exercise of the Option to comply with any applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without intending any
limitation, any amendment which would exempt such exercise from the operation of
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Except as otherwise provided
herein, this Agreement may not be amended or modified except pursuant to an
agreement in writing signed by the Corporation and the Optionee.

     Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall remit to the Corporation an amount

his FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise
of the Option.
