The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be as determined by the Plan Administrator, provided that:



(a) 	the exercise price for Options granted to Participants other than Consultant Participants but shall not be less than the minimum exercise price required by Article 8.3 with respect to Incentive Stock Options and shall not be less than 85% of
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date with respect to Nonqualified Stock Options;

7.4	Exercise of Options 



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.



5









 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;
  
	(b)

        	check;
  
	(c)

        	tendering (either actually or, if the
        Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
        Act, by attestation) shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant
        for at least six months (or any shorter period necessary to avoid a charge
        to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes) that on the
        day prior to the exercise date have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate
        exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option; or

         

	(d)	if the Common Stock is registered under
        Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, delivery of a properly executed
        exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a brokerage
        firm designated by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the
        aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option exercise price
        and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with
        the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve
        Board.




7.6	Post-Termination Exercises 


 The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each
  instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be
  exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such exercise, if the Participant
  ceases to be employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or a Related
  Company, which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator
  at any time. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option,
  the Option shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions,
  which may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time: 

	(a)
   	Except as otherwise set
        forth in this Article 7.6, any portion of an Option that is not vested
        and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall expire on such
        date.

         

	(b)
   	Any portion of an Option
        that is vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall
        expire on the earliest to occur of

          

	 	(i) 	if the Participant's Employment Termination
        Date occurs for reasons other than Cause, Retirement, Disability or death,
        the day which is three months after such Employment Termination Date;



 6





 

	 	(ii)

        	if the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs by
      reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the one-year anniversary of such
      Employment Termination Date; and

       
	 	(iii)	the last day of the Option Term (the "Option Expiration Date").


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
  Participant dies after his or her Employment Termination Date but while an Option
  is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable
  on such Employment 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.

         

	(d)

        	The effect of a Company-approved leave
        of absence on the application of this Article 7 shall be determined by
        the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

         

	(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. 

 7

  its parent corporations or subsidiary corporations may not be granted Incentive
  Stock Options. 

 8.3 Exercise Price

  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

  to those terms for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

 The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company
  the amount of any taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal,

  to Stock Awards and to Awards 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 12.1
  but shall be governed by Articles 12.2 and 12.3, respectively. 


10










12.2 Dissolution or Liquidation 


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


12.3 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
        Corporation").

      

	 	 
	(b)
   	If, in connection with a
        Corporate Transaction, the Successor Corporation refuses to assume or
        substitute for an Option, then each such outstanding Option shall become
        fully vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the unvested portion
        of the Option. In such case, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant
        in writing or electronically that the unvested portion of the Option specified
        above shall be fully vested and exercisable for a specified time period.
        At the expiration of the time period, the Option shall terminate, provided
        that the Corporate Transaction has occurred.

         

	(c)
   	For the purposes of this
        Article 12.3, 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.

         

	(d)	All Options shall terminate
        and cease to remain outstanding immediately following the Corporate Transaction,
        except to the extent assumed by the Successor Corporation.




12.4 Further Adjustment of Awards 


 Subject to Articles 12.2 and 12.3, 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 Awards. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to)
  establishing, amending or waiving 

 11








 the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or restrictions
  on, Awards 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 Awards 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. 

 12.5 Limitations  

 The grant of Awards 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. 

 12.6 Fractional Shares  

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

 ARTICLE 13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


13.1 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.


 13.2 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. 

 13.3 Consent of Participant  

 The suspension, amendment or termination of the Plan or a
  portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Award shall not, without
  the Participant's consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any
  Award 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. 


12










ARTICLE 14. GENERAL 



14.1 Evidence of Awards 


 Awards 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. 

 14.2 No Individual Rights  

 Nothing in the Plan or any Award 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. 

 14.3 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 Award
  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. 

 14.4 No Rights as a Stockholder  

 No Option or Stock Award 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 Award. 

 14.5 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










14.6 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 Awards granted
  to Participants employed in such countries and to meet the objectives of the
  Plan. 

 14.7 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. 

 14.8 Severability  

 If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to
  be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person,
  or would disqualify the Plan or any Award 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 Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
  jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award
  shall remain in full force and effect. 

 14.9 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 15. 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.
