THORIUM

AMENDED
AND RESTATED 2006 STOCK PLAN
STOCK
OPTION AGREEMENT
This
STOCK
OPTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”),
dated as of the 1st day of January, 2007 is made by and between THORIUM POWER,
LTD., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), and SEC AUDIT PREP INC. (the
“Optionee”), which term as used herein shall be deemed to include any successor
to the Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless
the
context shall otherwise require).
BACKGROUND
Pursuant
to the Corporation’s Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), the
Corporation, acting through the Committee of the Board of Directors (if a
committee has been formed to administer the Plan) or its entire Board of
Directors (if no such committee has been formed) responsible for administering
the Plan (in either case, referred to herein as the “Committee”), approved the
issuance to the Optionee, effective as of the date set forth above, of a stock
option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation at the price (the
“Option Price”) set forth in the attached Notice of Grant (which is expressly
incorporated herein and made a part hereof, the “Notice of Grant”), upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW,
THEREFORE,
in
consideration of the mutual premises and undertakings hereinafter set forth,
the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Option;
Option Price. On behalf of the Corporation, the Committee hereby
grants to the Optionee the option (the “Option”) to purchase, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated
by
reference herein and which in all cases shall control in the event of any
conflict with the terms, definitions and provisions of this Agreement), that
number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation set forth in the Notice
of
Grant, at an exercise price per share equal to the Option Price as is set forth
in the Notice of Grant (the “Optioned Shares”). If designated in the Notice of
Grant as an “incentive stock option,” the Option is intended to qualify for
Federal income tax purposes as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the date hereof
has
been supplied to the Optionee, and the Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt
thereof.
2. Term.
The term (the “Option Term”) of the Option shall commence on the date of this
Agreement and shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice of
Grant unless such Option shall theretofore have been terminated in accordance
with the terms of the Notice of Grant, this Agreement or of the
Plan.
3. Time
of Exercise.
(a) Unless
accelerated in the discretion of the Committee or as otherwise provided herein,
the Option shall become exercisable during its term in accordance with the
Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant. Subject to the provisions
of
Sections 5 and 8 hereof, shares as to which the Option becomes exercisable
pursuant to the foregoing provisions may be purchased at any time thereafter
prior to the expiration or termination of the Option.
(b) Anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent
the
Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, the Option shall not be
exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option, and shall be treated as a
Non-Statutory Option, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value on
the
date hereof of all stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under
the Plan and all other plans of the Corporation, its parent and its
subsidiaries, if any) exceeds $100,000.
4. Termination
of Option.
(a)
The Optionee may exercise the Option (but only to the extent the Option was
exercisable at the time of termination of the Optionee’s business relationship
with the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries) at any time within
three (3) months following the termination of the Optionee’s business
relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries, but
not later than the scheduled expiration date. If the termination of the
Optionee’s business relationship is for cause or is otherwise attributable to a
breach by the Optionee of an employment, non-competition, non-disclosure or
other material agreement, the Option shall expire immediately upon such
termination. If the Optionee is a natural person who dies while in a business
relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries, this
option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect
to
which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date of his death, by his
estate, personal representative or beneficiary to whom this option has been
assigned pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, at any time within the twelve (12)
month period following the date of death. If the Optionee is a natural person
whose business relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of its
subsidiaries is terminated by reason of his disability, this Option may be
exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the
Optionee could have exercised it on the date the business relationship was
terminated, at any time within the twelve (12) month period following the date
of such termination, but not later than the scheduled expiration date. At the
expiration of such three (3) or twelve (12) month period or the scheduled
expiration date, whichever is the earlier, this Option shall terminate and
the
only rights hereunder shall be those as to which the Option was properly
exercised before such termination.
(b) Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Option shall not be
affected by any change of duties or position of the Optionee (including a
transfer to or from the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries)
so
long as the Optionee continues in a Business Relationship with the Corporation,
its parent or any of its subsidiaries.
5. Procedure
for Exercise.
(a) The
Option may be exercised, from time to time, in whole or in part (but for the
purchase of whole shares only), by delivery of a written notice in the form
attached as Exhibit A hereto (the
“Notice”) from the Optionee to the Secretary
of the Corporation, which Notice
shall:
(i) state
that the Optionee elects to exercise the Option;
(ii) state
the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised (the
“Optioned Shares”);
(iii) state
the method of payment for the Optioned Shares pursuant to Section
5(b);
(iv) state
the date upon which the Optionee desires to consummate the purchase of the
Optioned Shares (which date must be prior to the termination of such Option
and
no later than 30 days from the delivery of such Notice);
(v) include
any representations of the Optionee required under Section
8(b);
(vi) if
the Option shall be exercised in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan by any
person other than the Optionee, include evidence to the satisfaction of the
Committee of the right of such person to exercise the Option;
and
(b) Payment
of the Option Price for the Optioned Shares shall be made either (i) by delivery
of cash or a check to the order of the Corporation in an amount equal to the
Option Price, (ii) if approved by the Committee, by delivery to the Corporation
of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation having a Fair Market Value on
the
date of exercise equal in amount to the Option Price of the options being
exercised, (iii) by any other means which the Board of Directors determines
are
consistent with the purpose of the Plan and with applicable laws and regulations
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Rule 16b-3 and Regulation
T
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board), or (iv) by any combination of such
methods of payment. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary,
if
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock of the Corporation is greater
than the Option Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu
of paying the Option Price in cash, the Optionee may elect to receive shares
equal to the value (as determined below) of the Optioned Shares by delivering
notice of such election to the Corporation in which event the Corporation shall
issue to the Optionee a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
X
= Y(A-B)
A
|
|
Where |
X |
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Optionee
|
|
|
|
Y
|
=
|
the
number of Optioned Shares
|
|
|
|
A
|
=
|
the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation)
|
|
|
|
B |
= |
Option Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation) |
(c) The
Corporation shall issue a stock certificate in the name of the Optionee (or
such
other person exercising the Option in accordance with the provisions of Section
9 of the Plan) for the Optioned Shares as soon as practicable after receipt
of
the Notice and payment of the aggregate Option Price for such
shares.
6. No
Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall not have any privileges
of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to any Optioned Shares until
the date of issuance of a stock certificate pursuant to Section
5(c).
7. Adjustments.
The Plan contains provisions covering the treatment of options in a number
of
contingencies such as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for
adjustment with respect to stock subject to options and the related provisions
with respect to successors to the business of the Corporation are hereby made
applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference. In general,
the
Optionee should not assume that options would survive the acquisition of the
Corporation.
8. Additional
Provisions Related to Exercise.
(a) The
Option shall be exercisable only on such date or dates and during such period
and for such number of shares of Common Stock as are set forth in this
Agreement.
(b) To
exercise the Option, the Optionee shall follow the procedures set forth in
Section 5 hereof. Upon the exercise of the Option at a time when there is not
in
effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Option, the Committee in its discretion may, as a condition
to
the exercise of the Option, require the Optionee (i) to execute an Investment
Representation Statement substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit
B
hereto and (ii) to make such other representations and warranties as are deemed
appropriate by counsel to the Corporation.
(c) Stock
certificates representing shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise
of
Options that have not been registered under the Securities Act shall, if
required by the Committee, bear an appropriate restrictive legend referring
to
the Securities Act. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered
upon
the exercise of the Option unless and until the Corporation and/or the Optionee
shall have complied with all applicable Federal or state registration, listing
and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements of law or of any
regulatory agencies having jurisdiction.
9. No
Evidence of Employment or Service. Nothing contained in the Plan or
this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in
employment with the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries or
interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation, its parent or its
subsidiaries (subject to the terms of any separate agreement to the contrary)
to
terminate the Optionee’s business relationship or to increase or decrease the
Optionee’s compensation at any time.
10. Restriction
on Transfer. The Option may not be transferred, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Optionee, except by
will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the
lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. If the Optionee dies, the Option
shall thereafter be exercisable, during the period specified in Section 4,
by
his executors or administrators to the full extent to which the Option was
exercisable by the Optionee at the time of his death. The Option shall not
be
subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary
to
the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar
process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect. The words
“transfer” and “dispose” include without limitation the making of any sale,
exchange, assignment, gift, security interest, pledge or other encumbrance,
or
any contract therefor, any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with
respect to the transfer of any interest, beneficial or otherwise, in the Option,
the creation of any other claim thereto or any other transfer or disposition
whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, affecting the right, title,
interest or possession with respect to the Option.
11. Specific
Performance. Optionee expressly agrees that the Corporation will be
irreparably damaged if the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan are not
specifically enforced. Upon a breach or threatened breach of the terms,
covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement or the Plan by the Optionee,
the
Corporation shall, in addition to all other remedies, be entitled to a temporary
or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage, and/or decree for
specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof.
The
Board of Directors shall have the power to determine what constitutes a breach
or threatened breach of this Agreement or the Plan. Any such determinations
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the
Optionee.
12. Disqualifying
Dispositions.
To the extent the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and if
the
Optioned Shares are disposed of within two years following the date of this
Agreement or one year following the issuance thereof to the Optionee (a
“Disqualifying Disposition”), the Optionee shall, immediately prior to such
Disqualifying Disposition, notify the Corporation in writing of the date and
terms of such Disqualifying Disposition and provide such other information
regarding the Disqualifying Disposition as the Corporation may reasonably
require.
13. Notices.
All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and sufficient if (i)
personally delivered or sent by telecopy, (ii)
sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or
(iii) sent by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:
if
to the
Optionee, to the address (or telecopy number) set forth on the Notice of Grant;

executive office as specified in any report filed by the Corporation with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or to such address as the Corporation may
have specified to the Optionee in writing, Attention: Corporate
Secretary;
or
to
such other address as the party to whom notice is to be given may have furnished
to the other party in writing in accordance herewith. Any such communication
shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered, if personally delivered,
or when telecopied, if telecopied, (ii) on the first Business Day (as
hereinafter defined) after dispatch, if sent by nationally-recognized overnight
courier and (iii) on the third Business Day following the date on which the
piece of mail containing such communication is posted, if sent by mail. As
used
herein, “Business Day” means a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a day on
which banking institutions in the city to which the notice or communication
is
to be sent are not required to be open.
14. No
Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall
be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether
of like or different nature.
15. Optionee
Undertaking.
The Optionee hereby agrees to take whatever additional actions and execute
whatever additional documents the Corporation may in its reasonable judgment
deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of
the
obligations or restrictions imposed on the Optionee pursuant to the express
provisions of this Agreement.
16. Modification
of Rights. The rights of the Optionee are subject to modification
and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the
Plan.
17. Governing
Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws
of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed
therein, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws
principles.
18. Counterparts;
Facsimile Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and
the same instrument. Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is
legal, valid and binding execution and delivery for all
purposes.
19. Entire
Agreement.
This Agreement (including the Notice of Grant) and the Plan, and, upon
execution, the Notice and Investment Representation Statement, constitute the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and supersede all previously written or oral negotiations, commitments,
representations and agreements with respect thereto.
20. Severability.
In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any
reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions
of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
21. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. THE OPTIONEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

In
connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned
Optionee represents to the Corporation the following:
(a) The
Optionee is aware of the Corporation’s business affairs and financial condition
and has acquired sufficient information about the Corporation to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Optionee
is
acquiring these Securities for investment for the Optionee’s own account only
and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a “distribution”
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”).
(b) The
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 the Optionee’s
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Optionee
understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the 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. The 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. The Optionee further
acknowledges and understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to
register the Securities. The 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 Corporation and
other
legends required under the applicable state or federal securities
laws.
