(c) The Board has authorized the granting to Optionee of an incentive stock option (“Option”) as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (“Stock”) upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided by Rule 701 thereunder.

3. Shares; Price. The Company hereby grants to Optionee the right to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Employment Agreement and in Exhibit A-1 to the Employment Agreement, the number of shares of Stock set forth in Section l(c) above (the “Shares”) for cash (or other consideration as is authorized under the Plan and acceptable to the Board, in their sole and absolute discretion) at the price per Share set forth in Section l(d) above (the “Exercise Price”), such price being not less than the fair market value per share of the Shares covered by this Option as of the Effective Date (unless Optionee is the owner of Stock possessing ten percent or more of the total voting power or value of all outstanding Stock of the Company, in which case the Exercise Price shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value of such Stock).

4 Term of Option; Continuation of Employment. This Option shall expire, and all rights hereunder to purchase the Shares shall terminate ten (10) years from the date hereof. This Option shall earlier terminate subject to Sections 7 and 8 hereof upon, and as of the date of, the termination of Optionee’s employment if such termination occurs prior to the end of such ten (10) year period. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon Optionee the right to the continuation of his employment by the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of Optionee from the rate in existence at the date hereof.

5 Vesting of Option. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof, this Option shall become exercisable during the term of Optionee’s employment in accordance with the following provided, however, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of stock with respect to such options that are exercisable by the Optionee for the first time in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such options shall be deemed to be exercisable in the subsequent calendar year’s:

(a) The first installment of 500,000 options are vested and exercisable on the Full Time Date;

(b) 3,500,000 options are being allocated towards technical achievements, deliverables and milestones. Such options shall vest in accordance with the terms and conditions herein and in the Employment Agreements and Exhibit A-l thereto;

In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this Option for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current Market Price per share of the Common Stock and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then current Market Price per share of Common Stock. For example, if the holder is exercising 100,000 Options with a per Option exercise price of $.075 per share through a cashless exercise when the Common Stock’s current Market Price per share is $2.00 per share, then upon such Cashless Exercise the holder will receive 62,500 shares of Common Stock Market Price is defined as the average of the last reported sale prices on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such date.

In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company (collectively, a “Reorganization”), unless otherwise provided by the Board, this Option shall terminate immediately prior to such date as is determined by the Board, which date shall be no later than the consummation of such Reorganization. In such event, if the entity which shall be the surviving entity does not tender to Optionee an offer, for which it has no obligation to do so, to substitute for any unexercised Option a stock option or capital stock of such surviving of such surviving entity, as applicable, which on an equitable basis shall provide the Optionee with substantially the same economic benefit as such unexercised Option, then the Board may grant to such Optionee, in its sole and absolute discretion and without obligation, the right for a period commencing thirty (30) days prior to and ending immediately poor to the date determined by the Board pursuant hereto for termination of the Option or during the remaining term of the Option, whichever is the lesser, to exercise any unexpired Option or Options without regard to the installment provisions of Section 5; provided, however, that such exercise shall be subject to the consummation of such Reorganization.

The grant of this Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, classifications, reorganizations or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

To exercise such option, the Company shall give notice of that fact to Optionee within the thirty (30) day notice period and agree to pay the purchase price in the manner provided in the notice. If the Company does not purchase all of the Shares so offered during foregoing option period, Optionee shall be under no obligation to sell any of the offered Shares to the Company, but may dispose of such Shares in any lawful manner during a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the end of such notice period, except that Optionee shall not sell any such Shares to any other person at a lower price or upon more favorable terms than those offered to the Company.

(e) Acceptance of Restrictions. Acceptance of the Shares shall constitute the Optionee’s agreement to such restrictions and the legending of his certificates with respect thereto. Notwithstanding such restrictions, however, so long as the Optionee is the holder of the Shares, or any portion thereof, he shall be entitled to receive all dividends declared on and to vote the Shares and to all other rights of a shareholder with respect thereto.

(g) Release of Restrictions on Shares. All other restrictions under this Section 16 shall terminate five (5) years following the date of this Agreement, or when the Company’s securities are publicly traded, whichever occurs earlier.

EXHIBIT A-1

To Employment Agreement

Between ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and 3DIcon

Incentive Stock Options Vesting:

The Employee is being granted a total of 4,500,000 Qualified Incentive Stock Options (ISO). These are being granted to incent the employee’s performance that delivers desirable and beneficial results for the company. The options are, above all a means to reward the achievement of results and not as recognition of effort or performance.

Of the 4,500,000 options granted:

3,500,000 options are being allocated towards technical achievements, deliverables and milestones. The employee has a significant role in the achievement of these milestones

1,000,000 options are being allocated towards general milestones over time, that reflect the growth and health of the company

The vesting schedule drawn up is to align the interest of the employee with beneficial results for the company. Since time and urgency are of utmost importance to the growth and performance of the company, a key factor for determining success is the achievement of results within a desired time-frame.

Vesting Schedule for 1,000,000 ISOs

(Based on general company milestones - non technical)

o	200,000 ISO will be fully vested when the company first achieves any of the following milestones:

The company’s stock trades over $1.00

The company recognizes revenue over or equal to $1,000,000 in a calendar year

o	400,000 ISO will be fully vested when the company first achieves any of the following milestones:

The company’s stock trades over $1.50

The company recognizes revenue over or equal to $2,000,000 in a calendar year

o	400,000 ISO will be fully vested when the company first achieves any of the following milestones:

The company’s stock trades over $2.50

The company recognizes revenue over or equal to $2,500,000 in a calendar year

Vesting Schedule for 3,500,000 ISOs

The following Technical Milestones, for which the employee is mainly responsible, have been determined significant to the company’s performance. The milestones are not in chronological order and would be pursued in parallel.

1. Milestone # 1: *

¹^{Stock
Price will be calculated using a 30 day Volume Weighted Average Price
(VWAP)}

2. Milestone #2: *

3. Milestone #3: *

4. Milestone #4: *

5. Milestone #5: *

6. Milestone #6: *

7. Milestone #7: *

Note: *

Technical Milestone(s) Based Vesting Schedule: The options shall vest or expire in accordance with the following schedule:

Notes:

Mitigating Circumstances and Determination of Milestone Achievement: All parties recognize that the certain elements are out of the control of Employee. At the same time the non achievement of milestones for whatever reason is detrimental to the company. Therefore the final decision regarding the achievement of a given milestone shall be made by the Board of Directors of the company in good faith. If Employee is not satisfied by the conclusion reached, then 3DIcon’s Board of Directors will seek the opinion of a person unrelated to 3DIcon or Employee and acceptable to 3DIcon and Employee and the Board will consider the opinion of said person; however, the determination of whether mitigating circumstances justify an adjustment to the vesting schedule or whether a given milestone has been achieved shall be determined exclusively by the Board of Directors and management of 3DIcon.

Assignment to Alternate Milestones: Based upon the company’s goals the above milestones may be changed. Such change would require authorization by the Board of Directors. However, such changes may only be made based upon reasonable company goals.

Unvested or Expired Options: Options that do not vest or expire based on the above schedule may be re-assigned by 3DIcon’s Board of Directors to subsequent milestones and goals. The decision to re-assign or let the options expire shall rest solely with the Board of Directors.

Windfall Provisions

Despite any provision in this Employment Agreement or in the Stock Option Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if, at the time of exercise of any ISO, the prevailing market price of the shares is:

Greater than $5.00 and less than $10.00 per share, then the exercise price shall be 15% of the prevailing market price. For example, if the market price of the shares is $8.00, the exercise price shall be $1.20 per option exercised.

Equal to or greater than $10.00 per share, then the exercise price shall be 25% of the prevailing market price. For example, if the market price of the shares is $16.00, the exercise price shall be $4.00 per option exercised.
