                 1. Grant. Pursuant to the Company's 2001 Equity Incentive Plan

aggregate of One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares (appropriately adjusted for
any subsequent stock splits, stock combinations or similar capital
restructuring) of the Company's Common Stock, no par value per share (the
"Option Shares"), at a purchase price per share of Fifty Cents ($.50) (the
"Option Price").

                 2. Term. This Option Agreement and Optionee's right to exercise
Options vested in accordance with Paragraph 3 shall terminate on the earlier of
(i) May 12, 2009, or (ii) upon termination of Optionee's employment or
Employment Agreement with the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Sparks Exhibits

Optionee's death or disability, Optionee (or Optionee's spouse or estate) may
exercise this Option Agreement for a period of six months following the date of
termination as to Options fully vested on or before the date of termination.

                 3. Vesting. The Options will vest 60,000 on May 13, 2004 and
20,000 on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of this Agreement,
provided Optionee continues to be employed by the Company on each of such dates.

                 4. Method of Exercise and Payment. Vested Options may be
exercised from time to time, in whole or in part. When exercisable under
Paragraph 3, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company
specifying the total number of Option Shares to be exercised. The notice shall
be accompanied by payment in cash or by check equal to the aggregate Option
Price of all Option Shares covered by such notice.

                 5. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be
addressed to the Company at its principal executive office, and any notice to be
given to the Optionee shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address then
appearing on the records of the Company or at such other address as either party
hereafter may designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed
to have been duly given when deposited in the United States mail, addressed as
aforesaid, registered or certified mail, and with proper postage and
registration or certification fees prepaid.

                 6. General. This Option shall not be assignable by Optionee.
Stock certificates representing the Option Shares acquired shall bear any
legends required by applicable state and federal securities laws. Company stock
issuances are unregistered, requiring a one year holding period.

construed in a manner consistent with, and to satisfy the requirements of, the
incentive stock option provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it
may be amended from time to time (the "Code") and of the Plan. This Option
Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Plan, Section 422A(b)
of the Code and qualify for special tax treatment under Section 421 et seq. of
the Code.
