 --------
forfeiture and are nontransferable. The undersigned desires to make an election
to have the Interests taxed under the provision of Code (S)83(b) at the time the
undersigned purchased the Interests.

          Therefore, pursuant to Code (S)83(b) and Treasury Regulation (S)1.83-2

to the Interests (described below), to report as taxable income for calendar
year 1999 the excess (if any) of the Interests' fair market value on the date

repurchase by the Company at cost. If the undersigned ceases to be employed by
the Employer (except for certain circumstances) prior to January 1, 2000,

                                      A-1
<PAGE>

then all of the Interests will be subject to repurchase by the Company at cost;
if such cessation of the undersigned's employment occurs prior to January 1,
2004, then not less than 25% of the Interests will be subject to repurchase by
the Company at cost.

     5.   The fair market value on the date hereof of the property with respect
to which the election is being made, determined without regard to any lapse
restrictions: $.3856 per Interest.

     6.   The amount paid for such property: $.3856 per Interest.
