Exercising the Option The Optionee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option (an “NSO”). The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
Call Option The Company shall have the option to "call" the Warrants (the "Warrant Call"), in accordance with and governed by the following:
Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc (1) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of the Outstanding Securities, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company on or before the 15th day after such occurrence, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice (the "Company Notice") of the occurrence of the Change of Control and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice of a repurchase right to the Trustee. Each notice of a repurchase right shall state:
Exercise of Repurchase Right Any Repurchase Right under Paragraphs 15(a) or 15(b) shall be exercised by giving notice of exercise as provided herein to Optionee or the estate of Optionee, as applicable. Such right shall be exercised, and the repurchase price thereunder shall be paid, by the Company within a ninety (90) day period beginning on the date of notice to the Company of the occurrence of such Repurchase Event (except in the case of termination or cessation of services as director, where such option period shall begin upon the occurrence of the Repurchase Event). Such repurchase price shall be payable only in the form of cash (including a check drafted on immediately available funds) or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness of the Optionee for the Shares. If the Company can not purchase all such Shares because it is unable to meet the financial tests set forth in the Nevada corporation law, the Company shall have the right to purchase as many Shares as it is permitted to purchase under such sections. Any Shares not purchased by the Company hereunder shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this Section 15.
Repurchase Right After (i) Termination of the Optionee by the Company with Cause or resignation by the Optionee without Good Reason, or (ii) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Optionee’s Termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Optionee with Good Reason, regardless of whether such Termination or resignation is by virtue of the Optionee’s death, or otherwise, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all or any number of the then Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding and owned or held by the Optionee, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. The Company may exercise such repurchase right by delivering to the Optionee, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such Termination or resignation, a notice (the “Notice”) of the Company’s intention to exercise its repurchase right under this Section 7, specifying the number of such Unvested Shares that the Company desires to repurchase, whereupon, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, the Company shall become legally obligated to repurchase from the Optionee, and the Optionee shall become legally obligated to sell to the Company, at the Closing (as such term is defined below), the number of Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, and the Company shall not be required after delivery of the Notice to treat the Optionee as owner of the Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, to accord the right to vote to the Optionee with respect thereto or to pay dividends thereon. The purchase price per share for all of the Unvested Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be the purchase price originally paid by the Optionee to the Company for each of such Unvested Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section II hereof), payable, at the election of the Company, in cash or through the cancellation of indebtedness. The closing (the “Closing”) of the repurchase by the Company of all or any number of Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 shall take place at the offices of the Company at such time and on such date as the Company shall specify in the Notice, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such Termination or resignation. At the Closing, the Optionee shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, against payment by the Company of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. In the event that the Company has a right to repurchase any Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 and elects not to, or fails to, repurchase all or a portion of such Unvested Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, all of such Unvested Shares not so repurchased shall, thereafter, be treated as Vested Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.
Termination Right The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to any Closing Date, (i) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in its opinion will in the immediate future materially disrupt, general securities markets in the United States; or (ii) if trading on any Trading Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required by FINRA or by order of the Commission or any other government authority having jurisdiction, or (iii) if the United States shall have become involved in a new war or an increase in major hostilities, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by a New York State or federal authority, or (v) if a moratorium on foreign exchange trading has been declared which materially adversely impacts the United States securities markets, or (vi) if the Company shall have sustained a material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, will, in the Representative’s opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Securities, or (vii) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder, or (viii) if the Representative shall have become aware after the date hereof of such a material adverse change in the conditions or prospects of the Company, or such adverse material change in general market conditions as in the Representative’s judgment would make it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale and/or delivery of the Securities or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriters for the sale of the Securities.

Put Right At any time after November 15, 2009 and prior to November 15, 2013, any Partner who has held Units for at least three years (the “Put Partner”) shall have the right to request that the Partnership redeem all of such Units. Such request shall be made in writing, state a requested date for the redemption (the “Requested Redemption Date”) and be delivered to the General Partner at least 60 calendar days in advance of the Requested Redemption Date. The General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership has sufficient funds to grant the request, which determination shall be made prior to the Requested Redemption Date in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are available, the request shall be granted, and the Partnership shall transfer and deliver to the Put Partner no sooner than the Requested Redemption Date, but no later than 60 calendar days thereafter, 92% of the Unreturned Invested Capital of the Put Partner with respect to the redeemed Units determined as of the Requested Redemption Date; provided that the sum of the percentage interests in Partnership capital or profits transferred during the taxable year of the Partnership does not exceed 9% of the total interests in partnership capital or profits as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time during any 12-month period may the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period unless such redemption is otherwise deemed to be a disregarded transfer for purposes of determining whether the Partnership is a publicly traded partnership pursuant to Regulations Section 1.7704-1 as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are not available, or if the requested redemption would cause the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership to exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period, the Partnership shall either (i) decline to perform the requested redemption or (ii) perform the requested redemption solely to the extent such redemption does not violate the provisions of Section 9.3 or this Section 9.4, to be decided in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Each Put Partner covenants and agrees with the Partnership and the General Partner that all Units delivered in connection with the exercise of the put right under this Section 9.4 shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, respectively, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall be under any obligation to acquire any Put Partner’s Units, (1) to the extent that any such Units are subject to any liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or (2) in the event that any such Put Partner shall fail to give the General Partner adequate assurances that such Units are not subject to any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or shall fail to agree to fully indemnify the General Partner from any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind as well as any costs and expenses relating to the Put Partner’s Units or the exercise of the put right. Each Put Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Units to the Partnership or General Partner, respectively, each such Put Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.
