Option to purchase the number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company
("Shares") set forth above, at the stated Option Price, which is one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant, in the
manner and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

      2. Exercise of Stock Option. Except as hereinafter provided, the
Participant may exercise the Option according to the following schedule with
respect to each installment shown in the schedule on and after the vesting date
applicable to such installment set forth below, provided that no exercise may

         __________________       __________________                20%

      The Option may be exercised in whole or in part, but not for less than one
hundred (100) Shares at any one time, unless fewer than one hundred (100) Shares
then remain subject to the Option, and the Option is then being exercised as to
all such remaining Shares.

      3. Limitations on Exercise. The Participant must exercise all rights under
this Agreement prior to the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (i.e., the
Option will expire upon the tenth anniversary).

      4. Termination of Employment by Death. In the event the employment of the
Participant is terminated by reason of death, the Option shall become
immediately fully exercisable with respect to all of the Shares and shall remain
exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date, or for one (1) year after
the date of death, whichever period is shorter, by such person or persons as
shall have been named as the Participant's beneficiary, or by such persons that
have acquired the Participant's rights under the Option by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution.

      5. Termination of Employment by Disability or Retirement. In the event the
employment of the Participant is terminated by reason of Disability (as defined
in the Plan) or Retirement (as defined in the plan), the Option shall become
immediately exercisable with respect to all of the Shares and shall remain
exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date, or for three (3) years
after the date that the Committee determines the definition of Disability to
have been satisfied, whichever period is shorter, or three (3) years after the
effective date of Retirement, whichever period is shorter, as the case may be.

6. Termination of Employment for Other Reasons. If the employment of the
Participant shall terminate for any reason other than the reasons set forth in
Sections 4 and 5 herein, the Option, to the extent vested on the termination
date, shall remain exercisable for three (3) months after the effective date of
termination. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
permit exercise of all or any portion of the unvested Option, and/or to
immediately vest all or any portion of such Option, subject to such terms as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

      7. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in
the Plan), the Participant's right to exercise the Option shall immediately vest
one hundred percent (100%) as of the first date that the definition of Change in
Control has been fulfilled, and shall remain exercisable for the entire
remaining term of the Option.

      8. Restrictions on Transfer. This Option may not be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, these Options shall be
exercisable during the Participant's lifetime by only such Participant or such
Participant's legal representative.

      9. Recapitalization. In the event there is any change in the Company's
Shares through the declaration of stock dividends or through recapitalization
resulting in stock split-ups or through merger, consolidation, exchange of
Shares, or otherwise, the Committee may make such adjustments to the Option that
it deems necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
Participant's rights.

      10. Procedure for Exercise of Options. The Option may be exercised by
delivery of written notice to the Company at its executive offices, addressed to
the attention of the Secretary of the Company. Such notice: (a) shall be signed
by the Participant or his or her legal representative; (b) shall specify the
number of Shares being purchased; and (c) shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the Option Price of the Shares to be purchased, except in the case of a
cashless exercise as described below.

      The Option Price upon exercise of the Option shall be payable to the
Company in full either: (a) in cash or its equivalent (acceptable cash
equivalents shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Committee); or (b)
by tendering previously acquired shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company
having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total
Option Price (provided that the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company
which are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six
months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price); or (c) by a
combination of (a) and (b).

      Subject to the establishment by the Committee of a procedure by which to
complete a "cashless exercise," the Participant may exercise this Option
pursuant to such "cashless exercise" procedure, as permitted under Federal
Reserve Board's Regulation T, subject to securities law restrictions, or by any
other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be
consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law.

      As promptly as practicable after receipt of written notice and payment
upon exercise, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the
Participant or his or her legal representative, as the case may be, certificates
for the Shares so purchased. The Share certificates shall be issued in the
Participant's name (or, at the discretion of the Participant, jointly in the
names of the Participant and the Participant's spouse). The Company shall
maintain a record of all information pertaining to the Participant's rights
under this Agreement, including the number of Shares for which the Option is
exercisable. If the Option granted pursuant to this Agreement has been exercised
in full, this Agreement shall be returned to the Company and canceled.

      11. Deferral of Delivery of Shares. The Committee may, at its sole
discretion, permit the Participant to defer his or her receipt of the Shares
that would otherwise be delivered to the Participant by virtue of the exercise
of his or her Option. If any such deferral election is required or permitted,
the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for
such deferrals.

      12. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name
any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her
death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such
designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in
a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the
Participant in writing with the Stock Plan Administrator during the
Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits
remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's
estate.

      13. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares subject to this Agreement
until such time as the purchase price has been paid, and the Shares have been
issued and delivered to him or her.

      14. Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the
Participant any right to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall
this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company's right to terminate the
Participant's employment at any time. A transfer of the Participant's employment
between the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries)
shall not be deemed a termination of employment.

      15.     Miscellaneous.

              (a) This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are
      subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be
      amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the
      Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. The Committee shall
      have the right to impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant
      to the Option, as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
      restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under applicable
      federal and state tax law, under the requirements of any stock exchange or
      market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any
      blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

                    It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized
      to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or
      appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of
      which shall be binding upon the Participant.

              (b) The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or
withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be
withheld with respect to any exercise of the Participant's rights under this
Agreement.

                                     4 of 7
<PAGE>

      The Participant may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to
satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company
withhold Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, on the date the tax is to
be determined, equal to the amount required to be withheld. All elections shall
be irrevocable and in writing, and shall be signed by the Participant in advance
of the day that the transaction becomes taxable.

              (c) The Participant agrees to take all steps necessary to comply
with all applicable provisions of federal and state securities and tax laws in
exercising his or her rights under this Agreement.

              (d) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules,
and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

              (e) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this
Agreement, with respect to the Option, shall be binding on any successor to the
Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or
indirect purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Company, or the result of a merger, consolidation or otherwise.

              (g) To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Iowa.

      Please acknowledge your agreement to participate in the Plan and this
Agreement, and to abide by all of the governing terms and provisions, by signing
the following representation:
