adjustment  upon  recapitalization,  reclassification,  consolidation,  merger,
reorganization, stock dividend, reverse or forward stock split and the like.  If
the  Corporation  shall  be  reorganized,  consolidated  or  merged with another
corporation,  Optionee  shall  be  entitled  to receive upon the exercise of the
Option  the  same  number  and  kind  of  shares  of stock or the same amount of
property,  cash  or  securities  as Optionee would have been entitled to receive
upon  the  happening  of  any  such  corporate  event  as  if Optionee had been,
immediately  prior  to such event, the holder of the number of Shares covered by
the  Option.

employment  is terminated as a result of the disability of Optionee, all options
received  by  Optionee  hereunder will be deemed to have vested and Optionee may

"without  good  reason",  or if Optionee dies during his employment, all options
received  by  Optionee  shall  become immediately void and of no further effect.
