more outstanding Options, then the period during which each outstanding Option
held by such Optionee is to remain exercisable shall be limited to a period of
one (1) year following the date of the Optionee's death. During such limited
period, the Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the
Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred

of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either
upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights, warrants or options to
subscribe therefor, or upon conversions of shares or obligations of the Company
convertible into such shares or other 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

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 been
received to the effect that such registration is not required. Any determination
in this regard by the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Certificates representing shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the
Option will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as
may be applicable under federal and state laws, regulations and rules, or the
requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system. In the
event the shares issuable on exercise of the Option are not registered under the
Securities Act, the Company may imprint the following legend or any other legend
which counsel to the Company considers necessary or advisable:

     "The shares of Stock represented by this certificate have not been
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the securities laws of
     any state and may not be sold or transferred except upon such registration
     or upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
     Company that registration is not required for such sale or transfer."

     The Corporation may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any
securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933; and in the
event any shares are so registered, the Company may, in its discretion, remove
any legend on certificates representing such shares. The Company shall not be
obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of
the Option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any state
or federal law or regulation.

to the Option granted hereunder will be acquired for investment and not with any

             AMENDMENT TO SUTRON CORPORATION STOCK OPTION AGREEMENTS

Pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Sutron Corporation Stock
Option Agreements dated November 1, 1996 and October 18, 2002 (the "Agreement")
between Raul S. McQuivey and Sutron Corporation, and the Sutron Corporation 1996
Stock Option Plan and 2002 Stock Option Plan (the "Plans"), you were granted
options to purchase 93,600 shares and 110,000 shares of Sutron Corporation
Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.125 and $.55. Your options originally
vested over a five year period.

On December 22, 2005, the Board of Directors of Sutron Corporation approved
amendments to all outstanding stock option agreements whereby Sutron accelerated
the vesting of all unvested options issued under the Plan, including your
options. As a result of such acceleration, effective December 22, 2005, all of
your options to purchase Sutron Corporation Common Stock that were not then
vested became immediately vested and exercisable. Accordingly, effective
December 22, 2005 all of your options to purchase Sutron Corporation Common
Stock are immediately vested and exercisable. All other terms and conditions of
your Agreements remain unchanged.

This Amendment is effective as of December 22, 2005. As amended by this letter,
all of the provisions of the Agreement are hereby approved, confirmed and
ratified. Please acknowledge your agreement to the foregoing terms by signing in
the space provided below and returning the originally executed letter.
