or by the Company or as the Owned Class B Shares may be adjusted by conversion

consistent with past practice being referred to herein as the "Subject
Shares"). The Option may be exercised in whole (but not in part) at any time
after September 28, 1997 and on or prior to the first anniversary thereof (such
