personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee's
will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

provided, however, that each partial exercise shall be for not less than one
hundred (100) shares and shall be for whole shares only.

    exercised, which payment shall be (i) in cash, (ii) through the delivery of
    shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee for at least six months, duly
    endorsed for transfer to the Company with a Fair Market Value on the date
    of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or
    exercised portion thereof, or (iii) subject to the timing requirements of
    Section 5.3 of the Plan, through any combination of the consideration
    provided in the foregoing subparagraphs (i) or (ii); and

    advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of the
    Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any other federal or state
    securities laws or regulations.  The Board may also take whatever
    additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including
    (without limitation) placing legends on share certificates and issuing
    stop-transfer notices to agents and registrars;

    Company (or to such other person who may be designated by the Board) to
    elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise
    issuable upon the exercise of the Option.  Shares of Common Stock so
    withheld will be credited against this tax obligation at their Fair Market
    Value; and

(e) In the event the Option or portion shall be exercised pursuant to Section
    4.1 by any person or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of
    the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.

SECTION 4.4 - CONDITIONS TO ISSUANCE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES

    The shares of stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any
portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or
issued shares which have then been repurchased by the Company.  Such shares
shall be fully paid and non-assessable.  The Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of stock purchased
upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all
of the following conditions:

    such class of stock is then listed; and

    under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the

    body, which the Board shall deem necessary or advisable; and

(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal
    governmental agency which the Board shall determine to be necessary or
    advisable; and

(d) The payment to the Company (or other employer corporation) of all amounts
    which, under federal, state or local tax law, it is required to withhold
    upon exercise of the Option; and

(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the
    Option as the Board may from time to time establish for reasons of
    administrative convenience.

SECTION 4.5 - RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER

    The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or
privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any shares purchasable
upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until certificates

rights under the Plan after his death.  Neither the Option nor any interest or
right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or
engagements of the Optionee or his successors in interest or shall be subject to
disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance,
assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or

any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any
attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; PROVIDED,

then deceased, be given to the Optionee's personal representative if such
representative has previously informed the Company of his status and address by
written notice under this Section 5.4.  Any notice shall be deemed duly given
when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid,
deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office
