between Real Paper Displays, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation” or

the following facts:
Pursuant
and subject to the Corporation’s 2007 Non-Qualified Company Stock Grant and
Option Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
A
and
incorporated herein by this reference (the “Plan”), the Corporation’s Board of
Directors, or authorized committee thereof, has determined that it is to the
advantage and interest of the Corporation and its stockholders to grant the
option provided for herein to Grantee. The parties agree as
follows:
1. GRANT
OF OPTION:
For
value received, the Corporation hereby grants to Grantee the right and option
to
purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, an aggregate of
____________ shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock. The exercise price shall
be $___________ per share.
2. TIME
AND MANNER OF EXERCISE:
From
and after __________________, and during each of the ________ (__) succeeding
one-year periods commencing on the anniversary thereof, Grantee shall have
the
right to purchase from Grantor ______ percent (__%) of the aggregate number
of
shares of Common Stock of Grantor subject to this Option, on a cumulative basis
(total ____________ shares). The purchase shall be made upon delivery to Grantor
of a notice of exercise accompanied by a certified or cashier’s check in payment
of the aggregate option price. Promptly upon receipt of such material, Grantor
will deliver to Grantee stock certificate(s) representing the number of shares
purchased in accordance with the foregoing and during Grantee’s lifetime, duly
registered in the name(s) of Grantee and, at Grantee’s election, his or her
spouse. The failure to exercise an option with respect to any shares of
Grantor’s Common Stock for which the right has accrued during any one-year
period shall not result in the termination of the option with respect to such
shares of Stock; rather the same shall cumulate and be eligible for exercise
during the remainder of the option term.
3. ANTIDILUTION
PROVISIONS:
The
number of shares that Grantee is entitled to purchase upon the exercise of
this
Option and the purchase price of those shares are subject only to the
adjustments set forth in Section 5.6 of the Plan.
4. INVESTMENT
UNDERTAKING; NONASSIGNABILITY:
This
Option may be exercised only by Grantee during his or her lifetime. Grantee
will
hold this Option and the rights arising hereunder for investment and not with
a
view to distribution, and upon exercise will deliver a letter confirming
Grantee’s nondistributive intent with respect to the shares of Common Stock
received. Grantee will not transfer or assign this Option, except by will or
the
laws of intestate succession.
5. EXPIRATION:
This
Option shall terminate and expire at midnight on the date that is __________
(__) years after the date of this Agreement, or four (4) months after the date
that Grantee ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance
with
Section 3 of the Plan, whichever is earlier. However, if Grantee dies while
still eligible to participate in the Plan, his or her executor(s) or
administrator(s), or any person or persons who acquired the Option from the
Grantee by bequest or inheritance, shall, during the 12-month period commencing
on the date of the Grantee’s death, have the right to exercise this Option with
respect to the shares that remain subject to this Option on that date, subject
to the conditions that this Option (i) shall in no event be exercisable after
its expiration in accordance with this Section 5 and (ii) it shall be
exercisable by such representative(s) or successor(s) only to the extent that
the Grantee’s right to exercise this Option had accrued pursuant to Paragraph 2
hereof at the time of the Grantee’s death and had not previously been exercised.
Any options not exercisable or not exercised prior to the end of such 12-month
period shall be automatically null and void.
