option to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, [___] Shares (the

     (b) If the Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of
death, the personal representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees of the Optionee, as
appropriate, shall have the right to exercise the Option up to the earlier of (i) six months from
the Optionee’s death or (ii) the remaining term of the Option.



     (c) If the Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of the
Optionee’s resignation, Retirement, Disability or for any reason other than the Optionee’s death or
discharge for cause, all rights of the Optionee to exercise the Option shall terminate,



 









 




lapse, and be forfeited upon the earlier of (i) six months after the date Optionee’s service
as a director of the Company terminates by reason of such director’s resignation, Retirement,
Disability or such other reason or (ii) the remaining term of the Option, except that in case the
Optionee shall die within six months after the date Optionee’s service as an Eligible Director of

death to exercise the Option.




     3. Exercise of Option.



     (a) This Option is immediately exercisable. Each exercise of the Option, or any part thereof,
shall be evidenced by a notice in writing to the Company. The Exercise Price of the Shares as to
which the Option shall be exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise, and may be paid
to the Company either:




     (1) in cash (including check, bank draft or money order); or




     (2) by the delivery of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price; provided, however, that such Shares, if acquired by the exercise of an
Option shall have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months prior to exercise; or




     (3) by a combination of cash and Shares as described above; or




     (4) by arrangement with a broker acceptable to the Committee in which payment of the
Exercise Price is made pursuant to an irrevocable direction from the Optionee to the broker
to deliver the Company proceeds from the sale of the option Shares in an amount equal to the
exercise price of the Shares.



     (b) The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect
to the Shares covered by this Agreement except to the extent that one or more certificates of such
Shares shall have been delivered to the Optionee, or the Optionee has been determined to be a
stockholder of record by the Company’s Transfer Agent, upon due exercise of the Option granted
hereunder.



     4. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Reorganization. The number of Shares
subject to the Option shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:



     (a) Subject to any required action by stockholders, the number of Shares subject to the option
granted hereunder, and the Exercise Price, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued Shares of the Company resulting from a subdivision or
consolidation of Shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only in Shares) or any other
increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the
Company.



2









 





     (b) Subject to any required action by stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving
corporation in any Reorganization, merger or consolidation, the Option granted hereunder shall
pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the
Option granted hereunder would have been entitled, and if a plan or agreement reflecting any such
event is in effect that specifically provides for the change, conversion or exchange of Shares,
then any adjustment to Shares subject to the Option granted hereunder shall not be inconsistent
with the terms of any such plan or agreement.



     (c) In the event of a change in the Shares of the Company as presently constituted, which is
limited to a change of par value into the same number of Shares with a different par value or
without par value, the Shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Shares
within the meaning of the Plan.



     To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company,
such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive.



     Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Optionee shall have no rights
by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of stock of any class or the payment of any stock
dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or by
reason of any dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, merger or consolidation or spin-off of
assets or stock of another corporation, and any issued by the Company of shares of stock of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares
subject to the Option granted hereunder.



     5. Non-Transferability of the Option. This Agreement, and the Option granted
hereunder, shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution
and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee; provided, however,
that this Agreement, and the Option granted hereunder, may be transferred to one or more members of
the immediate family of the Optionee or to a trust for the benefit of such person or as directed
under a qualified domestic relations order. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of this Agreement and the Option granted hereunder contrary to
the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon this
Agreement, and the Option granted hereunder, shall be null and void and without effect.



     6. Compliance with Securities and other Laws. In no event shall the Company be
required to issue Shares under the Option granted hereunder, if the issuance thereof would
constitute a violation of applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations or a violation
of any other law or regulation of any governmental or regulatory agency or authority or any
national securities exchange. As a condition to any issuance of Shares, the Company may place
legends on shares, issue stop transfer orders and require such agreements or undertakings as the
Company may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such laws or regulations,
including, if the Company or its counsel deems it appropriate, representations from the Optionee
that the Optionee is acquiring the Shares solely for investment and not with a view to distribution



3









 




and that no distribution of the Shares will be made unless such shares are registered pursuant
to applicable federal and state securities laws, or in the opinion of counsel of the Company, such
registration is unnecessary.




     7. Issuance of Shares. Upon the Company’s determination that the Option granted
hereunder has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Committee shall, at its sole
discretion, cause the Secretary of the Company to issue certificates in the Optionee’s name for
such Shares. The Company shall not be liable to the Optionee for damages relating to any delays in
issuing the certificates, if any, to the Optionee, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or
errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.



     8. Alternative Award for Cancellation of the Option. For purposes of this Agreement,
the payment to the Optionee of an alternative award or an amount in cash pursuant to the terms of
Section 16 of the Plan in consideration of the cancellation of the Option granted hereunder shall
extinguish any rights of the Optionee in connection with this Agreement.



     9. Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be in writing, signed by
the party giving or making the same, and addressed (a) to the Company in the care of its President
or Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company in Dallas, Texas, (b) to the Optionee
at the address appearing in the personnel records of the Company for such Optionee or (c) to either
party at such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other.
Except as otherwise provided herein, any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt
thereof by the addressee.



     10. Choice of Law. THE INTERPRETATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND.



     11. Option Subject to Plan. The Option is subject to the Plan. The terms and
provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by
reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or
provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.



     12. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, altered, suspended,
discontinued or terminated by the Committee; provided that no such amendment, alteration suspension
or termination shall materially impair the rights of the Optionee hereunder without the consent of
the Optionee.



     13. Administration of Plan and Agreement. Any determinations or decisions made or
actions taken arising out of or in connection with the interpretation and administration of the
Plan and this Agreement by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.



     14. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and both of which taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

7.1 and except for rights that all holders of Common Stock shall have, Grantee shall have no rights
by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class or payment of any share
dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or by reason of any
dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another
corporation; any issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into
Shares of any class, shall not affect the Award, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to the number or price of the Company’s Shares subject to the Award. An Award of
Restricted Stock shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or
to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.
