SOLAR, INC. 2008 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS COMPENSATION PLAN (this “Amendment”),
dated as of  November ____, 2008 is made and entered into by Clear
Skies Solar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  Terms

    RECITALS

    

    WHEREAS, Section 8 of the Plan
provides that the Board may amend the Plan from time to time; and

    

    WHEREAS, the Board desires to
amend the Plan to allow the Board to make discretionary grants of Options to the
non-employee directors of the Company.

    

    NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance
with Section 8 of the Plan, the Company hereby amends the Plan as
follows:

    

    1.           Section
2 of the Plan is hereby amended by deleting said Section in its entirety and
substituting in lieu thereof the following new Section 2:

    

    
      	
            	
              2.

            	
              Administration of the
      Plan.

            

    

    

    The Plan
shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company and/or by a duly
appointed committee of the Board having such powers as shall be specified by the
Board (the “Board”).  Any subsequent references herein to the Board
shall also mean the committee if such committee has been appointed and, unless
the powers of the committee have been specifically limited, the committee shall
have all of the powers of the Board granted herein, including, without
limitation, the power to terminate or amend the Plan at any time subject to the
terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law.  The
Board shall have authority to administer the Plan subject to the provisions of
the Plan but, except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b) below, shall have no
authority, discretion or power to select the non-employee directors of the
Company who will receive options under the Plan, to set the exercise price of
the options granted under the Plan, to determine the number of shares of common
stock to be granted upon exercise of options or the time at which such options
are to be granted, to establish the duration of option grants, or to alter other
terms or conditions specified in the Plan.  All questions of
interpretation of the Plan or of any options granted under the Plan (an
“Option”) shall be determined by the Board, and such determinations shall be
final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan and/or any
Option.  Any officer of the Company shall have the authority to act on
behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election
which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein,
provided the officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right,
obligation, or election.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    2.           Section
7 of the Plan is hereby amended by inserting the following new subparagraph (b)
after subparagraph (a) and re-lettering the existing subparagraphs (b) – (f)
accordingly:

    

    (b)           Discretionary Grant of
Options.  In addition to the Options granted pursuant to
Section 7(a) above, subject to execution by the relevant Non-Employee Director
of an appropriate Option Agreement for each Option, Options may be granted to
Non-Employee Directors at any time and from time to time as may be determined by
the Board.  The Board, upon its own action, may from time to time
grant, but is not required to grant, additional Options to any Non-Employee
Directors.  The Board shall have discretion in determining the
Non-Employee Directors to whom additional Options will be granted, the number of
shares of Stock subject to such Options granted to such participants, and the
time in which such Options shall become exercisable.  The Board’s
determinations and the terms and provisions of such Options need not be uniform
and may be made by it selectively among the Non-Employee Directors who may
receive additional Options pursuant to this Section 7(b).

    

    3.            
Section 7(b) of the Plan (Section 7(c) after this Amendment) is hereby amended
by substituting “Section 7(c)” in lieu of the reference to “Section 6(c)”
therein.

    

    4.

Section 7(f)(iv) of the Plan (Section 7(g)(iv) after this Amendment) is hereby
amended by substituting “Section 7(g)” in lieu of all references to “Section
6(f)” therein.

    

    7.

    CLEAR
SKIES SOLAR, INC.

    2008
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION PLAN

    

    NONQUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

    

    This
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Option Agreement”), dated as of
the     day of     ,
200   (the “Grant Date”), is between Clear Skies Solar, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and             (the
“Optionee”), a director of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (a
“Related Corporation”), pursuant to the Clear Skies Solar, Inc. 2008
Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

    

    WHEREAS,
the Company desires to give the Optionee the opportunity to purchase shares of
common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (“Common Shares”) in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached
hereto;

    

    NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and
for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

    

    1.     
Grant of
Option. The Company hereby
grants to the Optionee the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or
any part of an aggregate
of                    Common
Shares. The Option is in all respects limited and conditioned as hereinafter
provided, and is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan
now in effect and as it may be amended from time to time (but only to the extent
that such amendments apply to outstanding options). Such terms and conditions
are incorporated herein by reference, made a part hereof, and shall control in
the event of any conflict with any other terms of this Option Agreement. The
Option granted hereunder is intended to be a nonqualified stock option (“NQSO”)
and not an incentive stock option (“ISO”) as
such term is defined in section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”).

    

    2.     
Exercise
Price. The exercise price
of the Common Shares covered by this Option shall be
$         per share. It is the
determination of the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) that on
the Grant Date the exercise price was not less than the greater of (i) 100% of
the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in the Plan) of a Common Share, or (ii) the
par value of a Common Share.

    

    3.     
Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to
any provision of the Plan or of this Option Agreement, this Option shall expire
on                (the
“Expiration Date”), which date is not more than 10 years from the Grant Date.
This Option shall not be exercisable on or after the Expiration
Date.

     

    4.     
Exercise of
Option. The Option shall
vest according to the following schedule, provided that Optionee remains
continuously engaged as a director, officer or employees of, or consultant or
advisor to, the Company or a Related Corporation from the date hereof through
the applicable vesting date:

    

    
      
        
          
            
              	
                      Date
      Installment Becomes Exercisable

                    	 
      	
                      Number
      of Shares

                    
	 
      	 
      	
                       Shares

                    
	 
      	 
      	
                      an
      additional              Shares

                    
	 
      	 
      	
                      an
      additional              Shares

                    

            

          

        

      

    

    

    The
Committee may accelerate any vesting date of the Option, in its discretion, if
it deems such acceleration to be desirable. Once the Option becomes exercisable,
it will remain exercisable until it is exercised or until it
terminates.

    

    5.     
Method of Exercising
Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and
the Plan, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its
principal office. The form of such notice is attached hereto and shall state the
election to exercise the Option and the number of whole shares with respect to
which it is being exercised; shall be signed by the person or persons so
exercising the Option; and shall be accompanied by payment of the full exercise
price of such shares. Only full shares will be issued.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    The
exercise price shall be paid to the Company:

    

    (a)     
in cash, or by certified
check, bank draft, or postal or express money order;

    

    (b)     
through the delivery of
Common Shares previously acquired by the Optionee;

    

    (c)     
by delivering a properly
executed notice of exercise of the Option to the Company and a broker, with
irrevocable instructions to the broker promptly to deliver to the Company the
amount necessary to pay the exercise price of the Option;

    

    (d)     
in Common Shares newly
acquired by the Optionee upon exercise of the Option; or

    

    (e)     
in any combination of (a),
(b), (c) or (d) above.

    

    In the
event the exercise price is paid, in whole or in part, with Common Shares, the
portion of the exercise price so paid shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of
the Common Shares surrendered on the date of exercise.

     

    Upon
receipt of notice of exercise and payment, the Company shall deliver a
certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares with respect to which
the Option is so exercised. The Optionee shall obtain the rights of a
shareholder upon receipt of a certificate(s) representing such Common
Shares.

    

    Such
certificate(s) shall be registered in the name of the person so exercising the
Option (or, if the Option is exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee so
requests in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name of
the Optionee and the Optionee’s spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship),
and shall be delivered as provided above to, or upon the written order of, the
person exercising the Option. In the event the Option is exercised by any person
after the death or disability (as determined in accordance with Section 22(e)(3)
of the Code) of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by appropriate
proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Common Shares that
are purchased upon exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid
and non-assessable.

    

    Upon
exercise of the Option, Optionee shall be responsible for all employment and
income taxes then or thereafter due (whether Federal, State or local), and if
the Optionee does not remit to the Company sufficient cash (or, with the consent
of the Committee, Common Shares) to satisfy all applicable withholding
requirements, the Company shall be entitled to satisfy any withholding
requirements for any such tax by disposing of Common Shares at exercise,
withholding cash from Optionee’s salary or other compensation or such other
means as the Committee considers appropriate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall impair or limit the
Company’s rights with respect to satisfying withholding obligations under
Section 10 of the Plan.

    

    6.     
Non-Transferability
of Option. This Option is
not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, by the Optionee other than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the
Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or, in the event
of his or her disability, by his or her guardian or legal
representative.

    

    7.     
Termination of
Services. If the Optionee’s services with the Company and all Related
Corporations are terminated for any reason (other than death or disability)
prior to the Expiration Date, then this Option may be exercised by Optionee, to
the extent of the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee
could have exercised it on the date of such termination of services, at any time
prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii) three months after such
termination of services. Any part of the Option that was not exercisable
immediately before the termination of Optionee’s services shall terminate at
that time.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    8.     
Disability. If the Optionee becomes disabled (as
determined in accordance with section 22(e)(3) of the Code) during the period of
his or her service and, prior to the Expiration Date, the Optionee’s services
are terminated as a consequence of such disability, then this Option may be
exercised by the Optionee or by the Optionee’s legal representative, to the
extent of the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee could
have exercised it on the date of such termination of services, at any time prior
to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) one year after such
termination of services. Any part of the Option that was not exercisable
immediately before the Optionee’s termination of services shall terminate at
that time.

    

    9.     
Death. If the Optionee dies during the
period of his or her services and prior to the Expiration Date, or if the
Optionee’s services are terminated for any reason (as described in Paragraphs 7
and 8) and the Optionee dies following his or her termination of services but
prior to the earliest of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii) the expiration of the
period determined under Paragraph 7 or 8 (as applicable to the Optionee), then
this Option may be exercised by the Optionee’s estate, personal representative
or beneficiary who acquired the right to exercise this Option by bequest or
inheritance or by reason of the Optionee’s death, to the extent of the number of
Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the
date of his or her death, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration
Date or (ii) one year after the date of the Optionee’s death. Any part of the
Option that was not exercisable immediately before the Optionee’s death shall
terminate at that time.

    

    10.     
Securities
Matters. (a) If, at any
time, counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or
qualification of the Common Shares subject to the Option upon any securities
exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental or regulatory body, or that the disclosure of non-public
information or the satisfaction of any other condition is necessary as a
condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Common Shares
hereunder, such Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval, or satisfaction of
such condition shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to
the Board of Directors. The Company shall be under no obligation to apply for or
to obtain such listing, registration or qualification, or to satisfy such
condition. The Committee shall inform the Optionee in writing of any decision to
defer or prohibit the exercise of an Option. During the period that the
effectiveness of the exercise of an Option has been deferred or prohibited, the
Optionee may, by written notice, withdraw the Optionee’s decision to exercise
and obtain a refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

    

    (b)     
The Company may require:
(i) the Optionee (or any other person exercising the Option in the case of the
Optionee’s death or Disability) as a condition of exercising the Option, to give
written assurances, in substance and form satisfactory to the Company, to the
effect that such person is acquiring the Common Shares subject to the Option for
his or her own account for investment and not with any present intention of
selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to make such other
representations or covenants; and (ii) that any certificates for Common Shares
delivered in connection with the exercise of the Option bear such legends, in
each case as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, in order to comply with
federal and applicable state securities laws, to comply with covenants or
representations made by the Company in connection with any public offering of
its Common Shares or otherwise. The Optionee specifically understands and agrees
that the Common Shares, if and when issued upon exercise of the Option, may be
“restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and, accordingly, the Optionee may be required to hold
the shares indefinitely unless they are registered under such Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or an exemption from such registration is
available.

     

    (c)     
The Optionee shall have no
rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares covered by the Option
(including, without limitation, any rights to receive dividends or non-cash
distributions with respect to such shares) until the date of issue of a stock
certificate to the Optionee for such Common Shares. No adjustment shall be made
for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
such stock certificate is issued.

    

    11.     
Governing Law.
This Option Agreement shall be governed by the applicable Code provisions to the
maximum extent possible. Otherwise, the laws of the State of Delaware (without
reference to the principles of conflict of laws) shall govern the operation of,
and the rights of the Optionee under, the Plan and Options granted
thereunder.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement
to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer, and the Optionee has
hereunto set his or her hand and seal, all as of the date first above
written.
