                     as set forth in Section 8 hereof

                (C)  the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the fair
                     market value per Share on the date of grant of the
                     Subsequent Option. In the event that the date of grant of
                     the First Option is not a trading day, the exercise price
                     per Share shall be the Fair Market Value on the next
                     trading day immediately following the date of grant of the
                     First Option.

                (D)  the Subsequent Option shall become exercisable as to all of
                     the shares subject to the Subsequent Option on the date of
                     grant.

                number of Shares previously purchased under Options to exceed
                the Pool, then the remaining Shares available for Option grant
                shall be granted under Options to the Outside Directors on a pro
                rata basis. No further grants shall be made until such time, if
                any, as additional Shares become available for grant under the
                Plan through action of the stockholders to increase the number
                of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through
                cancellation or expiration of Options previously granted
                hereunder.
