Stock Options and Grants a) Options to purchase stock of the Employer shall be awarded to the Employee annually pursuant to the terms of this Employment Contract and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Employer's Stock Option Plan based upon EPS percentage growth, adjusted for extraordinary items (including but not limited to the 1995 write down of ComTel assets), and the performance and contribution of the Employee as determined by the CEO in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.
