--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

lapse, and be forfeited upon the earlier of (i) six months after the date

     3. Exercise of Option.
     (a) This Option is immediately exercisable. Each exercise of the Option, or
any part thereof, shall be evidenced by a notice in writing to the Company. The
Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option shall be exercised shall be
paid in full at the time of exercise, and may be paid to the Company either:
     (1) in cash (including check, bank draft or money order); or
     (2) by the delivery of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price; provided, however, that such Shares, if acquired by
the exercise of an Option shall have been owned by the Optionee for more than
six months prior to exercise; or
     (3) by a combination of cash and Shares as described above; or
     (4) by arrangement with a broker acceptable to the Committee in which
payment of the Exercise Price is made pursuant to an irrevocable direction from
the Optionee to the broker to deliver the Company proceeds from the sale of the
option Shares in an amount equal to the exercise price of the Shares.
     (b) The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to the Shares covered by this Agreement except to the
extent that one or more certificates of such Shares shall have been delivered to
the Optionee, or the Optionee has been determined to be a stockholder of record
by the Company’s Transfer Agent, upon due exercise of the Option granted
hereunder.
     4. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Reorganization. The number
of Shares subject to the Option shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
     (a) Subject to any required action by stockholders, the number of Shares
subject to the option granted hereunder, and the Exercise Price, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
Shares of the Company resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or
the payment of a stock dividend (but only in Shares) or any other increase or
decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by
the Company.

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (b) Subject to any required action by stockholders, if the Company shall be
the surviving corporation in any Reorganization, merger or consolidation, the
Option granted hereunder shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a
holder of the number of Shares subject to the Option granted hereunder would
have been entitled, and if a plan or agreement reflecting any such event is in
effect that specifically provides for the change, conversion or exchange of
Shares, then any adjustment to Shares subject to the Option granted hereunder
shall not be inconsistent with the terms of any such plan or agreement.
     (c) In the event of a change in the Shares of the Company as presently
constituted, which is limited to a change of par value into the same number of
Shares with a different par value or without par value, the Shares resulting
from any such change shall be deemed to be the Shares within the meaning of the
Plan.
     To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities
of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
     Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Optionee
shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of stock of
any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease
in the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution,
liquidation, reorganization, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or
stock of another corporation, and any issued by the Company of shares of stock
of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to the Option granted hereunder.
     5. Non-Transferability of the Option. This Agreement, and the Option
granted hereunder, shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee; provided, however, that this Agreement, and the
Option granted hereunder, may be transferred to one or more members of the
immediate family of the Optionee or to a trust for the benefit of such person or
as directed under a qualified domestic relations order. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this
Agreement and the Option granted hereunder contrary to the provisions hereof, or
the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon this Agreement,
and the Option granted hereunder, shall be null and void and without effect.
     6. Compliance with Securities and other Laws. In no event shall the Company
be required to issue Shares under the Option granted hereunder, if the issuance
thereof would constitute a violation of applicable federal or state securities
laws or regulations or a violation of any other law or regulation of any
governmental or regulatory agency or authority or any national securities
exchange. As a condition to any issuance of Shares, the Company may place
legends on shares, issue stop transfer orders and require such agreements or
undertakings as the Company may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance
with any such laws or regulations, including, if the Company or its counsel
deems it appropriate, representations from the Optionee that the Optionee is
acquiring the Shares solely for investment and not with a view to distribution

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and that no distribution of the Shares will be made unless such shares are
registered pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws, or in the
opinion of counsel of the Company, such registration is unnecessary.
     7. Issuance of Shares. Upon the Company’s determination that the Option
granted hereunder has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the
Committee shall, at its sole discretion, cause the Secretary of the Company to
issue certificates in the Optionee’s name for such Shares. The Company shall not
be liable to the Optionee for damages relating to any delays in issuing the
certificates, if any, to the Optionee, any loss of the certificates, or any
mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates
themselves.
     8. Alternative Award for Cancellation of the Option. For purposes of this
Agreement, the payment to the Optionee of an alternative award or an amount in
cash pursuant to the terms of Section 16 of the Plan in consideration of the
cancellation of the Option granted hereunder shall extinguish any rights of the
Optionee in connection with this Agreement.
     9. Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be in writing,
signed by the party giving or making the same, and addressed (a) to the Company
in the care of its President or Secretary at the principal executive office of
the Company in Dallas, Texas, (b) to the Optionee at the address appearing in
the personnel records of the Company for such Optionee or (c) to either party at
such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to
the other. Except as otherwise provided herein, any such notice shall be deemed
effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.
     10. Choice of Law. THE INTERPRETATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND.
     11. Option Subject to Plan. The Option is subject to the Plan. The terms
and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby
incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or
provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable
terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.
     12. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, altered,
suspended, discontinued or terminated by the Committee; provided that no such
amendment, alteration suspension or termination shall materially impair the
rights of the Optionee hereunder without the consent of the Optionee.
     13. Administration of Plan and Agreement. Any determinations or decisions
made or actions taken arising out of or in connection with the interpretation
and administration of the Plan and this Agreement by the Committee shall be

adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number or price
of the Company’s Shares subject to the Award. An Award of Restricted Stock shall
