     Option  agreement that in the event of termination for cause an employee or
     former employee (including,  without limitation, any conduct prejudicial to
     or  materially  adverse to the  business of the Company or a Division)  the
     Supervisory  Board or the  Board  of  Management,  as the case may be,  may
     cancel any outstanding  Option granted to such employee or former employee,
     in whole or in part, whether or not vested.

     amount  required  to be withheld  prior to the  issuance or delivery of any
     Shares under the Plan.

     exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant (or
     by the  Participant's  legal  representatives).  Any  infringement  of this
     principle  will cause the  Options  to become  null and void,  without  the
     Option Holder being entitled to any compensation.

9.   NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT
     Nothing  contained in the Plan or in any Option under the Plan shall confer
     upon any employee any right with respect to the  continuation of employment
     with the Company or Division, or interfere in any way with the right of the
     Company or Division  to  terminate  such  employment  at any time.  Nothing
     contained  in the Plan shall  confer upon any  employee or other person any
     claim or right to any Option or Shares.

10.  GOVERNMENTAL COMPLIANCE

     any time the Supervisory Board or the Board of Management,  as the case may
     be, shall determine that the listing,  registration or qualification of any
     Shares issuable or deliverable  thereunder upon any securities  exchange or
     under any  Federal,  state or other law,  or the consent or approval of any
     governmental  regulatory  body,  is  necessary  or desirable as a condition
     thereof,  or in  connection  therewith,  no such Option may be exercised or
     Shares   issued   or   delivered   unless   such   listing,   registration,
     qualification,  consent or  approval  shall have been  effected or obtained
     free of any conditions not acceptable to the Supervisory Board or the Board
     of Management. In the sole discretion of the Supervisory Board or the Board
     of  Management,  as the case may be,  the  provisions  of this  Plan may be
     supplemented  by provisions  set forth in a Schedule (or  Schedules) to the
     Plan  established  in respect of a country or  jurisdiction,  to the extent
     that it is necessary or desirable in order to comply with local law in such
     jurisdiction  or in order to  obtain  favorable  tax,  accounting  or other
     treatment in such jurisdiction.

11.  ADJUSTMENTS

     dividend  or  split,  recapitalization,  merger,  consolidation,  spin-off,

                                       3

     under the Plan may be  adjusted  by the  Supervisory  Board or the Board of
     Management as it shall in its sole discretion deem equitable and the number
     and kind of Shares  subject to any  outstanding  Options  granted under the
     Plan and the  purchase  price  thereof may be  adjusted by the  Supervisory
     Board or the Board of  Management as it shall in its sole  discretion  deem
     equitable to preserve the value of such Options.

12.  AMENDMENT
     The Supervisory  Board or the Board of Management,  as the case may be, may
     amend,  modify,  suspend  or  terminate  the  Plan or any  portion  thereof
     (including  Schedules) at any time,  provided  that,  except as provided in
     Section  11, no  amendment  shall be made which would  reduce the  exercise
     price specified in the Plan.

13.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

          Management in the applicable  Option  agreement,  a Participant  shall

          other gender.
     (d)  The value of Options (or Shares  purchased  upon  exercise of Options)

          Division,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  group  life  insurance,
          long-term disability, family survivors, or any retirement,  pension or
          savings plan.
