Upon the occurrence of a Transaction, Options shall be exercised by Winner by giving written notice to the Company and/or to any third party designated by the Company (the "REPRESENTATIVE"), in such form and method as may be determined by the Company, which exercise shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Company and/or the Representative and the payment of the Exercise Price at the Company's or the Representative's principal office.

To the extent that TWG affords rights of adjustment with respect to any Shares in the case of a Transaction, the same shall apply with respect to the Option Shares. - 2 - 8.2. If the outstanding Shares of TWG shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend (bonus shares), stock split, combination or exchange of Shares, recapitalization, or any other like event by or of TWG, and as often as the same shall occur, then the number, class and kind of the Option Shares therefore granted and the Exercise Price, shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the proportionate number of Option Shares as reflects 15% of the TWG's shares held by Z4P, without changing the aggregate Exercise Price, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no adjustment shall be made by reason of the distribution of subscription rights (rights offering) on outstanding Shares or other similar dilution event. 8.3. In the event that TWG undertakes a corporate reorganization involving the transfer of its business activities to another entity in which the Company becomes a shareholder as a Successor to its interests in the TWG, Winner shall be entitled to 15% of the Company's share of such new entity. 8.4. In the event that TWG conducts a private placement in which the Company does not participate with the result that the Company's and hence Winner's interest in TWG will be diluted, Winner shall be entitled to participate in said private placement, subject to its terms and conditions, solely in order to avoid a dilution of its 75% interest in TWG. 9. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Winner shall not have any of the rights or privileges of shareholders of TWG in respect of any Option Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Options, until Winner's exercise of the Options and payment of the Exercise Price.
