to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock par value $0.0001 (“Shares”) set

     2. Exercise of Option. The Options shall be exercisable by delivery of an Exercise
Notice in the form attached as Exhibit A which shall state the election to exercise the
Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other
representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be
accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all exercised Shares and, where
required, by applicable withholding taxes. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon
receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise
Price.

          No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such
exercise comply with applicable laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares
shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with
respect to such Shares.

     3. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

          (a) cash or check;

          (b) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by
the Company;

          (c) surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an
option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and
(ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the
exercised Shares;

 

 

          (d) With the approval of the Board of Directors (or if a compensation committee of the Board
of Directors has been appointed, and authorized to act in connection with options granted to the
members of Board of Directors, with the approval of such committee) in lieu of payment of the
Exercise Price in cash, the Optionee may elect to receive Shares of Common Stock by surrendering
Options having a Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares being issued in
accordance with, and subject to, the terms of a cashless exercise (net issuance) procedure
established, or permitted, by the Board or committee.

          (e) such other method as the Board of Directors of the Company permits.

     4. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of this Option Agreement shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

     5. Optionee’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall,
if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option,
deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B.

     6. Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by the Company or any
representative of the underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”) in connection with any registration
of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act or applicable law of any
other jurisdiction in which an offering is being made by the Company. Optionee shall not sell or
otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during the 180-day period (or such
other period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter agreed to in writing by the
Company) (the “Market Standoff Period”) following the effective date of a registration statement of
the Company filed under the Securities Act. Such restriction shall apply only to the first
registration statement of the Company to become effective under the Securities Act that includes
securities to be sold on behalf of the Company to the public in an underwritten public offering
under the Securities Act. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to
securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

     7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Deliverable.

     The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Option Agreement (such shares being
referred to in this Section 6 as the “Option Shares”) and the Exercise Price with respect to the
Option Shares shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

          (a) If the Company at any time divides the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a
greater number of shares (whether pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise), and
conversely, if the outstanding shares of its Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of
shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such division or combination
proportionately adjusted to reflect the reduction or increase in the value of each such common
stock.

2

 

          (b) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders
of the Company’s Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect
to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Optionee shall have the right to purchase and
receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares
of the Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, other securities or assets as would have been
issued or delivered to the Optionee if Optionee had exercised this Warrant and had received such
shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger or sale. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior
to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written
instrument executed and mailed to the Optionee at the last address of the Optionee appearing on the
books of the Company the obligation to deliver to the Optionee such shares of stock, securities or
assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Optionee may be entitled to purchase.

          (c) If the Company takes any other action, or if any other event occurs, which does not come
within the scope of the provisions of Section (a) or (b) above, but which should result in an
adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares subject to this Option Agreement in
order to fairly protect the purchase rights of the Optionee, an appropriate adjustment in such
purchase rights shall be made by the Company.

          (d) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Optionee shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

          (e) No adjustment in the number of Option Shares purchasable under this Option Agreement, or
in the Exercise Price with respect to the Option Shares, shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of Option Shares issuable upon
the exercise of this Option Agreement, or in the Exercise Price thereof; provided, however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6 are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All final results of adjustments to
the number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one
thousandth of a share or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such
changes in the number of Option Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Option , or in the
Exercise Price thereof, in addition to those required by such Section, as it in its discretion
shall determine to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common
Stock, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock, issuance of rights,
warrants or options to purchase Common Stock, or distribution of shares of stock other than Common
Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained
earnings) or convertible or exchangeable

3

 

securities hereafter made by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock shall not result
in any tax to the holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.

          (f) Whenever the number of Option Shares purchasable upon the exercise of hereof or the
Exercise Price of such Option Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the
Optionee, at the address of the Optionee shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such
adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the
Company, which sets forth the number of Option Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant
and the Exercise Price of such Option Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made.

          (g) The form of this Option Agreement need not be changed because of any change in the
Exercise Price, the number of Option Shares issuable upon the exercise or the number of Option
Shares pursuant to this Section 6.

     8. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Option Agreement constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety
all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a
writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
New York.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

	 	 	 
	OPTIONEE:
	 	 
	COMPANY:

	 	GlobalSecure Holdings Ltd.
	SECURITY:
	 	 
	AMOUNT:
	 	 
	DATE:
	 	 

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents
to the Company the following:

          (a) Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has
acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision
to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s
own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution”
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

          (b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted
securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in
reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee
understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for
such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present
intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax
statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the
Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further
understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further
acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities.
Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend
which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is
not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, and any other legend required
under applicable state securities laws.

          (c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under
the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities”
acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions- Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701
at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 90 days
thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities
exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions
specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in

9

 

an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said
term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); and, in the case of an
affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of
Securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding limitations specified in Rule
144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable. In the even that the Company does
not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in
certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to
occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or
the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the company, within the meaning of Rule 144;
and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who
subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section (1), (2), (3), (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

          (d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule
701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A,
or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that
Rules 144 and 70.1 are not exclusive, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has
expressed its opinion that persons proposing ___securities other than in a registered offering
and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption
will be available in such event.

Grant No.: 05-2005-026

Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, with respect to any shares you acquire
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that execution of the Stock
Restriction Agreement will not be required upon any exercise that occurs after the closing of the
first public offering of capital stock of the Company that is effected pursuant to a registration
statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 or, if later, the expiration of any market stand-off agreement that applies
to other stockholders of the Company respecting such public offering of capital stock.

          (f) Issuance of Shares upon Exercise. As soon as practicable after exercise of the
Options, the Company will deliver a share certificate to you, or deliver Shares electronically or
in certificate form to your designated broker on your behalf, for the Shares issued upon exercise.
Any share certificates delivered will, unless the Shares are registered or an exemption from
registration is available under applicable federal and state law, bear a legend restricting
transferability of such Shares and referencing any applicable Stock Restriction Agreement.

     3. Market Stand-Off Agreement. You agree that following the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, you, for the duration
specified by and to the extent requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any
of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such aforementioned
transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities or other securities, in cash or
otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition,
or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, in each case during the
seven days prior to and the 180 days after the effectiveness of any underwritten offering of the
Company’s equity securities (or such longer or shorter period as may be requested in writing by the
managing underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the “Market Stand-Off Period”),
except as part of such underwritten registration if otherwise permitted. In addition, you agree to
execute any further letters, agreements and/or other documents requested by the Company or its
underwriters that are consistent with the terms of this Section 3. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until
the end of such Market Stand-Off Period.

     4. Nontransferability of Options. These Options are nontransferable otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and during your lifetime, the Options may be exercised
only by you or, during the period you are under a legal disability, by your guardian or legal
representative. Except as provided above, the Options may not be assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be
subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

     5. Nonqualified Nature of the Options. The Options are not intended to
qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Code section 422, and this Agreement shall
be so construed. You hereby acknowledge that, upon exercise of the Options, you will recognize
compensation income in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Shares
over the Exercise Price and must comply with the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement with
respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise as a result of such exercise.

     6. Withholding of Taxes. At the time the Options are exercised, in whole or in part,
or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from
payroll or any other payment of any kind due to you and otherwise agree to make adequate provision
for foreign, federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in
connection with the Options. The Company may require you to make a cash payment to cover any
withholding tax obligation as a condition of exercise of the Options or issuance of share
certificates representing Shares.

     The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit you to satisfy, in whole or in part, any
withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the Options either by electing to
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise that number of Shares, or by
electing to deliver to the Company already-owned shares, in either case having a Fair Market Value
equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding amount due.

     7. Adjustments. The Administrator may make various adjustments to your Options,
including adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to the Options and the Exercise
Price. In the event of any transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company, the
outstanding Options will terminate upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless
provision is made in connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such
Options by, or for the substitution of the equivalent awards of, the surviving or successor entity
or a parent thereof. In the event of such termination, you will be permitted, immediately before
the Change in Control, to exercise or convert all portions of such Options that are then
exercisable or which become exercisable upon or prior to the effective time of the Change in
Control.

     8. Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement
will alter your at-will or other employment status or other service relationship with the Company,
nor be construed as a contract of employment or service relationship between you and the Company,
or as a contractual right for you to continue in the employ of, or in a service relationship with,
the Company for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the Company to discharge you
at any time with or without Cause or notice and whether or not such discharge results in the
failure of any of the Options to become exercisable or any other adverse effect on your interests.

     9. No Rights as a Stockholder. You shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to the Shares until such Shares have been issued to you upon the due exercise of the
Options. No adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

     10. The Company’s Rights. The existence of the Options shall not affect in any way
the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its
business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the
Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale
or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the correlating Stock Option
Notice, contain the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Option. Any
oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Options shall be
void and ineffective for all purposes.

     12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Administrator
in its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be modified in a
manner that would have a materially adverse effect on the Options or Shares as determined in the
discretion of the Administrator, except as provided in a written document signed by you and the
Company.

GLOSSARY

          (a) “Affiliate” means any entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, GlobalSecure Holdings, Ltd. For this purpose,
“control” means ownership of 50% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes
of stock or interests of the entity.

          (b) “Cause” unless otherwise defined in an employee’s employment agreement, in which case such
definition shall take precedence, has the meaning ascribed to such term or words of similar import
in your written employment or service contract with the Company as in effect at the time at issue
and, in the absence of such agreement or definition, means your (i) conviction of, or plea of nolo
contendere to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) fraud on or misappropriation of
any funds or property of the Company, any affiliate, customer or vendor; (iii) personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than

profit; (iv) willful misconduct in connection with your duties or willful failure to perform your
responsibilities in the best interests of the Company; (v) illegal use or distribution of drugs;
(vi) violation of any Company rule, regulation, procedure or policy; or (vii) breach of any
provision of any employment, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation or other similar
agreement executed by you for the benefit of the Company, all as determined by the Administrator,
which determination will be conclusive.

          (c) “Company” includes GlobalSecure Holdings, Ltd. and its Affiliates, except where the
context otherwise requires. For purposes of determining whether a Change in Control has occurred,
Company shall mean only GlobalSecure Holdings, Ltd.

          (d) “Fair Market Value” means, with respect to a share of the Company’s Common Stock for any
purpose on a particular date, the value determined by the Administrator in good faith. However, if
the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and listed for trading on a national exchange or market, “Fair Market Value” means, as
applicable, (i) either the closing price or the average of the high and low sale price on the
relevant date, as determined in the Administrator’s discretion, quoted on the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq National Market; (ii) the last sale price on
the relevant date quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market; (iii) the average of the high bid and low
asked prices on the relevant date quoted on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board Service or by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or a comparable service as determined in the Administrator’s
discretion; or (iv) if the Common Stock is not quoted by any of the above, the average of the
closing bid and asked prices on the relevant date furnished by a professional market maker for the
Common Stock, or by such other source, selected by the Administrator. If no public trading of the
Common Stock occurs on the relevant date but the shares are so listed, then Fair Market Value shall
be determined as of the next preceding date on which trading of the Common Stock does occur. For
all purposes under this Agreement, the term “relevant date” means either the date as of which Fair
Market Value is to be determined or the next preceding date on which public trading of the Common
Stock occurs, as determined in the Administrator’s discretion..

          (e) “Good Reason” has the meaning ascribed to such term or words of similar import in your
written employment or service contract with the Company as in effect at the time at issue. In the
absence of such agreement or definition, Good Reason means any requirement that the you relocate,
by more than 100 miles, the principal location from which you perform services for the Company as
compared to such location immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control.

          (f) “Service” means your employment or other service relationship with the Company.

          (g) “Shares” mean the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options.

          (h) “Stock Option Notice” means the written notice evidencing the award of the Options that
correlates with and makes up a part of this Agreement.

          (i) “Total and Permanent Disability” means the inability to engage in any substantial gainful
activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to

result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not
less than twelve months. The Administrator may require such proof of Total and Permanent
Disability as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems appropriate and the Administrator’s
good faith determination as to whether you are totally and permanently disabled will be final and
binding on all parties concerned.

          (j) “You”; “Your”. “You” or “your” means the recipient of the award of Options as reflected
on the Stock Option Notice. Whenever the Agreement refers to “you” under circumstances where the
provision should logically be construed, as determined by the Administrator, to apply to your
estate, personal representative, or beneficiary to whom the Options may be transferred by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, the word “you” shall be deemed to include such person.

          (k) “Administrator” means the Board or the committee(s) or officer(s) appointed by the Board
that have authority to administer options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

          (l) “Change in Control” means: (i) the acquisition (other than from the Company) in one or
more transactions by any Person, as defined in this Section 2(e), of the beneficial ownership
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) of 50% or more of (A) the then outstanding shares of the securities of the Company, or (B)
the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the “Company Voting Stock”); (ii) the closing of a sale or
other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) the effective
time of any merger, share exchange, consolidation, or other business combination involving the
Company if immediately after such transaction persons who hold a majority of the outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the surviving entity (or the
entity owning 100% of such surviving entity) are not persons who, immediately prior to such
transaction, held the Company Voting Stock; provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not
include a public offering of capital stock of the Company; and provided, further, that for purposes
of any Award or subplan that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan,” within the
meaning of Code section 409A, the Administrator, in its discretion, may specify a different
definition of Change in Control in order to comply with the provisions of Code section 409A. For
purposes of this Section 2(e), a “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than:
employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by the Company and by entities controlled by the
Company or an underwriter of the Common Stock in a registered public offering.

EXERCISE FORM

Options Administrator

c/o Office of the Corporate Secretary

GlobalSecure Holdings, Ltd.

2600 Virginia Ave., NW

Suite 600

Washington, DC 20037

Gentlemen:

     I hereby exercise the Options granted to me on _______, ___, by GlobalSecure
Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”), subject to all the terms and provisions of the applicable grant
agreement, and notify you of my desire to purchase _______shares of Common Stock of the
Company at a price of $         per share pursuant to the exercise of said Options.

     [Add the following if exercise occurs while the Company is privately held:

     This will confirm my understanding with respect to the shares to be issued to me by reason of
this exercise of the Options (the shares to be issued pursuant hereto shall be collectively
referred to hereinafter as the “Shares”) as follows:

          (a) I am purchasing the Shares for my own account for investment only, and not with a view to,
or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act
of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act.

          (b) I understand that the Shares are being issued without registration under the Securities
Act, in reliance upon one or more exemptions contained in the Securities Act, and such reliance is
based in part on the above representation. I also understand that the Company is not obligated to
comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or with the requirements for an
exemption under Regulation A under the Securities Act for my benefit.

          (c) I have had such opportunity as I deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the
Company such information as is necessary to permit me to evaluate the merits and risks of my
investment in the Company.

          (d) I have sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to
evaluate the risks involved in the purchase of the Shares and to make an informed investment
decision with respect to such purchase.

          (e) I can afford a complete loss of the value of the Shares and am able to bear the economic
risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period.

          (f) I understand that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are
“restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (ii) the Shares
cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under
the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is then available and, therefore, they may
need to be held indefinitely; and (iii) there is now no registration statement on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to any stock of the Company and the Company has no
obligation or current intention to register the Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition to
any transfer of the Shares, I understand that the Company may require an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under
the Securities Act or any state securities law.

          (g) I understand that the certificates for the Shares to be issued to me will bear a legend
substantially as follows:

The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on
transfer, an option to purchase and a market stand-off agreement set forth in a
certain Stock Restriction Agreement between the corporation and the registered owner
of this certificate (or his predecessor in interest), and no transfer of such shares
may be made without compliance with that Agreement. A copy of that Agreement is
available for inspection at the office of the corporation upon appropriate request and
without charge.

The securities represented by this stock certificate have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or applicable state securities laws (the “State
Acts”), and shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, donated, or otherwise
transferred (whether or not for consideration) by the holder except upon the issuance
to the corporation of a favorable opinion of its counsel and/or submission to the
corporation of such other evidence as may be satisfactory to counsel for the
corporation, to the effect that any such transfer shall not be in violation of the Act
and the State Acts.

The Company will issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent.

          (h) I am a party to a grant agreement and a stock restriction agreement with the Company,
pursuant to which I have agreed to certain restrictions on the transferability of the Shares and
other matters relating thereto.]
