EXHIBIT 13.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT made this ____ day of March, 1997 by SAF T
LOK INCORPORATED, a Florida corporation (the "Company"), in favor
of XXXXX X. XXXXX XX. (the "Holder").
AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company has agreed, among
other things, to grant to Holder the Option (as herein defined).
1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to Holder the right
to purchase fifty thousand (50,000) newly-issued shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value (the
"Common Stock"), exercisable through March 31, 2002 (the "Op-
tion").
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share for which
all or any of the Shares may be purchased pursuant to the terms
of the Option is two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) (the "Exer
cise Price").
3. Exercise. The Option may be exercised by the Holder
upon delivery of written notice of intent to exercise in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" to the Company at the following
address: 00000 X.X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, or
such other address as the Company shall designate in a written
notice to the Holder, together with this Agreement and a check
payable to the Company for the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Shares so purchased. Upon exercise of the Option as aforesaid,
the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event
within thirty (30) days thereafter, execute and deliver to the
Holder a certificate or certificates for the total number of
whole Shares for which the Option is being exercised. If the
Option shall be exercised with respect to less than all of the
Shares, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Agreement
covering the number of Shares in respect of which the Option
shall not have been exercised, which new Agreement shall in all
other respects be identical to this Agreement. The Company cov-
enants and agrees that it shall pay when due any and all state
and federal issue taxes which may be payable in respect of the
issuance of the Option or the issuance of any Shares upon exer-
cise of the Option.
4. Covenants and Conditions. The above provisions are
subject to the following:
(a) Neither the Option nor the Shares have been regis-
tered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securi
ties Act") or any state securities laws (the "Blue Sky Laws").
The Option has been acquired for investment purposes and not with
a view to distribution or resale and may not be pledged, hypothe-
cated, sold, made subject to a security interest, or otherwise
transferred without (i) an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act and applicable Blue Sky Laws, or (ii) an opin-
ion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that registration is
not required under the Securities Act or under any applicable
Blue Sky Laws. Transfer of the Shares issued upon the exercise
of the Option shall be restricted in the same manner and to the
same extent as the Option and the certificates representing such
Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFI
CATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNTIL
(I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR SUCH AP-
PLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFEC
TIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (II) IN THE OPINION OF
COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, REGISTRATION UNDER
THE ACT OR SUCH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW IS NOT
REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSFER.
The Holder agrees to execute such other documents and instruments
as counsel for the Company reasonably deems necessary to effect
the compliance of the issuance of the Option and any Shares is-
sued upon exercise of the Option with applicable federal and
state securities laws.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares
which may be issued upon exercise of the Option shall, upon is-
suance and payment therefor, be legally and validly issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes,
liens, charges and preemptive rights, if any, with respect there-
to or to the issuance thereof. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of the
Option such number of authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the
Option.
5. Transfer of Option. The Option may not be transferred,
in whole or in part. In the event of the death or final deter-
mination of legal incapacity of the Holder during such time as
the Holder shall possess the Option granted hereunder, the per-
xxxxx representative of the Holder may, for a period of ninety
(90) days following the date of death or final determination of
legal incapacity, exercise the Option to the extent that the Hol-
der was entitled to exercise the Option on such date. Any person
so desiring to exercise the Option shall be required, as a condi
tion to the exercise of the Option, to furnish to the Company
such documentation as the Company shall deem necessary to evid-
ence the authority of such person to exercise the Option on be-
half of the Holder.
6. Adjustment Upon Changes In Capitalization.
(a) If all or any portion of the Option shall be exer-
cised subsequent to any stock split, stock dividend, recapital
ization, combination of shares of the Company, or other similar
event occurring after the date hereof, then the Holder exercising
the Option shall receive, for the aggregate price paid upon the
exercise, the aggregate number and class of shares which the Hol-
der would have received if the Option had been exercised immedi-
ately prior to such stock split, stock dividend, recapitaliza
tion, combination of shares, or other similar event. If any ad-
justment under this paragraph 6(a) would create a fractional
share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of
Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the
number of shares subject to the Option shall be the next higher
number of shares, rounding all fractions upward. Whenever there
shall be an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph 6(a), the Com-
pany shall forthwith notify the Holder of such adjustment, set-
ting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjust
ment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated.
(b) If all or any portion of the Option shall be exer-
cised subsequent to any merger, consolidation, exchange of
shares, separation, reorganization or liquidation of the Company
or other similar event occurring after the date hereof, as a re-
xxxx of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the
same or a different number of shares of the same or another class
or classes of securities of the Company or another entity, then
the Holder exercising the Option shall receive, for the aggregate
price paid upon such exercise, the aggregate number and class of
shares which the Holder would have received if the Option had
been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation,
exchange of shares, separation, reorganization or liquidation, or
other similar event. If any adjustment under this paragraph 6(b)
would create a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to ac-
quire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share
shall be disregarded and the number of shares subject to this Op-
tion shall be the next higher number of shares, rounding all
fractions upward. Whenever there shall be an adjustment pursuant
to this paragraph 6(b), the Company shall forthwith notify the
Holder of such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the
event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such ad-
justment was calculated.
7. Notices. The Company shall provide the Holder with a
copy of any notice that the Company is required to provide those
persons holding shares of the Common Stock on the same date such
persons receive such notice.
8. Loss, Destruction, Etc. of Agreement. Upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, mutila
tion or destruction of this Agreement, and in the case of any
such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of a bond of in-
demnity in such form and amount as shall be reasonably satisfac-
tory to the Company, or in the event of such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the Agreement, the Company shall
make and deliver a new Agreement of like tenor in lieu of such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Agreement. Any Agreement
executed and delivered under the provisions of this paragraph 8
in lieu of any Agreement alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen,
or in lieu of any mutilated Agreement, shall constitute an orig-
inal contractual obligation on the part of the Company.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Holder have executed
this Stock Option Agreement as of the date first above written.
