the event of the death or disability of the Optionee while an employee of the
Company, this option only to the extent exercisable at the date of death or
disability may be exercised within the applicable period of time and by the
persons indicated in Article VII (6) of the Plan, and (b) in the event of the

4. EXERCISE. This Option is exercisable with respect to all, or from time
to time with respect to any portion, of the Shares described above which have at

form prescribed by the Board, to the principal office of the Secretary of the

In the event of any attempt by the Optionee to alienate, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Option or any right thereunder, except
as provided for herein, or in the event of the levy of any attachment, execution
or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Corporation
may terminate this Option by notice to the Optionee and this Option shall
thereupon become null and void.
6. LEGAL RESTRICTIONS. If the sale of the Shares purchased hereunder is
not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, but an exemption is available
which requires an investment or other representation, the Optionee shall
represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon
exercising this Option are being acquired for investment, and not with view to
the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as
are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Corporation and its counsel. In
addition, the Optionee agrees that the following legend may be included on the
certificate representing the Shares:
The shares represented hereby have not been registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, pledged,
or otherwise transferred without an effective registration thereof under such
act or an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the company and its counsel, that
such registration is not required.
7. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. If the Corporation is merged or consolidated
into or with another corporation (other than by a merger or consolidation in
which the Corporation is the surviving corporation) or the Corporation or the
Corporation's assets are purchased by another company in exchange for stock, the
Corporation shall give the Optionee written notice of the Corporation's initial
or preliminary agreement to the transaction and the details of the transaction
at least 60 days prior to the closing of the transaction and an additional 30
days written notice prior to the closing date of the transaction and each
postponed closing date of the transaction. The then exercisable but unexercised
Shares granted in the Option may be exercised by the Optionee at any time prior
to the closing date of the transaction and such exercised Shares shall then be
deemed outstanding at the close of the transaction.
8. TAX CONSEQUENCES. This Stock Option is NOT intended as an "Incentive
Stock Option" under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Substantial tax consequences are involved in the decision to exercise
this Option. Therefore, the Optionee should consult with and seek advice from
his personal tax consultant prior to exercising this Option.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Neither the granting of this Option nor the exercise thereof
shall be construed as conferring upon the Optionee any right to continue in the
engagement of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or as interfering with
or restricting in any way the right of the Corporation to terminate such
engagement at any time.
(b) Neither the Optionee, nor any person entitled to exercise his
rights in the event of his death, shall have any of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to the Shares subject to this Option, except after such date the
Optionee or such person has been issued the Shares by the Corporation or its
agent.
2
(c) The Corporation is relieved from any liability for the
non-issuance or non-transfer or any delay in the issuance or transfer of any
Shares subject to this Option which results from the inability of the
Corporation to obtain, or in any delay in obtaining, from each regulatory body
having jurisdiction all requisite authority to issue or transfer Shares of the
Corporation in satisfaction of this Option if counsel for the Corporation deems
such authority necessary for the lawful issuance or transfer of any such shares.
(d) No Shares acquired by exercise of this Option shall be sold or
otherwise disposed of in violation of any federal or state securities law or
regulation in the Untied States.
(e) This Option shall be exercised in accordance with such
administrative regulations as the Corporation's Board may from time to time
adopt. All decisions of the Board upon any legitimate question arising under the
Plan or under this Stock Option Agreement shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Optionee and all other persons, if determined in good faith.
