6.

Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder.

All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall, upon issuance, be duly  authorized,  validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable securities laws.
