                           WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                           NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

                             1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that on AUGUST 13, 1999, WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a
California corporation (the "Company") has granted to CHARLES H. BLACK (the
"Optionee") an option to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock of the Company,
no par value, at a price of $0.30 per share, upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter stated, to all of which the Optionee, by the acceptance hereof,
assents.

1. Option Period and Conditions on Exercise.

   The option shall not be exercisable with respect to any of the shares subject
   to the option after AUGUST 13, 2004 and the option shall not be exercisable
   with respect to fractional shares.

   This option vests as follows:

      As to 12,500 shares on AUGUST 13, 1999

2. Effect of Termination of Employment/Effect of Death.

   g.   If the Optionee is an officer, employee or director of the Company and
        ceases to be such for any reason other than death or termination for
        cause, Optionee may exercise this option in accordance with its terms
        only for a period of ninety days after such cessation (but not beyond
        the Option Period). Any exercise of this option after such cessation may
        be only to the extent of the full number of shares the Optionee was
        entitled to purchase under this option on the Date of such cessation,
        plus a portion of the additional number of shares, if any, he would have
        become entitled to purchase on the next anniversary Date of the Date of
        grant of the option following such cessation, such portion to be
        determined by multiplying such additional number of shares by a
        fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the
        anniversary Date of the Date of grant preceding such cessation to the
        Date of such cessation and the denominator of which is 365. Such portion
        shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole share.

   h.   If the termination of the Optionee's position as an officer or employee
        of the Company is for cause (as determined in the sole judgment of the
        Board of Directors), this option shall thereupon be cancelled and the
        Optionee shall have no right to exercise any part of this option after
        such termination.

   i.   If the Optionee dies, this option continues in effect and may be
        exercised in accordance with its terms for twelve months from the date
        of the Optionee's death (but not beyond the Option


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

        Period) by the executor or administrator of the estate, or in the event
        there is none, then by the person or persons to whom the optionee's
        rights under this option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and
        distribution. Any exercise of this option after such death may be only
        to the extent of the full number of shares the optionee was entitled to
        purchase under this option on the date of death, plus a portion of the
        additional number of shares, if any, he would have become entitled to
        purchase on the next anniversary date of the date of grant of the option
        following such death, such portion to be determined by multiplying such
        additional number of shares by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
        be the number of days from the anniversary Date of the Date of grant
        preceding such death to the Date of death and the denominator of which
        shall be 365. Such portion shall be rounded, if necessary, to the
        nearest whole share.

3. Manner of Exercise.

   This option shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company
   addressed in the manner specified in paragraph 7, specifying the number of
   shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full in cash, or in
   whole or in part in Common Stock, as provided in paragraph 9, for the shares
   purchased.

4. Nontransferability of Option.

   This option shall not be transferable except to the executor or administrator
   of the Optionee's estate or to the Optionee's heirs or legatees, and shall be
   exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee. This option
   may, however, be surrendered to the Company for cancellation for such
   consideration and upon such terms as may be mutually agreed upon by the
   Company and the Optionee.

5. Adjustment of Shares and Price Per Share.

   The number of shares subject to this option shall be adjusted as follows:

   k.   In the event the Company's outstanding common stock is changed by any
        stock dividend, stock split, or combination of shares, the number of
        shares subject to this option shall be proportionately adjusted, without
        change in the aggregate purchase price.

   l.   Except as provided in subsection (d) hereof, in the event of any merger,
        consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with any other
        corporation or corporations, there shall be substituted on an equitable
        basis, for each share of common stock then subject to this option, an
        option for the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities to
        which the holders of common stock of the Company will be entitled
        pursuant to the transaction.

   m.   In the event of any other relevant change in the capitalization of the
        Company, this option and the purchase price per share shall be equitably
        adjusted.

   n.   In the event of a merger described in Section 368 (a)(2)(E) of the
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in


                                       4

        which the Company is the surviving corporation, this option shall
        terminate and thereupon become null and void but only if the controlling
        corporation shall agree to exchange its options for this option; but the
        Optionee shall have the right, immediately prior to such merger, to
        exercise this option, without regard to any otherwise applicable
        restriction as to time of exercise, other than expiration of the Option
        Period.

   o.   Upon the dissolution of the Company, this option shall terminate and
        thereafter become null and void; but the Optionee shall have the right,
        immediately prior to such dissolution, to exercise this option without
        regard to any otherwise applicable restriction as to time of exercise,
        other than expiration of the Option Period.

6. Compliance with Applicable Law.

   The exercise of this option is subject to the obtaining of any consent or
   approval of any governmental or other regulatory body which the Board of
   Directors, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable.

7. Other Provisions.

   g.   The holder of this option shall not be entitled to any rights of a
        shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares subject to this
        option until such shares have been paid for in full and issued to him.

   h.   Nothing in this Certificate shall be construed as limiting any rights
        which the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

        may have to terminate at any time the employment of the Optionee.

   i.   Notice to the Company hereunder shall be addressed to the attention of
        its Secretary at its corporate office at 5861 Edison Place, Carlsbad,
        California 92008.

8. Incorporation of Plan by Reference.

   EXCEPT AS MODIFIED OR AMPLIFIED BY THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, ALL
   OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1995 STOCK
   OPTION PLAN (THE "PLAN"), A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT A,

   by delivering to the Company a number of shares of the Common Stock of the
   Company, which the Optionee has owned for at least six months, with a Fair
