                                Dated:  _______, 1996.


         THIS CERTIFIES THAT______________ (herein sometimes called the
"Holder") is entitled to purchase from Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), at the prices and
during the periods as hereinafter specified, up to _______ (_______) Units
("Units"), each Unit consisting of one share of the Company's Class A Common
Stock, $.0001 par value, as now constituted ("Class A Common Stock"), one
Class A warrant ("Class A Warrants") and one Class B warrant ("Class B
Warrants").  Each Class A Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class
A Common Stock and one Class B Warrant at an exercise price of $6.50 from
_______, 1996 to _______ , 2001, and each Class B Warrant is exercisable to
purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.75 until
_______, 2001.  The Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants are herein
collectively referred to as the "Warrants."

         The Units have been registered under a Registration Statement on
Form SB-2, (File No. 33-_______ ) declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on _______ (the "Registration Statement").  This Option,
together with options of like tenor, constituting in the aggregate options (the
"Options") to purchase 500,000 Units, subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 8 of this Option (the "Option Units"), was originally issued pursuant to
an underwriting agreement between the Company and D.H. Blair Investment Banking
Corp., as underwriter (the "Underwriter") in connection with a public offering
(the "Offering") of 5,000,000 Units (the "Public Units") through the
Underwriter, in consideration of $_______ received for the Options.

         Except as specifically otherwise provided herein, the Class A Common
Stock and the Warrants issued pursuant to the option herein granted (the
"Option") shall bear the same terms and conditions as described under the
caption "Description of Securities" in the Registration Statement, and the
Warrants shall be governed by the terms of the Warrant Agreement dated as of
_______, 1996 executed in connection with such public offering (the "Warrant
Agreement"), and except that (i) the holder shall have registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for the Option, the Class A
Common Stock and the Warrants included in the Option Units, and the shares of
Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants, as more fully described in
Section 6 of this Option and (ii) the Warrants issuable upon exercise of the
Option will be subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to the Warrant
Agreement at any time after the Option has been exercised and the Warrants
underlying the Option Units are outstanding.  Any such redemption shall be on
the same terms and




conditions as the Warrants included in the Public Units (the "Public Warrants").
The Company will list the Class A Common Stock underlying this Option and, at
the Holder's request the Warrants, on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market or such other exchange or market as the Class A Common Stock or
Public Warrants may then be listed or quoted.  In the event of any extension of
the expiration date or reduction of the exercise price of the Public Warrants,
the same changes to the Warrants included in the Option Units shall be
simultaneously effected.

         1.   The rights represented by this Option shall be exercised at the
prices, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 of this Option ("the
"Exercise Price"), and during the periods as follows:

                   (a)  During the period from _______, 1996 to _______, 1998
              inclusive, the Holder shall have no right to purchase any Option
              Units hereunder, except that in the event of any merger,
              consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the capital
              stock or assets of the Company or in the case of any statutory
              exchange of securities with another corporation (including any
              exchange effected in connection with a merger of another
              corporation into the Company) subsequent to _______, the Holder
              shall have the right to exercise this Option and the Warrants
              included herein at such time and receive the kind and amount of
              shares of stock and other securities and property (including
              cash) which a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common
              Stock underlying this Option and the Warrants included in this
              Option would have owned or been entitled to receive had this
              Option been exercised immediately prior thereto.

                   (b)  Between _______, 1998 and _______,2001 inclusive, the
              Holder shall have the option to purchase Option Units hereunder
              at a price of $_______ per Unit.  For purposes of the adjustments
              under Section 8 hereof, the Per Share Exercise Price shall be
              deemed to be $_______, subject to further adjustment as provided
              in such Section 8.

                   (c)  After _________, 2001 the Holder shall have no right to
              purchase any Units hereunder.

         2.   (a)  The rights represented by this Option may be exercised at
any time within the period above specified, in whole or in part, by (i) the
surrender of this Option (with the purchase form at the end hereof properly
executed) at the principal executive office of the Company (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder
at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company); and
(ii) payment to the Company of the exercise price then in effect for the number
of Option Units specified in the above-mentioned purchase form together with
applicable stock transfer taxes, if any.  This Option shall be deemed to have
been exercised, in whole or in part to the extent specified, immediately prior
to the close of business on the date this Option is surrendered and


                                         -2-



payment is made in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2,
and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for shares of
Class A Common Stock and Warrants shall be issuable upon such exercise shall
become the holder or holders of record of such Class A Common Stock and Warrants
at that time and date.  The certificates for the Class A Common Stock and
Warrants so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder as soon as practicable
but not later than ten (10) days after the rights represented by this Option
shall have been so exercised.

              (b)  At any time during the period above specified, during which
this Option may be exercised, the Holder may, at its option, exchange this
Option, in whole or in part (an "Option Exchange"), into the number of Option
Units determined in accordance with this Section (b), by surrendering this
Option at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock
transfer agent, accompanied by a notice stating such Holder's intent to effect
such exchange, the number of Option Units into which this Option is to be
exchanged and the date on which the Holder requests that such Option Exchange
occur (the "Notice of Exchange").  The Option Exchange shall take place on the
date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of
Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange Date").  Certificates for the
shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants issuable upon such Option Exchange
and, if applicable, a new Option of like tenor evidencing the balance of the
Option Units remaining subject to this Option, shall be issued as of the
Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder within seven (7) days following the
Exchange Date.  In connection with any Option Exchange, this Option shall
represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the number of Option Units
(rounded to the next highest integer) equal to (x) the number of Option Units
specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange up to the maximum number of
Option Units subject to this option (the "Total Number") less (y) the number of
Option Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the
Total Number and the existing Exercise Price by (B) the Fair Market Value.
"Fair Market Value" shall mean first, if there is a trading market as indicated
in Subsection (i) below for the Units, such Fair Market Value of the Units and
if there is no such trading market in the Units, then Fair Market Value shall
have the meaning indicated in Subsections (ii) through (v) below for the
aggregate value of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants which
comprise a Unit:

              (i)    If the Units are listed on a national securities exchange
         or listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange
         or listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq
         SmallCap Market, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the
         last reported sale prices or the average of the means of the last
         reported bid and asked prices, respectively, of the Units on such
         exchange or market for the twenty (20) business days ending on the
         last business day prior to the Exchange Date; or

              (ii)   If the Class A Common Stock or Warrants are listed on a
         national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading
         privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq
         National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Fair Market Value
         shall be the average of the last reported sale prices or the


                                         -3-



         average of the means of the last reported bid and asked prices,
         respectively, of Class A Common Stock or Warrants, respectively, on
         such exchange or market for the twenty (20) business days ending on
         the last business day prior to the Exchange Date; or

              (iii)  If the Class A Common Stock or Warrants are not so listed
         or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the Fair Market Value
         shall be the average of the means of the last reported bid and asked
         prices of the Class A Common Stock or Warrants, respectively, for the
         twenty (20) business days ending on the last business day prior to the
         Exchange Date; or

              (iv)   If the Class A Common Stock is not so listed or admitted
         to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so
         reported, the Fair Market Value shall be an amount, not less than book
         value thereof as at the end of the most recent fiscal year of the
         Company ending prior to the Exchange Date, determined in such
         reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of
         the Company; or

              (v)    If the Warrants are not so listed or admitted to unlisted
         trading privileges, and bid and asked prices are not so reported for
         Warrants, then Fair Market Value for the Warrants shall be an amount
         equal to the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value of the
         shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants which may be received upon
         the exercise of the Warrants, as determined herein, and (ii) the
         Warrant Exercise Price.

         3.   Neither this Option nor the underlying securities shall be
transferred, sold, assigned, or hypothecated for a period of two years
commencing on the effective date of the Registraton Statement except that they
may be transferred to successors of the Holder, and may be assigned in whole or
in part to any person who is an officer of the Holder, any member participating
in the selling group relating to the Offering or any officer of such selling
group member.  Any such assignment shall be effected by the Holder (i) executing
the form of assignment at the end hereof and (ii) surrendering this Option for
cancellation at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 2
hereof, accompanied by a certificate (signed by an officer of the Holder if the
Holder is a corporation), stating that each transferee is a permitted transferee
under this Section 3 hereof; whereupon the Company shall issue, in the name or
names specified by the Holder (including the Holder) a new Option or Options of
like tenor and representing in the aggregate rights to purchase the same number
of Option Units as are purchasable hereunder.

         4.   The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Class A
Common Stock which may be issued as part of the Option Units purchased hereunder
and the Class A Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants
will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and no personal liability will attach to the holder thereof.  The Company
further covenants and agrees that during the periods within which this


                                         -4-



Option may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Class A Common Stock to provide
for the exercise of this Option and that it will have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance upon exercise
of the Warrants included in the Option Units.

         5.   This Option shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or
any other rights, or subject to the Holder to any liabilities, as a stockholder
of the Company.

         6.   (a)  The Company shall advise the Holder or its transferee,
whether the Holder holds the Option or has exercised the Option and holds Option
Units or any of the securities underlying the Option Units, by written notice at
least four weeks prior to the filing of any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or of any new registration statement or post-effective
amendment thereto under the Act covering any securities of the Company, for its
own account or for the account of others, and will for a period of seven years
from the effective date of the Registration Statement, upon the request of the
Holder, include in any such post-effective amendment or registration statement,
such information as may be required to permit a public offering of the Option,
all or any of the Option Units, the Class A Common Stock or Warrants included in
the Option Units or the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants (the "Registrable Securities").

              (b)  If D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp., D.H. Blair & Co.,
Inc. or J. Morton Davis (each, a "Majority Holder") shall give notice to the
Company at any time to the effect that such holder desires to register under the
Act this Option, the Option Units or any of the underlying securities contained
in the Option Units under such circumstances that a public distribution (within
the meaning of the Act) of any such securities will be involved then the Company
will promptly, but no later than two weeks after receipt of such notice, file a
post-effective amendment to the current Registration Statement or a new
registration statement on Form S-1 or such other form as the holder requests
pursuant to the Act, to the end that the Option, the Option Units and/or any of
the securities underlying the Option Units may be publicly sold under the Act as
promptly as practicable thereafter and the Company will use its best efforts to
cause such registration to become and remain effective (including the taking of
such steps as are necessary to obtain the removal of any stop order); provided,
that such holder shall furnish the Company with appropriate information in
connection therewith as the Company may reasonably request in writing.  A
Majority Holder may, at its option, request the filing of a post-effective
amendment to the current Registration Statement or a new registration statement
under the Act on one occasion during the four year period beginning one year
from the effective date of the Registration Statement.  The Holder may, at its
option request the registration of the Option and/or any of the securities
underlying the Option in a registration statement made by the Company as
contemplated by Section 6(a) or in connection with a request made pursuant to
this Section 6(b) prior to acquisition of the Option Units issuable upon
exercise of the Option and even though the Holder has not given notice of
exercise of the Option.  A Majority Holder may, at its option, request such
post-effective amendment or new registration statement during the described
period with respect to the Option, the Option Units as a unit, or separately as
to the Class A Common Stock and/or Warrants included in the Option Units and/or
the Class A


                                         -5-



Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and such registration
rights may be exercised by a Majority Holder prior to or subsequent to the
exercise of the Option.

         Within ten days after receiving any such notice pursuant to this
Section 6(b), the Company shall give notice to the other holders of the Options,
advising that the Company is proceeding with such post-effective amendment or
registration statement and offering to include therein the securities underlying
the Options of the other holders, provided that they shall furnish the Company
with such appropriate information (relating to the intentions of such holders)
in connection therewith as the Company shall reasonably request in writing.  In
the event the registration statement is not filed within the period specified
herein and in the event the registration statement is not declared effective
under the Act prior to ________, 2001, then, at the holders' request, the
Company shall purchase the Options from the holder for a per option price equal
to the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value of the Class A Common Stock
on the date of notice multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Option and the underlying Warrants and (ii) the
average per share purchase price of the Option and each share of Class A Common
Stock underlying the Option.  All costs and expenses of the first such
post-effective amendment or new registration statement under this paragraph 6(b)
shall be borne by the Company, except that the holders shall bear the fees of
their own counsel and any underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to
any of the securities sold by them.  If the Company determines to include
securities to be sold by it in any registration statement originally requested
pursuant to this Section 6(b), such registration shall instead be deemed to have
been a registration under Section 6(a) and not under this Section 6(b).

         The Company will maintain such registration statement or
post-effective amendment current under the Act for a period of at least six
months (and for up to an additional three months if requested by the Holder)
from the effective date thereof.

              (c)  Whenever pursuant to Section 6 a registration statement
relating to any Registrable Securities is filed under the Act, amended or
supplemented, the Company shall (i) supply prospectuses and such other documents
as the Holder may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of the Registrable Securities, (ii) use its best efforts to register
and qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as such
Holder designates, (iii) furnish indemnification in the manner provided in
Section 7 hereof, (iv) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time
when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, contains
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading and, at the request of any such Holder, prepare and furnish to such
Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such
prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not included an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
(v) do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or desirable to
enable such Holders to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the


                                         -6-



Registrable Securities, The Holder shall furnish appropriate information in
connection therewith and indemnification as set forth in Section 7.

              (d)  The Company shall not permit the inclusion of any securities
other than the Registrable Securities to be included in any registration
statement filed pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof without the prior written
consent of a Majority Holder.

              (e)  The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in
the offering and to each underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to
such Holder or underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated
the effective date of such registration statement (or, if such registration
includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the
closing under the underwriting agreement), and (ii) if such registration
includes an underwritten public offering, a "cold comfort" letter dated the
effective date of such registration statement and dated the date of the closing
under the underwriting agreement signed by the independent public accountants
who have issued a report on the Company's financial statements included in such
registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters
with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included
therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events
subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered
in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.

              (f)  The Company shall deliver promptly to each Holder
participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda
described below and to the managing underwriter copies of all correspondence
between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all
memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect
to the registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriter to do such
investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonable
necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  ("NASD").  Such investigation shall
include access to non-confidential books, records and properties and
opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and
independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times
as any such Holder shall reasonably request.

         7.   (a)  Whenever pursuant to Section 6 a registration statement
relating to the Registrable Securities is filed under the Act, amended or
supplemented, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each holder of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, amendment or
supplement (such holder being hereinafter called the "Distributing Holder"), and
each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) the
Distributing Holder, and each underwriter (within the meaning of the Act) of
such securities and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the
Act) any such underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which the Distributing Holder, any such controlling person
or any such underwriter may become subject, under the Act or


                                         -7-



otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such registration
statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part
thereof or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse
the Distributing Holder and each such controlling person and underwriter for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Distributing Holder or such
controlling person or underwriter in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said
registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or
said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Distributing Holder specifically for use in the
preparation thereof.

              (b)  If requested by the Company prior to the filing of any
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities, each Distributing
Holder will agree, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company
may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in said registration statement,
said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus, or said amendment or
supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in said registration
statement, said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment
or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Distributing Holder specifically for use in the preparation
thereof; except that the maximum amount which may be recovered from the
Distributing Holder pursuant to this Section 7 or otherwise shall be limited to
the amount of net proceeds received by the Distributing Holder from the sale of
the Registrable Securities.

              (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 7.

              (d)  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that
it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably


                                         -8-



satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation.

         (8)  In addition to the provisions of Section 1(a) of this Option, the
Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of the Options shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

              (a)  In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
         distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of
         Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of
         Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or
         reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
         number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the
         record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date
         of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted
         so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
         Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the
         number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to
         such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
         of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action.  Such
         adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above
         shall occur.

              (b)  Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
         Option is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (a) above, (i) the number of
         shares of Class A Common Stock included in an Option Unit shall
         simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of
         Class A Common Stock included in Option Unit immediately prior to such
         adjustment by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
         adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price,
         as adjusted and (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or
         other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in
         the Option Units and the exercise price of such Warrants shall be
         adjusted in accordance with the applicable terms of the Warrant
         Agreement.

              (c)  Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided,
         the Company shall promptly but no later than 10 days after any request
         for such an adjustment by the Holder, cause a notice setting forth the
         adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Option Units issuable
         upon exercise of each Option and, if requested, information describing
         the transactions giving rise to such adjustments, to be mailed to the
         Holders, at the address set forth herein, and shall cause a certified
         copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any.  The Company
         may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected


                                         -9-



         by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed
         by the Company) to make any computation required by this Section 8,
         and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of
         the correctness of such adjustment.

              (d)  In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment
         made pursuant to Subsection (a) above, the Holder of this Option
         thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company,
         other than Class A Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other
         shares so receivable upon exercise of this Option shall be subject to
         adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
         equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Class
         A Common Stock contained in Subsections (a) to (c), inclusive above.

              (e)  In case any event shall occur as to which the other
         provisions of this Section 8 or Section 1(a) hereof are not strictly
         applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment would
         not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Option in
         accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof then, in
         each such case, the Holders of Options representing the right to
         purchase a majority of the Option Units may appoint a firm of
         independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to the Company,
         which shall give their opinion as to the adjustment, if any, on a
         basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established
         herein, necessary to preserve the purchase rights represented by the
         Options.  Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail
         a copy thereof to the Holder of this Option and shall make the
         adjustments described therein.  The fees and expenses of such
         independent public accountants shall be borne by the Company.

         9.   This Agreement shall be governed by and in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof.
