to make such payment in whole or in part.

<PAGE>

                  (ii) use for his own benefit or give to any person not
         authorized by Employer to receive it, any plans or specifications,
         scientific know-how, formulas, technical data or information, clinical
         study protocols or data, patient or biologic information, customer
         lists, data, study, table, report, or the like owned by Employer, or
         any copy thereof; or

                  (iii) use for his own benefit or give to any persons not
         authorized by Employer to receive it any information that is not
         generally known to anyone other than Employer, or that is designated by
         Employer as "Limited", "Private", or "Confidential", or similarly
         designated.

This restriction will cease with respect to any item of proprietary or
confidential information that becomes available to the public other than through
fault of the Employee.

         (b) Employee shall keep himself informed of Employer's policies and
procedures for safeguarding Employer's property, including proprietary data and
information, and will strictly comply with those policies and procedures at all
times during which the restrictions imposed by this paragraph 11 remain in
effect. He will not, except when authorized by Employer or required for the
performance of his duties hereunder, remove any of Employer's physical property
from Employer's premises. He will return to Employer, immediately upon
termination of employment, all of Employer's physical property in his possession
or control.

         12. Disability. If Employee is unable to perform his services by reason
of illness or incapacity, the compensation payable shall be as follows:

         (a) for any initial period of incapacity of three consecutive months or
less, compensation to Employee shall not be affected in any way;

         (b) the compensation payable to Employee during the second consecutive
three-month period of incapacity shall be one-half of the compensation provided
for in paragraph 6, above; and

         (c) during the third consecutive three-month period of incapacity,

provided, however, that no such compensation shall be payable with respect to
any day after the termination of this Agreement; and provided further, that to
the extent any disability insurance provided by or through the Employer pays
part or all of the compensation stated above, the Employer shall have no
obligation to make payment thereof to the Employee under this paragraph 12.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such illness or incapacity does not cease to
exist within such nine-consecutive-month period, as determined by a physician
selected by the Employer, Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further
compensation from Employer and Employer may thereupon terminate this Agreement.
If Employee desires to return to work, but there is a dispute as to whether he
is able to perform his duties hereunder, the issue shall be submitted to
arbitration as provided in paragraph 25 hereof.

Employer for reasons other than cause as defined in paragraph 13, or is
terminated by Employee for good reason (as hereinafter defined), the Employee

directly or indirectly, of securities of the Employer representing 50 percent or
more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the
Employer; or (iii) any merger or reorganization of the Employer whether or not
another entity is the survivor, pursuant to which the holders, as a group, of
all of the shares of the Employer outstanding prior to the transaction hold, as
a group, less than 50 percent of the combined voting power of the Employer or
any successor company outstanding after the transaction.

accordance with paragraphs 14(c)(ii) or (iii), and Employee directly or
indirectly serves or acts during the one year period following the date of

other rights are expressly declared non-assignable and non-transferable except
as specifically provided herein.

         16. Indemnification. Employer shall indemnify Employee and hold him
harmless from liability for, and shall advance to him on a current basis any
expenses incurred in connection with, acts, omissions, or decisions made by him

during the term of this Agreement coverage for Employee in his capacity as an
officer and director of Employer of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates under
any insurance policy now in force or hereafter obtained during the term of this
Agreement insuring officers and directors of Employer, in amounts acceptable to

upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors,

the only agreement or understanding between the parties hereto with respect to
the employment of Employee by Employer. All negotiations, commitments, and
understandings acceptable to both parties have been incorporated herein. No

         19. Modification of Contract. This Agreement cannot be modified by
tender, acceptance or endorsement of any instrument of payment, including check.

more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All headings in this
Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference and shall not affect its
meaning or interpretation.

         21. Cooperation. The parties shall deal with each other in good faith,
good faith meaning honesty in fact and the observance of all commercial
standards of fair dealing and usages of trade, which are regularly observed
within the industry. In this regard, Employer shall not engage in any course of
conduct that is oppressive to Employee and intended by Employer to force
Employee's resignation.

         22. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any

or at such other address as any party shall specify to the other party in
writing.

         24. Arbitration. In the event of dispute or controversy between the
parties as to the performance hereof, this Agreement shall be and remain in full
force and effect and all terms hereof shall continue to be complied with by both
parties, it shall be submitted to two arbitrators, one to be appointed by each,
and if those arbitrators do not agree, they shall select a third disinterested
and competent person to act with them, and the decision of the three, or a
majority of them, shall be final and conclusive. If either party does not
appoint an arbitrator as aforesaid within 90 days after receipt of notice to the
other that it desires arbitration, which notice shall state the name and address
of the arbitrator appointed by such other, and does not within such period
furnish to such other party the name and address of the second arbitrator, then
the arbitrator first named shall appoint a disinterested and competent
arbitrator for the party thus

                                       7
<PAGE>

defaulting, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall select a third to act
with them as aforesaid and with like effect. Cost of arbitration shall be borne
by the parties equally. Judgment upon the reward rendered may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

         25. Enforcement. Employee acknowledges that any remedy at law for
breach of paragraphs 10 and 11 would be inadequate, acknowledges that Employer
would be irreparably damaged by an actual or threatened breach thereof, and
agrees that Employer shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee
from any actual or threatened breach of paragraphs 10 and 11 as well as any
further appropriate equitable relief without any bond or other security being
required. Employer may pursue enforcement of paragraphs 10 or 11 by commencing
an action at law or in equity without first pursuing arbitration pursuant to
paragraph 25 of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, each of the
parties hereto shall be entitled to any remedies available in equity or by
statute with respect to the breach of the terms of this Agreement by the other
party.

         26. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the state of California.

         27. Severability. If and to the extent that any court of competent
jurisdiction holds any provision or any part thereof of this Agreement to be
invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall in no way affect the validity of
the remainder of this Agreement.

         28. Waiver. No failure by an party to insist upon the strict
performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement or
to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof shall constitute
a waiver of any such breach or of any other covenant, agreement, term, or
condition.

                           shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local
                           income and employment taxes required to be withheld
                           in connection with such purchase and (ii) to the
                           Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased
                           shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to
                           complete the sale transaction; or

         (c) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the
person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right
to exercise this option.

         (d) For purposes of this Agreement, the Exercise Date shall be the date
on which the executed Exercise Notice shall have been delivered to the Company.
Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified above is
utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Option Price for
the purchased shares must accompany such Exercise Notice.

         (e) For all valuation purposes under this Agreement, the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on any relevant date shall be determined in
accordance with the following provisions:

                  (i)      If the Common Stock is not at the time listed or
                           admitted to trading on any national securities
                           exchange but is traded on the Nasdaq National Market,
                           the Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the
                           highest "bid" and lowest "offered" quotations of a
                           share of Common Stock on such date (or if none, on
                           the most recent date on which there were bid and
                           offered quotations of a share of Common Stock), as
                           reported by the Nasdaq National Market or any
                           successor system.

                  (ii)     If the Common Stock is at the time listed or admitted
                           to trading on any national securities exchange, then
                           the Fair Market Value shall be the closing selling
                           price per share on the date in question on the
                           securities exchange, as such price is officially
                           quoted in the composite tape of transactions on such
                           exchange. If there is no reported sale of Common
                           Stock on such exchange on the date in question, then
                           the Fair Market Value shall be the closing selling
                           price on the exchange on the last preceding date for
                           which such quotation exists.

                  (iii)    If the Common Stock is not listed on such date on any
                           national securities exchange nor included in the
                           Nasdaq National Market, but is traded in the
                           over-the-counter market, the highest "bid" quotation
                           of a share of Common Stock on such date (or if none,
                           on the most recent date on which there were bid
                           quotations of a share of Common Stock), as reported
                           on the Nasdaq Smallcap Market or the NASD OTC
                           Bulletin Board, as applicable.

         (f) Upon such exercise, the Company shall issue and cause to be
delivered with all reasonable dispatch (and in any event within three business
days of such exercise) to or upon the written order of the Optionee at its
address, and in the name of the Optionee, a certificate or certificates for the
number of full Option Shares issuable upon the exercise together with such other
property (including cash) and securities as may then be deliverable upon such
exercise. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued
and the Optionee shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
Option Shares as of the Exercise Date.

         2. The Optionee acknowledges that the shares subject to this option
have not and will not be registered as of the date of exercise of this option
under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Optionee
acknowledges that this option and the shares issuable on exercise of the option,
when and if issued, are and will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule
144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any
other applicable state registration requirements. Except as provided herein, the
Company is under no obligation to register the securities under the Securities
Act or under applicable state statutes. In the absence of such a registration or
an available exemption from registration, sale of the Option Shares may be
practicably impossible. The Optionee shall confirm to the Company the
representations set forth above in connection with the exercise of all or any
portion of this option. The Company agrees to register or qualify the Option
Shares, but not this option, for resale as follows:

         (a) If, at any time during the period in which the rights represented
by this Agreement are exercisable, the Company proposes to file a registration
statement or notification under the Securities Act for the primary or secondary
sale of any debt or equity security, it will give written notice at least 30
days prior to the filing of such registration statement or notification to the
Optionee of its intention to do so. The Company agrees that, after receiving
written notice from the Optionee of its desire to include its Option Shares in
such proposed registration statement or notification, the Company shall afford
the Optionee the opportunity to have its Option Shares included therein.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 2(a), the Company shall have
the right, at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this
paragraph (whether or not a written request for inclusion of the Option Shares
shall be made) to elect not to file any such proposed registration statement or
notification or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective
date thereof. In no event shall the Company be obligated to include the Option
Shares in any registration statement or notification under this paragraph 2(a)
if, in the opinion of the underwriter, the inclusion of the Option Shares in
such registration statement or notification would be materially detrimental to
the proposed offering of debt or equity securities pursuant to which the Company
gave notice to the holders under this paragraph; provided, that the Option
Shares shall not be excluded from any such registration statement or
notification if debt or equity securities of the Company held by any other
persons are, or will be, included in such registration statement or
notification.

         (b) In connection with the filing of a registration statement,
notification, or post-effective amendment under this section, the Company
covenants and agrees:

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (i)      to pay all expenses of such registration statement,
                           notification, or post-effective amendment, including,
                           without limitation, printing charges, legal fees and
                           disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky
                           expenses, accounting fees and filing fees, but not
                           including legal fees and disbursements of counsel to
                           the Optionee and any sales commissions on Option
                           Shares offered and sold;

                  (ii)     to take all necessary action which may reasonably be
                           required in qualifying or registering the Option
                           Shares included in a registration statement,
                           notification or post-effective amendment for the
                           offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws
                           of such states as requested by the Optionee; provided
                           that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or
                           file any general consent to service of process or to
                           qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under
                           the laws of any such jurisdiction; and

                  (iii)    to utilize its best efforts to keep the same
                           effective on a continuous or shelf basis until all
                           registered Option Shares of the Optionee have been
                           sold.

         (c) The Optionee shall cooperate with the Company and shall furnish
such information as the Company may request in connection with any such
registration statement, notification or post-effective amendment hereunder, on
which the Company shall be entitled to rely, and the Optionee shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Company (and all other persons who may be subject to
liability under the Securities Act or otherwise) from and against any and all
claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses of every
nature and character (including, but without limitation, all attorneys' fees and
amounts paid in settlement of any claim, action, or suit) which arise or result
directly or indirectly from any untrue statement of a material fact furnished by
the Optionee in connection with such registration or qualification, or from the
failure of the Optionee to furnish material information in connection with the
facts required to be included in such registration statement, notification or
post-effective amendment necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.

         3. The Company, during the term of this Agreement, will obtain from the
appropriate regulatory agencies any requisite authorization in order to issue
and sell such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Agreement.

         4. The number of Option Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
option and the Option Price per share shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time subject to the following terms. If the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares of the Company through reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock
split, the Company or its successors and assigns shall make an appropriate and
proportionate adjustment in the number or kind of shares, and the per-share
Option Price thereof, which may be issued to the Optionee under this Agreement
upon exercise of the options granted under this Agreement. The purchase rights
represented by this option shall not be exercisable with respect to a fraction
of a share of Common Stock. Any fractional shares of Common Stock arising from
the dilution or other adjustment in the number of shares subject to this option
shall rounded-up to the nearest whole share.

         5. The Company covenants and agrees that all Option Shares which may be
delivered upon the exercise of this option will, upon delivery, be free from all
taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the purchase thereof; provided, that
the Company shall have no obligation with respect to any income tax liability of
the Optionee and the Company may, in its discretion, withhold such amount or
require the

                                       4
<PAGE>

Optionee to make such provision of funds or other consideration as the Company
deems necessary to satisfy any income tax withholding obligation under federal
or state law.

         6. The Company agrees at all times to reserve or hold available a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to cover the number of Option Shares
issuable upon the exercise of this and all other options of like tenor then
outstanding.

         7. This option shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights
or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights
whatsoever, except the rights herein expressed, and no dividends shall be
payable or accrue in respect of this option or the interest represented hereby
or the Option Shares purchasable hereunder until or unless, and except to the
extent that, this option shall be exercised.

         8. The Company may deem and treat the registered owner of this option
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

         9. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be
invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering any other provisions
contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions shall
be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or
unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

         10. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the state of California, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof.

         11. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be
binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the person to whom an
option is granted hereunder, and such person's heirs, executors, administrators,
legatees, personal representatives, assignees, and transferees.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this option to be executed
on the 4th day of June 2003, by the signature of its duly authorized officer.

                                            VIRAL GENETICS, INC.

                                                Duly Authorized Officer

         The undersigned Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
foregoing option and acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions set
forth in the option.

                                 Exercise Notice
                   (to be signed only upon exercise of Option)

TO:      Viral Genetics, Inc.

         The Optionee, holder of the attached option, hereby irrevocable elects
to exercise the purchase rights represented by the option for, and to purchase
thereunder, ________________________________ shares of common stock of Viral
Genetics, Inc., and herewith makes payment therefor, and requests that the
certificate(s) for such shares be delivered to the Optionee at:

         _______________________________________________________________________

         _______________________________________________________________________

         _______________________________________________________________________

         If acquired without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("Securities Act"), the Optionee represents that the Common Stock is
being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in connection with any
distribution thereof without registration or other compliance under the
Securities Act and applicable state statutes, and that the Optionee has no
direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting
of such an undertaking. The Optionee understands that the Common Stock has not
been registered, but is being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under
the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions by
an issuer not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the
Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with these
exemptions. The Optionee acknowledges that the Common Stock must be held and may
not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Company is under no obligation to register the Common Stock under
the Securities Act, except as provided in the Agreement for the option. The
certificates representing the Common Stock will bear a legend restricting
transfer, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
statutes.

         The Optionee agrees and acknowledges that this purported exercise of
the option is conditioned on, and subject to, any compliance with requirements
of applicable federal and state securities laws deemed necessary by the Company.

         DATED this ________ day of _______________________________, __________.
