a.             Rights to Exercise.  The Option shall vest in ten (10) monthly installments of [NO. OF SHARES] shares, commencing on [START DATE] and ending on [END DATE]

b.             Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by a written notice which shall:

(i). State the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised, the person in whose name the stock certificate or certificates for such shares of Common Stock is to be registered, his address and Social Security Number (or if more than one, the names, addresses and Social Security Numbers of such person);

(ii). Be signed by the person or persons entitled to the Option and, if the Option is being exercised by any person or persons other than the Optionee, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option;

(iii). Be in writing and delivered in person or by certified mail to the President, Secretary or other authorized officer of the Company at the Company’s principal place of business; and

(iv.) Be accompanied by payment of the purchase price for the shares which the Optionee elects to purchase.  Such payment may be made in whole or in part (A) in cash (by check) or (B) by any of the available means set forth in Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 of the Plan.

c.             Restrictions on Exercise.  This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or valid regulation.  If originally received pursuant to any Company benefit plan, shares of Common Stock swapped in payment of the exercise price must have been held by Optionee for at least six (6) months.  As a condition to the exercise of this Option the Company may require the person exercising the Option to make any representation and warranty to the Company as the Company’s counsel believes may be required by any applicable law or regulations.

3.             Non-transferability of the Option.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the Optionee.

4.             Termination of Directorship.  If the Optionee ceases to be a Director of the Company for any reason, any outstanding Options held by the Optionee shall be exercisable according to the following provisions:

a.             If a Optionee ceases to be a Director of the Company for any reason other than resignation, removal for cause, or death, any outstanding Option held by such Optionee shall be exercisable by the Optionee (but only if exercisable by the Optionee immediately prior to ceasing to be Director) at any time prior to the expiration date of such Option or within three (3) years after the date the Optionee ceases to be a Director, whichever is the shorter period;

b.             If during his term of office as a Director a Optionee resigns from the Board or is removed from office for cause, any outstanding Option held by the Optionee which is not exercisable by the Optionee immediately prior to resignation or removal shall terminate as of the date of resignation or removal, and any outstanding Option held by the Optionee which is exercisable by the Optionee immediately prior to resignation or removal shall be exercisable by the Optionee at any time prior to the expiration date of such Option or within three (3) months after the date of resignation or removal of the Optionee, whichever is the shorter period;
