BIOFIELD CORP.
SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT
Date of Grant: February 23, 2006
No. of Shares: 1,000,000
1. Grant of Option. For value received Biofield Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (the "Optionee"),
the following option (the "Option") to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares
(subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the "Option Shares") of the
Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") at an
exercise price equal to $0.04 per share (the "Exercise Price"). It is understood
that the Option is not intended to constitute an incentive stock option as that
term is defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
2. Exercise Period. The Optionee may exercise the option at any time until
its expiration. The option may be exercised by the Optionee for any number of
shares up to the total number of shares as to which the option has become
exercisable, less the number of shares as to which the option has been
previously been exercised, from time to time and at any time until the
termination or expiration of the Option. The Option shall expire and terminate
on February 23, 2011.
3. Procedure for Exercise. The Optionee may exercise the Option in whole or
in part, but not as to any fractional shares, by surrender of the Option,
properly endorsed if required, at the principal office of the Company, and by
delivering by certified check or bank check the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of shares to be purchased pursuant to such exercise. At the time of
exercise, the Optionee shall deliver a letter to the Company agreeing that the
Optionee is purchasing the Common Stock for investment purposes and not with a
view to distribution otherwise than in compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and agreeing not to offer to sell, sell
or otherwise dispose of any of such shares acquired by the Optionee pursuant to
the Option in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
laws. The Common Stock purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Optionee on
and as of the date on which the Option is surrendered and payment is made for
the Common Stock. Certificates representing the Common Stock purchased shall be
delivered to the Optionee promptly, which usually is within ten days after the
rights represented by the Option have been properly exercised. Unless the Option
shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, a new Share Option
Agreement in the same form as this Share Option Agreement representing any
number of shares for which the Option shall not have been exercised, shall also
be delivered to the Optionee within that time.
4. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation; Registration Rights.
1
4.1 Shares to be Fully Paid. The Company covenants and agrees that
when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Share Option
Agreement, the shares of common stock underlying the Option shall, on issuance,
be fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
related to the issuance of the shares.
4.2 Reservation. The Company further covenants and agrees that
during the period within which the rights represented by the Option may be
exercised, the Company shall, at all times, have authorized and reserved for the
purpose of issuance or transfer on exercise of the Option a sufficient number of
shares subject to the Option to provide for its exercise.
4.3 Registration Rights. To the extent that the resale of the Option
Shares are not registered on a Registration Statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Company further covenants that the
Optionee has the right to cause the Company to register the Option Shares issued
upon exercise hereof, under the Securities Act and any blue sky or securities
laws of any jurisdictions within the United States by filing a registration
statement with the SEC within ninety (90) days following the issuance of the
Option Shares, provided that such registration rights shall not be transferable,
shall be exercisable only by the Optionee, and shall apply only to the
registration of all of the Option Shares, and not any part thereof. The Company
may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of the registration statement or
suspend the Company's obligation to cause such registration statement to become
and remain effective if (i) at any time prior to the filing of such registration
statement with the SEC the Company is engaged in confidential negotiations or
other confidential business activities, disclosure of which, in the Company's
reasonable opinion, would be required in such registration statement and would
not be required if such registration statement were not filed, and the Company's
board of directors determines in good faith that such disclosure would be
materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders or would have a
material adverse effect on any such confidential negotiations or other
confidential business activities, (ii) the Company is actively engaged in
discussions with underwriters with respect to a registered underwritten public
offering of the Company's securities for the Company's account and is proceeding
with reasonable diligence to effect such offering, or (iii) if there exists at
the time material non-public information relating to the Company, which in the
reasonable opinion of the Company should not be disclosed. If, after a
registration statement filed under this Section 4 becomes effective, the Company
advises Optionee (or its permitted assigns) that the Company considers it
appropriate for the registration statement to be amended, Optionee (or its
permitted assigns) shall suspend any further sales of its registered Option
Shares until the Company advises it that the registration statement has been
amended.
5. Adjustment Provisions Subsequent to the Trigger Event; Dissolution.
5.1 Adjustment for Distributions Other than Stock Dividends, Stock
Splits Subsequent to the Trigger Event. At any time subsequent to the Trigger

other securities and property (including cash in the case referred to in

hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all
such other or additional stock and other securities and property (including cash

in Section 3, shall be appropriately adjusted such that the proportion of the
number of shares issuable hereunder to the total number of shares of the Company

after such Stock Event (or any record date with respect thereto); provided that
(i) in no event will the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common
Stock and (ii) any adjustment contemplated by this Section 5.2 will take into
account any distributions of stock and other securities and property (including
cash) that Optionee may receive as a result of an adjustment made in accordance
with Section 5.1. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be

foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of

properties and assets to any other entity (corporate or otherwise), or
consolidate with or merge into any other entity or permit any such entity to
