                                    RECITALS

If the employment of the Employee with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, as
applicable, terminates (other than for Cause) and the Seventy Year Rule is
satisfied on or before the date of such termination, the employment of such

continued on a full-time basis for purposes of determining the vesting of this
Option under this Section 4.

                  (d)   OTHER EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION. Except as provided by
Section 4(b) and (c) above, in the event that the Employee shall cease being
employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, as applicable, for any reason

portion of this Option shall immediately terminate and never become exercisable

Option, to the extent vested and exercisable under the Agreement, shall remain
fully exercisable until the Expiration Date.

                  (c)   FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE. In the event that the Employee
has rendered at least five (5) Years of Service on or before the date on which

exercisable under the Agreement, shall remain exercisable until the Expiration
Date.

                  (d)   AGE AND YEARS OF SERVICE EQUAL OR EXCEED SEVENTY YEARS.

on the date of such event or until the Expiration Date, whichever is the shorter
period.

                  (f)   TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event that the Employee's
employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, as applicable, terminates for
Cause before, on or after this Option becomes vested and exercisable under the
Agreement, this Option shall automatically terminate and cease to be exercisable
effective as of the close of the day before such event.

         6.       METHOD OF EXERCISE.

                  (a)   Subject to the limitations set forth in the Agreement,
this Option may be exercised by the Employee:

                        (i)     by paying the Stock Option Price as follows:
(A) in cash; (B) in previously owned whole Shares (for which the Employee has
good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances) with an aggregate Fair
Market Value equal to such Stock Option Price; (C) by authorizing the
Corporation to retain whole Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon
exercise of this Option having a Fair Market Value equal to such Stock Option
Price; (D) in cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Corporation to whom the
Employee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise; (E) in such other
manner as the Committee in its Discretion shall determine; or (F) a combination
of the methods described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above, and

                        (ii)    by executing such documents as the Corporation
may reasonably request.

                  (b)   No Shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Option
until the full Stock Option Price has been paid.

         7.       NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be
transferred by the Employee other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. During the Employee's lifetime, this Option is exercisable only by
the Employee or his guardian or legal representative, provided that, if so
determined by the Committee in its Discretion, the Employee may, in a manner
designated by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of
the Employee under this Option upon the death of the Employee. Absent such a
designation, in case of death, such Option shall be exercisable by the executor,
administrator or legal representative of the deceased Employee. Except as
permitted by the foregoing, this Option may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) or subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, or other
disposition of this Option shall be null and void.

         8.       INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The Employee hereby represents and
covenants that, (a) any Option Shares purchased upon exercise of this Option
will be purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act, unless such Option Shares have been
registered under the Securities Act and any applicable

                                       4

<PAGE>

state securities laws; (b) any subsequent sale of any such Option Shares, unless
the issuance thereof has been registered under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws, shall be made either pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the
Corporation, the Employee shall submit a written statement in form satisfactory
to the Corporation, to the effect that such representation (i) is true and
correct as of the date of purchase of any Option Shares hereunder or (ii) is
true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such Option Shares, as
applicable. As a further condition precedent to any exercise of this Option, the
Employee shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory
authority having control of, or supervision over, the issuance of the Option
Shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents which the Board
of Directors or the Committee shall in its Discretion, deem necessary or
advisable.

         9.       WITHHOLDING TAXES.

                  (a)   As a condition precedent to any exercise of this Option,
the Employee shall, upon request by the Corporation, pay to the Corporation in
addition to the purchase price of the Option Shares being purchased, such amount
as the Corporation may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local
or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other
withholding taxes (the "REQUIRED TAX PAYMENTS") with respect to such exercise of
this Option and any related exercise by the Employee of his rights under this
Section 9. If the Employee shall fail to pay to the Corporation the Required Tax
Payments after request by the Corporation, the Corporation or a Subsidiary, as
applicable, through any of their respective officers may deduct any Required Tax
Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Corporation or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, to the Employee.

                  (b)   The Employee may, at his or her election, satisfy his or
her obligation to make the Required Tax Payments by any of the following means:
(i) a cash payment to the Corporation in an amount equal to the Required Tax
Payments; (ii) by surrendering to the Corporation previously owned whole Shares
(for which the Employee has good title, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Required Tax
Payments; (iii) by authorizing the Corporation to retain from the Option Shares
otherwise issuable to the Employee pursuant to the Employee's exercise of this
Option a number of whole Option Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (less
the aggregate Stock Option Price for such retained Shares) equal to the Required
Tax Payments; (iv) a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the
Corporation to whom the Employee has submitted an irrevocable notice of
exercise; (v) by such other arrangements as the Committee in its Discretion
shall determine; or (vi) any combination of the methods described in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. Any fraction of a Share that would be required
to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due
shall be paid in cash by the Employee.

         10.      ADJUSTMENT. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend,
combination of Shares or any other change in the Corporation's common stock, a
dividend or other distribution payable in cash or property, or an exchange of
Shares for other securities, reclassification, reorganization, liquidation or
other similar event, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to either
or both of (a) the number of Shares then remaining available to be issued under
this Option or (b)




                                       5
<PAGE>

the Stock Option Price that will apply to such Option Shares so as to maintain
the intended value of this Option. If any such adjustment would result in a
fractional Share being available for purchase under this Option, such fractional
Share shall be disregarded. The decision of the Committee regarding the amount
and timing of any adjustment under this Section 10 shall be conclusive.

         11.      CHANGE IN CONTROL. In order to maintain the Employee's rights
in the event of any Change in Control of the Corporation, the Committee, as
constituted before such Change in Control, may in its Discretion take any one or
more of the following actions: (a) provide for the acceleration of the vesting
of this Option so that this Option may be exercised in full on or before a date
fixed by the Committee; (b) provide for the repurchase of any such Option, in
whole or in part, upon the Employee's request, for an amount of cash equal to
the Fair Market Value (less the Stock Option Price) of the Option Shares that
could have been purchased by the Employee upon the exercise of such Option had
such Option been currently exercisable; (c) make such adjustment to any such
Option as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control; or
(d) cause any such Option to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by
the acquiring or surviving corporation after such Change in Control. The
foregoing provisions shall be in addition to and shall not limit in any way the
accelerated vesting provisions of Section 4(b) above in the event of such a
Change in Control.

         12.      COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. This Option is subject to the
condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares
subject to this Option upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the
consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action
is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the purchase
or delivery of Shares hereunder, the Option may not be exercised, in whole or in
part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained. The Corporation agrees to make every
reasonable effort to effect or obtain any such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval.

         13.      NO RIGHTS AS COMMON STOCKHOLDER. The Employee shall not be
entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to the Option Shares unless
and until purchased and delivered upon the exercise of this Option, in whole or
in part, and the Employee becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such
delivered Shares; and the Employee shall not be considered a stockholder of the
Corporation with respect to any such Shares not so purchased and delivered.

         14.      NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan or in
the Agreement shall confer upon any individual any right to continue in the
employ of the Corporation or a Subsidiary for a specified period of time or
interfere with the right of such Corporation or Subsidiary, as applicable, to
terminate such employment at any time.

         15.      DECISIONS OF COMMITTEE. The Committee shall have the right to
resolve all questions that may arise in connection with this Option or its
exercise. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the
Committee regarding the Plan or the Agreement shall be final, binding and
conclusive.
