    FORM
      OF

    NONQUALIFIED
      STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     

    This
      NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Option Agreement”), dated as of the
  _ 
      day of
      ______, 20__ (the “Grant Date”), is between Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
      Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                    
      (the
“Optionee”), a [choose
      one]
      [key
      employee, director, advisor and/or consultant] of the Company or of a Subsidiary
      of the Company (a “Related Corporation”), pursuant to the Transdel
      Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2007 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the
“Plan”).

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Company desires to give the Optionee the opportunity to purchase shares
      of
      common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (“Common Shares”) in accordance
      with the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached
      hereto;

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and
      for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to
      be
      legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

    

    1. Grant
      of Option.
      The
      Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the “Option”) to
      purchase all or any part of an aggregate of ________ Common Shares. The Option
      is in all respects limited and conditioned as hereinafter provided, and is
      subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan now in effect
      and as it may be amended from time to time (but only to the extent that such
      amendments apply to outstanding options). Such terms and conditions are
      incorporated herein by reference, made a part hereof, and shall control in
      the
      event of any conflict with any other terms of this Option Agreement. The Option
      granted hereunder is intended to be a nonqualified stock option (“NQSO”) and
not
      an
      incentive stock option (“ISO”) as such term is defined in section 422 of the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

    

    2. Exercise
      Price.
      The
      exercise price of the Common Shares covered by this Option shall be $1.00 per
      share. It is the determination of the committee administering the Plan (the
      “Committee”) that on the Grant Date the exercise price was not less than the
      greater of (i) 100% of the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in the Plan) of a
      Common Share, or (ii) the par value of a Common Share.

    

       3. Term.
      Unless
      earlier terminated pursuant to any provision of the Plan or of this Option
      Agreement, this Option shall expire on __________ __, 20__ (the “Expiration
      Date”). This Option shall not be exercisable on or after the Expiration
      Date.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    4.
       Exercise
      of Option.
      The
      Optionee shall have the right to purchase from the Company, on and after the
      following dates, the following number of Common Shares, provided the Optionee
      has not terminated his or her service as of the applicable vesting
      date:

    

    
      	
              Date
                Installment Becomes

            	 	 
	
              Exercisable

            	 	
              Number
                of Option Shares

            
	 	 	 
	 	 	
                                  
                ________ Shares

            
	 	 	
              an
                additional ________ Shares

            
	 	 	
              an
                additional ________ Shares

            
	 	 	
              an
                additional ________ Shares

            

    

    

    The
      Committee may accelerate any exercise date of the Option, in its discretion,
      if
      it deems such acceleration to be desirable. Once the Option becomes exercisable,
      it will remain exercisable until it is exercised or until it
      terminates.

    

    5. Method
      of Exercising Option.
      Subject
      to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and the Plan, the Option
      may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its principal office.
      The
      form of such notice is attached hereto and shall state the election to exercise
      the Option and the number of whole shares with respect to which it is being
      exercised; shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option;
      and shall be accompanied by payment of the full exercise price of such shares.
      Only full shares will be issued. 

    

    [The
      Committee should select which of the following methods of payment will be
      permitted:]

    

    The
      exercise price shall be paid to the Company -

    

    (a) in
      cash,
      or by certified check, bank draft, or postal or express money
      order;

    

    (b) through
      the delivery of Common Shares;

    

    (c) by
      delivering a properly executed notice of exercise of the Option to the Company
      and a broker, with irrevocable instructions to the broker promptly to deliver
      to
      the Company the amount necessary to pay the exercise price of the
      Option;

    

    (d) in
      Common
      Shares newly acquired by the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option;
      or

    

    (e) in
      any
      combination of (a), (b), (c), or (d) above.

    

    [In
      the
      event the exercise price is paid, in whole or in part, with Common Shares,
      the
      portion of the exercise price so paid shall be equal to the Fair Market Value
      of
      the Common Shares surrendered on the date of exercise.]

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Upon
      receipt of notice of exercise and payment, the Company shall deliver a
      certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares with respect to
      which
      the Option is so exercised. The Optionee shall obtain the rights of a
      shareholder upon receipt of a certificate(s) representing such Common
      Shares.

    

    Such
      certificate(s) shall be registered in the name of the person so exercising
      the
      Option (or, if the Option is exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee
      so
      requests in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name
      of
      the Optionee and the Optionee’s spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship) and
      shall be delivered as provided above to, or upon the written order of, the
      person exercising the Option. In the event the Option is exercised by any person
      or persons after the death or disability (as determined in accordance with
      section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied
      by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the
      Option. All Common Shares that are purchased upon exercise of the Option as
      provided herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

    

    Upon
      exercise of the Option, Optionee shall be responsible for all employment and
      income taxes then or thereafter due (whether Federal, State or local), and
      if
      the Optionee does not remit to the Company sufficient cash (or, with the consent
      of the Committee, Common Shares to satisfy all applicable withholding
      requirements, the Company shall be entitled to satisfy any withholding
      requirements for any such tax by disposing of Common Shares at exercise,
      withholding cash from Optionee’s salary or other compensation or such other
      means as the Committee considers appropriate to the fullest extent permitted
      by
      applicable law. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall impair or limit the
      Company’s rights with respect to satisfying withholding obligations under
      Section 10 of the Plan.

    

    6. Transferability
      of Option.
      This
      Option is not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, by the Optionee
      other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
      lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee
      or, in the event of his or her disability, by his or her guardian or legal
      representative.

    

    7. Termination
      of Service by Optionee.
      If the
      Optionee’s service with the Company and all Related Corporations is terminated
      by the Optionee for any reason other than death or disability prior to the
      Expiration Date, this Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number
      of
      Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on
      the
      date of such termination of service by the Optionee at any time prior to the
      earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date
      of
      such termination of service. [The
      Plan provides for this period as a default. The Committee may provide for
      different exercise periods in any particular NQSO.]
      Any part
      of the Option that was not exercisable immediately before the Optionee’s
      termination of service shall terminate at that time.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    8. Disability.
      If the
      Optionee becomes disabled (as determined in accordance with section 22(e)(3)
      of
      the Code) during his or her service and, prior to the Expiration Date, the
      Optionee’s service is terminated as a consequence of such disability, this
      Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of Common Shares with
      respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date of such
      termination of service by the Optionee or by the optionee’s legal
      representative, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date
      or
      (ii) ninety (90) days after such termination of service. Any part of the Option
      that was not exercisable immediately before the Optionee’s termination of
      service shall terminate at that time.

    

    9. Termination
      of Service by Company without Cause or by Optionee with Good
      Reason.
      If the
      Optionee’s service with the Company and all Related Corporations is terminated
      by the Company for any reason other than Cause (or is terminated by the Optionee
      for Good Reason) prior to the Expiration Date, this Option may be exercised,
      to
      the extent of the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee
      could have exercised it on the date of such termination of employment by the
      Optionee at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii)
      one year after such termination of service. Any part of the Option that was
      not
      exercisable immediately before the Optionee’s termination of employment shall
      terminate at that time.

    

    10. Death.
      If the
      Optionee dies during his or her service and prior to the Expiration Date, or
      if
      the Optionee’s service is terminated for any reason (as described in Paragraphs
      7, 8 and 9) and the Optionee dies following his or her termination of service
      but prior to the earlier of the Expiration Date or the expiration of the period
      determined under Paragraph 7, 8 or 9 (as applicable to the Optionee), this
      Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of Common Shares with
      respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date of his or
      her
      death by the Optionee’s estate, personal representative or beneficiary who
      acquired the right to exercise this Option by bequest or inheritance or by
      reason of the Optionee’s death, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the
      Expiration Date or (ii) one year after the date of the Optionee’s death. Any
      part of the Option that was not exercisable immediately before the Optionee’s
      death shall terminate at that time. 

    

    11. Termination
      for Cause.
      If the
      Optionee’s service with the Company and all Related Corporations is terminated
      by the Company for Cause prior to the Expiration Date, any unexercised portion
      of this Option shall immediately terminate at that time.

    

    12. Securities
      Matters.
      (a) If,
      at any time, counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing,
      registration or qualification of the Common Shares subject to the Option upon
      any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or
      approval of any governmental or regulatory body, or that the disclosure of
      non-public information or the satisfaction of any other condition is necessary
      as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Common
      Shares hereunder, such Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless
      such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval, or satisfaction
      of such condition shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable
      to the Board of Directors. The Company shall be under no obligation to apply
      for
      or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification, or to satisfy such
      condition. The Committee shall inform the Optionee in writing of any decision
      to
      defer or prohibit the exercise of an Option. During the period that the
      effectiveness of the exercise of an Option has been deferred or prohibited,
      the
      Optionee may, by written notice, withdraw the Optionee’s decision to exercise
      and obtain a refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) The
      Company may require: (i) the Optionee (or any other person exercising the Option
      in the case of the Optionee’s death or Disability) as a condition of exercising
      the Option, to give written assurances, in substance and form satisfactory
      to
      the Company, to the effect that such person is acquiring the Common Shares
      subject to the Option for his or her own account for investment and not with
      any
      present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to make
      such other representations or covenants; and (ii) that any certificates for
      Common Shares delivered in connection with the exercise of the Option bear
      such
      legends, in each case as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, in order
      to
      comply with federal and applicable state securities laws, to comply with
      covenants or representations made by the Company in connection with any public
      offering of its Common Shares or otherwise. The Optionee specifically
      understands and agrees that the Common Shares, if and when issued upon exercise
      of the Option, may be “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule
      144 under the Securities Act of 1933 and, accordingly, the Optionee may be
      required to hold the shares indefinitely unless they are registered under such
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from such registration
      is
      available.

    

    (c) The
      Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares
      covered by the Option (including, without limitation, any rights to receive
      dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares) until the
      date
      of issue of a stock certificate to the Optionee for such Common Shares. No
      adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record
      date
      is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

    

    13. Governing
      Law.
      This
      Option Agreement shall be governed by the applicable Code provisions to the
      maximum extent possible. Otherwise, the laws of the State of Delaware (without
      reference to the principles of conflict of laws) shall govern the operation
      of,
      and the rights of the Optionee under, the Plan and Options granted
      thereunder.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement
      to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer, and the Optionee has
      hereunto set his or her hand and seal, all as of the ____ day of __________,
      2007.

          payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company.
          The Base

        2.2  Performance
          and Review.
          Executive’s performance will be reviewed on no less than an annual basis.

         

        2.3  Discretionary
          Bonus.
          Executive is eligible to receive an annual bonus during his employment.
          This
          bonus will be based on the following two factors, each of which shall be
          given
          equal weight in determining the bonus amount Executive will receive that
          year:

         

      

    

    
      (a) The
        Company’s performance, based on the performance criteria established by the
        Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion; and

       

      (b) The
        Executive’s job performance, based on the performance criteria established by
        mutual agreement of Executive and the Chief Executive Officer, subject to
        review
        and approval by the Board. 

       

    

    
      
        2.4  Fringe
          Benefits.
          Executive and Executive’s family will be provided with group medical and dental
          insurance through the Company’s plans. Medical and dental benefits will commence
          on the Commencement Date. In the event that no benefit plans are in place
          at
          that time, Company will reimburse Executive for COBRA coverage until such time
          as Executive is covered under the Company’s group medical and dental plans. For
          purposes of this Section 2.4, family shall include Executive’ spouse and
          dependents under the age of 24 living in the same household as Executive.
          

         

        2.5  Vacation
          and Sick Days.
          Executive shall be entitled to four (4) work-weeks of paid time off
          (“PTO”)
          per
          year commencing with the Commencement Date, provided, however, that Executive’s
          accrued and unused PTO shall not exceed a total of five workweeks. This
          PTO will
          be in addition to normal Company holidays, which will be determined at
          the
          discretion of the Company from time to time. Thereafter, Executive will
          not
          continue to accrue PTO benefits until he has used enough PTO time to fall
          below
          this maximum amount. Any accrued but unused PTO will be paid to Executive,
          on a
          pro rata basis, at the time that his employment is terminated. In addition
          to
          PTO, the Executive will be entitled to normal Company holidays. 

         

        2.6  Withholding.
          The
          Company may deduct from any compensation payable to Executive (including
          payments made pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement in connection with
          or
          following termination of employment) amounts sufficient to cover Executive’s
          share of applicable federal, state and/or local income tax withholding,
          old-age
          and survivors’ and other social security payments, state disability and other
          insurance premiums and payments.

         

        2.7  Stock
          Compensation.
          At the
          sole discretion of the Board, Executive may be eligible to receive awards
          under
          the Company’s Stock Compensation Plan.

      shall not be entitled to any benefits under any such plan or
      policy.

      to Section 4.4.1, in the event Executive is terminated without Cause, the

        Executive, in the course of his duties, will have access to and become
        acquainted with financial, accounting, statistical and personal data of
        customers of Company and of their affiliates. All such data is confidential
        and
        will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, or used by Executive in any
        way,

        Company) or at any time thereafter.

       

      5.3  Inevitable
        Disclosure.
        After

        Executive will not accept employment with any direct competitor of Company
        for a
        period of one (1) year, where the new employment is likely to result in the
        inevitable disclosure of Company’s trade secrets or confidential information, or
        it would be impossible for Executive to perform his new job without using
        or
        disclosing trade secrets or confidential information.

       

      5.4  Limited
        Exceptions.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, no information will be considered trade secret
        or
        confidential to the extent it is or becomes publicly available without breach
        of
        this Agreement by Executive, is rightfully received by Executive without
        obligations of confidentiality, or is ordered released or disclosed by court
        order, lawful process or government authority.

       

      5.5  No
        Solicitation.
        Executive agrees that he will not, during the Term and for one (1) year
        thereafter if terminated without Cause or with Good Reason or for two (2)
        years
        thereafter if terminated with for Cause or without Good Reason, encourage
        or
        solicit any other employee of Company to terminate his or her employment
        for any
        reason, nor will he assist others to do so.

       

      5.6  Intellectual
        Properties.
        The
        Executive has signed a separate innovation, proprietary information and
        confidentiality agreement with the Company. 

       

      5.7  Continuing
        Effect.
        The
        provisions of this Section
        5
        will
        remain in effect after the Termination Date.

    6.11.1 Scope.
      To the
      fullest extent permitted by law, Executive and the Company agree to the binding
      arbitration of any and all controversies, claims or disputes between them
      arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the employment

    6.11.2 Arbitration
      Procedure.
      To
      commence any such arbitration proceeding, the party commencing the arbitration
      must provide the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming
      the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the
      substance of such claims. In no event shall this notice for arbitration be
      made
      after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on
      such
      claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration
      will be conducted in Los Angeles, California, by a single neutral arbitrator
      and
      in accordance with the then-current rules for resolution of employment disputes
      of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).
      The
      Arbitrator is to be selected by the mutual agreement of the Parties. If the
      Parties cannot agree, the Superior Court will select the arbitrator. The parties
      are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their
      choosing. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter any award that could
      be
      entered by a judge of the trial court of the State of California, and only
      such
      power, and shall follow the law. The award shall be binding and the Parties
      agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The
      arbitrator shall issue the award in writing and therein state the essential
      findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Judgment on the award
      may
      be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Company shall bear
      the
      costs of the arbitration filing and hearing fees and the cost of the
      arbitrator.

     

    
      6.12  This
        Agreement shall not be terminated by any voluntary or involuntary dissolution
        of
        the Company resulting from either a merger or consolidation in which the
        Company
        is not the consolidated or surviving corporation, or a transfer of all or
        substantially all of the assets of the Company. In the event of any such
        merger
        or consolidation or transfer of assets, Executive’s rights, benefits and
        obligations hereunder shall be assigned to the surviving or resulting
        corporation or the transferee of the Company’s assets.
