Company  may be  required  by law to  withhold  such taxes for payment to taxing
authorities.  Upon  determination by the Company of the amount of taxes required
to be withheld,  if any, with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to the
exercise of the Option,  the Grantee shall pay all Federal,  state and local tax
withholding  requirements to the Company.  No shares of Stock shall be delivered
upon exercise of the Option until the purchase  price and any  applicable  taxes
are paid in full to the Company.

     3.3 The Company is not required to deliver any shares of Stock  pursuant to

issuance  would  violate  the  Securities  Act of 1933 or any  other  applicable
federal or state securities laws or regulations.

such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, the Grantee's right to purchase
such Option Shares may be terminated by the Company.  The date  specified in the
Grantee's notice as the date of exercise shall be deemed the date of exercise of
the Option,  provided that payment in full for the Option Shares to be purchased
upon such exercise shall have been received by such date.

split, spin-off, stock dividend, reclassification, subdivision or combination of
shares,  merger,  consolidation  rights  offering,  or any  other  change in the
corporate structure or shares of capital stock of Company,  the Board shall make
