Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
(“ NASDAQ ”), the Fair Market Value on any given
date shall be the average of the highest bid and lowest asked
prices of the Common Stock as reported for such date or, if no bid

Market Value on any date shall be the closing price reported for
the Common Stock on such exchange or system for such date or, if no
sales were reported for such date, for the last day preceding such
date for which a sale was reported;
(c) If
the Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and not
on any national securities exchange nor in the NASDAQ Reporting
System, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the mean
between the last bid and ask prices per share, as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or an equivalent generally
accepted reporting service, or if not so reported, the average of
the closing bid and asked prices for a share as furnished to the
Company by any member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., selected by the Company for that purpose;
or
(d) If
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock cannot be determined on
the basis previously set forth in this definition on the date that
the Fair Market Value is to be determined, the Board of Directors
of the Company shall in good faith determine the Fair Market Value
of the Common Stock on such date.

of previously owned shares would result in an issuance of a whole
number of Shares and a fractional Share of Common Stock, the value
of such fractional share shall be paid to the Company in cash or by
check by the Holder.

Termination
of Employment or Service; Death.
(a) If

is entitled to keep all Options, whether they be vested or unvested
at the date of termination. The Options will continue to be subject
to the same vesting schedule, expiry date and other terms set forth
in this agreement.
(b) If
Holder’s employment or services are terminated by the
Company
for Cause (as
defined below), the Holder is entitled to keep all options which
have vested as at the termination date. Any Options which have not
vested at the termination date shall forthwith
terminate.

Cause ” shall mean (i) if Holder is a party to a
written agreement with the Company, or provides services to the
Company pursuant to a written services agreement between the
Company and a third party, which contains a definition of
“cause” or “for cause” or words of similar
import for purposes of termination of employment or service
thereunder by the Company, “cause” or “for
cause” as defined in such agreement; and (ii) in all
other cases (A) the Holder’s intentional and persistent
failure, dereliction, or refusal to perform such duties as are
reasonably assigned to him or her by the officers or directors of
the Company; (B) the Holder’s fraud, dishonesty or other
deliberate injury to the Company in the performance of his or her
duties on behalf of, or for, the Company; (C) the Holder’s
conviction of a crime which constitutes a felony involving moral
turpitude, fraud or deceit in the jurisdiction in which the Holder
is employed, regardless of whether such crime involves the Company;
or (D) the willful commission by the Holder of a criminal or other
act that causes substantial economic damage to the Company or
substantial injury to the business reputation of the
Company. For purposes of this Option, no act, or failure
to act, on the part of any person shall be considered
“willful” unless done or omitted to be done by the
person other than in good faith and without reasonable belief that
the person’s action or omission was in the best interest of
the Company.
(c) If
Holder shall die while employed by or providing services to the
Company and prior to the Option Termination Date, the Holder is
entitled to keep all options which have vested as at the date of
death. Any Options which have not vested at the date of death shall
forthwith terminate. This Option may be exercised only by the
Holder’s personal representative or persons entitled thereto
under the Holder’s will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
(d) If
Holder ceases to be employed or provide services to the Company due
to Holder’s resignation, the Holder is entitled to keep all
options which have vested as at the date of resignation. Any
Options which have not vested at the date of resignation shall
forthwith terminate.
(e) This
Option may not be exercised for more Shares (subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 11 hereof) after the termination of the
Holder’s employment, cessation of services to the Company, or
death, as the case may be, than the Holder was entitled to purchase
thereunder at the time of the termination of the Holder’s
employment, the cessation of services to the Company, or
death.
3.4
Exercise Date; Delivery of Certificates.
This Option shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its
surrender for exercise as provided above, and Holder shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as
of the close of business on such date. As promptly as
practicable on or after such date and in any event within ten (10)
days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver
to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of
Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that
this Option is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will
execute and deliver a new Option of like tenor exercisable for the
number of shares for which this Option may then be
exercised.
4.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional
shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Option. In lieu of any fractional
share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company
shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by
such fraction.
5.
Replacement of Option . On receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Option and, in the case of loss,
theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in
the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this
Option, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in
lieu of this Option, a new Option of like tenor and
amount.
6.
Rights of Stockholder . Except as otherwise
contemplated herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or
receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any
other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on
the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained
herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the
election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders
at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of
stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of
stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or
otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Option
shall have been exercised as provided herein.
7.1.
Non-Transferability . This Option shall not be
assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way, nor
subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any
attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of this Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and
the levy of an execution, attachment, or similar process upon the
Option, shall be null and void and without effect.
7.2.
Compliance with Securities Laws; Restrictions on
Transfers. In addition to restrictions on transfer
of this Option and Shares set forth in Section 7.1
above.
(a) The
Holder of this Option, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this

requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form
satisfactory to the Company, that the Shares of Common Stock so
purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own
account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment
(unless such shares are subject to resale pursuant to an effective
prospectus), and not with a view toward distribution or
resale.
(b) Neither
this Option nor any share of Common Stock issued upon exercise of
this Option may be offered for sale or sold, or otherwise
transferred or sold in any transaction which would constitute a
sale thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act, unless (i) such
security has been registered for sale under the 1933 Act and
registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws
relating to the offer and sale of securities; or (ii) exemptions
from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and the
