securities, shall not affect the number, class or exercise price of shares of Stock then subject to the Option, and no adjustment shall be made by reason thereof.

8.           Requirements of Law.  The Company shall not be required to sell or issue shares of its Stock under the Option if the sale or issuance would constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company
of any provisions of any state or federal law, rule or regulation.  In addition, in connection with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, upon exercise of the Option, the Company shall not be required to issue such shares of Stock unless the Company has received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the Optionee will not transfer such shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or unless an opinion of counsel to the Company has
