which is the Fair Market Value of an Option Share as of the Grant Date, such

provided in Section 13 of the Plan, and further subject to the following terms

and conditions:

 

            1.     RELATIONSHIP TO PLAN. This Option is intended to be an

incentive stock option within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Service Code

(the "Code") Section 422. To the extent the limitations of Section 422(d) of the

Code are exceeded, with respect to such excess portion, the Option is intended

to be a nonqualified stock option within the meaning of Code Section 83. This

Option is subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan and

administrative interpretations thereunder, if any, which have been adopted by

the Committee thereunder and are in effect on the date hereof. Except as defined

herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under

the Plan. For purposes of this Award Agreement:

 

            (a)    "DISABILITY" shall mean a physical or mental impairment (a)

      which causes a Participant to be unable to perform the normal duties for

      an Employer as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; and (b)

      which is expected either to result in death (or blindness) or to last for

      a continuous period of at least twelve (12) months. The Committee may

      require that the Participant be examined by a physician or physicians

      selected by the Committee.

 

            (b)    "EMPLOYMENT" shall mean employment with the Company or any of

      its Subsidiaries.

 

            (c)    "OPTION SHARES" shall mean the shares of Common Stock covered

      by this Award Agreement.

 

            2.     EXERCISE SCHEDULE.

 

            (a)    The Option hereby granted shall become vested and exercisable

      the Grant Date, 66.66% of the Option Shares becoming exercisable on the

      second (2nd) anniversary of the Grant Date, and 100% of the Option Shares

      becoming exercisable on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Grant Date. No

      anniversary of the Grant Date. The Optionee must be in continuous

      Employment from the Grant Date through the date of exercisability of each

      installment in order for the Option to become exercisable with respect to

      additional Option Shares on each such date.

 

            b)     The Option hereby granted shall become 100% vested and

      exercisable, irrespective of the limitations set forth in subsection (a)

      above, provided that the Optionee has been in continuous Employment since

      the Grant Date, upon a Change in Control.

 

            3.     TERMINATION OF OPTION. The Option hereby granted shall

terminate and be of no force and effect with respect to any shares of Common

Stock not previously purchased by the Optionee upon the first to occur of:

 

             (a)    the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date;

 

            (b)    with respect to

 

                  (i)    the portion of the Option exercisable upon termination,

                        the expiration of (A) one (1) year following the

                         Optionee's termination of Employment due to death or

                        Disability; or (B) the three (3) months following the

                        date the Optionee's termination of Employment for any

                        other reason; and/or

 

                  (ii)   the portion of the Option not exercisable upon

                        termination, the date of the Optionee's termination of

                        Employment.

 

            4.     EXERCISE OF OPTION. Subject to the limitations set forth

herein and in the Plan, the Option may be exercised by written notice provided

to the Company as set forth in Section 6 of this Award Agreement. Such written

notice shall (a) state the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to

Shares being acquired and any appropriate withholding taxes, or by other

Section 9 of the Plan.

 

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the

Optionee agrees that he will not exercise the Option granted pursuant hereto,

and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Option Shares pursuant

to this Award Agreement, if the exercise of the Option or the issuance of such

shares would constitute a violation by the Optionee or by the Company of any

exchange or transaction quotation system.
