UNDER THE 2005 STOCK OPTION
PLAN
PLATINA ENERGY
GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company
”), and Blair J. Merriam (the “ Employee
”), dated effective March 28, 2007.
The Company
hereby grants to the Employee an option (the “ Option
”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s $.001
par value common stock (“ Stock ”) under the
Platina Energy Group, Inc. 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “
Plan ”) upon the following terms and
conditions:
1.
Purchase Price . The purchase price of the Stock
shall be $0.09 per share, which is not less than the fair market
value of the Stock on the date of this Agreement.
2.
Incentive Stock Option . The Option shall be an
Incentive Stock Option, as defined in the Plan.
3.
Period of Exercise . The Option will expire five
(5) years from the date of this Agreement. The Option
may be exercised only while the Employee is actively employed by
the Company and as provided in Section 6, dealing with termination
of employment.
This Option may
not be exercised for less than fifty shares at any time unless the
number of shares purchased is the total number purchasable at the
time under the Option.
Where the
Employee holds (whether under this Option alone or under this
Option in conjunction with other incentive stock options) incentive
stock options upon shares of the Company’s common stock
having an aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of
grant of each option) exceeding $100,000, the $100,000 Limitation
set forth in Section 4 below may impose additional limitations upon
the exercisability of this Option and any other incentive stock
options granted to the Employee.
4.
$100,000 Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the total fair market value
(determined as of the date of grant of an option) of shares of
stock with respect to which this Option (and any other incentive
stock options granted by the Company) shall become exercisable for
the first time during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000
for the options to be “incentive stock
options.” (Hereinafter this limitation is
sometimes referred to as the “$100,000
Limitation.”) If in any calendar year shares of
stock having a fair market value of more than $100,000 first would
become exercisable, but for the limitations of this section, this
Option shall be exercisable in such calendar year only for shares
having a fair market value not exceeding
$100,000. (Hereinafter, shares with respect to which
this Option is not exercisable in a calendar year due to the
$100,000 Limitation are referred to as “Excess
Shares.”)
This Option
shall become exercisable with respect to Excess Shares from a
calendar year in the next succeeding calendar year (subject to any
other restrictions on exercise which may be contained herein),
provided that the $100,000 limitation shall also be applied to such
succeeding calendar year. Subject to the term of this
Option, such carryovers of Excess Shares shall be made to
succeeding calendar years, including carryovers of any Excess
Shares from previous calendar years, without limitation.
If as of the
date of this Agreement the Employee already holds incentive stock
options granted by the Company (hereinafter any such incentive
stock options are referred to as “Prior Options”), and
the fair market value (determined as the date of grant of each
option) of the shares subject to this Option and the Prior Options
held by the Employee is such that the $100,000 Limitation must be
imposed, the $100,000 Limitation shall be
