4. Term of Option; Exercise of Option.
--------------------------------------
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Optionholder shall have the

after January 31, 2010 (the "Termination Date"), to purchase from the Company up
to the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares which the Optionholder may
at the time be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Agreement, upon surrender
to the Company, at its principal executive offices of the certificate evidencing
the Option to be exercised, together with the purchase form on the reverse

Price (as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 9

exercised, but in no event for less than 5,000 Shares unless less than 5,000
Shares remain issuable upon exercise of the Option. Payment of the aggregate
Option Price shall be made in cash or by bank certified check.
Upon such surrender of the Option and payment of such Option
Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all
reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Optionholder and in such
name or names as the Optionholder may designate a certificate or certificates
for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of the Option,

Shares as of the date of the surrender of the Option and payment of the Option
Price, as aforesaid, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such
Shares shall not actually have been delivered or that the stock transfer books
of the Company shall then be closed. The Option shall be exercisable, at the
election of the Optionholder, either in full or from time to time in part and,

------------------------------------------------
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the
Option and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
10.1 Adjustments.
------------
The number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option
and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) subdivide its
outstanding Common Stock, (ii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iii) issue by reclassification of
its Common Stock other securities of the Company, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Option immediately prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the Optionholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and
number of Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or
would have been entitled to receive after the happening of such event or any
record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
subsection 10.1(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date
of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(b) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of the Option is adjusted as provided in (a) above, the Option Price
payable upon exercise of the Option shall be adjusted by multiplying such Option
Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator
shall be the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Option
immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the
number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
(c) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of the Option or the Option Price is adjusted as herein provided, the
Company shall cause to be promptly mailed to the Optionholder by first class
mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment or adjustments and a
certificate of the Company setting forth the number of Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of the Option and the Option Price after such adjustment, a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which
such adjustment was made.

(d) For the purpose of this Section 8, the term "Common
Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the
Company at the date of this Agreement and (ii) any other class of stock
resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock
consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 10, the Optionholder shall become
entitled to purchase any shares of the Company other than Common Stock,
thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon exercise of the
Option and the Option Price of such shares shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the Shares contained in this Section 10.
10.2 No Adjustment for Dividends.
----------------------------
Except as provided in subsection 10.1 hereof, no adjustment in
respect of any dividends shall be made during the term of the Option or upon the
exercise of the Option.
10.3 Preservation of Purchase Rights upon Reclassification,
------------------------------------------------------
Consolidation, etc.
-------------------
In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of
the Company into another corporation or in case of any sale or conveyance to
another corporation of the property, assets or business of the Company as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Optionholder
an agreement that the Optionholder shall have the right thereafter upon payment
of the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase upon
exercise of the Option the kind and amount of shares and other securities and
property which the Optionholder would have owned or have been entitled to
receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such action. In the event of
a merger described in Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the right to
purchase Shares under the Option shall terminate on the date of such merger and
thereupon the Option shall become null and void but only if the controlling
corporation shall agree to substitute for the Option its option which entitles
the holder thereof to purchase upon its exercise the kind and amount of shares
and other securities and property which the Optionholder would have owned or had
been entitled to receive had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such
merger.

The agreements referred to in this subsection 10.3 shall
provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10. The provisions
of this subsection 10.3 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, sales or conveyances.
10.4 Statement of Option.
--------------------
Where any adjustment which by reason of Section 10.1(c) hereof
is not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment and the Option certificate or certificates
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in the Option initially issuable
pursuant to this Agreement.
11. Fractional Interests.
---------------------
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares on the
exercise of the Option. If any fraction of a Share would, except for the
provisions of this Section 10, be issuable on the exercise of the Option (or
specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the
then current market price multiplied by such fraction.
12. No Rights as Shareholder; Notices to Optionholder.
--------------------------------------------------
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the certificates
representing the Option shall be construed as conferring upon the Optionholder
or its transferees any rights as a shareholder of the Company, including the
right to vote, receive dividends, consent or receive notices as a shareholder in
respect to any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the
Company or any other matter. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of
the Option and prior to its exercise, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to
Section 10.1 or 10.3; or
(b) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale of its property,
assets and business as an entirety or substantially as an entirety) shall be
proposed; then in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give notice
in writing of such event to the Optionholder as provided in Section 14 hereof at
least 20 days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing
the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to any
relevant rights in connection with such action or for the determination of
shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation or
winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing
the transfer books, as the case may be.
