exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee and shall be legended
as set forth in the Plan or as required under applicable regulatory, state or
federal law.
(c) FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTION. This
Option shall not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law
or laws or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the
Company may require the Optionee to make any representation, warranty or
certification to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or
regulation or by the Plan. There shall be no exercise of any fractional shares
concerning the Option.
(d) ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE OF CAPITALIZATION. Appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the number, exercise price and class of shares of
stock subject to the Option in the event of a stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like
change in the capital structure of the Company.
5. TERMINATION OF STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE. If the Optionee ceases
to serve as an Employee for any reason other than death or for Cause (as defined
in the Plan) and thereby terminates his status as an Employee, the Optionee
shall have the right to exercise this Option at any time within one hundred and
eighty (180) days following the date of such termination, to the extent that the
Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination,
but in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in
Section 2 hereof.
If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee due to death, this
Option may be exercised at any time within one hundred and eighty (180) days
following the date of death by the Optionee's executor or administrator or the
person or persons who shall have acquired the Option by bequest or inheritance
but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this option at the
date of death. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of termination or death, or to the extent the Option is not
exercised within the time specified herein, this Option shall terminate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Option shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 hereof. If the Optionee ceases to
serve as an Employee due to termination of his employment by the Company for
Cause (as defined in the Plan), this Option shall cease to be exercisable ten
(10) days following the date the notice of such termination is delivered to the
Optionee.
6. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION. This Option may not be
sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, gifted, transferred or disposed of in any
manner either voluntarily or involuntarily by operation of law, other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and may be exercised during the
lifetime of the Optionee only by such Optionee. Subject to the foregoing and the
terms of the Plan, the terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

7. CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Neither this Plan nor any Option
granted hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the
employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or limit in any respect the
right of the Company to discharge the Optionee at any time, with or without
cause and with or without notice.
8. WITHHOLDING TAX LIABILITY. The Optionee understands and agrees
that the Company may be required to withhold part or all of the Optionee's
regular compensation to pay any taxes required to be withheld under federal,
state, or local law as a result of the exercise of this Option, and that if such
regular compensation is insufficient, the Company may require the Optionee, as a
condition of exercise of this Option, to pay in cash the amount of such
withholding tax liability.
9. THE PLAN. This Option is subject to, and the Company and the
Optionee expressly agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the
Plan as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof, provided that no such amendment shall deprive the Optionee, without his
written consent, of this Option or any rights hereunder. Pursuant to the Plan,
the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to administer
the Plan is authorized to adopt rules and regulations not materially
inconsistent with the Plan as it shall deem appropriate and proper. If questions
arise as to the intent, meaning or application of the provisions of this Option
Agreement or of the Plan, such questions shall be decided by Committee in its
sole discretion, and any such decision shall be conclusive and binding on the
Optionee. A copy of the Plan in its present form is available for inspection
during regular business hours by the Optionee or the persons entitled to
exercise this Option at the Company's principal office.
