EXHIBIT A

Separation from Service and Change in Control

(a)    Impact on Vesting of Separation from Service; Change in Control. If the
Grantee has a Separation from Service before any of the vesting date(s)
specified under “Vesting Schedule” in the Notice, then any unvested portion of
the Option shall become vested and exercisable or shall be canceled depending on
the reason for Separation from Service as follows:
 
(i)    Death or Disability. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service due to
the Grantee’s death or Disability, any unvested portion of the Option shall
become immediately vested and exercisable as of the date of such Separation from
Service. In addition, in the event of the Grantee’s death after Separation from
Service due to Special Retirement, any portion of the Option that had not yet
become vested and exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth under
“Vesting Schedule” in the Notice shall become immediately vested and exercisable
as of the date of such death. Following the Grantee’s death, the Option may be
exercised only by the executor or administrator of the Grantee’s estate or, if
there is none, the person entitled to exercise the Option under the Grantee’s
will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following the Grantee’s Separation
from Service due to Disability, if a guardian or conservator has been appointed
to act for the Grantee and been granted this authority as part of that
appointment, that guardian or conservator may exercise the Option on behalf of
the Grantee.
 
(ii)    Special Retirement. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service due to
Special Retirement, the Option shall continue to become vested and exercisable
in accordance with the schedule set forth under “Vesting Schedule” in the Notice
as if the Grantee had not had a Separation from Service, but provided that the
Grantee complies with the requirements of Section 6(m) of the Terms (regarding
compliance with post-employment covenants).

(iii)    Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary but subject to the provisions of Section 15.3.1(i) of the Plan, if (A)
a Change in Control occurs and (B) the Grantee has a Change in Control
Termination, then any unvested portion of the Option shall become immediately
vested and exercisable as of the date of such Change in Control Termination.

(iv)      Any other Separation from Service. If the Grantee has a Separation
from Service for any reason other than as specified in subparagraphs (i) through
(iii) above, any portion of the Option that was not vested and exercisable
pursuant to the schedule specified under “Vesting Schedule” in the Notice as of
the date of the Separation from Service shall be immediately canceled as of the
date of Separation from Service.

(b)    Impact on Exercise Period of Separation from Service.

(i)    General Rule. Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, to the extent the
Option is vested and exercisable as of the date of the Grantee’s Separation from
Service, it shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (A) the 90th day after
the date of Separation from Service or (B) the Expiration Date.

(ii)    Special Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the
provisions of clause (iii) below, in the event of Separation from Service by
reason of Special Retirement, the Option, to the extent vested and exercisable,
shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date, provided that the Grantee
complies with the requirements of Section 6(m) of the Terms (regarding
compliance with post-employment covenants). Notwithstanding the foregoing but
subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below, if the Grantee fails to comply
with the requirements of Section 6(m) of the Terms, the portion of the Option
that was vested and exercisable as of the date of the Grantee’s Separation from
Service shall

1    
Option (Non-Employee Director)

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

remain exercisable until the earlier of (A) the 90th day after the date of
Separation from Service or (B) the Expiration Date.

(iii)    Cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Grantee’s
Separation from Service is for Cause (including a determination by the Company
after the date of the Separation from Service that circumstances constituting
Cause existed at the time of Separation from Service), any outstanding portion
of the Option, whether or not previously vested, shall be immediately cancelled
as of the date of such Separation from Service.

(c)    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
        
“Cause” means Service-related dishonesty, fraud, misconduct or disclosure or
misuse of confidential information, or other employment related conduct that is
likely to cause significant injury to the Company or any of its employees,
officers or directors (including, without limitation, commission of a felony or
similar offense), in each case as determined by the Board. “Cause” shall not
require that a civil judgment or criminal conviction has been entered against or
guilty plea shall have been made by the Grantee regarding any of the matters
referred to in the previous sentence. Accordingly, the Board shall be entitled
to determine “Cause” based on the Board’s good faith belief. If the Grantee is
criminally charged with a felony or similar offense, that shall be a sufficient,
but not a necessary, basis for such belief.
“Change in Control Termination” means the Grantee’s Separation from Service on
or within two years after a Change in Control if such Separation from Service is
by action of the Company.

“Disability” means the status of disability determined conclusively by the
Company based upon certification of disability by the Social Security
Administration or, to the extent compliant with Section 409A, upon such other
proof as the Company may require, effective upon receipt of such certification
or other proof by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is
eligible for Special Retirement as of the date of a Separation from Service due
to Disability, the Separation from Service will be treated as Special Retirement
and not Separation from Service due to Disability.
    
“Special Retirement” means the Grantee’s Separation from Service for any reason
other than death (A) after the Grantee has reached the applicable mandatory
retirement age applicable to Non-Employee Directors or (B) at the end of a term
of office if the Grantee is not nominated for a successive term of office on
account of the fact that the Grantee would have reached the applicable mandatory
retirement age during such successive term of office, regardless of years of
service with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee’s
Separation from Service during the two-year period following a Change in Control
could be treated as either a Special Retirement or a Change in Control
Termination, it shall be treated as a Change in Control Termination to the
extent permitted by Section 409A.

Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company (i)
makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any

other provisions of this Agreement, the Committee shall have the sole discretion
to impose such conditions, restrictions and limitations on the issuance of
shares of Stock with respect to this Award unless and until the Committee

requirements under the Securities Act or the Committee has determined that an
exemption therefrom is available, (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any
stock exchange on which the Stock is listed, (iii) any applicable Company policy
or administrative rules, and (iv) any other applicable provision of state,
federal or foreign law, including foreign securities laws where applicable.
