         THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated January 1, 1999, by and between

the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement (as defined below).

         WHEREAS, Optionee and the Company have on the date hereof entered into
an Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") pursuant to which Optionee
shall be employed by the Company; and

         WHEREAS, Optionee would not have entered into the Employment Agreement
but for, among other things, the Company entering into this Agreement; and

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

1.       GRANT OF STOCK OPTION

         Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
hereby grants to the Optionee the option to purchase, at any time prior to 5:00

shares of the authorized but unissued common stock (the "Common Stock") of the
Company (the "Options").

2.       EXERCISE PRICE.

         The Options shall be exercisable at an exercise price of $_____ per
share of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price"). The Optionee shall pay all
transfer taxes, if any, upon the exercise of the Options. The Exercise Price

3.       EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS.

         a. VESTING OF RIGHT TO EXERCISE. The right to exercise the Options

employment of the Optionee is terminated by the Company for Cause or in case of
the death or Disability of the Optionee pursuant to the Employment Agreement,
then all Options which have not vested on or prior to the date of such
termination shall not vest and shall be automatically forfeited by the Optionee
without any further action. Vested options shall be exercisable, in whole or in
part, until the Option Expiration Date, regardless of whether the Optionee 
remains an employee, officer or director of the Company during that period. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options shall automatically vest: (i) upon a
Change in Control, and (ii) if Optionee's employment with the Company is 
terminated by Optionee for Good Reason.

"Change in Control" and "Good Reason" shall have the meanings given to them in
the Employment Agreement.

         b. MANNER OF EXERCISE. The Options granted hereunder as to which the
right to exercise has vested may be exercised by the delivery by the holder
thereof to the Company at its principal office (to the attention of the
Secretary of the Company) of written notice of the number of full shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by
payment in full of the price for such shares of Common Stock: (i) in cash or by
certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by delivery of
shares of Common Stock already owned by the Optionee and having a fair market
value equal to the Exercise Price, or (iii) by a combination of cash and Common
Stock.

         c. TERMINATION. Subject to the vesting provisions in subparagraph 3(a)
above, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Options until the Option
Expiration Date, regardless of whether Optionee is an employee, officer or
director of the Company at the time that he seeks to exercise the Options.

         d. DEATH. Upon the death of the Optionee, the personal representatives,
heirs, legatees or distributees of the Optionee, as appropriate, shall have the
right to exercise all of the Options then exercisable under this Agreement at
any time prior to the Option Expiration Date.

         e. EXERCISE OF VESTED OPTIONS. An Option may not be exercised pursuant
to this SECTION 3 unless the holder was entitled to exercise the Option at the
time of such exercise.

         f. TRANSFER OF OPTIONS. Options granted hereunder which have become
vested pursuant to subparagraph 3(a) above, shall be transferable, so long as
the transferee of the Options agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.

4.       THE OPTIONEE'S INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.

         The Optionee hereby agrees, acknowledges, represents and warrants to
the Company the following:

         a. The Optionee is acquiring the Options hereunder for investment
purposes only and without the intent toward the further sale and/or distribution
thereof. In addition, the Optionee hereby agrees, acknowledges, represents and
warrants, that in the event of the exercise of any of the Options hereunder, the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options (the "Option
Shares") shall be acquired for investment purposes only and without the intent
toward the further sale and/or distribution thereof.

         b. Unless the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options are
registered in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and with other applicable securities laws,
the certificates evidencing the Option Shares


                                        2


<PAGE>



will bear a restrictive legend with respect to the sale or transfer thereof. Any
subsequent sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of the Option Shares, must
be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Act, and with
other applicable securities laws or pursuant to an applicable exemption from
such registration requirements, in the opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.

         c. The Optionee is familiar with the business and financial condition
of the Company, and the Optionee has been afforded the opportunity to ask all
relevant questions of the Company's management with respect to the business and
financial condition of the Company. The Optionee further agrees to re-assert any
of said representations and warranties and to make any other representations and
warranties, as reasonably requested by the Company, as of the date of exercise
of any of said Options.

         d. The Optionee hereby further acknowledges, agrees, represents and
warrants that the issuance of the Option Shares upon the exercise of the Options
is conditioned, in part, upon the compliance with applicable securities laws.
The Optionee agrees to deliver to the Company any reasonable documentation
requested with respect thereto and further acknowledges and agrees that any said
exercise of the Options and the issuance of the Option Shares may only be
effectuated provided said exercise is in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. In addition, the Optionee further acknowledges that the Company is
relying upon the representations and warranties of the Optionee hereunder with
respect to compliance by the Company with applicable securities laws and
regulations.

5.       ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

         a. In the event of a merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in corporate
structure affecting the shares of Common Stock of the Company, such adjustment
shall be made in the number of Option Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be
correspondingly adjusted to equitably reflect such change.

         b. Any adjustment in the number of Option Shares shall apply
proportionately to only the unexercised portion of the Options granted
hereunder. If fractions of an Option Share would result from any such
adjustment, the adjustment shall be revised to the next lower whole number of
Option Shares.

6.       NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.

         The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with
respect to the Option Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options granted
hereunder that have not been exercised and for which payment in full of the
applicable Exercise Price has not been made as provided herein.

Registration Statement to register the Option Shares for public sale. Such
registration statement will be filed within 6 months after the date of this

Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such listing, qualification and
compliance.

         b. WITHHOLDINGS. The Company may make such provisions and take such
steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes

9.       MISCELLANEOUS.

         a. INDULGENCES, ETC. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of
either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor
shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is
in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

         b. CONTROLLING LAW. This Agreement and all questions relating to its
