<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vesting:  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Option is vested as to 100% of the shares of Stock purchasable pursuant to the Option upon execution of this Agreement. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exercise:  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You may exercise this Option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares of not less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased
is the total number available for purchase under the Option, by following the exercise procedures as set forth in the Plan. All exercises must take place before the Last Date to Exercise, or such
earlier date following your death, disability or your ceasing to provide services as described below under "Service Requirements." The number of shares you may purchase as of any date cannot exceed
the total number of shares vested by that date, less any shares you have previously acquired by exercising this Option. Section&nbsp;18 of the Plan provides a description of certain events involving
a change in control of the Company that may cause your Option to terminate before the Last Date to Exercise. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Requirements:  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you cease to provide services to the Company or its affiliates, you or your estate will have twelve (12)&nbsp;months from the later of (i)&nbsp;the
cessation of your provision of services to the Company and (ii)&nbsp;the date the Stock become publicly traded as described in </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Section&nbsp;5(f)</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>.
The Board shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to determine if you have ceased to provide services to the Company or its affiliates. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Taxes and Withholding:  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Option shall not constitute an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section&nbsp;422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In the event
that the Company or any of its affiliates determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this
grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or an affiliate. </FONT></P>

guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option and no Option shall be assignable or transferable by you, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. </FONT></P>

same terms and conditions as those offered the proposed transferee. The Company may assign its right of first refusal under this </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Section&nbsp;5(b)</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, in
whole or in part, to (1)&nbsp;any holder of stock or other securities of the Company (a "Stockholder"), (2)&nbsp;any affiliate or (3)&nbsp;any other person or entity that the Board determines
has a sufficient relationship with or interest in the Company. The Company shall give reasonable written notice to you of any such assignment of its rights. The restrictions of this </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><B>Section&nbsp;5(b)</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>
re-apply to any person to whom Stock that was originally acquired pursuant to an Option is sold, pledged, assigned,
bequeathed, gifted, transferred or otherwise disposed of, without regard to the number of such subsequent transferees or the manner in which they acquire the Stock, but the restrictions of this </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><B>Section&nbsp;5(b)
</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> do not apply to a transfer of Stock that occurs as a result of your death or the death of any subsequent transferee (but shall apply
to the executor, the administrator or personal representative, the estate, and the legatees, beneficiaries and assigns thereof). </FONT></P>

permitted assignee, the Company or its permitted assignee may pay you, the transferee of the
Option or other registered owner of the Stock the purchase price in three or fewer annual installments. Interest shall be credited on the installments at the applicable federal rate (as determined for
purposes of Section&nbsp;1274 of the Code) in effect on the date on which the purchase is made. The Company or its permitted assignee shall pay at least one-third of the total purchase
price each year, plus interest on the unpaid balance, with the first payment being made on or before the 60th day after the purchase. </FONT></P>

the term "fair market value" shall mean the price per share established pursuant to an applicable appraisal, as hereinafter defined, prepared by a Board-appointed independent appraiser who satisfies
the requirements that would be applicable under section&nbsp;401(a)(28)(C) of the Code if this was an employee stock ownership plan. To be an applicable appraisal, the appraisal must have been
completed as of a date no more than six (6)&nbsp;months before or after the date of the event giving rise to the necessity of determining the fair market value of shares of Stock hereunder, as the
Board shall determine in good faith. </FONT></P>

pursuant to this Option (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to
