GRANTING OF STOCK OPTIONS

conformity with the provisions of Article IV hereof.

 

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

 

ARTICLE IV
STOCK OPTIONS

 

4.1          Stock Option. The Stock Option shall be evidenced by Stock Option
agreements in such form and not inconsistent with the Plan as the Plan Committee
shall in its sole discretion approve from time to time, which agreements shall
specify the number of shares to which they pertain and the purchase price of
such shares and shall, but without limitation, contain in substance the
following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Option Period. Each Stock Option granted shall expire and all rights to
purchase shares thereunder shall cease ten years and one day after the Date of
Grant of the Stock Option or on such date prior thereto as may be fixed by the
Plan Committee, or on such date prior thereto as is provided by this Plan in the
event of reorganization pursuant to Section 7.6(b) hereof. No Stock Option shall
permit the purchase of any shares thereunder during the first year after the
Date of Grant of such Stock Option, except as provided in Section 4.2 hereof.

 

(b) Transferability and Termination of Options. During the lifetime of an
individual to whom a Stock Option is granted, the Stock Option may be exercised
only by such individual and shall terminate at the earlier of i) five years
after the date the Participant ceased to be a director of Company or, ii) ten
years and one day after the Date of Grant of the Stock Option. Rights of a
Participant may, upon the death of a Participant, be exercised or perfected by
his/her duly designated beneficiary or otherwise by his/her applicable legal
representatives, heirs or legatees to the extent vested in and unexercised or
perfected by the Participant at the date of his/her death. Provided however,
that if a Participant dies, the Stock Option must be exercised within five years
after the date of death or the life of the Stock Option, whichever is less, but
in no event less than one year after the date of death.

 

No Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable by the individual to whom it
is granted, except that it may be transferable (X) by assignment by the
Participant to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement, or (Y) by
will or the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with the provisions
of this Plan. A Stock Option transferred after the death of the Participant to
whom it is granted may only be exercised by such individual’s beneficiary
designated to exercise the Stock Option or otherwise by his/her applicable legal
representatives, heirs or legatees, and only within the specific time period set
forth above.

 

In no event, whether by the Participant directly or by his/her proper assignee
or beneficiary or other representative, shall any Stock Option be exercisable at
any time after its expiration date as stated in the Stock Option agreement. When
a Stock Option is no longer exercisable it shall be deemed for all purposes and
without further act to have lapsed and terminated.

 

(c) Exercise of Options. An individual entitled to exercise a Stock Option may,
subject to its terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of the Plan,
exercise it in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, by delivery to
the Company at its principal office

 

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

 

of written notice of exercise, specifying the number of whole shares with
respect to which the Stock Option is being exercised. Before shares may be
issued payment must be made in full, in legal United States tender, in the
amount of the purchase price of the shares to be purchased at the time and any
amounts for withholding, if any, as provided in Section 7.7 hereof; provided,
however, in lieu of paying for the exercise price in cash as described above,
the individual may pay all or part of such exercise price by delivering owned
and unencumbered shares of the Company common stock having a Fair Market Value
on the date of exercise of the Stock Option equal to or less than the exercise
price of the Stock Options exercised, with cash, as set forth above, for the
remainder, if any, of the purchase price.

 

4.2          Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all
outstanding Stock Options granted under the Plan shall accelerate and will be
exercisable in full for a period of two hundred ten (210) days after the Change
in Control; provided that no Stock Option shall be exercisable by a Participant
after the termination date of the Stock Option.

 

ARTICLE V
SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

5.1          The total number of shares that may be available for issuance under
all Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate
100,000 shares of the Company’s $1.00 par value common stock. Stock Options
which are forfeited for any reason or are not distributed or are covered by
Stock Options that lapse or are canceled before exercise, shall (unless the Plan
shall have been terminated) again be available in the same relative amounts for
other Stock Option grants under the Plan.

 

ARTICLE VI
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

6.1          The Plan will be administered by a committee of two or more members
of the Board appointed from time to time by the Board. Each member of the
committee shall be a “disinterested person” as that term is defined under
Rule 16b-3, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or any successor statute or regulation comprehending the same subject matter.

 

6.2          The Plan Committee shall have and exercise all of the powers and
responsibilities granted expressly or by implication to it by the provisions of
the Plan. Subject to and as limited by such provisions, the Plan Committee may
from time to time enact, amend and rescind such rules, regulations and
procedures with respect to the administration of the Plan as it deems
appropriate or convenient. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Plan,
the Plan Committee shall have no discretion with respect to the granting of
Stock Options to any Participant or to alter or amend any terms, conditions and
eligibility requirements of a Stock Option granted or to be granted to any
Participant under this Plan, it being understood that the granting and terms,
conditions and eligibility requirements of such Stock Options are governed
solely by the provisions set forth in this Plan pertaining thereto.

 

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

 

6.3          All questions arising under the Plan or any Stock Option agreement,
or any rule, regulation or procedure adopted by the Plan Committee shall be
determined by the Plan Committee, and its determination thereof shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties.

 

6.4          Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Plan Committee
under the Plan shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of
the members of the Plan Committee. A majority of all members of the Plan
Committee shall constitute a “quorum” for Plan Committee business. The Plan
Committee may act by written determination instead of by affirmative vote at a
meeting, provided that any written determination shall be signed by all members
of the Plan Committee, and any such written determination shall be as fully
effective as a majority vote of a quorum at a meeting.

 

ARTICLE VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

7.1          Amendment or Termination. The Board may at any time amend, suspend,
discontinue or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment by the
Board shall, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company:

 

(a) except as provided at Section 2.10 hereof increase the total number of
shares of Company common stock which may be made subject to the Plan; or

 

(b) except as provided at Section 2.10 hereof change the purchase price of
Company common stock under the Plan; or

 

(c) change the Date of Grant; or

 

(d) change the calculation used to determine the number of Stock Options granted
on the Date of Grant.

 

No action taken pursuant to this Section 7.1 of the Plan shall, without the
consent of a Participant, adversely affect any Stock Options which have been
previously granted to a Participant. Provisions relating to Stock Options may
not be amended more often than once every six months other than to comport with
changes in the Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, or the rules thereunder.

 

7.2          Non-Alienation of Rights and Benefits. Except as expressly provided
herein, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation,
alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any attempt to
anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be
void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject
to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such
right or benefit. If any Participant or beneficiary hereunder should become
bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or
charge any right or benefit hereunder, then such right or benefit shall, in the
sole discretion of the Plan Committee, cease and in such event the Company may
hold or apply the same or any or no part thereof for the benefit of the
Participant or beneficiary, his/her spouse, children

 

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

 

or other dependents or any of them in any such manner and in such proportion as
the Plan Committee in its sole discretion may deem proper.

 

7.3          No Rights as Shareholder. The granting of Stock Option(s) under the
Plan shall not entitle a Participant or any other person succeeding to his/her
rights, to any dividend, voting or other right as a shareholder of the Company
unless and until the issuance of a stock certificate to the Participant or such
other person pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and then only subsequent to
the date of issuance thereof.

 

7.4          Government Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Plan seemingly to the contrary, the obligation of the Company with respect to

all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by any government
agencies as may be required or deemed by the Board or Plan Committee as
reasonably necessary or appropriate for the protection of the Company.

 

In connection with any sale, issuance or transfer hereunder, the Participant
acquiring the shares shall, if requested by the Company give assurances
satisfactory to counsel of the Company that the shares are being acquired for
investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof and assurances
in respect of such other matters as the Company may deem desirable to assure
compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

 

7.5          Effective Date. Subject to the approval of this Plan by the holders
of a majority of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote at
the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held May 24, 1995 and any
necessary approval being obtained from any department, board or agency of the
United States or states having jurisdiction, the Plan shall be effective as of
May 24, 1995.

 

7.6          Reorganization. In case the Company is merged or consolidated with
another corporation, or in case the property or stock of the Company is acquired
by another corporation, or in case of a separation, reorganization or
liquidation of the Company, the Plan Committee or a comparable committee of any
corporation assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder, shall either:

 

(a) make appropriate provision for the protection of any outstanding Stock
Options granted thereunder by the substitution on an equitable basis of
appropriate stock of the Company, or of the merged, consolidated or otherwise
reorganized corporation which will be issuable in respect to the shares of the
Company’s $1.00 par value common stock.

 

(b) upon written notice to the Participant, provide that all outstanding Stock
Options shall accelerate and become exercisable in full but that all outstanding
Stock Options, whether or not exercisable prior to such acceleration, must be
exercised within not less than sixty days of the date of such notice or they
will be terminated. In any such case the Plan Committee may, in its discretion,
extend the sixty day- exercise period.

 

7.7          Withholding Taxes, etc. All distributions under the Plan shall be
subject to any required withholding taxes and other withholdings and, in case of
distributions in Company

 

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

 

common stock, the Participant or other recipient may, as a condition precedent
to the delivery of the common stock, be required to pay to the Company the
excess, if any, of the amount of required withholding over the withholdings, if
any, from any distributions in cash under the Plan. No distribution under the
Plan shall be made in fractional shares of the Company’s common stock, but the
proportional market value thereof shall be paid in cash.

 

7.8          General Restriction. Each Stock Option shall be subject to the
requirement that, if at any time the Board shall determine, in its discretion,
that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such
Stock Option upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal Law, or
the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with the granting of such Stock
Option or the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, such Stock Option may not
be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of
any conditions not acceptable to the Board.

 

7.9          Use of Proceeds. The proceeds derived from the sale of the stock
pursuant to Stock Options granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds
of the Company.
