Company hereby grants to the Optionee an option (the "Option") to purchase an
aggregate of __________ shares of Stock, pursuant to the terms of this

(b) unless earlier exercised, the Option shall expire one (1) year following
the Optionee's death. In the event of the death of the Optionee, the executors,
administrators, legatees or distributees of the estate of the Optionee shall
have the right to exercise the Option in accordance with paragraph 5 hereof. In
the event the Option is exercised by the executors, administrators, legatees or

manner. The Optionee shall deliver to the Company written notice specifying the

whole number of shares of Stock not less than 100. The Optionee must include

of Stock pursuant to exercise of the Option until the date of the issuance of a

in full.
6. Certain Events. If the issued and outstanding shares of Stock are
increased or decreased, or are changed into or exchanged for a different number
or kind of shares or securities or other forms of property (including cash) or
rights, as a result of one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations,
spin-offs, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or the like,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and/or kind of shares or
securities or other forms of property (including cash) or rights for which this
Option may thereafter be exercised, all without any change in the aggregate
exercise price applicable to the unexercised portions of the Option, but with a
corresponding adjustment in the exercise price per share or other unit. No
fractional share of Stock shall be issued under this Option or in connection
with any such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board of
Directors of the Company whose determinations as to what adjustments shall be
made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.
