described in Section 8.

The Optionee agrees that, until such time as a registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, becomes effective with respect to
this option or shares of Common Stock subject hereto, the Optionee is taking
this option, and will take the stock underlying this option, for investment and
not for resale or distribution. The Company shall have the right to place upon

upon the exercise of this option such legend as the Board or the Committee may

8. Exercise of Option.
------------------
(a) The number of shares subject to this option shall
become cumulatively exercisable as follows: _____________________________, with
the option becoming fully exercisable on _______________.
(b) An option shall be exercisable by written notice of
such exercise, in the form prescribed by the Board or the Committee, to the
Secretary of the Company, at its principal office. The notice shall specify the
number of shares for which the option is being exercised (which number, if less
than all of the shares then subject to exercise, shall be 100 or a multiple
thereof) and shall be accompanied by payment (i) in cash or by check of the
amount of the full purchase price of such shares or (ii) in such other manner as
the Board or the Committee shall deem acceptable.
(c) No shares shall be delivered upon exercise of any
option until all laws, rules and regulations which the Board or the Committee
may deem applicable have been complied with. If a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is not then in effect with respect to
the shares issuable upon such exercise, the Company may require, as a condition
precedent, that the person exercising the option give to the Company a written
representation and undertaking, satisfactory in form and substance to the Board
or the Committee, that such person is acquiring the shares for their own account
for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.
(d) The person exercising an option shall not be
considered a record holder of the stock so purchased for any purpose until the
date on which such person is actually recorded as the holder of such stock in
the records of the Company.
(e) This option shall be exercisable only so long as
the Optionee shall continue to be an employee of the Company and within the
three-month period after the date of termination of his employment to the extent
it was exercisable on the date prior to the date of termination.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(e)
above, in the event the Optionee is unable to continue his employment with the
Company as a result of his total and permanent disability (as defined in section
22(e)(3) of the Code), he may, but only within 12
months from the date of such disability, exercise this option to the extent he
was entitled to exercise it on the date of such disability.
(g) Notwithstanding the provision of Section 8(e) above,
in the event of death of the Optionee:
(i) during the term of this option who is at the
time of his death an employee of the Company and who shall have been in
Continuous Status as an Employee (as defined in the Plan) since the date of
grant of this option, this option may be exercised, at any time, within 12
months following the date of death, by the Optionee's estate or by a person who
acquired the right to exercise this option by bequest or inheritance, but only
to the extent the option would have been exercisable had the Optionee continued
in the employ of the Company for the one month period following the date of
death; or
(ii) within three months after the termination of
Continuous Status as an Employee, this option may be exercised, at any time,
within three months following the date of death, by the Optionee's estate or by
a person who acquired the right to exercise the option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent the option is exercisable on the date of
termination.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, in no event shall this option
be exercisable after the Termination Date.
9. Non-Competition.
---------------
In consideration for the grant of this option, which Optionee
acknowledges to be good and valuable consideration, Optionee agrees that during
the term of Optionee's employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, and
for a period of 12 months thereafter, Optionee shall not directly or indirectly
do any of the following without the Company's prior written consent: (a) engage
as owner, employee, consultant, or otherwise, within the United States, of any
business in competition with any facet of the business of the Company or any of
its affiliates, provided that the Optionee shall have the right to make passive
investments in any entity so long as the Optionee does not participate in the
business of such entity in violation of this Section 9; (b) in any manner
interfere with the Company's (or any of its affiliate's) business relationships
with any of its customers or potential customers or otherwise urge any of such
customers or potential customers to discontinue business or not to do business
with the Company or any of its affiliates; or (c) hire, offer to hire, solicit,
or endeavor to entice away any employee, agent, or consultant of the Company or
any of its affiliates, or otherwise urge any such person to discontinue his or
her relationship with Company or any of its affiliates, regardless of who
initiated the communication. The parties agree that the terms of this Section 9
shall be given the broadest lawful and enforceable scope permissible for the
protection of the Company and its affiliates, that the terms of this Section 9
are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the
Company and its affiliates, that any violation of this Section 9 would result in
irreparable harm to the Company and its affiliates and that there is no adequate
remedy at law for violations of this Section 9. Consequently, if the Optionee
violates the provisions of this Section 9, this option (whether or not then
exercisable) shall become null and void, any profit earned by the Optionee on
the prior disposition of any shares of Common Stock underlying this option shall
be disgorged and paid to the Company, and the Company or any of its affiliates
shall be entitled, in addition to
any other available remedies, to enjoin the Optionee in a court of competent
jurisdiction from violating the terms of this Section 9.
10. Continued Employment.

agreement or guaranty of continued employment or limit in any way the Company's
right to terminate Optionee's employment at any time.
11. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) The Company and the Optionee agree that they will
both be subject to and bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, a
copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. In the event of a
conflict between the terms of this option and the terms of the Plan, the terms
of the Plan shall govern.
(b) This option shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of any successor or assign of the Company and to any heir, distributee,
executor, administrator or legal representative entitled to the Optionee's
rights hereunder.
(c) This option shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard
to the conflicts of law rules thereof.
(d) The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any
provision herein shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of
any other provision.
