any other restrictive legend necessary pursuant to applicable securities law, or
otherwise: "The sale, pledge or other disposition of these shares is restricted
as set forth in an instrument between the stockholder and the Company, a copy of
which is on file at the offices of the Company."

The restrictions on sale, pledge, or other disposition set forth above will
survive any termination of your services as a Director (whether voluntary or
involuntary and whether or not for cause or for good reason or otherwise), death

Securities Laws Restrictions. You represent that when you exercise your Option
you will be purchasing Shares for your own account and not on behalf of others.
You understand and acknowledge that federal and state securities laws govern and
restrict your right to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares unless
otherwise covered by a Form S-8 or unless your offer, sale or other disposition
thereof is otherwise registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
(the "1933 Act") and state securities laws or, in the opinion of the Company's
counsel, such offer, sales or other disposition is exempt from registration
thereunder. You agree that you will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any
Shares in any manner (i) which would require the Company to file any
registration statement (or similar filing under state laws) with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or to amend or supplement any such filing or (ii) in any
manner which would violate or cause the Company to violate the 1933 Act, the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other state or federal law,
or (iii) other than during "window periods" from time to time announced by the
Company in its sole discretion. You further understand that the certificates for
any Shares you purchase will bear such legends as the Company deems necessary or
desirable in connection with the 1933 Act or other rules, regulations or laws.
If you are a director, officer or principal shareholder, Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 further restricts your ability to sell or
otherwise dispose of Shares.

Non-Transferability of Option. The Option is personal to you and is
non-transferable by you other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or as otherwise permitted by the Plan. During your lifetime only
you can exercise the Option except as otherwise permitted by the Plan. Upon your
death, the person or persons to whom your rights pass by will or laws of descent
and distribution will have the right to exercise the Option.

Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right to withhold from your
compensation any withholding taxes payable as a result of your receipt of
Shares. The Company shall also have the right to require that you pay to it all
such withholding taxes in cash as a condition precedent to the exercise of this
Option. You agree to notify the Company when you sell or otherwise transfer or
dispose of the Shares.
