Exhibit 10.5

                                OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS OPTION AGREEMENT dated as of December 26, 2005 (the "Agreement")
between Graphite Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation with an address
at 106 Lakeside Avenue, Delano, ("Graphite"); and BPK Resources, Inc., a Nevada
corporation with an address at 264 Union Boulevard, Totowa, NJ 07512 ("BPK").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, BPK has loaned Graphite $750,000 in contemplation of the proposed
business combination of Graphite and BPK;

      WHEREAS, in consideration for making this loan, Graphite has agreed to
grant BPK a three-year option to purchase 10% of its common stock in the event
Graphite does not proceed with the proposed business combination;

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants and
agreements hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

      1. OPTION TO PURCHASE STOCK. Graphite hereby agrees that in the event it
does not proceed with the proposed business combination with BPK, BPK shall have
an option (the "Option") to purchase for $750,000 at anytime prior to December
31, 2008 (subject to earlier termination as specified below) such number of
shares of Graphite's common stock as shall equal 10% of Graphite's then
outstanding shares of common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis
(including all outstanding options, warrants and other securities convertible or
exchangeable into the common stock).

      2. EXERCISE. The Option may be exercised in whole or in part only by the
delivery by BPK of written notice to Graphite at the address specified below
personally or by certified mail. Payment for such shares shall be in certified
or cashier's check or by offset of any amounts outstanding under the Promissory
Note or any other obligation owed by Graphite to BPK. The Option shall not be
deemed exercised until payment in the manner described above has been made.

      3. ANTI-DILUTION. The number of shares of stock of Graphite covered by
this option, the option price and other relevant provisions shall be
appropriately adjusted in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization,
forward stock split, reverse stock split or other similar corporate transaction
in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits intended to be made
available hereby. In case Graphite issues any shares of its common stock between
the date hereof and the date of the exercise of such option, or issues any
option, warrant, convertible security or other right to purchase or acquire its
securities between the date hereof and the date of the exercise of the option,
then the option to purchase provided for in this paragraph 3 shall be adjusted
downward in price and upward in amount, on a "full-ratchet" basis, based on the
price of the securities so issued.

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

      This Subscription Agreement is executed by Pride Business Development
Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with an office at 15760 Ventura Boulevard,
Suite 1020, Encino, California (hereinafter referred to as the "ISSUER" or Pride
or the Company) and the undersigned, with an office/residence at the address on
the signature page hereof (hereinafter referred to as the ("SUBSCRIBER").

      The ISSUER will sell units ("Units") in an offering on a "no minimum,
fifteen (15) Unit maximum basis" at ten thousand (US$10,000.00) per Unit
(subscriptions for fractional Units are permitted and may be accepted at
ISSUER'S discretion). Each Unit consists of the following:

Issuer:                 Pride Business Development Holdings, Inc. ("Pride" or
                        the "Company"), a Nevada Corporation located at 15760
                        Ventura Boulevard, Suite 1020, Encino, CA 91436.

                        (b) warrants to purchase 3,500 additional Shares at
                        $1.00 per Share for every $10,000 of Notes subscribed;
                        and (c) warrants to purchase 3,500 additional Shares at
                        $1.25 per Share for every $10,000 of Notes subscribed.
                        The term of the warrants will be 3 years from the date

                        and any exercise of the warrants. The note holders will
                        have piggy-back registration rights if the Company files
                        registration for any other Shares before this 9 month
                        period. Piggy-back registration will be with the
                        acceptance of the underwriters as selected by the
                        Company.

                                       1
<PAGE>

Capitalization:         All Shares and warrants are based on approximately
                        13,500,000 fully diluted shares outstanding in the
                        Company excluding the Shares, and warrants included in
                        this offering.

Reorganization:         In case the Company reorganizes itself, this entire
                        agreement will be applicable to any future entity
                        arising out of the reorganization.

      The ISSUER intends to have the proceeds released from the escrow of
subscription funds held by ISSUER from time to time, at which time the ISSUER
will accept the subscription and direct its transfer agent to issue the stock
certificate representing the Shares subscribed and to be sent by the transfer
agent. The offering will continue until the ISSUER in its sole discretion
decides to terminate the offering. There will be no notice of the termination of
the offering to any persons, including SUBSCRIBER. Subscriptions may be
rejected, in whole or in part, in which case the ISSUER will return the
subscription funds, without interest, after deduction of the amount due for an
accepted partial subscription, if any. This offering is being made by the ISSUER
in reliance upon the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act").

      Because the offering is being made on a no minimum basis, and there is no
assurance that all the securities offered will be subscribed for, if you are an
early investor/subscriber, you bear a disproportionate risk that your funds will
be the only ones received by the ISSUER and will be inadequate to implement the
ISSUER's business plan. All funds delivered to the ISSUER will be considered
those of the ISSUER at the time of receipt, subject to the rights of creditors
of the ISSUER.

      Each of the parties hereto hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees
with, the other as follows:

      1. Agreement to Subscribe; Subscription Price.

            a. Subscription. SUBSCRIBER hereby subscribes for, and ISSUER agrees
to sell the Units for an aggregate purchase price of US$10,000.00 times the
number of Units subscribed for ("Purchase Price"). To subscribe, the SUBSCRIBER
must complete the appropriate investor questionnaire, the NASD questionnaire,
the signature page and complete the Internal Revenue Service Form, and return
all four items to the ISSUER. (If you do not complete the required tax form, you
may be subject to backup withholding taxes.)

            b. Form of Payment. SUBSCRIBER shall pay the Purchase Price for the
Units purchased hereunder by wire transfer of same day funds in United States
Dollars to the ISSUER. ISSUER shall deliver one or more certificates
representing the Shares to the SUBSCRIBER promptly after acceptance of the
subscription, and send to the SUBSCRIBER a copy of this agreement countersigned
by the ISSUER.

securities laws.

      2. Subscriber Representations.

            a. Transactional Representations. SUBSCRIBER represents, warrants to
and agrees with ISSUER as follows:

                  (i) SUBSCRIBER is purchasing the Units for its own account for
investment purposes and not with a view toward distribution.

                  (ii) SUBSCRIBER understands that the Units, including the
Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), have not been registered under the
Securities Act and that such securities are "restricted securities" as defined
in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. SUBSCRIBER further understands
that the Units, including the Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), may
not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred by such SUBSCRIBER
except: A) (1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, or (2) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act; and B) in accordance with all applicable
securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions;

                  (iii) SUBSCRIBER understands that the purchase of the Units,
including the Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), involves a high
degree of risk, including entire loss of the investment and further acknowledges
that it can bear the economic risk of the purchase of the securities, including
the total loss of its investment and the risk that the ISSUER may not sell all
the Units offered and only raise a small portion of the funds sought;

                  (iv) SUBSCRIBER understands that the Units, including the
Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), are being offered and sold to it in
reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal
and state securities laws and that the ISSUER is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of SUBSCRIBER set forth herein in order to determine the
applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of SUBSCRIBER to acquire
the securities;

                  (v) SUBSCRIBER, and its independent advisors, are sufficiently
experienced in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment in the Units, including the Shares and
warrants (and underlying Shares), and to make an informed decision relating
thereto; and

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (vi) In evaluating its investment in the Units, including the
Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), SUBSCRIBER has consulted its own
investment and/or legal and/or tax advisors and has determined, independent of
the ISSUER, including its agents and representatives, that the investment being
subscribed for by SUBSCRIBER is suitable for SUBSCRIBER.

                  (vii) The SUBSCRIBER is not subscribing for Units, including
the Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), as a result of, or subsequent
to, any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or
presented at any seminar or meeting.

                  (viii) The SUBSCRIBER shall indemnify and hold harmless the
ISSUER, and any officer, director, or control person of the ISSUER, who is or
may be a party to, or is or may be threatened to be made a party to, any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of, or arising from, any
actual or alleged misrepresentation or misstatement of facts or omission to
represent or state facts made or alleged to have been made by the SUBSCRIBER to
the ISSUER (or any agent or representative of the ISSUER) or omitted or alleged
to have been omitted by the SUBSCRIBER, concerning the SUBSCRIBER or the
SUBSCRIBER's authority to invest or financial position in connection with this
offering, including, without limitation, any such misrepresentation,
misstatement, or omission contained in the Questionnaire or any other document
submitted by the SUBSCRIBER, against losses, liabilities, and expenses for which
the ISSUER, or any officer, director, or control person of the ISSUER has not
otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by the ISSUER, or
such officer, director, or control person in connection with such action, suit,
or proceeding.

                  (ix) The SUBSCRIBER has been furnished with, and has carefully
read this Subscription Agreement and is familiar with, and understands, the
terms of the Offering. With respect to individual or partnership tax and other
economic considerations involved in this investment, the undersigned is not
relying on the ISSUER or any agent or representative of any of the ISSUER. The
SUBSCRIBER has carefully considered and has, to the extent the SUBSCRIBER
believes such discussion necessary, discussed with the SUBSCRIBER's professional
legal, tax, accounting, and financial advisors the suitability of an investment
in the Units, including the Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), for the
SUBSCRIBER's particular tax and financial situation and has determined that the
Units, including the Shares and warrants (and underlying Shares), being
subscribed for by the SUBSCRIBER are a suitable investment for the SUBSCRIBER.

                  (x) The SUBSCRIBER or the SUBSCRIBER's purchaser
representative, as the case may be, has such knowledge and experience in
financial, tax, and business matters so as to enable the SUBSCRIBER to utilize
the information made available to the SUBSCRIBER in connection with the Offering
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Units, including the
Shares and warrants, and to make an informed investment decision with respect
thereto.

                  (xi) ISSUER represents, warrants to and agrees with SUBSCRIBER
that it understands that the Confidential Executive Summary of Pride Business
Development Holdings, Inc., contains references to future and prospective events
which may or may not occur in the future as a result of matters both within and
outside the control of the ISSUER and that SUBSCRIBER is not relying upon the
Confidential Executive Summary of Pride Business Development Holdings, Inc.,
including any of its contents, in making its decision to invest in the Offering
and the Units.

<PAGE>

                  (xii) IN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION PURCHASERS, WHICH
INCLUDES SUBSCRIBERS, MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN EXAMINATION OF THE ISSUER AND THE
TERMS OF THE OFFERING, INCLUDING THE MERITS AND RISKS INVOLVED. THE UNITS,
INCLUDING THE SHARES AND WARRANTS (AND UNDERLYING SHARES), HAVE NOT BEEN
RECOMMENDED BY ANY FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY
AUTHORITY. FURTHERMORE, THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THE
ACCURACY OR DETERMINED THE ADEQUACY OF THE DISCLOSURE MATERIALS OR THIS
DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

            b. Current Public Information. SUBSCRIBER acknowledges that
SUBSCRIBER has been furnished with or has otherwise acquired copies of the
ISSUER'S public information, all as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). The public information includes information about the
ISSUER's wholly owned subsidiary, Pride Business Development Group.

            c. Independent Investigation; Access. SUBSCRIBER acknowledges that,
in making its decision to purchase the Units subscribed for, it has relied on
the publicly available information about the ISSUER only and upon independent
investigations made by it and its representatives, if any. SUBSCRIBER and such
representatives, if any, prior to the sale to it of the securities offered
hereby, have been given access to, and the opportunity to examine, all material
books and records of the ISSUER, all material contracts and documents relating
to the ISSUER and this offering and an opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, executive officers of ISSUER concerning the ISSUER and the
terms and conditions of this offering. SUBSCRIBER and its advisors, if any,
acknowledge that they have received answers to any such inquiries and copies of
