Section 6. Mutilated or Missing Option Certificates.
If any mutilated Option Certificate is surrendered to the Company and the Company receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Option Certificate, then the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Option Certificate or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Option Certificate, a new Option Certificate of like tenor and for a like aggregate number of Options.

The provisions of this Section 6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Option Certificates.
Section 7. Reservation of Shares; Listing.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, and out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of Options as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Options. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise of the Options shall, upon issue in accordance with the terms of this Option Agreement, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
Section 8. Anti-dilution Provisions.
So long as any Options are outstanding, the Exercise Price and the number of Options issuable upon exercise of each Option shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of Options and (ii) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(b) Reorganization or Reclassification. In case of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (whether pursuant to a merger or consolidation or otherwise), or in the event of any similar transaction, each whole Option shall thereafter be exercisable for the number of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such capital reorganization or reclassification of capital stock or other transaction, as the case may be, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Option was exercisable immediately prior to such capital reorganization or reclassification of capital stock; and, in any case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made for the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders of the Options to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Options. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(c) Exercise Price Adjustment. Upon each adjustment of the number of Option Shares issuable upon exercise of each whole Option pursuant to this Section 8, the Exercise Price of each Option outstanding immediately prior to such adjustment shall thereafter be equal to an adjusted Exercise Price per Option Share determined (to the nearest cent) by multiplying the Exercise Price for each whole Option immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Option Shares issuable upon exercise of each whole Option immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the number of Option Shares issuable upon exercise of each whole Option immediately after such adjustment.
Section 9. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.
In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, each Holder of Options shall have the right thereafter to exercise its Options for the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Holder's Options may have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Adjustments for events subsequent to the effective date of such a consolidation, merger, sale or transfer of assets shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. In any such event, effective provisions shall be made in the certificate or articles of incorporation of the resulting or surviving corporation, in any contract of sale, merger, conveyance, lease, transfer or otherwise so that the provisions set forth herein for the protection of the rights of the Holders of the Options shall thereafter continue to be applicable; and any such resulting or surviving corporation shall expressly assume the obligation to deliver, upon exercise, such shares of stock, other securities, cash and property. The provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases or transfers.
Section 10. Fractional Shares.
No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Options and in lieu of delivery of any such fractional Share upon any exercise thereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value thereof; provided, however, that, in the event that the Company combines or reclassifies the outstanding Shares of its Common Stock into a smaller number of Shares, it shall be required to issue fractional Shares to a Holder if the Holder exercises all or any part of its Options, unless the Holder has consented in writing to such reduction and provided the Company with a written waiver of its right to receive fractional shares in accordance with this Section 10. If more than one Option shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same Option Holder, the number of full Option Shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon such exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock acquirable on exercise of the Options so presented. The Option Holders, by their acceptance of the Option Certificates, expressly waive any and all rights to receive any fraction of a share of Common Stock or a stock certificate representing a fraction of a share of Common Stock.
Section 11. No Stock Rights.
Prior to the exercise of the Options, no Option Holder of a Option Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise thereof, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon any Option Holder of a Option Certificate, as such, the rights of a stockholder of the Company or the right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, to exercise any preemptive right, to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except as provided herein), or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 15 (b), any notice, demand or delivery authorized by this agreement shall be sufficiently given or made when mailed if sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to any Holder at such Holder's address shown on the Register and to the Company or the Option Agent as follows:
