price for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was
exercised, (ii) the Company shall have issued and delivered the Shares to
the Optionee, and (iii) the Optionee's name shall have been entered as a

the Optionee for any reason, the Optionee may for a period of three (3)
months after such termination exercise his Option to the extent, and only
to the extent, that such Option or portion thereof was exercisable as of
the date of such termination or cessation, after which time the Option
shall automatically terminate in full.
6.2 If the employment of the Optionee by the Company is
terminated by reason of Disability, the Optionee may, for a period of
twelve (12) months after such termination, exercise the Option to the

6.3 If the employment of the Optionee by the Company is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause, Disability
or death

portion of the Option scheduled to vest in accordance with
the terms of Section 4 hereof within the six (6) month
period immediately following such termination, shall become
immediately vested and exercisable as of the date of such
termination, or
b. on or after the two (2) year anniversary of the Grant Date,
the unexercisable portion of the Option shall become
immediately vested and exercisable as of the date of such
termination, and
the Optionee may for a period of three (3) months after such termination
exercise his Option to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Option
or portion thereof was exercisable as of the date of such termination
(after giving effect to Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) as applicable) after which
time the Option shall automatically tenrninate in full.
6.4 If the employment of the Optionee by the Company is
terminated by reason of his death, the Option may be exercised at any time
within twelve (12) months after the Optionee's death by the person or
persons to whom such rights under the Option shall pass by will, or by the
laws of descent or distribution, after which time the Option shall
terminate,in full; provided, however, that an Option may be exercised to
the extent, and only to the extent, that the Option or portion thereof was
exercisable on the date of death. If the Optionee dies within twelve (12)
months after termination as described in Section 6.2 hereof or within three
(3) months after termination as described in Section 6.3 hereof, the Option
granted to the Optionee may be exercised at any time within twelve (12)

rights under the Option shall pass by will, or by the laws of descent or
distribution, after which time the Option shall terminate in full;
provided, however, that an Option may be exercised to the extent, and only
to the extent, that the Option or portion thereof was exercisable on the
date of termination.

immediately upon the Optionee's termination of employment with the Company
or a Subsidiary for any reason.
6.6 For purposes of this Section 6, the Optionee shall not be
treated as terminated for so long as he is an employee of the Company or a
Subsidiary.
7. Effect of Certain Transactions.
------------------------------
7.1 In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with
or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company after which the Shares cease to be listed or admitted for
trading on the principal national securities exchange on which such Shares
were listed or admitted to trading immediately prior thereto (a
"Transaction"), the Option shall be assumed, or an equivalent option shall
be substituted, by the Successor Corporation; provided, however, that,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Option shall remain
subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to
the Option prior to such assumption or substitution. In the event that the
Successor Corporation refuses to or does not assume the Option or
substitute an equivalent option therefor, the Optionee shall have the right
to exercise the Option as to all of the Shares subject to the Option as
described below, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be
exercisable (a "Transaction Acceleration").
7.2 In the event of a Transaction Acceleration, the Secretary of
the Company shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully
exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days (or such other period as
shall be determined by the Board) from the date of such notice, and the
Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes
of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the
Transaction, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive upon
exercise, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the
Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities
or property) received in the Transaction for each Share held on the
effective date of the Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of such consideration as determined by the Board).
7.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 7, in the event of a Transaction Acceleration the Board may, in its
sole discretion, authorize the redemption of the unexercised portion of the
Option for a consideration per Share equal to the excess of (i) the
consideration payable per Share in connection with such Transaction, over
(ii) the purchase price per Share subject to the Option.
7.4 In the event of a Change in Control immediately after which
the Shares remain listed and admitted for trading on the principal national
securities exchange on which such Shares were listed or admitted to trading
immediately prior thereto, the Option shall remain subject to all of the
conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Option prior to
such Change in Control. In the event that the Optionee's employment with
the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause within the six (6)
month period immediately following such Change in Control, the Option shall
become immediately and fully vested and exercisable as of such termination
of employment and remain exercisable for the three (3) month period
immediately following such termination of employment, after which it shall
terminate in full.
8. Non-Transferability.
-------------------
The Option shall not be transferable other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order
(within the meaning of Rule 16a-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act),
and the Option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee
only by the Optionee or his guardian or legal representative.
9. Limitation on Rights.
--------------------
Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to
confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
employment by the Company or any of its affiliates, nor shall this
Agreement interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its
affiliates to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time.
10. Adjustments.
-----------
10.1 In the event of a Change in Capitalization, the Committee
shall make appropriate adjustments, if any, to the number and class of
Shares or other stock or securities subject to the Option and the purchase
price for such Shares or other stock or securities. The Committee's
adjustment shall be effective and final, binding and conclusive for all
purposes of this Agreement.
10.2 If, by reason of a Change in Capitalization, the Optionee
shall be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to new, additional or
different shares of stock or securities, such new, additional or different
shares shall thereupon be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions
which were applicable to the Shares subject to the Option prior to such
Change in Capitalization.
11. Effect of a Merger, Consolidation or Liguidation.
------------------------------------------------
Subject to Section 7 hereof, upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control or a Transaction, the Option shall continue in effect in accordance
with its terms and the Optionee shall be entitled to receive in respect of
all Shares subject to the Option, upon exercise of the Option, the same
number and kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration
that each holder of Shares was entitled to receive in such Transaction or
Change in Control in respect of a Share; provided, however, that such
stock, securities, cash, property, or other consideration shall remain
subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to
the Option prior to such Transaction or Change in Control.
12. Withholding of Taxes.
--------------------
At such times as the Optionee recognizes taxable income in
connection with the receipt of Shares hereunder (a "Taxable Event"), the
Optionee shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the federal, state and
local income taxes and other amounts as may be required by law to be
withheld by the Company in connection with the Taxable Event (the
"Withholding Taxes") prior to the issuance of such Shares. The Company
shall have the right to deduct from any payment or distribution of cash to
the Optionee an amount equal to the Withholding Taxes with respect to the
Option.
13. Pooling Transactions.
--------------------
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event of a Transaction which is also intended to
constitute a Pooling Transaction, the Committee shall take such actions, if
any, as are specifically recommended by an independent accounting firm
retained by the Company to the extent reasonably necessary in order to
assure that the Pooling Transaction will qualify as such, including but not
limited to (a) deferring the vesting, exercise, payment, settlement or
lapsing of restrictions with respect to the Option, (b) providing that the
payment or settlement in respect of the Option be made in the form of cash,
Shares or securities of a successor or acquirer of the Company, or a
combination of the foregoing, and (c) providing for the extension of the
term of any Option to the extent necessary to accommodate the foregoing,
but not beyond the maximum term permitted for any Option.
14. Modification of Agreement.
-------------------------
This Agreement may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated,
and any terms or conditions may be waived, but only by a written instrument
executed by the parties hereto.

remaining provisions of this Agreement shafl not be affected by such
holding and shall continue in full force in accordance with their terms.
16. Registration of Shares.
----------------------
16.1 The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the date
hereof, cause the Shares underlying the Option to be registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Option is subject to the
requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares
issuable pursuant to this Agreement is required by any securities exchange
or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of,
or in connection with, the issuance of Shares, no payment shall be made or
Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of
any conditions as acceptable to the Committee. The Board may make such
changes to the Option as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the
rules and regulations of any governmental authority.
16.2 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that the disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to
this Agreement is not covered by a then current registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and is
not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be
restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act
and Rule 144 or other regulations thereunder. The Committee may require the
Optionee, as a condition precedent to receipt of Shares hereunder, to
represent and warrant to the Company in writing that the Shares acquired by
him are acquired without a view to any distribution thereof and will not be
sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration
thereof under said Act or pursuant to an exemption applicable under the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The
certificates evidencing any of such Shares shall be appropriately amended
to reflect their status as restricted securities as aforesaid.

Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange
Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities;
provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred
pursuant to this Section 23.4(a), Shares or Voting Securities which are
acquired in a "Non-Control Acquisition" (as hereinafter defined) shall not
constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A
"Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee
benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the

consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which
securities of the Company are issued where:

reorganization, at least sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power
of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such
merger or consolidation or reorganization (the "Surviving Corporation") in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting
Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization,
and
(B) no Person other than (1) the Company, (2) any
Majority-Owned Subsidiary, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust
forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior to such merger,
consolidation or reorganization, was maintained by the Company or any
Majority-Owned Subsidiary, or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to such
merger, consolidation or reorganization had Beneficial Ownership of thirty
percent (30%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities or Shares,

transfer to a Majority-Owned Subsidiary or the distribution to the
Company's stockholders of the stock of a Majority-Owned Subsidiary or any
other assets).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to
occur solely because any Person (the "Subject Person") acquired Beneficial
Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Shares
or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting
Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting
Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in
Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of
the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company, and after
such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the
Beneficial Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities which
increases the percentage of the then outstanding Shares or Voting
Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in
Control shall occur.
