of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally

1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Optionee the option (the
"Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, to purchase ______ shares of the
Company's Common Stock, for an exercise price of $_____ per share.
2. Option Plan. This Option is granted under the Plan and, except as
provided in Section 12, is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option, as
that term is used in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Plan. In the event any of the provisions hereof conflict with or are

any then unexercised portion hereof.
4. Manner of Exercise. This Option shall be exercised by the Optionee (or
other party entitled to exercise the Option under Section 5 of this Agreement)
by delivering written notice to the Company stating the number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased, the person or persons in whose name the shares are
to be registered and each such person's address and social security number. Such
notice shall not be effective unless accompanied by the full purchase price for
all shares so purchased. The purchase price shall be payable by check, note,
shares of common stock already owned by the Optionee and held for at least six
months, or such other instrument as the Committee shall accept and shall be
accompanied by an executed Subscription Agreement in such form as determined by
the Committee. In the event of payment by shares of the Common Stock, the shares
used in payment of the purchase price shall be considered payment to the extent
of their fair market value on the date of exercise of this Option. At the time
of payment of the purchase price and prior to delivery of any certificate for
such shares delivered in connection with this Option, Optionee shall pay to the
Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local
withholding or other tax requirements.
5. Nontransferability of Option. This Option shall not be transferable by
the Optionee without the prior written consent of the Board otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the
Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee. The terms of this Option shall be
binding on the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee.
6. Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination by Death. If the Optionee's employment by the
Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, this Option may
thereafter be exercised, to the extent to which it was then exercisable at the
time of death, by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of
the Optionee under the will of the Optionee, for a period of one year from the
date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option,
whichever period is the shorter.
(b) Termination by Reason of Disability. If the Optionee's
employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability,
this Option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent to which it was then
exercisable at the time of Disability, by the Optionee for a period of one year
from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the
stated term of the Option, whichever period is the shorter.
(c) Termination by Retirement. If Optionee's employment by the
Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Normal or Early Retirement,
this Option may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent to which
it was then exercisable at the time of such Normal or Early Retirement, for a
period of three months from the date of such termination of
2
employment or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option whichever
period is the shorter.
(d) Termination for Cause. If the Optionee's employment by the
Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for Cause, this Option shall terminate
immediately and become void and of no effect.
(e) Other Termination. If the Optionee's employment by the Company
or any Subsidiary is involuntarily terminated for any reason other than death,
Disability or Normal or Early Retirement or voluntarily terminated, other than
for Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, this Option may be exercised, to
the extent this Option was then exercisable, by the Optionee for a period of
three months from the date of such termination of employment or the expiration
of the stated term of the Option, whichever period is the shorter.
7. Restrictions on Purchase and Sale of Shares. The Company shall be
obligated to sell or issue shares pursuant to the exercise of this Option only
in the event that the shares are at that time effectively registered or
otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"). In the event that the shares are not registered under the 1933
Act, the Optionee hereby agrees that, as a further condition to the exercise of
this Option, the Optionee (or his successor under Section 5 hereof), if the
Company so requests, will execute an agreement in form satisfactory to the
Company in which the Optionee represents that he or she is purchasing the shares
for investment purposes, and not with a view to resale or distribution. The
Optionee further agrees that if the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the
exercise of this Option are not subject to an effective registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements
of the 1933 Act, such shares shall bear an appropriate restrictive legend.
8. Adjustment. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, extraordinary cash dividend, stock dividend, stock split, or
other change in capitalization or corporate structure affecting the Common
Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to this
Option and the exercise price per share of such shares shall be adjusted
appropriately by the Committee.
9. No Rights Until Exercise. The Optionee shall have no rights hereunder
as a shareholder with respect to any shares subject to this Option until the
date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him or her for such shares upon
due exercise of this Option. Nothing contained herein shall create an obligation
on the part of the Company to repurchase any shares of Common Stock purchased
hereunder.
10. Amendment. The Board may amend the terms of this Option, prospectively
or retroactively, but, subject to Section 9 above, no such amendment shall
affect the rights of the Optionee hereunder without the Optionee's consent.
11. Notices. All notices required to be given under this Option shall be
deemed to be received if delivered or mailed as provided for herein, to the
parties at the following addresses, or to such other address as either party may
provide in writing from time to time.

12. Excessive Shares. In the event that the number of shares subject to
this Option exceeds any maximum established under the Code for Incentive Stock
Options that may be granted to Optionee, or in the event that this Option
becomes first exercisable in any calendar year to obtain Common Stock having an
aggregate Fair Value (determined at the time of grant) in excess of $100,000,
this Option may be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option to the extent of such
excess. If the exercise of the Option is accelerated in accordance with the
terms of Section 6 of the Plan, then any portion of such Option that is not
exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the $100,000 limitation
contained in Section 422(d) of the Code shall be treated as a Non-Qualified
Stock Option.
