 1

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Optionee shall not be required to physically surrender this Option to the Company until the Optionee has purchased all of the Option Shares available hereunder and the Option has been exercised in full, in which case, the Optionee shall surrender this Option to the Company for cancellation within ten (10) Trading Days following Optionees’s receipt of the balance of the Option Shares so exercised.  Partial exercises of this Option resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Option Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Option Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Option Shares purchased.  The Optionee and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Option Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Optionee shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Optionee and any assignee, by acceptance of this Option, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of paragraph 2 or 3, following the purchase of a portion of the Option Shares hereunder, the number of Option Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

4.Adjustment of Option Shares

 

The number of Option Shares purchasable pursuant to this Option shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

 2 
 

 

 

A.Adjustment for Recapitalization. In the event the Company shall (a) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (b) issue or convert by a reclassification or recapitalization of its shares of Common Stock into, for, or with other securities (a “Recapitalization”), the number of Option Shares purchasable hereunder immediately following such Recapitalization shall be adjusted so that Optionee shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Option Shares or other securities of the Company measured as a percentage of the current issued and outstanding shares of Company’s Common Stock as of the date hereof, which it would have been entitled to receive had such Option been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto; provided however that, notwithstanding anything in this Option or the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the number of Option Shares shall not be reduced or affected in any way as a result of a reverse stock split either by a reduction of the number of Option Shares or an increase in the Option Price (the “Repricing”), unless such Repricing is mutually agreed upon in writing between Optionee and the Company prior to any adjustment.

 

B.Preservation of Purchase Rights Under Consolidation. Subject to paragraph 4A. above, in case of any Recapitalization or any other consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another third party (a “successor”) of the property of the Company, in its entirety or substantially in its entirety, the Company shall, prior to the Closing of such transaction, cause such successor or purchasing party, to acknowledge and assume in writing responsibility for the Company's obligations hereunder, and to grant Optionee the right thereafter upon payment of the Option Price to purchase the kind and the greater of (a) the number of Option Shares as stated here, or (b) an equivalent percentage of successor’s shares as the Option Shares now represent to the Company’s total shares issued and outstanding or other securities and property of the successor, which Optionee would have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

 

Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Option Shares purchasable hereunder is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to Optionee notice of such adjustment or adjustments, and shall deliver to Optionee setting forth the adjusted number of Option Shares purchasable and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, including the computation by which such adjustment was made.

 

5.Assignment

 

The rights represented by this Option may only be assigned or transferred by Optionee to an affiliate or retirement plan, or to a trust if affected as the result of estate planning. For the purpose of this Option, the term "affiliate" shall be defined as a family member or an enterprise that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control of Optionee; otherwise, this Option and the rights hereunder shall not be assigned. Any assignment or attempted levy against this Option or the Option Shares, or the proceeds therefrom, shall void this Option in its entirety.

 

6.Registration of Option Shares

 

As soon as practical following the date hereof as to the Option Shares, and as to an anticipated event giving rise to the obligation by the Company to issue to other optionees serving as employees or advisors to the Company, The Common Stock comprising such all shares reserved

 3 
 

 

for option exercise under issued Options shall be registered by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a Form S-8 or other applicable registration statement, and the Company shall cause such registration statement to remain effective at all times while all such optionees have the right to purchase Option Shares.

 

At Optionee 's election, all or any portion of the Option Shares may be issued prior to registration in reliance on exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 193, as amended (the "'Act"), Regulation D of the Act, and applicable state securities laws.
