     $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company at a
     price per share, both as reflected in the cover page, in the manner and
     subject to the conditions provided herein. The Option is not intended
     to be an Incentive Stock Option, as defined in Section 422 of the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to any shares
     subject hereto.

2.   TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option shall become exercisable as
     provided on the cover page. The portion(s) of the Option designated on
     the cover page will become exercisable on the date(s) set forth thereon
     only to the extent that the Optionee is employed by the Company on such
     date(s). Once exercisable, the Option shall remain exercisable until
     such Option terminates pursuant to Section 3.b. of this Agreement.

3.   INCORPORATION OF STOCK PLAN. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to
     the Plan, which Plan is by this reference incorporated herein and made a
     part hereof. The material provisions of the Plan applicable to the
     Option are as follows:

     A. METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option shall be exercisable in whole
        or in part to the extent then exercisable by written notice delivered
        to the Office of General Counsel of the Company stating the number of
        shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised,
        accompanied by payment (i) by check or, in the discretion of the
        Compensation and Organization Committee, by either (ii) the delivery
        to the Company of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Optionee
        having a fair market value equal to the exercise price of all shares
        of Common Stock subject to such exercise or (iii) by any combination
        of the foregoing.

     B. TERMINATION OF OPTION. The Option, to the extent exercisable on the
        date that the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company, shall
        terminate in all events on the earliest to occur of the following:

        (i)   the Expiration Date specified in the cover page; or

        (ii)  three months after the date on which the Optionee ceases to be
              an employee of the Company for any reason other than death or
              disability, or, if the Optionee dies within the three-month
              period after such termination of employment, then three months
              after his or her death; or

        (iii) twelve months after the date on which the Optionee ceases to
              be an employee of the Company due to death; or

        (iv)  twelve months after the date on which the Optionee ceases to

<PAGE>

              after his or her termination of employment due to disability,
              then three months after his or her death.

     C. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. The Option is non-transferable by the
        Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
        pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (as defined in the
        Plan) or to a Permissible Transferee (as defined in the Plan), and
        shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the
        Optionee or by a Permissible Transferee. In the event of the
        Optionee's death, a Permissible Transferee or the executor or
        administrator of the Optionee's estate, as applicable, may exercise
        the Option.

     D. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, ETC. If the Company shall
        at any time change the number of issued shares of Common Stock
        without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividends
        or stock splits), there shall be a corresponding adjustment as to the
        number of shares covered under the Option and in the purchase price
        per share, to the end that the Optionee shall retain the Optionee's
        proportionate interest without change in the total purchase price
        under the Option.

4.   OPTION CONDITIONED ON ACCEPTANCE. This Agreement shall be void and of
     no effect unless a copy hereof is executed by the Optionee and returned
     to the Office of General Counsel of the Company not later than 30 days
     after the day this Agreement is mailed or delivered to the Optionee,
     provided, however, that if the Optionee dies within such 30-day period
     this Agreement shall be effective notwithstanding the fact that it is
     not executed by the Optionee.EXHIBIT 10.19

Dears Sirs:

            Reference is made to that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement
between Alpha Venture Capital, Inc. ("Alpha") and Earth Search Sciences, Inc.
("Earth Search") dated as of May 23, 2001 (the "Agreement"). By way of
clarification, the covenant contained in Section 5.6 of the Agreement is
intended to cover transactions which affect the corporate existence of Earth
Search, including without limitation a sale of all or substantially all of the
capital stock or assets of Earth Search or a merger, acquisition or
consolidation involving Earth Search in which Earth Search is not the surviving
corporation. By way of further clarification, it is not the intention of Alpha
and Earth Search that Section 5.6 of the Agreement has been breached because
Earth Search has received a "going concern" qualification with respect to its
audited financial statements.

            Please signify you acknowledgement of and agreement with the
foregoing the signing this letter where indicated and returning it to the
undersigned.
                                                Sincerely,
