the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (such service or employment being
hereinafter referred to as "Service") on the applicable Vesting Date. Please

VESTING: The Shares will vest in two equal installments of 12,500 shares each on
January 1 in each of the years 2003 and 2004 or, if earlier, upon a Change of
Control of the Company (the "Vesting Dates"), subject, however, to the
forfeiture provisions set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may
elect, by filing a written election with the Company prior to the date of a
Change of Control, to waive all or a portion of your rights to vest in this
award by reason of the Change of Control. If your Service terminates because of
your death or Disability, then all the Shares issuable under this award will
vest upon termination of your Service. Notwithstanding the provisions of the
Plan, no unvested Shares will vest by virtue of your Retirement. On each Vesting
Date (or promptly thereafter), the Company will deliver to you a certificate
representing the Shares which have vested on such date.
NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER PRIOR TO VESTING: Prior to any Vesting Date, you will
have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares to be
issued on or after that Vesting Date.
FORFEITURE OF SHARES: In the event of the termination of your Service for any
reason (other than as a result of death or Disability), then all unvested Shares
will be forfeited as of the date of termination of your Service, and any rights
to such forfeited Shares will immediately cease.
BUY OUT: On any Vesting Date, the Company will have the right, in its sole
discretion and without your consent, to elect to pay you the Fair Market Value
of the Shares vesting on such Vesting Date in lieu of issuing you a certificate
for such Shares. The Company's determination on any Vesting Date to issue Shares
or to pay the Fair Market Value of Shares shall in no way affect the Company's
right to elect to issue Shares or to pay the Fair Market Value of the Shares on
any other Vesting Date.
