2.7 Exercise Default. The Company shall at all times reserve and have available all Common Stock necessary to meet exercise of the Options by all Optionholders of the entire amount of Options then outstanding. If, at any time Optionholder submits an Election to Exercise Option and the Company does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of freely tradeable Common Stock available to effect, in full, a exercise of the Options (a “Exercise Default”, the date of such default being referred to herein as the “Exercise Default Date”), the Company shall issue to the Optionholder all of the shares of Common Stock which are available, and the Election to Exercise Option as to any Options requested to be converted but not converted (the “Unconverted Options”), upon Optionholder’s sole option, may be deemed null and void.

14 |
(1) business day of such default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier), and the Optionholder shall give notice to the Company by facsimile within five (5) business days of receipt of the original Notice of Exercise Default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier) of its election to either nullify or confirm the Election to Exercise Option.

6.1 Adjustments. The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Option shall be subject to adjustments as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on Common Stock in Common Stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise entitling a holder thereof to receive Common Stock, (ii) declare a dividend payable in cash on its Common Stock and at substantially the same time offer its shareholders a right to purchase new Common Stock (or securities convertible into, exchangeable for or other entitling a holder thereof to receive Common Stock) from the proceeds of such dividend (all Common Stock so issued shall be deemed to have been issued as a stock dividend), (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (v) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Common Stock of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holders of the Options shall be entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above that number and kind of shares as the holders would have received had such Options been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subdivision shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a stock dividend and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of a stock split, subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) In case the Company shall distribute, without receiving consideration therefor, to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends other than as described in Section 6(c)), then in such case, the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter issuable upon exercise of the Options shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Options, by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the closing bid price per share of Common Stock on the record date for such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be
16 |
the closing bid price of the Common Stock less the then fair value (as Approved by the Board of Directors of the Company acting in accordance with an independent third party external appraisal, whose determination shall be conclusive of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution, as defined in this section, is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(c) Any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder otherwise required to be made by this Section 6 will not have to be adjusted if such adjustment would not require an increase or decrease in one percent (1%) or more in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Option will be made for the issuance of shares of capital stock to directors, employees or independent Optionors pursuant to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ stock option, stock ownership or other benefit plans or arrangements or trusts related thereto or for issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under such plan will not exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares in a fully diluted bases.
(d) Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Options is adjusted, as herein provided the Option Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Option Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each share of the Options immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable immediately thereafter.
(e) The Company from time to time by action of its Board of Directors may decrease the Option Price by any amount for any period of time if the period of the lower Option Price, will remain at least twenty (20) consecutive days the decrease is irrevocable during that period and the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion shall have made a determination that such decrease would be in the best interest of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Option Price is decreased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to holders of record of the Options a notice of the decrease at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the decreased Option Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Option Price and the period it will be in effect.

17 |
holder of Options then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to exercise such Option only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Options would have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, capital reorganization or reclassification, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (A) is not an entity with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (“constituent entity”), or an affiliate of a constituent entity, and (B) failed to exercise his or her rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent entity or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights or election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purpose of this Section 6.2 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). If necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provision set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holder of Options, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Options.
