otherwise agreed to by the Administrator, and may be exercised only by the
delivery to the Company of a properly completed written notice, in form
satisfactory to the Administrator, which notice shall specify the number of
Option Shares to be purchased and the aggregate Option Price for such shares,
together with payment in full of such aggregate Option Price. Payment shall

Price is made in shares of Stock, such shares shall be valued by using their
Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise of the Option.

The Option may not be exercised unless the Participant (a) enters into (i)
a restricted stock agreement covering the shares of Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Option (a "Restricted Stock Agreement") and (ii) any other document (a
"Private Issuance Document") the Company determines necessary to ensure that the
Option Shares are issued pursuant to an available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws, and (b) there has been
compliance with all the preceding provisions of this Section 2. For all purposes
of this Stock Option Agreement, the date of the exercise of the Option shall be
the date upon which there is compliance with all such requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall not be required to enter
into a Restricted Stock Agreement or a Private Issuance Document upon exercise
of the Option in the event that, at the time of such exercise, (a) the Option is
fully vested as to the Option Shares being purchased, (b) the Company has
consummated an initial public offering of the Stock registered under the
Securities Act, and (c) there is an effective Registration Statement on Form S-8
of the Company under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Option
Shares upon exercise of the Option.

may include such provisions as the Administrator in its sole discretion may
determine to be desirable including, without limitation, restrictions on
transfer, rights of first refusal of the Company, Company repurchase rights that
may be exercised at any time and for any reason, including repurchases under
specified circumstances that will result in the Participant not realizing any
gain from the purchase of the shares, deferred payment for the purchase of
shares from the Participant, rights to require sale of the shares in the event
of a change in control of the Company, and limitations on sales immediately
following an initial public offering. Except as provided above, exercise of the
Option and issuance of the underlying Option Shares will be conditioned upon the
Participant's (i) acknowledgment that the Participant has read and understands
the terms and provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement and enters into such
Restricted Stock Agreement voluntarily with an intent to be bound by its
provisions, and (ii) delivery of executed copies of the Restricted Stock
Agreement to the Administrator.
The Option shall be transferable only to, and shall be exercisable only by,
such persons permitted in accordance with Section 4(e) of the Plan.

If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax
imposed as a result of the exercise of the Option, the Participant shall be
required, at the time of exercise, to pay such amount to the Company, as
provided in the Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the
Participant is responsible for the tax consequences associated with the grant of
the Option and its exercise.
