HAYNES
INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NONQUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Dear
Francis J. Petro:

You
are hereby granted an option (the “Option”) to purchase 200,000 Shares of
Haynes International, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the Haynes International,
Inc. Stock Option Plan, dated as of August 31, 2004 (the “Plan”), upon the
following terms and conditions of this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (“Agreement”):

1.                                       PURCHASE
PRICE OF THE OPTION. The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option is
$12.80 per Share which is equal to the Fair Market Value per Share as of the
date of this Agreement. You must pay this purchase price by personal or bank
cashier’s check at the time the Option is exercised; provided, however, that, with
the approval of the Committee, you may exercise the Option by (i) tendering to
the Company certificates representing whole Shares owned by you duly endorsed
for transfer, (ii), surrendering a sufficient portion of the vested Option
based on the difference between the exercise price of the Option and the Fair
Market Value at the time of exercise of the Shares subject to the Option, or
(iii) any combination of (i) and/or (ii) and cash, together having a Fair
Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price of the Shares
with respect to which the Option is exercised. For this purpose, any Shares so
tendered or withheld shall be deemed to have a Fair Market Value as determined
under the Plan.

To
exercise the Option, you must send written notice to the Committee at the
address provided in SECTION 11 of this Agreement. Such notice shall: (1) state
the number of Shares

being
purchased pursuant to the Option; (2) be signed by the person or persons exercising
the Option; and (3) be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of
such Shares (as provided above). Certificates evidencing Shares of the Company
shall not be delivered to you until an appropriate notice has been delivered
and payment in full has been made and received by the Company.

2.                                       OPTION TERM
AND VESTING. The term of the Option (the “Option Term”) shall be a period of
ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement, subject to earlier termination
as provided in SECTIONS 3 and 4 or as may be provided in the Plan. Except as
otherwise provided below in SECTION 3 or 4, which provide for accelerated
vesting under certain circumstances, the Option shall become vested and
exercisable with respect to 33-1/3 percent of the total number of Shares covered
by the Option on August 31, 2005 and with respect to an additional 33-1/3
percent on each of August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2007, respectively. When the
Option becomes exercisable with respect to any Shares, those Shares may be
purchased at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part, until the Option
Term expires.

3.                                       TERMINATION
OF EMPLOYMENT.

(a)                                  Notwithstanding
the vesting schedule set forth in SECTION 2, if you cease to be the CEO of the
Company and all of its Subsidiaries due to Termination for Cause, all
outstanding Options whether vested or unvested shall be void and deemed to be
forfeited upon the date your employment ceases by reason of Termination for
Cause and shall not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever. If you terminate
employment during the employment term under your employment agreement without
Good Reason, the unvested portion of the Option, shall terminate immediately
and the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for thirty (30)
days following the date of such termination of

 2
 

employment, but in no event
later than the expiration of such Option as specified in this Agreement. If the
Option is not exercised during this period, it shall be void and deemed to have
been forfeited and be of no further force or effect.

(b)                                 If you cease
to be the CEO of the Company and all of its Subsidiaries for any reason other
than Cause or for Good Reason, the unvested portion of the Option shall
immediately vest and become exercisable and the Option shall remain exercisable
for one (1) year following such termination, but not later than the expiration
of the Option Term. If you do not exercise such Option during such period, the
Option shall be void and deemed to have been forfeited upon the expiration of
such period and shall be of no further force or effect. If your employment terminates
upon expiration of the employment term under your existing or a subsequent
employment agreement, the unvested portion of the Option shall terminate
immediately and the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for
ninety (90) days following termination of employment, but in no event later
than the expiration of the Option Term. If the Option is not exercised during
this period, it shall be void and deemed to have been forfeited and be of no
further force or effect.

(c)                                  If you cease
to be the CEO of the Company and all of its Subsidiaries by reason of your
death, Disability or Retirement, the unvested portion of the Option shall
immediately vest and become exercisable and the Option shall remain exercisable
for one (1) year following the date of death or Disability and for six (6)
months following the date of Retirement, but not later than the expiration of
the Option Term. If you, or your authorized representative in the case of
death, do(es) not exercise the Option during such

 3
 

period, the Option shall
be void and deemed to have been forfeited upon the expiration of such period
and shall be of no further force or effect.

(d)                                 In the event
of your Disability or death and only if price quotations for the Shares are not
available on any exchange or national market system, you or the beneficial
holder of the Option, as the case may be, shall have the right during the
exercise period provided in SECTION 3(c) above to demand that the Company
purchase the vested portion of the Option from you, or such beneficial holder,
at a value equal to the value of the difference between the Fair Market Value
of the Shares and the exercise price of such Option.

4.                                       ADJUSTMENTS;
CHANGE IN CONTROL.

(a)                                  The Option
may be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated in the Plan.

(b)                                 Unless the
Committee determines otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Plan or
except as otherwise provided in Section 11 of the Plan, the vesting of the
Option shall not accelerate upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

(c)                                  Except as
provided herein, the Option may be exercised in whole at any time or in part at
any time to the extent that the Shares under the Option are then exercisable.
In no event, however, may the Option be exercised after the expiration of the
Option Term, as described in Section 6, below.

5.                                       TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS. The Option is non-transferable otherwise than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution. It may be exercised during your lifetime only by
you, or if you die, by your executor, administrator, or person(s) to whom the
Option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution in accordance with SECTION 3.

 4
 

6.                                       EXPIRATION
OF AGREEMENT. All rights to exercise the Option shall expire, in any event,
upon the expiration of the Option Term.

7.                                       SHARE
CERTIFICATES. Certificates evidencing Shares issued upon any exercise of the
Option may bear a legend setting forth among other things such restrictions on
the disposition or transfer of the Shares as the Company may deem appropriate
to comply with federal and state securities laws.

8.                                       IMPACT OF
AGREEMENT ON YOUR EMPLOYMENT. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan
shall restrict the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate
your employment at any time with or without Cause subject to any written
employment agreement.

9.                                       AGREEMENT IS
SUBJECT TO PLAN. This Agreement is subject to all terms, provisions and
conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and to such
regulations as may from time to time be adopted by the Committee. In the event
of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this
Agreement, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan shall control, and
this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

10.                                 NATURE OF
THE OPTION. This Agreement is intended to grant a Nonqualified Option.

11.                                 NOTICE. All
notices sent by you to the Company and your exercise of the Option shall be
addressed to Haynes International, Inc., 1020 West Park Avenue, P.O. Box 9013,
Kokomo, IN 46902, ATTENTION: Compensation Committee, or such other address as
the Company may from time to time specify.

12.                                 SECURITIES
LAWS. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in the Plan to
the contrary, the Option may not be exercised until all applicable federal and
state securities requirements pertaining to the offer and sale of the
securities issued pursuant to the Plan have been met and the Company has been
advised by counsel satisfactory to the Company

 5
 

that
all applicable requirements have been met. If requested by the Committee, you
agree to deliver to the Company such signed representations and covenants as may
be necessary, satisfactory to the Company in the opinion of counsel, for compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws and such other instruments
and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request.

13.                                 WITHHOLDING.

under this Agreement or make such other arrangements satisfactory to the Company
with regard to such taxes, including the withholding of Shares of common stock
that are subject to the Option, at such time as the Company deems necessary or

the Current Per Share Market Price

 2
 

for Common Shares on the

in accordance with Section 11(e) hereof to reflect any events occurring in
respect of the Common Shares of the Company after the occurrence of the
Triggering Event.

7.  Amendment to Section 21 of
the Rights Agreement. Section 21 of the Rights Agreement shall be amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:

“The
Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from
its duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice in writing mailed
to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Preferred Shares and the
Common Shares by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights
Certificates by first-class mail.  In the
event the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and the
Rights Agent terminates, the Rights Agent will be deemed to resign
automatically on the effective date of such termination; and any required
notice will be sent by the Company.  The
Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon thirty
(30) days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights
Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Preferred Shares
and the Common Shares by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of
the Rights Certificates by first-class mail. 
If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become
incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such
appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such
removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or
incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a
Rights Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit his or her Rights
Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the registered holder of any
Rights Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a new Rights Agent.  Any
successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court,
shall be an entity organized and doing business under the  laws of the United States or of any state of
the United States, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust or shareholder services powers and is subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its
appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50
million (provided that such requirement shall not apply to the initial Rights
Agent).  After appointment, the successor
Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and
responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without
further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and
transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it
hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or
deed necessary for the purpose.  Not later
than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice
thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of
the Preferred Shares and the Common Shares, and mail a notice thereof in
writing to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates.  Failure to give any notice provided for in
this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the
appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.”

8.  Amendment to Form of
Rights Certificate. The first sentence of the first paragraph of the Form
of Rights Certificate attached as Exhibit B to the Rights Agreement is amended
and restated to read in its entirety as follows: 

 3
 

“This certifies that                ,
or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the number of Rights set
forth above, each of which entitles the owner thereof, subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated as
of January 5, 2005, (the “Rights Agreement”), between Cholestech Corporation, a
California corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare Investor Services,
LLC ( the  “Rights Agent”), to purchase
from the Company at any time after the Distribution Date (as such term is
defined in the Rights Agreement) and prior to 5:00 P.M., California time,
on January 22, 2017 at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such
purpose, or at the office of its successor as Rights Agent, one one-thousandth
(1/1,000) of a fully paid non-assessable share of Series A Participating
Preferred Stock, no par value, (the  “Preferred
Shares”), of the Company, at a Exercise Price of ninety-five dollars ($95.00)
per one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (the “Exercise Price”), upon
presentation and surrender of this Rights Certificate with the Form of Election
to Purchase and related Certificate duly executed.  The number of Rights evidenced by this Rights
Certificate (and the number of one-thousandths (0.001) of a Preferred Share
which may be purchased upon exercise hereof) set forth above are the number and
Exercise Price as of January 22, 1997 based on the Preferred Shares as
constituted at such date.  As provided in
the Rights Agreement, the Exercise Price and the number and kind of Preferred Shares
or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Rights
evidenced by this Rights Certificate are subject to modification and adjustment
upon the happening of certain events.”

9.  No Other Changes. The
remainder of the Rights Agreement shall remain unchanged. 

10.  Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be deemed to be a
contract made under the laws of the State of California and for all purposes
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State
applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State.

11.  Counterparts. This
Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an
original, and each of the counterparts when taken together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.
