      TERMS
AND CONDITIONS TO THE

      NON-QUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AWARD

      OF
HEALTH DISCOVERY CORPORATION

      

      1.      Exercise of
Option.  Subject to the provisions provided herein or in the
Award:

      

      (a)           The Option may be
exercised with respect to all or any portion of the vested Option Shares at any
time during the Option Period by the delivery to the Company, at its principal
place of business, of (i) a written notice of exercise in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit
1, which
shall be actually delivered to the Company no earlier than thirty (30) days and
no later than ten (10) days prior to the date upon which Optionee desires to
exercise all or any portion of the Option; (ii) payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price multiplied
by the number
of shares being purchased (the “Purchase Price”) in the manner provided in
Subsection (b); and (iii) satisfaction of the withholding tax obligations
as provided in Section 2, if applicable; provided, however, that in the event
the Optionee is given notice of termination for Cause under any employment or
other agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any Affiliate or
otherwise, the Optionee’s ability to exercise the Option shall be suspended from
the giving of such notice until such time as the Optionee cures the
circumstance(s) constituting Cause, if expressly permitted by the applicable
employment or other agreement or otherwise, or, if there is no opportunity to
cure or no cure is timely effected, from and after the giving of such notice
through and including the effective date that the Optionee’s employment or other
service relationship is terminated for Cause.

      

      (b)    The Purchase
Price shall be paid in full upon the exercise of an Option and no Option Shares
shall be issued or delivered until full payment therefor has been made. Payment
of the Purchase Price for all Option Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise
of an Option shall be made:

      

      (i)           by
tendering cash or certified check in an amount equal to the Purchase
Price;

      

      (ii)          by
the delivery to the Company of a number of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Optionee prior to the date of the Option’s exercise, having a Fair Market Value
on the date of exercise either equal to the Purchase Price;

      

      (iii)         if
and when the Common Stock becomes traded by brokers, whether on a national
securities exchange or otherwise, by delivery of the Purchase Price in cash from
a broker, dealer or other “creditor” as defined by Regulation T issued by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System following delivery by the
Optionee to the Company of instructions in a form acceptable to the Company
regarding delivery to such broker, dealer or other creditor of that number of
Option Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised;

      

      (iv)         by
having the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the
Option reduced by the number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair
Market Value equal to the Purchase Price; or

      

      (v)          in
any combination of the foregoing.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      Upon
acceptance of such notice and receipt of payment in full of the Purchase Price
and, if applicable, all required tax withholdings, the Company shall cause to be
issued a certificate representing the Option Shares purchased.

      

      2.             Withholding.  To
the extent necessary, the Optionee must satisfy his federal, state, and local,
if any, withholding taxes imposed by reason of the exercise of the Option either
by paying to the Company the full amount of the withholding obligation in cash;
by electing, irrevocably and in writing in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit
2 (a “Withholding Election”), to have the actual number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise reduced by the smallest number of whole
shares of Common Stock which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock as of the date the Option is exercised, is sufficient to satisfy
the amount of the withholding tax; or by any combination of the
above.  The Optionee may make a Withholding Election only if the
following conditions are met:

      

      (a)           the
Withholding Election is made on or prior to the date on which the amount of tax
required to be withheld is determined by executing and delivering to the Company
a properly completed Withholding Election; and

      

      (b)           any
Withholding Election made will be irrevocable; however, the Board of Directors
may, in its sole discretion, disapprove and give no effect to any Withholding
Election.

      

      3.            
Rights as
Shareholder.  Until the stock certificates reflecting the
Option Shares accruing to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option are issued to
the Optionee, the Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to
such Option Shares.  The Company shall make no adjustment for any
dividends or distribu­tions or other rights on or with respect to Option
Shares for which the record date is prior to the issuance of that stock
certificate, except as this Award otherwise provides.

      

      4.            
Restriction on
Transfer of Option and Option Shares.

      

      (a)           The
Option evidenced hereby is nontransferable other than pursuant to Section 4(b)
below and by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  The Option
shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee or the Permitted
Transferee (as defined below in Section 4(b)), if applicable, only by the
Optionee or such Permitted Transferee, if applicable (or in the event of the his
Disability, if applicable, by his personal representative) and after his death,
only by his legatee or the executor of his estate.  In the event the
Permitted Transferee is an entity, the Option shall be exercisable during the
Option Period only by an authorized representative of the Permitted Transferee,
such as the grantor or trustee of a trust or the general partner of a family
partnership, as applicable.

      

      (b)           The
Optionee may transfer the Option to one or more members of his immediate family,
provided any such family member has attained age 21 on or before the intended
date of transfer, to a trust established solely for the benefit of the
Optionee’s immediate family, or to a partnership, provided the only partners in
the partnership on the intended date of transfer are members of the Optionee’s
immediate family (a “Permitted Transferee”).  Solely in accordance
with the following, for purposes of this Section 4(b), the term “immediate
family” means only individuals with one of the following relationships to the
Optionee: spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents,
grandparents, siblings, nieces, nephews and in-laws.

      

      (c)           In
the event the Option is transferred by the Optionee to a Permissible Transferee,
the Permissible Transferee shall be prohibited from making any subsequent
transfer other than, to the extent applicable, by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (d)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to give effect to any transfer
of the Option to a Permitted Transferee unless the Optionee has provided the
Company with advance written notice of the transfer.

      

      5.            
Changes in
Capitalization.

      

      (a)           The
number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted
for nonreciprocal transactions between the Company and the holders of capital
stock of the Company that cause the per share value of the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Option to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split,
spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash
dividend (each, an “Equity Restructuring”).

      

      
        (b)    In the event
of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, sale of substantially all of
the Company’s assets or other material change in the capital structure of the
Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common Stock that in each case is not
an Equity Restructuring, the Board of Directors or its designee shall take such
action to make such adjustments in the Option or the terms of this Award as the
Board of Directors or its designee, in its sole discretion, determines in good
faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the
number and class of securities subject to the Option, with a corresponding
adjustment in the Exercise Price, substituting a new option to replace the
Option, accelerating the termination of the Option Period or terminating the
Option in consideration of a cash payment to the Optionee in an amount equal to
the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Option Shares over the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Option Shares. Any determination made by the Board of
Directors or its designee pursuant to this Section 5(b) will be final and
binding on the Optionee.  Any action taken by the Board of Directors
or its designee need not treat all optionees equally.

      

      

      (c)    The existence
of the Option granted pursuant to this Award shall not affect in any way the
right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment,
reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business
structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or
equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the
rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or
transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or any other corporate
act or proceeding. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section may provide, in
the Board of Directors’ discretion, for the elimination without payment therefor
of any fractional shares that might otherwise become subject to any
Option.

      

      6.            
Special
Limitation on Exercise.  No
purported exercise of the Option shall be effective without the approval of the
Board of Directors, which may be withheld to the extent that the exercise,
either individually or in the aggregate together with the exercise of other
previously exercised stock options and/or offers and sales pursuant to any prior
or contemplated offering of securities, would, in the sole and absolute judgment
of the Board of Directors, require the filing of a registration statement with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or with the securities
commission of any state.  If a registration statement is not in effect
under the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities law with
respect to shares of Common Stock purchasable or otherwise deliverable under the
Option, the Optionee (a) shall deliver to the Company, prior to the exercise of
the Option or as a condition to the delivery of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of an Option, such information, representations and warranties as the
Company may reasonably request in order for the Company to be able to satisfy
itself that the Option Shares are being acquired in accordance with the terms of
an applicable exemption from the securities registration requirements of
applicable federal and state securities laws and (b) shall agree that the shares
of Common Stock so acquired will not be disposed of except pursuant to an
effective registration statement, unless the Company shall have received an
opinion of counsel that such disposition is exempt from such requirement under
the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities law.

      7.            
Legend on Stock
Certificates.  Certificates evidencing the Option Shares, to the
extent appropriate at the time, shall have noted conspicuously on the
certificates a legend intended to give all persons full notice of the existence
of the conditions, restrictions, rights and obligations set forth in this
Award.

      

      8.            
Governing
Laws.  This Award and the Terms and Conditions shall be construed,
administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Georgia;
provided, however, the Option may not be exercised except, in the reasonable
judgment of the Board of Directors, in compliance with exemptions under
applicable state securities laws of the state in which the Optionee resides,
and/or any other applicable securities laws.

last known address of the recipient.  Any party may designate any
other address to which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to
the other parties in the same manner as provided herein.

      

      11.           Severability.  In
the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in
this Award shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other
provisions of this Award, and this Award shall be construed as if the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained
herein.

      

      12.           Entire

Award and these Terms and Conditions express the entire understanding and

all proposals or understandings, other communications between the parties,
whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter.    If

Directors regarding any question relating to the terms of this
Award.  This Award may be executed in two or more counterparts, each

      13.           Violation.  Except

effect.

      15.           Specific
Performance.  In the event of any actual or threatened default
in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Award and
these Terms and Conditions, the party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall

price for shares of Common Stock, or any other method which the Board of

                Exercise
      of Non-Qualified Stock Option

              

      

      

      Dear Sir
or Madam:

      

      Subject to acceptance hereof in writing
by Health Discovery Corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the provisions of
the terms and conditions of the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award (the “Award”),
I hereby give at least ten days but no more than thirty days prior notice of my
election to exercise options granted to me to purchase ______________ shares of
common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) under the Award dated as of
____________.  The purchase shall take place as of ___________________
(the “Exercise Date”).

      

      On or before the Exercise Date, I will
pay the applicable purchase price as follows:

      

      
        	 
      	
                [  ]

              	
                by
      delivery of cash or a certified check for $___________ for the full
      purchase price payable to the order of Health Discovery
      Corporation;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                [  ]

              	
                by
      having the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of
      the Option reduced by the number of whole shares of Common Stock having a
      Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                [  ]

              	
                by
      the delivery to the Company of a number of shares of Common Stock owned by
      the Optionee prior to the date of the Option’s exercise, having a Fair
      Market Value on the date of exercise either equal to the purchase
      price;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                [  ]

              	
                by
      delivery of the purchase price by _________________________, a broker,
      dealer or other “creditor” as defined by Regulation T issued by the
      Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  I hereby
      authorize the Company to issue a stock certificate for the number of
      shares indicated above in the name of said broker, dealer or other
      creditor or its nominee pursuant to instructions received by the Company
      and to deliver said stock certificate directly to that broker, dealer or
      other creditor (or to such other party specified in the instructions
      received by the Company from the broker, dealer or other creditor) upon
      receipt of the purchase price.  Note:  This
      choice is available only if and when the Common Stock becomes traded by
      brokers.

              

      

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          Exhibit 1 - Page 1 of 3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      I
understand that I am not permitted to exercise the Option if I have been given
notice that my employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate will be
terminated for Cause.  I understand that if my ability to exercise is
suspended in the manner provided for in the foregoing sentence, that my ability
to exercise may only be reinstated in the event that I cure the circumstances
specified in such notice that was the basis for my termination for Cause and
only if such ability to cure is expressly provided for in the applicable
employment or other agreement or otherwise.

      

      The required federal, state and local
income tax withholding obligations, if any, on the exercise of the Award shall
also be paid on or before the Exercise Date in the manner provided in the
Withholding Election previously tendered or to be tendered to the Company no
later than the Exercise Date.

      

      As soon as the stock certificate is
registered in my name, please deliver it to me at the above
address.

      

      If the Common Stock being acquired is
not registered for issuance to and resale by the Optionee pursuant to an
effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or successor form) filed under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), I hereby represent,
warrant, covenant, and agree with the Company as follows:

      

      The
shares of the Common Stock being acquired by me will be acquired for my own
account without the participation of any other person, with the intent of
holding the Common Stock for investment and without the intent of participating,
directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Common Stock and not with a
view to, or for resale in connection with any distribution of the Common Stock,
nor am I aware of the existence of any distribution of the Common
Stock;

      

      I am not
acquiring the Common Stock based upon any representation, oral or written, by
any person with respect to the future value of, or income from, the Common Stock
but rather upon an independent examination and judgment as to the prospects of
the Company;

      

      The
Common Stock was not offered to me by means of any publicly disseminated
advertisements or sales literature, nor am I aware of any offers made to other
persons by such means;

      

      I am able
to bear the economic risks of the investment in the Common Stock, including the
risk of a complete loss of my investment therein;

      

      I
understand and agree that the Common Stock will be issued and sold to me without
registration under any state law relating to the registration of securities for
sale, and will be issued and sold in reliance on the exemptions from
registration under the 1933 Act, provided by Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) thereof
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

      

      The
Common Stock cannot be offered for sale, sold or transferred by me other than
pursuant to: (A) an effective registration under the 1933 Act or in a
transaction otherwise in compliance with the 1933 Act; and (B) evidence
satisfactory to the Company of compliance with the applicable securities laws of
other jurisdictions.  The Company shall be entitled to rely upon an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to it with respect to compliance with the above
laws;

      

      The
Company will be under no obligation to register the Common Stock or to comply
with any exemption available for sale of the Common Stock without registration
or filing, and the information or conditions necessary to permit routine sales
of securities of the Company under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may not now be
available and no assurance has been given that it or they will become
available.  The Company is under no obligation to act in any manner so
as to make Rule 144 available with respect to the Common Stock;

      I have
and have had complete access to and the opportunity to review and make copies of
all material documents related to the business of the Company, including, but
not limited to, contracts, financial statements, tax returns, leases, deeds and
other books and records.  I have examined such of these documents as I
wished and am familiar with the business and affairs of the
Company.  I realize that the purchase of the Common Stock is a
speculative investment and that any possible profit therefrom is
uncertain;

      

      I have
had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and
any person acting on its behalf and to obtain all material information
reasonably available with respect to the Company and its affairs.  I
have received all information and data with respect to the Company which I have
requested and which I have deemed relevant in connection with the evaluation of
the merits and risks of my investment in the Company;

      

      I have
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that I am
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Common Stock
hereunder and I am able to bear the economic risk of such purchase;
and

      

      The
agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by me herein extend
to and apply to all of the Common Stock of the Company issued to me pursuant to
this Award.  Acceptance by me of the certificate representing such
Common Stock shall constitute a confirmation by me that all such agreements,
representa­tions, warranties and covenants made herein shall be true and
correct at that time.

      

      I understand that the certificates
representing the shares being purchased by me in accordance with this notice
shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing covenants, representations and
warranties and restrictions on transfer, and I agree that a legend to that
effect may be placed on any certificate which may be issued to me as a
substitute for the certificates being acquired by me in accordance with this
notice.  I also understand that capitalized terms used, but not
defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Award.

  Option.

              

      

      

      (3)    The Option pursuant to which this
election relates was issued under the Non-Qualified Stock Option
Award (the “Award”) dated as of ____________ in the name of _____________________
for the purchase of a total of __________ shares of Common
Stock.  This election relates to _____ ________ shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Option (the “Stock”), provided that the numbers

      (4)    In connection with
any exercise of the Option with respect to Stock, I hereby elect to have certain

market value equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement under
federal, state and local law in connection with the exercise.

      

      (6)    This Withholding
Election is made no later than the tax date and is otherwise timely made
pursuant to the Award.

the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0. 
 “Commitment Level II
Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Commitment Level I Status and (ii) the Total Leverage Ratio is
less than 3.5 to 1.0.

 “Commitment Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent
Financials, the Borrower has not qualified for Commitment Level I Status or Commitment Level II Status or Commitment Level III Status. 
 “Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2. 
 “Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of such date, the Rating is at least BB- (with at least a stable outlook) by S&P and at least Ba3 (with at least a stable outlook) by Moody’s. 

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of such date, Level I Status does not apply and the Rating is at least B+ (with at least a
stable outlook) by S&P and at least B1 (with at least a stable outlook) by Moody’s. 
 “Level III Status” exists at any
date if, as of such date, neither Level I Status nor Level II Status applies and the Rating is at least B (with at least a stable outlook) by S&P and at least B2 (with at least a stable outlook) by Moody’s. 
  

 Headwaters – Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement 

 “Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of such date, none of Level I Status, Level II
Status or Level III Status applies. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 
 “Rating” means the corporate family rating that has been most recently announced for the Borrower by S&P or Moody’s, as the case may
be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poors Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

and (y) either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status, as applicable. 
 The Applicable Margin and
Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table applicable to such margin or fee based on the Borrower’s Status as reflected in the then most recent Financials or the then most recently announced Ratings, as
applicable. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate shall be effective five Business Days after the Administrative Agent has received the applicable Financials or as of the date that S&P or Moody’s announces the
change in such Rating, as applicable. If the Borrower fails to deliver the Financials to the Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Applicable Fee Rate shall be the highest Applicable Fee Rate set forth in
the foregoing table until five Business Days after such Financials are so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, a Rating with a negative outlook (or on “Credit Watch” with negative implications) will be deemed to be the next lower Rating.
