This Option is granted pursuant to Section 5 (c) of the Plan and does not qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code); consequently, it shall be treated as a non-qualified stock option for tax purposes.

Subject to the provisions of Section 5 and 6 hereof and the discretion of the Committee (as defined in the Plan, and hereinafter referred to as the Committee) to accelerate the vesting schedule hereunder, this Option shall become vested and exercisable with respect to [ ] Option Shares [insert vesting schedule], so long as the Optionee continues to serve as a Director of the Company, in accordance with Section 5 (c) (i) of the Plan.

Said notice shall specify the number of shares to be purchased.
Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (a) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Committee; or (b) in the form of shares of Common Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan (subject to the Committees discretion); or (c) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option
purchase price; provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.
The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be contingent upon the Companys receipt from the Optionee of full payment therefore, as set forth above, and any agreement, statement or other evidence as the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Option Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under this Agreement and any subsequent resale of the Shares will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
If requested upon the exercise of this Option, certificates for shares may be issued in the name of the Optionee jointly with another person or in the name of the executor or administrator of the Optionees estate.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b), if this Option is outstanding on the date of Optionees death and Optionee is an Eligible Director on such date, this Option may be exercised by the legal representative or legatee of the Optionee as to the Option Shares vested on the date of death for a period of 180 days from the date of death, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4(a).
5. Changes of Control. In the event of a merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, this Option will automatically terminate upon
the date of consummation of such transaction, subject to the Optionees right to exercise this Option as to any or all the Option Shares then vested hereunder at any time or on or before the date of such consummation, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with Section 3(b) of the Plan.
6. Option Shares. The Option Shares are shares of the Common Stock of the Company as constituted on the date of this Option, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan.
