(d) Dissenters Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares (“Dissenter Shares”) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any person who is entitled to demand and properly demands payment for such Dissenter Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Sections 1300 et. seq. of the CCC (the “Dissenter Rights”) shall not be converted into Merger

If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Company Shares are presented to the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.3 Company Equity Awards.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option then outstanding, whether or not then exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each a “Parent Option”) equal to the number of shares currently subject to a Company Stock Option. The terms and conditions of each Parent Option shall be subject to Parent’s existing option plan. The Parent Options shall be exercisable at the then current “fair market value” as determined by the Parent Board of Directors but equal to the then current trading price of Parent common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board as of the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any Company Stock Options which are “incentive stock options,” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, into options to purchase Parent Common Stock shall be made so as not to constitute a “modification” of such Company Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code. Any Company options reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan will be terminated. All options issued under this Section 2.3(a) shall not be exercisable unless and until receipt of a first monthly payment by the Parent or the Company of a minimum of $160,000 from a customer for management of a minimum of 20 MW of power by October 1, 2008 (“Cancellation Date”).
