	Exercise of Option. 



        (a)    Form of Exercise.    Each election to exercise this Option shall be in writing, signed by the Participant, and
received by the Company at its principal office, accompanied by this agreement, and payment in
full in the manner provided in the Plan. The Participant may purchase fewer than all of the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this Option may be for any fractional
share. 


        (b)    Continuous Relationship with the Company Required.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(i)

employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any other entity the employees, officers, directors, consultants, or advisors of which are eligible to receive option
grants under the Plan (an "Eligible Participant"). 


        (c)    Termination of Relationship with the Company.    If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for
any reason, then, except as provided in Section 1(i) hereof or paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the right to exercise this Option shall terminate 90 days after such cessation
(but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to
exercise this Option on the date of such cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates the non-competition or confidentiality
provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or the
provisions of Sections 4 (Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation), 5 (Proprietary
Information) or 6 (Notice of Resignation or Cessation of Service) hereof, the right to exercise this Option shall terminate
immediately upon such violation. 


        (d)    Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability.    If the Participant dies or becomes disabled prior to the Final
Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for "Cause" as specified in paragraph (e) below, this Option shall be exercisable, 


3







 



within
the period of 12 months following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death, by an authorized transferee),  provided that this Option shall be
exercisable only to the extent that this Option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or
disability, and further provided that this Option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date. For purposes hereof, "disability" means the
inability of the Participant to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, and shall be determined by the Company on the basis of
such medical evidence as the Company deems warranted under the circumstances. 


        (e)    Termination for Cause.    If, prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant's employment or other
relationship with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below), the right to exercise this Option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such termination of
employment or other relationship. If the Participant is party to an employment, consulting or severance agreement with the Company that contains a definition of "cause" for termination of employment
or other relationship, "Cause" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in such agreement. Otherwise,
"Cause" shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant or willful failure by the Participant to perform
his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of the provisions of Sections 4 (Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation), 5 (Proprietary Information) or 6 (Notice of Resignation or Cessation of
Service) hereof or any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the Participant and the
Company), as determined by the Board, which determination shall be conclusive. The Participant's employment or other relationship shall be considered to have been terminated for "Cause" if the Board
determines, within 30 days after the Participant's resignation, that termination for Cause was warranted.  


	3.
	Acceleration in Connection with Change of Control. 




        (a)    Definition.    A "Change of Control" shall mean: 



        (1)   the
acquisition by an individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company if, after such
acquisition, such Person beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of either (x) the then-outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (y) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities");  provided, however, that
for purposes of this Section 3(a)(1), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any
acquisition directly from the Company; (B) any acquisition by any company pursuant to a Business Combination (as defined below) which complies with clauses (x) and (y) of
Section 3(a)(2) hereof; or (C) any acquisition by Alfa CTC Holdings Limited or MTG Russia AB, or any of their respective affiliates (each such party is referred to herein as an
"Exempt Person") of any shares of Common Stock; or 


        (2)   the
consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (a "Business Combination"), unless, immediately following such Business Combination, each of the
following two conditions is satisfied: (x) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the
combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, respectively, of the resulting or acquiring company in such Business
Combination (which shall include, without limitation, a company which as a result of 



4







 




such
transaction owns the Company or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring company is referred to herein as the
"Acquiring Company") in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
Securities, respectively, immediately prior to such Business Combination; and (y) no Person (excluding any Exempt Person) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the
then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquiring Company, or of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such company entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination). 




        (b)    Effect on Option.    Subject to Section 9(b) of the Plan: 



        (1)   In
the event of any Change of Control where the acquiring or succeeding company in such transaction (or the parent thereof) does not assume this Option or replace this
Option with an equity or cash incentive program which provides the Participant with an economic benefit substantially similar to this Option, the exercisability of the Option Shares shall, to the
extent the Option Shares are not otherwise fully exercisable, automatically accelerate in full so that all Option Shares shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control,
become fully exercisable. 


        (2)   Following
consummation of a Change of Control in which this Option is assumed by the acquiring or succeeding company or otherwise remains in force, the Option Shares
shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule and upon the terms set forth in this Agreement; 



          (i)  provided, however, that all then unvested B Option Shares shall, from and after the consummation of a Change of Control,
be reclassified as A Option Shares and shall thereafter no longer be subject to the achievement of Performance Objectives but shall instead vest on the time-based vesting schedule then
applicable to the unvested A Option Shares; and: 


         (ii)  further provided that, if, on or prior to the date 120 days following the date of the consummation of the Change
of Control, the Participant's employment with the Company or the acquiring or succeeding company is terminated without Cause by the Company or the acquiring or succeeding company, then this Option
shall become immediately exercisable in respect of all of the Option Shares.
