exit this repeat loop

Hi,

Is there a more elegant way to exit this repeat loop? Less than two lines?

Looking for a way to exit a long "System Events" repeat loop in case of a problem.

repeat with index from 1 to the 10
	set optionDown to testOption() -- line 1
	if optionDown then return -- line 2
	beep
	delay 1
end repeat

on testOption()
	if (keys pressed) contains "option" then
		beep 2
		set optionDown to true
		return optionDown
	else
		set optionDown to false
	end if
end testOption

Tia,
