II.      AGREEMENT
         ---------

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Committee (or the Disinterested Committee, if
applicable) hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the
"OPTIONEE"), an option (this "OPTION") to purchase the number of Shares set
forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the
Notice of Grant (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), and subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and this Option
Agreement. Subject to Section 18 of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between
the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

         If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option
("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as
defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds
the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a
Nonqualified Stock Option ("NSO").

         2. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

              (a) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. This Option shall vest and become
exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in
the Notice of Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this
Option Agreement.

              (b) METHOD OF EXERCISE. This Option shall be exercisable by
delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as EXHIBIT A (the "EXERCISE
NOTICE"), which shall state the election to exercise this Option, the number of
Shares with respect to which this Option is being exercised ("EXERCISED
SHARES"), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by
the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed
to be exercised when (i) the Company has received a fully executed Exercise
Notice, (ii) full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Exercised
Shares has been made, and (iii) arrangements that are satisfactory to the
Committee (or the Disinterested Committee, if applicable) in its sole discretion

                                      -2-



<PAGE>

have been made for the Optionee's payment to the Company of the amount, if any,
that the Committee (or the Disinterested Committee, if applicable) determines to
be necessary for the Company or a Subsidiary to withhold in accordance with
applicable federal or state income tax withholding requirements.

              No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option
unless the issuance and the exercise complies with all applicable laws, as
determined by the Committee (or the Disinterested Committee, if applicable) in
its sole discretion. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the
Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the
Option is exercised with respect to the Shares.

         3. OPTIONEE'S REPRESENTATIONS. If the issuance of the Shares is not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") at the time this
Option is exercised, then the Optionee shall, if requested by the Company,
deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B.

         4. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be
by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:

              (a) cash;

              (b) certified or cashier's check payable to the order of the
         Company;

              (c) other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of
         surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to
         which this Option will be exercised; or

              (d) any other consideration and method of payment for the issuance
         of Shares to the extent permitted by applicable laws and authorized by
         the Committee (or the Disinterested Committee, if applicable).

         5. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. This Option may not be exercised until
such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or
if the issuance of the Shares upon exercise or the method of payment of
consideration for the Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable law.

         6. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be transferred in
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee or his
guardian or legal representative. The terms of the Plan and this Option
Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors
and assigns of the Optionee.

         7. TERM OF OPTION. This Option may be exercised only within the term
set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.


                                      -3-

         8. TAX OBLIGATIONS.

              (a) WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee agrees to make appropriate
         arrangements with the Company (or the Subsidiary employing or retaining
         Optionee) for the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign
         income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the
         Option exercise. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company
         may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if the
         withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

              (b) NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF ISO SHARES. If this
         Option is an ISO, and if the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of
         any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later
         of (i) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date
         one (1) year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately
         notify the Company in writing of the disposition. The Optionee agrees
         that the Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the
         Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee.

         9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The
Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all
prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the
Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the
Optionee.

         10. GOVERNING LAW. The corporate laws of the State of Nevada shall
govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its security
holders under this Stock Option Agreement. All other questions and obligations
under this Option Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of
California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. In any action,
dispute, litigation or other proceeding concerning this Option Agreement
(including arbitration), exclusive jurisdiction shall be with the courts of
California, with the County of Los Angeles being the sole venue for the bringing
of the action or proceeding.

         11. NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE. THE OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS AN ELIGIBLE PERSON AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT
THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES
HEREUNDER). THE OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS OPTION
AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET
FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENT AS AN ELIGIBLE PERSON FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT
ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE
COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS AN ELIGIBLE PERSON
AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

                         2002 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                       INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT


OPTIONEE:

COMPANY:          OVERHILL FARMS, INC.

SECURITY:         COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT:

         In connection with the purchase of the above-referenced Securities, the
undersigned Optionee represents to the Company as follows:

         (a) Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is
acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own account only and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").

         (b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection,
Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the statutory basis for the exemption may be unavailable if
Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold
these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax
statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the
market price of the Securities, or for a period of one (1) year or any other
fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities
must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee
further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to
register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing
the Securities may be imprinted with any legend required under applicable
federal or state securities laws.

         (c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer
thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.

         (d) Optionee further understands that if all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities
Act or some other registration exemption will be required; and that,
notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the


                                      B-1


<PAGE>

Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons
proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered
offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden
of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for
the offers or sales, and that persons and their respective brokers who
participate in these transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands
that no assurances can be given that any other registration exemption will be
available in that event.

                                              Signature of Optionee:


                                              ----------------------------------
