Exhibit 10.20

SECOND AMENDED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is
made and entered into as of May 15, 2006 by and between IMARX THERAPEUTICS,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and XXXX X. XXXXX ("Executive")
and replaces the Executive Employment Agreement dated July 12, 2004 (the
"Original Agreement"), as it was previously amended on August 8, 2005 (the
"First Amended Agreement").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the services of Executive, and
Executive desires to be employed by the Company, on the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, the Company and Executive, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Company agrees to employ Executive as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Executive accepts such employment
and agrees to perform full-time employment services for the Company, subject to
Section 3.2 and the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended from time to time (the
"Organizational Documents"), and the resolutions of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Board"), for the period and upon the other terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2. Term. The term of Executive's employment hereunder (the "Term")
commenced upon the date of execution of the Original Agreement and shall
continue until this Agreement is terminated as set forth in Section 5 below.

3. Position and Duties.

3.1. Service with the Company. During the Term of this Agreement,
Executive agrees to perform the duties of the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company as set forth in the Organizational Documents and such
other duties as the Board may from time to time prescribe that are consistent
with the duties of a Chief Executive Officer of a company of the size and nature
of the Company. In addition, during the Term, Executive shall, if elected by the
stockholders, serve without any additional compensation on the Company's Board.
The Company agrees to nominate Executive for annual election as a member of its
Board, so long as he continues to hold the position of Chief Executive Officer.

3.2. No Conflicting Duties. Executive hereby confirms that he is
under no contractual commitments inconsistent with his obligations set forth in
this Agreement, and that during the Term of this Agreement, he will not render
or perform services, or enter into any contract to do so, for any other
corporation, firm, entity or person that are inconsistent with the provisions of
this Agreement or Executive's fiduciary obligations to the Company. Except as
otherwise provided herein, Executive shall not serve as a director of any other
corporation (except nonprofit organizations to the extent such service does not
materially affect Executive's performance of his duties for the Company) without
the prior approval of the Board of Directors. Company acknowledges that
Executive is Professor of Radiology and Bioengineering at the University of
Arizona and furthermore approves Executive to work up to 6 days per month at the
University of Arizona (or other University) in research, administration,
teaching and/or clinical work.

4. Compensation and Benefits.

4.1. Base Salary. (a) As compensation for all services to be
rendered by Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive
during the Term an annual salary of $250,000 (the "Base Salary"). Subject to
Section 4.1(b), the Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually and changed
at the discretion of the Board (or its Compensation Committee), provided,
however, that the Base Salary may not be decreased without the written consent
of the Executive. The Company shall pay the Base Salary to Executive in
accordance with the Company's normal payroll procedures and policies.

(b) If Executive's Base Salary is increased at any time, it shall not
thereafter be decreased during the Term of this Agreement, unless such decrease
is the result of a general reduction (on the same percentage basis) affecting
the base salaries of all other executive officers of the Company and such
decrease does not result in a Base Salary of less than $200,000.

4.2. Annual Bonus. With respect to each full fiscal year until the
Termination Date, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus award
of up to 50% of Base Salary, payable quarterly, as determined by annual
pre-determined milestones, the current version of which is attached as Exhibit
A, which shall be mutually agreeable to Executive and the Board (or its
Compensation Committee) in its sole discretion.

4.3. Stock Options. (a) As of the date of the First Amended
Agreement, the Company granted (the "Original Grant") to Executive stock options
to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares"),
pursuant to the Company's 2000 Stock Plan (the "Plan"), generally having a term
of ten years, vesting and exercisable as hereinafter set forth, and otherwise in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Original Grant was intended, to the
extent legally permissible, to comprise "incentive stock options", with the
balance being "nonqualified stock options", and the exercise price per share was
to be based on the fair market

value of the Company's common stock at the time of grant as determined by the
Board in its good faith discretion. Subject to Executive being employed
hereunder at the time of each vesting, as applicable, the Original Grant was to
vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) 45,000 shares on each of the four
anniversary dates following July 12, 2004; and (ii) 420,000 shares according to
the milestones established in Exhibit B attached to the First Amended Agreement,
of which two milestones covering 200,000 shares have lapsed and expired and the
related 200,000 shares are not exercisable and have been returned to the Plan,
leaving a remainder of 220,000 shares subject to vesting according to Exhibit B
attached to this Agreement. After execution of the First Amended Agreement, on
December 14, 2005, the Company further granted Executive a "nonqualified stock
option" for the purchase of 65,000 shares of common stock at a price based on
the fair market value at the time of grant as determined by the Board in its
good faith discretion. As a result of the foregoing grants, vesting that has
occurred thereunder to the date of this Agreement, and the lapse of two of the
milestones described in the First Amended Agreement, the options currently held
by Executive are as follows:

Tax Vesting Schedule Expiration

In addition, a portion of the unvested Options shall vest as described in
Sections 6.3 and 7 hereof. If the Company's common stock is registered under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the
Company shall use its good faith efforts to register under the Securities Act of
1933 on Form S-8 (or any successor form) all common stock issued and/or issuable
under the 2000 Stock Plan, including the Shares subject to the Original Grant
and all other stock options or incentives granted or awarded to Executive under
the 2000 Stock Plan, and its good faith efforts to qualify such common stock for
sale under such state securities or `blue sky' laws as the Company shall
determine are required to issue the shares of common stock under the 2000 Stock
Plan and for the resale of such shares by the recipients thereof, provided that
the Company shall have no obligation to qualify such stock in any particular
jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent
to

service of process in effecting such qualification, unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Securities Act.

4.4. Participation in Benefit Plans. Executive shall be included to
the extent eligible thereunder in any and all plans of the Company providing
general benefits for the Company's executive employees, including, without
limitation, medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability insurance,
life insurance, 401(k) plan, sick days, vacation, and holidays. Executive's
participation in any such plan or program shall be subject to the provisions,
rules, and regulations applicable thereto. In addition, during the Term of this
Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to participate in all non-qualified
deferred compensation and similar compensation, incentive, bonus, profit sharing
and stock plans offered, sponsored or established by Company on substantially
the same or a more favorable basis as any other employee of Company.

4.5. Business Expenses. In accordance with the Company's policies
established from time to time, the Company will pay or reimburse Executive for
all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in the
performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to the presentment of
appropriate supporting documentation. During the Term of this Agreement, the
Company shall at its expense provide Executive with reasonable office space and
furnishings (including without limitation desk and lap top computers) at the
Company's principal executive offices, and a cell telephone.

4.6. Key Man Life Insurance. During the Term of this Agreement, the
Company shall have the option of purchasing and paying the premiums for a "Key
Man" life insurance policy relating to Executive in a coverage amount determined
by the Company, and the Company shall be named as the beneficiary of such
policy. Executive represents and warrants that he currently is insurable for
such policy on an unrated basis and agrees to fully cooperate with the Company
in obtaining the policy.

5. Termination.

5.1. Disability. At the Company's election, Executive's employment
and this Agreement shall terminate upon Executive's becoming totally or
permanently disabled for a period of ninety (90) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "totally or permanently
disabled" or "total or permanent disability" means Executive's inability on
account of sickness or accident, whether or not job-related, to engage in
regularly or to perform adequately his assigned duties under this Agreement and
Executive is qualified and eligible to receive disability benefits under the
disability policies maintained by the Company for Executive.

material loss to the Company, or (iv) materially violated any material written

reasonable written directions given by the Board or its designee or materially

the Company, unless cured by Executive within 30 days following written notice
thereof to Executive.

5.4. Resignation. Executive's employment and this Agreement shall

submission of Executive's resignation to the Company or the date such
resignation is accepted by the Company.

5.5. Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate
Executive's employment and this Agreement without cause upon written notice to

employment with the Company, Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company all

that relate in any way to the business, strategies, products, practices,

secrets and confidential information of the Company, including, but not limited
to, all documents that in whole or in part contain any trade secrets or
confidential information of the Company that in any of these cases are in his
possession or under his control, and Executive shall also remove all such
information from any personal computers that he owns or controls.

6. Compensation Upon the Termination of Executive's Employment.

6.1. In the event that Executive's employment and this Agreement are
terminated pursuant to Section 5.1 (Disability), 5.3 (Cause), or 5.4
(Resignation), then Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive's then
current Base Salary through the date his employment is terminated, and such
other amounts that accrued prior to the termination date and are required to be
paid to him pursuant to any employee benefit plan in accordance with such plan
and/or by law, but no other compensation of any kind or amount.

6.2. In the event Executive's employment and this Agreement are

Company shall pay to Executive, as a severance allowance, his then current
monthly Base Salary for the six (6) month period following the date of
termination, paid on the Company's regular paydays throughout that 6-month
period, followed by a one-time lump sum payment (the "Lump Sum Payment") on the
next regular payday of an amount equal to six months of his then current monthly
Base Salary (i.e. one-half of his annual Base Salary), for a total severance
allowance equal to one (1) year of his Base Salary, and such other salary that
accrued prior to the termination date and amounts required to be paid to him
pursuant to any employee benefit plan in accordance with such plan and/or by
law; and (B) Executive shall receive accelerated vesting for twelve (12) months
from the date of Executive's termination for all stock options granted by the
Company to Executive before or after the Commencement Date and extension of the
option exercise period for an additional twelve (12) months beyond the period
set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto for such exercise, provided, however,
that such stock options shall not be extended beyond the date on which they
would have terminated had Executive continued to be employed by the Company; but
no other compensation or benefits of any kind. Executive shall be entitled to
receive these benefits and payments only if he complies with his continuing
obligations to the Company as set forth in this Agreement, provided, however,
that the Company shall not deny any such benefits unless it has provided written
notice to Executive of any claimed breach of such continuing obligations and
Executive has failed to cure each such breach within fifteen days after receipt
of such written notice of breach and the exercise period of any such options
shall be tolled during such fifteen (15) day period or any longer period
required to resolve any disputed claim of breach of such continuing obligations,
and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not limit Executive's ability to
exercise any such options that had vested prior to the date of termination of
his employment which he exercises within ninety (90) days after such termination
date.

6.4. The provisions of Section 6 shall not affect Executive's
participation in or terminating distributions and vested rights under, any
pension, profit sharing, insurance or other employee benefit plan of the Company
to which Executive is entitled pursuant to the terms of such plans.

occurs and, in the six month periods preceding or following the Change in
Control, Executive's employment and this Agreement are terminated by the Company
or its successor, assigns or transferee pursuant to Section 5.5 (Without Cause)
or by Executive for "Good Reason" (as defined below), then the Company shall,
within thirty (30) days after occurrence of the last of these conditions (the
"Trigger Date"), pay Executive a lump sum amount equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of Executive's then current annual Base Salary (less applicable
withholdings). In addition, one hundred percent (100%) of Executive's unvested
options (whether granted before or after the Commencement Date) as of the
Trigger Date, shall automatically vest as of the Trigger Date and the exercise
period for all such stock options shall be extended an additional twelve (12)
months.

7.1. Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this
Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if, at any
time during the Term, any of the following events occurs:

7.1.1. if the Company does not have a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"):

7.1.1.1. any person, as that term is used in Section
13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, becomes a
beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act or any successor rule or regulation), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding Voting Stock, as defined below, provided, however,
that for purposes of this paragraph, the term "person" shall
exclude (A) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, (B) a person who beneficially owns 25% or more
of the Company's outstanding Voting Stock on the Effective

connection with the Company's financing.

7.1.1.2. the Company is merged, consolidated or
reorganized into or with another corporation or other legal
person (an "Acquiring Person") or securities of the Company
are exchanged for securities of an Acquiring Person, and as a
result of such merger, consolidation, reorganization or
exchange less than a majority of the combined voting power of
the then outstanding securities of the Acquiring Person
immediately after such transaction are held, directly or
indirectly, in the aggregate by the holders of securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
("Voting Stock") of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction;

7.1.1.3. the Company, in any transaction or series of
related transactions, sells or otherwise transfers, directly
or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets, on a
consolidated basis, to an Acquiring Person, and less than a
majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
securities of the Acquiring Person immediately after such sale
or transfer are held, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate
by the holders of Voting Stock of the Company immediately
prior to such sale or transfer; or

7.1.1.4. during any period of two consecutive years,
commencing upon the closing of the Company's private placement
financing and the appointment of the Board of Directors in
connection therewith, individuals who at the beginning of any
such period constitute the directors of the Company cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless
the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders, of each director of the Company first elected
during such period was approved by at least a majority vote of
the directors of the Company then still in office who were
directors of the Company at the beginning of any such period;

7.1.2. if the Company has a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act:

7.1.2.1. any person, as that term is used in Section
13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, becomes, is
discovered to be, or files a report on Schedule 13D or 14D-1
(or any successor schedule, form or report) disclosing that
such person is, a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act or any successor rule or regulation),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company's then outstanding Voting Stock, provided, however,
that for purposes of this paragraph, the term "person" shall
exclude (A) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, (B) a person who becomes such a beneficial owner
in connection with the Company's initial public offering of
common stock or (C) any person who was a shareholder of the

refer to such a change of a majority of the Board of Directors
during any one year period).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in
Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company's
incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially
the same proportions by the persons who held the Company's securities
immediately before such transaction.

7.2. Definition of Good Reason. As used in this Agreement, "Good
Reason" means any of the following: (i) a material reduction in Executive's
title, status, authority, or responsibility at the Company, including without
limitation the failure of Executive to be elected to the Board of Directors of
the Company during the Term for any reason other than termination of Executive's
employment pursuant to Section 5.3; or (ii) a material reduction in the benefits
in effect for the Executive, and comparable reductions have not been made in the

cured within 30 days after written notice of breach from Executive.

8. Release. As a condition precedent to the Company's obligation to
provide Executive with the amounts set forth in Section 6.3 or Section 7,
Executive must first execute and deliver to the Company a mutual legal release
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such changes as the Company deems
necessary in order to maintain the breadth of such release in the event of
changes in applicable laws, rules or regulations, it being the intent of the
parties that the release be as broad as possible.

9. Ventures. If, during the Term of this Agreement, Executive is engaged
in or associated with the planning or implementing of any project, program, or
venture involving the Company and a third party or parties, all rights in the
project, program, or venture shall belong to the Company and shall constitute a
corporate opportunity belonging exclusively to the Company. Except as approved
in writing by the Board, Executive shall not be entitled to any interest in such
project, program, or venture or to any commission, finder's fee, or other
compensation in connection therewith other than the Base Salary to be paid to
Executive as provided in this Agreement.

Trade Secrets, the disclosure of which would be wrongful and would cause
irreparable injury to the Company: (i) pharmaceutical manufacturing; (ii)
formulation technology; (iii) pricing information; (iv) product development,
marketing, sales, customer, manufacturer and supplier information related to any
Company product or service available commercially or in any stage of development

10.1.3. "Non-Competition Period" means a period of 12 months
after the termination of Executive's employment with the Company unless a court

months, or 6 months after the termination of Executive's employment with the
Company.

10.1.4. "Business Territory" means the entire United States,
unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that that geographic scope
is unenforceable under applicable law because it is too broad, in which case the
Business Territory shall be amended by eliminating geographical areas and states

reasonable: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho,

own benefit or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or entity other
than the Company, any Trade Secrets of the Company.

10.3. Non-Competition Obligations. Executive acknowledges the
substantial amount of time, money, and effort that the Company has spent and
will spend in developing its products and other strategically important
information (including Trade Secrets), and agrees that during Executive's
employment with the Company hereunder and during the Non-Competition Period,
Executive will not, alone or with others, directly or indirectly, as an

person or entity that engages in Restricted Field activities in the Business
Territory; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will prohibit

tolled during any period in which the Executive is in breach of the restriction
set forth in this Section 10.5.

10.6. Defamatory Statements. Executive agrees that during
Executive's employment with the Company hereunder and thereafter, he will not,
either directly or indirectly, defame the reputation, character, or image of the

different jobs in Executive's Profession besides those in the Restricted Field;
(vi) the covenants set forth herein do not completely restrain Executive from
working in Executive's Profession, and Executive can earn a livelihood in
Executive's Profession without violating any of the covenants set forth herein;
(vii) Executive has received and will receive substantial consideration for
agreeing to such covenants, including without limitation the consideration to be
received by Executive under this Agreement; (viii) if Executive were to work for
a competing company that engages in activities in the Restricted Field, there
would be a substantial risk that Executive would inevitably disclose Trade
Secrets to that company; (ix) the Company competes with other companies that
engage in Restricted Field Activities in the Business Territory, and if
Executive were to engage in prohibited activities in the Restricted Field within
the Business Territory, it would harm the Company; (x) the Company expends
considerable resources on hiring, training, and retaining its employees and if
Executive were to engage in prohibited activities during the Non-Solicitation
Period, it would harm the Company; and (xi) the Company expends considerable
resources acquiring, servicing, and retaining its Customers and if Executive
were to engage in prohibited activities during the Non-Solicitation Period, it
would harm the Company.

which the Company may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or
(iii) of which at least a majority of the equity investment and of the voting
control is owned, directly or indirectly, by, or is under common ownership with,

damages in addition to injunctive relief.

provisions of this Agreement, except by a statement in writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement of the waiver or estoppel is sought. Any written
waiver shall not be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated, shall
operate only as to the specific term or condition waived, and shall not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act
other than that specifically waived.

13.7. Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement
shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted from this
Agreement and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be
unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect.

director to be indemnified by the Company under the Organizational Documents, as

Except as set forth in the Employment Agreement, these Options may be

may be exercised, to the extent then vested, for one year after Optionee ceases

II. AGREEMENT

1. Grant of Option. The Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the
Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the "Optionee"), options (the "Options")
to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the
exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise
Price"), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 14(c) of the Plan, in the
event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

To the extent designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock
Option ("ISO"), these Options are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options
as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it
exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), these Options shall be treated
as a Nonqualified Stock Options ("NQO").

2. Exercise of Options. These Options shall be exercisable during their
term in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan as follows:

(a) Right to Exercise.

(i) Subject to subsections 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) below, these
Options shall be exercisable cumulatively according to the vesting schedule set
forth in the Notice of Grant. Alternatively, at the election of the Optionee,
these Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time as to Shares that
have not yet vested. Vested Shares shall not be subject to the Company's
repurchase right (as set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement,
attached hereto as Exhibit C-1).

(ii) As a condition to exercising these Options for unvested
Shares, the Optionee shall execute the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

(iii) These Options may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.

(b) Method of Exercise. These Options shall be exercisable by delivery
of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice")
which shall state the election to exercise an Option, the number of Shares with
respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations
and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be
accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised

Shares. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of
such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless
such issuance and such exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such
compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred
to the Optionee on the date on which an Option is exercised with respect to such
Shares.

3. Optionee's Representations. In the event the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time an Option
is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with
the exercise of all or any portion of an Option, deliver to the Company his or
her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B.

4. Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by the
Company or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing Underwriter")
in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the
Company under the Securities Act, Optionee shall not sell or otherwise transfer
any Shares or other securities of the Company during the 180-day period (or such
other period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and
agreed to in writing by the Company) (the "Market Standoff Period") following
the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act. Such restriction shall apply only to the first registration
statement of the Company to become effective under the Securities Act that
includes securities to be sold on behalf of the Company to the public in an
underwritten public offering under the Securities Act. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing
restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

5. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by
any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

(a) cash;

(b) check;

(c) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless
exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

(d) surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised
Shares.

6. Restrictions on Exercise. An Option may not be exercised until such time
as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, or if the
issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of
consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable
Law.

7. Non-Transferability of Options. These Options may not be transferred in
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of
the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

8. Term of Option. An Option may be exercised only within the term set out
in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance
with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

9. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of
this Option Agreement of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of
Options and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE,
AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD
CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING AN OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

(a) Exercise of NQO. There may be a regular federal income tax
liability upon the exercise of an NQO. The Optionee will be treated as having
received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the
excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of
exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former
Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation
or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of
exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if
such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

(b) Exercise of ISO. If an Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be
no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option,
although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on
the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to
the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject the
Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

(c) Exercise of ISO Following Disability. If the Optionee ceases to be
an Employee as a result of a disability that is not a total and permanent
disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent permitted
on the date of termination, the Optionee must exercise an ISO within three
months of such termination for the ISO to be qualified as an ISO.

(d) Disposition of Shares. In the case of an NQO, if Shares are held
for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be
treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. In the case
of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least
one year after exercise and at least two years after the Date of Grant, any gain
realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital
gain for federal income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are
disposed of within one year after exercise or two years after the Date of Grant,
any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income
(taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the
Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares and the lesser of (i) the Fair Market
Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale price of
the Exercised Shares. Different rules may apply if the Shares

are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section
83 of the Code) at the time of purchase. Any additional gain will be taxed as
capital gain, short-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held.

(e) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If an Option
granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise
disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the
later of (i) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one
year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the
Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be
subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized by the Optionee.

(f) Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant to
Options. With respect to the exercise of an Option for unvested Shares, an
election (the "Election") may be filed by the Optionee with the Internal Revenue
Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the
purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of
purchase. In the case of an NQO, this will result in a recognition of taxable
income to the Optionee on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any,
of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares, at the time the Option is
exercised over the purchase price for the Exercised Shares. Absent such an
election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Optionee at the time
or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses. In the case of an ISO,
such an election will result in a recognition of income to the Optionee for
alternative minimum tax purposes on the date of exercise, measured by the
excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares, at the time
the Option is exercised, over the purchase price for the Exercised Shares.
Absent such an election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and
recognized by Optionee at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase
Option lapses. Optionee is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her
own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the
advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83 (b) of the Code. A form
of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference.

OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY
AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON
OPTIONEE'S BEHALF.

10. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by
reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their
entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with
respect to the subject matter hereof, including prior option agreements relative
thereto, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by
means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This Option Agreement is
governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of the
State of Arizona.

11. No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE

HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE
COMPANY (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR
ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS
AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET
FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT
ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S
RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME,
WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents
that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby
accepts these Options subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.
Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option Agreement in their entirety, has
had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this
Option Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Options. Optionee
hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or
interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan
or this Option Agreement. Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any
change in the residence address indicated below.

4. Rights as Shareholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by
the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the optioned stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to the
Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised. No adjustment
shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior
to the date of issuance except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

5. Company's Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Optionee or
any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the "Holder") may
be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of
law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to
purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the
"Right of First Refusal").

(a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall
deliver to the Company a written notice (the "Notice") stating: (i) the Holder's
bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of
each proposed purchaser or other transferee ("Proposed Transferee"); (iii) the
number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee;

and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder
proposes to transfer the Shares (the "Offered Price"), and the Holder shall
offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by
giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than
all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed
Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c)
below.

(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the
Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section shall be
the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash,
the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

(d) Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the
option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of
all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company
(or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any
combination thereof within 30 days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner
and at the times set forth in the Notice.

(e) Holder's Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the
Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the
Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the Holder may
sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the
Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is
consummated within 120 days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or
other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and
that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this
Section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed
Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the
Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the
Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right
of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise
transferred.

(f) Exception for Certain Family Transfers, Anything to the contrary
contained in this Section notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the
Shares during the Optionee's lifetime or on the Optionee's death by will or
intestacy to the Optionee's immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the
Optionee's immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section.
"Immediate Family" as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or
antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or
other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the
provisions of this Section, and there shall be no further transfer of such
Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section.

(g) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal
shall terminate as to any Shares upon the first sale of Common Stock of the
Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with
and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

6. Tax Consultation. Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer adverse
tax consequences as a result of Optionee's purchase or disposition of the
Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax consultants
Optionee deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the
Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

7. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

(a) Legends. Optionee understands and agrees that the Company shall
cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto,
to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together
with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or
federal securities laws:

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

OPTIONEE : ________________________

COMPANY : IMARX THERAPEUTICS, INC.

SECURITY : COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT : ________________________

DATE : ________________________

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned
Optionee represents to the Company the following:

(a) Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is
acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own account only and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").

(b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection,
Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if
Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold
these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax
statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the
market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed
period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be
held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities
Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further
acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register
the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the
Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the
Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in
the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and with any other legend
required under applicable state securities laws.

(c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144,
each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited
public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from
the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule
701 at

the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt
from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any
market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may
be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by
Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and,
in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information
about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three
month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the
timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at
the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain
limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the
resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the
Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an
affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of
acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who
subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph
immediately above.

(d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under
the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any
such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

Signature of Optionee:

2000 STOCK PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made between __________________________________ (the
"Purchaser") and ImaRx Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") as of
_________________________, ______.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the 2000 Stock Plan
shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to the exercise of the option (grant number ________________)
granted to Purchaser under the Plan and pursuant to the Option Agreement dated
___________________________________, _______ by and between the Company and
Purchaser with respect to such grant (the "Option"), which Plan and Option
Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, Purchaser has elected to
purchase _________________________________ of those shares of Common Stock which
have not become vested under the vesting schedule set forth in the Option
Agreement ("Unvested Shares"). The Unvested Shares and the shares subject to the
Option Agreement which have become vested are sometimes collectively referred to
herein as the "Shares".

B. As required by the Option Agreement, as a condition to Purchaser's
election to exercise the option, Purchaser must execute this Agreement, which
sets forth the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to Shares
acquired upon exercise of the Option.

1. Repurchase Option.

(a) If Purchaser's status as a Service Provider is terminated for any
reason, including for cause, death, and Disability, the Company shall have the
right and option to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser's personal
representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares as of
the date of such termination at the price paid by the Purchaser for such Shares
(the "Repurchase Option").

(b) Upon the occurrence of such termination, the Company may exercise
its Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered mail, to
Purchaser (or his transferee or legal representative, as the case may be),
within ninety (90) days of the termination, a notice in writing indicating the
Company's intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and setting forth a date
for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice. The
closing shall take place at the Company's office. At the closing, the holder of
the certificates for the Unvested Shares

being transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing
the Unvested Shares, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor.

(c) At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the
Unvested Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail
itself of this option by a notice in writing to Purchaser stating the name and
address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company's
office.

(d) If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase Option
conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety (90) days following
the termination, the Repurchase Option shall terminate.

(e) The Repurchase Option shall terminate in accordance with the
vesting schedule contained in Optionee's Option Agreement.

2. Transferability of the Shares; Escrow.

(a) Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of the
Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer the
Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from
Purchaser to the Company.

(b) To insure the availability for delivery of Purchaser's Unvested
Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option under
Section 1, Purchaser hereby appoints the Secretary, or any other person
designated by the Company as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to sell,
assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unvested Shares, if any, repurchased
by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option and shall, upon execution of
this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such
other person designated by the Company, the share certificates representing the
Unvested Shares, together with the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank,
attached hereto as Exhibit C-2. The Unvested Shares and stock assignment shall
be held by the secretary in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of
the Company and Purchaser attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto, until the Company
exercises its Repurchase Option, until such Unvested Shares are vested, or until
such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. As a further condition to
the Company's obligations under this Agreement, the spouse of the Purchaser, if
any, shall execute and deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse attached
hereto as Exhibit C-4. Upon vesting of the Unvested Shares, the escrow agent
shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser the certificate or certificates
representing such Shares in the escrow agent's possession belonging to the
Purchaser, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations
hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent shall nevertheless retain
such certificate or certificates as escrow agent if so required pursuant to
other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it
may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while
acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.

(d) Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on
transfer imposed by any applicable state and federal securities laws. Any
transferee shall hold such Shares subject to all the provisions hereof and the
Exercise Notice executed by the Purchaser with respect to any Unvested Shares
purchased by Purchaser and shall acknowledge the same by signing a copy of this
Agreement.

3. Ownership, Voting Rights, Duties. This Agreement shall not affect in any
way the ownership, voting rights or other rights or duties of Purchaser, except
as specifically provided herein.

4. Legends. The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued hereunder
shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend required
under applicable federal and state securities laws):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AS SET FORTH IN AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS
ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

5. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares and
the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the
Shares which may be made by the Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan after
the date of this Agreement.

6. Notices. Notices required hereunder shall be given in person or by
registered mail to the address of Purchaser shown on the records of the Company,
and to the Company at their respective principal executive offices.

7. Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to and bind Purchaser and
the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs,
legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors.

8. Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she has
been informed that, with respect to the exercise of an Option for Unvested
Shares, an election (the "Election") may be filed by the Purchaser with the
Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the exercised
Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on
any difference between the purchase price of the exercised Shares and their Fair
Market Value on the date of purchase. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, this will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser on
the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value
of the exercised Shares, at the time the Option is exercised over the purchase
price for the exercised Shares. Absent such an Election, taxable income will be
measured and recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company's
Repurchase Option lapses. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such an
Election will result in a recognition of income to the Purchaser for alternative
minimum tax purposes on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of
the Fair Market Value of the exercised Shares, at the time the option is
exercised, over the purchase price for

the exercised Shares. Absent such an Election, alternative minimum taxable
income will be measured and recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on
which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses. Purchaser is strongly encouraged
to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the
purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the Election under
Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached
hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference.

PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND
NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE,
EVEN IF PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING
ON PURCHASER'S BEHALF.

9. Representations. Purchaser has reviewed with his own tax advisors the
federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is relying solely on such
advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of
its agents. Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company) shall be
responsible for his own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal
substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Arizona.

Purchaser represents that he has read this Agreement and is familiar with
its terms and provisions. Purchaser hereby agrees to accept as binding,
conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any
questions arising under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is deemed made as of the date first set
forth above.
