         The option for any shares not acquired under each monthly option period
shall  roll over to the  following  month but shall only be  exercisable  at the
higher price. Example:  100,000 shares exercised in month 1. In month 2, 150,000
shares [the  100,000  shares for such month and the 50,000 roll over shares] are
exercisable, but only at the $1.50 price.

         The option for any shares, including all roll over shares, not acquired
under the option at the end of 4 months shall terminate the last business day of
such fourth  month,  and  ownership of those shares by Grantor shall be absolute
and not subject to any further option thereafter.

         Simultaneous  with the  execution of this Option,  Optionee has secured
and option with the same terms from Michael T. Williams and has granted  options
to Lambo Investments, Ltd. and JB Brown, Ltd. Optionee has entered into a merger
agreement  with First Irving  Strategic  Group,  Inc. First Irving has agreed to
register the shares  underlying  these options on Form SB-2, which will be filed
before the effective  date of this  registration  statement.  This  registration
statement will also register  shares of Mr.  Williams and Mr. Rill for resale in
the event the options are not fully  exercised.  First Irving has agreed to keep
the  registration  statement  effective as long as necessary to permit resale of
these shares.  First Irving has agreed that all funds  received upon exercise of
the  options by Lambo  Investments,  Ltd.  and JB Brown,  Ltd.  shall be used to
exercise  the  options  with Mr.  Williams  and Mr.  Rill on a  pro-rata  basis.
Optionee will be subject to this obligation following the closing of the merger.

         3.       Method of  Exercise.  The  Option shall  be  exercisable  by a
                  ------------------
written  notice signed  by an authorized  representative of  Optionee. All funds
wired to pay for the shares must be clear and available by the close of business
on or before the last business day of each option period in order for the option
to be exercised.

         4.       No Assignability of Option.  The Option may not be assigned by
                   --------------------------
Optionee.
