7.Registration of Shares. The Company intends to register the shares ("Shares") subject to the Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933.

If the Company shall be a party to a merger or consolidation or shall sell substantially all its assets, each outstanding Option shall pertain and apply to the securities and/or property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or sale of assets would be entitled to receive in such merger, consolidation or sale of assets.
9.Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its offices at 333 Bayview Avenue, Amityville, New York 11701, Attention: Treasurer. Such notice shall state that the Option is being exercised thereby and the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which it is being exercised. It shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price for such shares of Common Stock as provided in Paragraph 2. The Company shall advise the Company’s transfer
agent to issue, in the name of the person or persons exercising the Option, a certificate or certificates representing such shares as soon as practicable after the notice and payment shall be received.
The Optionee shall have no rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the exercise of the Option until a certificate or certificates representing such shares are issued to him. All shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
10.General. The Company shall at all times during the terms of the Option reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, shall pay all original issue taxes, if any, with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith, and shall, from time to time, use its best efforts to comply with all laws and regulations which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto.

12.Notices. Each notice relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the address as hereinafter provided. Each notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date it is received. Each notice to the Company shall be addressed to it at its offices at 333 Bayview Avenue, Amityville, New York 11701 (Attention: Treasurer). Each notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to the Optionee at the Optionee's last known address.
13.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions herein, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.

In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.
14.Continuance of Employment. The granting of the Option is in consideration of the Optionee's continuing employment by the Company or any subsidiary; provided, however, nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or affect the right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time in the sole discretion of the Company’s or any subsidiary, with or without cause.
15.Interpretation. The interpretation and construction of any terms or conditions of the Plan, or of this Agreement or other matters related to the Plan by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors shall be final and conclusive.
