Termination.  The right to exercise this Option is subject to the
following additional limitations:


 


6.1                                 This
Option will terminate immediately with respect to any Common Shares for which
this Option has not been exercised upon the occurrence of the following events:


 


(a)                                  The
termination of Optionee’s employment or service as a director or consultant
with the Company For Cause.


 


(b)                                 A
breach by Optionee of any confidentiality, noncompetition, or nonsolicitation
covenant contained in any employment agreement or any other agreement executed
by the Optionee for the benefit of the Company.


 


(c)                                  The
consummation of a Change in Control, unless the agreement governing the Change
in Control provides otherwise.


 


(d)                                 The
dissolution or liquidation of the Company other than in connection with a
Change in Control.


 


6.2                                 If
the Optionee’s employment or service as a director or consultant with the
Company is terminated other than For Cause, including termination because of
Optionee’s death or disability, this Option will be exercisable, to the extent
it was exercisable on the date Optionee’s employment or service terminated, for
a period of three months following such termination of employment or
service.  Upon the expiration of the
three-month exercise period, or, if earlier, upon the Expiration Date of this
Option, the Option will terminate and cease to be outstanding for any Common
Shares for which this Option has not been exercised.


 


7.                                       Transferability
of Option.


 


7.1                                 During
the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option may be exercised only by the Optionee
and may not be assigned or transferred except that upon prior written consent
of the Board, and subject to any condition associated with such consent, the
Option may be assigned or transferred (a) by gift to the Optionee’s “immediate
family,” as that term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange Act, (b) to
an inter vivos or testamentary trust in


 


2





















 


which the Option is to be passed to the beneficiaries
upon the death of the trustor (settlor), or (c) such other circumstances the
Board has deemed appropriate.  Following
such assignment, no further assignment of the Option will be permitted.  As a condition of any such assignment, the
assignee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.


 


7.2                                 In
the event of the Optionee’s death prior to the Expiration Date, the Option may
be exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate, or by the
persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or in
accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.


 


8.                                       Restrictions
on Option Shares.  Optionee may not sell, pledge, or otherwise
transfer any interest in any Common Shares (the “Option Shares”) acquired
pursuant to exercise of the Option except pursuant to an effective registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the applicable
state securities laws (“State Acts”) or if exemptions from such registration
are available.  Optionee understands that
the Company may require an opinion of Optionee’s counsel or other evidence
satisfactory to the Company that any such transfer is not in violation of the
Act or State Acts.  Unless the Option
Shares are subject to an effective registration, the certificates representing
the Option Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:


 


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR UNDER ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS UNLESS EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER ARE AVAILABLE, THE
AVAILABILITY OF WHICH MUST BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF VITACUBE
SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC. (THE “COMPANY”).


 


9.                                       Governing
Law.  This Agreement will be governed
by and construed under the laws of the state of Colorado.


 


10.                                 Notices.  Any and all notices, designations, consents,
offers, acceptances, or any other communication provided for herein must be
given in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given, (a) if delivered
by personal delivery; (b) when sent by email or confirmed facsimile, if sent on
a business day before 5:00 p.m. and, otherwise on the next business day; (c)
one business day after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight
courier; or (d) five days after being mailed, registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid.  Such communications
will be addressed, in the case of the Company, to its principal office, and in
the case of the Optionee, to Optionee’s address appearing on the record books
of the Company or Optionee’s residence, or at such other address as may be
designed by Optionee.

enclose a check or money order payable to the order of “VitaCube Systems
Holdings, Inc.” in the amount of $              .


 


        B.                                                             Other
