and (ii) the exercise  price for all of the  Executive's  options  exercised and
sold in such offering shall be $2.50 per share. The Executive agrees to exercise

would  otherwise  have been  exercised and sold by the Executive in the offering
pursuant to this Section 4(c).

exercise  and  sale  the  Executive   agrees  to  execute  and  deliver  to  the
underwriters  a lock-up  agreement in  substantially  the same form executed and
delivered by the other members of the Company's senior management,  and (ii) the

remaining  options  shall  expire at the close of  business  on the date 90 days
after the expiration of the lock-up period under such lock-up agreement.

     (e) In the event the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is

optionee to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or any attempt to subject to execution, attachment or similar process, any part of this option contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be void and 

 
ineffectual, shall give no right to the purported transferee, and shall result in the forfeiture of this option.
