NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Company hereby
grants to the Optionee the right and option to purchase shares of Common Stock

"change in control" of the Company or "business combination" (as such terms are
defined below) shall occur, the Option shall become immediately exercisable in
full.
As used in this Agreement, a "change in control" shall only be deemed
to have occurred if any "person" (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")) hereafter
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3,
promulgated under the 0000 Xxx) of securities of the Company representing more
than fifty percent (50%) of the Company's then outstanding securities having the
right to vote on the election of directors (calculated
in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-3) ("Voting Securities"), except
that changes in direct or indirect ownership of Company securities resulting
from or relating to the following shall not be considered to be or result in a
"change in control":
(i) transfers by Xxx Xxxxxxx and Associates ("RE&A") or Xxxxxxx X.
English (collectively, the "Beneficial Owners") to Xxxxxxx X. English,
as Voting Trustee under that certain Voting Trust Agreement dated July
15, 1995 (the "Voting Trustee"), or from the Voting Trustee to either
or both of the Beneficial Owners;
(ii) transfers by the Voting Trustee to any successor voting trustee;
or
(iii) transfers by RE&A to any "affiliate" thereof (as such term is
defined in Rule 405, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended).
As used in this Agreement, the term "business combination" shall mean
any sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets or any merger
or consolidation to which the Company is a party (other than one consummated for
the purpose of changing the Company's domicile or one following which the
stockholders of the Company retain or obtain at least fifty percent (50%) of the
Voting Securities of the surviving or consolidated entity or the parent
thereof).
2. EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of each of the Option Shares
shall be sixty two and one-half cents ($.625) (the "Option Price").

accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, as soon as practicable after the receipt of notice of exercise and payment
of the Option Price as provided for in the Plan, the Company shall tender to the
Optionee certificates issued in the Optionee's name evidencing the number of
Option Shares covered thereby.
4. TRANSFERABILITY. The Option shall not be transferable other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the Optionee's
lifetime, shall not be exercisable by any person other than the Optionee.
5. TERMINATION OF CONSULTING SERVICES. In the event the Option
becomes exercisable, in whole or in part, whether through the passage of time or
acceleration, it shall remain exercisable to such extent until the Expiration
Date notwithstanding any subsequent termination of the Optionee's consulting
arrangement
with the Company or any subsidiary for any reason whatsoever.

are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.
