3.   Exercise
of Option. The Option shall be exercised by (a) written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee
at the address and in the form specified by the Company from time to time and (b) payment to the Company in full for the Shares

5.   Restrictions
on Issuance of Shares. If at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion, that registration, listing or qualification
of the Shares covered by the Option upon any securities exchange or under any foreign, federal, or local law or practice, or the
consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the exercise of the Option,
the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.


 


6.   Notification

of exercise, of the Option. The Company has the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Optionee to remit to
the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any
