or similar proceedings other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and, during the
Participant's lifetime, such Options may be exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to assign
or transfer an Option or may permit a Participant to designate a beneficiary who may exercise the Option or receive payment under the Option after the Participant's death; provided, however, that any Option so assigned or transferred shall be
subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and those contained in the instrument evidencing the Option.

ARTICLE 11. ADJUSTMENTS

11.1 Adjustment of Shares

In the event, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend, or other change in
the Company's corporate or capital structure, including, without limitation, a Related Party Transaction, results in (a) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a
different number or kind of securities of the Company or of any other corporation or (b) new, different or additional securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company, then
the Plan Administrator shall make

---

proportional adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities subject to the Plan and issuable as Incentive Stock Options as set forth in Article 4 and the maximum number and kind of securities that may be made subject to Options and to
Options to any individual as set forth in Article 4.3, and (ii) the number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding Award and the per share price of such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor.
The determination by the Plan Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a Corporate Transaction shall not be
governed by this Article 11.1 but shall be governed by Articles 11.2 and 11.3, respectively.

11.2 Dissolution or Liquidation

To the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, Options shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. To the extent a
forfeiture provision or repurchase right applicable to an Option has not been waived by the Plan Administrator, the Option shall be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation.

11.3 Corporate Transaction

Options

|(a) | In the event of a Corporate Transaction, except as otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing an Option (or in a written employment or services agreement between a Participant and the Company or Related Company) and except as
provided in subsection (b) below, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the surviving corporation, the successor corporation or its parent corporation, as applicable (the "Successor

|(c) | For the purposes of this Article 11.3, the Option shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Corporate Transaction the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock
subject to the Option immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date
of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Corporate Transaction
is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Plan Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Stock subject
thereto, to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality
of value of consideration shall be made by the Plan Administrator and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

11.4 Further Adjustment of Options

Subject to Articles 11.2 and 11.3, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control of the Company, as defined by the Plan Administrator,
to take such further action as it determines to be necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable to the Participants, with respect to Options. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to) establishing, amending or waiving the
type, terms, conditions or duration of, or restrictions on, Options so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and the Plan Administrator may take such actions with
respect to all Participants, to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The Plan Administrator may take such action before or after granting Options to which the action relates and before or after any public
announcement with respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control that is the reason for such action.

11.5 Limitations

The grant of Options shall in no way affect the Company's right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business
or assets.

11.6 Fractional Shares

In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Option, each such Option shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment.

ARTICLE 12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

12.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan

The Board may suspend, amend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that to the extent required for compliance with Section 422 of the Code or any applicable
law or regulation, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that would (a) increase the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, (b) modify the class of employees eligible to receive Options, or (c) otherwise
require stockholder approval under any applicable law or regulation. Any amendment made to the Plan that would constitute a "modification" to Incentive Stock Options outstanding on the date of such amendment shall not, without the consent of the
Participant, be applicable to such outstanding Incentive Stock Options but shall have prospective effect only.

12.2 Term of Plan

Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten years after the earlier of the Plan's adoption by the Board and approval by the stockholders.

12.3 Consent of Participant

The suspension, amendment or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Option shall not, without the Participant's consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any Option theretofore granted to the
Participant under the Plan. Any change or adjustment to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be made in a manner so as to constitute a "modification" that would cause such Incentive Stock Option to
fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Article 12 shall not be subject to these restrictions.

ARTICLE 13. GENERAL

13.1 Evidence of Options

Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Plan.

13.2 No Individual Rights

Nothing in the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the
Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related Company to terminate a Participant's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause.

13.3 Issuance of Shares

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the opinion of the Company's
counsel, such issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or to register or qualify under state securities laws, any shares of Common Stock, security or
interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made. The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to such restrictions on
transfer and stop-transfer instructions as counsel for the Company deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal and state securities laws.

To the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Option provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.

13.4 No Rights as a Stockholder

No Option or Stock Option denominated in units shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a stockholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject of such Option.

13.5 Compliance With Laws and Regulations

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers or directors
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants. Additionally, in interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock

Option pursuant to the Plan shall, to the extent permitted by law, be construed as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

13.6 Participants in Other Countries

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of other countries in which the Company or any Related Company may operate to
assure the viability of the benefits from Options granted to Participants employed in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan.

13.7 No Trust or Fund

The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or shares of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for any
immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

13.8 Severability

If any provision of the Plan or any Option is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any Option under any law deemed applicable by the Plan Administrator, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Plan Administrator's determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Option, such
provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Option, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Option shall remain in full force and effect.

13.9 Choice of Law

The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to principles of conflicts of
law.

ARTICLE 14. EFFECTIVE DATE

The effective date is the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board. If the stockholders of the Company do not approve the Plan within 12 months after the Board's adoption of the Plan, any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be
treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.
