     Such  exercise  shall  be  effective  upon  receipt by the Treasurer of the
     Company  of  such  written  notice  together with the required payment. The
     Optionee  may  purchase  less  than  the  number  of shares covered hereby,
     provided  that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional
     share  or  for  fewer  than  ten  whole  shares

     at  all  times since the date of grant of this option, an employee, officer
     or  director  of,  or  consultant  or advisor to, the Company (an "Eligible
     Optionee")

            --------------------------------------------------
     ceases  to  be  an  Eligible  Optionee  for  any  reason,  then,  except as
     provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) below, the right to exercise this option
     shall  terminate  one  (1) year after such cessation (but in no event after
     the  Expiration  Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only
     to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise this option on the
     date  of  such  cessation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee,
     prior  to  the  Expiration Date, materially violates the non-competition or
     confidentiality  provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and
     nondisclosure  agreement  or  other  agreement between the Optionee and the

               he or she is an Eligible Optionee, or if the Optionee dies within
               three months after the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Optionee
               (other  than  as the result of a termination of such relationship
               by  the Company for "cause" as specified in paragraph (f) below),
               this  option  shall  be  exercisable,  within the period of three
               years  following  the date of death or disability of the Optionee
               (whether or not such exercise occurs before the Expiration Date),
               by  the  Optionee  or  by  the  person  to  whom  this  option is
               transferred  by  will  or  the  laws of descent and distribution,
               provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent
               that  this  option was exercisable by the Optionee on the date of
               his  or her death or disability. Except as otherwise indicated by
               the  context,  the term "Optionee," as used in this option, shall
               be deemed to include the estate of the Optionee or any person who
               acquires  the  right  to  exercise  this  option  by  Bequest  or
               inheritance  or  otherwise by reason of the death of the Optionee

               (as  defined  below),  the  right  to  exercise this option shall
               terminate  immediately upon such cessation of employment. "Cause"
               shall  mean willful misconduct by the Optionee or willful failure
               to  perform  his or her responsibilities in the best interests of
               the  Company  (including,  without  limitation,  breach  by  the
               Optionee  of  any  provision  of  any  employment,  consulting,
               advisory,  nondisclosure,  non-competition  or  other  similar
               agreement between the Optionee and the Company), as determined by
               the  Company,  which  determination  shall  be  conclusive.  The
               Optionee  shall be considered to have been discharged for "cause"
               if  the  Company  determines, within 30 days after the Optionee's
               resignation,  that  discharge  for  cause  was  warranted.
