          capital loan in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
          (US$500,000) (the "Working Capital Loan") within five business days of

          (exclusive of the Working Capital Loan) Three Million Dollars
          (US$3,000,000), to enable the Company to expand and fulfill its
          obligations under the Assigned Contracts; provided that any such
          determination by Lender shall be in good faith and provided further

certificates or other documents (including without limitation representation
letters) reasonably requested by the Company to satisfy the Company that the
proposed exercise of this Option may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Optionholder
shall not be entitled to exercise this Option unless and until such certificates
or other documents are delivered and reasonably acceptable to the Company. In
the event that the Optionholder delivers payment of the Exercise Price pursuant
to Section 1.1 in connection with a proposed exercise of this Option and the
Company reasonably determines that no exemption from registration under the
Securities Act is available for such exercise, then the Company shall promptly
return such payment to the Optionholder and Optionholder shall be required to
use its best efforts to effect a transfer of this Option to a person or entity
to which the Company would be permitted to sell the Option Shares upon the
exercise hereof in a valid private placement which does not require registration
under the Securities Act.

Option Shares specified in the Exercise Notice shall be delivered to the
Optionholder as soon as practicable after receipt of the Exercise Notice and
receipt of payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

1.5 Payment of Taxes. The issuance of certificates for Option Shares shall be
made without charge to the Optionholder for any stock transfer or other issuance
tax in respect thereto; provided, however, that the Optionholder shall be
required to pay any and all taxes which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name
other than that of the then Optionholder as reflected upon the books of the
Company.

1.6 Transfer of Option.

(a)  Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1.6, Optionholder shall
     have the right to transfer this Option in its entirety, but not in part, to
     any one person or entity.

<PAGE>

(b)  Upon surrender of this Option to the Company with a duly executed
     Assignment Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and funds
     sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge,
     execute and deliver a new Option of like tenor in the name of the assignee
     named in such Assignment Form, and this Option shall promptly be canceled.
     The Optionholder agrees that prior to any proposed transfer of this Option,
     such Optionholder shall give written notice to the Company of such
     Optionholder's intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall
     describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in
     sufficient detail, and, if requested by the Company, shall be accompanied
     by certificates and/or other documentation (including representation
     letters) and a written opinion of legal counsel, which opinion shall be
     addressed to the Company and be reasonably satisfactory in form and
     substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed
     transfer of this Option may be effected without registration under the
     Securities Act. The Optionholder shall not be entitled to transfer this
     Option if such legal opinion is not acceptable to the Company or if such
     documentation is not provided.

(c)  As a condition precedent to the transfer of this Option, at the request of
     the Company the proposed transferee Optionholder shall first be required to
     irrevocably appoint Keith Buck (hereinafter, "Attorney") its attorney with
     full power to execute and deliver in the name of and on behalf of such
     transferee Optionholder any notice, consent or approval with respect to any
     extension, amendment (including without limitation amendments that are
     material and/or adverse to the transferee Optionholder), supplement or
     rescission hereof. For greater certainty, the execution and delivery of any
     such notice, consent or approval by any person other than Attorney shall be
     of no force and effect. The parties acknowledge that such irrevocable
     appointment will be coupled with an interest and shall survive the death,
     incapacity or disability of the transferee Optionholder. Attorney may not
     transfer his interest under this Section 1.6(c) without the prior written
     consent of the Company.

5.2 The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Option is
registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of
ownership or writing hereon made by

                                       9
<PAGE>

anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Option for registration of
transfer.

6. Certain Adjustments.

6.1 At all times prior to the earlier of the Expiration Date and the exercise of
this Option, the number of Option Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Option and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(a)  Stock Dividends. If at any time after the date of the issuance of this
     Option (i) the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of any
     stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or (ii) the number of
     shares of Common Stock shall have been increased by a subdivision or
     split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on the record date fixed for the
     determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend
     or immediately after the effective date of subdivision or split up, as the
     case may be, the number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of this
     Option will be increased so that the Optionholder will be entitled to
     receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Optionholder would
     have owned immediately following such action had this Option been exercised
     immediately prior thereto, and the Exercise Price will be adjusted as
     provided below in paragraph (g).

(b)  Combination of Stock. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
     at any time after the date of the issuance of this Option shall have been
     decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
     immediately after the effective date of such combination, the number of
     shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise of this Option will be
     decreased so that the Optionholder thereafter will be entitled to receive
     the number of shares of Common Stock that such Optionholder would have
     owned immediately following such action had this Option been exercised
     immediately prior to such combination, and the Exercise Price will be
     adjusted as provided below in paragraph (g).

(c)  Reorganization, etc. If any capital reorganization of the Company, any
     reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation of the Company with
     or merger of the Company with or into any other person, or any sale or
     lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
     Company to any other person, shall be effected in such a way that the
     holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other
     securities or assets (whether such stock, other securities or assets are
     issued or distributed by the Company or another person) with respect to or
     in exchange for Common Stock, then, upon exercise of this Option, the
     Optionholder shall have the right to receive the kind and amount of stock,
     other securities or assets receivable upon such reorganization,
     reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other transfer by
     a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Optionholder
     would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of this Option had this
     Option been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization,
     reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other transfer,
     subject to adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
     practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.1.

                                       10
<PAGE>

(d)  Distributions to All Holders of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any
     time after the date of issuance of this Option, fix a record date to
     distribute to all holders of its Common Stock, any shares of capital stock
     of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness
     or assets (not including cash dividends or other distributions, whether
     paid from retained earnings of the Company or otherwise) or rights or
     warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities, then the
     Optionholder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Option,
     that portion of such distribution to which it would have been entitled had
     the Optionholder exercised its Option immediately prior to the date of such
     distribution. At the time it fixes the record date for such distribution,
     the Company shall allocate sufficient reserves to ensure the timely and
     full performance of the provisions of this Section 6.1(d). The Company
     shall promptly mail by first class, postage prepaid, to the Optionholder,
     notice that such distribution will take place.

(e)  Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be
     issued to the Optionholder in connection with the exercise of this Option.
     Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
     issuable to the Optionholder, the Company will pay to the Optionholder a
     cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal
     to that fractional interest of the then current fair market value per share
     of Common Stock, which the parties hereto agree is the last reported sale
     price on the day immediately preceding the event causing the adjustment
     under this Section 6.

(f)  Carryover. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, no
     adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock to be
     delivered to the Optionholder (or to the Exercise Price) if such adjustment
     represents less than 1% of the number of shares to be so delivered, but any
     lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
     and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any
     adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 1% or more of the number of
     shares to be so delivered.

(g)  Exercise Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of Option Shares purchasable
     upon the exercise of this Option is adjusted, as herein provided, the
     Exercise Price payable upon the exercise of this Option shall be adjusted
     by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by
     a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Option Shares
     purchasable upon the exercise of the Option immediately prior to such
     adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Option
     Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.

6.2 Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which the
provisions of Section 6.1 are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make
any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this
Option in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such section,
then, in each such case, the Company shall determine the adjustment, if any, on
a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in
Section 6.1, necessary to preserve without dilution the purchase rights
represented by this Option.

6.3 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Option Shares or the Exercise
Price of such Option Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
promptly mail by first class, postage prepaid, to the Optionholder (or if this
Option is the result of a transfer, then to the Attorney), notice of such
adjustment or adjustments and a certificate of the Company's Chief Financial
Officer setting forth the number of Option Shares 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.

                                       11
<PAGE>

6.4 Effect of Failure to Notify. Failure to file any certificate or notice or to
mail any notice, or any defect in any certificate or notice, pursuant to Section
6.3 shall not affect the legality or validity of the adjustment to the Exercise
Price, the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Option or any
transaction giving rise thereto.

7. Pre-emptive Rights.

7.1 Except for equity issuances as part of (A) any of the events contemplated in
Section 6.1(a), (B) stock or option grants to employees, advisors/consultants,
directors and/or officers, or (C) securities issued in connection with a joint
venture or strategic partnership, license, purchase or other strategic
arrangement with a third party that is unaffiliated with either the Company or
the Optionholder, the Company may not issue or sell any equity securities or any
securities that are exchangeable for or convertible into any equity securities
unless it offers such securities to the Optionholder in such amount as to enable
the Optionholder to maintain his then current equity interest (by percentage) in
the Company (as further described in the penultimate sentence in this
paragraph). The Company shall give written notice of any such proposed issuance
(including the number and description of securities being offered and the amount
and nature of consideration for which they are being offered) to the
Optionholder, and the Optionholder shall have seven (7) days from the date on
which such notice is received to agree in writing to purchase the offered
securities. If the Optionholder fails to respond to the notice within the seven
(7) business day period, the Optionholder shall be deemed to have declined to
purchase any of the offered securities. If the Optionholder agrees to acquire
the securities offered, the Optionholder must purchase the offered securities
and pay for them in full concurrently with the closing of the offering of
securities that gave rise to the Optionholder's rights hereunder. If no such
closing takes place, then the right of the Optionholder to make such purchase
shall be deemed forfeited. The Optionholder shall have the right to purchase up
to the percentage of offered securities that equals the percentage of
outstanding Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis, calculated by reference to
all then-outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable shares and
convertible debt) to be purchased to such other offeree. To the extent that the
Optionholder does not purchase any offered securities, the Company may sell them
to third parties for a period of ninety (90) days after the expiration of the
first seven (7) day period referred to above.

7.2 For purposes hereof, a person or entity shall have the rights described in
Section 7.1 with respect to particular Option Shares until it sells, transfers,
assigns or otherwise conveys all or any portion of its right, title and/or
interest in such Option Shares. Without limiting any of the other provisions
hereof, if a holder of Option Shares effects a lawful private sale, transfer,
assignment or other conveyance of Option Shares (i.e., not through a public
offering and not on the exchange or through the quotation system on which the
Company's Common Stock is then traded or quoted (the "Exchange")), the
transferee of such Option Shares shall succeed to the preemptive rights of the
transferor under Section 7.1 with respect to the particular Option Shares
conveyed; provided, however, that the transferor must be conveying all of his or
its right, title and interest in and to the Option Shares in connection
therewith. For greater certainty, the preemptive rights granted under Section
7.1 with respect to the Option Shares shall terminate upon a public sale of the
Option Shares or upon sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance of Option
Shares effected over the Exchange.

7.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, the
rights granted in this Section 7 shall terminate and be of no force and effect
upon the earlier of (A) an underwritten public offering yielding gross proceeds
to the Company of Twenty Million Dollars (US$20,000,000) or (B) the one (1) year
anniversary of the issuance hereof. This provision shall

                                       12
<PAGE>

survive the Expiration Date to the extent necessary, unless the Expiration Date
is accelerated in accordance with Section 1.2(b).

     thereafter becoming of no further force and effect, nor shall the holder
     thereof have any remaining rights by with respect thereto.
