    WITNESSETH

     

    WHEREAS,
all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings set forth
in the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"); and

     

    WHEREAS,
the Optionee is now employed by the Company in a key capacity, and the Company
desires to (i) encourage the Optionee to acquire a proprietary and vested
long-term interest in the growth and performance of the Company, (ii) provide
the Optionee with an incentive to enhance the value of the Company for the
benefit of its customers and shareholders, and (iii) encourage the Optionee to
remain in the employ of the Company as one of the key employees upon whom the
Company's success largely depends;

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1.            GRANT. The Company hereby
grants to Optionee, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the Plan, a nonqualified Stock Option (the "Option") and Limited Stock
Appreciation Right (the "Right") in tandem with the Option for and with respect
to 20,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, to be exercised as hereinafter provided.

     

    2.            TERMS AND CONDITIONS. It is
understood and agreed that the Option and Right evidenced hereby are subject to
the following terms and conditions:

     

    


    
      	 
      	
              a.

            	
              Option Period. The
      Option and the Right shall expire ten years from the date
      hereof.

            
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
              b.

            	
              Exercise of Option. The
      Option may be exercised at any time after three years from the date
      hereof, in whole or in part, prior to its termination at a purchase price
      of $24.90 per
      share (the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date hereof). Any
      exercise shall be accompanied by written notice specifying the number of
      shares as to which the Option is being exercised. A partial exercise of
      the Option shall not affect the exercisability of the balance of the
      Option. Upon the exercise or expiration of all or part of the Option, a
      corresponding portion of the Right shall expire.

            
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
              c.

            	
              Payment
      of Purchase Price Upon Exercise. At the time of any
      exercise of the Option, the purchase price therefor shall be paid in cash,
      by delivery of previously-owned shares of Common Stock or any combination
      thereof. If  Common Stock is used in full or partial payment of
      the Option Price, it shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date
      the Option is exercised.

            


    

    
 

    
      
        

      



    


    
      	 
      	
              d.

            	
              Termination
      of Option. The Option shall
      cease to be exercisable at the earliest of (i) the Optionee's purchase of
      the Common Stock to which the Option relates, (ii) the automatic exercise
      of a related Right, or (iii) the lapse of the Option as set forth in
      Section Eight(F) of the Plan.

            
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
              e.

            	
              Limited Stock Appreciation
      Right. In the event of a Change in Control as defined in Section
      Eleven of the Plan, the Company shall pay to the Optionee the cash value
      of the Right as provided for in the Plan. Upon payment of the Right, the
      Option shall expire.

            
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
              f.

            	
              Non-transferability.
      Neither the Option nor the Right shall be transferable other than
      by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
      domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee
      Retirement Security Act, or the rules thereunder.
