RECITALS
The Shareholders own, collectively, 551,415 shares of common stock (the

agreement with Ostar Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ostar")

and, as a result of the Merger, it will acquire certain shares of common and
preferred stock of CAE in exchange for its Ostar shares.

additional shares of common stock of CAE and, accordingly, it is willing to
pay certain consideration to the Shareholders for an option to purchase the
Shares upon the terms and conditions set forth herein within the "Option

to Warner and, in addition, the Shareholders wish to have the right to require
Warner to purchase the Shares within the Option Period.

as follows:
1. Consideration for Option. On the date of closing of the Merger, and
subject to the consummation thereof, Warner agrees to pay the sum of

Warner shall make the Contract Payment to Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Esq. to be
held by him in escrow. Xx. Xxxxxxx is hereby instructed that he
should hold the Contract Payment in safe-keeping until either (a) he
receives notice of a Closing hereunder, in which case he should pay

the Option Period (defined below) when he should pay over the
Contract Payment to the Shareholders.
2. Definition of Shares. The "Shares" subject to this Agreement shall

3. Call Option. The Shareholders hereby grant to the Warner an

writing, to the Shareholders. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Shareholders shall be bound to sell, and Warner shall be bound to
purchase, all of the Shares for the purchase price of $250,000.00
(the "Purchase Price") and upon the additional terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
4. Put Option. Warner hereby grants to the Shareholders an
irrevocable option to require Warner to purchase the Shares (the

The notice of exercise of the Put Option must be duly executed by
all of the Shareholders in order to be effective. Upon receipt of
such notice, Warner shall be bound to purchase, and the
Shareholders shall be bound to sell, all of the Shares for the
Purchase Price and upon the additional terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.
