4.2  Shares
      that are vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 4.1 hereof are
      "Vested Shares."





**5.**  **Termination** **.**





5.1  Termination
      for Any Reason Except Death, Disability or Cause .
      If
      Optionee is Terminated for any reason (including if the Optionee voluntarily
      terminates [employment by /services for] the Company) except Optionee’s death,
      Disability or Cause, then this Option, to the extent (and only to the extent)
      that it is vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 4.1
      hereof on the Termination Date, may be exercised by Optionee no later than
      three
      (3) months after the Termination Date, (or such longer time period not exceeding
      five (5) years as may be determined by the Committee, with any exercise beyond
      three (3) months after the Termination Date deemed to be a NSO), but in any
      event no later than the Expiration Date.





5.2  Termination
      Because of Death or Disability .
      If
      Optionee is Terminated because of death or Disability of Optionee, then this
      Option, to the extent that it is vested in accordance with the schedule set
      forth in Section 4.1 hereof on the Termination Date, may be exercised by
      Optionee (or Optionee's legal representative or authorized assignee) no later
      than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date (or such longer time period
      not exceeding five (5) years as may be determined by the Committee, with any
      such exercise beyond twelve (12) months after the Termination Date when the
      Termination is for Participant's death or Disability, deemed to be a NSO),
      but
      in any event no later than the Expiration Date. Any exercise after three months
      after the Termination Date when the Termination is for any reason other than
      Optionee's disability, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code,
      shall
      be deemed to be the exercise of a nonqualified stock option.





5.3  Termination
      for Cause .
      If an
      Optionee is terminated for Cause, neither the Optionee, the Optionee's estate
      nor such other person who may then hold the Option shall be entitled to exercise
      any Option with respect to any Shares whatsoever, after termination of service,
      whether or not after termination of service the Optionee may receive payment
      from the Company or Subsidiary for vacation pay, for services rendered prior
      to
      termination, for services rendered for the day on which termination occurs,
      for
      salary in lieu of notice, or for any other benefits. In making such
      determination, the Committee shall give the Optionee an opportunity to present
      to the Committee evidence on his behalf. For the purpose of this paragraph,
      termination of service shall be deemed to occur on the date when the Company
      dispatches notice or advice to the Optionee that Optionee's service is
      terminated.





For
      purposes of this Agreement, Termination for Cause means that the Company has
      cause to terminate an Optionee's employment or service under any existing
      employment, consulting or any other agreement between the Optionee and the
      Company or, if such an agreement does not exist, upon finding that (i) the
      Optionee has ceased to perform his duties (other than as a result of his
      incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury), which constitutes
      an
      intentional or extended neglect of his/her duties, (ii) the Optionee has engaged
      or is about to engage in conduct materially injurious to the Company or (iii)
      the Optionee has been convicted of a felony.


2








For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” means a disability,
      whether temporary or permanent, partial or total, as determined in good faith
      by
      the Committee.





For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Termination” or “Terminated” means, for purposes of
      this Plan with respect to a Participant, that the Participant has for any reason
      ceased to provide services as an Employee or Consultant to the Company or a
      Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee will not be deemed to have ceased to
      provide services in the case of (i) sick leave, (ii) military leave, or (iii)
      any other leave of absence approved by the Committee, provided, that such leave
      is for a period of not more than 90 days, unless re-employment upon the
      expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute or unless provided
      otherwise pursuant to formal policy adopted from time to time by the Company
      and
      issued and promulgated to Employees in writing. In the case of any Employee
      on
      an approved leave of absence, the Committee may make such provisions respecting
      suspension of vesting of the Award while on leave from the employ of the Company
      or a Subsidiary as it may deem appropriate, except that in no event may an
      Option be exercised after the expiration of the term set forth in the option
      agreement. The Committee will have sole discretion to determine whether a
      Participant has ceased to provide services and the effective date on which
      the
      Participant ceased to provide services (the “Termination Date”).





5.4  No
      Obligation to Employ .
      Nothing
      in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on Optionee any right to continue
      in
      the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company, a Subsidiary or an
      Affiliate, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate or
      Subsidiary of the Company to terminate Optionee's employment or other
      relationship at any time, with or without Cause. This Agreement does not
      constitute an employment contract. This Agreement does not guarantee employment
      for the length of time of the Vesting Schedule or for any portion
      thereof.





**6.**  **Manner
      of Exercise** **.**





6.1  Stock
      Option Exercise Procedures .
      To
      exercise this Option, Optionee (or in the case of exercise after Optionee's
      death, Optionee's executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may
      be)
      must follow such exercise procedures as may be established by the Committee
      from
      time to time in its sole discretion. Such procedures may include requiring
      that
      the Optionee provide certain information including, inter alia, Optionee's
      election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares being purchased, any
      restrictions imposed on the Shares and any representations, warranties and
      agreements regarding Optionee's investment intent and access to information
      as
      may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If
      someone other than Optionee exercises this Option, then such person may be
      required to submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company that
      such
      person has the right to exercise this Option.





6.2  Limitations
      on Exercise .
      This
      Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with all
      applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the
      date
      of exercise.





6.3  Payment .
      An
      exercise of this Option shall be accompanied by full payment of the aggregate
      Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased (a) in cash (by check), or (b)
      provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists: (1) through a
      "same day sale" commitment from Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member
      of
      the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby
      Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to sell a portion of
      the
      Shares so purchased to pay for the aggregate Exercise Price and whereby the
      NASD
      Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the aggregate
      Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (2) through a "margin" commitment
      from Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise
      this Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin
      account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
      aggregate Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon
      receipt of such Shares to forward the aggregate Exercise Price directly to
      the
      Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors or the Committee,
      in their sole discretion, may allow for the full payment of the aggregate
      Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased to be made by any other method
      which is in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

6.4  Tax
      Withholding .
      Prior
      to the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this Option, Optionee must pay
      or
      provide for any applicable federal or state withholding obligations of the
      Company. If the Committee permits, Optionee may provide for payment of
      withholding taxes upon exercise of this Option by requesting that the Company
      retain Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes
      required to be withheld determined on the date that the amount of tax to be
      withheld is to be determined. In such case, the Company shall issue the net
      number of Shares to the Optionee by deducting the Shares retained from the
      Shares issuable upon exercise.





6.5  Issuance
      of Shares .
      Provided that both the exercise procedures established by the Committee and
      payment are in manner, form and substance satisfactory to the Company, and
      upon
      the Company’s request to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the
      Shares registered in the name of Optionee, Optionee's authorized assignee,
      or
      Optionee's legal representative, and shall deliver certificates representing
      the
      Shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.





**7.**  **Notice
      of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares** **.** To the
      extent this Option is an ISO, if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any
      of
      the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (a) the date
      two (2) years after the Grant Date, and (b) the date one (1) year after transfer
      of such Shares to Optionee upon exercise of this Option, then Optionee shall
      immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition.





**8.**  **Compliance
      With Laws and Regulations** **.** The
      exercise of this Option and the issuance and transfer of Shares to the Optionee
      shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Optionee with (i) all
      applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws, (ii) all
      applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's Common
      Stock may be listed and (iii) any applicable policy of the Company regarding
      the
      trading of securities of the Company, each at the time of such issuance and
      transfer. Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to
      register or qualify the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
      any
      state securities commission or any stock exchange or market to effect such
      compliance.





**9.**  **Nontransferability
      of Option** .
      This
      Option may not be transferred in any manner other than transfers by will or
      by
      the laws of descent and distribution or to members of the Optionee’s immediate
      family, to trusts solely for the benefit of such immediate family members and
      to
      partnerships or limited liability companies in which such family members and/or
      trusts are the only partners or members, as the case may be. For this purpose,
      “immediate family” means the Optionee’s spouse, parents, children, stepchildren,
      grandchildren and legal dependants. Any transfer of Options made under this
      provision will not be effective until notice of such transfer is delivered
      to
      the Company. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
      administrators, successors and assigns of Optionee.





**10.**  **Privileges
      of Stock Ownership** **.** Optionee
      shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares
      until the Shares are issued to Optionee.





**11.**  **Interpretation** **.** Any
      dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by
      Optionee or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such
      a
      dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and
      Optionee.

      exercise procedures as may be established by the Committee constitute the entire

      Law** **.** This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of

      by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan under which this Option was
      granted, as the same shall have been amended, restated or otherwise modified
      from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Pursuant to said Plan,

      form is available for inspection during the business hours by the Optionee
      or
      other persons entitled to exercise this Option at the Company's principal
      office. Optionee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon
      exercise of this Option or disposition of the Shares and that the Company has
      advised Optionee to consult a tax advisor prior to such exercise or
      disposition.





**17.**  **Covenants
      of the Optionee**





The
      Optionee agrees (and for any heir, executor, administrator, legal
      representative, successor, or assignee hereby agrees), as a condition upon
      exercise of the Option granted hereunder:





(a)  Upon
      the
      request of the Committee, to execute and deliver a certificate, in form
      satisfactory to the Committee, certifying that the Shares being acquired upon
      exercise of the Option are for such person's own account for investment only
      and
      not with any view to or present intention to resell or distribute the same.
      The
      Optionee hereby agrees that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver
      the
      Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option unless and until such certificate
      shall be executed and delivered to the Company by the Optionee or any
      successor.





(b)  Upon
      the
      request of the Committee, to execute and deliver a certificate, in form
      satisfactory to the Committee, certifying that any subsequent resale or
      distribution of the Shares by the Optionee shall be made only pursuant to either
      (i) a Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act
      of
      1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which Registration Statement has become
      effective and is current with regard to the Shares being sold, or (ii) a
      specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
      but
      in claiming such exemption the Optionee shall, prior to any offer of sale or
      sale of such Shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion of counsel, in
      form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, as to the
      application of such exemption thereto. The foregoing restriction contained
      in
      this subparagraph (b) shall not apply to (i) issuances by the Company so long
      as
      the Shares being issued are registered under the Securities Act and a prospectus
      in respect thereof is current, or (ii) re-offerings of Shares by Affiliates
      of
      the Company (as defined in Rule 405 or any successor rule or regulation
      promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Shares being re-offered are
      registered under the Securities Act and a prospectus in respect thereof is
      current.


5








(c)  That
      certificates evidencing Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option shall
      bear
      a legend, in form satisfactory to counsel for the Company, manifesting the
      investment intent and resale restrictions of the Optionee described in this
      Section.





(d)  That
      upon
      exercise of the Option granted hereby, or upon sale of the Shares purchased
      upon
      exercise of the Option, as the case may be, the Company shall have the right
      to
      require the Optionee to remit to the Company, or in lieu thereof, the Company
      may deduct, an amount of shares or cash sufficient to satisfy federal, state
      or
      local withholding tax requirements, if any, prior to the delivery of any
      certificate for such Shares or thereafter, as appropriate.





**18.**  **Obligations
      of the Company**





18.1  Upon
      the
      exercise of this Option in whole or in part, the Company shall cause the
      purchased Shares to be issued only when it shall have received the full payment
      of the aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement.





18.2  The
      Company shall cause certificates for the Shares as to which the Option shall
      have been exercised to be registered in the name of the person or persons
      exercising the Option, which certificates shall be delivered by the Company
      to
      the Optionee only against payment of the full Exercise Price in accordance
      with
      the terms of this Agreement for the portion of the Option exercised.





18.3  In
      the
      event that the Optionee shall exercise this Option with respect to less than
      all
      of the Shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the terms hereof,
      the
      Company shall issue to the Optionee a new Option, duly executed by the Company
      and the Optionee, in form and substance identical to this Option, for the
      balance of Shares of Common Stock then issuable pursuant to the terms of this
      Option.





18.4  Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor its transfer
      agent shall be required to issue any fraction of a Share of Common Stock in
      connection with the exercise of this Option, and the Company shall, upon
      exercise of this Option in whole or in part, issue the largest number of whole
      Shares of Common Stock to which this Option is entitled upon such full or
      partial exercise and shall return to the Optionee the amount of the aggregate
      Exercise Price paid by the Optionee in respect of any fractional
      Share.





18.5  The
      Company may endorse such legend or legends upon the certificates for Shares
      issued to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan and may issue such "stop transfer"
      instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such Shares as, in its
      discretion, it determines to be necessary or


appropriate
      to: (i) prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the
      registration requirements of the Securities Act; (ii) implement the provisions
      of the Plan and any agreement between the Company and the Optionee with respect
      to such Shares; or (iii) permit the Company to determine the occurrence of
      a
      disqualifying disposition, as described in Section 421(b) of the Code, of Shares
      transferred upon exercise of an incentive stock option granted pursuant to
      this
      Agreement and under the Plan.

      Company shall pay all issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issuance
      or
      transfer of Shares to the Optionee, as well as all fees and expenses necessarily
      incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance or transfer, except
      fees and expenses which may be necessitated by the filing or amending of a
      Registration Statement under the Securities Act, which fees and expenses shall
      be borne by the Optionee, unless such Registration Statement under the
      Securities Act has been filed by the Company for its own corporate purposes
      (and
      the Company so states) in which event the Optionee shall bear only such fees
      and
      expenses as are attributable solely to the inclusion of the Shares he or she
      receives in the Registration Statement.





18.7  All
      Shares issued following exercise of the Option and the payment of the Exercise
      Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement therefore shall be fully
      paid and non-assessable to the extent permitted by law.





**19.**  **Miscellaneous**





19.1  If
      the
      Optionee loses this Agreement representing the Option granted hereunder, or
      if
      this Agreement is stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, subject to such
      reasonable terms as to indemnity as the Committee, in its sole discretion shall
      require, enter into a new option agreement pursuant to which the Company shall
      issue a new Option, in form and substance identical to this Option, and in
      substitution for, the Option so lost, stolen or destroyed, and in the event
      this
      Agreement representing the Option shall be mutilated, the Company shall, upon
      the surrender hereof, enter into a new option agreement pursuant to which the
      Company shall issue a new Option, in form and substance identical to this
      Option, and in substitution for, the Option so mutilated.





19.2  This
      Agreement cannot be amended, supplemented or changed, and no provision hereof
      can be waived, except by a written instrument making specific reference to
      this
      Agreement and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such
      amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. A waiver of any right
      derived hereunder by the Optionee shall not be deemed a waiver of any other
      right derived hereunder.




19.3  This
      Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all counterparts
      will together constitute but one agreement.





19.4  In
      the
      event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
      the
      Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall govern.





19.5  Any
      dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by
      Optionee or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such
      a
      dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and
      Optionee.
