     The notice shall be signed by the person or persons exercising this Option, and in the event this Option is being exercised by the representative of the Optionee, it shall be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the Corporation of the right of the representative to exercise the Option.

The Corporation shall in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Option or the resulting delivery of shares of Common Stock or other payment to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.
     9. Shareholder Approval. The Plan was approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation at the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 16, 2006.
     10. No Right to Continued Employment or Services. This grant shall not confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment or other position by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate such employment or position at any time.
