following recitals of facts:
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant the Optionee a stock option
("Option") to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") upon
the terms and conditions hereinafter stated; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein set forth, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Shares; Price. The Company hereby grants to Optionee the right to
---------------
purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, 1 million
Shares for cash at the closing price of the Shares as of the date of this
Agreement, such price being not less than the fair market value per share of the
Shares covered by these Options as of the date hereof.
2. Term of Option. This Option shall expire, and all rights hereunder
---------------
to purchase the Shares shall terminate five years from the date hereof.
3. Exercise. This Option shall be exercised by delivery to the Company
--------
of: (a) a written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares being
purchased (in whole shares only) and such other information set forth on the
form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Appendix A; (b) a check or cash in
----------
the amount of the purchase price of the Shares covered by the notice. This
Option shall be exercisable in its entirety upon $2 million being converted to
equity in the Company the contemplated bond offering. All amounts less than
that shall be exercisable on a pro-rata basis (i.e., if $1 from the $5 million
offering is converted into equity in E-net from the bond offering, then 20% of
the subject options shall be exercisable, regardless of whether the subject
listing occurs).
4. Termination of Independent Contractor Status. If Optionee shall
-------------------------------------------------
cease to serve as an independent contractor whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, other than by the conclusion of the term of Optionee's written

vested Options and all non vested options shall terminate and be of no further
force or effect.
5. Recapitalization. The number of Shares covered by this Option, shall

issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the
payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of
such shares affected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided
however that the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
not be deemed having been "effected without receipt of consideration by the
Company. The exercise price of this Option shall not be adjusted upon such a
subdivision or consolidation of the shares. The number of such Shares shall be
increased/decreased on a pro rata basis in accordance with any stock split,
provided, however, in the event of a reverse stock split, the amount of options
shall not be reduced below 60% of the amount issued under this option and under
no circumstances shall the exercise price of this option be adjusted. Provided,
however at no time shall the aggregate shares exercisable under this Option
equal greater than 5% of the total shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis
(such calculation to be performed at the time of the initial exercise).
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 of the Company, all options
granted herein shall immediately vest and be exercisable. Subject to any
required action by the stockholders of the Company, if the Company shall be the
surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, this Option thereafter shall
pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of Shares equal to the
Shares subject to this Option would have been entitled by reason of such merger
or consolidation, and the vesting provisions of Section 3 shall continue to
apply.
6. Registration Rights. The Optionee shall have the right to register
--------------------
Shares covered by vested options on Form S-8 pursuant to Optionee's Consulting
