Day.

The value of any fractional share shall be paid in cash.

         (c) Any Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an

in Section 4(b).

         (e) The term of each Option shall be ten years from the Grant Date.

         (f) Options shall be vested and non-forfeitable on the Grant Date and
be fully exercisable on the earliest of (i) the date which is six (6) months
after the Grant Date, (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control and (iii) the
death of a Participant (any of the foregoing the "Exercise Date").

         (g) Except as provided in this Section 6(g), an Option is not

more members of the Participant's immediate family, to a partnership of which

<PAGE>   7
                                      -7-

immediate family or to a trust established by the Participant for the benefit of
one or more members of such immediate family (each such transferee a "Permitted
Transferee"). For purposes of this Section 6(g), "immediate family" means a
Participant's spouse, parents, children, grandchildren and spouses of children
and grandchildren (including adopted children and grandchildren, as the case may
be). A Permitted Transferee may not further transfer the Option. An Option
transferred pursuant to this Section 6(g) shall remain subject to all of the
provisions of the Plan and any Agreement with respect to such Option and may not
be exercised by a Permitted Transferee unless and until all legal or regulatory
approvals, listings, registrations, qualifications or other clearances as
determined by the Company to be required or appropriate have been obtained.

         (h) A Participant may, in accordance with procedures established by the
Company, designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all of his or her rights
to any unexercised Option and may change or revoke such designation at any time.
In the event of the death of the Participant, any Option or portion thereof
which is subject to such a designation shall be exercisable (to the extent such
designation is determined by the Company to be valid, effective and enforceable)
by the designated person or persons in accordance with this Plan and any
Agreement. Such determination by the Company shall be final and binding on all
Persons, and the Company shall have no liability with respect to any Person with
respect to such determination.

         (i) Any Option may be exercised by the Participant in whole or in part
at any time on or after the Exercise Date and before the expiration of such
Option. The Participant shall make payment of the Option price in cash or in
Shares with a Fair Market Value equivalent to the exercise price for all of the
Shares to be purchased upon exercise of the Option. The Committee may permit the
deferral under the Deferral Plan of any gain upon the exercise of an Option by a
Participant who then is actively serving on the Board, subject to such rules and
procedures as it may establish to be held in the Company Shares portion of such
Participant's account.


         SECTION 7. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION. The Board may amend, alter or
discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be
made that would impair the rights of a Participant under an Option theretofore
granted, without the Participant's consent, or that without the approval of the
shareholders would:

and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then
listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Company may
cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate

applicable requirements under the Federal securities laws, any applicable
listing requirements of any national securities exchange and requirements under
any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery of such
Shares, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any Shares if

construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Company,
materially altering the intent of the Plan, it shall be stricken and the
remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
