(c) FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTION. This Option
shall not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or laws
or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may
require the Optionee to make any representation, warranty or certification to
the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation or by the
Plan. There shall be no exercise of any fractional shares concerning the Option.

split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the
capital structure of the Company.
5. TERMINATION OF STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE. If the Optionee ceases to
serve as an Employee for any reason other than death or for Cause (as defined in
the Plan) and thereby terminates his status as an Employee, the Optionee shall
have the right to exercise this Option at any time within ninety (90) days
following the date of such termination, to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, but in no event
after the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 2 hereof.
If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee due to death, this
Option may be exercised at any time within one (1) year following the date of
death by the Optionee's executor or administrator or the person or persons who
shall have acquired the Option by bequest or inheritance but only to the extent
the Optionee was entitled to exercise this option at the date of death. To the
extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
termination or death, or to the extent the Option is not exercised within the
time specified herein, this Option shall terminate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of the term
set forth in Section 2 hereof. If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee
due to termination of his employment by the Company for cause (as defined in the
Plan), this Option shall cease to be exercisable ten (10) days following the
date the notice of such termination is delivered to the Optionee.
6. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION. This Option may not be sold,
ledged, assigned, hypothecated, gifted, transferred or disposed of in any manner
either voluntarily or involuntarily by operation of law, other than by will or
by the laws of descent of distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime
of the Optionee only by such Optionee. Subject to the
2
3
foregoing and the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Option shall be binding
upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Optionee.
7. CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Neither this Plan nor any Option granted
hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employment
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or limit in any respect the right of
the Company to discharge the Optionee at any time, with or without cause and
with or without notice.
8. WITHHOLDING TAX LIABILITY. The Optionee understands and agrees that
the company may be required to withhold part or all of the Optionee's regular
compensation to pay any taxes required to be withheld under federal, state, or
local law as a result of the exercise of this Option, and that if such regular
compensation is insufficient, the Company may require the Optionee, as a
condition of exercise of this Option, to pay in cash the amount of such
withholding tax liability.
9. THE PLAN. This Option is subject to, and the Company and the
Optionee expressly agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the
Plan as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof, provided that no such amendment shall deprive the Optionee, without his
written consent, of this Option or any rights hereunder. Pursuant to the Plan,
the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to administer
the Plan is authorized to adopt rules and regulations not materially
inconsistent with the Plan as it shall deem appropriate and proper. If questions
arise as to the intent, meaning or application of the provisions of this Option
Agreement or of the Plan, such questions shall be decided by Committee in its
sole discretion, and any such decision shall be conclusive and binding on the
Optionee. A copy of the Plan in its present form is available for inspection
during regular business hours by the Optionee of the persons entitled to
