Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Granted under the 2007   Stock Incentive Plan
 
1.   Grant of Option .
 
This agreement evidences the grant by Communicate.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), effective on May 22, 2008 (the “Grant Date” or the “Effective Date”) to Brian Collins, an employee of the Company (the “Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms set forth herein and in the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the employee’s Employment Agreement dated March 25, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”), a total of 50,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001   par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to the market closing price of the Common Stock on the Effective Date.  Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the date that is the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date   (the “Final Exercise Date”).
 
It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”).  Should the grant for any reason not be or become eligible to be treated as an incentive stock option under U.S. or Canadian law, it shall be deemed a non-qualified stock option under U.S. or Canadian law.  Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term “Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms.
 
2.   Vesting Schedule .
 
This option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to (i) 33.333% of the Shares on the first   anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) an additional 8.333 % of the Shares on the last day of each successive three-month period thereafter, until all such Shares have vested.
 
The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise Date or the termination of this option hereunder or under the Plan.
 
3.   Exercise of Option .
 
(a)   Form of Exercise .  Each election to exercise this option shall be in writing, signed by the Participant, and received by the Company at its principal office, accompanied by this agreement, and payment in full in the manner provided in the Plan.  The Participant may purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional share or for fewer than one hundred whole shares.

(b)   Continuous Relationship with the Company Required .  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she exercises this option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as defined in Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an “Eligible Participant”).
 
(c)   Termination of Relationship with the Company .
 
(1)    If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason, except as for Termination for Just Cause (as provided herein), Termination without Just Cause (as provided herein), or Upon Death or Disability (as provided in paragraphs (d) below), then the right to exercise this option shall terminate   thirty (30) days after such cessation (but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation.
 
(2)   If the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, is Terminated without Cause (as set forth in the Employment Agreement), the Participant shall retain all vested shares of the option and fifty percent (50%) of the unvested shares of the option as of the date of termination subject to the provisions of Section 3.4 of the Employment Agreement.
 
(3)   If the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, is terminated for Just Cause (as set forth in the Employment Agreement), violates the provisions of any employment contract, or violates any confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately without further notice and obligation to the Participant.
 
(d)   Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability .  If the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “Just Cause” as specified in paragraph (c) above, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of two months following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.
 
4.   Company Right of First Refusal .
