                            Proton Laboratories, Inc.

                      June 2, 2005 Stock and Stock Option Plan

1.   PURPOSE. The purpose of the Proton Laboratories, Inc. June 2, 2005 Stock
     and Stock Option Plan ("the Plan") is to promote the financial interests of
     the Company, its subsidiaries and its shareholders by providing incentives
     in the form of stock and stock options to consultants, key employees and
     directors who contribute materially to the success and profitability of the
     Company. The grants of stock or stock options will recognize and reward
     outstanding individual performances and contributions and will give such
     persons a proprietary interest in the Company, thus enhancing their
     personal interest in the Company's continued success and progress. This
     Plan will also assist the Company and its subsidiaries in attracting,
     retaining and motivating key employees and directors. The options granted
     under this Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options, as that term is
     defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
     Nonqualified options taxed under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of
     1986, as amended.

     RULE 16B-3 PLAN. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and
     therefore the Plan is intended to comply with all applicable conditions of
     Rule 16b-3 (and all subsequent revisions thereof) promulgated under the
     Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the
     Committee or the Board of Directors or Committee fails to so comply, it
     shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
     advisable by the Committee. In addition, the Committee or the Board of

<PAGE>
     Directors may amend the Plan from time to time as it deems necessary in
     order to meet the requirements of any amendments to Rule 16b-3 without the
     consent of the shareholders of the Company.

     EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The effective date of this Plan shall be June 2,
     2005. (the "Effective Date"). The Board of Directors shall, within one year
     of the Effective Date, submit the Plan for approval to the shareholders of
     the Company. The plan shall be approved by at least a majority of
     shareholders voting in person or by proxy at a duly held shareholders'
     meeting, or if the provisions of the corporate charter, by-laws or
     applicable state law prescribes a greater degree of shareholder approval
     for this action, the approval by the holders of that percentage, at a duly
     held meeting of shareholders. No Incentive Option or Nonqualified Stock
     Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan ten years after the Effective
     Date. In the event that the Plan is not approved by the shareholders of the
     Company, the Plan shall be deemed to be a non-qualified stock option plan.

     shares in this plan on SEC Form S-8 or other appropriate form from time to

Optionee, which may not be the same in each case.

     iv. fix the Option period for any Option granted which may not be the same
in each case.

     v. make all other determinations necessary or advisable under the Plan.

     vi. determine the minimum number of shares with respect to which Options
may be exercised in part at any time.

     vii. The Committee has the sole and absolute discretion to determine
whether the performance of an eligible Employee warrants an award under this
Plan, and to determine the amount of the award.

     viii. The Committee has full and exclusive power to construe and interpret
this Plan, to prescribe and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan,
and take all actions necessary or advisable for the Plan's administration. Any
such determination made by the Committee will be final and binding on all
persons.

d.   A member of the Committee will not be liable for performing any act or
making any determination in good faith.

4.   SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11 of
the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be granted or optioned
and sold under the Plan shall be 1,500,000 Shares. Such shares may be authorized
but unissued, or may be treasury shares. If an Option shall expire or become
unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, the
unpurchased Shares that were subject to the Option shall, unless the Plan has
then terminated, be available for other Options under the Plan.

     a.   Eligible Persons. Every Eligible Person, as the Committee in its sole
     discretion designates, is eligible to participate in this Plan. Directors
     who are not employees of the Company or any subsidiary or Parent shall only
     be eligible to receive Stock and Incentive Stock Options if and as
     permitted be applicable law and regulations. The Committee's award to a
     participant in any year does not require the Committee to make an award
     that participant in any other year. Furthermore, the Committee may award
     different amounts of Stock or Stock Options to different participants. The
     Committee may consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting
     participants and in determining the amount of their Stock or Stock Options,
     including, without limitation:

     (i)   the financial condition of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

     (ii)  expected profits for the current or future years;

     (iii) the contributions of a prospective participant to the profitability
     and success of the Company or its Subsidiaries; and

     (iv)  the adequacy of the prospective participant's other compensation.

     Participants may include persons to whom stock, stock options, or other
benefits previously were granted under this or another plan of the Company or
any Subsidiary, whether or not the previously granted benefits have been fully
exercised.

<PAGE>
     b.   No Right of Employment. An Eligible Person's right, if any, to
     continue to serve the Company and its Subsidiaries as an Employee will not
     be enlarged or otherwise affected by his designation as a participant under
     this Plan, and such designation will not in any way restrict the right of
     the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, to terminate at any time
     the employment of any

     remaining shares. Such acceleration of vesting may be declared by the
     Committee at any time before the end of the Option Period, including, if
     applicable, after termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service by
     reason of death, disability, retirement or termination of employment.

     e.   Option Price. Except as provided in Section 6(a) the Option price of
     each Share subject to the Option shall equal the Fair Market Value of the

<PAGE>
     f.   Termination of Employment Any Option which has not vested at the time
     the Optionee ceases Continuous Service for any reason other than death,

     designated by the Optionee shall have one year from the Optionee's demise
     or to the end of the Option Period, whichever is earlier, to exercise the
     Option, provided, however, the Option may be exercised only for the number
     of Shares for which it could have been exercised at the time the Optionee
     died, subject to any adjustment under Sections 5(d) and 11.

     total and permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 422 of the
     Code), the Option shall lapse at the earlier of the end of the Option
     Period or twelve months after the date of such termination, provided,
     however, the Option can be exercised at the time the Optionee became
     disabled, subject to any adjustment under Sections 5(d) and 11.

6.   INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Any Options intended to qualify as an Incentive
     Stock Option shall satisfy the following requirements in addition to the
     other requirements of the Plan:

<PAGE>
     a.   Ten Percent Shareholders. An Option intended to qualify as an
     Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who, on the Date of Grant,
     owns stock possessing more than ten (10) percent of the total combined
     voting power of all classes of stock of either the Company or any Parent or
     Subsidiary, shall be granted at a price of 110 percent of Fair Market Value
     on the Date of Grant and shall be exercised only during the five-year
     period immediately following the Date of Grant. In calculating stock
     ownership of any person, the attribution rules of Section 425(d) of the
     Code will apply. Furthermore, in calculating stock ownership, any stock
     that the individual may purchase under outstanding options will not be
     considered.

     b.   Limitation on Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate Fair Market
     Value, determined on the date of Grant, of stock in the Company exercisable
     for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year, under the Plan

     the meaning of Subsection (d) of Section 422 of the Code) in any calendar
     year shall not exceed $100,000.00.

     c.   Exercise of Incentive Stock Options. No disposition of the shares
     underlying an Incentive Stock Option may be made within two years from the
     Date of Grant nor within one year after the exercise of such incentive
     Stock Option.

     d.   Approval of Plan. No Option shall qualify as an Incentive Stock Option
     unless this Plan is approved by the shareholders within one year of the
     Plan's adoption by the Board.

7.   NONQUALIFIED AND INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Any Option not intended to
     qualify as an Incentive Stock Option shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option.
     Nonqualified Stock Options shall satisfy each of the requirements of
     Section 5 of the Plan. An Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock
     Option, but which does not meet all the requirements of an Incentive Stock
     Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

<PAGE>
8.   METHOD OF EXERCISE. An Option granted under this Plan can be exercised when
     the person entitled to exercise the Option (i) delivers written notice to
     the President of the Company of the decision to exercise; (ii) concurrently
     tenders to the Company full payment for the Shares to be purchased pursuant
     to the exercise; and (iii) complies with such other reasonable requirements
     as the Committee establishes pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan. The day
     that the items in this Section 8.(i), (ii) and (iii) are completed shall be
     deemed to be the Exercise Day (the "Exercise Day"). During the lifetime of
     the Employee to whom an Option is granted, such Option may be exercised
     only by him. Payment to the Company by the Option holder of the Exercise
     Price of the Option may be in: (i) cash, (ii) cashier's check, (iii)
     certified check, or, (iv) wholly or partially in the form of Common Stock
     of the Company that has been held by the option holder for at least six
     months prior to the Exercise Day (the "In-Kind Exercise Payment Stock").
     The value of the In-Kind Exercise Payment Stock shall be the closing bid
     price of the Company's Common Stock on the business day immediately prior
     to the Exercise Day. No person shall have the rights of a shareholder with
     respect to Shares subject to an Option granted under this Plan until a
     certificate or certificates for the Shares have been delivered to him.

     An Option granted under this Plan may be exercised in increments of not
     less than 10% of the full number of Shares as to which it can be exercised.
     A partial exercise of an Option will not effect the holder's right to
     exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan as to
     the remaining Shares subject to the Option.

9.   TAXES. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW: APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES. The Company, if
     necessary or desirable, may pay or withhold the amount of any tax
     attributable to any Shares deliverable or amounts payable under this Plan,
     and the Company may defer making delivery or payment until it is
     indemnified to its satisfaction for the tax. Stock is deliverable, and
     Options are exercisable, and Shares can be delivered and payments made
     under this Plan, only in compliance with all applicable federal and state
     laws and regulations, including, without limitation, state and federal

<PAGE>
     securities laws, and the rules of all stock exchanges on which the
     Company's stock is listed at any time. An Option is exercisable only if
     either (i) a registration statement pertaining to the Shares to be issued
     upon exercise of the Option has been flied with and declared effective by
     the Securities and Exchange Commission and remains effective on the date of
     exercise, or (ii) an exemption from the registration requirements of
     applicable securities laws is available. This plan does not require the
     Company, however, to file such registration statement or to assure the
     availability of such exemptions. Any certificate issued to evidence Shares
     issued under the Plan may bear such legends and statements, and shall be
     subject to such transfer restrictions, as the Committee deems advisable to
     assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations and with the
     requirements of this Section 9 of the Plan. No Option may be exercised, and
     no Shares may be issued under this Plan, until the Company has obtained the
     consent or approval of every regulatory body, federal or state, having
     jurisdiction over such matter as the Committee deems advisable.

     Each Person who acquires the right to exercise an Option by bequest or
     inheritance may be required by the Committee to furnish reasonable evidence
     of ownership of the Option as a condition to his exercise of the Option. In
     addition, the Committee may require such consents and release of taxing
     authorities as the Committee deems advisable.

10.  ASSIGNABILITY. An Option granted under this Plan is not transferable except
     by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Option may be
     exercised only by the Optionee during the life of the Optionee. More
     particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing, the Option may be
     not be assigned or transferred except as provided above and shall not be
     assignable by operation of law and shall not be subject to execution,
     attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer or
     distribution contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void and
     without effect.

11.  ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE OF SHARES. If a reorganization, merger,
     consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, combination or exchange
     of shares, stock split, stock dividend, rights offering, or other expansion
     or contraction of the Common Stock of the Company occurs, the number and

<PAGE>
     class of Shares for which Options are authorized to be granted under this
     Plan, the number and class of Shares then subject to Options previously
     granted under this Plan, and the price per Share payable upon exercise of
     each Option outstanding under this Plan shall be equitably adjusted by the
     Committee to reflect such changes. To the extent deemed equitable and
     appropriate by the Committee or the Board, subject to any required action
     by shareholders, in any merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation
     or dissolution, any Option granted under the Plan shall pertain to the
     securities and other property to which a holder of the number of Shares of
     stock covered by the Option would have been entitled to receive in
     connection with such event.

12.  ACCELERATIONS OF OPTIONS UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event that a Change
     of Control has occurred with respect to the Company, any and all Options
     will become fully vested and immediately exercisable with such acceleration
     to occur without the requirement of any further act by either the Company
     or the participant, subject to Section 9 hereof.

13.  LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY. The Company, its Parent and any Subsidiary that
     is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to
     any person for any tax consequences expected but not realized by an
     Eligible Person or other person due to the exercise of an Option.

14.  EXPENSES OF PLAN. The Company shall bear the expenses of administering the
     Plan.

15.  DURATION OF PLAN. Stock may be granted and Options may be granted under
     this Plan only within 10 years from the effective date of the Plan.

16.  AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board of Directors of the
     Company may amend, terminate or suspend this Plan at any time, in its sole
     and absolute discretion; provided, however, that to the extent required to
     qualify this Plan under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the
     Exchange Act, no amendment that would (a) materially increase the number of
     shares of Stock that may be issued under this Plan, (b) materially modify
     the requirements as to eligibility for participation in this Plan, or (c)
     otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under

<PAGE>
     this Plan, shall be made without the approval of the Company's
     shareholders; provided further, however, that to the extent required to
     maintain the status of any Incentive Option under the Code, no amendment
     that would (a) change the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be
     issued under Incentive Options, (b) change the class of employees eligible
     to receive Incentive Options, or (c) decrease the Option price for
     Incentive Options below the Fair Market Value of the Stock at the time it
     is granted, shall be made without the approval of the Company's
     shareholders. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors
     shall have the power to make any changes in the Plan and in the regulations
     and administrative provisions under it or in any outstanding Incentive
     Option as in the opinion of counsel for the Company may be necessary or
     appropriate from time to time to enable any Incentive Option granted under
     this Plan to continue to qualify as an incentive stock option or such other
     stock option as may be defined under the Code so as to receive preferential
     federal income tax treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment,
     suspension or termination of the Plan shall act to impair or extinguish
     rights in Options already granted at the date of such amendment, suspension
     or termination.

17.  FORFEITURE. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, if the
     Committee finds by a majority vote after full consideration of the facts
     that an Eligible Person, before or after termination of his employment with
     the Company or an Affiliate for any reason (a) committed or engaged in
     fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, or proven dishonesty in
     the course of his employment by the Company or an Affiliate, which conduct
     damaged the Company or Affiliate, or disclosed trade secrets of the Company
     or an Affiliate, or (b) participated, engaged in or had a material,
     financial or other interest, whether as an employee, officer, director,
     consultant, attorney, contractor, shareholder, owner, or otherwise, in any
     commercial endeavor anywhere which is competitive with the business of the
     Company or an Affiliate without the written consent of the Company or
     Affiliate, the Eligible Person shall forfeit all outstanding Options,
     including all exercised Options and other situations pursuant to which the
     Company has not yet delivered a stock certificate. Clause (b) shall not be
     deemed to have been violated solely by reason of the Eligible Person's
     ownership of stock or securities of any publicly owned corporation, if that

<PAGE>
     ownership does not result in effective control of the corporation. The
     decision of the Committee as to the cause of an Employee's discharge, the
     damage done to the Company or an Affiliate, and the extent of an Eligible
     Person's competitive activity shall be final. No decision of the Committee,
     however, shall affect the finality of the discharge of the Employee by the
     Company or an Affiliate in any manner.

18.  INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. With respect
     to administration of this Plan, the Company shall indemnify each present
     and future member of the Committee and the Board of Directors against, and
     each member of the Committee and the Board of Directors shall be entitled
     without further act on his part to indemnity from the Company for, all
     expenses (including attorney's fees, the amount of judgments and the amount
     of approved settlements made with a view to the curtailment of costs of
     litigation, other than amounts paid to the Company itself) reasonably
     incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or
     proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his being or having
     been a member of the Committee and/or the Board of Directors, whether or
     not he continues to be a member of the Committee and/or the Board of
     Directors at the time of incurring the expenses, including, without
     limitation, matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in any action,
     suit or proceeding to have been found to have been negligent in the
     performance of his duty as a member of the Committee or the Board of
     Directors. However, this indemnity shall not include any expenses incurred
     by any member of the Committee and/or the Board of Directors in respect of
     matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in any action, suit or
     proceeding to have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in
     the performance of his duty as a member of the Committee and the Board of
     Directors. In addition, no right of indemnification under this Plan shall
     be available to or enforceable by any member of the Committee and the Board
     of Directors unless, within 60 days after institution of any action, suit
     or proceeding, he shall have offered the Company the opportunity to handle
     and defend same at its own expense. The failure to notify the Company
     within 60 days shall only affect a Director or committee member's right to
     indemnification if said failure to notify results in an impairment of the
     Company's rights or is detrimental to the Company. This right of
     indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors or

<PAGE>
     administrators of each member of the Committee and the Board of Directors
     and shall be in addition to all other rights to which a member of the
     Committee and the Board of Directors may be entitled as a matter of law,
     contract, or otherwise.

19.  GENDER. If the context requires, words of one gender when used in this Plan
     shall include the others and words used in the singular or plural shall
     include the other.

20.  HEADINGS. Headings of Articles and Sections are included for convenience of
     reference only and do not constitute part of the Plan and shall not be used
     in construing the terms of the Plan.

21.  OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS. The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any
     other stock, stock option, incentive or other compensation or benefit plans
     in effect for the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall the Plan preclude the
     Company from establishing any other forms of incentive or other
     compensation for employees of the Company or any Affiliate.

22.  OTHER OPTIONS OR AWARDS. The grant of an Option or Awards shall not confer
     upon the Eligible Person the right to receive any future or other Options
     or Awards under this Plan, whether or not Options or Awards may be granted
     to similarly situated Eligible Persons, or the right to receive future
     Options or Awards upon the same terms or conditions as previously granted.

23.  GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed,
     administered, and governed under the laws of the State of California.
