Not able to use the Query Hint inside the IF Exists clause

Hi there,

For one my query i am not able to use the query hint plan inside the IF exists clause. For Example: 

 IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM Person.Person a
           INNER JOIN Person.BusinessEntity b ON a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
           OPTION (FORCE ORDER))
 BEGIN 
 PRINT 'Hello World!' 
 END

The above can't be parsed, whereas query mentioned below works:

SELECT 1 FROM Person.Person a
           INNER JOIN Person.BusinessEntity b ON a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
           OPTION (FORCE ORDER))

Can you please let me know how to specify the query hint inside the if exists clause.

Regards
