NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants
herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the
Employee hereby agree as follows:
1. Confirmation of Grant of Option. Pursuant to a determination by the
Committee, the Company, subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement,
hereby grants to the Employee as a matter of separate inducement and agreement,
and in addition to and not in lieu of salary or other compensation for services,
the right to purchase (hereinafter referred to as the "Option") an aggregate of
[NUMBER] shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan
(such shares, as adjusted, hereinafter being referred to as the "Shares"). The
Option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock covered by
the Option will be [$____] per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the
Plan.
3. Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercisable on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth:
(a) The Option shall become exercisable cumulatively as to the
following amounts of the number of Shares originally subject thereto (after
giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to the Plan), on the dates
indicated:
(i) as to [_________] Shares on or after [_________];
(ii) as to [_________] Shares on or after [_________];
(iii) as to [_________] Shares on or after [_________];
(iv) as to [_________] Shares on or after [_________]; and
(v) as to [_________] Shares on or after [_________].
(b) The Option may be exercised pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3, by notice and payment to the Company as provided in Sections 9
and 14 hereof.
4. Term of Option. The term of the Option shall be a period of [NUMBER]
years from the Date of Grant, subject to earlier termination or cancellation as
provided in this Agreement. This Option, to the extent unexercised, shall expire
on the day immediately prior to the [___TH] anniversary of the Date of Grant.
The holder of the Option [SHALL] [SHALL NOT] have [ANY] rights to dividends
[AND] [OR ANY] other rights of a stockholder with respect to any shares of
Common Stock subject to the Option until such shares shall have been issued to
him (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company) provided that the date of issuance
shall not be earlier than the date this Option is exercised and payment of the
full purchase price of the shares of Common Stock (with respect to which this
Option is exercised) is made to the Company.
5. Non-transferability of Option. The Option shall not be assigned,
transferred or otherwise disposed of, or pledged or hypothecated in any way, and
shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process, except as may be
provided in the Plan. Any assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Option attempted contrary to the provisions of the Plan, or
any levy of execution, attachment or other process attempted upon the Option,
will be null and void and without effect. Any attempt to make any such
assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option
will cause the Option to terminate immediately upon the happening of any such
event; provided, however, that any such termination of the Option under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5 will not prejudice any rights or remedies
which the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary may have under this Agreement or
otherwise.
6. Exercise Upon Cessation of Employment. (a) If the Employee at any time
ceases to be an employee of the Company and of any Parent or Subsidiary [(I)] by
reason of his discharge for Good Cause [OR (II) DUE TO HIS VOLUNTARY TERMINATION
OF EMPLOYMENT WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMMITTEE], the Option shall,
at the time of such termination of employment, terminate and the Employee shall
forfeit all rights hereunder. If, however, the Employee for any other reason
(other than Disability or death) ceases to be such an Employee, the Option may,
subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, be exercised by the Employee to
the same extent the Employee would have been entitled under Section 3 hereof to
exercise the Option immediately prior to such cessation of employment, at any
time within [________DAYS/MONTHS/YEARS] after such cessation of employment, at
the end of which period the Option, to the extent not then exercised, shall
terminate and the Employee shall forfeit all rights hereunder, even if the
Employee subsequently returns to the employ of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised after the
expiration of the term provided in Section 4 hereof.
(b) The Option shall not be affected by any change of duties or
position of the Employee so long as he continues to be an [A FULL-TIME]
employee of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary thereof. If the
Employee is granted a temporary leave of absence, such leave of absence
shall be deemed a continuation of his employment by the Company or of any
Parent or Subsidiary thereof for the purposes of this Agreement, but only
if and so long as the employing corporation consents thereto.
7. Exercise Upon Death or Disability. (a) If the Employee dies
while he is employed by the Company or by any Parent or Subsidiary, [AND ON OR
AFTER THE FIRST DATE UPON WHICH HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENTITLED TO EXERCISE THE
OPTION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3 HEREOF], the Option may, subject to the
provisions of Section 5 hereof, be exercised [WITH RESPECT TO ALL OR ANY PART OF
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AS TO WHICH THE DECEASED EMPLOYEE HAD NOT EXERCISED
THE OPTION AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE OPTION WAS FULLY
EXERCISABLE AT SUCH TIME)] [(TO THE SAME EXTENT THE EMPLOYEE WOULD HAVE BEEN
ENTITLED UNDER SECTION 3 HEREOF TO EXERCISE THE OPTION IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO HIS
DEATH)], by the estate of the Employee (or by the person or persons who acquire
the right to exercise the Option by written designation of the Employee) at any
time within [________ DAYS/MONTHS/YEARS] after the death of the Employee, at the
end of which period the Option, to the extent not then exercised, shall
terminate and the estate or other beneficiaries shall forfeit all rights
hereunder. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised after the
expiration of the term provided in Section 4 hereof.
(b) In the event that the employment of the Employee by the Company
and any Parent or Subsidiary is terminated by reason of the Disability of
the Employee [AND ON OR AFTER THE FIRST DATE UPON WHICH HE WOULD HAVE BEEN
ENTITLED TO EXERCISE THE OPTION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3 HEREOF],
the Option may, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, be exercised
[WITH RESPECT TO ALL OR ANY PART OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AS TO WHICH
HE HAD NOT EXERCISED THE OPTION AT THE TIME OF HIS DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT
(REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE OPTION WAS FULLY EXERCISABLE AT SUCH TIME)] [(TO
THE SAME EXTENT THE EMPLOYEE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENTITLED UNDER SECTION 3
HEREOF TO EXERCISE THE OPTION IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO HIS EMPLOYMENT
TERMINATION DUE TO DISABILITY)] by the Employee within the period ending
[________ DAYS/MONTHS/YEARS] after the date of such termination of
employment, at the end of which period the Option, to the extent not then
exercised, shall terminate and the Employee shall forfeit all rights
hereunder even if the Employee subsequently returns to the employ of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. In no event, however, may the Option
be exercised after the expiration of the term provided in Section 4 hereof.
8. Registration. At the time of issuance, the shares of Common Stock
subject hereto and issuable upon the exercise hereof may not be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, if required upon the request of

(iv) include payment of the full purchase price for the shares of

Company's executive office in [CITY/STATE] then such written Notice

day prior to such date of expiration.
(b) Payment of the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock, in
respect of which the Option shall be exercised, shall be made by the
Employee or such person or persons at the place specified by the Company on
the date the Notice is received by the Company (i) by delivering to the
Company a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the
Company or (ii) if consented to by the Company in writing, (A) by
delivering to the Company properly endorsed certificates of shares of
Common Stock (or certificates accompanied by an appropriate stock power)

combination of the foregoing. [FOR PURPOSES OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
SENTENCE, AN EXERCISE EFFECTED BY THE TENDER OF COMMON STOCK (OR DEEMED TO
BE EFFECTED BY THE TENDER OF COMMON STOCK) MAY BE CONSUMMATED WITH COMMON
STOCK HELD BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR SIX (6) MONTHS OR ACQUIRED BY THE EMPLOYEE
OTHER THAN UNDER THE PLAN (OR A SIMILAR PLAN MAINTAINED BY THE COMPANY).]
(c) The Option shall be deemed to have been exercised with respect to
any particular shares of Common Stock if, and only if, the preceding
provisions of this Section 9 and the provisions of Section 10 hereof shall
have been complied with, in which event the Option shall be deemed to have
been exercised on the date the Notice and related payment were received by
the Company. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
any Notice given pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 shall be void
and of no effect if all of the preceding provisions of this Section 9 and
the provisions of Section 10 shall not have been complied with.
(d) The certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock as to
which the Option shall be exercised will be registered in the name of the
Employee (or in the name of the Employee's estate or other beneficiary if
the Option is exercised after the Employee's death), or if the Option is
exercised by the Employee and if the Employee so requests in the notice
exercising the Option, will be registered in the name of the Employee and
another person jointly, with right of survivorship and will be delivered as
soon as practical after the date the Notice is received by the Company
(accompanied by full payment of the exercise price), but only upon
compliance with all of the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) If the Employee fails to accept delivery of and pay for all or any
part of the number of Shares specified in such Notice, his right to
exercise the Option with respect to such undelivered Shares may be
terminated in the sole discretion of the Committee. The Option may be
exercised only with respect to full Shares.
(f) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate or certificates for shares of its Common Stock purchased upon
the exercise of any part of the Option prior to the payment to the Company,
upon its demand, of any amount requested by the Company for the purpose of
satisfying its liability, if any, to withhold federal, state or local
income or earnings tax or any other applicable tax or assessment (plus
interest or penalties thereon, if any, caused by a delay in making such
payment) incurred by reason of the exercise of this Option or the transfer
of shares thereupon. Such payment shall be made by the Employee in cash or,
with the written consent of the Company, by tendering to the Company shares
of Common Stock equal in value to the amount of the required withholding.
In the alternative, the Company may, at its option, satisfy such
withholding requirements by withholding from the shares of Common Stock to
be delivered to the Employee pursuant to an exercise of the Option a number
of shares of Common Stock equal in value to the amount of the required
withholding.

RELOAD OPTIONS, THE EMPLOYEE SHALL BE AWARDED SUCH RELOAD OPTIONS PROVIDING
FOR (I) THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
THEREUNDER, (II) THE EXERCISE PRICE AND (III) THE TERM OF SUCH RELOAD
OPTIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE PLAN. THE OTHER CONDITIONS RELATED TO THE
EXERCISE OF SUCH RELOAD OPTIONS SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH HEREUNDER

PROVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO BE A NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION.]

delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto shall be subject to approval
by the Company's counsel of all legal matters in connection therewith,
including, but not limited to, compliance with the requirements of the
