                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     1. The Company agrees that the Optionee has the right to purchase the
     number of Shares set forth above for the price stated.


     2. The Optionee agrees to continue as an employee of the Company or one of
     its subsidiaries for one year from the date of the option (subject to the
     employing company's right to terminate the Optionee's employment at any
     time), performing such duties consistent with Optionee's capabilities and
     receiving present compensation or such adjusted compensation as the
     employing company shall from time to time reasonably determine. If the
     terms of the Optionee's employment are changed in a manner materially
     adverse to the Optionee during such period, the Optionee shall be relieved
     of any further obligation to remain employed.


     3. The option will be divided into and become exercisable in three separate
     installments, each installment equal to one-third (1/3) of the total Number
     of Shares Subject to Purchase (the total set forth above). The first
     installment shall first become exercisable on January 28, 2006; the second
     installment shall first become exercisable on January 28, 2007; and, the
     third installment shall first become exercisable on January 28, 2008. Each
     such installment may be exercised in whole or in part on or after the date
     specified above on which such installment first becomes exercisable and
     must be exercised, if at all, on or before (a) January 28, 2015, (b) the
     date three years after the date upon which the Optionee Retires ("Retires"
     shall mean terminates employment with the Company or one of its
     subsidiaries by reason of Retirement -- Retirement shall be deemed to occur
     only under conditions which entitle the Optionee to an immediately
     receivable pension, and not a deferred vested pension), or (c) the date
     three years after the Optionee dies while employed, whichever first occurs.
     Unless otherwise determined by the Human Resources Committee, the option
     period shall also terminate and all rights to exercise the option shall
     terminate in the event the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company
     or any of its subsidiaries for any cause other than death or Retirement.
     The Human Resources Committee may cancel the option by written notice to
     the Optionee after the Optionee Retires prior to age 65 or after the
     Optionee Retires at any age and the Committee deems such cancellation to be
     in the best interests of the Company. The Optionee agrees to return the
     option to the Company for cancellation.


     4. During the Optionee's lifetime, the option may be exercised only by the
     Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. Upon the
     Optionee's death, the option may be transferred by will or by the laws
     governing the descent and distribution of the Optionee's estate. Otherwise,
     the option may not be transferred, pledged or encumbered and, in the event
     of an attempt to transfer, pledge or encumber it, the Human Resources
     Committee may cancel it.


     5. The option is not valid unless it is accepted by the Optionee and a
     duplicate original thereof is received by the Stock Option Officer. In the
     event of the exercise of the option in whole, the option shall be
     surrendered to the Stock Option Officer for cancellation. In the event of
     the exercise of the option in part or of a change in the number of shares
     optioned, the option shall be delivered by the Optionee to the Stock Option
     Officer for the purpose of making appropriate notation thereon, or of
     otherwise reflecting in such manner as the Human Resources Committee shall
     determine, the change in the number of shares optioned.


     6. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
     laws of the State of Ohio, without resort to that state's conflict of law
     rules. This agreement is the entire agreement between the parties with
     respect to the option. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall
     have the meaning attributed to them in the Plan or the administrative
