PACIFIC FUEL CELL CORP.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Type of Option (check one):       o Incentive       oNonqualified

This Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of                , by and between Pacific Fuel Cell Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and                      (the “Optionee”) pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

1 Grant of Option.

The Company hereby grants to Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any portion of a total of                 (       ) shares (the “Shares”) of the Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price of                 ($       ) per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the provisions of the Plan. If the box marked “Incentive” above is checked, then this Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If this Option fails in whole or in part to qualify as an incentive stock option, or if the box marked “Nonqualified” is checked, then this Option shall to that extent constitute a nonqualified stock option.

2 Vesting of Option.

2.1 Vesting Schedule.

The right to exercise this Option shall vest in installments, and this Option shall be exercisable from time to time in whole or in part as to any vested installment. Vesting will be measured from the date of this Agreement (the “Vesting Measurement Date”). No additional Shares shall vest after the date of termination of Optionee’s “Continuous Service” (the “Service Termination Date”). As used herein, the term “Continuous Service” has the meaning given in the Plan. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, the vesting schedule is as follows:

On or After:		Option Exercisable As To:
First anniversary of Vesting Measurement Date:		50 % of the Shares
Last day of each calendar month after such first anniversary		4.17 % of the Shares

The vesting schedule of this Option would result, assuming the Service Termination Date shall not have theretofore occurred, in this Option being exercisable as to One Hundred Percent (100%) of the Shares covered by this Option at the end of the calendar month in which the second anniversary of the Vesting Measurement Date falls.

2.2 Change in Control.

In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the Administrator in its discretion may take one or more of the following actions with respect to this Option (whether or not then exercisable or vested):

(i) provide for the purchase or exchange of this Option for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference, or spread, between

	(x)		the value of the cash or other property that the Optionee would have received pursuant to such Change in Control transaction in exchange for any shares issuable upon exercise of this Option, in the amount that the Optionee would have received had the then exercisable portion, if any, of this Option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control transaction, and
	(y)		the Exercise Price,

(ii) adjust the terms of this Option in a manner determined by the Administrator to reflect the Change in Control,

	(iii)		cause this Option to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity, through the continuance of the Plan and the assumption of this Option, or the substitution for this Option of a new option of comparable value covering shares of a successor or parent corporation, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and Exercise Price, in which event the Plan and this Option, or the new option substituted therefor, shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided,
	(iv)		cancel this Option if this Option is deemed to have no net value on the basis described in paragraph 2.2(i) above or if the Option is not then exercisable by virtue of this Agreement, as then in effect, or
	(v)		make such other provision as the Administrator may consider equitable.

If the Administrator does not take any of the forgoing actions, this Option shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control and the Administrator shall cause written notice of the proposed transaction to be given to the Optionee not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.

3.2 Involuntary Termination without Cause.

the expiration of three (3) months from the Service Termination Date if such termination occurs for any reason other than permanent disability, death, voluntary resignation; or for “cause;” provided, however, that if Optionee dies during such three-month period the provisions of subsection 3.5 below shall apply;

3.3 Voluntary Resignation.

the expiration of one (1) month from the Service Termination Date if such termination occurs due to voluntary resignation; provided, however, that if Optionee dies during such one-month period the provisions of subsection 3.5 below shall apply;

the expiration of one (1) year from the Service Termination Date if such termination is due to Optionee’s death or if death occurs during either the three-month or one-month period following the Service Termination Date pursuant to subsection 3.2 or subsection 3.3 above, as the case may be;

3.6 Change in Control.

upon the consummation of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan), unless otherwise provided by the Administrator pursuant to Section 2.2 above; and

3.8 Breach and Non-Competition.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any Options or Common Stock, or the exercise or purchase of any Options or Common Stock, at any time if the Optionee engages in any “Adverse Activity.” For purposes of this Section 3.8, “Adverse Activity” shall include: (i) the rendering of services for any organization or engaging directly or indirectly in any business which is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which organization or business, or the rendering of services to such organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company; (ii) the disclosure to anyone outside the Company, or the use in other than the Company’s business, without prior written authorization from the Company, of any confidential information or material relating to the business of the Company, acquired by Optionee either during or after employment with the Company; (iii) the failure or refusal to disclose promptly and to assign to the Company, all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by Optionee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company; (iv) activity that results in termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service for “cause” as defined in Section 3.7 of this Agreement; (v) any material violation of any terms or provisions of this Agreement; or (vi) any attempt directly or indirectly to induce any employee of the Company to be employed or perform services elsewhere or any attempt directly or indirectly to solicit the trade or business of any current or prospective customer, supplier or partner of the Company. In the event Optionee engages in Adverse Activity prior to, or during the six (6) months after, any exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to an Option Agreement, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded at the sole election of the Company within two years thereafter. In the event of any such rescission, the Optionee shall pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result of the disposition of Shares or Options, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required, and the Company shall be entitled to set-off against the amount of any such gain any amount owed to the Optionee by the Company.

	(c)		The Optionee realizes that the purchase of the Shares will be a highly speculative investment.
	(d)		The Optionee is able, without impairing the Optionee’s financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on the investment.
	(e)		The Optionee acknowledges that he is aware that the Shares to be issued to him by the Company pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under the Act, and—

	(i)		the Shares must be held indefinitely unless a transfer of them is subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available;

	(i)		The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has been furnished with a copy of the Plan, has read the Plan and this Agreement, and understands that all rights and obligations connected with this Agreement are set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.
	(j)		The Optionee is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States.

6.3 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capital Structure.

In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, stock dividend (in excess of two percent (2%)) or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the number of Shares subject to the unexercised portion of this Option and to the Exercise Price per share, in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits of the Optionee under this Option, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. No fractional share shall be issued under this Option or upon any such adjustment.

7 No Creation or Enlargement of Optionee’s Rights to Continue in any Capacity.

The right of the Company and any Affiliated Company (as defined in the Plan) to terminate at will the Optionee’s services to the Company or any Affiliated Company at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved. Nothing in this Agreement shall diminish or impair in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company or any Affiliated Company to terminate the Optionee’s Continuous Service for any reason, with or without cause.

8 Rights as Shareholder.

The Optionee (or transferee of this option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by this Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates to him or her for such Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of this Option.

9 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.

Optionee agrees that, if requested by the Company or the managing underwriter of any proposed public offering of the Company’s securities, Optionee will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares held by Optionee without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriter, as the case may be, during such period of time, not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company with respect to such offering, as the Company or the underwriter may specify.

In addition to all other legends that the Company or its legal counsel consider appropriate under applicable securities laws, the certificates representing any Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement shall bear substantially the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (INCLUDING ANY SECURITIES ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER RIGHT CONNECTED HEREWITH) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933; THEY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS MAY BE AUTHORIZED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. IN ADDITION ANY TRANSFEREE OR ISSUEE OF SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS PRIOR TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER OR ISSUANCE. ANY TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE ISSUER’S 2008 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR IS VOID AND OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT.

Optionee understands and agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

12 Interpretation.

This Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance therewith.

15 Severability.

16 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements and understandings of the parties, either express or implied.

The Board shall have full power and authority (subject to certain amendments requiring shareholder approval pursuant to applicable laws or regulations) from time to time to alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in any or all respects as the Board may deem advisable, and to alter this Agreement in ways which shall not substantially adversely affect or impair the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement No such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall be made which shall substantially affect or impair the rights of any Optionee under an outstanding Option Agreement without such Optionee’s consent. The Board may alter or amend the Plan to comply with requirements under the Code relating to Incentive Options or other types of options that give Optionees more favorable tax treatment than that applicable to Options granted under the Plan.
