certificates. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights with
respect to such shares for which the record date is prior to the date such
certificate or certificates are issued.

The Option shall not be transferred in any manner other than by will or the
laws of descent or distribution. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the
Option shall be exercised only by the Optionee. No transfer of the Option
shall be effective to bind the Corporation unless the Corporation shall have
been furnished with written notice thereof and such evidence as the Corporation
may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance
by the transferee of the terms and conditions of the Option.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES, TAX AND OTHER LAWS
The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares upon such exercise
would constitute a violation of any applicable Federal or state securities law
or any other law or valid regulation. As a condition to exercise of the
Option, the Corporation may require the Optionee, or any person acquiring the
right to exercise the Option, to make any representation or warranty that the
Corporation deems to be necessary under any applicable securities, tax, or
other law or regulation.
ADJUSTMENTS
The Optionee acknowledges the power of the Committee under Section 6.1 of the
Plan to adjust the number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to the
Option and the exercise price of the Option upon the occurrence of certain
events to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available by the grant of the Option.
NO RIGHT TO REMAIN IN OFFICE
The granting of the Option does not confer upon the Optionee any right to be
retained as an Employee.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF OPTION
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Corporation may not,
without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any Option granted under
the Plan. The Option shall be considered terminated in whole or in part, to

notices shall be addressed. Any notice given by the Corporation to the
