Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one

other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) in the form of shares of
Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan and that

delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or
a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price,
provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price
as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures
and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the
Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv)
a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Payment instruments will be received
subject to collection.
The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be
contingent upon the Company's receipt from the Optionee of full payment for the
Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence
that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be
purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and any subsequent
resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.
(b) Certificates for shares of Stock purchased upon exercise
of this Stock Option shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon
compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under
applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the
requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as
to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee
shall not be deemed to be the holder of the shares subject to this Stock Option,
or to have any of the rights of a holder, unless and until this Stock Option
shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have
issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee's name shall
have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company.
Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership

(12) months from the date of death or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
(b) OTHER TERMINATION. If the Optionee ceases to be a Director
for any reason other than Cause or death, any Stock Option held by the Optionee
may be exercised for a period of three (3) months from the date of termination
or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.

contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms
