(a)

	
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the Purchase Price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Purchase Price”).

For purposes of this Section 1(c), ISOs shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.

II.           AGREEMENT (CONT.)

7.              Tax Consequences

Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of any Option or from the disposition of the Shares or from any other event or act (whether of the Optionee or of the Company or of its Trustee) hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Optionee.  The Company and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source.

Furthermore, such Optionee shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or the Trustee, and/or the Company’s shareholders and/or directors and/or officers if applicable, and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Optionee, provided that they acted in due care.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Company shall not be obligated to honor the exercise of any Option by or on behalf of an Optionee until all tax consequences (if any) arising from the exercise of such Options are resolved in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of the grant of this Option of some of the tax consequences of the grant and exercise of this Option and the disposition of the Shares.

THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  THEREFORE, OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

	
  

	
(a)

	
Exercise of ISO.  In the case of an ISO, the exercise of the Option will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Purchase Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal income tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

	
  

	
(b)

	
Exercise of NSO.  The exercise of an NSO may be subject to U.S. federal income tax liability (at ordinary tax rates) upon the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Purchase Price.  If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

	
  

	
(c)

	
Disposition of Shares.  In the case of an NSO, if Shares are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year after exercise and for at least two years after the date of grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within one year after exercise or two years after the date of grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Purchase Price and the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (2) the sale price of the Shares.  Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain.

II.           AGREEMENT (CONT.)

7.    Tax Consequences (Cont.)

	
  

	
(d)

	
Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. In the case of an ISO, if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the date of grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition.  Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee.

	
  

	
8.

	
Governing Law; Severability

This agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdiction.

	
  

	
9.

	
Entire Agreement

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan and 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.

	
  

	
10.

	
No Guarantee of Continued Service

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule hereof is earned only by continuing as a Service Provider at the will of the Company. Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Vesting Schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as a Service Provider and shall not interfere in any way with Optionee's right or the Company’s right to terminate Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause.

	
  

	
11.

	
Confidentiality

The Optionee agrees and acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, including without limitation the number of Shares for which Options have been granted, are confidential.  The Optionee agrees that he will not disclose these terms and conditions to any third party, except to the Optionee’s financial or legal advisors, tax advisors or family members, unless such disclosure is required by law.

II.           AGREEMENT (CONT.)

15.           Corporate Opportunities.  The Employee shall not enter into transactions for his own account that may be considered to be competitive with or a business opportunity that may be beneficial to SDSS.  The Employee shall account to SDSS and hold as trustee for it any property, profit or benefit received or derived by him from his use or appropriation of the property or the opportunities of SDSS, including, but not limited to, information developed exclusively for and opportunities expressly offered to SDSS.

16.           Trade Secrets.  At no time, either during the term of his employment or at any time thereafter, shall the Employee disclose to any person, firm or corporation or use, directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or the benefit of any other person, firm or corporation, any confidential information or trade secret of SDSS or any customer of SDSS or utilize such confidential information or trade secret for his own benefit or for the benefit of third parties, except pursuant to a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

17.           Injunctive Relief.  If the Employee commits a breach or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 15 or 16, above, SDSS shall have the right to have those provisions of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction without being required to post a bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at law, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to SDSS and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to SDSS.  In addition, SDSS may take any such other actions and seek other remedies available to it under law or in equity and shall be entitled to any and all damages it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach.

18.           No Breaches.  The Employee represents that his execution of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and the performance of his duties required hereunder will not be a breach of any other agreement to which he is a party.

19.           Events of Default and Remedies.  The repeated failure, refusal or neglect of the Employee, other than by reason of disability, to report or to render his services when and as required hereunder, or to perform any covenant or condition of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement on his part to be kept or performed, shall be an event of default hereunder and SDSS may terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement if any such event or default shall occur and continue during the term hereof, as provided in Paragraph 20, below.

20.           Termination.  In addition to such rights of termination as are otherwise set forth in this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, SDSS shall have the additional right to terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement for cause in the event of the Employee’s material breach in the performance of his duties hereunder.  SDSS shall thereupon be relieved of all obligations to the Employee under this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement accruing from and after the date of the occurrence of such breach.

20.1.           If the Employee engages in activities or conduct which SDSS contends is a material breach of the Employee’s obligations under this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, SDSS shall deliver a notice in writing to the Employee to terminate such activities or conduct.  If the Employee fails to take affirmative steps to cure or terminate the complained of activities or conduct on or before the expiration of ten (10) days following receipt of said notice, then the Employee shall be deemed in material breach hereunder.  In that event, SDSS shall have the right to immediately thereafter terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.  The provisions for notice of default and time to cure prior to termination shall not apply in the case of fraudulent conduct or dishonesty, or any other cause incapable of being cured, in which event SDSS may terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement immediately and without prior notice.  The right of termination contained in this Paragraph 20.1 shall not preclude SDSS from exercising any other right it may have either pursuant to the other terms of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement or by law.

Notice to SDSS shall be considered given when personally delivered and receipted or three (3) days after being mailed by first class mail postage prepaid addressed to the Chairman of the Board of Directors in care of SDSS at the address of the Principal Office.  Notice to the Employee shall be considered given when personally delivered and receipted or three (3) days after being mailed by first class mail postage prepaid addressed to the Employee at the address first above written, unless the Employee has given SDSS a notice of a different address.

22.           Miscellaneous.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties in connection herewith.  Neither SDSS nor the Employee shall be bound in any manner by any promises, statements, representations or information made, given or furnished by any person representing or purporting to represent SDSS or the Employee except to the extent that such promises, statements, representations or information are expressly set forth in this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within New York.  The headings of the various paragraphs of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are under no circumstances to be a part of, or construed as a part of, this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors, and assigns of the parties.

23.           Execution in Counterparts.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
