STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this
29th day of November 2005, by and between Tricell, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), and Xxxx Xxxxxxx (“Optionee”).
Background
The Company desires to grant Optionee an option to purchase shares of common stock of the
Company in exchange for services rendered by the Optionee to the Company.
Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound, it is agreed as follows:
1. Non-Qualified Stock Option to Purchase Shares.
(a) Number of Option Shares. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee a
non-qualified stock option (the “Option”), to purchase two million (2,000,000) shares (the
“Option Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common
Stock”).
(b) Exercise Period. The Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part,
subject to the vesting schedule and other terms set forth in this Agreement, until November
29, 2010 (the “Exercise Period”).
(c) Vesting Schedule. The Option to purchase shares granted hereby shall vest
in two (2) equal allotments as follows:
(i) Fifty percent (50%) of the Option Shares shall be exercisable on November
29, 2006; and
(ii) Fifty percent (50%) of the Option Shares shall be exercisable on November
29, 2007;
Provided however that no option share shall vest unless Optionee remains employed by the
Company per the terms of the Employment Agreement dated November 29, 2005 (“Employment Agreement”).
6
(d) Exercise Price. Each of the Option Shares shall be exercisable upon the
Company’s receipt of certified funds equal to, for each Option Share so exercised, the
average closing trading price of the Company’s Common Stock for the thirty (30) business
days prior to the date on which the Option Shares vest, with such payment being made in
certified funds. If the Company’s Common Stock does not trade during the thirty (30)
business days prior to the date on which the Option Shares vest, then the exercise price
per share shall be the price at which the Common Stock last traded.
2. Manner of Exercise and Terms of Payment.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Option, the Optionee may exercise any vested
Options at any time during the Exercise Period; provided that the Option may be exercised
with respect to whole Option Shares only; and provided further that the Option may not be
exercised at any one time as to fewer than 100 Option Shares (or such number of Option
Shares as to which the portion of the Option is then exercisable if such number is less
than 100). In no event shall any portion of the Option be exercisable after the Exercise
Period.
(b) In accordance with Section 2(a) hereof, the Option may be exercised by delivering
to the Company a notice of intent to exercise. The Optionee shall deliver such notice by
such method (whether telephonic or written) as may be specified by the Company from time to
time. Such notice shall specify the number of Option Shares as to which the Option is being
exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full, or adequate provision therefore, of
the Option Price and any applicable withholding tax. The payment of the Option Price shall
be made (i) in cash, (ii) by certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the
Company, (iii) by tendering shares of the Company which have been owned by the Optionee for
at least six months (and which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest),
(iv) by having Option Shares with a fair market value on the date of exercise equal the
Option Price sold by a broker-dealer, or (v) by a combination of the foregoing, provided
that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and the fair market value of any
such shares so tendered to the Company as of the date of such tender or sold by a
broker-dealer is at least equal to the Option Price. In the event the broker-assisted
cashless exercise procedure is elected, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the
Company, the optionee shall pay such amount to the Company as the Company deems necessary
to satisfy its obligation to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes
incurred by reason of such exercise or make such other arrangements as are acceptable to
the Company, all in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
(c) In lieu of the payment methods set forth in this Section 2, the Optionee may elect
to exercise all or some of this Option pursuant to this Section 2(c). If Optionee elects
to exercise this Option as provided in this Section 2(c), Optionee shall tender at the
principal office of the Company or its stock transfer agent, if any, the Option for the
amount being exchanged, along with written
7
notice of Optionee’s election to exercise some or all of the Option, and the Company shall
issue and deliver to Optionee, within five (5) days following the Company=s receipt
of this Option and notice, stock certificates representing the number of shares of the
common stock computed using the following formula:
Where: | X | = | the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Optionee. | |||||
Y | = | the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the amount of the Option being exchanged (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). | ||||||
A | = | the Fair Market Value of one share of the Common Stock. | ||||||
B | = | Option Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
3. Withholding. The Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the
Company for satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding
requirements or like requirement, including the payment to the Company at the time of any exercise
of the Option of all taxes and requirements, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby
authorized to withhold from the Option Shares transferable to the Optionee upon any exercise of the
Option or from any other compensation of amount owing to the Optionee such amount (in cash, Option
Shares (having a fair market value not in excess of the minimum amount required by law to be
withheld) or other property, as the case may be) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company
to satisfy all such taxes, requirements and withholding obligations.
4. Rights as Stockholder. Optionee or a permitted transferee of the Option shall have
no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of common stock subject to
such Option prior to his or her exercise of the Option.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of
securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Option and the Option Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time, as provided in Schedule A attached hereto.

Option and the Option Shares for Optionee’s own account for the purpose of investment and
not with a view toward resale or other distribution thereof in violation of the Securities

Act, the Company has affixed a restrictive legend stating that the Option is not registered
under the 1933 Act and state securities laws and setting forth or referring to the
restriction on transferability and sale thereof imposed by the 1933 Act or any applicable
state securities law, and that the holder thereof agrees to be bound by such restrictive
legend.
(c) Optionee understands that, prior to such time as the Option Shares have been
registered under the 1933 Act, the Company shall place a legend on each certificate for the
Option Shares issued pursuant hereto, or any certificate issued in exchange therefore,
stating that such securities are not registered under the 1933 Act and state securities
laws and setting forth or referring to the restriction on transferability and sale thereof
imposed by the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities law, and that the holder thereof
agrees to be bound by such restrictive legend.
7. Exercisability. The Option shall be exercisable only by Optionee, subject to the
terms herein, during his lifetime or by his assigns, heirs, executors or administrators, as the
case may be. The Option granted hereunder and the Option Shares underlying the Option may only be
assigned in compliance with Section 8 herein and applicable securities laws.
8. Non-Transferability.
(a) Optionee shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge for a loan, margin,
hypothecate or exchange the Option or the Option Shares, except pursuant to the laws of
descent, for a period of one (1) year from the date of grant, or otherwise as required by
law.
(b) Optionee recognizes that the Option Shares received pursuant to this Agreement
will be subject to various restrictions on sale and/or transfer, including but not limited
to, the restrictions imposed by Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding any rights
that Optionee may possess under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws,
Optionee hereby agrees that he or she shall not be entitled, and the Company shall be under
no obligation, to remove the resale restriction from this Option. Optionee additionally
agrees that the Company is under no obligation to remove the resale restriction from any
Option Shares which exceed one percent (1%) of the Company’s then outstanding common stock
during the ninety (90) days preceding the intended sale.

2. Adjustment. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of
this Option and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of certain events as follows:
12
(a) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this
Option remains outstanding and unexpired, shall subdivide or combine its Capital Stock, the
Option Price shall be proportionately reduced, in case of subdivision of such shares, as of
the effective date of such subdivision, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders
of its Capital Stock for the purpose of so subdividing, as of such record date, whichever
is earlier, or shall be proportionately increased, in the case of combination of such
shares, as of the effective date of such combination, or, if the Company shall take a
record of holders of its Capital Stock for the purpose of so combining, as of such record
date, whichever is earlier.
(b) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Option is outstanding
and unexpired shall pay a dividend in shares of, or make other distribution of shares of,
its Capital Stock, then the Option Price shall be adjusted, as of the date the Company
shall take a record of the holders of its Capital Stock for the purpose of receiving such
dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the date of such
payment or other distribution), to that price determined by multiplying the Option Price in
effect immediately prior to such payment or other distribution by a fraction (a) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall
be the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend
or distribution. The provisions of this subsection 2(b) shall not apply under any of the
circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in subsection 2(a).
(c) Liquidating Dividends, Etc. If the Company at any time while this Option is
outstanding and unexpired makes a distribution of its assets to the holders of its Capital
Stock as a dividend in liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as a
dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends under
applicable law or any distribution to such holders made in respect of the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than under the circumstances provided for
in the foregoing subsections (a) through (b)), the holder of this Option shall be entitled
to receive upon the exercise hereof, in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable
upon such exercise, and without payment of any consideration other than the Option Price,
an amount in cash equal to the value of such distribution per share of Common Stock
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock which, on the record date for such
distribution, are issuable upon exercise of this Option (with no further adjustment being
made following any event which causes a subsequent adjustment in the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof), and an appropriate provision therefor
should be made a part of any such distribution. The value of a distribution which is paid
in other than cash shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
3. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any of the Option Price or the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable under the terms of this Option at that Option
13
Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall promptly make a certificate
signed by its Chief Financial Officer or a Vice Chief Financial Officer and by its Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth in reasonable detail the
event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Company’s Board of Directors made
any determination hereunder), and the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
at that Option Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of
such certificate to be mailed (by first class and postage prepaid ) to the registered holder of
