following section at the end of the Option award agreement immediately before
the signature provision, if any:

“Adjustment Due to Corporate Change. In the event of changes in the Company’s
outstanding Stock by reason of a Corporate Change occurring after the date of
the grant of this Award, this Option shall be subject to adjustment by the Board
as to the number and purchase price of shares of Stock subject to this Option so
that such Option shall thereafter cover securities of the acquiring person as
determined by the Board. Any adjustment pursuant to this provision shall be made
in a manner that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the
regulatory guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding the preceding, no such
adjustments may materially change the value of benefits available to the
Director under this Agreement.”

     The Director and the Company agree that the June 1st Amendments are null
and void. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment effective
