AGREEMENT



A. Grant of Option. Autobytel Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), hereby grants to the Optionee named in the
Notice of Grant (the Optionee), an option (the Option) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the Shares) set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice
of Grant (the Exercise Price) subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the 2004 Restricted Stock and Option Plan (the Plan) adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise
defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Option Agreement.



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), or to the extent the Option does not meet the ISO rules for some other reason, this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory
Stock Option (NSO).



B.
Exercise of Option.



| | (1) | Right to Exercise. This Option shall be 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 and Schedule I hereto. In the event of Optionees death, disability or other termination of the employment with the Company, this Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the Plan and this Option Agreement and Schedule I hereto.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written notice (in the form attached as Exhibit A) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number
of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be
delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice
accompanied by the Exercise Price.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply
with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. 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 such Shares.



C. Method of
Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:



| | (1) | cash;
| | --- | -----



| | (2) | certified, bank cashiers, or tellers check;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------



| | (3) | surrender of other shares of Common Stock of the Company which (A) in the case of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Company option, have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised; or
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the
Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Exercise Price.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



D. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such
Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Regulation G) as promulgated by the Federal
Reserve Board.



E. Termination of Relationship. As of the date of the
Optionees termination of employment with the Company, Optionee may exercise this Option on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Schedule I hereto. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date of
such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified in Schedule I hereto, the Option shall terminate.



F. 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. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.



G. 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. The limitations set out in Section 6.4(b) of the Plan regarding Options designated as ISOs and Section 4.3 of the Plan regarding
Options granted to more than ten (10%) shareholders shall apply to this Option.

H. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option of some of the federal and
state tax consequences of exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares.



THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.



| | (1) | Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be no regular federal income tax liability or state income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option,
although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to the
alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Exercise of ISO Following Disability. If the Optionees employment with the Company terminates as a result of disability that is not a disability as defined in Section
22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent permitted on the date of termination, the Optionee must exercise an ISO within three months of such termination for the ISO to be qualified as an ISO.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | Exercise of NSO. There may be a regular federal income tax liability and state income tax liability upon the exercise of a NSO. The Optionee will be treated as having
received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company
will be required to withhold from Optionees compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor
the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | Disposition of Shares. In the case of an NSO, if Shares are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares should be treated as long-term capital
gain for federal and state income tax purposes. In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year after exercise and are disposed of at least two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on
disposition of the Shares should also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal and state income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within such one-year period or within two years after the Date of Grant, any gain
realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or
(2) the sale price of the Shares. Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain, short-term or long-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



-4-



---

| | (5) | Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares
acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee
agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement, including Schedule I hereto, 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 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 Optionee. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY DELAWARE LAW EXCEPT FOR THAT BODY OF LAW PERTAINING TO CONFLICT OF LAWS.

SCHEDULE I



(a) Payment Upon Exercise. Payment for the shares subject to any Option may be tendered in cash or by certified, bank
cashiers or tellers check or by shares of the Companys common stock (valued at fair market value (as determined by the Company) as of the date of tender) already owned by the Optionee, or some combination of the foregoing or
through cashless exercise or such other form of consideration which has been approved by the Board of Directors or committee thereof (the Board), including a promissory note given by the Optionee.



(b) Termination for Cause. As of the date of the Optionees
termination for Cause (as defined below), any unvested or unexercised portion of any Option shall terminate immediately and shall be of no further force or effect. As used herein, the term for Cause shall refer to the termination of the
Optionees employment as a result of any one or more of the following: (i) any conviction of, or pleading of nolo contendre by, the Optionee for any crime or felony; (ii) any gross wilfull misconduct of the Optionee which has a materially
injurious effect on the business or reputation of the Company; (iii) the gross dishonesty of the Optionee which has a materially injurious effect on the business or reputation of the Company; or (iv) a material failure to consistently discharge his
duties under the Employment Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2001, between the Company and Optionee (the Employment Agreement) which failure continues for thirty (30) days following written notice from the Company detailing the area or
areas of such failure. For purposes hereof, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Optionee, shall be considered willful if it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Optionee in good faith or with reasonable belief that his action
or omission was in the best interest of the Company. The Optionee shall have the opportunity to cure any such acts or omissions (other than item (i) above) within fifteen (15) days of the Optionees receipt of notice from the Company finding
that, in the good faith opinion of the Company, the Optionee is guilty of acts or omissions constituting Cause.



(c) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. As of the date of the Optionees termination by the Company without Cause or by the Optionee
for Good Reason (as defined below), any unvested portion of any Option shall become immediately and fully vested and all Options, including any previously vested but unexercised portions of any Options, shall be exercisable from such termination of
employment until the date that is two (2) years following the termination date. The term termination without Cause shall mean the termination of the Optionees employment for any reason other than those expressly set forth in the
definition for Cause above, or no reason at all, and shall also mean the Optionees decision to terminate his employment with the Company by reason of any act, decision or omission by the Company or the Board that: (A) materially
modifies, reduces, changes, or restricts the Optionees salary, bonus opportunities, options or other compensation benefits or perquisites, or the Optionees authority, functions, services, duties, rights, and privileges as, or
commensurate with the Optionees position as, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company; (B) relocates the Optionee without his consent from the Companys offices located at 18872 MacArthur Boulevard, Irvine,
California, 92612-1400 to any other location in excess of fifty (50) miles beyond the geographic limits of Irvine, California; (C) deprives the Optionee of his titles and positions of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company; or (D) involves or results in any failure by the Company to comply with any provision of the Employment Agreement or any Option, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied
by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Optionee (each a Good Reason).



(d) Termination due to Death or Disability. As of the date of the Optionees termination due to death or Disability (as defined below), any
unvested portion of any Option shall become immediately and fully vested and all Options, including any previously vested but unexercised portion of any Options, shall be exercisable from the date of such termination of employment until two (2)
years following the

termination date. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Optionee has occurred, it shall give
written notice to the Optionee of its intention to terminate his employment. In such event, the Optionees employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Optionee, provided that, within
the thirty (30) days after such receipt, the Optionee shall not have returned to full-time performance of his duties. For purposes hereof, Disability shall mean the inability of the Optionee to perform his duties to the Company on
account of physical or mental illness or incapacity for a period of ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, whether or not consecutive, during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period.



(e) Termination Without Good Reason. As of the date of
any voluntary termination of employment with the Company by the Optionee other than due to death or Disability, and other than for Good Reason, any unvested portion of any Option shall terminate immediately and shall be of no further force or
effect. Any previously vested but unexercised portion of any Option shall remain exercisable from the date of such termination of employment until the second anniversary of the termination date.



| | (f) | Termination Prior to or Following a Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) while the Optionee is employed by the Company, or the
