John, thanks for your answer. I should have mentioned that my questions are from the stand point of me being the one who is acquiring the option. Also, what about the length of time issue? Thanks for your help!

Does it matter how much $ is given as option consideration depending on whether it is an exclusive option to purchase as opposed to a non-exclusive? Also, does the length of time for before the option expires affect the amount of $ needed for option consideration?

From a tax standpoint, no. From a “fairness” standpoint as determined by a judge in a lawsuit, sure. If you take “too much” for a non-exclusive option, the agreement could be viewed as too unfair and nullified. Use common sense.
