VOTING AT SPECIAL MEETING
1.
Record Date . The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on July 31, 2003, as the record date for the purpose of determining Shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. At the close of business on that date, the Company had 97,919,999 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. A majority of such shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting. Proxies which are submitted but are not voted for or against (because of abstention, broker nonvotes or otherwise) will be treated as present for all matters considered at the meeting.
2.
Solicitation of Proxies. The accompanying Proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company, and the cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. Following the original mailing of the Proxies and soliciting materials, directors, officers and employees of the Company may, but do not presently intend, to solicit Proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph, or personal interviews. The Company may request brokers, custodians, nominees, and other record holders to forward copies of the Proxies and soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares of the Company and to request authority for the exercise of Proxies. In such cases, the Company will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. The Company does not intend to utilize the services of an outside proxy solicitation firm.
3.
Revocation of Proxy. Any Proxy delivered in the accompanying form may be revoked by the person executing the Proxy by written notice to that effect received by the Secretary of the Company at any time before the authority thereby granted is exercised, by execution of a Proxy bearing a later date presented at the meeting, or by attendance of such person at the Special Meeting.
4.
How Proxies will be Voted. Proxies received by the Board of Directors in the accompanying form will be voted at the Special Meeting as specified therein by the person giving the Proxy. If no specification is made with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the meeting, the shares represented by such Proxy will be voted FOR the merger of the Company with and into its whollyowned Delaware subsidiary; FOR the 10:1 reverse split of the Companys outstanding common stock; and FOR approval of the Companys Stock Option Plan.
All shares represented by valid Proxy will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matters that may properly come before the meeting. However, the Board of Directors does not know of any matters to be considered at the meeting other than those specified in the Notice of Meeting.
5.
Voting Power. Shareholders of the Common Stock of the Company are entitled to one vote for each share held. There is no cumulative voting for directors.
6.
Principal Shareholders. The following table sets forth the identity of the record owners of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any class of the Company as of July 31, 2003:

7.
Required Approvals. On July 3, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted resolutions (1) to merge the Company with and into a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary and thereby (a) change the domicile of the Company from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware; (b) change the Companys name to EnerTeck Corporation and; (c) effect a ten for one reverse split of its Common Stock; (2) to consider and vote upon the approval of the Companys Stock Option Plan; and (3) that the Directors recommend that the Companys Shareholders vote to approve each of the above matters to be submitted to the Shareholders for consideration at the Special Meeting of Shareholders.
The proposal to merge the Company with and into its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary and thereby change the Companys state of domicile from Washington to Delaware and change the Companys name to EnerTeck Corporation will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker nonvotes will have the effect of a vote against the merger.
The proposal for the reverse split of the Companys common stock will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker nonvotes will have the effect of a vote against the proposal with respect to effecting the reverse split of the Companys common stock.
The approval of the Companys Stock Option Plan requires the favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present at the meeting, provided a quorum is present; abstentions would have the effect of negative votes for this matter; broker nonvotes are not counted for purposes of determining the number of shares present, and thus would have no effect on this matter.
8.
Dissenters Rights. There are no dissenters rights applicable to any matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.

As of July 31, 2003, there were approximately 900 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock.
THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS ARE SUBMITTED TO THE SHAREHOLDERS FOR CONSIDERATION AT THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS:
1.
MERGER WITH SUBSIDIARY
Upon the effective date of the Merger, the Company will be merged with and into its Delaware subsidiary, which will be the surviving company. The Plan of Merger is set forth as Exhibit I. The merger of the Company with and into its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary will have the effect of changing the domicile of the Company from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware. The Company will thereafter be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware rather than the laws of the State of Washington.
The name of the Company will be changed to EnerTeck Corporation.
The Company will be governed by the articles of incorporation of the Delaware corporation, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit II. The following discussion identifies the material differences between our current articles of incorporation and the articles of incorporation of the surviving company and the rationale for the changes.
Capital Structure Common Stock . The Company is currently authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value Common Stock, of which 97,919,999 shares were issued and outstanding and held of record by approximately 900 Shareholders as of July 31, 2003. The surviving company will have 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock authorized and approximately 9,792,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Management believes that the increased number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock will provide the Company with an adequate supply of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for general corporate needs including obtaining additional financing, possible stock dividends, exercise of stock options, exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants, employee incentive and benefit plans or consummation of acquisitions at times when the Board, in its discretion, deems it advantageous to do so.
All shares of Common Stock are equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights. Owners of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share they own at any Shareholders' meeting. Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution to Shareholders. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares. Although the Board of Directors would authorize the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders, the issuance of authorized shares of Common Stock could have the effect of diluting the voting power and book value per share of the outstanding Common Stock.
Authorized shares of Common Stock in excess of those shares outstanding will be available for general corporate purposes, may be privately placed and could be used to make a change in control of the Company more difficult. Under certain circumstances, the Board of Directors could create impediments to, or frustrate, persons seeking to effect a takeover or transfer in control of the Company by causing such shares to be issued to a holder or holders who might side with the Board of Directors in opposing a takeover bid that the Board of Directors determines is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, but in which unaffiliated shareholders may wish to participate. In this connection, the Board of Directors could issue authorized shares of Common Stock to a holder or holders which, when voted together with the shares held by members of the Board of Directors and the executive officers and their families, could prevent the majority shareholder vote required by the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect certain matters. Furthermore, the existence of such shares might have the effect of discouraging any attempt by a person, through the acquisition of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock, to acquire control of the Company, since the issuance of such shares should dilute the Company's book value per share and the Common Stock ownership of such person. This may be beneficial to management in a hostile tender offer, thus having an adverse impact on shareholders who may want to participate in such tender offer.
The additional authorized Common Stock would be available for issuance in the future for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors deems advisable from time to time without the delay and expense incident to obtaining shareholder approval, unless such action is required by applicable law or by the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or of any stock exchange upon which the Company's shares may then be listed. It should be noted that subject to the limitations discussed above, all of the types of Board action with respect to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock that are described in the preceding paragraphs can currently be taken and that the power of the Board of Directors to take such actions would not be enhanced by the merger, although the merger would increase the number of shares of Common Stock that are available for the taking of such action.
Capital Structure Preferred Stock. We currently have 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized. The articles of incorporation of the surviving company authorizes the Company to issue, from time to time as determined by the Board of Directors, up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with no stated value and a par value of $0.001 per share ("Preferred Shares). This represents no material difference from the present capital structure.
Corporate Law Comparison
The following sets forth an analysis of material differences in corporate law between the states of Washington and Delaware.
Tax Aspects
It is managements belief that pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 368 (a)(1)(F), this change of domicile from Washington to Delaware will qualify as a tax free exchange as a mere change in identity, form or place of incorporation of one corporation, however effected.
Assuming that the merger of the Company into its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code:
•
No gain or loss will be recognized by a Shareholder of the Company as a result of the merger with respect to shares of the Company converted solely into shares of the surviving company;
•
The tax basis of the shares of stock of the surviving company received by the Companys Shareholders will be the same as the tax basis of the Companys stock exchanged therefor;
•
The holding period of the surviving company stock received by the Companys Shareholders in the merger will include the period during which the Companys stock surrendered in exchange therefor were held, provided that such shares of the Company were held as capital assets at the effective date of the merger.
No Opinion of Counsel and Advice to Seek Own Tax Adviser
The Company has not sought an opinion of counsel with respect to the tax consequences of the transactions to be considered at the meeting. The Company does not believe that the reincorporation in Delaware will have any tax consequences to the Company's Shareholders. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisers or counsel if they have any questions regarding the tax aspects of the transaction.
Board Recommendation
The proposal to merge the Company with its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the change of the Companys state of domicile from Washington to Delaware.
2.
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Each currently outstanding ten shares of Common Stock will become one share of Common Stock of the Surviving Company. To arrive at the number of shares of post-reverse split shares you will own, take the number of shares you currently own and divide that number by 10. Therefore, a person currently holding one thousand shares of Common Stock will hold one hundred shares of Common Stock after the reverse split. No fractional shares will be issued. Any fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share.
If both the merger and the reverse stock split are approved, each ten shares of Common Stock held by our current Shareholders will automatically become one share of the surviving company. This is the same effect as a 10:1 reverse stock split. No fractional shares will be issued. Any resulting fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. If the reverse stock split is approved but the merger is not approved, the Company will amend its current Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse Stock Split. In the event that the merger is approved but the reverse stock split is not approved, the Plan of Merger (attached hereto as Exhibit I) will be amended change to the share exchange ratio from 10:1 to 1:1.
3.
APPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN
At the Special Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve the resolutions ratifying, approving, and confirming the Board of Directors' adoption of the Company's Stock Option Plan.
Discussion
The adoption of the Stock Option Plan is intended to give the Company greater ability to attract, retain, and motivate its officers, key employees, directors and consultants; and is intended to provide the Company with the ability to provide incentives more directly linked to the success of the Company's business and increases in Shareholder value.
The Stock Option Plan is structured so that both Incentive Stock Options qualified under the Internal Revenue Code and non qualified stock options may be issued. The Plan is administered under the auspices of the Board of Directors. It is intended, that to the extent possible, the exercise of Stock Options will be exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Options are exercisable for a maximum of ten (10) years except for any 10% shareholder in which the options are exercisable for a maximum of five (5) years. Transferability is prohibited except for limited circumstances regarding the demise of an Optionee.
The maximum number of shares available for issue upon the exercise of all stock option plans adopted by the Company shall not exceed ten million shares.
The option exercise price for Incentive Stock Options may be no less than the fair market value on the date of grant of the Option, except that the exercise price for any ten percent (10%) shareholder must be 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The option price for the Non-Qualified Stock Options is the lowest allowable price under applicable law.
A copy of the Stock Option Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit III, and incorporated herein by this reference.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a)
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by them.
Based solely on its review of copies of such forms furnished to the Company, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the following persons were delinquent complying with the 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them: Robert OBrien had one delinquent report on Form 4.
ANNUAL REPORT
A Shareholder of record may obtain a copy of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 (the "Form 10-KSB") and financial statements and financial statement schedules required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 13a-1 under the Act for the Companys most recent fiscal year, without cost, upon written request to the Secretary of the Company at 10701 Corporate Drive, Suite 150, Stafford, Texas 77477. This report may also be found at www.sec.gov. The Annual Report on Form 10-KSB is not part of the proxy solicitation materials for the Special Meeting.
OTHER BUSINESS
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the Special Meeting other than those described above. However, should other business properly be brought before the Special Meeting, the proxies will be voted thereon in the discretion of the persons acting thereunder.

4. Administration of the Plan .
(a)
The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws.
(b)
Powers of the Administrator . Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:
(i)
to determine the Fair Market Value;
(ii)
to select the Service Providers to whom Options may from time to time be granted hereunder;
(iii)
to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each such Option granted hereunder;
(iv)
to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(v)
to determine the terms and conditions of any Option granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting, acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Optionees to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and
(viii)
to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Options granted pursuant to the Plan.
(c)
Effect of Administrators Decision . All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Optionees.
5. Eligibility . Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.
6. Limitations .
(a)
Incentive Stock Option Limit . Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars), such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
(b)
At-Will Employment . Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.
7. Term of Plan . Subject to shareholder approval in accordance with Section 18, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. Unless sooner terminated under Section 14, it shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of (i) the effective date of the Plan, or (ii) the date of the most recent Board approval of an increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.
8. Term of Option . The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.
9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration .
(a) Exercise Price . The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:
(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
(A)
granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(B)
granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to an assumption or substitution of another option in connection with a merger or other corporate transaction.
(b) Forms of Consideration . The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of, without limitations, (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares, provided Shares acquired from the Company, either directly or indirectly, (x) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may permit an Optionee to exercise his or her Option by delivery of a full-recourse promissory note secured by the purchased Shares. The terms of such promissory note shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
10. Exercise of Option .
(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder . Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.
Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
(b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider . If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionees termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(c) Disability of Optionee . If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionees Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionees termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(d) Death of Optionee . If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionees designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Optionees death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Optionee, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Optionees estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionees will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
11. Limited Transferability of Options . Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, and set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act. In addition, any transferable Option shall contain additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.
12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Change in Control .
(a) Changes in Capitalization . Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number and type of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, the ISO Share Issuance Limit, and the number and type of Shares covered by each outstanding Option, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number or type of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been effected without receipt of consideration. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number, type or price of Shares subject to an Option.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation . In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(c) Change in Control . In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. If, in such event, the Option is not assumed or substituted, then the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise this Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If this Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that this Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and this Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.
13. Time of Granting Options . The date of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or such later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
14. Amendment and Termination of the Plan .
(a)
Amendment and Termination . The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b)
Shareholder Approval . The Board shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.
(c)
Effect of Amendment or Termination . No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrators ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
15. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares .
(a)
Legal Compliance . Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b)
Investment Representations . As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
16. Inability to Obtain Authority . The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Companys counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
17. Reservation of Shares . The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
18. Shareholder Approval . The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.
