The Optionee and Modavox are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Parties.”

Upon delivery of this Option with the subscription form annexed hereto, duly executed, together with payment of this Option Price for the shares of Common Stock thereby purchased, at the principal office of 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx, XX 00000, or at such other address as Modavox may designate by notice in writing to the Optionee hereof, the Optionee of this Option shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Option will, upon issuance, be fully-paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect thereto.

This Option is subject to the following terms and conditions:

Exercise of Option.

This Option may be exercised in whole at any time, or in any part from time to time, prior to 5:00 o'clock P.M., Eastern time, on or before February 28, 2014, but not thereafter, as to all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock then subject hereto to the extent such shares have vested. This Option is vested over five (5) years from the date hereof unless Modavox is acquired by another entity which will automatically vest all Options immediately.

In case of any partial exercise of this Option, Modavox shall execute and deliver a new Option of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Option may not be exercised as to less than one thousand (25,000) shares at any one time unless the number of shares purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under this Option. This Option may be exercised only as to whole shares; fractional share interests will be disregarded except that they may be accumulated.

Upon any exercise of this Option, Optionee may, in lieu of payment of the Option Price in cash, surrender this Option (or any successor hereto or fraction hereof) (valued for such purpose at the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock for which such Option is exercisable on the date of such exercise less the Option Price then in effect) and apply all or a portion of the amount so determined to the payment of the Option Price for the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased as to all the number of whole shares of Common Stock then subject hereto. The term "Fair Market Value" shall mean the means the fair market value of the Common Stock, as either determined by the Board in good faith on such basis as it deems appropriate or the average of the Closing Sales Price of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, Amex, Nasdaq or NYSE for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of notice or exercise which relates to said determination of Fair Market Value.

Adjustment of Option Price and Number of Shares Purchasable Hereunder. In case Modavox shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, this Option Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and in case Modavox shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, this Option Price in effect shall immediately prior to such combination be proportionately increased, effective from and after the record date of such subdivision or combination, as the case may be.

Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment of this Option Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Option, then and in each such case, Modavox, within thirty (30) days thereafter, shall give written notice thereof to the Optionee of this Option at the address of such Optionee as shown on the books of Modavox, which notice shall state this Option Price as adjusted and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Option, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Optionee of this Option shall have ten (10) days in which to review the proposed adjustment and to object to the proposed adjustment by notifying Modavox in writing of such objection, setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such objection. If the Optionee fails to object to the proposed adjustment during such ten (10) day period the proposed adjustment shall become final. If the Optionee objects to the proposed adjustment then Modavox and the Optionee shall attempt to reconcile their differences and if unable to do so such adjustment shall be determined by Modavox's independent accountants whose determination shall be final.

Notice of Exercise of Option. This Option may be exercised by this Optionee by a written notice signed by this Optionee, and delivered or mailed to Modavox to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer. The notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock which this Optionee elects to purchase hereunder, and be accompanied by (i) a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Company in payment of the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares as provided herein, (ii) surrender this Option (or any successor hereto or fraction hereof) (valued for such purpose at the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock for which such Option is exercisable on the date of such exercise less the Option Price then in effect) and apply all or a portion of the amount so determined to the payment of the Option Price for the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased, (iii) shares of Stock owned by Optionee and duly endorsed or accompanied by stock transfer powers having a Fair Market Value equal to the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder, (iv) a certified or cashier’s check accompanied by the Option (valued for such purpose at the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock for which such Option is exercisable on the date of such exercise less the Option Price then in effect) whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of the check equals the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder; or (v) a certified or cashier’s check accompanied by a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Stock whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of the check equals the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, the Company agrees to issue to the Optionee stock certificates for the number of shares specified in such notice registered in the name of the Optionee.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of this Option shall be made without charge to the Optionee hereof for any tax or other expense in respect to the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by Modavox, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such name or names as may be directed by, the Optionee of this Option; provided, however, that in the event that certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Optionee of this Option, this Option when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by an instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Modavox, duly executed by the Optionee hereof in person or by an attorney duly authorized in writing.

Certain Obligations of Modavox. Modavox will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act or deed, avoid or seek to avoid the performance or observance of any of the covenants, stipulations or conditions to be performed or observed by Modavox, but will at all times in good faith assist, insofar as it is able, in the carrying out of all provisions of this Option and in the taking of all other action which may be necessary in order to protect the rights of the Optionee of this Option against dilution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Modavox agrees that it will not establish or increase the par value of the shares of any Common Stock which are at the time issuable upon exercise of this Option above the then prevailing Option Price hereunder and that, before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing this Option Price hereunder below the then par value, if any, of the shares of any Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, Modavox will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that Modavox may validly and legally issue fully-paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at this Option Price as so adjusted.

Continuance of Engagement. Nothing contained in this Option shall confer upon this Optionee any right to continue in the engagement of Modavox or constitute any contract or agreement of engagement. Nothing contained in this Option shall interfere in any way with the right of Modavox to (i) terminate the engagement of this Optionee, or (ii) reduce the compensation received by this Optionee from time to time, provided that nothing herein shall modify any written engagement or consulting agreement as may now exist or hereinafter be entered into between Optionee and Modavox.

Effect of Termination of Relationship. If this Optionee ceases to be engaged by Modavox for any reason, this Option shall terminate to the extent not vested. Upon termination of Optionee's engagement by reason of retirement, disability or death, this Option, to the extent vested, may be exercised by this Optionee or his executor or administrator, as the case may be, at any time prior to January 1, 20June 1, 2015.

Change of Control. This Option shall accelerate to the extent not vested in the event of a Change of Control, provided Optionee remained employed by Modavox not less than six months prior to the Change of Control. For purposes hereof, "Change Of Control" means a change in control of Modavox of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not Modavox is subject to the Exchange Act at such time, including any of the following events:
