conditions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to purchase at the
Closing (as defined in Section 2.1) and the Company agrees to sell and
issue to the Investor at the Closing 1,500,000 shares of common stock of
the Company at a price per share of US$2.00 (the "Shares").
1.2 Option. As further consideration for the aggregate amount paid to the
Company pursuant to Section 1.1, the Company hereby grants to the Investor,
or its permitted assigns or transferees, an option to purchase from the
Company at any time prior to the date which is three months subsequent the
date on which the Company's shares are relisted and/or quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"), subject to prior termination in accordance with
Section 8.2, 1,500,000 Shares (such underlying shares, as increased or
decreased in accordance herewith, are hereinafter referred to collectively
as the "Option Stock"). Such option will be exercisable from time to
time, in whole or in part, for a price per Share set forth in the
immediately preceding Section 1.1 (as modified from time to time in
accordance herewith, the "Exercise Price"). Such option shall be assignable
by the Investor without restriction (except for applicable securities
laws). The Investor may exercise its option by the delivery of written
notice to the Company. The Company will issue the Shares that are the
subject of the option, and the Investor will pay the price therefor to the
Company in cash, on the third (3rd) business day following any exercise of
the option. Prior to an exercise of the option granted it pursuant to this
Section 1.2, the Investor shall not have any rights or obligations as a
shareholder hereunder with respect to the Option Stock (the rights as a
holder of the Shares acquired pursuant to Section 1.1 being unaffected).
1.3 Anti-Dilution. With respect to the option described in Section 1.2 and the
rights of the Investor in connection therewith:
(a) Subdivision and Combination.
(i) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine
the outstanding Shares, the Exercise Price shall forthwith
be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or
increased in the case of combination. Such (combination)
subdivision may consist of (reverse) stock splits, stock
dividends, reclassifications or any other comparable
transaction by which Shares or other capital stock are
(combined into a smaller number of shares or) issued to
holders of such Shares or other capital stock by virtue of
such share ownership.
(ii) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 1.3, the number of shares of
Option Stock issuable upon the exercise at the adjusted
exercise price of the Investor's option shall be adjusted to
the nearest whole number of shares by multiplying the number
of shares of Option Stock issuable upon exercise of such
option prior to the adjustment by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the
adjusted Exercise Price.
(iii) For the purpose of this Section 1.3, the term "Shares "
shall mean (i) the Shares as defined in the recitals hereto,
or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassifications of such Shares consisting
solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value.
(b) Merger or Consolidation. In case of any consolidation of the Company
with, or merger of the Company with or into, another corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the entity
formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to
the Investor a supplemental option providing that the Investor shall
have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such option) to
receive, upon exercise of such option, the kind and amount of shares
of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Option
Stock of the Company for which such option might have been exercised
immediately prior to such
-2-
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental option
shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the
adjustments provided above. The above provision of this subsection
shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.
(c) Notices of Adjustments. After each adjustment of the Exercise Price or
the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of any of the
aforementioned option pursuant to this Section 1.3, the Company will
promptly (but in all cases within seven (7) days) prepare a notice to
the Investor setting forth: (i) the Exercise Price, as so adjusted,
(ii) the number of shares of Option Stock purchasable upon exercise of
the option after such adjustment, and (iii) a brief statement of the
facts accounting for such adjustment. The Company will cause such
notice to be sent by overnight courier to the Investor at his last
