Representations
and Warranties.
|
|
|
(a)
|
Corporate
and Other Action. The Company has all requisite power
and authority (corporate and other), and has taken all necessary corporate
action, to authorize, execute, deliver and perform this Stock Option
Agreement (the “Option
Agreement”), to execute, issue, sell and deliver the Option and a
certificate or certificates evidencing the Option, to authorize and
reserve for issue and, upon payment from time to time of the Purchase
Price, to issue, sell and deliver, the shares of the Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Option (“Shares”),
and to perform all of its obligations under this Option Agreement and the
Option. The Shares, when issued in accordance with this Option
Agreement, will be duly authorized and validly issued and outstanding,
fully paid and nonassessable and free of all liens, claims, encumbrances
and preemptive rights. This Option Agreement and, when issued, each Option
issued pursuant hereto, has been or will be duly executed and delivered by
the Company and is or will be a legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. No
authorization, approval, consent or other order of any governmental
entity, regulatory authority or other third party is required for such
authorization, execution, delivery, performance, issue or
sale.
|
|
|
(b)
|
No
Violation. The execution and delivery of this Option
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and
the compliance with the terms and provisions of this Option Agreement and
of the Option will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, or
constitute a default or an event permitting acceleration under, any
statute, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, bank loan, credit agreement,
franchise, license, lease, permit, or any other agreement, understanding,
instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation to which
the Company is a party or by which it is
bound.

Transfer.
|
|
|
(a)
|
Transferability
of Option. The Option Holder agrees that this Option is
not transferable by Holder except to Option Holder’s spouse, children or
successors in interest pursuant to Option Holders last Will and
Testament.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Registration
of Shares. The Option Holder agrees not to make any sale
or other disposition of the Shares except pursuant to a registration
statement which has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”),
setting forth the terms of such offering, the underwriting discount and
commissions and any other pertinent data with respect thereto, unless the
Option Holder has provided the Company with an acceptable opinion of
counsel acceptable to the Company that such registration is not
required. Certificates representing the Shares, which are not
registered as provided in this Section 2, shall bear an appropriate legend
and be subject to a “stop-transfer”
order.

3.
|
Vesting
of Option, Exercise of Option, Partial Exercise, Notice.
|
|
|
(a)
|
Vesting
Period. This Option shall vest to Holder immediately
upon the execution of this Option by the
Company.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Exercise
Period. This Option shall expire and all rights
hereunder shall be extinguished
|
|
|
(c)
|
Exercise
in Full. Subject to Section 3(a) and 3(b), the Option
may be exercised in full by the Option Holder by surrender of the Option,
with the Form of Subscription attached hereto as Schedule 2 executed by
such Option Holder, to the Company, accompanied by payment as determined
by 3(e) below, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Shares
represented by the respective Option by the Purchase Price per share
(after giving effect to any adjustments as provided in Section 5
below).
|
|
|
(d)
|
Partial
Exercise. Subject to Section 3(a) and 3(b), each Option
may be exercised in part by the Option Holder by surrender of the Option,
with the Form of Subscription attached hereto as Schedule 2 at the end
thereof duly executed by such Option Holder, in the manner and at the
place provided in Section 3(c) above, accompanied by payment as determined
by 3(e) below, in amount obtained by multiplying the number of Shares
designated by the Option Holder in the Form of Subscription attached
hereto as Schedule 2 to the Option by the Purchase Price per share (after
giving effect to any adjustments as provided in Section 5
below). Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its
expense will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the
Option Holder a new Option of like tenor, in the name of the Option
Holder, calling in the aggregate for the purchase of the number of Shares
equal to the number of such Shares called for on the face of the
respective Option (after giving effect to any adjustment herein as
provided in Section 5 below) minus the number of such Shares designated by
the Option Holder in the aforementioned form of
subscription.
|
|
|
(e)
|
Payment
of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be made by any
of the following or a combination thereof, at the election of the Option
Holder:
|
|
|
(i) In
cash, by wire transfer, by certified or cashier’s check, or by money
order; or
|
|
|
(ii) Assuming
at least six months has past from the vesting date of the Options, by
delivery to the Company of an exercise notice that requests the Company to
issue to the Option Holder the
full number of shares as to which the Option is then
exercisable, less the number of shares that have
an aggregate Fair Market Value, as determined by the Board in
its sole discretion at the time of exercise, equal to the
aggregate purchase price of the shares to which such exercise relates, in
the event that the Fair Market Value is greater than the Exercise
Price. (This method of exercise allows the Option Holder to use
a portion of the shares issuable at the time of exercise as payment
for the shares to which the Option relates and is often referred to as a
"cashless
exercise." For example, if the Option Holder elects to exercise
1,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.25 and the current Fair
Market Value of the shares on the date of exercise is $1.00,
the Option Holder can use 250 of the 1,000 shares at $1.00 per share
to pay for the exercise of the entire Option (250 x $1.00 =
$250.00) and receive only the remaining 750
shares).

Delivery
of Stock Certificates on
Exercise.
|
|
|
5.
|
Adjustment
of Purchase Price and Number of Shares
Purchasable.
|
|
|
(a)
|
In
case the Company shall at any time after the date of this Option Agreement
(i) declare a dividend on the Common Stock in shares of its capital stock,
(ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding
Common Stock into a smaller number of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any
shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the Common Stock
(including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each
case the Purchase Price, and the number and kind of Shares receivable upon
exercise, in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of
the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or reclassification
shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Option
exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate
number and kind of Shares which, if such Option had been exercised
immediately prior to such record date, he would have owned upon such
exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend,
subdivision, combination, or reclassification. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur.
|
|
|
(b)
|
No
adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required if such adjustment is
less than US $.01; provided, however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (b) are not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made
to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the
case may be.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Upon
each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made
in subsection (a) of this Section 5, the Option outstanding prior to the
making of the adjustment in the Purchase Price shall thereafter evidence
the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of
Shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by (i) multiplying
the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option immediately
prior to adjustment of the number of Shares by the Purchase Price in
effect prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price and (ii) dividing the
product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment of the Purchase Price.

Further
Covenants of the Company.
|
|
|
(a)
|
Dilution
or Impairments. The Company will not, by amendment of
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger or dissolution, avoid or seek to avoid
the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Option or of this
Option Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Option
Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the
Company:
|
|
|
(i)
|
shall
at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery
upon the exercise of the Option, all shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable upon the exercise of the Option and
shall take all necessary actions to ensure that the par value per share,
if any, of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) is at all times equal to
or less than the then effective Purchase Price per share;
and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
will
take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock or Other Securities upon the exercise of the Option from
time to time outstanding.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Title
to Stock. All Shares delivered upon the exercise of the
Option shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; each Option
Holder shall, upon such delivery, receive good and marketable title to the
Shares, free and clear of all voting and other trust arrangements, liens,
encumbrances, equities and claims whatsoever; and the Company shall have
paid all taxes, if any, in respect of the issuance
thereof.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Replacement
of Option. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of any Option and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction,
upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of such Option, the Company, at the expense of
the Option Holder, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Option
of like tenor.
|
|
|
(d)
|
Fractional
Shares. No fractional Shares are to be issued upon the
exercise of any Option, but the Company shall round any fraction of a
share to the nearest whole Share.
