chase 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock (each an "Option,"
collectively, the

Options will
be reduced to the lowest price at which the
Company sells any of its equity
securities, or agrees to sell any of its equity
securities through an option,
warrant or convertible security, during the term
of the Options. Each Option
will have a term of three years from the date of grant.
Each Option shall be

exercised to the Company together with a notice of cashless
exercise, in which
event the Company will issue to Consultant the number of
shares of Common Stock
underlying the Options to be exercised less the number of shares of
Common Stock
required to pay the aggregate exercise price of the Options to be
exercised.
3.5 For purposes of Rule
144 ("Rule 144") promulgated under the Securi-
ties Act of 1933, as amended, the Common Stock issued in any
cashless exercise
transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by Consultant,
and the holding
period for such Common Stock shall be deemed to
have been commenced, on the
issue date of the Options.

payments and issuance of the Options under this
Paragraph 3,
"Payment for Services," shall be deemed full and complete
