The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(a)                                  The expiration of seven years from the date the Option was granted; or

(b)                                 If the Employee owned (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the Option was granted, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary or parent corporation thereof (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code), the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option was granted; or

(c)                                  The expiration of one (1) month from the date of the Employee’s voluntary Termination of Employment; or

(d)                                 The expiration of three (3) months from the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment by reason of his retirement or his being discharged not for good cause (for purposes of this Agreement, “good cause” means any act of fraud by the Employee, any act of dishonesty by the Employee involving the Company or its business, the Employee’s conviction of or a plea of nolo contendere to a felony, or the commission of any act in direct or indirect competition with or materially detrimental to the best interests of the Company that is in breach of the Employee’s fiduciary duties to the Company), unless the Employee dies within said three-month period; or

Section 2.4. - Adjustments to and/or Cancellation of the Option

Neither  (i)  the issuance of additional shares of stock of the Company in exchange for adequate consideration (including services), nor  (ii)  the conversion of outstanding preferred shares of the Company into Common Stock, shall be deemed to require an adjustment in the shares covered by the Option or in the purchase price of shares subject to the Option pursuant to Section 9.3(a) of the Plan.  In the event the Committee shall determine that an event has occurred affecting the

2

Company such that an adjustment to the Option under Section 9.3(a) of the Plan should be made but that it is not practical or feasible to make such an adjustment, such event shall be deemed a Terminating Event subject to the following paragraph.

Subject to Section 9.3(b)(vii) of the Plan, in the event of  (a)  the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b)  a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations as a result of which the Company will not be a surviving corporation, (c)  the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,  (d)  a sale or other transfer of more than eighty percent (80%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or  (e) the occurrence of an event in accordance with the last sentence of the previous paragraph  (any of such events is herein referred to as a “Terminating Event”), the Committee shall determine whether a provision will be made in connection with the Terminating Event for an appropriate assumption of the Option by or substitution of appropriate new options covering stock of, a successor corporation employing the Employee or stock of an affiliate of such successor employer corporation.  If the Committee determines that such an appropriate assumption or substitution will be made, the Committee shall give notice of the determination to the Employee and the terms of such assumption or substitution, and any adjustments made  (i)  to the number and kind of shares subject to the Option outstanding under the Plan (or to options issued in substitution therefor),  (ii)  to the Option purchase price and (iii) to the terms and conditions of the Option, shall be binding upon the Employee.  If the Committee determines that no assumption or substitution will be made, the Committee shall give notice of this determination to the Employee,  whereupon the Employee shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following the notice to exercise in full or in part the unexercised and unexpired portion of this Option without regard to the limitation on exercisability specified in Section 2.1(a) above.  Upon the expiration of this thirty (30) day period, the option shall expire to the extent not earlier exercised.

ARTICLE III.
EXERCISE OF OPTION

Section 3.1. - Partial Exercise

Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3; provided, however, that each partial exercise shall be for not less than 100 shares and shall be for whole shares only.

Section 3.2. - Manner of Exercise

The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Company’s Secretary or his office of all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3:

(a)                                  A written notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Committee stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised.  The notice shall be signed by the Employee or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion.

(b)                                 Full payment to the Company for the shares with respect to which such Option or portion is exercised, which shall be:

(i)  In cash; or

(ii)  With the consent of the Committee, shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Employee (and, if acquired from the Company, held for at least six months), duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares as to which the Option is exercised; or

(iii)  With the consent of the Committee, by delivery of a notice that the Employee has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the purchase price of the shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(c)                                  A bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Employee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion, as the Committee in its discretion shall determine is necessary or appropriate to effect compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of shares acquired on exercise of the Option does not violate the Securities Act of 1933, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such shares.  Share certificates evidencing stock issued on exercise of this Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the provisions of this subsection (c) and the agreements

3

herein.  The written representation and agreement referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall, however, not be required if the shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and such registration is then effective in respect of such shares.

(d)                                 Full payment to the Company (or other employer corporation) of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, it is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option.  With the consent of the Committee, (i) shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Employee, duly endorsed for transfer, with a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld, or (ii) shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable to the Employee upon exercise of the Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld, may be used to make all or part of such payment.

(e)                                  In the event the Option or portion shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 by any person or persons other than the Employee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.

Section 3.3. - Rights as Shareholder

The holder of the Option shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued by the Company to such holder.

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 4.1. - Option Not Transferable

Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until such Option has been exercised, or the shares underlying such Option have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed.  Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Employee or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.
