Company and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement effective as of February

(2) Section 4.9 of the Agreement is hereby amended by the
deletion of said Section and the substitution in lieu thereof of a new Section
4.9 to read as follows:
4.9 VESTING OF STOCK OPTIONS. In the event of a Change in
Control the Committee under the Option Plan will cause all stock
options granted to the Executive pursuant to the Option Plan to become
immediately exercisable as follows:
a. SERVICE BASED OPTIONS. Options which would otherwise
become exercisable solely upon the passage of time
regardless of the price of a Share of Common Stock of
the Company shall become exercisable in full upon the
Change in Control.
b. PERFORMANCE BASED OPTIONS. Options which would
otherwise become exercisable upon the attainment of a
specified price of a Share of Common Stock of the
Company shall become exercisable to the extent that
the sales price in the Change in Control transaction
satisfies the price targets set forth in the Option
Agreement, without regard to the 20 consecutive day
price maintenance requirement of the Option
Agreement.
In addition, to the extent that the sales
price in the Change in Control is above $15.75 per
share of Common Stock of the Company, is below $30
per share and is not equal to $18 or $24 per share
($15.75, $18, $24 and $30 are hereinafter referred to
as `price
2
targets'), a part of the Option shall become
exercisable equal to the number of Shares
which would have become exercisable had the sales
price been at the next highest price target
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall
equal the amount by which the sales price in the
Change in Control exceeds the next lower price target
and the denominator of which shall equal the amount
by which the next highest price target exceeds the
next lower price target.
In addition to the above provisions for with
respect to the exercisability of the stock option
shares in the event of a Change in Control, the Stock
Option Committee may in its sole discretion, waive
any or all remaining higher stock option price
targets and determine to make any or all of such
remaining shares exercisable.
Such stock options as become exercisable in accordance with the
preceding provisions shall remain so exercisable until their
expiration. The `price targets' referred to in the preceding paragraph
will be adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination or
exchange of shares, exchange for other securities, reclassification,
reorganization, redesignation, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
spin-off, split-off, split-up or other such change in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8 of the Stock Option Agreement between the
Executive and the Company.
In the event the proceeds from a sale or disposition of any of
the Affiliates which the Company owns on the date of this Agreement are
used to provide a dividend to the stockholders of the Company, then
immediately upon the effective date of such sale or disposition the
Company will cause the stock options, other than the Special Stock
Option, granted to the Executive pursuant to the Option Plan
3
to become immediately exercisable in the amounts described above and
to remain exercisable in such amounts so that the Executive shall be
entitled to become a stockholder of record such that the Executive
shall be entitled to receive the benefits of the dividend. In the event
a Change in Control occurs after the date such a dividend is provided
and the Executive exercises his Special Stock Option, the Company will
pay an amount in cash to the Executive equal to the dividend which
would have been paid to him if he had been a stockholder of record
at the time such a dividend was paid to stockholders of the Company."
(3) Subsection b of Section 6.7 of the Agreement is hereby
amended by the deletion of said Subsection and the substitution in lieu thereof
of a new Subsection b to read as follows:
"b. The term `Change in Control' shall include:
i. the receipt by the Company of a Schedule 13D or other
advice after the date of execution of this Agreement
indicating that a person is the "beneficial owner"
(as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of fifty percent
(50%) or more of the Company's common stock of any
class or any securities convertible into such common
stock calculated as provided in paragraph (d) of said
Rule 13d-3;
ii. the date of approval by stockholders of the Company
of an agreement providing for any consolidation or
merger of the Company in which the Company will not
be the continuing or surviving corporation or
pursuant to which shares of capital stock, of any
class or any securities convertible into such capital
stock, of the Company would be converted into cash,
4
securities, or other property, other than a merger of
the Company in which the holders of common stock of
all classes of the Company immediately prior to the
merger would have the same proportion of ownership of
common stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger;
iii. the date of the approval by stockholders of the
Company of any sale, lease, exchange, or other
transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all or substantially all the assets
of the Company;
iv. the adoption of any plan or proposal for the
liquidation (but not a partial liquidation) or
dissolution of the Company; or
v. such other event as the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors shall, in its sole and absolute
discretion, deem to be a `Change in Control.'"
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, by its duly authorized
officers, and the Executive have executed this Amendment No. 1 as of the day and
year first above written.
