The Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, hereby grants to the Optionee an option to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”) at an exercise price of $0.34 per share (the “Exercise Price”). This option is not intended to constitute an incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”).

In the event that the shareholders of the Company fail to approve the Amendment at the 2006 Annual Meeting, the Company shall pay to the Optionee an amount in cash equal to (i) the number of Options granted to the Optionee pursuant to this Agreement multiplied by (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise minus the Exercise Price.

5.

If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Disability, the Optionee may exercise this option, to the extent exercisable upon the effective date of such termination, at any time within one year after such date, but not thereafter and in no event after the date this option would otherwise have expired.
