Price"). The Total Purchase Price shall be paid in cash at the time of purchase.
II. Repurchase Option.
-----------------
(1) Upon termination of your employment for any reason,
other than death and permanent and total disability (with such permanent and

such termination), the Company shall have the right and option to purchase from
you or any holder of the Shares as permitted under Section III(5) (a "Holder")
any or all of the Shares at the per Share purchase price paid by you for such
Shares (the "Repurchase Option").
(2) The Company may exercise the Repurchase Option by
delivering personally or by registered mail, to you or a Holder within ninety
(90) days of the date of termination of your employment, a notice in writing
indicating the Company's intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and setting
forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of
such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company's office. At the
closing, the Secretary of the Company or other escrow agent as provided in
Section VI shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing the
Shares to the Company, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price
therefor.
(3) At its option, the Company may elect to make payment
for the Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself
of this option by a notice in writing to you or a Holder stating the name and
address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company's
office.
(4) If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase
Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice to you or a Holder within
ninety (90) days following the date of termination of your employment, the
Repurchase Option shall terminate, and any restrictions on Shares remaining as
of the date of the termination of your employment shall lapse immediately.
