<PAGE>   3

or before the Expiration Date, to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock
set forth on page one (1) of this Option Agreement, such number of shares being
subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions set forth below, and in
accordance with the terms of the Plan notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein.

         3. Manner of Exercise. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
set forth herein, this Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time
or from time to time after the Exercise Date and on or before the Expiration
Date as to any part of the number of whole shares of Common Stock then subject
to this Option. Such exercise shall be effective only if the Optionee duly
executes and delivers to the Company, at the principal executive office of the

writing to the Optionee, an option exercise form substantially the same as that
attached hereto as Exhibit A, indicating the number of shares of Common Stock to

representing the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased. No fractional

the Company or its Subsidiaries.

         5. Holder's Exercise Subject to Compliance with Securities Laws.
Notwithstanding the exercise of this Option, in whole or in part, in accordance
with all other provisions of this Option, the exercise of this Option shall only
be effective at such time as counsel to the Company shall have determined that
the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such exercise
will not violate any state or federal securities or other laws. The Company may
require, as a condition of the effectiveness of the exercise of this Option, a
written agreement that all shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to
such exercise shall be held for investment for the Optionee's own account
without a view to any further distribution thereof, that the certificates for
such shares shall bear an appropriate legend to that effect and that such shares
will not be transferred or disposed of except in compliance with applicable
federal and state laws. The Company may, in its sole discretion, defer the
effectiveness of any exercise of this Option in order to allow the issuance of
shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto to be made pursuant to registration or
an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance available under
federal or state securities laws. The Company shall be under no obligation to


                                       3

<PAGE>   4

effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of
any shares of Common Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar
compliance under any state laws.

                  The Company shall inform the Optionee in writing of its
decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise of this Option. During the
period that the exercise of this Option has been deferred, the Optionee may, by
written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid
with respect thereto.

         6. Adjustment of Option Price and Number of Shares That May Be
Purchased Hereunder. The Option Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
that may be purchased hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
in accordance with the following provisions:

                  (a) In the event of the issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock as a dividend, from and after the record date for the determination
of shareholders entitled to such dividend the Optionee (until another such
adjustment, if any) shall be entitled to purchase under this Option the number
of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option
immediately prior to said record date by the percentage that the number of
additional shares constituting any such dividend is of the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to said record date and
adding the result so obtained to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
this Option immediately prior to said record date.

                  Under each adjustment made pursuant to this subparagraph (a)
to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Optionee may purchase under
this Option pursuant to this subparagraph (a), the Option Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment shall be reduced to an amount determined by
dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying such Option Price by the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option immediately prior to such
adjustment by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option
immediately following such adjustment.

                  (b) If the Company should at any time subdivide the
outstanding shares of its Common Stock, the Option Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and if the Company
should at any time combine the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, the
Option Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased, effective from and after the record date of such
subdivision or combination, as the case may be.

                  Upon each adjustment of the Option Price made pursuant to this
subparagraph (b), the Optionee (until another such adjustment, if any) shall be
entitled to purchase, at the adjusted Option Price, the number of shares of
Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by dividing (i) the
product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
this Option Price in effect prior to such adjustment by (ii) the adjusted Option
Price.

         7.  Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. If at
any time while this Option is outstanding there should be any reorganization or
reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or
combination of shares provided for in paragraph 6 above), or any consolidation
or merger of the Company with another corporation, then the number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor
corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, as the case may be, to
which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that may then be
purchased upon the exercise of this Option would have been entitled upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger if this Option had
been exercised in full immediately prior to such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation or merger, may thereafter be purchased hereunder
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore subject to this Option; and in
any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter
of the Optionee to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including the
adjustment of the Option Price and the number of shares issuable upon the
exercise of this Option) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably
may be, in relation to any shares or other property that may thereafter be
purchased hereunder.

         8.  Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any adjustment of the
Option Price, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
that may be purchased upon the exercise of this Option, or any reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or other transaction to which paragraph
7 hereof shall apply, then, and in each such case, the Company, within thirty
(30) days thereafter, shall give written notice thereof to the Optionee at the
address of the Optionee as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall
state the Option Price as adjusted and the increased or decreased number of
shares that may be purchased upon the exercise of this Option, setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation of each.

         9.  Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of this Option shall be made without
charge to the Optionee for any transfer tax or other such expense imposed or
incurred with respect to the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

         10. Assignment. This Option may not be transferred or assigned by the
Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and,
during the lifetime of the Optionee, may be exercised, in whole or in part, only
by the Optionee.

         11. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for the purpose of issue upon the exercise of this
Option, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise of
this Option in full.

                  (b) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Stock
Option Plan to be submitted to its shareholders at the Company's next annual
meeting and shall recommend the Stock Option Plan to the shareholders for
approval.

                  (c) The terms of this Option shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Company and of the
Optionee.

                  (d) In the event of any inconsistency between this Option
Agreement and the Stock Option Plan, the Stock Option Plan shall control.

                  (e) The Optionee shall not be entitled to vote or to receive
dividends with respect to any Common Stock that may be, but has not been,
purchased under this Option and shall not be deemed to be a shareholder of the
Company with respect to any such Common Stock for any purpose.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Optionee have executed this
Option Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
