restrictive
legend stating that the Shares
have not been
registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, that the shares
have
been acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to
distribution
or resale,
and that the
Shares may not be sold, assigned,
pledged,
hypothecated,
or otherwise transferred without an effective
registration
statement for such shares under the Securities Act of 1933 and
applicable state
securities laws or an
opinion of counsel
satisfactory to
the Company to the effect that
registration
is not required under such
laws.
The Company, however, shall not be required to issue or
deliver a
certificate
for any Shares until
it has complied with all requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as
amended, any stock
exchange on which the Company's Stock may then
be listed and
all applicable state
laws in connection with the issuance or
sale of such
Shares or the listing of such Shares on such exchange. Until

including any
unexercised portion thereof, which was otherwise
exercisable
on the date of
termination,
shall expire unless exercised
within a period
of three months from the date on which the Employee ceased
to be so
employed, but in no
event after the Expiration Date. In the event
of the death of
Employee during this
three month period,
the Option shall
be exercisable
by his or her personal representatives, heirs or legatees to
the same extent
that the Employee
could have exercised the Option if he or
she had not
died, for the three
months from the date
of death, but in
no
event after the
Expiration Date.

of the Shares covered

any securities exchange or under any federal or
