4.          EXERCISE
OF OPTIONS. (a) The Option shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as practicable after
the receipt of notice of exercise and payment of the Exercise Price as provided for in the Plan, the Company shall tender to the
Optionee a certificate issued in the Optionee’s name evidencing the number of Option Shares covered thereby.


 


(b)          The
Company agrees that, as contemplated in Section 13(b) of the Plan, the Optionee may elect to have the Company reduce the number
of Option Shares otherwise issuable by a number of Option Shares having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the
exercise price of the Option being exercised. In the event of such election, the Company shall issue to the Optionee a number of
Option Shares computed using the following formula:


 


	X	 	=	 	Y (A-B)
	 	 	 	 	A
	 	 	 	 	 
	Where X	 	=	 	the number of Option Shares to be issued to the Optionee
	 	 	 	 	 
	Y	 	=	 	the number of Option Shares subject to this Option (or the
    portion thereof being cancelled)
	 	 	 	 	 
	A	 	=	 	the Fair Market Value of one Option Share
	 	 	 	 	 
	B	 	=	 	the Exercise Price


 


5.          TRANSFERABILITY.
The Option shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the Optionee’s
lifetime, shall not be exercisable by any person other than the Optionee.


 


6.          TERMINATION
OF DIRECTORSHIP. To the extent the Option becomes exercisable, the Option shall remain exercisable until twelve (12) months
following any subsequent termination of directorship with the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason whatsoever but in no event
shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiration Date.


 


7.          INCORPORATION
BY REFERENCE. The terms and conditions of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.
