       5.1 Number. The total number of shares of Stock subject to Awards under
the Plan may not exceed 1,857,000, subject to adjustment upon occurrence of any
of the events indicated in Section 5.3. Such amount includes 357,000 shares
previously authorized under the Company's 1984 Incentive Stock Option Plan,

be available for the grant of an Award.

       5.3. Adjustment in Capitalization. In the event of any change in the
outstanding shares of Stock that occurs after ratification of the Plan by the
shareholders of the Company by reason of a Stock dividend or split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, or

to each outstanding Option, Restricted Stock, Performance Plan Award,
Performance Share or SAR, and its stated price, shall be adjusted appropriately
by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive; provided, however,
that fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In such
event, the Committee also shall have the discretion to make appropriate
adjustments in the number and type of shares that remain available under the
Plan pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

                           Section 6. Duration of Plan

initial effective date or subsequent amendment of the Plan.

                            Section 7. Stock Options

       7.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
Options may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as
shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete
discretion in determining the number of Options granted to each Participant. The
Committee may grant any type of Option to purchase Company Stock that is
permitted by law at the time of grant. In no event, however, shall the aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined at the

                                       4
<PAGE>

time the Option is granted) of the Stock with respect to which incentive stock
options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant in any calendar year
exceed $100,000. Nor shall any incentive stock option be granted to any person
who owns, directly or indirectly, Stock possessing more than ten percent (10%)
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company.
Nothing in this Section 7 of the Plan shall be deemed to prevent the grant of
nonstatutory stock options in amounts which exceed the maximum established by
Section 422A of the Code.

       7.2 Option Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option
agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the Option price, the
duration of the Option, the number of shares of Stock to which the Option
pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

       7.3 Option Price. The purchase price of each share of Stock subject to an
Option shall be fixed by the Committee. In the case of an incentive stock
option, this price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value at the
time the Option is granted and shall not be less than the par value thereof. In
the case of a nonqualified stock option, the purchase price shall not be less
than 80% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

       7.4 Duration of Options. Each Option shall expire at such time as the
Committee shall determine at the time it is granted, provided, however, that no
Option shall be exercisable later than ten years and one day from the date of
its grant.

       7.5 Exercise of Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as
the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for all
Participants. Each Option which is intended to qualify as an incentive stock
option pursuant to Section 422A of the Code shall comply with the applicable
provisions of the Code pertaining to such Options.

       7.6 Payment. The purchase price of Stock upon exercise of any Option
shall be paid in full (a) in cash, (b) in Stock valued at its Fair Market Value
on the date of exercise, (c) by requesting the Company to withhold from the
number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option that
number of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the Option price for all of the shares of Stock subject to
such exercise, or (d) by a combination thereof, in the manner provided in the
Option agreement. Certificates for such shares tendered in payment shall be in a
form for good delivery and, if the certificates were issued pursuant to the
exercise of an incentive stock option, the optionee must have held the tendered
shares for at least one year. The Committee in its sole discretion may permit
payment of the purchase price upon exercise of any Option to be made by
delivering a properly executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to
a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds
to pay the exercise price. The proceeds from payment of Option prices shall be
added to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for general
corporate purposes.

       7.7 Restrictions on Stock Transferability. The Committee shall impose
such restrictions on any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an
Option under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions under applicable Federal securities law, under the requirements of
any stock exchange upon which such shares of Stock are then listed and under any
blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such shares.

       7.8 Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement. In
the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of death,
Disability, or Retirement, any outstanding Options then exercisable may be
exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the Options or within
twelve (12) months after such date of termination of employment, whichever
period is the shorter, except in the case of Retirement, a three (3) year period
shall be substituted for the twelve (12) month period. However, in the case of
incentive stock options, the favorable tax treatment prescribed under Section
422A of the Code shall not be available if such options are not exercised within
three (3) months after the date of termination, or twelve (12) months in the
case of Disability. If an incentive stock option is not exercised within three
(3) months of termination due to Retirement, it shall be treated as a
nonstatutory stock option for the remainder of its allowable exercise period.

       7.9 Termination of Employment Other than for Death, Disability, or
Retirement. If the employment of the Participant shall terminate for any reason
other than death, Disability, Retirement, or involuntarily and for Cause, the
rights under any then outstanding Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall
terminate upon the expiration date of the Option or three months after such date
of termination of employment, whichever first occurs. Where termination of
employment is involuntary and for Cause, rights under all Options shall
terminate immediately upon termination of employment.

       7.10 Nontransferability of Options. No Option granted under the Plan may
be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated,
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all
Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his
lifetime only by such Participant.

       (e)    Each of the above in connection with previously awarded Options.

       8.2 Exercise of SARs in Lieu to Options. SARs granted in tandem with
Options may be exercised for all or part of the shares of Stock subject to the
related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise an equivalent number
of Options. The SAR may be exercised only with respect to the shares of Stock
for which its related Option is then exercisable. Option shares with respect to
which the SAR shall have been exercised may not be subject again to an Award
under this Plan.

       8.3 Exercise of SARs in Addition to Options. SARs granted in addition to
Options shall be deemed to be exercised upon the exercise of the related
Options. The deemed exercise of SARs granted in addition to Options shall not
necessitate a reduction in the number of related Options.

       8.4 Exercise of SARs Upon Lapse of Options. SARs granted upon the lapse
of Options shall be deemed to have been exercised upon the lapse of the related
Options as to the number of shares of Stock subject to the Options.

related SARs shall not be available again for Awards under the Plan.

       8.5 Exercise of SARs Independent of Options. SARs granted independent of
Options may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in
its sole discretion, imposes upon the SARs.

entitled to receive payment of an amount (subject to Section 8.8 below)
determined by multiplying:

       (a) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at
the date of exercise over the price fixed by the Committee at the date of grant,
by

       (b) The number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock
Appreciation Right is exercised.

       8.7 Form and Timing of Payment. At the discretion of the Committee,
payment for SARs may be made in cash or Stock, or in a combination thereof.

shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights

transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they
were paid.

Participant attains normal retirement age, the Period of Restriction applicable

respect to Performance Plan Awards and Performance Shares granted to a
Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by such
Participant.

Section 11. Beneficiary Designation

       11.1 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may name,
from time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named
contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid
in case of his death before he receives any or all of such benefit. Each
designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be
in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by
the Participant in writing with the Committee during his lifetime. In the
absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's
death shall be paid to his estate.

                         Section 12. Rights of Employees

       12.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any
way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any
time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the
Company.

       12.2 Participation. No employee shall have the right to be selected as a
Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.

       12.3 Other Benefit Plans. No Award granted under the Plan shall
constitute a part of the base salary or any other compensation of any Employee
under any other benefit plan unless expressly so provided in such other benefit
plan.

                          Section 13. Change in Control

       13.1 In General. In the event of a change in control of the Company as
defined in Section 13.2 below, all Awards under the Plan shall vest 100%. In the
case of Stock Options, this shall mean that all unvested options shall become
fully exercisable on the date that the change in control is determined to have
taken place. For Restricted

                                       11
<PAGE>

Stock, this vesting shall mean that all restrictions on the sale of Stock shall
lapse on the change in control date. For SARs, vesting shall mean that cash
payments will be made within 30 days following the date the change in control is
deemed to have taken place. For Performance Plan Awards and Performance Shares,
cash or Stock payments of Plan Awards shall be paid equal to the value of the
Awards as specified in the respective Plan documents on the change in control
date within 30 days following the date the change in control is deemed to have
taken place.

       13.2 Definition. For purposes of this Plan, a change in control shall
mean any of the following events:

       (a)    Any such organization, group or person ("Person") (as such term is
              used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
              1934, as amended) (the "Exchange Act"), is or becomes the
              beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
              Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
              representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the then
              outstanding securities of the Company; or

       (b)    During any two-year period, a majority of the members of the Board
              serving at the date of adoption of this Plan is replaced by
              directors who are not nominated and approved by the Board; or

       (c)    A majority of the members of the Board are represented by,
              appointed by or affiliated with any Person whom the Board has
              determined is seeking to effect a change in control of the
              Company; or

       (d)    The Company shall be combined with or acquired by another company
              and the Board shall have determined, either before such event or
              thereafter, by resolution, that a chance in control will or has
              occurred.

The Board has final authority to determine the exact date on which a change in
control has been deemed to have occurred under the conditions stated above.

          Section 14. Amendment, Modification, and Termination of Plan

       14.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination of Plan. The Board at any
time may terminate, and from time to time may amend or modify, the Plan,
provided, however, that no such action of the Board, without approval of the
shareholders, may:

       (a)    Increase the total amount of Stock which may be issued under the
              Plan, except as provided in Section 5.3 of the Plan; or

       (b)    Change the provisions of the Plan, regarding the Option price
              except as permitted by Section 5.3; or

                                       12
<PAGE>

       (c)    Materially increase the cost of the Plan or materially increase
              the benefits to Participants; or

       (d)    Extend the period during which Awards may be granted; or

       (e)    Extend the maximum period after the date of grant during which
              Options may be exercised.

No amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall in any manner
adversely affect any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, without the
consent of the Participant.

                           Section 15. Tax Withholding

       15.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or
require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy
Federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements on any Award under the
Plan. To the extent permissible under applicable tax, securities, and other
laws, the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit the Participant to satisfy
a tax withholding requirement by directing the Company to apply shares of Stock
to which the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of an Option or
the lapse of a Period of Restriction (including, for this purpose, the filing of
an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), to satisfy such requirement.

                           Section 16. Indemnification

       16.1 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of
the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from
any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be a party or in which he
may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan
and against and from any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with
the Company's approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of any judgment in any
such action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided he shall give the Company
an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he
undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to
which such persons may be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may
have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

                         Section 17. Requirements of Law

       17.1 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of
shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to all
applicable laws,

                                       13
<PAGE>

rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or
national securities exchanges as may be required.

       17.2 Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Idaho.

                         (As amended on October 9, 2001)

                        Article 1. Establishment of Plan

       1.1 Establishment and Name of Plan. Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (the
"Company") hereby adopts the Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation Non-Employee
Directors' Stock Option Plan, effective as of January 1, 1995.

       1.2 Purpose of Plan. The purpose of this Plan is to encourage
Non-Employee Directors of the Company to acquire the Stock of the Company
through an option program that makes service of the Board more attractive to
present and prospective Non-Employee Directors of the Company.

1974.

       1.3 Application of Plan. The terms of this Plan apply only to eligible
Directors of the Company on or after January 1, 1995. Any Director who does not

Plan.

       1.4 Approval by Shareholders. This Plan shall be submitted for

                            Article 3. Participation

       3.1 Eligibility. All Non-Employee Directors are eligible to participate
in the Plan.

       3.2 Participation. In order to become a Participant, a Non-Employee
Director shall make an irrevocable election before the end of a calendar year,
on a form provided by the Company, to receive all or a specified part, but not
less than $5,000 per annum of his regular Directors' Fees for the next year in
the form of Options. The number of Options available to the Participant is
determined by the formula set forth in section 5.1 In the case of a Director who
first becomes eligible during a calendar year, the election described above may
be made within 30 days of his becoming a Non-Employee Director (or within 30
days of Plan adoption, if applicable), and shall apply to regular Directors'
fees to be earned for the remainder of the calendar year.

                           Article 4. Available Stock

       4.1 Number. The total number of shares of Stock subject to options under
the Plan may not exceed 700,000 shares, subject to adjustment upon occurrence of
any of the events indicated in section 4.3. Such amount includes 200,000 shares
authorized by shareholders on May 9, 1995, and 500,000 shares authorized by
shareholders on October 9, 2001. The shares to be delivered under the Plan may
consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued Stock or treasury
stock, not reserved for any other purpose.

       4.2 Lapsed Option. If any Option granted under the Plan terminates,
expires, or lapses for any reason, any shares subject to such Option shall be
available again for the grant of another Option.

       4.3 Adjustment in Capitalization. In the event of any change in the
outstanding shares of Stock that occurs after ratification of the Plan by the
stockholders of the Company by reason of a Stock dividend, Stock split,
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
combination, exchange of shares, or other similar change, then the aggregate
number and class of shares or other securities that may be issued or transferred
pursuant to the Plan and the provisions, terms and conditions of each
outstanding Option affected thereby, shall be adjusted appropriately by the
Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.

       4.4 Duration. The Plan shall remain in effect until (a) all Stock subject
to Options has been purchased or acquired, (b) the Board terminates the Plan
pursuant to Article 7, or (c) January 1, 2005, whichever shall first occur.
Options which have not

                                       3
<PAGE>

lapsed or been exercised at the time the Plan terminates shall remain in effect
until they expire or are exercised as if the Plan had not terminated.

       4.5 Tax Reporting and Withholding. Participants are independent
contractors rather than employees of the Company, and it is intended that they
shall be responsible for all tax reporting and payments with respect to their
Options to the full extent required or permitted by law. Nevertheless, the
Company shall be entitled to take reasonable steps to comply with any federal,
state or local tax withholding or reporting required of it by law with respect
to Plan benefits. Prior to making or authorizing any payment under this Plan for
which the Company may have a liability in the event of noncompliance with any
tax or other legal requirement, the Company may require such documents from the
payee or any taxing or other government authority having jurisdiction over the
Company or the payee, or may require such indemnities or surety bond, as the
Company shall reasonably consider necessary for its protection.

                            Article 5. Stock Options

       5.1 Grant of Stock Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan,
Options shall be granted to Participants as set forth below. Options may be
granted only in lieu of Directors' Fees, with the total Value of Options granted
equalling the amount of such foregone Directors' Fees.

The formula for determining the number of Option shares granted to a Participant
in any year is:

  Directors' Fees which Participants elects
        to forego for such year                   =       Number of Shares
        -----------------------
           Value of an Option

The number of Option shares which are granted to each Participant shall be in
the discretion of the Participant, based on the amount of Directors' Fees which
the Participant elects to forego and the Value of an Option established by an
independent appraiser. The grant date shall be the third business day of each
calendar year or, in the case of a newly elected or appointed Non-Employee
Director, the 30th day following the date that such person becomes a
Non-Employee Director.

       5.2 Price of Stock Options. The exercise price of an Option shall equal
the full Fair Market Value of Stock as of the date of grant.

       5.3 Option Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option
agreement that specifies the Option price, the number of shares of Stock to
which the Option pertains, the duration of the Option, and such other provisions
as the Committee shall determine.

                                       4
<PAGE>

       5.4 Exercise of Options. Options shall be fully vested once granted and,
subject to Section 8.7, may be exercised at any time beginning six months
following the date of grant and ending 10 years following such date, at which
time they shall expire.

       5.5 Payment. The purchase price of Stock upon exercise of an Option shall
be paid (a) in cash, (b) in Stock valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise, (c) by requesting the Company to withhold from the number of shares of
Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option that number of shares of
Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
Option price for all of the shares of Stock subject to such exercise, or (d) by
a combination thereof, in the manner provided in the Option agreement.
Certificates for such shares tendered in payment shall be in a form for good
delivery. The Committee in its sole discretion may permit payment of the
purchase price upon exercise of any Option to be made by delivering a properly
executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly
deliver to the Company the amount of sale proceeds to pay the exercise price.
The proceeds from payment of Option prices shall be added to the general funds
of the Company and shall be used for general corporate purposes.

       5.6 Fee Suspension and Resignation. Payment of director's fees shall be
suspended, commencing with the first scheduled payment date coinciding with or
subsequent to the grant date, and continuing until the amount of fees foregone
by the participating Director equals the value of the Options granted.

       In the event a Director resigns or his service otherwise terminates prior
to suspension of fees equaling the full value of all Option grants, the
Director, at his election, shall either:

       1.     Return to the Company Options that have a value determined as of
              the grant date equal to the unpaid portion; or

       2.     Submit a cash payment to the Company equal to the unpaid portion.

       5.7 Non-transferability of Options. No Option granted under the Plan may
be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated, otherwise than
by will, testamentary disposition or by the laws of descent and distribution.
All Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during
his lifetime only by such Participant, except that if the Securities and
Exchange Commission modifies Rule 16b-3 or any successor thereto to allow
transfers for estate planning purposes, then transfers for that purpose shall be
allowed within limits to be established by the Board.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                            Article 6. Administration

       6.1 Administration by Board. Grants of Stock Options under the Plan and
the amount and nature of the awards to be granted shall be automatic as
described in Section 5.1. However, the Plan shall be administered by the Board,
and the Board shall have discretionary authority to construe and interpret all
provisions of the Plan, to adopt rules and practices concerning Plan
administration, to decide all claim for benefits, and to take all other
necessary or appropriate actions to carry out the purpose of the Plan. The Board
may delegate responsibility for matters of recordkeeping and other routine
administrative tasks with respect to the Plan. All interpretations,
constructions, determinations, and other actions of the Board shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties and shall be entitled to the maximum
deference permitted by law. The Plan shall be administered so as to comply with
the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

No Director shall vote on a Plan decision affecting his or her individual
interest under the Plan in a matter that is not applicable to Participants in
general.

                      Article 7. Amendment and Termination

       7.1 Plan Amendment or Termination. The Board of Directors of the Company
may suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect
whatsoever; provided, however, that provisions relating to the amount, timing
and pricing of Options may not be amended more than once in six months, other
than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder. Furthermore, without the
approval of shareholders, no revision or amendment shall change the number of
shares subject to the Plan (except as provided in section 4.3), change the
designation of the class of directors eligible to receive Options, or materially
increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan. The Board of
Directors has the authority to amend the Plan and Options granted thereunder to
comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. No amendment may alter or impair any rights or
obligations of any Option previously granted without the consent of the
Non-Employee Director.

                            Article 8. Miscellaneous

       8.1 Non-Alienation. Except as otherwise required by law, neither the
Company nor any participating Subsidiary shall make any award or permit
exercises under this Plan to any assignee or creditor of a Participant. Prior to
the time of an exercise under this Plan, a Participant shall have no rights by
way of anticipation or otherwise to assign or dispose of any interest under this
Plan, nor shall rights be assigned or transferred by operation of law or
otherwise, including but without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment,
attachment, pledge, lien, or bankruptcy.

       8.2 Records. The records of the Board with respect to the Plan shall be
conclusive on all participants, Beneficiaries, and other persons.

                                       6
<PAGE>

       8.3 Incompetency. Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the
Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until
the Board receives written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to it, that
such person is incompetent or a minor, and that a guardian, conservator,
statutory committee, or other person legally vested with the care of the person
or estate has been appointed; provided, however, that if the Board shall find
that any person to whom an Option is exercisable under the Plan is unable to
properly care for such person's own affairs because of incompetency, or is a
minor, then any exercise (unless a prior claim therefore shall have been made by
a duly appointed legal representative) may be made by the spouse, a child, a
parent, or a brother or sister, or to any person or institution deemed by the
Board to have incurred expenses for the Participant otherwise entitled to
exercise.

In the event a guardian of the estate of any person claiming benefits under the
Plan shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, exercise may be
made by such guardian provided that proper proof of appointment is furnished in
a form and manner acceptable to the Board. To the extent permitted by law, any
such exercises so made shall be a complete discharge of liability therefore
under the Plan.

       8.4 No Individual Liability. It is declared to be the express purpose and
intention of the Plan that no liability whatsoever shall attach to or be
incurred by any Directors or any stockholders or employees of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or any representatives appointed hereunder, by reason of any
term or condition of the Plan. The Company, through insurance or otherwise,
shall indemnify any Board member, corporate officer, or other individual against
any personal liability for actions taken or omitted in good faith in the
performance of duties on behalf of the Company under this Plan.

       8.5 Illegality of Particular Provision. If any particular provision of
this Plan shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall
not affect any other provision, but the Plan shall be construed in all respects
as if such invalid provision were omitted.

       8.6 Applicable Law. This instrument shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of Idaho to the extent not superseded by
the laws of the United States.

       8.7 Merger, Consolidation or Liquidation. At least 30 days prior written
notice of a merger, consolidation or liquidation of the Company shall be given
by the Company to the Optionee. Upon the occurrence of a merger, consolidation
or liquidation of the Company, the Option shall automatically terminate unless
the surviving or acquiring corporation shall assume the Option or substitute a
new option for it.
